In ancient times, as the children of the emperor or the nobles, in fact, many times do look very lucky, but there are also many helplessness, especially for women, we have seen a lot of ancient court dramas, many times the emperor will let his daughter marry away for some things, and that person has not even met, this is political marriage, all for the sake of the country, but then you must sacrifice women's rights and interests.
At that time, in order to prevent the Xiongnu from attacking their own territory, Emperor Jingdi of Han and Emperor Wu of Han had no choice but to let their daughters marry far away, and there were actually many such examples. The owner of this ancient tomb that we want to introduce in this article is like this, she was only 13 years old when she died, she also experienced a political marriage, but maybe she was still young at the time, so she was still ignorant of it, in fact, it is really sad!
It was in the mid-1970s, in the village of Otsukaying in Ci County, when a villager carried a hoe to his family's field to cultivate the land, and while wielding a hoe, the hoe in his hand suddenly flew out, and the tiger's mouth was shocked, and it was obvious that the hoe had dug a hard object.
At this time, the villagers on the side were surrounded, after everyone worked together to dig up, but found that there was a tomb roof, this sudden discovery made the villagers very surprised, to be honest, I really don't know what this is, for safety reasons, everyone proposed to report it, but this matter was not immediately taken seriously.
Until 2 years later, that is, in 1978, the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau approved the excavation of the ancient tomb here, with the efforts of the archaeological team to excavate, soon the ancient tomb was dug up, in the process of cleaning, the archaeological team found the tomb epitaph, which clearly recorded the identity of the tomb owner.
The owner of the tomb is the fourth emperor of Northern Qi, Gao Zhan's wife, Princess Ruru Lu, I believe that many people must not have heard of the name of Princess Ruru, Princess Ruru was born in the Rouran clan, calling herself Rouran, surnamed Yuwen Lu, at that time the Rouran clan and the Northern Wei had a deep connection, Eastern Wei in order to unite the Rouran clan to contain the Western Wei, they wanted to win over the King of Ruru.
In this way, the 5-year-old Princess Ruru married Gao Zhan, who was only 9 years old at the time, and after arriving in the Central Plains, Princess Ruru did enjoy a very superior life, and her husband Gao Zhan was also very happy and harmonious, after all, both people were children, but it was a pity that Princess Ruru had a thin life, and when she was 13 years old, she had a serious illness and died not long after.
It is true that many people cannot imagine that this 13-year-old girl has such a shocking background, but even so, it is indeed sympathetic, after all, for the sake of the family's interests, it is very sad to think about it!
Although the tomb of Princess Ruru has also been stolen in history, many funerary items have been unearthed, such as precious murals, as well as a large number of pottery figurines, etc., and more importantly, it provides our experts with good information for studying the history, politics, culture and other aspects of the Northern Dynasty.
