In April 2013, construction workers dug a ancient tomb on a construction site.
The archaeologists who received the news soon came to the scene.
After investigation, they found that this ancient tomb is not very large , with an area of less than 30 square meters of , consisting of tomb, ear chamber and tomb passage. The construction craftsmanship is also very general.
The tomb collapsed in a large area due to too long time.
The archaeologists feel that this is not the tomb of some important person. At most it is a big family.
The funerary objects of the tomb are unique
But when the archaeologists arrive at the scene, they still have to excavate the tomb.
shop the first
just started to explore,The archaeologists discovered a puddle . As one of the nine sons of the dragon, puddle is extremely vigilant.
The ancients usually used it to decorate the gate, and it was generally made into door handle .
This paved head discovered by the archaeologists is made of gilt throughout, and the diameter of the animal face reaches 26 cm of .
The staff guessed based on the paving heads excavated in the past, this is not something that ordinary people can have, and the paving heads of this size generally come from the palace.
It didn't take long for the archaeologists to unearth a thirteen-ring gold inlaid jade . The staff of
said that the and the Sui and Tang dynasties had the highest specifications. The thirteen-ring belt was only worn by the emperor. Only one thirteen-ring belt has been unearthed so far.
They discovered a large number of figures pottery figurines and in the western ear chamber. The craftsmanship is superb and lifelike.
When the staff saw these pottery figurines, they felt that the who could be buried with these pottery figurines was not the emperor, but also the prince .
This appearance is inconspicuous,In an ancient tomb with surprisingly high specifications, which emperor will be buried in it?
The archaeologists at the site continued to excavate this ancient tomb in order to understand the identity of the owner of the tomb.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty
Confirm the identity of the tomb owner
A few days later, a epitaph was found in the tomb. The staff at the scene of this epitaph were excited because they were troubled. The doubts in my heart may be solved.
After the staff cleaned up the epitaph, although most of the text in this epitaph was blurred due to its age, experts began to analyze the remaining text.
The first sentence on the epitaph shocked the expert into speechless.
It clearly says " epitaph of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ". The remaining inscriptions of
include "Fourteen Years of Great Cause" and "Emperor Collapse in Yangzhou ".
These texts correspond to the time and place of the death of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty recorded in the history books.
Seeing the text on the epitaph, the archaeologists were surprised and delighted.
Sui Yang Emperor Mausoleum in Huaisi Town
I am happy that the tomb of Sui Yang Emperor was successfully excavated. I was shocked because of the Huaisi Town , and a Sui Dynasty not far from here. The mausoleum of Emperor Yang. It has been established there for hundreds of years and is still a provincial cultural relics protection unit.
Because the country does not allow excavation of the imperial tombs, the tomb of Emperor Suiyang in Huaisi Town has never been opened.
Now the tomb of Emperor Sui Yang has been discovered here again,The two tombs of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty were all in Yangzhou, which surprised the staff present.
After hearing the news, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage hurriedly mobilized a large number of archaeological experts from all over the country to form a joint archaeological team to expand the scope of reconnaissance and conduct further excavations with this tomb as the center.
After the joint archaeological team arrived at the site, they further excavated the tomb and surveyed the area of 120,000 square meters around the tomb.
There are some experts who do not conduct excavation work, but specifically consults the historical classics related to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Specially provide clues and literature support for the excavation work .
After repeated screening of the excavation site, although the bones of the tomb owner could not be found in this tomb, two teeth were discovered.
Through the identification of anthropologists, these two teeth belonged to one person, and was about 50 years old when he died.
Upon hearing this news, the experts who consulted the classics showed evidence that Emperor Sui Yang was in his fifties when he died.
Although the age of the owner of these two teeth corresponds to the age when Emperor Sui Yang died. However, there is still insufficient evidence to prove that these two teeth belonged to Emperor Sui Yang.
At this moment, there was good news from the experts who were exploring.
New tomb found
They found another tomb not far from this tomb .
The scale of the newly discovered tomb is also small, even smaller than the tomb of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Experts concluded based on the age and shape of the tomb that this is the tomb of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
They speculated that this was the tomb of the youngest son of Emperor Yang of Sui. Because Emperor Yang's youngest son was killed together with Emperor Yang of Sui, this tomb is most likely the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui.
As the excavation continued, the funerary tomb was slowly uncovered.
Unearthed celadon enamel inkstone
After opening this funerary tomb, the experts present saw the narrow tomb full of treasures.
