We know that cultural relics can be said to be the most vivid history books, the excavation of a large tomb can often have a huge role in promoting the historical research of an era, and the structure and customs of cultural relics and tombs excavated from ancient tombs can reflect the aesthetic and cultural characteristics of an era. Therefore, each tomb is extremely precious, but unfortunately, it is precisely because there are many cultural relics of great value in the ancient tomb that it has attracted the patronage of many tomb robbers.
In ancient times, the tomb robbery industry was already very rampant, and even the four gate sects of tomb robbery were spread, such as the gold lieutenant, the mountain mover, the unloading force, and the Faqiu Tianguan. One of the most well-known is Lieutenant Touching Gold, because Captain Touching Gold was established by Cao Cao.
Chen Lin wrote in the "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao": "Cao You specially placed general Fa Qiu Zhonglang and Lieutenant Touching Jin, and all the turmoil they passed was exposed everywhere. Nowadays, the archaeological community has lamented that "there are nine empty rooms in the ten rooms of the Han Tomb", and a large part of this is stolen by lieutenants who touch the gold. Nowadays, lieutenant touching gold has become a legend, but the industry of tomb robbery still exists.
On November 22, 2014, on a construction site in Hejiadun, Lianggong Village, Dock Town, Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province, the excavator master was working as usual, but as soon as he shoveled down, a large hole suddenly appeared on the surface of the loess, and the foreman immediately waved to the driver to stop.
As an old foreman with many years of experience in the construction site, he has dug up ancient tombs in the past, and each time he will unearth many cultural relics, which are some real treasures, if they are destroyed by a shovel, it is a pity, so he will actively and slowly let the excavator master stop, and then reflect the situation to the cultural relics department.
Soon after, experts arrived at the site and cordoned off the entire site. According to locals, this place was originally a vegetable field for villagers, but it was sold collectively in time for industrial development. They have grown vegetables here for many years, and they have not dug this ancient tomb, but they did not expect to be dug out by the excavator master.
On the morning of November 23, experts excavated the tomb, and the local cultural protection department preliminarily judged that it was an ancient tomb from the Six Dynasties era, which has a history of more than 1,700 years. The entire tomb is made of green bricks, the top of the tomb is arched, the burial chamber is about 5.2 meters long, about 1.6 meters wide, and about 1.5 meters high.
Although this ancient tomb is not the tomb of a prince and general, it is at least the tomb of a rich and noble family during the Six Dynasties period, so the excavated cultural relics should not be too bad. However, what headaches the experts are that most of the burial chambers are full of silt, and in order to protect the cultural relics, the experts can only use a small shovel to clean up the silt.
However, what puzzled the experts was that after cleaning for a long time, no precious cultural relics were found, only some bits and pieces of copper coins, and a chicken head pot, until when the experts cleaned the right corner of the entrance of the tomb, they found two overlapping and upside-down porcelain plates. Porcelain from 1700 years ago? It was a treasure, but when the experts cleaned the porcelain plate, they were stunned.
The two porcelain plates are as polished as new, and the bottom is impressively printed with the English characters of "CHINA GARDEN" (Made in China), at which time the experts realized that the tomb has been patronized by tomb robbers, and these two porcelains are likely to be deliberately put by the tomb robbers to tease the latecomers. The expert was so angry that the two porcelain plates were smashed at the beginning, and the mouth was still scolding and grinning, after all, it was not good to put on anyone, what do you think about this?
