In 1970, in Shuangniu Mountain, Shandong Province, workers were blowing up mountains to get stones, and with a loud noise, a large dark hole appeared in front of the workers, looking into the hole, you can faintly see some brick and tile buildings, it seems that underneath, there is a house.
The person in charge of the construction vaguely felt that they might have dug up an ancient tomb or something, so they informed the local cultural relics department, and soon the archaeological team arrived at the site and conducted an exploration, and found that there was indeed an ancient tomb underneath.
After archaeologists descended to the tomb, some pottery and bronze fragments were found in the tomb, the most striking of which was a jade mask, which covered the face of the tomb owner, and the overall carving was Cloud Raywen, which looked very delicate.
The nose part of this jade mask is carved from a complete jade, and there are two nostrils through which some patterns are also carved, and the entire jade mask is composed of 18 pieces of jade.
Experts have not yet carried out large-scale excavations of the ancient tomb, and as a result, the exploration work has been urgently stopped by the above, and archaeologists have to set their sights on this jade mask, hoping to have some discoveries through this jade face.
In order to make the public feel these ancient cultural relics more intuitively, experts decided to use modern technology to imitate a jade mask, and as a result, because the jade material used in the jade mask was too brittle and the pattern on it was complex, it was difficult to copy.
Until 1990, when the excavation of the tomb began again, experts did not reproduce a jade mask as it was, so they had no choice but to put this jade mask in the museum and cover it with a glass cover to prevent accidents.
In the second excavation, experts spent a total of two years to find more than 1870 cultural relics, through which experts determined that this ancient tomb should be the tomb of princes during the Han Dynasty.
