The tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang in the Western Han Dynasty has witnessed the long glory of Chinese history and attracted countless eyes because of its mystery. Unfortunately, this ancient tomb has experienced the pain of tomb robbery, but fortunately, some precious cultural relics have been preserved, providing key clues for the study of the life and cultural characteristics of the Han Dynasty aristocracy. This article will focus on the various rare treasures unearthed in this ancient tomb, and guide you to feel the deep charm of the long history.
Thrilling grave robberyOn March 23, 2011, the Nanchang Cultural Relics Bureau confirmed that the ancient tomb of Dundunshan in Guanxi Village had been excavated. Experts quickly arrived at the scene of the crime and detected that the hole was more than 14.8 meters deep and the coffin inside the tomb was damaged. If it is not stopped in time, this precious tomb heritage may be completely destroyed. This deplorable incident has prompted us to deepen our understanding of the environment in which historical and cultural treasures are located and to protect them.
Yang Jun, the leader of the expedition team, still remembers the incident vividly, lamenting that the intact preservation of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang is really a "great luck in misfortune", and the illegal excavation of the tomb robbers is 14.8 meters underground, which is obviously a vicious act that has been carefully planned and organized. The reason why they were able to accurately locate the tomb was precisely due to the unique architectural layout of the tomb of the Marquis of Haidu, where the main coffin was not centered, but moved to the east side, which was closely related to the living habits of the Han Dynasty. It was this ingenious arrangement that allowed the tomb of the Marquis of Haidun to escape.
Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the son of Liu Ji, first attacked the Marquis of Haiyang and was given 4,000 households. After twists and turns, it has been passed down to future generations because of its outstanding contributions. The discovery of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang has aroused widespread attention in the Chinese archaeological community, and an in-depth exploration has been carried out on this important historical figure.
Rich and precious excavated cultural relicsThere are many relics unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, including gold and silver kettles, bronzes and bamboo slips, among which the gold objects have attracted much attention. Gold ornaments such as gold cakes, horseshoe gold, and lintoe gold are extremely pure and delicately shaped, which can be called treasures. According to archaeologists, the first time we saw these gold objects, they looked like underground gem vaults under the lights. This batch of gold artifacts reveals the extravagant life style of Liu He, the Marquis of Haiding, and also highlights the noble status and great wealth of the Han Dynasty liehous.
In addition to the precious gold and silver artifacts, the tomb also contains a wealth of research value, especially the jade seals in it, which provide a key clue to the historical and social environment. The rich cultural relics unearthed from the tomb not only reveal the lifestyle and cultural characteristics of the Han Dynasty liehous, but also resemble a vivid historical scroll.
Echoes of history After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the tomb of Liu He, Marquis of Haiding, was once again displayed in front of the world, which sparked heated discussions. Its burial chamber is well-preserved, the layout is clear at a glance, and there are many exquisite cultural relics carved, which greatly facilitates the process of historical research. This archaeological discovery is like a window into the ancient Han Dynasty, leading us to explore that magical era.
