Nanjing has a strange land, desolate for hundreds of years. In 1953, experts unearthed a national treasure.
Before and now, our people are more interested in tombs and artifacts. In the past, the state did not attach great importance to the protection of ancient tombs, so many tomb robbers often stole some ancient tombs, stole cultural relics from them and sold them. In modern times, China has paid more and more attention to the protection of ancient tombs and cultural relics, and has put forward some policies.
After a long period of research, today's Nanjing is the gathering place of ancient tomb groups, and many cultural relics have been excavated here. Because many dynasties in ancient times were founded here, it is regarded as a "treasure land of feng shui", and most people of status are buried, so there are many ancient tombs.
In this precious land, Xishan Bridge is the best place for feng shui. Many precious artifacts have been unearthed here, but in this precious land, there is a mountain that has been deserted for hundreds of years. Neither weeds nor farmers who specialize in growing crops have grown successfully, and some people think that some ghosts say there is a problem here. Science exists, so people see it as a no-go zone. Generally speaking, children are not allowed to play here, and no one dares to cultivate here.
But now we all know that there are no ghosts or gods in the world, but people's superstitions. In 1953, some people built brick factories nearby, so someone went digging the mountains one by one, and finally they found green bricks under the soil. Since tombs are often found in this area, these people immediately knew that they might be tombs and then notified the Antiquities Department.
Although the discovery of ancient tombs is very common in the local area, many people are very curious about the location of this mountain, and there are many people around. They wanted to see what kind of relics the tomb could unearth, and they wanted to hear experts explain why there was no grass here.
After some research, experts determined that this is an ancient Ming Dynasty tomb. Then another epitaph was found, and it is said that the owner of the tomb was Jin Ying, a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. Although the eunuch's position seems to be very low, there is nothing to see, but this Jin Ying is different. He served four generations of emperors. It should be said that his position should be higher and higher. After all, he was a waiter for generations of emperors. He was an old man in the palace, not to mention that he made the emperor angry in the era of Ming Jingtai, and even then he was only punished by demotion and transfer to Nanjing.
Generally speaking, if the eunuch is demoted from the palace, the day should be very sad. But he was different, not to mention how many bribes he had received while serving the emperor. Just because he could serve four generations of emperors, we can see that this man is very scheming and just very sleek, otherwise how could he stay with the emperor for so long? So even though he was demoted, his life was still very moist.
Although there should be many precious cultural relics in this man's grave, after the baptism of the predecessors, experts found that the cultural relics here can be called national treasures. People wonder why there is no grass here. In fact, the tomb used lime rammed earth and a layer of brick walls. Even though the roots of plants can pass through the layer of rammed earth, they cannot pass through bricks, making it difficult to absorb nutrients and plants cannot grow.
