Guizhou Zunyi dug out an ancient tomb, the nails of the coffin are made of pure gold, and the owner of the tomb is Yang Price. In 2014, there was a surprising discovery in the earthworks of the Yangjiahu Reservoir in Zunyi, when the excavator encountered "hard soil", and the texture of the soil layer was more like artificially tamping, "Ancient tomb? Zunyi is far away from the Central Plains civilization, even if it is an ancient tomb, it cannot dig out the Mawangdui, but after the archaeological team came, the plot was reversed.
Experts recognize at a glance that it is a tomb, according to ethnic minority burial customs, this is the standard "earth pit tomb", but the scale is twice as large, obviously not in accordance with the rules, is it the patriarch of the ethnic minority? With the development of excavation and protection, people's mysteries about the size of the cemetery have been solved, the original form of husband and wife burial, different from the Han burial customs, the local minority people rarely have tree monuments, the outside of the ancient tomb is too simple, which also makes the archaeological team less enthusiastic, but as the tomb products are unearthed one after another, the surprise comes.
"This tomb is simple and luxurious, completely unexpected", when the expert skimmed off the floating soil, the golden luster reflected back, and someone exclaimed on the spot, "The coffin board used gold nails!" Everyone brushed and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a golden nail, which put the rotten coffin board and the coffin together, and the emperor did not dare to squander it so much.
The follow-up excavations did not disappoint, in the pit burial chamber filled with a large number of treasures, gold and silver, jade, turquoise, not only the material is superior, but also are fine carving, Guizhou this place road isolation, poor mountains and bad water, how can there be such a large-scale burial products?
When cleaning up the treasure of his wife's tomb, archaeologists found a golden sword, which looked like the Song Dynasty system, but unfortunately the sword body did not have any inscription, just when everyone was at a loss, a new thing was found under the soil layer of less than twenty-five centimeters of land.
A silver candlestick, after cleaning up the inscription was found on the base, the book Yi Di Tian Du Tong Si common a few words, query historical materials found that Tian Shi corresponded to 1255 AD, a Yang Tusi wife, and her husband is the fourteenth Toast Yang Price, corresponding to the Southern Song Dynasty Lizong reign, and the relationship between Yang Price and the central government is also extraordinary.
At that time, the Mongol attack on the Song had reached a white-hot stage, the Mongols besieged Sichuan with the cooperation of the servant army, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty were besieged and could not escape, and The Toast Yang Price gathered a large number of people and horses to help get out of the predicament, so it was commended by the Song Lizong Edict, in addition, Yang Price was able to write and fight, and also won the imperial court.
Once the identity of the owner of the tomb was confirmed, experts found that there were irregularities in the specifications of this tomb, Yang Price was Yang Wen's father, and his son's tomb had long been excavated, using a sarcophagus, but Yang Price, as a heroic marquis posthumously sealed by Emperor Lizong of Song, how could he use a wooden coffin? People re-examined the wood that had already decayed, "It turned out to be golden silk nan wood!" The archaeological team boiled over again.
