"Xulou Han Tomb" is a han tomb site that exists in Xulou Village, Xinzhai Town, Yucheng City. On April 26, 2005, the Dezhou Municipal People's Government identified it as a cultural relics protection unit of Dezhou City, and the Yucheng City People's Government erected a monument to commemorate it. The inscription records that "Xulou Han Tomb" is located 50 meters east of Xulou Village, Xinzhai Town, and the tomb is turtle-back-shaped, with a diameter of about 40 meters, a height of 4 meters, and an area of about 2284.3 square meters. In the early years, it was partially exposed, brick, there were hundreds of pine trees on the tomb, there was a water canal 20 meters west of the tomb, the west of the canal was Xulou Village, and the other three sides were farmland. The structure of the tomb is unknown, and the tomb provides more detailed information for the study of the burial system and living conditions of the Han Dynasty.
For thousands of years, the "Tomb of Xu Louhan" has been draped in a mysterious veil, and I don't know where the sacred is buried here? Obscurely blessed the people of this party with peace and security, smooth and smooth. The "Xulou Han Tomb" has also brought historical civilization and development opportunities to Xulou people, created the local folk customs and the regional characteristics of the people, and nurtured generations of Xulou people.
The "Tomb of Xulou Han" also gives Many legendary stories to xulou people. To this day, the locals still talk about it. Due to the long time, the "Xulou Han Tomb" was not known to be the mausoleum of a prince and nobleman in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was interpreted as the "Divine Immortal Mansion", which was sacred and inviolable. It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Wang San in the neighboring village, who specialized in the business of stealing trees, and stole the large locust trees on the cemetery at night, and the result was that "stealing chickens does not become erosion of rice," and the locust tree fell down and killed himself. This incident caused great repercussions in the surrounding villages, believing that it was the immortal apparition of the cemetery to take revenge on Wang San. Since then, the people of Xulou Village have been even more convinced of the spirit of the cemetery, and the patriarchs of several large families have held a meeting and decided to build a temple on the cemetery and pray for the blessing of the gods. It is said that on the day of the completion of the great temple, a solemn memorial ceremony was also held, and people from four villages and eight villages came to join in the fun, the pine trees were hung with red cloth strips of blessing, the great temple was full of cigarette smoke, and the good men and women knelt down in turn to pray and pray to the gods for peace. Since then, the local gradually formed a custom, every year's major festivals, such as the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, March 3, September 9, July 15, the first fifteen and other important days, people will consciously come to burn incense on paper, and since then the incense has been continuous. Since then, the more it has become more and more mysterious, it has simply taken the "Han Tomb" as people's "spiritual totem".
In the Han Dynasty, due to the strong advocacy of the rulers, the Confucian concept of filial piety was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which had a profound and huge impact on the funeral customs at that time, and the thick burial custom prevailed, and after the Shang Zhou, there was a second peak of thick burial. At that time, from the emperor down to the common people, they all rushed to the front, poured out their material resources and financial resources, and buried them in a big way. Every year, one-third of the world's tribute is used to build imperial tombs, so the imperial tombs are all built in grand and luxurious, and the number of treasures buried with them makes future generations astonished; princes, powerful emperors, rich merchants, small and medium-sized landlords, etc., rely on financial resources, and their tombs often "accumulate soil like mountains, and trees into forests"; that is, the common people and remote corporals, all imitate, to show filial piety, to invite filial piety. The large number of large-scale and complex imperial tombs, large cliff tombs, "yellow intestine inscription" wooden tombs, and exquisitely decorated portrait stones and portrait brick tombs proves this; the burial items are even more exquisite and dizzying. For example, there are more than 2,000 pieces (sets) of jade, bronze, gold and silver ware unearthed from the Chu King's Mausoleum in Xuzhou Lion Mountain, and many of the funerary items are rare treasures and artistic treasures.
In addition to thick burials, the second feature of han dynasty funerary customs is that "things die as if they were alive", reflecting the concept of people's souls immortal at that time. In the type and structure of the tomb, try to imitate the living dwelling, there are front, middle, back and side rooms, ear rooms, respectively, coffins, daily necessities, carriages and horses used for "travel", etc., some also have kitchens, toilets. In terms of burial goods, we also try to do everything, including almost all the clothing, food, shelter, travel, and use of the living person. For example, food, such as wine, grain, fruit, poultry, fish, livestock, etc., is mostly made into cakes, rice and various dishes, with a wide variety of names, too many names; daily use has plates, beans, beans, wine pots, 奁, 甑, 鼎, case, ear cups, wine bottles, stirrups and so on. At that time, people believed that these magnificent burial chambers and rich burial items could ensure that they could be enjoyed in hades after death.
In the 1980s, archaeologists found an intact Han Dynasty tomb in Lion Mountain, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. After the excavation of archaeologists, this tomb is not only huge and imposing, but also unprecedented. As a result, experts speculate that the tomb is most likely the tomb of the princes of the Han Dynasty, and the cultural relics unearthed in the tomb confirm the experts' inference. More than 2,000 precious cultural relics of various kinds have been excavated from the tomb, many of which are the first time to be discovered in China. What makes the experts even more happy is that the tomb still has the bones of the tomb owner, and according to the location of the tomb, the expert infers that the tomb owner should be the tomb of the King of Chu.
After the examination of experts, the owner of the tomb was Liu Yin, the second king of Chu, who participated in quelling the rebellion of Zhulu and became the king of Chuyi. During the excavation process, experts found that the tomb had not yet been built, which can be seen that the tomb owner's reign was short and the death was relatively sudden. The Chu King's Mausoleum in Lion Mountain was rated as "the first of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China in 1995", and the golden jade clothes unearthed in the tomb were the best jade, the most jade pieces and the most exquisite craftsmanship among the jade clothes unearthed in China. The structure of the facilities in the tomb is complete, reproducing the luxurious life scenes of the western Chu and Han kings, and also confirming the funerary concept of "seeing death as life" prevalent in the Han Dynasty.
