Guided by Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, sponsored by Baoji Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, and co-organized by Baoji Datang Qin Tomb Cultural Relics Management Institute and Chengdu Yongling Museum, the "Exhibition of Cultural Relics Unearthed from the Tombs of The Great Tang Dynasty qin kings in Baoji" will be exhibited at the Chengdu Yongling Museum from February 20 to July 20.
The Tomb of the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty is the tomb of Li Maozhen and his wife Liu Shi, who dominated the central and western parts of the Guanguan for 38 years in the fifth dynasty of the late Tang Dynasty, located in the western part of the Qin River in 800 miles. Baoji has been the famous "hometown of The Yan Emperor", "the land of bronzes", "the holy land of Buddha bones" since ancient times, and the Chen Cang in "Ming Xiu Zhan Dao, Dark Chen Cang" is the ancient name of Baoji, which is the fusion of ancient Chinese and Western cultures, and is also the main passage from Guanzhong to Hanzhong and Bashu.
In 1999 and 2001, archaeologists excavated two tombs in Baoji Lingyuan Village, and the epitaphs were shown as "King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty" and "Lady Xiande", which judged that they were the tombs of Li Maozhen and his wife in the Five Dynasties period. In May 2013, Li Maozhen's tomb was announced by the State Council as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The two tombs are buried together in accordance with the tomb form of "different caves of the same tomb", the tomb preserves a relatively complete Shinto stone carving, the tomb unearthed porcelain, pottery, bronze, stone tools, epitaphs and other rich funerary products, of which the tomb of the lady unearthed 37 painted brick carvings, including eight people carrying a car, two people carrying a car, women opening the door, driving a crane to the west and other complete patterns, vividly and vividly showing us a colorful picture of secular life a thousand years ago, is a rare artistic treasure.
Li Maozhen (李茂贞), a warlord who was divided into fengxiang (in present-day Baoji), an important town in western Beijing during the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty, played an important role in many historical events of the late Tang Dynasty. In several turmoils in the Tang Dynasty, Li Maozhen relied on his heroic strategy to become the ruler of Fengxiang Domain, and was successively named "King of Qi" and "King of Qin". At the height of his power, Li Maozhen ruled over fifteen towns and forty prefectures, that is, most of present-day Shaanxi, southern Ningxia, western Gansu, and northern Sichuan, and was a strong local force in the late Tang Dynasty.
Wang Jian and Li Maozhen were both local powerful clans that grew up in the late Tang Dynasty, and due to geographical relations, they fought each other several times in history, and they successively fought fiercely in Dongchuan and Shannan' Western Provinces. With the Central Plains Zhu Wen "blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", they also had a brief period of cooperation. Li Maozhen coveted the materials of the Shu state, and Wang Jian saw the strategic barrier of the Qi state, and they joined forces against Zhu Wen to establish Hou Liang, and the two sides launched a long-term regional war due to the conflict of interests, with the rupture of the marriage as the tipping point. The struggle against Qi Shu eventually ended with the death of Wang Jian and Li Maozhen and the establishment of later Tang.
This time, jointly organized by the Baoji City Datang Qin King Mausoleum Cultural Relics Management Office and the Chengdu Yongling Museum, the "Five Generations of Heroes and Thousand Years Of Treasures - Baoji Tang Dynasty Qin King Mausoleum Excavated Cultural Relics Exhibition" is the second encounter between the King of Shu and the King of Qin after a thousand years, and it is also the first outreach of the cultural relics excavated from the Tomb of the Great Tang Dynasty Qin King to leave Baoji. The exhibition is divided into four units: "Millennium Treasures", "Magnificent Brick Carving", "Tang Dynasty Qin King" and "Qishu Dispute", and exhibits a total of 58 pieces/sets of cultural relics excavated from the Tomb of the Great Tang Dynasty Qin King, including brick carving, bronze, porcelain, pottery, iron, stoneware, and silverware, which not only shows the audience the charm of the tomb of Li Maozhen, the fifth generation of tyrants, but also a cultural feast of historical features in the late Tang Dynasty and five dynasties.
The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge from February 20 to July 20 in the exchange exhibition hall on the first floor of the Chengdu Yongling Museum Complex.
