In 2003, the Tianzi Tomb in The Village of Dongyang in Tu tu attracted the attention of experts.
From the appearance point of view, tianzi tomb is shaped like a large mound, with a ten-mile long mountain in the north and a Guxi River in the south.
The scenery here is pleasant, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, which is very much in line with the excellent feng shui treasure land in the ancient Chinese feng shui theory!
Sure enough, the underground here can be described as a hidden mystery! The raised mound is most likely the sealing soil of a large tomb!
And when Tucha is the land of Gyeonggi in ancient Jinling, the geographical location is very important!
From this point of view, it is possible that the tomb of the Heavenly Son is buried with a Heavenly Son of the Six Dynasties period!
Due to the limited archaeological technology and protection means of that year, experts abandoned the excavation plan for tianzi's tomb.
Until 2015, due to the construction and development of the countryside, the excavation of Tianzi's tomb had to be put on the agenda.
Soon, the excavations were officially underway.
The mound on tianzi's tomb is about 20 meters long, about 13 meters wide and 10 meters high, covering an area of about 200 square meters.
But in actual excavations, the exact size of the tomb still surprised experts.
After more than a month of unremitting cleaning, a piece of porcelain was finally revealed. This is an important basis for determining the age of the tomb. To know the porcelain of different ages and different regions, there are different production styles.
The porcelain lantern that appears in Tianzi's tomb is a typical Tang Dynasty artifact. At this point, the experts' previous speculations have been questioned.
However, the appearance of another burial object has plunged the specific age of the tomb into a fog.
Unearthed this time is a three-legged celadon bottle from eastern Wu during the Six Dynasties and Three Kingdoms period.
The celadon bottle is full of workers inside and out, and is made by the earliest underglaze color process in China.
At the bottom of the porcelain bottle is a dancing fairy, flanked by a bird and a tengu.
The three legs of the porcelain bottle are close to the bottom of the bottle, and the ring is auxiliary to the head, and the shape is quite solemn.
This three-legged figure seems to prove the identity of the tomb owner of the Six Dynasties nobles, thinking that back then, the glaze color was a luxury special for the nobles of the Six Dynasties!
A large number of small gold and silverware scattered in the soil cover ancient gold-making techniques such as filigree and gold leaf beads, and the workmanship is very exquisite.
One of the most unique festivals, the Golden Feather Man, can be described as the key to breaking the mystery!
During the Three Kingdoms period, Taoism was very popular in the Jiankang area, and the Yu people came from the legend of Taoism.
According to legend, The Feather Man is a god with wings on his back and can fly. They hold the knot and can go beyond the soul of the deceased.
A Six Dynasties celadon plate unearthed in 1989 has the image of a feather man painted on the pot.
This kind of feather was once popular from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Six Dynasties period, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was very rare.
It seems that the expert's previous speculation is not wrong, this is the tomb of the nobles of the Six Dynasties.
And that Tang Dynasty lamp is likely to come from a group of mad Tang Dynasty tomb robbers, which is the lighting tool they left behind. But why are there so many tiny gold and silver artifacts in the tomb?
If the thieves were left behind, why were they in such a hurry?
Experts have speculated that these small gold and silverware are likely to be part of a large piece of gold and silverware.
After more than a year of unremitting cleaning, the full picture of this tomb is finally revealed in front of future generations!
This is a brick chamber tomb with a top structure, consisting of a front and rear burial chambers and an amphora chamber.
The total length of the tomb is 33 meters, the width is about 13 meters, and there are two sloped burial passages that symbolize noble status.
At the front of the burial chamber there are two rectangular altars made of square bricks, with an ear chamber on each side.
The coffin and remains of the owner of the tomb in the back room of the tomb have long since disappeared.
Brick chamber tombs became popular since the middle of the Western Han Dynasty and gradually became the main form of burial in the Western Han Dynasty.
The Four Corners Ofe Ticket Vault Brick Chamber Tomb appeared later, mainly popular during the Three Kingdoms period.
However, because of its unique way of construction, it is deeply loved by dignitaries and dignitaries.
The construction of this tomb is a 1/4 arc in each of the four corners, and then closed by the middle part to form a circular dome.
The construction of the burial chamber in this way can make the tomb appear large and deep, and it is also wider, very strong and beautiful.
The tomb form of Tianzi Tomb is very close to the tomb of Zhu Ran of Sima Zuo of Eastern Wu, and the pattern of Yong'an 4 years has also been found on the tomb bricks.
Yong'an is the era name of Sun Wujing Emperor, and the fourth year of Yong'an is 261 AD, and it seems that the owner of the tomb is undoubtedly the Eastern Wu nobles.
A total of 181 exquisite burial items have been unearthed in the Tomb of Tianzi, which are not only exquisitely crafted, but also have high research value.
