Shaanxi has always been a high-incidence area for monuments, especially in the Xi'an area, known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, where hundreds of ancient ruins have been found. In the late 1960s, a peculiar land in Fengxiang County, Baoji attracted the attention of local archaeologists. The land is flat, but there are almost no plants on it. This land is the No. 1 Tomb of The Duke of Qin, located in Nanzhi Village, Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province, and is the largest tomb excavated in the pre-Qin period. A total of 247 tomb robbery caves have been found in the tomb, but more than 3,500 artifacts have been unearthed.
The earliest tomb excavation is the highest level of "yellow intestine inscription" in China. This large tomb was first excavated from the highest level of "yellow intestine inscription" tomb in China; this large tomb, hundreds of accompanying burials were buried here. The so-called policy has countermeasures, the tomb owner may only repair the anti-theft tomb facilities in the tomb once in his life, but others do not know how many tombs have been studied, so the editor who read a lot of this subject found that no matter what kind of anti-theft tomb facilities are installed in your tomb, others can easily unlock the ancient tomb.
Therefore, the anti-theft tomb facilities of ordinary people are aimed at tombs, which is certainly not very effective. But there are exceptions, and some grave robbers really can't solve it. Taking Shaanxi as an example, the largest burial chamber in the pre-Qin period was found, in which there were as many as 247 tomb robbery caves, but more than 3500 cultural relics were still unearthed, here is the very famous Qinjing Cemetery, also known as the First Tomb of Qin Gong. The owner of the tomb is Qin Jinggong, the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang.
A long time ago, the living environment of the Qin people was not good, and after years of hard work, they could finally have a place in the Central Plains, and Qin Jinggong was one of the rulers, and he was the fourteenth generation of the rulers of the Qin State. As a Qin person, as the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Jinggong was also a very bold ruler. Qin Jinggong's ambition was to lead his people to live a prosperous life and build a strong state, which is evident in Qin Jinggong's grave. Qinjing Cemetery is a "medium" shaped tomb, it is the largest of all the "medium" shaped tombs excavated, known as "Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb".
Tomb No. 1 of Qin Gong is very large and deep, with a total length of 300 meters and a total area of 5334 square meters. We do not know how much manpower and material resources were spent on the grave in those days due to the underdevelopment of technology and the inferiority of the labor force. Jing cemetery is excavated in Fengxiang, Shaanxi, Shaanxi has been the cradle of Chinese civilization since ancient times, Xi'an is the ancient Chang'an, the capital of many dynasties, so as long as you move a shovel here, there is a great opportunity to shovel out precious cultural relics.
The most precious tomb buried here is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but it has been difficult to excavate for thousands of years, so Shaanxi sent many archaeological teams to visit the remains of qin shi huang mausoleum. Feng Xiang was also assigned to such an archaeological team, although the group did not enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin in the end, but they also made a surprising discovery, which was the Qin King's Mausoleum. At that time, the archaeological team was wandering around Fengxiang. When they listened to the local villagers chatting, they noticed a strange phenomenon: there was a piece of land that seemed to have bad feng shui.
Whether it's a good year or a bad year, no matter what crops are planted, farmers basically don't reap the harvest. It is not only the largest pre-Qin tomb in China, but also the most martyrdom tomb in China since the Western Zhou Dynasty. In addition, the earliest tombstones, the earliest stone bells and inscriptions in the history of Chinese tombs have been found, as well as the physical objects of the first set of emperor funeral rites in Chinese history, "Yellow Intestine Inscription". The first tomb of the Duke of Qin has been excavated for ten years since 1976. In 1986, archaeologists finally opened the coffin, but to everyone's great disappointment, there were 247 stolen holes.
The experts eventually decided to carry out a rescue excavation of the tomb, which proved that their decision was correct. This excavation led them to discover the earliest tomb of China's kings, which was not only looted by the stolen tombs, but also left more than 3,000 precious sacrifice rituals, bronzes and other cultural relics in China's Spring and Autumn War. The historical study of the Republican period provides an excellent material basis. However, these artifacts are not the focus. The most precious and valuable artifacts obtained in this excavation are actually the physical objects of the "yellow intestine inscription" in the tomb.
We're all familiar when these four words are picked separately, but when they come together, the new nouns can confuse many people. In fact, this is a valuable tool for ancient tombs. The so-called "yellow" is actually a cypress tree, and the "intestine" is the core of the cypress tree when it saws off its skin. "Title" refers to two protruding falcons, and "together" means to combine things together. The emperor's tomb was stolen, which was very common. Tomb No. 1 of Qin Gong cannot avoid the fate of theft, but even so, a large number of precious cultural relics have been excavated from the tomb, and according to statistics, the total number of cultural relics exceeds 3,000.
These cultural relics are very exquisite, and the level of craftsmanship is also very superb, which allows us to see the wisdom of the Qin people again. In the tomb, many carved stone rocks were also found, of which the largest inscription was more than 290 words, and the font was seal book. On the stone rock of this inscription, there can be such a passage: ''The Son of Heaven is happy, Gong Huan is the heir',' 'Gao Yang has a spirit, and the four sides are based on the nai'.' We all know that one of the Five Emperors was named Gao Yang, who was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, so with this record, there is no doubt about the status of the Qin people in China.
The scale of the tomb is too grand, the excavation of the entire tomb has been carried out for ten years, after the excavation of the tomb owner's coffin, the scale of the main tomb is the most magnificent ever, although there were hundreds of tomb robbers during the excavation, we still excavated more than 3,000 cultural relics from the tomb, mainly gold, silver, jade and a large number of stone tools, are very precious cultural relics, so the size of the tomb shocked everyone.
