A pond in Jiangsu, the water can not be pumped during the drought, expert: it turned out to be Zhuge Liang's brother buried
Introduction: In a rural area in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, a pond shocked many people. It turns out that this pond has never dried up in the memory of many people. The old man in the village said that this pond is a treasure left by the ancestors, no matter what kind of drought the village encounters, as long as you come here to get water, you will be able to survive it safely. Unfortunately, in the 1960s, some people buried the pond, and it was not until after the reform and opening up that the village re-excavated the pond.
Forty years have passed, and the pond is crystal clear. According to everyone's description, in the past four decades, there have been eight major droughts in the village, and the pond is intact, and the drinking water and farmland of the village's people and livestock are all drawn from the pond. Fortunately, the pond did not dry up, helping the villagers get through the difficulties again and again. In 2002, villagers began to discover that the pond often had artifacts floating up.
These artifacts include copper coins and some pottery vessels. As a result, cultural relics experts from Jiangsu Province quickly arrived, and they carried out archaeological excavations here. After surveying, the experts were surprised to find that the pond was very deep and had a large volume, directly connecting to the distant river. This also explains why ponds never dry up. Following the direction of the water, the experts found a tomb, and the experts dug up the cemetery to find that it was actually a mausoleum from the Three Kingdoms period. And, on a stone tablet, the name of the owner of the cemetery was also found. This person was none other than Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge Jin was a local official of Eastern Wu at that time, and he was deeply loved by Sun Quan and was always awarded the status of foreign minister. After Liu Bei's defeat against Wu Guo's army, zhuge Jin still led people to make peace. Therefore, Zhuge Jin in the late Three Kingdoms period was always valued by the monarch of the State of Wu, and he often contacted Zhuge Liang to strengthen the friendship between Eastern Wu and Western Shu. Zhuge Jin's mausoleum is relatively simple, and the specifications are not very high. However, he had a lot of funerary items, and these things had the words given by King Wu on them, which showed that Zhuge Jin was of a higher status at that time. At the same time, zhuge Jin, as a literati, did not like extravagance and waste, and it was reasonable to handle funerals frugally.
Conclusion: When the people in the village learned that this was Zhuge Jin's cemetery, they were very surprised. They built an ancestral hall of Zhuge Jin in the village, which was dedicated to the Zhuge family. They believed that Zhuge Jin was buried here, and their children and grandchildren would be very prosperous. They hope that the village can produce more outstanding talents, and they also hope that their children can become national pillars like Zhuge Jin. Every 15th day of the first month, the incense here is exuberant and the tourists are weaving.
