introduction
With the continuous improvement of the level of archaeological technology in the mainland, more and more ancient tombs have entered the excavation stage today. Since most tombs have been built for many years, without the right technical support, hasty excavations will only damage their historical value.
Once, when the tomb of Zhao Kuangyin's seventh-generation grandson was discovered, archaeologists chose to open the coffin in the laboratory. So, what is so special about this tomb?
On May 3, 2016, a house renovation called Datu in Huangyan County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, was undergoing a house renovation, and in the process of construction, an ancient tomb unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone. After receiving the news, archaeologists quickly came to the scene to carry out rescue excavations of this ancient tomb, and after discovering the epitaph of the tomb, experts also determined that the owner of this ancient tomb was Zhao Bo in the Southern Song Dynasty

couple.
After the experts entered the burial chamber, they found that Zhao Bo
The tomb of his wife Li Shi has been destroyed by tomb robbers, but the tomb of Zhao Bopeng himself has been well preserved.
When the experts looked through the relevant historical materials, they found that Zhao Bopeng was the seventh generation grandson of Zhao Kuangyin. Friends who have a certain understanding of the culture of the Song Dynasty should know that in the society of the Song Dynasty, there was a habit of emphasizing literature over martial arts, so in the society at that time, the social status of the literati was relatively high.

He was a famous scholar in the society of the Song Dynasty, and his father was a county clerk in Huangyan County. In the historical records, the Zhejiang region at that time was the most developed place in the entire country's textile industry, so experts judged that in Zhao Bopeng's tomb, there must be some silk cultural relics.
In this case, in order to better protect the cultural relics, the experts decided to bring Zhao Bopeng's coffin to the laboratory to open.
Unlike other cultural relics, because silk textile items are more fragile, after thousands of years of wind and frost, if they are taken out hastily, they will cause irreversible damage. When the experts will be Zhao Bo

After the lab, it took three days just to disinfect the exterior. According to the experience of experts, the humidity of the remains and silk items in the coffin should be very large, so in order to protect the silk clothing that is about to be unearthed, the experts should also talk about adjusting the humidity in the laboratory. After the disinfection, the relevant experts also conducted a comprehensive scan of the entire coffin, so that in the process of opening the coffin, archaeologists can also excavate the silk relics more targetedly.
Throughout the process of opening the coffin, the task of archaeologists is very arduous, because all the silk costumes are firmly attached to the body of the remains, and it is still more laborious to remove them intact. After all the costumes are taken out, the cleaning of these cultural relics also requires certain special steps.
During the opening of the coffin at that time, it took a month to clean this content alone.
Not only that, but because the entire coffin opening process is irreversible, when the experts are working, many cameras are needed to record the matter.
After the end of the entire coffin opening process, a total of sixty-six pieces of silk fabric were cleared, because of its rich style and complete variety, and throughout the history of the archaeological community, the tomb of Zhao Bopeng was also known as the "Crown of Song Costume". In addition to the silk clothing, in the entire tomb, there are some precious historical relics such as jade and bronze, through this archaeological excavation, the mainland has also made a great breakthrough in the study of industrial productivity in the Southern Song Dynasty society.

From the experts to Zhao Bo
The degree of caution of the tomb can be seen in our right
In the process of historical research, there are many difficulties that need to be overcome
In order to better protect cultural relics, experts have also come up with many ways, believing that in the future society, with the continuous development of mainland science and technology, we can also have more advanced archaeological technology. At that time, the research and excavation of tombs on the mainland will become more smooth. Through the study of historical relics, we can also more comprehensively restore the original appearance of history.
