Jishui County, Jiangxi Province, is a cultural place, because since ancient times, the local has experienced a lot of development, so often can dig out a lot of useful things for historical research, and the local culture from ancient times, the learning atmosphere is also very good. In the 1990s, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway was being built, but they encountered a very troublesome problem, that is, there was a small mountain in the east direction of the county seat, there was almost no one in the peak, and there were many small hills on the mountain, so they could only be chiseled.

Chisel open

In the process, the construction team dug up many pottery and other antiquities here, so archaeologists arrived and carried out large-scale research and cleanup. It was found that this is actually a very large-scale burial chamber, with an area of more than 900 square meters, and the structure of the tomb is very rich, with doors, corridors, front rooms, boxes and so on. It is only because this tomb has experienced theft that only 1200 artifacts have been excavated, and judging from the structure of these antiquities and tombs, this should be a tomb of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms period.

Archaeologists have traveled all around to find out the details of the tomb, because this place is not a very rich place, why there is such a large-scale tomb here. After inquiring, I learned that there was a small village called Tanbu not far away, and the villagers said that their ancestors were Tanbu and that they had also served as officials in the imperial court.

For the records of Tan Bu, archaeologists did find a point in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! Tan Bu was Sun Quan's brother-in-law during the Three Kingdoms period, but the records do not indicate where he was buried after his death, so it remains to be studied who the owner of this tomb is, but what archaeologists do next has made a big mistake. In order to build the railway, archaeologists decided to demolish the tomb after discussion, and just as the demolition was about to begin, people found something strange about the tomb.

The bricks of this tomb did not have any connection, and they found that the construction of this tomb was very special. None of the bricks were made of cement. When archaeologists wanted to rebuild it, they found that it was not as simple as imagined, and no matter how it was done, it could not be restored to its original appearance. So this is a very regrettable thing in the history of archaeology, and it has also become a great regret for architectural research.
