In the feudal period, people attach great importance to funerary culture, thinking that they enjoyed all the glory before they died, and after death, as long as they were buried thickly, they could also enjoy wealth after the bliss, but they did not expect to cause the rampant tomb robbery industry, there are many very famous cultural relics and monuments that have been looted by tomb robbers, and now it is even more difficult to find a complete tomb, but in the Shanxi region of the mainland, a coffin made of gold has been unearthed, but it has not been opened after being found for decades, and experts have scanned the coffin with X-rays. I actually found that there was a valuable treasure inside.
Longquan Temple, located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi, was built in the Tang Dynasty, but it was destroyed by fire during the Jin Yuan Period and rebuilt here during the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until after the founding of the Country that the country restored the old incense flames. In order not to suffer the fire as it once did, the Shanxi Cultural Relics Institute applied to build a reservoir at Longquan Temple in case of emergency, so in May 2008, the construction officially began, workers worked here for several days, ready to dig the reservoir deeper, but accidentally dug some hard stone slabs.
At that time, the experts of the cultural relics depository were also present, the workers told these experts about the discovery, the intuition of archaeology made them feel that it was not right, so they personally excavated, and sure enough, soon after, some stones and stone strips were dug up, these things with obvious patterns and patterns, obviously carved by hand, the experts thought that this may be an ancient tomb, immediately gathered professionals and teams, cleaned out the bottom of this pool, found that it is a tower base site, built by the mountain, The length is about 9.6 meters, and the residual height is only 1.3 meters.
And under this pagoda base, there is an underground palace, which reminds experts of the pagoda underground palace discovered in Shaanxi Famen Temple in 1986, and the excavation work found countless rare treasures, silk fabrics, tea sets, hundreds of cultural relics and the only treasure in the world that exists in the world. So what kind of treasures will be hidden in the dungeon this time?
Thinking about this, the experts quickly began the formal excavation investigation. First of all, the entrance to the underground palace, the entrance is a stone gate, on both sides of the stone door stands a Buddhist statue, the stone statue is very well preserved, the eyes are shining, the face is fierce, vivid, like this stone statue in the year after the completion of the carving will be colored, just because it is too close to the ground, a long period of weathering led to the color falling off, it is a pity.
Opening the stone gate, the archaeologists could not help but be a little disappointed, the underground palace of Famen Temple was huge in scale, hiding tens of thousands of treasures, but this underground palace as a whole appeared hexagonal, covering an area of less than one square meter, and the treasures hidden were estimated to be only a few pieces, they quickly cleaned up the area around the underground palace, and finally found only a few already dilapidated murals and a "Kaiyuan Tongbao" copper coin.
In the middle of the underground palace is a stone letter, which almost fills the underground palace, and it is impossible to accommodate other things, so the secret of this underground palace is in this stone letter. But what can such a small stone letter hold? Experts looked at it for a long time and did not understand, after opening the stone letter, there was some dilapidation inside, the wooden planks inside were scattered everywhere, several gilded copper ornaments were scattered in it, in the middle was a gilded copper coffin, and after taking out the items inside and counting and stitching, they found that these wooden boards were shrunken coffin boards, because of perennial corruption, they fell off and scattered, and those copper ornaments were the four gods of the Green Dragon White Fox Suzaku Xuanwu and a pair of copper Buddha feet.
Buddha ornaments are rare in the history of the mainland, most of them can only be seen on stone tablets and stone carvings, but this time they are made of ornaments, and the four gods of Taoist culture are placed together, and the two cultures are intertwined and sparkling.
The most important of these gilded coffins, supported by a finely carved bronze Sumire seat, is small and exquisite, similar to the overall shape of the stone letter, with a high and wide front and a low and narrow back. The bronze coffin is carved with a very fine pattern, and the coffin is decorated with a ring of auxiliary heads and a row of white pearls. This copper coffin contains a door, and the ornaments scattered in the stone letter are all the decorations on this copper coffin, so the exquisite copper coffin is only an artifact containing items, experts are more curious about what is inside, after the copper coffin is opened, there is a silver coffin with a bow inside.
This silver coffin was also scaled down in a circle, and there was also a silver Sumire seat supporting it, and it was also guarded by beasts similar to the four gods, but it was far more delicate than the copper coffin it was wearing, not only the carved pattern was more cumbersome and exquisite, but this silver coffin was also inlaid with many colored gems. But experts have found that these gemstones are imitations made of glass, and they can't help but inhale cold air, and the Tang Dynasty already had such a delicate process of making stained glass and carving.
The bow on this silver coffin has also continued from the Tang Dynasty to the modern era, and it has a thousand years of history, which is an uncompromising cultural relic, but if you want to open this silver coffin, you have to break this bow, which is not the destruction of cultural relics? Experts are very embarrassed for a while, fortunately, because the time is too long, the coffin and the bow have fallen off, only need to gently take it will not be destroyed, before opening this silver coffin experts have anticipated the situation inside, and sure enough, as they thought, after opening the silver coffin, it contains a golden coffin that has been reduced in equal proportions, and this golden coffin is tied with a bow made of silk. The experts were even more excited to see this, and had already concluded that what was shelved in the golden coffin must be the Most Precious Treasure of the Buddhist Family. Because this is a very significant "golden coffin and silver urn". The golden coffin silver urn is a funeral tool of the Buddhist family, offering the relics of the senior monks, not the remains, the Buddhist family feels that the flesh is dirty and impure, so after death, the remains will be cremated, if there is a relic after cremation, it will be enshrined with a gold coffin and silver urns.
If you do not destroy the bow outside the golden coffin, the golden coffin can not be opened, the experts are unwilling, they scanned the golden coffin with X-ray, found that there are 13-15 particles inside the coffin, wrapped in flexible packaging, which is undoubtedly a relic. Due to the technical limitations of the time, it was not possible to open the coffin without breaking the ribbon, and this golden coffin was collected for twelve years. Later, the Taiyuan Cultural Relics Protection Department invited well-known cultural relics protection experts at home and abroad to increase the elasticity of the ribbon through modern chemical and technological means, maintain the original color and shape, and take it out of the smaller end, and the golden coffin was also opened, which contained a delicate bag, and the bag contained 23 relics. Many experts said that it was too expensive.
More than 1,000 years ago, the people of the Tang Dynasty placed this object in the underground palace for worship, and a thousand years later, we tried our best to open the gift of exploring the long river of history, and the wonderful blend proudly told the world about the glory of the past and our ancient and powerful civilization.
The treasure protected by the 5-story coffin was shelved for more than ten years before it was opened, expert: too valuable
