For example, the largest ancient tomb ever discovered in Western Shaanxi is also the tomb that has been stolen the most.
There are more than 200 robbery holes in this ancient tomb.
Of course, even if this place was robbed and excavated, it would still be very meaningful, because the tomb's decree confirmed that the Qin people indeed belonged to China.
If it were now, you would say that the people of Qin might not belong to the Chinese civilization family, many people would think it is ridiculous.
However, before there were large-scale archaeological discoveries, this theory was still very popular, because the Qin people had lived in the northwest for generations, far away from the Central Plains.
Our country is a multi-ethnic country and has been so since ancient times.
When the Han civilization in China just emerged, there were many nomadic peoples in the surrounding areas.
Later, long-term wars and integration began between the Han people in the Central Plains and some surrounding nomadic peoples.
After entering the Zhou Dynasty, ethnic minorities in border areas gradually grew and often invaded the borders.
In the northwest area, there are nomadic groups such as the Quanrong and Qiang.
In fact, there has always been controversy over whether the Qin people who lived in the northwest border area during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were from the Chinese nation or whether they originated from the northwest nomadic people.
For many years, our country's archaeological team has been looking for answers.
A tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period discovered in Western Shaanxi contains a eucalyptus.
This tomb is located in Fengxiang County, Western Shaanxi Province. The owner of the tomb is Qin Jinggong, the king of Qin.
He was the fourteenth king of the Qin Kingdom, and his tomb is called Qin Gong Tomb No. 1 by archaeologists.
Qin Gong Tomb No. 1 has a total area of more than 5,000 square meters. It is the largest ancient tomb excavated so far in my country, and many cultural relics have been unearthed.

The most valuable among them is the stone chime made of bluestone, which symbolizes the royal power of the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period.
There were not just a few stone chimes unearthed in Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb, but a complete set of stone chimes with beautiful scales.
There is a text engraved on it: "The emperor is happy, Gong Huan is his heir, the high sun has spirit, and the naeus is everywhere."
The "Gao Yang" in this text refers to the ancient emperor Gao Yang, who was also Zhuanxu among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He was once the leader of the Chinese civilization in the Central Plains.
At the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, the earliest slavery dynasty in ancient my country, Boyi, a Qin man, was given the surname Ying for his merits in helping Dayu to control floods;
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the generals Fei Lian and Eilai were the ancestors of the Qin people.
Their descendants, the Ying tribe, were forced to move to the northwest to raise horses for the Emperor of Zhou after the dynasty changed.
After that, the Qin people took root in the northwest area and evolved into the Qin tribe and the Qin Kingdom.
The above is recorded in ancient history books. The reason why the origin of the Qin people is controversial is because the civilization of the Qin people was relatively backward compared to the vassal states in the Central Plains, and it was remote from the northwest.
However, the words on the stone chime of Qin Gong No. 1’s tomb prove that the Qin people originated after Zhuan Xu.
Another stone chime unearthed was engraved with the words "I, Qin Xia, have a long life, and wish Qin Jixian a prosperous life".
The meaning of this sentence is that I, the King of Qin, pray that our Chinese dynasty will live long and the Qin State will be blessed and healthy. It can be seen that the King of Qin believes that Qin is a part of China and a descendant of Yan and Huang.
There are 186 people buried in Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb, which is the most during the Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, the burial tradition of sacrifice was only practiced by the Song and Qin countries. The royal families of the Song Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty had the same origin, and inherited the burial tradition of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
The Qin State also promoted sacrificial burial, which was obviously an inheritance of Chinese tradition.
Through archaeological work, it was discovered that there were traces of tomb robbery in Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb, with as many as 246 robbery holes.
Among them, the largest one is actually 19 meters long and 40 centimeters in diameter, which leads directly to the main tomb chamber.
Tomb robbing activities began in the Spring and Autumn Period and lasted until the Song Dynasty. Due to the frequent visits by tomb robbers, the tomb robbing activities continued.
The grave goods in the main chamber of Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb and even the tomb owner's body have disappeared. This is really a huge regret.
Although many precious cultural relics from Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb have been lost, the fact that the Qin people originated from China has been strongly confirmed, and it can be regarded as realizing its own historical value!
Now Chen Wenzhe should thank these tomb robbers. Without them, where would he have obtained these tattered but very valuable cultural relics in a private museum?
There are dragons from eight thousand years ago, jade dragons from five to six thousand years ago, and pottery pots with dragon patterns from more than three thousand years ago.
These antiques that have gone through the years certainly don’t look very good.
However, it is they that connect Chinese civilization.
Unfortunately, his museum is still open for a short period of time, so even if Chen Wenzhe has money, he can't buy many things.
"Give me some more time, and I will definitely be able to buy more meaningful treasures. I have opened up the channels in Shuchuan, and I have bought two good things recently. Boss, do you want to take a look?"
There are only about a dozen items in the Dragon Court. You can just walk around and see them all.
Realizing that Chen Wenzhe still had some regrets, Li Jinli immediately understood what he was thinking.
"The cultural relics over there in Sichuan?" Chen Wenzhe became curious.
After all, he had just seen a lot of bronzes in Sanxingdui, and he was really interested in the antiques in Sichuan.
"Yes, there are really three pieces, two ancient pieces of Ge, and the other one seems to be a fragment from a stone tablet."
With that said, Li Jinli led everyone to the elevator door.
The group went directly to the top floor without stopping.
This building only has nine floors in total, mainly because the area of each floor is relatively large.
After all, it is more than fifty meters vertically and horizontally, which means that the area of each floor reaches more than 2,500 square meters.
Including the two underground floors, the total area exceeds 30,000 square meters.
Arriving on the top floor, Li Jinli's office is here.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe must have an office here, but he probably doesn't come here all year round.
Therefore, the main office staff here is still Li Jinli.
When I came to the office and sat down, the secretary served tea.
While everyone was drinking tea, they looked at the two wooden boxes that Li Jinli placed on the table.
The wooden boxes are not big, but they are very delicate. The owner is very interested in the contents inside.
Opening one of them revealed the dark remains of two weapons.
This is said to be a Ge, but to be more precise, it should be something like an arrow.
"Is this Shu Ge?"
Even Li Jinli said it was Ge, so it was easier for Chen Wenzhe to identify it.
In particular, Chen Wenzhe also saw fish-like lines on it. This seemed to be the totem of the ancient Shu Kingdom?
Look at the other arrow, there is also a picture on it, it looks like a bird.
Although his memory is not very clear, Chen Wenzhe still knows that this seems to be the totem of the ancient Shu Kingdom!
He was certain of this, because many modern research documents had analyzed the customs of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
"Yes, there are two weapon fragments. I asked someone to identify them and said they were Shu Ge. In addition, we also received a large number of dragon bones!"
