In ancient times, there was a saying that "things die as things are born", which means that :(ancient) what kind of life was before life, and after death, they also had to enjoy the same treatment; especially in ancient rich and noble families, the wind of thick burial was particularly prevalent, and the "imperial family" just met the requirements. As the richest "people", the emperors of the past not only worked hard to build luxurious mausoleums for themselves, but also placed various rare treasures in the tombs. The imperial tomb buried these treasures in the ground, and it is unknown whether these dead people can enjoy them, but it is certain that they can attract tufuzi.
It is said that on February 7, 2000, the third day of the first lunar month, the sons and daughters of China are immersed in the joy of the Spring Festival; every night comes, people can always see fireworks rising, and then a crisp sound, illuminating the night sky, of course, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers. The villagers of Dahong Village, Changtan Town, Zhongxiang, Hubei Province, felt a hint of strangeness from the sound of firecrackers: the sound of firecrackers seemed to be too loud, and they could feel the ground shaking, and the dust on the beams of the house also whizzed down; some people thought of the not far away, legendary "Tomb of the Ancient Prince", was someone eyeing here?
After a difficult night, someone took advantage of the faint light of the sky to rush to the town to report the case, the public security organs found an explosion point suspected of stealing a hole at the scene of the crime, and then transferred the case to the cultural relics department; a provincial archaeological team came to Dahong Village, surveyed and determined that this was the mausoleum of Zhu Zhanyao, the "King of Liangzhuang" in the Ming Dynasty, because the ancient tomb may have been targeted by Tufuzi, and the archaeological team decided to carry out rescue excavations of the tomb of King Liangzhuang. Shi Zai, "King of Liangzhuang" Zhu Zhanyao, the ninth son of Emperor Akihito, was given the title of King of Liang in 1424, and his fief was in present-day Zhongxiang, Hubei Province; after Zhu Zhan's death, he was given the title of "Zhuang", so he was also known as the King of Liangzhuang.
In fact, the "Tomb of King Liangzhuang" in the circle has long been no secret, "Zhongxiang County Chronicle" records that "the tomb of King Liangzhuang is forty-five miles south of Xingdu City, Yuling Mountain in Chengnan Village", because of the policy of "not taking the initiative to excavate ancient tombs", the tomb of King Liangzhuang has not been excavated, so it has been preserved to this day. To put it simply, the excavation of the tomb of King Liangzhuang was shrouded in an ominous atmosphere at the beginning: from the perspective of the robbery cave, Tufuzi had blown through the top of the tomb, and perhaps he had succeeded, if this was the case, the excavation value of this ancient tomb was greatly reduced; after digging up the soil and leaking out of the tomb door, the tomb door began to leak water, and the archaeological team transferred three high-power pumping machines, which was twelve days.
After there was no obvious water flowing out, the archaeological team began to dismantle the tomb door, and the next scene was even more shocking, a red textile drifted out along the water, looking brightly colored and well-preserved, at first the archaeological team was really happy, theoretically, ancient textiles are very valuable for research; but after seeing it clearly, this textile is actually a towel, and the towel is also printed with "1999", which once again proves that the tomb of Liang Zhuang King may have been stolen.
Nevertheless, the excavations had to continue. When all two tomb doors were opened, the scene shocked everyone again: there should have been two stone doors, but now only one is left, and the thousands of pounds of "tap stones" behind the door have also disappeared, is it that the tomb of King Liangzhuang has already suffered large-scale excavations? As the excavations continued, the archaeological team found some scattered artifacts in the front room of the tomb, which everyone thought was left behind by Tufuzi; realistically speaking, the archaeological team had lost confidence in "unearthing precious cultural relics". When the excavation reached the main burial chamber, everyone was once again stunned by what they saw: under the illumination of the searchlight, a different kind of light was reflected in the mud, which could be clearly distinguished by the naked eye alone, which was the light emitted by the refraction of gold, silver and precious stones.
After collation, a total of 5100 cultural relics were excavated from the tomb of King Liangzhuang, including gold, silver, jade, porcelain, pottery, copper, lacquer and other utensils; of which there are more than 800 pieces of gold and silver ware alone, more than 700 pieces of jade, and more than 3400 pieces of various types of jewelry, the total value is difficult to estimate. According to statistics, the amount of gold in the excavated cultural relics exceeds 16 kilograms, the amount of silver exceeds 13 kilograms, and the various types of precious jade (gemstones) exceed 14 kilograms; it is not an exaggeration to say that the cultural relics unearthed from the "Liangzhuang Tomb", not to mention its historical value, are only worthy of "valueless"; of course, the historical research value of the cultural relics excavated from the tomb of King Liangzhuang is even more difficult to estimate.
The tomb of King Liangzhuang can be described as a treasure everywhere, here are a few examples, the tomb of King Liangzhuang unearthed "Zheng He Gold Ingots", is the only cultural relics that can prove that "Zheng He went to the West"; "Zheng He Gold Ingots" has two pieces, which are inscribed on them "Yongle Seventeen April □ Day Western Ocean and other places to buy, 80% color gold one ingot Wu pick up two folds" words. According to the Ming Shilu, Zheng He "went to the West" seven times in the past thirty years, of which the fifth "going to the West" was from May of the fifteenth year of Yongle to July of the seventeenth year of Yongle; the inscription on the "Zheng He Golden Ingot" reads "April of the seventeenth year of Yongle ... It was bought in the West and other places", apparently the gold melting land purchased by Zheng He, and later it was awarded to Zhu Zhanyuan and buried as a funeral in the tomb of King Liangzhuang.
In addition to the "Zheng He Gold Ingot", it is particularly eye-catching to see the gold-encrusted gem hat, which is set with a 200-carat colorless sapphire on the top, which is also the largest sapphire found so far; in addition, the tomb has also unearthed gold-set gemstones with belts, cloud-shaped gold-clad gemstone hairpins, gold-encrusted gemstones, blue jade hollow double partridge peony hairpins, gold-encrusted gemstones and other treasures, each of which can be called a national treasure- Speaking of this or a friend has not forgotten the "red towel floating out of the tomb", the expert also gave a corresponding explanation; this "towel" should be used by the tufuzi to block the cannon hole when blasting, and the huge impact force pushed it into the tomb, and then with the operation of the water pump, this only appeared in the form of "floating out of the tomb".
Or a friend asked again, "Since the tomb roof has been blown up, why didn't Tufuzi touch those precious cultural relics?" In fact, it is easy to understand, as mentioned earlier, the tomb is full of water, and several pumping machines have been pumping for "twelve days" continuously, which shows its water depth; although Tufuzi blew open the tomb roof, but wanted to take out the treasure from such a deep burial chamber, the difficulty was higher than blowing up the tomb roof, which gave the archaeological team time for "rescue excavation".
