The tomb of Emperor Yao was discovered by archaeology in Shandong

Italian Marco Polo traveled in China for 17 years During the tour He met Kublai Khan Facing this emperor whom he admired so much After expressing respect Marco Polo curiously asked Kublai Khan Are there people who admire you? Questions about Marco Polo Kublai Khan replied: The rule of Yao and Shun Do you know now? For Kublai Khan Kings like Yao and Shun are his role models. Yao Ming Fang Xun As the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan Should rule the world Listed as one of the Five Emperors in the Records of the Grand Historian no doubt In the legend The status of the kiln is extremely high After ten years of efforts by Chinese archaeologists, The legendary kiln is coming out of the legend Become a reliable history The turning point of all this It's all related to the archway unearthed in 2011 Yaoling Memorial Archway in the winter of 2011 The cold wind in Heze, Shandong is still a bit biting But Lu Weimin's heart was very passionate As the director of Juancheng County Cultural Relics Protection Center A practitioner who loves archaeology He finally got his muse. For Lu Weiming The antiquities buried deep underground are the ultimate art Each stone carving Each piece of pottery Behind it is the weight and charm of history After hanging up the phone Lu Weimin was not in a hurry to leave Instead, I sat in the office chair for a while. As the archaeologist Years of experience have taught him No matter how excited he is He also needs to regroup. To lead the team better Go explore the surprise buried deep underground Mount Tai collapses in front of you, but you remain calm The elk rises on the left and its eyes are not in harmony This is also what history has taught him over the years. Sit quietly for a while After Lu Weimin sorted out his thoughts Take a deep breath Then he opened the door Drive to the place told on the phone Gulin Village is a very ordinary village in Heze But Lu Weimin knew starting from today Old Forest Village Will become an unavoidable name in the archaeological world After arriving at Gulin Village Lu Weimin endured Excitedly asked colleagues about the situation on the scene But when the conversation was over Lu Weimin was extremely excited His brows furrowed deeply So do you think something can be discovered? Looking at the dejected players Lu Weimin asked solemnly No one answered After getting the answer Lu Weimin said he had worked hard Let the players take a rest first. As the responsible person Lu Weimin knows that it is his responsibility to solve the problem There have been major archaeological discoveries However, it is unable to be discovered due to limited conditions. Such questions are not uncommon in the archaeological community. The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is also The final development has not yet been carried out This common question can relieve many people But Lu Weimin couldn't accept it. As an archaeologist He has obligations and responsibilities To uncover every truth of history His love for archaeology does not allow him to pass the door not to mention This discovery is related to Emperor Yao. Bell Arch This is what Lu Weiming did after receiving the notification from the team members. The words that kept lingering in his mind In this winter Because a local water conservancy survey His team members accidentally discovered There is a possibility that a bell-raising memorial archway is buried underground in Gulin Village. That's Rao, one of the Five Emperors. He was the first person to initiate the abdication They are the ancestors of the Chinese people. Lu Weimin would never allow Give up easily A glimmer of hope to uncover the secrets of Emperor Rao Lu Weimin made up his mind To excavate the Raoling Archway But the problem before him is also extremely realistic. The excavation site is low-lying Complex geographical conditions In general In order to protect the cultural relics of the excavation site as much as possible The archaeologists We will explore in a probing way Divide the archaeological site into multiple identical blocks Then fix the soil in the ground according to the block range The most common archaeological method is to The benefits are obvious First, we can restore the scene of the original ruins as much as possible. Second, it can prevent soil collapse Caused loss of cultural relics But the carbon square method does not work in this area. The premise of establishing Carbon Square The soil is fixed by making supports But the land structure responsible here It is difficult to meet such conditions This is also why Experienced team members The reason for all the silence Lu Weiming naturally knew the difficulty But he didn't want to give up After a night of deep thought With dark circles under the eyes Lu Weiming ran out of the archaeological camp excitedly Seeing Lu Weiming running out of the camp The players who saw it all sighed. Colleagues for many years They naturally knew Lu Weimin's love for archaeology. In their view Running is just Lu Weimin's way of releasing stress But what they didn't expect was Lu Weimin's move was not to relieve pressure He has already figured out a solution. Soon after, Lu Weiming returned to the archaeological camp. With him came a few special guys Rao Fang Unearthed When special engineering vehicles With the arrival of a series of high-tech exploration and excavation machines The camp members thought for a moment. They all showed a look of sudden enlightenment They suddenly realized Manual cleaning has long been a common method They accidentally fell into the misunderstanding of thinking Before, they