The two provinces of Henan and Hebei are the birthplace of the culture of the Central Plains, and in ancient times, most of Hebei was called Youzhou. As early as the Shang Dynasty, 13 kings made Xingtai, Hebei as their capital, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, Handan, the capital of the Zhao state, was also in Hebei.
Although no state has ever established a capital since the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, Hebei has always been an important part of the economy and politics of the Central Plains. Such a cultural heritage has also spawned a lot of ancient city buildings, after all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains that has been passed down since ancient times.
In 1982, Uncle Liu in Wei County, Hebei Province, was preparing to build a house for his soon-to-be-married son, and the house had been built for three days and had already made a prototype. When he started shoveling with a shovel, he suddenly shoveled a hard object. Uncle Liu squatted down and groped slowly, faintly seeing a layer of gray, brick-like things.
Uncle Liu wondered, how could there be bricks underground? Could it be that God knew he was going to build a house and arranged a bunch of bricks to save himself some money. While thinking, he continued to dig, and directly picked out a layer of gray bricks, and people from the same village passed by, looked at it, and said to Uncle Liu: "Old Liu, which is a heavenly brick for you?" You have dug up the ancient tomb, or report it. ”
As soon as the staff of the Wei County Museum heard the news, they immediately rushed with the archaeological team to the place where Uncle Liu built a new house. They first carried out a strict probe, and after a while, they said to Uncle Liu: "Uncle, your room will not be built for a while, we will disassemble this place." "It turned out that the gray bricks under Uncle Liu's new house were actually a brick tomb.
Because Uncle Liu wants to build a house, this ancient tomb will have to be salvaged and excavated, otherwise it will be a head for Uncle Liu's son to live. Soon, the appearance of the brick tomb saw the light, and the tomb door was only half a meter, so the excavation team could only squat or lie on their stomachs to enter the tomb door, and came to the main field - the tomb chamber after a 0.8-meter passage.
The decorations in the main chamber are very simple, with a coffin bed 1.7 meters wide and 1.2 meters wide in the west part. In the southeast there is a plank, on which is the only funerary object, only a very small part. In fact, as soon as the morning at the tomb door, the archaeological team knew that this ancient tomb excavation would not make too major discoveries, and sure enough, what was found was only a very ordinary burial object.
There were two bones in the coffin bed, which looked like they should be a couple, and there were many crafts around them, including copper belts, bone combs, small copper rings and other objects. On the board, they finally found something more interesting. A trumpet-shaped phoenix jug became the biggest gain of the archaeological team's excavation. Because of the exquisite shape, the craftsmanship was also discovered for the first time in China at that time.
Through this excavation, archaeologists deduced that the tomb should be a product of the Tang Dynasty, and some of the pottery made up for the half-knowledge of the Tang pottery in China, and with the template, the pottery of the Tang Dynasty was no longer so mysterious.
