Do farm work in your own fields
I didn't think about it, but I dug up the artifacts
Today Xiaobian will tell you about it
Xu Zhichang, a villager in Datianba Village, Jiqing Town, Zhongjiang County
Dig out the cultural relics of the Yuan Dynasty
Bowls and farm tools were dug into the fields
The old man's family took the initiative to hand over to the state
In the past two days, in Datianba Village, Jiqing Town, Zhongjiang County, many villagers are still talking about digging up cultural relics.
After 9 a.m. on April 22, Xu Zhichang, a villager in the village, took a steel shovel and dug a pit in a nearby field to prepare to build a shelf to plant bitter melons. A steel braze went down, and there was a muffled sound of "bang", as if it had stabbed a hard object. "Did you dig a stone?" Xu Zhichang, who is in his 60s, muttered as he cut through the dirt.
"What was dug up was two iron pots that were held together, with multiple bowls in them." Xu Zhichang recalled that when the soil was cut open, something like an iron pot was revealed, and a bowl and agricultural tools were found inside the pot.
According to Ms. Liu, the daughter-in-law of Xu Zhichang, several generations of people cultivating the land have not found anything. Seeing the excavated bowls, farm tools, and iron pots, Ms. Liu hurriedly dialed 110 to call the police for help. "Put it at home, it's just an ordinary bowl, it doesn't make sense." Ms. Liu admitted that she didn't think about anything at that time, and chose to call the police for the first time, "handing things over to the state and making it produce greater value." ”
Preliminary identification
The age of the cellar utensils is the Yuan Dynasty
On the same day, after the Cultural Relics Department of Zhongjiang County received a notice from the local public security department, the staff rushed to the scene to excavate.
When the staff arrived at the scene, the farmer had already opened the iron pot, which contained 15 cultural relics, including 12 bowls, 2 farm tools and iron pots. Except for the broken iron pot, other utensils are well preserved.
Tian Yue, director of the Zhongjiang Museum, said that after investigation, it was found that the burial method was an iron pot cellar, 0.8 meters deep from the surface, and the iron pot was filled with porcelain, and the rust of the iron pot was thick.
In the field, there are bowls and agricultural tools stored in the iron pot cellar, which are related to production and life, and in Tian Yue's view, the form of iron pot cellaring is not mysterious. She said that Qingbaijiang had also found iron pot cellars before. It is initially speculated that it was buried when fleeing in order to escape the chaos of war and the like, and dug up and reused for future returns.
Among the cellar artifacts found in this batch, a blue-glazed "Pisces Pattern" porcelain bowl is particularly exquisite. Tian Yue said that this kind of porcelain bowl has also been found in Zhongjiang before.
Later, after the preliminary appraisal of experts organized by the Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the era of the cellar artifacts was the Yuan Dynasty. Liu Zhangze, director of the Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, introduced that these cultural relics have important value for understanding and understanding the local production and life in the Yuan Dynasty.
The villagers' timely reporting and handing over of cultural relics has effectively protected the cultural relics. It is reported that in the next step, the local cultural relics department will reward Xu Zhichang. For this batch of cultural relics, after collation, it will be exhibited to the public at the Zhongjiang Museum.
