At the end of the 1980s, Gaoyou, a world heritage city and a national historical and cultural city, developed rapidly. Due to the rich local mine resources, the local mining industry was very developed.
In 1979, a large cave was accidentally exploded when blasting a municipal quarry in the Shenjushan mountain area in Tianshan Town, Huxi, Gaoyou City. The workers went in and saw that there was an ancient tomb inside the cave. The workers immediately reported to the local government department.
The archaeological experts sent by the superiors to Jiangsu Province, and the cultural relics experts conducted preliminary inspections and surveys of this cemetery. It is judged that the scale of this cemetery is extremely large. Its Muzi area is 18 times larger than the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Hunan, and the internal layout is very elegant. It is very likely that it was the tomb of ancient princes and nobles.
Unsurprisingly, after entering the ancient tomb, the experts realized that this was the tomb of the fourth son 刘胥 of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty. There are a large number of rare funeral objects and many valuable cultural relics in the tomb pit, which are of great literary and archaeological value, such as fragments of jade clothes, various kinds of early Han Dynasty pottery, jade and so on.
This tomb is the tomb of Liu Xu and his wife in different caves, named 天山汉墓, also called 广陵王墓. Because Liu Xu was given the title of Guangling and was the first king of Guangling.
However, when the experts and scholars came to the front of the coffin, they found that the place was all surrounded by "黄肠题修" 横木, which represents the highest level of etiquette in the Han Dynasty. , Like a small palace made of golden nanmu, full of style.
Later, experts broke down the nanmu roots one by one. On the outside, these nanmu are smooth and delicate, and the color is gorgeous; in terms of production process, these precious nanmu can survive for more than two thousand years without decay, which is enough to prove the superb craftsmanship in the Western Han Dynasty.
Archaeological experts judged that any nanmu like this would cost at least RMB 20 million. Hearing that, the locals in Gaoyou were surprised. When counting the number of nanmu in Liuxu’s tomb, it was found that there were a total of 865 nanmu, all made of precious nanmu, equivalent to 545.56 cubic meters of wood.
According to the quotation given by experts, it is calculated that the total price of Nanmu used in this barrier wall can reach RMB 17 billion. Compared with more than ten of the same type of tombs of the same type unearthed from the Tianshan Han tomb, the "黄肠题mash" type wooden coffins are large in materials, refined in production, strict in structure, and well preserved. It is a rare and stunning work, and once reported it has caused a sensation at home and abroad.
