Find gold and find mass graves

In the 70s of the last century, a lot of gold appeared inexplicably in the river of a small mountain village in Suichang, Zhejiang. This made the local villagers so happy that they stopped doing their farm work, and every family carried hemp bags to the river to fish for gold.

Such a big move naturally alarmed the local government. Due to its deep location in the mountains, the local economy is naturally underdeveloped, if you can really find out the source of the gold in the river, this small mountain village will not fly into the sky and become a phoenix?

As a result, the local government sent some staff to work with local villagers to find the source of the gold. They followed the river all the way upstream, and finally found the source of the river after walking a few kilometers.

There was a small hole in there, and water was bubbling out.

From the mountain wall at the entrance of the cave, some traces of artificial excavation can be vaguely seen. However, what came to mind next startled everyone present.

The cave was full of human bones.

Could it be that this is the tomb of a certain ancient great figure? It is not impossible that China has a vast territory and many ethnic groups, and the ancestors here have practiced mountain burials for thousands of 800 years?

If something so evil happens, the mining work can't be done in a short time, and if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be considered a destruction of cultural relics?

The government also urgently summoned a group of archaeological experts, and most of them believed that this cave must be the tomb of some rich family, and the large amount of gold that appeared in the river before was not due to the fact that the burial goods of the people were washed down by the current. However, as the exploration work progressed, the experts found that this did not appear to be a cemetery.

It used to be a mountain of gold and silver

Faced with the hundreds of skulls in the cave in Zhejiang, the archaeologists were just as excited as if they had been beaten one by one, after all, this was a burial pit for hundreds of people, whether it was a rich squire or a local official, it was impossible to achieve this kind of rule.

However, as the remains of the ancestors were slightly reduced, archaeologists found that there were some golden things that were particularly eye-catching, and the color and gloss showed that these small fragments were gold ore.

The people who are stacked in the burial pit generally do not have a high status, and under normal circumstances, they will not give these martyrs "burial goods", and even if there are some things to serve people, so that they can serve the owner of the mausoleum in another world.

Because of this, it is generally impossible for such a thing as gold to appear in the burial pit, so is it possible that the mourners themselves brought it in? After all, it is all the money that they have worked hard to save, and it is not incomprehensible that they are unwilling to let go after death.

As the scope of exploration increased little by little, archaeologists found that these skeletons were too "rich" during their lifetimes.

In the cave of more than 160 square meters, there is a small pile of gold ore scattered and collected.

There is only one possibility left, there may be a gold mine nearby, and the miserable people who have been thrown here are all miners who have died in the process of mining.

Mining has always been a chore, landslides, water seepage, and even starvation to death are nothing new.

After the accumulation of this for a long time, I don't know how many lives of miserable people are hidden in the vast mountains.

With this general direction, it is much easier to trace the origins, and China has had a tradition of recording prophets since ancient times, and it is in these historical documents that the forgotten past is re-narrated.

It turns out that this cave full of white bones is the Suichang Gold Mine, which is now known as the "No. 1 Gold Mine in the South of the Yangtze River".

Suichang this place is rich in gold and silver minerals since ancient times, in the Northern Song Dynasty Yuanfeng years, it became the official mine organized by the government, and when Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, it has become the largest mining and silver producing area in the country.

The pit becomes a park

Gold has long been a general equivalent for market circulation, and after entering civilized society, it has become a strategic reserve for all countries.

Although there is no longer any need for the Suichang gold mine to continue mining, the stories that have happened here for thousands of years still have some value for modern people.

Making the best use of things has always been the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and technicians have repaired and strengthened the mines dug out of different dynasties and different historical periods, and then equipped with various lights and hardware facilities to gradually form a unique pit park.

When visitors walk through the mines, there may really be a moment when they can resonate with the spirits of thousands of years ago.

Now we have fiberglass, cement nets, and beams supported by reinforced concrete structures, how did the ancients ensure that the holes carved out of the mountain rock did not collapse? The trees that had grown for a hundred years were cut off at the waist, and they had to support this place for hundreds of years.

At that time, people didn't do any overall planning, nor did they study any structural mechanics, they dug up the veins wherever they went, twisting and turning, walking in them, never knowing where to turn the next bend.
