On June 10, it was learned from the relevant departments that the excavation of the ancient Warring States tombs on the side of the friendship river in the Miluo City of Yueyang was basically completed, and cultural relics such as painted pottery, pottery pots, jade pots, jade pots, bronze pots, and bronze car seats were unearthed. . Among them, the most unique ceramic painted animal tombs, dating back more than 2,000 years ago, are extremely rare in Hunan archaeological history and have important archaeological research value.

High collapse, ancient tombs of the pre-Qin period

The recent continuous heavy rain caused the collapse of Gaochun in the Cement Factory section of Gaoquanshan in Gaoluo City. The staff of the Jurassic Cultural Relics Management Office found signs of ancient tombs at the collapsed site. After further investigations and investigations, it was initially confirmed that this was a tomb during the Qin Dynasty. The Miluo City Cultural Relics Administration reported the situation to the Yueyang Archaeological Research Institute. Approved by the Provincial Institute of Archeology, professional and technical personnel performed a 20-day rescue archeological excavation of the ancient tomb here according to the field archaeological regulations.

With the development of the clean-up work, a medium-sized tomb with a tomb width of 3.1 meters, a length of 4 meters, a residual depth of 5.8 meters, and a grave road was fully revealed. The structure of the tomb was one-by-one, the tomb walls were standardized, and the tombs were filled with soil. The elaborate Wuhuatu is a typical tomb of the Warring States earth pit. More regrettably, a thief hole with a diameter of about 0.8 meters appeared in the middle of the tomb. As the stolen cave fills with damaged tiles of the Tang and Song Dynasties, archaeologists reasoned that the tomb was stolen during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and that the stolen goods may contain a bronze ritual.

Town tomb beast owner "exorcise housekeeping"

In subsequent excavations, the funerary objects such as Tao Ding, Tao Dun, clay pots, jade pots, bronze pots, and bronze car sag were unearthed. According to the type and quantity of pottery unearthed and the bronze remnants in the crater, the archeological staff inferred that the owner of the tomb should be a nobleman.

Among the unearthed funerary objects, a “four unlike” beast-like pottery is extremely unique. The animal's body is red and white paint is faintly visible. Its brows are tight and its eyes widen as if it is glaring at something. Zhao Yu, director of the Yueyang City Cultural Relics Management Office, said: “This is a town tomb animal, placed on the tomb to be buried with it, used as a tomb owner to drive evil and see a family nursing home,” was a kind of funeral custom at that time.” This kind of artifact is abstract in appearance, bizarrely conceived, and has a strong cultural color of the sorcery of Chu State.

The town and the tomb beast is a unique funerary object of the Chu tomb, and it is also one of the uniquely shaped utensils in the Chu-painted pottery. It has distinctive regional characteristics and characteristics of the times. Most of the town's tombs that have been unearthed so far are relics of the Warring States period, with Chu as the most. This coincides perfectly with the territory of the Jurassic River Valley that historically belonged to the State of Chu.

“The town’s tomb beasts appeared for the first time in the archeological history of the Jurassic tombs.” Archaeological staff said that although there were no beautiful bronze devices available, unearthed cultural relics such as Tao Ding, Tao Dun and clay pots were used to study the life and funeral of the time. Culture provides evidence.

Zhao Lan said that the tomb has spanned more than 2,000 years in the year and is dominated by Chu culture. The cultural relics that were excavated in the wholesale exhibition not only displayed the funeral customs of the Warring States period, but also through these unearthed cultural relics, they can be seen in many aspects such as the material and cultural life of the society at that time, and were important for the study of the history of the Miluo, Yueyang, and even Hunan. the value of.