After careful cleaning, the experts discovered more than one hundred exquisite cultural relics of .
Several of them are national treasures.
Unearthed bronze chimes
A set of sixteen bronze chimes , and a set of twenty bronzes.
These are treasures used by the royal court, which shows how valuable they are.
Unearthed jade zhang
When cleaning up these relics, experts also found a jade zhang .
This jade zhang is nine inches long. This jade zhang is the ritual vessel used by the emperor to travel and worship the mountains and rivers in ancient times. It is also a status symbol.
The experts present also found a gilt phoenix crown ,The speculation that this tomb was the tomb of the son of Yang Guang was completely overturned.
The owner of this tomb should be a woman of extremely dignity.
Xiao Empress
Confirm the identity of the tomb owner
Based on this phoenix crown, experts speculate that the tomb buried in this tomb is most likely Xiao Empress .
The empress Xiao described by experts based on historical facts is completely different from the enchanting concubine in the current film and television series.
According to historical records, the Empress Xiao was a Southern Dynasty imperial woman , but due to a poor life since childhood, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, finally chose Empress Xiao in order to be married to the Southern Dynasty at that time.
Empress Xiao’s virtues and knowledge are well-known in history.
After marrying Emperor Sui Yang, Empress Xiao followed Sui Yang silently. No matter where Sui Yang emperor went, until Sui Yang emperor died, Empress Xiao stayed silently by Sui Yang emperor's side.
Even when Emperor Sui Yang died, she silently accompanied Yang Guang.
The remains of Queen Xiao
Experts found a complete ancient corpse in the tomb. After identification , this is a female corpse over 70 years old. The height is about 150 cm.
Experts according to Sui Shu record Empress Xiao was born in 566 AD and died in 647 AD at the age of 81 .
Empress Xiao is a southerner. Petite, gentle and dignified, which means both age and body.
This corpse is probably the remains of Empress Xiao.
The origin of the two tombs
Experts restored the origin of the two tombs based on historical materials and unearthed cultural relics.
In 618 AD, when the world was in constant chaos, Emperor Sui Yang knew that he was exhausted.
In March of this year, his men rebelled and rushed to the palace. Before Sui Yang was dying, he put on the emperor's air and gave the last imperial decree to Xiang Yu Culture. Let him protect Empress Xiao for life.
In this way, Emperor Sui Yang was strangled to death with a belt by his men.
According to historical materials, after Emperor Yang of Sui died, his men did not even give the coffin to Emperor Yang. In the end, it was Empress Xiao who begged for help in every possible way, and then removed a door panel in the palace to bury Emperor Yang of Sui.
Tang Gaozu Li Yuan
After years of fighting, Li Yuan succeeded in taking the position.
After Li Yuan came to power, because of , Li Yuan and Yang Guang have relatives . After Li Yuan settled Jiangnan, he decreed to find Yang Guang's bones and bury them again.
also retrieved Empress Xiao and placed it in the palace. This allowed Empress Xiao from to lead a peaceful life in her later years.
Empress Xiao died in 647 AD. Due to the close relationship between Empress Xiao and the Li family, Empress Xiao begged Li Shimin to continue to accompany Emperor Sui Yang after her death.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin
After the death of Empress Xiao, Li Shimin decreed that restore the post of Empress Xiao, and also prepared funeral objects that match his identity, and sent his body to Yangzhou for burial, and Yang Guanghe was buried together.
Since Emperor Yang and Empress Xiao of Sui Dynasty were both emperors and empresses of the previous dynasty, Li Shimin naturally could not bury them, and could only build tombs hastily.
A dusty historical past has revealed the secret of why there are royal-level funerals in this humble mausoleum.
On November 16, 2013, the joint archaeological team held a press conference. Based on the unearthed cultural relics and the two teeth, it was confirmed that the owners of the two tombs were Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and his empress Xiao Xiao.
Concluding remarks
Are the Emperor Sui Yang and Empress Xiao we talked about today different from what everyone knows?
In the screen, Emperor Yang of Sui is a military, arrogant, extravagant, lustful, and evil-minded monarch.
and Empress Xiao is a demon who is the same as and daji .
However, according to historical data, Yang Guang is a prince of subjugation.
But established the imperial examination system during his 14 years in power, successfully breaking the monopoly culture of the family at that time.
Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal
also dug the Grand Canal , which runs through north and south of China and is still in use today.
It can be said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is a very important emperor who has a profound influence on future generations.
