In this article, the topic that I want to bring to you is -
After the ancient tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty appeared, why did archaeologists scold the owner of the tomb while they were happy.
In the history of five thousand years, among the characters who appeared, whether they were emperors and generals or rich merchants. Many cultural relics and materials are buried underground. This has led to the fact that in our lives today, many commercial buildings or unintentional actions will find traces of ancient tombs.
Archaeology is an important means for our modern people to have a deeper understanding of all aspects of the situation of ancient people, so this work has always been valued by the world and the country. Whenever there is an ancient tomb in the world, it will cause tremors in the archaeological community and the attention of archaeologists. It is reasonable to say that in the past, when studying ancient tombs, archaeologists would be both excited and happy. However, when carrying out archaeological work on an ancient tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an abnormal situation - archaeologists, while happy, even scolded the owner of the tomb.
So why do archaeologists do this? Did the owner of the tomb do something that they felt intolerable?
First, when the villagers were building houses, they accidentally dug up the ancient tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Second, archaeologists rushed to the scene to carry out a comprehensive study of the ancient tomb.
After learning the news of the discovery of the ancient tomb, the archaeologists immediately organized people to rush to the scene. Because the scale of the tomb is not small, archaeologists can only study the tomb in great detail. It didn't take long for the preliminary results to come out— the tomb was not only an ancient tomb from the Southern Song Dynasty, but also the owner of the tomb was a larger official at that time. His name was Hong Qiwei, and he was originally a submariner in Lin'an. In addition, there are data showing that his grandfather's performance during his official period was quite good, so he was very loved by the local people. Therefore, after discovering that the ancient tomb was Hong Qiwei's person, the interest of many archaeologists was fully mobilized.
Third, when studying the two tombstones unearthed in the tomb, experts could not help but scold the owner of the tomb.
In studying all the objects that appear in the tomb a little bit, the people involved in the archaeological work can be said to have achieved an extremely professional level. Originally everything was going forward

It went very smoothly, but I did not expect that when studying the two tombstones unearthed in the tomb, something unexpected happened - archaeologists directly scolded the owner of the tomb after reading the contents of the tombstone. Many people feel incomprehensible at this point, is the owner of this tomb provoking them? How can they be made to swear at a dead man? In fact, if you know the reason, you will definitely follow the archaeologists to scold the owner of this tomb.
Fourth, the reason why experts scolded the owner of the tomb.
It turned out that Hong Qiwei's performance during his tenure as an official was far less than that of his grandfather. Not only was it not good, but it even made a move to escape on its own when the enemy invaded. Run away, and future generations can more or less understand his fear of facing a formidable enemy. But he not only made an escape, but also recorded it in his epitaph as a fear of being a prisoner before escaping. At this moment, the feeling of giving people has become very bad, and it seems that he is trying his best to whitewash himself and fool the people of future generations. In the face of such a tomb owner, not to mention that archaeologists want to scold him, it is estimated that anyone who knows the reason will also want to scold him.
In addition to the above content worth mentioning, there is also a message related to this ancient tomb that is also worth mentioning. You know, since Hong Qiwei was such a "shrewd" person, he should have arranged the aftermath before his death. Even so, then a large number of cultural relics should have been unearthed in his tomb. But in fact, the number of cultural relics excavated from this ancient tomb is not very large. Well, I think everyone has already guessed it. Yes, it is because his tomb has long been visited by many tomb robbers. Tomb robbers have never gone empty, so many robbery caves appear in his tomb, where can archaeologists hope to unearth how many cultural relics from his tomb?
epilogue:
When the course of events was clearly understood, it was discovered. A man lives one life and eventually dies. But the name festival, for the ancients, is like a signboard. Presumably, Hong Qiwei is also very clear. But history is like a mirror, no matter how to clarify, what has been done is still recorded. As the saying goes, people are self-aware. What kind of person you are, not only do you know it yourself, but others will also know it very well. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, what matters is the courage to admit your mistakes and find ways to make up for them. But ancient officials like Hong Qiwei did not even have the courage to admit their mistakes, and dared to attribute their mistakes to other aspects, hoping to wash themselves white after death. The act is shameful enough, and it is really no wonder that archaeologists can't help but scold him.
