I have long heard that there is a Han tomb in the Changqing District not far from Jinan, and the Han tomb is located in a mountain village with a particularly unique place name and easy to make people think of - Shuangniushan Village, which is a famous ancient village and wants to visit. On the first weekend after the eleventh long holiday this year, I was finally able to make the trip, but I had a heart.
Changqing Shuanglushan Village is not too far from the straight-line distance of Jinan City, but it is also quite difficult, taking the highway, crossing the provincial road, passing through the county road, the rural road, especially the last 5 kilometers of the rural dirt road, the road conditions are very bad, the shell craters are one after another, the height is uneven, and the vehicle passes through the dust, which increases the driving difficulty. Fortunately, there is "all-purpose" AutoNavi that can take you to your destination accurately.
Shuangniushan Village is located on both sides of the country road, and the houses on both sides are new and bright, and there are no traces of the ancient village, and I even wonder if I have gone to the wrong place. On the sparsely populated street, we finally met two enthusiastic villagers who enthusiastically guided us in the right direction.
Changqing Shuang rushan Han tomb site is located in the west of the shuangniushan village in the mound, not I imagined the double milk shape of the hill, and later learned that the double milk shape of the double milk mountain did exist, the elderly in the village have seen and is their childhood activity "paradise", only later a large number of high-quality stones in the mountain, only to almost razed the double milk mountain to the ground, only to become today's appearance. Everything has both positive and negative results, and it is precisely because of the mining of stone from the mountain that this Han tomb was discovered. Because other Han tombs have been discovered one after another, this Han tomb is called Tomb No. 1.
Tomb No. 1 of the Changqing Shuang rushan Han Tomb is the tomb of the Northern King of Hanji. The tomb of the King of Jibei is also known as the "Tomb of the Han of Shuangniu Mountain" because it is located on Shuangniu Mountain. According to historical records and my personal visual inspection, the tomb is located on the top of the double breast mountain, which is a mausoleum and is chiseled into a cave. Tomb No. 1 south facing north, the tomb chamber, tomb passage are equipped with a two-story platform, shallow outside and deep inside, large and small outside, in the shape of "A", the total length of the tomb is 60 meters, the deepest 18 meters, the area is 840 square meters, the bottom is the slope of the north high and the south is low, the total area of the tomb is more than 600 square meters, and the total depth is 22 meters. All you can see is a completely exposed "t" shaped stone pit, but you can still see the momentum of the past and the grandeur of the building. In the course of the viewing, I have been discussing with my travel companions how such magnificent works were accomplished with rudimentary tools more than two thousand years ago, and in the end I have not found the answer.
The excavation of the Tomb of Shuangrushan Han was completed in 1995-1996. It is the first excavation of the tombs of the princes of the Western Han Dynasty in Jinan, and has also been rated as one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in the country. In 2001, it was rated as a national cultural relics protection unit.
In general, the tomb of the Northern King of Hanji is an extremely rare tomb of the King of the Han Dynasty in China with a large scale and peculiar shape, so that the cultural relics in it can be preserved intact. According to the analysis of archaeologists, the owner of the tomb is Liu Kuan, the last king of the Western Han Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom of Ji during the last years of the Western Han Dynasty.
Regarding the completion time of this Han tomb, it is believed that it was built in the fourth year of the Western Han Dynasty (97 BC), because Liu Kuan took the throne in this year and officially became the king of Jibei, and the Han Dynasty had the custom of building his mausoleum when the emperor took the throne. However, Liu Kuan reigned for only 11 years, and in 87 BC, because of his adultery with his father Liu Hu's queen and concubines, his disobedience to human morality, and the use of ancestors to impose a curse on Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han wanted to send him to the capital for questioning, Liu Kuan committed suicide after hearing the news, and later the State of Northern Ji was abolished and replaced by Bei'an County, which belonged to Taishui County.
Although the construction of the tomb of the King of Jibei took eleven years, the final project was not completed, including the tomb passage, drainage system, etc. were not completed, and the tomb door was also temporarily built with stone blocks, and Liu Kuan was hastily buried. Because Liu Kuan committed suicide for the crime, his tomb did not use the yellow intestine inscription popular in the royal family, and the funeral items lacked jade clothes and seals, and rarely used jade. However, this does not affect the high academic value of the tomb of the King of Jibei for the study of the Han Dynasty mausoleum system and the history of the county.
The tomb of the King of Han benefits from Shuangniushan, and the village of Shuangniushan benefits from the tomb of the King of Han. Shuangniushan Village is also a famous ancient village, with a history of hundreds of years, the ancient village is mainly distributed in the northeast of the Han Tomb, and there are still many stone houses and stone slab roads, as well as several ancient locust trees and ancient wells, all of which reveal a long history and rich cultural atmosphere, and are a very good place to linger.
