The "Imperial Capital Chapter" once said: "The reputation of the crown is universal, and the cultural relics are like Zhaohui." "For the study of Chinese social history, cultural relics have played an important role in it, and with the help of relevant experts, many historical mysteries have been solved in the process of archaeological excavations."
After having a certain understanding of Chinese history, it will be found that in ancient society, there were countless dynastic changes, and in the stages of development of different dynasties, Chinese society also had completely different environments and backgrounds. Based on the influence of this situation, if you want to understand the history of the entire ancient Chinese society, you must understand the different characteristics of each dynasty.
As we all know, the ancients attached great importance to their own posthumous affairs, and within their tombs, there will be many. A funerary object used to record identity and manifest status. Once, in order to study the history of the Western Han Dynasty, relevant experts also conducted archaeology on an ancient tomb. It is reported that after the opening of this ancient tomb, the entire burial chamber was full of golden light, and many experts also excitedly said that they had finally found it! So, who is the owner of this Ancient Tomb of the Western Han Dynasty? What are the objects that the experts are looking for?
In the early 1980s, infrastructure work was underway at a construction site in Guangzhou, and while workers were working on excavators to level Xianggang Mountain, several ancient tombs were excavated. Seeing this situation, the workers immediately reported the matter to the cultural relics department, and the relevant experts also rushed to the construction site to carry out rescue excavations of the ancient tomb.
According to relevant experts, the scale of these tombs is relatively small, not only that, in the early years, many tombs were also looted by tomb robbers, which also makes everyone not have any expectations for this archaeological excavation.
However, just after the experts finished the archaeological excavations and the workers continued to work, they found that there were still some tombs in the deep soil layer. At that time, after the experts came to the scene and carried out the corresponding clean-up and exploration, it was found that this large tomb should be a noble tomb from before the Han Dynasty, and this will also provide great help to the development of the archaeological cause in the entire Guangzhou area, after all, before this, the Guangzhou area has not found a tomb before the Han Dynasty, and the scale of the tomb is also a very rare existence.
At that time, after consulting the relevant historical materials, many experts said that this tomb was likely to be the tomb of the Nanyue king in the ancient society, and if the experts' speculation was confirmed, the gap in the study of mainland history about the South Vietnamese state would also be filled. Although the geographical location of the South Vietnamese state is far from the Central Plains, the various cultural customs in South Vietnam are also influenced by the Central Plains culture. Therefore, for the study of ancient history, the South Vietnamese kingdom also has a crucial significance.
Perhaps many people are not very familiar with the South Vietnamese state when mentioning it, but in fact, the South Vietnamese state was a major feudal regime that divided the Lingnan region of the mainland during the Western Han Dynasty. It is reported that Zhao Tuo, the founding monarch of the State of South Vietnam, had been arranging his own posthumous events long before his death, and in order to prevent his tomb from being invaded by tomb robbers, Zhao Tuo also searched everywhere and built dozens of suspicious tombs. Throughout ancient Chinese history, the tomb of the King of Nanyue has always been a huge mystery, and after the relevant experts have cleaned up and excavated the tomb found in the Gangshan area, it has been further determined that this should be the tomb of the real King of Nanyue.
After some preparatory work, the archaeological work on the tomb of the King of Nanyue officially began to advance, and it is reported that in the process of cleaning, the archaeologists found that there were many special organs in this tomb, and these organs also represented the highest level of construction in the society at that time.
After a period of clean-up and excavation, it was also found that the owner of this Tomb of the King of Nanyue was not the founding monarch of the State of South Vietnam, but the second generation of king Zhao Ming of South Vietnam. It is reported that there are many golden utensils in the interior of the tomb of the King of Nanyue, and based on the existence of a large number of gold utensils, after the tomb of the Tomb of the King of Nanyue is opened, its golden state has also shocked many experts.
In addition to many gold objects, experts excavated more than 10,000 precious cultural relics in this tomb of the South Vietnamese king, and after finding a blue glass piece, the experts were also very excited and said that they had finally found it. Originally, through the understanding of glass, it can be found that this substance was not common in ancient Chinese society, and the reason why there will be glass products in the tombs of the Nanyue kings is also because the South Vietnamese state at that time had already carried out maritime trade with other countries.
epilogue
For the historical research of the Western Han Dynasty on the mainland, the excavation of the tomb of the King of Nanyue has provided us with great help. Although in the eyes of many people, ancient times are synonymous with backwardness and decay, in fact, based on the influence of the special wisdom of the ancients, many ancient historical relics also have breathtaking and superb technology.
It is believed that under the influence of this archaeological activity, more and more scholars will participate in the research of the Western Han Dynasty, and with the gradual improvement of the ideological level of the mainland people, the protection and exploration of ancient tombs will also be supported by more people.