always thought How to avoid destroying When excavating the land structure Conduct excavations But I forgot They could have dug a bigger carbon cube Since the excavation site itself is in an area prone to collapse Water Place Then we can start exploring from the outside. Encircle the excavation site Then clean it up little by little Isolate the excavation site and then proceed with excavation Although this method is time-consuming and laborious It is beyond human power. But it is a special machine that can A good way to solve a dilemma Past Difficulties that plague the excavation of many Sanxingdui and other ruins There are also many new technologies New machinery to solve the problem It's just their self-limiting mistake I forgot about this for a moment. After thinking clearly about the joints The team members all looked up to Lu Weiming Cast an admiring look Feel the team members' mood change from low to excited As the person in charge, Lu Weiming also became happy. On this The Yaolin Stone Archway Archaeological Project officially begins Using machines After finding out the surrounding situation and the exact location of the ruins Mining through human-machine integration Lu Weiming Archaeological Team Overcame the problem of harsh excavation environment One by one The bell-shaped stone archway buried 7.5 meters underground Discovered The excavation of the Yaolin stone archway Lu Weiming was very happy Facing the camera He smiled and reported the results of the excavation to the reporter. A total of 105 cultural relics were unearthed. The main components and accessories of the archway are not missing. Under Lu Weiming's introduction The ancient charm of the bell-ringing stone archway Gradually emerging in people's minds The width of the Yaolin Stone Archway is 7.6 meters Total height 6.5 meters It is a typical four-pillar three-door stone archway. Commonly used in ancient tombs and shrines In the main room of the archway There are four characters on the plaque: Ancient Forest, Clouds and Moon. On the side is the inscription "Pulegu Birthday Ceremony in the Fourth Year of Qianlong" Puzhou Chronicles of the Qing Dynasty Ancient Forest Cloud Moon Memorial Archway Depicted in Raolin Ancient Map Exactly the same There are male and female stone lions carved on the top of the archway's spindle. Very vivid and expressive Even the stone lion The claws are depicted in great detail. Because all the stones are made of bluestone So even after many years There is still not much damage. The words mentioned about the archway Lu Weiming explained that Gulin is a place name The name of the place where the arch is located Yunyue refers to the kiln This word A good place for the emperor to be buried. then Lu Weiming explained the origin of the ancient forest to people The place was named Gulin because of the ancient trees that grew into a forest. The flower shape of the ancient tree is similar to that of the ear of grain Hence the name Ancient Tree Later, due to simplification, the word "gu" was changed to "gu". Talking about the unearthed Yaoling Memorial Archway Lu Weiming was still a little excited The Yaoling Memorial Archway was built in 1739 It's been more than 200 years Built during the Qing Dynasty Could it be Shouldn't the Yaoling Memorial Archway have been formed during Yao's time? People’s doubts Lu Weiming smiled and said haha The stone archway was indeed built in the Qing Dynasty But this further proves that Yao Ling was here The Yaoling Memorial Archway was seen in the Qing Dynasty This actually proves that Yao Ling is here What is the principle behind this? A word from Lu Weimin Makes everyone more confused In Lu Weimin's subsequent explanation Everyone finally understood the reason. It turns out that Yao Lin is so old Its existence and location have always been controversial in the archaeological community. But after repeated excavations of ancient ruins Now Yao Lin is confirmed in Gulin. The Yaolin Stone Archway from the Qing Dynasty he excavated this time It was indeed built in the Qing Dynasty. However, it was proved that until the Qing Dynasty The emperor also performed Yaolin sacrifices in the ancient forest From the second year of Jianwu of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty That is, in 26 AD, the ancient mausoleum of Yao was worshipped. The 31st year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty That is, more than 1,800 years before 1,905 AD Emperors of all dynasties offered sacrifices to the ancient mausoleum Raoma Never stopped The ancient Linyunri memorial archway has a simple and heavy shape Grand momentum It is a treasure among ancient archway buildings. High historical, artistic and scientific research value He is the important food evidence of Yao's burial in the ancient mausoleum It is also a study of the history of Yaoling Provides authentic and reliable food information I'm glad I discovered him. Lu Weiming concluded: Engaged in archaeology for many years Lu Weiming naturally knew The difficulty of archaeology does not lie in the process of excavation It's the process of searching Countless archaeologists Because of a few ancient records and folk rumors Will go to the plateau Heading to the Desert Go to remote places such as border areas and uninhabited areas They wasted their time in countless sparsely populated places Just to find that possible discovery To uncover a glimpse of history Even in the end Most of them got nothing. For this excavation Lu Weiming feels very lucky He found what he was looking for Although in later records People only know that the bell-raising memorial arch was unearthed in ancient Lin His name won't even be mentioned. But Lu