The first thousand two hundred and eighty-four chapters
The tomb of King Zhou Ding was stolen in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. The front hall, second hall, and third hall had been destroyed long ago, but the ruins are still there.
The above-ground buildings in the tomb area no longer exist, but there are still underground palace buildings from the tomb of King Zhou Ding and a strange-shaped tomb accompanying the princess.
Han Kongque waved his hand and said: "This is okay for laymen. In fact, which ancient tomb has not been stolen in the past? Some ancient tombs have been stolen countless times since ancient times. Now, as long as they are found,
A lot of things can still be unearthed, and the tomb of King Zhou Ding is so large, can it be robbed and excavated?"
"You mean?" Li Da's eyes were already shining.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang was hesitant and did not want Zhu Di and Zhu Xi to succeed to the throne, so he made compensation for his sons. For example, Zhu Di was enfeoffed in Beijing, and Zhu Xi was enfeoffed.
Being divided into Kaifeng and Fengfeng are all proof.
In addition to these, Zhu Yuanzhang was not stingy with all kinds of treasures. Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, overthrew the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and plundered countless treasures from the Mongolian princes. A large part of them was distributed to several of his sons, especially some of his most valued sons.
Otherwise, where would King Zhu Di of Yan get the capital to rebel?"
"I've never heard of this." Li Da looked at Professor Zhou and Professor Wang and said.
And the two of them are considered old foxes, so naturally they won't show any flaws.
Han Kongque said with certainty: "This is recorded. Of course, those who live longer and have many descendants, no matter how many treasures they have, will not be enough to share. And some who have made mistakes, such as those who died early, are afraid
Those who reveal their wealth leave behind treasures, such as King Zhuang of Liang."
King Zhuang of Liang was Zhu Zhan, the ninth son of Renzong of the Ming Dynasty. He died of illness and was buried in 1441. He is famous because so many treasures were unearthed in his tomb.
When King Zhuang of Liang was buried, he only sealed the tomb door without sealing the wall or backfilling the soil.
Ten years later, Princess Wei passed away, and the originally sealed tomb door was opened, and the Princess and Prince Zhuang of Liang were buried together.
The tombs of princes in the Ming Dynasty are high-level tombs and usually have drainage systems, but this tomb does not have a drainage system. On the contrary, the tombs were built where underground water can be seen. This should be related to some superstition at the time. There is a saying that "you will not stop until you reach the underworld."
" means.
The grave goods in the tomb are very rich, including more than 5,100 pieces of gold, silver, jade, gemstones, porcelain, etc., of which there are more than 1,400 pieces of gold, silver, and jade. The weight of gold items alone is more than 10 kilograms, and beads and precious stones are
There are more than 3400 pieces.
This is the first time that such a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry has been buried with the tomb of a Ming Dynasty prince, second only to the Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleum - Dingling.
Ming Dingling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Shenzongxian Zhu Yijun (era Wanli), the 13th emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Two of his queens (Xiaoduan and Xiaojing) are also buried here. Dingling is located at the foot of Dayu Mountain and southwest of Changling. It was built from 1584 to 1590 (from the 12th year of Wanli to the 18th year of Wanli).
In 1966, during the "Cultural Revolution", Dingling was criticized as an "ox demon and snake god", and the bones of Emperor Wanli and his two queens were burned.
The main buildings of Dingling include the Lin'en Gate, the Lin'en Hall, the Baocheng, the Ming Tower and the underground palace.
Covering an area of 182,000 square meters, it is the only tomb that has been excavated among the Ming Tombs.
However, due to the lack of awareness of cultural relic protection at that time and the specific historical period at that time (mainly referring to Wen, Ming and Po Four Olds), its excavation is also considered a great tragedy in the history of archaeology.
Now there is only one underground palace left in Dingling for tourists to visit. However, this can also let people see the luxury of Dingling at that time.
The underground palace is the main part of Dingling Mausoleum. It is 27 meters deep and consists of five halls: front, middle, back, left and right, with a construction area of 1195 square meters.
The left and right side halls are two relatively symmetrical halls, with a coffin bed built of white marble in the middle. The two side halls are connected to the central hall by a corridor.
There are three white marble pedestals in the middle hall, and the five offerings and everlasting lanterns of the emperor and empress are placed.
The back hall is the largest hall in the underground palace. The coffins of Emperor Wanli and the two queens are placed in the center of the coffin bed.
There are jade materials, plum vases and red lacquered wooden boxes filled with burial objects placed around the coffin.
The unearthed funerary objects include the emperor's and queen's clothing, treasures, Ming utensils, wooden figurines, armor, knives, arrows, gold, silver, jade, porcelain vessels and a large number of silk fabrics.
The buried gold, silver, jade and bead jewelry were of various types, exquisitely crafted and well-preserved. They are still shining brightly, gracefully and luxuriously, which is amazing.
Most of these things were destroyed, so although there are more funerary objects in Dingling than in the tomb of King Liangzhuang, they are not as many as those preserved in the tomb of King Liangzhuang, and they are not as precious as the things unearthed from the tomb of King Liangzhuang.
For example, there are five unearthed gold crowns inlaid with precious stones. The largest one is 4.8 centimeters high, 5.2 centimeters in diameter, and weighs 41.1 grams. It has a light yellow transparent gemstone inlaid on the top. The crown is in the shape of an eight-petal flower and is inlaid with eight red stones.
Gemstones of various colors, blue and green, are bright and colorful and extremely precious.
