Gai Zhiyong, deputy director of the Inner Mongolia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, said that after Xiaowangligou Liao Dynasty Guifei Tomb was selected as the "Top Ten New Archaeological Discoveries in the Country in 2015", archaeological investigation, exploration and excavation were carried out around the tomb, and a total of 5 large-scale Liao Dynasty tombs and 2 burial pits were excavated, which basically clarified the layout relationship of the Guifei cemetery.
A large number of precious porcelains were unearthed from the tomb of the imperial concubine, mainly Yue and Ding kilns. The biggest feature of these porcelains is that they are mostly gold and silver decorations on the mouth and feet. They are the most concentrated discovery of squids in the Liao Dynasty.
"Especially the unearth of several secret-colored porcelains is particularly precious and is the first discovery of porcelain used by the palace in the Liao Dynasty." Gai Zhiyong said that according to the epitaph, the owner of the tomb was the concubine of the Liao Shengzong, Xiao, and his father was Xiao Paiwei, the young father of the uncle of the country. Xiao Paiwei was the general of the Liao Pishishi and the princess of the Liao Wei Kingdom. The princess of the Wei Kingdom was the beloved daughter of the famous Empress Dowager Xiao ( Xiao Chuo ) in history.
The tomb of the imperial concubine also unearthed the highest-level crown belt and harness of the Khitan nobles, such as gold and silver crowns, gold and silver boots, silver frame and blue jade waist.
It is worth mentioning that the Inner Mongolia Archaeology Institute also cooperated with the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to continue to carry out archaeological excavations of the Liao Shangjing site.
Dong Xinlin, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with reporters that the city site consists of two parts: the imperial city in the north and the Seoul in the south. Through archaeological exploration and excavation, the shape and scale of the palace city in the Liao Shangjing was confirmed for the first time; it was confirmed that at the beginning of the construction of the Liao Shangjing imperial city, Dongmen Street was used as the central axis and planned and laid out towards the east; it confirmed that the use and reconstruction of the Liao Shangjing in the Jin Dynasty was carried out, and the evolution from the capital of the Liao Dynasty to the local city in the Jin Dynasty was revealed.
He said: "Understanding the shape, layout and historical evolution of the Liao Shangjing ruins, and providing more solid academic support for Liao Shangjing to apply for a world cultural heritage."
