Foreword: In many parts of the mainland, the 70s and 80s of the last century were also an era when infrastructure construction was not very complete, and many areas at that time were collective labor. In some water-scarce areas, in order to allow crops to have a good harvest, some water channels will also be dug, which is also done so that crops can have a good harvest.
Dig a ditch to dig out the white bone
In a village in Inner Mongolia, there was a poor grain harvest due to lack of water. So the local farmers had to build the canal together, and it was 1975, and everyone was working together. In the process of continuous excavation, it is also dug out some "unbelievable" things. While digging up some places, the villagers found a pile of white bones.
After seeing these white bones, everyone decided to bury and bury the white bones, which can express everyone's awe and avoid the bones of these ancients from being nowhere to be placed. Because there are many film and television dramas in criminal investigation today, some people will also raise objections and feel that this situation should be called to the police. But in the living environment and conditions at that time, such an approach was commendable and a manifestation of kindness.
There are treasures under the white bones
After the bones were buried, the villagers continued to dig the canal, and in the process of excavation, they also found something new. In the lower part of the white bone that was previously excavated, the villagers found some gold jewelry, silver jewelry and other treasures, which in the view of the period when science was not very developed, and it was also a manifestation of their kindness to get rewards.
Several villagers dug up all these treasures and distributed them together, and after the digging of the canal, they also returned with all kinds of treasures. The village is not very large, and the villagers are very happy after getting the treasure, which also makes the news of the treasure go away.
This news also attracted the attention of the local cultural relics department, and the excavated bones and treasures showed that there were ancient tombs near the villagers digging canals. The cultural relics department also rushed to this place, sealed the vicinity, and began excavation work. During the excavation, experts also concluded that the white bones and treasures excavated by the villagers were indeed in the ancient tombs, because of the age, the white bones appeared in the soil above, and the treasures obtained by the villagers were the funerary products in the tombs.
Tang Dynasty Hu Shang Tomb
With the continuous excavation, experts have also carried out research on the tomb, and it can be judged from some cultural relics and treasures excavated that these are from the Tang Dynasty period, but the tomb is not the "original people" of the Tang Dynasty, but the big merchants from other countries. Judging from the delicacy of the cultural relics unearthed in the tomb and the materials used, the tomb was indeed a merchant at that time, because the national strength during the Tang Dynasty also allowed many merchants from other countries to do business here, so there will be the tomb of "Hu Shang".
This tomb has also unearthed a lot of exotic cultural relics, whether it is gold or silver, there is a very obvious exotic style. However, after excavation, experts also found that although there are a total of 2 tombs here, the number of funerary items is not very large. So in order to better study their tombs, the experts communicated with the villagers who received the treasure when they dug the canal, hoping that they could hand over the artifacts they had acquired earlier.
To sum up: through communication and popularization, the villagers also know the importance of these treasures, so they hand in the treasures one by one, of course, several people have also received corresponding rewards. The research value of these cultural relics is very high, and it also allows future generations to understand the trade during the Tang Dynasty and the manufacturing process of Persia and other countries at that time.
