As we all know, the ancients "died as if they were born", believing that people would go to another world after death and would continue to enjoy before they died, so they attached great importance to their own tomb specifications and funerary product grades. Dignitaries and nobles with status are generally very rich in funerary products after death, and the funeral products in the tombs of emperors and princes are innumerable. It is precisely because of the rich funerary products of ancient tombs that the tomb robbery industry was born, but the world has always believed that tomb robbers hurt nature and harm reason. But it has to be said that tomb robbery often affects the research work of historians and archaeologists, because tomb robbers often discover ancient tombs before experts, and to some extent, the tomb robbery technology of tomb robbers is the leading official archaeological technology.
In Sanchahe Village, Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, there is an inconspicuous nameless hill bag next to the village, no one in the villagers has paid attention to it before, but in the winter of 2004, some villagers found that strangers often come to the hill bag in the middle of the night, and they don't know what to do. After receiving the villagers' report, the village party secretary took people up the mountain to check and found the robbery cave and the Luoyang shovel, so he immediately reported it to the local cultural relics department. After the local cultural relics department received the news, it immediately sent an archaeological team to the village of Sanchahe, and when the experts saw the shape of the hill package, they judged that there must be a large tomb under the hill bag.
Although Zhongxiang in Hubei is now a small city, it is well-known in the Chinese archaeological community, because during the Ming Dynasty, there were several feudal lords of the clan in Zhongxiang, and many princes were left here. In 2001, archaeologists found a Ming Dynasty tomb in Changtan Town, not far from Sanchahe Village, because of tomb robbers, which is the tomb of zhu Zhanya, the famous king of Liangzhuang. There are more than 5,000 cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of King Liangzhuang, and there are hundreds of national first-class cultural relics alone, and the small hill bag in front of you is even larger than the tomb of King Liangzhuang, which makes archaeologists pay great attention to it.
After obtaining the approval of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Hubei Provincial Bureau of Archaeology and Cultural Relics immediately organized an archaeological team to carry out rescue excavations, and after more than a month of excavation, the staff finally dug out a brick wall, which is the King Kong Wall in the tombs. When the archaeologists pried open the stone bricks of the Diamond Wall, a large amount of gas gushed out of the tomb, so the archaeological team leader immediately stopped the excavation work, and for safety, the experts used rubber leather pipes to sample the gas and test it to determine that it was non-toxic before continuing the excavation. When the archaeologists entered the front room, they found only white lime and silt, except for a few scattered wooden figurines, and no other funerary items were found.
When the expert entered the middle chamber, he found that there were several lines of water on the tomb wall, and the expert speculated that the tomb was likely to have entered the water, and six coffins were found in the ear chamber, and after looking at the residual teeth, the six coffins had laid six teenage girls. Through the gold and silver jewelry in the coffin, these six maidens should be the maids of martyrdom, to know that the human martyrdom system was abolished in the Han Dynasty, was it revived in the Ming Dynasty, and this precedent was implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor. When the experts entered the back room, they found that the coffin on the coffin bed had decayed, but well-preserved study utensils were found in the niches on both sides.
After cleaning the burial chamber, a total of more than 400 pieces of cultural relics were unearthed, and a bunch of celadon white glazed plum vases were found next to the coffin bed, and after research, it was found that this pair of plum vases was a rare yuan qinghua, which is now the treasure of the four major towns of hubei museum, and experts said that it is worth four hundred million. In the end, experts found evidence in a square box to prove the identity of the owner of the tomb, and according to the excavation of the epitaph, the tomb owner was Zhu Dong, the first king of Yingjing, who built the domain in Zhongxiang. King Ying Jing was the twenty-fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he died of illness in the domain at the age of 27, and because he had no heirs, the title of King Of Yin also ended in a generation. The gold and silver artifacts unearthed by King Ying Jing were pitiful compared to the tomb of King Liang Zhuang, which can be said to be very shabby, and it turned out that this was also influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang.
