In the village of Wangjiafeng in Taiyuan, Shanxi, there is an earthen mound, and for a long time there is a legend in their village that there was originally a prince of a country buried here, so the villagers will become the king's tomb slope, and now under this mound, the villagers have planted fruit trees here, but this soil slope they have always been empty. One night, the villagers heard a roar from the direction of this mound, and after dawn, the villagers saw that there was actually a big hole here, and some people suspected that it might be a tomb robber who had heard about the matter, so they immediately called the police and reported it to the local cultural relics department.
After arriving at the scene, the archaeological team found a robbery hole with a diameter of more than 60 centimeters, and there were gloves and other things left by tomb robbers nearby, and even fragments of tombstones. After seeing this situation, the experts considered that the tomb may have been stolen, so they sent someone down to check the situation, and found that the end of the robbery cave had extended into the burial chamber, and after learning of this situation, the experts immediately began rescue excavations.
At this time, the expert who entered the tomb first decided to explore the situation in the tomb first, to see what the tomb robbers had stolen. He saw that there were murals all around his position, but when he was ready to see what was painted on the murals, the flashlight suddenly went out, and the flashlight was charged before it came down, but now it was embarrassing. With a little helplessness, he climbed back from the robbery hole again.
After he returned, he briefly described the situation in the tomb, after all, he could not see clearly. But I don't know who began to rumor in the village, saying that the tomb is haunted, saying that the lights suddenly went out after the archaeology went down, and the archaeologists here were also helpless, but this did not hinder them, the tomb has air entering, these murals and many cultural relics will be irreparable losses if they are oxidized, so they still decided to carry out the excavation work.
Finally, in the autumn of 2002, the tomb passage was opened, but the back gate had collapsed, which was obviously the masterpiece of the tomb robbers. And entering the tomb they also saw the surrounding exquisite frescoes, according to the painting style, they guessed that this may be a tomb of the Northern Dynasty period a thousand years ago, and in the tomb, they found that there is more than one robbery cave here, the tomb has been stolen a long time ago, and now there are not many cultural relics left here, it is a large number of murals.
In the tomb, experts found an epitaph that read, "Qi's late Taiwei Gong Taibao Shangshu Ling Xu Wu'an King", and on one side of the stone table is carved his life, and through understanding, here is buried the Northern Qi general Xu Xianxiu, ancestral generations of officials, but the family is an official of Northern Wei, and he grew up to defect to the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Huan, because of his bravery and repeated military achievements, and finally was crowned king of Wu'an, and finally died in Jinyang, and Jinyang is now Taiyuan. Although there is nothing left in this tomb, the appearance of this epitaph makes up for a lot of the content that does not appear in our current history books, helping us to better study the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
