The Han Tomb of "Qiandongnan Hotel Fold" unearthed in Xuyi, Jiangsu Province: the most complete jade coffin found so far.

Ancient grave robbers used the "army" to rob tombs.

As a result, the coffin was burned and pieces of jade clothes were scattered all over the floor.

While speaking, the reporters carefully slid from the South Tomb Road to the bottom of the tunnel of Tomb No.1, that is, the bottom of Longtang. Archaeologists say that the so-called Longtan is actually a deep pit left by ancient grave robbers, which was later formed by accumulated water. So the ancient tomb is full of green mud. Archaeologists said that after the robbery gang was arrested last year, Nanbo Archaeological Institute began exploration in mid-February and officially excavated in September. "This is a large-scale wooden coffin tomb with vertical holes in the Han Dynasty, Tanzania Tourism Network. There are cemeteries, city walls, gates and ground buildings in the tomb. Its scale is huge and its grade is extremely high. "

The reporter found that the coffins in the tomb were scattered all over the place, and some coffins were burned to black. Archaeologists explained that it was stolen in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the army may have used it. The grave robbers turned the coffin upside down. After stealing the treasure, they set fire to the coffin. Just at the crack of the broken coffin, the reporter saw a shiny thing. "This is a piece of gold. The thief stole the gold thread and threw it away, because in the Han Dynasty, the grade of jade was very strict. If it is broken, chop it, and the gold thread can be sold. "

Do you know how rare the things in the grave are?

The coffin is inlaid with gold and jade, and gold and silver are intertwined.

Only two jade coffins were unearthed in China.

Captain Li, the archaeological leader, led everyone to Tomb No.2, which is 13 meters away. Tomb No.2 is also a double burial road between north and south, and tomb No.1 is also a slope structure. Archaeologists told reporters that jade clothes and coffins have been found in Tomb No.2, and the gold thread on the jade clothes is quite well preserved. Even the details of how the gold wire was knotted to connect the jade pieces were preserved, and some 2-3 jade pieces were found at the scene, which were unearthed as a whole.

The discovery of the jade coffin is even more amazing. A relatively complete jade coffin side plate was also found at the scene. A large number of diamond-shaped jade pieces are inlaid on the side plates, and a jade wall with patterns is carved in the middle. The seams between jade pieces are inlaid with gold foil and silver foil, and the jade wall is pasted with silver pieces. Outside, golden light, silver light and jade light are intertwined, which is particularly bright. On the coffin, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see some sparkling patterns. "This coffin is inlaid with gold and jade, which is very rare. At present, only the Han Tomb in Mancheng, Hebei Province and the Chu Tomb in Shizishan, Xuzhou have been unearthed. "

Jade coffin details

Although the tomb was stolen, the main structure of the jade coffin is clear and it is the most complete jade coffin found so far. It provides data for the study of the burial system of jade articles in Han Dynasty and the jade box system, and provides direct evidence for solving the dispute that jade articles stick to the inner wall of lacquer coffins instead of the outer wall for the first time.