Weiming was willing to do this He loves archaeology. Love is unravelling the hem of history Love will reveal the true face of history Rather than other In Lu Weiming's opinion He's just a lucky Just ordinary archaeologists It was his luck to discover the Yao Ling Memorial Archway And those who came before him Then they set out to explore Yao Ling’s predecessors The real hero Yaolin Historic Site Under Lu Weiming's introduction People only then knew where Yao Lin is now. How much archaeologists' efforts have been wasted? There are so many thorns on the road of exploration Yao Ling's initial archaeological discoveries In the 1950s at that moment No advanced exploration and excavation machinery All archaeological discoveries Almost all of them are archaeologists. Relying on the small brush and spoon in hand Mined bit by bit The first encounter between an archaeologist and Yao Ning It is in that case In 1958, in the east of Huji Village, Heze Villagers digging the Limpsa River Large areas of rammed earth were discovered This means that there are relics underneath Although the villagers reported the matter But due to restrictions The archaeologists did not excavate it. In the following decades Although it has been found in the vicinity But no formal excavation has been carried out. Until the 1980s The archaeological team officially started to study the possible remains of Yao Ling. Mining was carried out At that time, local cultural relics workers in Heze The accumulation of rammed earth was discovered again in the area It is speculated that there should be ancient relics underneath However, the exact age, scope and area are uncertain. To solve these problems Archaeologists explored and excavated the ruins This excavation shocked people. Because the ruins here are a city The length of the city from north to south is more than 800 meters. The width from east to west is about 600 meters The remaining area is about 600,000 square meters no doubt The Discovery of an Entire Ancient City It is an extremely important archaeological discovery. But unfortunately Because of various factors After exploring this part, It stagnated. Excavations were not resumed until 2007. This site That is Chengyang, the city where Emperor Yao once lived. The Shui Jing Zhu still records that there is a Yao Mausoleum two miles west of Chengyang City. Chengyang City It is an immovable coordinate for finding the Yaoling ruins. Found Chengyang This means that Yaoling has been discovered. In the spring of 2007, at the Heze Institute of History and Archaeology Under the coordination of Director Pan Jianrong Heze Cultural Relics Affairs Office Mudan District Cultural Relics Management Office Joint team Preliminary archaeological survey and exploration of Chengyang ruins After the initial exploration is completed The following year, the Chengyang City and Yaolin ruins were Visual work was performed Through this visual archeology The team members explored a more complete Chengyang ancient site The north and east walls of Chengyang Ancient City are very complete. Most of the southern wall was also detected The east wall is 648 meters long The southern wall is 900 meters long The north wall is 1,084 meters long West wall not found Archaeologists suspect it was destroyed by floods The detected circumference of the city wall is 2,500 meters The shallowest part of the wall is only 0.3 meters from the ground surface. The deepest point is 7 to 8 meters from the surface Clear soil The tamping layer is obvious Such a complete earthen wall Extremely rare in archaeological history Although Cheng Yang's location is confirmed But there is still no definite news about Yao Ling's whereabouts. Until Lu Weiming discovered the memorial archway From 1958 to 2007 Then in 2011 Archaeologists explore the rattle It's been going on After the road is clear Archaeologists have not stopped their pace New archaeological discoveries The history of rock is gradually being unraveled. After Lu Weiming discovered the Yaoling Memorial Archway The Juancheng government attaches great importance to this The following year The Yaoling Memorial Archway was excavated for protection. In 2013, it invested more than 10 million yuan as funding A landscape avenue leading to Yaoling was built Infrastructure Recreate the magnificence of Yaoling Later in 2015 Archaeologists are exploring again Under Yao Ling A 140,000 square meter Longshan cultural site was discovered So in September of that year A detailed exploration of the Yaoling underground In archaeological exploration In the 140,000 square meters of ruins Precious soil samples of history The Longshan culture Cultural relics from the Zhou, Han, Ming and Qing dynasties Ancient forest hidden in the kiln Provides scientific and detailed physical evidence In the following years The historical exploration of Yao is becoming more and more detailed In 2017 The west wall of Chengyang City, which had never been seen before, was also The wall was found to be 1,475 meters long. The entire Chengyang was excavated. Circumference 4,327 meters Area of ​​1.36 million square meters In 2019 Deputy Secretary of Heze Municipal Party Committee Zhang Lun, secretary of the Juancheng County Party Committee, said Now under the ancient ruins of Juancheng Archaeological exploration A 170,000 square meter Longshan cultural site was discovered This is so far The largest Longshan culture site in Heze City no doubt The process of kiln survey is arduous and long But in generations Archaeologists have come one after another Yao, the legendary figure One day it will appear before people's eyes This process is still going on today Well, that’s all for this issue.