The unearthed seal of the princess, made of copper and gold, is the appointment document for Princess Wei who was canonized as the princess in 1433 (the eighth year of Xuande).
Titles are rarely buried in tombs, but the title of a princess is the first to be found in the tomb of a Ming Dynasty prince.
Two pieces of "arm-wrapped gold" are made of twelve turns of gold strips with a width of 0.7 cm and a thickness of 0.1 cm. Each is 12.5 cm long and weighs 295.5 and 292.5 grams respectively. They are ornaments for women and were buried in the tombs of princes of the Ming Dynasty.
, the first of its kind.
The tomb of King Liangzhuang originally had a tomb garden and ground buildings. Now only part of the Ying Garden remains, and the buildings were destroyed in history. Now only traces of bricks and tiles can be seen. The tomb (i.e. underground palace) was built
On a hillside, oriented north-south and in the shape of a "middle", is a cliff cave brick chamber tomb.
There is a sloping tomb passage at the south end of the tomb, 10.6 meters long.
The tomb chamber is divided into front and back chambers, and the interior is covered with a layer of lime to prevent moisture.
Tin utensils, copper, iron utensils, etc. came from the front room, and the coffin beds of the king and concubine, as well as the main gold, silver, jade, jewelry, etc., all came from the back room.
The excavation of the tomb of Prince Zhuang of Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was the one with the largest number of cultural relics unearthed and the highest value of cultural relics among the Ming Dynasty archaeological discoveries in Hubei Province. It was also an unprecedented discovery with the highest level and the most unearthed cultural relics among the tombs of Ming Dynasty princes excavated nationwide. It was an unprecedented discovery in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Archaeological research provides new information and new topics.
Anyone who pays attention to these things should know that the brilliance of gold and jade in the tomb of King Liangzhuang shocked the Chinese people.
CCTV director Zhang Xiaomin recorded them with his camera under the title "National Treasure".
The cctv-9 documentary channel broadcast this documentary for seven consecutive days, focusing on the cultural relics of Hubei and North China.
In 2008, CCTV's "Witness. Journey of Discovery" planned to shoot a series of documentaries to reflect the "national treasures" in museums across the country, and Zhang Xiaomin was appointed as the director.
After much research, she chose the Hubei Provincial Museum: "Because the cultural relics collected here have long been famous in the museum world."
Before departure, Zhang Xiaomin planned to make three to four episodes, but she spent more than 20 days in the Hubei Provincial Museum and ended up filming seven episodes of the documentary: "I didn't expect that there are so many good cultural relics here, and there are endless stories behind them.
story."
She spent two episodes recording the tomb of King Liangzhuang where gold and jade were buried, two episodes introduced the beautiful Zun Plate of Marquis Zeng Yi, and the remaining three episodes respectively told the mystery of the casting of Zeng Marquis Yi’s chimes, the immortal mystery of the lacquerware of the Warring States Period and
The poignant love story of the Yuan blue and white four loves picture Mei Ping.
"The petition to move to the palace was rejected. King Liangzhuang died young and eventually lost his country due to the elimination of heirs. Facing her deceased husband, Concubine Wei wanted to die with the king, but she was forced to survive by the mercy of the Holy Grace. The joint burial was delayed ten years, and half of the stone gate
The mystery is finally revealed..."
"Why did King Zhuang of Liang bury so many treasures in his tomb? It was because he had no heirs, so all the wealth that Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded to their tribe was taken into the tomb by him.
The same is true for King Zhou Ding. Although he has a legacy, his branch has gone through many hardships, and was even remembered by Emperor Jianwen. In the end, his tomb was built with great grandeur, but not many treasures were buried in it. So these treasures
Where did you go?" Han Kongque's last question was very certain.
"It can't be in Yin'an Hall, right?" Thinking of Professor Zhou asking Han Peacock to search for the ruins of Yin'an Hall just now, Li Da immediately thought of this.
"We were simply looking for the Yin'an Palace to confirm the ruins of the Zhou Palace. We didn't think much about it." Professor Wang gritted his teeth and said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "That's it. If you dig out, you will definitely see a dilapidated ruins. I think you can definitely locate this place by passing other places. This is the ruins of Yin'an Temple.
.”
"Is it right here?" Looking at the ground under his feet, Professor Zhou was a little dumbfounded. He knew that Han Peacock was powerful, but was he so powerful?
They did not doubt Han Kongque's words. After all, this could not be deceived. If it was a lie, they would only need to dig it out and take a look.
"How did you know? It doesn't look like the fog-gazing method was used!" Li Da looked at Han Peacock in confusion.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? With so many ruins around it already identified, it shouldn't be difficult to deduce that this is the Yin'an Palace, but what's difficult is definitely not finding what they want."
"You mean there can't be a hidden treasure here?" Li Da said with eyes shining.
Han Peacock resisted rolling his eyes: "How do I know? If you don't dig it out, who knows what's in the ground?"
"That's right. If all Zhu Xi's treasures were hidden here, they would have been snatched away by Emperor Jianwen," Li Da said.
"Is this really the ruins of Yin'an Palace?" Professor Wang finally couldn't help but ask.
"I'm sure this is the site. Even if I say it's not, I'm afraid you won't believe it. Are there so many experts like you still not able to confirm that this is the ruins of Yin'an Palace?" Han Peacock had a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Since you have called him here to help, you must make it clear. Now that you have called him here, you are still hiding it. That is too petty.
"If this is really the ruins of Yin'an Temple, then there is nothing to say." Professor Zhou said a little frustrated. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
