It is true that there is really no wonder in our land of China, who can think that there is a thousand-year-old underground palace hidden under an ancient well, and many precious cultural relics have been found under this underground palace, and even 4 Buddha relics have been unearthed, so that at that time it really alarmed the entire archaeological community and the Buddhist world.
It happened in the White Crane Town of Shanghai, many people should still have some impression of the White Crane Town, this White Crane Town is extremely not simple, as early as the Song Dynasty, this White Crane Town is not this name, but is called "Qinglong Town".
Moreover, during the Song Dynasty, Qinglong Town was an important port for foreign trade at that time, but with the passage of time, Qinglong Town slowly withdrew from the historical tide river.
Time back to 2009, when the experts of the Shanghai Museum were preparing to study the history of Qinglong Town, and not long after, an archaeological team sent by the Shanghai Museum came to Qinglong Town, in fact, to carry out some archaeological surveys, but the survey operation unexpectedly had a harvest.
When the archaeological team came to the southwest of Qinglong Town, an archaeologist accidentally found a strangely shaped ancient well, indeed this ancient well really attracted everyone, and then archaeologists began to identify it, and the preliminary identification of this ancient well has a history of at least 1,000 years, most likely the Song Dynasty.
In addition, this ancient well is indeed covered with a large amount of filled soil, after a period of time, the archaeological team will be filled in the well to clean up, indeed from the appearance, this ancient well is very distinctive, completely in line with the products of the Song Dynasty, and the ancient well is also engraved with the name of the craftsman.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard something coming out from under the ancient well, just like the feeling of clanging, as if someone was knocking, which really made the archaeological team wonder, what is the situation?
In the subsequent research and discussion, the experts once again found a great harvest, that is, the historical records recorded that an ancient temple was built near Qinglong Town, that is, Longping Temple.
What I didn't expect was that this news made the archaeological team dig for 6 years, and what was the result?
In fact, it is really exciting, because the archaeological team really excavated the ruins of Longping Temple recorded in the historical records here, and there is also the underground palace of the Longping Temple Pagoda, and after the measurement of the archaeological team, the entire Longping Temple pagoda ruins exceeded 1,000 square meters.
So what treasure is hidden in this Longping Temple Pagoda Underground Palace?
Among them, the Pagoda Underground Palace of Longping Temple presents an imitation pagoda structure, rectangular in shape, 1.48 meters long from east to west, 1.2 meters wide from north to south, and 1.42 meters high. The inner walls of the underground palace are made of stone slabs, and the lower part is covered with a large number of coins, which are almost all five-baht coins.
The most attractive thing in the underground palace is undoubtedly the treasure letter, there is also a Ashoka Pagoda on the left and right sides of this treasure letter, and the treasure letter is divided into 4 layers, namely wooden letter, iron letter, wooden sticker gold letter and silver letter.
And the most important thing is undoubtedly in the inner layer, the expert found a copper bottle, and found the most precious treasure in the copper bottle, that is, 4 round beads, which are actually Buddha relics, of which 3 are crystalline.
It can be said that the discovery of the pagoda base and the underground palace of Longping Temple has provided important materials for our experts and scholars to study the construction process of the pagoda foundation under the foundation during the Northern Song Dynasty and the burial system of the underground palace.
