In fact, the harvest of the archaeological community in recent years is still very large, from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present, excavated a large number of tombs, cleaned out countless ancient cultural relics, to say which period of the most tombs? It should be the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are quite a few tombs in the Han Dynasty, and there are relatively few tombs like the Tang Dynasty.
However, once the Tang tomb is excavated, almost all of them can excavate a large number of rare treasures, such as the Famen Temple Underground Palace in Shaanxi, which really unearthed too many ancient cultural relics that shocked the world.
Today we want to introduce is also a Tang Dynasty tomb, but and the form of the tomb is very different, it is the ancient cellar, the cellar and the tomb have a fundamental difference, the general ancients encountered some unexpected things, such as war or to avoid miscreants stealing, so they put their own money in a jar, and then buried in the soil, to be taken away in the coming day.
And the following cellar is the famous Hejia Village Cellar, I believe that the netizens who love archaeological culture have some understanding, Hejia Village Cellar is located in the southern suburbs of Xi'an, Hejia Village Tang Chang'an City Xinghua Fang, and its discovery is also very related to local workers.
It was 1970, when there was a construction site in Hejia Village, it was obvious that there were many workers working at that time, but one of the unexpected workers accidentally dug out a pottery urn, which was 65 centimeters high, which surprised the workers at that time, and everyone naturally associated this pottery urn with the treasure.
Unexpectedly, after opening this clay urn, it was filled with countless gold and silver jewels, and all this was just the beginning, and the next day after the archaeologists arrived, they began to excavate again.
That is, the next day, the archaeologists once again excavated a pottery urn about the same size as the workers dug on the first day, and when it was opened, it was also filled with a variety of gold and silver jewelry, all of which was simply exciting. Not long after, a third silver jar was excavated again.
So how many treasures are contained in these two clay urns and a silver jar? According to the statistics of the last archaeologists, there are more than 1,000 pieces in total, and after expert identification, these more than 1,000 treasures are from datang treasures.
Among them, there are 271 pieces of gold and silverware, 466 gold, silver and copper coins, etc., and 3 cultural relics have been rated as national treasure-level cultural relics, they are the Mandarin Duck Lotus Petal Pattern Gold Bowl, the Gilded Dancing HorseBit Cup Pattern Imitation Leather Bag Silver Pot and the Gilded Parrot Pattern Beam Silver Jar, and a beast head agate cup is known as the only product in the sea.
What is intriguing is that in the following decades, these 3 national treasure-level cultural relics have been secretly hidden for 34 years, and have not been publicly displayed, it is estimated that it is too valuable, or it is afraid of miscreants, but finally it was made public in 2004, and that time the public attracted countless domestic and foreign tourists to visit.
It can only be said that the HejiaCun Cellar is really a great discovery of great historical value, which completely allows our descendants to understand the peak cultural skills of the Tang Dynasty.