Among them, the finely crafted gold porcelain pottery without exception does not show the identity and prominent status of the royal family of the tomb owner.
The beauty of the shape of the gold and the exquisite skill of the gold are all impressive.
One of them is a filigree golden dragon, with a head length of 5 centimeters, and the dragon's head is slightly raised, and the momentum is extraordinary.
Although gold and silver artifacts are very rare, the porcelain in the tomb that does not look amazing is the important clue to truly judge the identity of the owner of the tomb!
In one go, the tomb unearthed 9 pieces of pottery with very similar sizes and forms, all gray and black, with their ears erect.
Although there are no ornaments on the whole body, they are better than the square of the shape, which is quite ancient.
There are also 8 open pottery in the soil, and they are tied around the neck and bulging abdomen. The shape is very rustic.
Don't think they're just ordinary porcelain, these open porcelain are important ceremonial vessels used during sacrifices!
They are not actually called open pottery, their scientific name is called Gui!
Under this seemingly ordinary combination of artifacts, it is extremely unusual!
The Nine Ding Eight Ghosts were a symbol of the lofty status of Zhou Tianzi during the distant Western Zhou Dynasty!
Under the strict legislative system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, people used different numbers of bronze ceremonial vessels to sacrifice according to different status levels, and although the ceremonies collapsed and the Zhou Tianzi was useless since the Spring and Autumn Period, people still used pottery instead of bronze to sacrifice heaven and earth.
It can be seen that although the historical era has changed, the system of ceremonial instruments that has been passed down from generation to generation is still continued in the land of China and has never been broken.
Judging from the excavated artifacts, the Heavenly Son was indeed buried in the tomb of the Heavenly Son! And could this Heavenly Son be the Jing Emperor of Eastern Wu?
Consulting historical materials, experts found that jiajing's ten years of revision of the "Taiping Fu Zhi" had a detailed description of the tomb of Emperor Wu Jing.
The Tomb of Emperor Jing was in a place called Dongyang in Dangtu County. It seems that what is buried in the grave of this Heavenly Son may really be Sun Xiu!
As we all know, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many talents, but the Wu Jing Emperor Sun Xiu was not well known.
It is recorded in the Biography of Wu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that in 252 AD, Sun Quan, the founding emperor of the State of Wu, fell ill and died.
Sun Liang, who was only 10 years old at the time, succeeded to the throne as emperor, and only six years later, Sun Liang was deposed and poisoned. His brother Sun Xiu succeeded to the throne and was known as Emperor Jing of Wu. In order to better determine the identity of the owner of the tomb, Tianzi, the experts carried out a very careful search in the tomb.
Soon the mystery appeared, the profile layer and sealing soil of the tomb were extremely unusual, which was a major discovery!
This shows that the tomb passage and the sealed door in the tomb of Tianzi have been artificially opened.
Combined with historical records, experts learned that only one year after Sun Xiu's death, his empress Zhu Shi also died, and the two were buried together in the tomb. This account is completely consistent with the actual discovery! Traces of secondary tombs were also found in the tomb!
In 264, sun Xiu, who was only 30 years old, died suddenly, and his younger brother Sun Hao, 23, ascended the throne as emperor, known as emperor Wu, because of Sun Hao's brutal dictatorship, he forced his sister-in-law Lady Zhu to die a year after Emperor Jing's death.
It is a pity that the husband and wife who are young and deeply in love have slept together in the same cave for only one year, and have kept each other for generations.
Compared with the tragic fate of Sun Hao who was eventually humiliated by Sima Shi and then died at the hands of others, Sun Xiu and his wife would probably be glad of their early death. Although everyone has long believed that the owner of the tomb is Sun Xiu and his wife, this speculation is inconclusive due to the lack of physical support. But the final verdict was hidden in a seemingly ordinary piece of patent leather after the decay of the burial lacquerware! This is a patent leather fragment.
Patent leather with exciting mutilated words!
Its clear account reveals the true owner of this artifact!
The owner of the tomb should be an Empress of Eastern Wu! Combined with the time deduction, the lacquerware should be the personal utensils used by the queen in that year!
Little by little, the cultural relics coincide with the documents, and the truth of history is gradually restored. The owners of the tomb were indeed Sun Xiu and his wife.
This tomb is not called The Great Tomb of Dangtu in history, to be precise, it is the Dingling Tomb of Eastern Wu!
It is a pity that the tomb of Dangtu also has a wide collection of treasures, carving dragons and carving phoenixes, which is extremely luxurious.
But over the millennia, it has been stolen several times and the treasure is gone.
But thankfully, the traces left in the tomb still record the ingenious skills and exciting ideas of the ancient Chinese craftsmen!
Well, that's the end of the show! Like friends a little bit of attention, we will see you next issue
