Speaking of Zhou Gong's dream interpretation, everyone thinks of sleeping. The Zhou Gong that Xiaobian wants to tell you today is the fourth son of Ji Chang, the King of Zhou Wen, and this person's name is Zhou Gongdan. Since the death of his younger brother King Mu of Zhou, because King Cheng of Zhou was still young, the Duke of Zhou controlled the government, and he had been serving the imperial court wholeheartedly. But as for where Zhou Gong was buried after his death, it has always been a mystery in the archaeological community, and it has not been found after more than 30 years of searching.
Tombs in the Western Zhou Dynasty did not have large mounds of sealed mounds, so it is difficult to find out where the Zhou Gong was buried. There is a village in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, where the villagers are surnamed Zhou, and the population here is not large, they have lived here for generations, and they do not know their ancestral status.
In 2004, archaeologists carried out a detailed excavation of the ruins of the Zhou Gong Temple, of which there were 19 large tombs, I also found a number of funerary pits, and found many bones and armor next to the site, in fact, these bones are the original oracle bone script, but also in more than 700 pieces of armor pieces, you can find more than 400 words that can be identified, and there are 4 pieces of records of the words of The Duke of Zhou, and there are several pieces of bones that record the activities of the King of Zhou.
In addition, more than 1500 meters of walls have been found, which are obviously used to defend against foreign enemies. There are as many as 6 large earthen building sites. These discoveries are very rare, even at the Site of Zhouyuan. When archaeologists excavated the main burial chamber, they found multiple robbery holes, which means that they have been searched by tomb robbers before.
But they still did not give up on digging forward, but there was one thing that made the experts very angry, and actually searched for flashlights and walkie-talkies in the ancient tomb, which was obviously a modern item left by the tomb robbers, that is to say, there were not many cultural relics left in the tomb after the theft. I don't know how much netizens know about the Western Zhou Dynasty? Xiaobian's favorite is Zhou Gong.
