How was the tomb of Huzhuang in Xinzheng, Henan Province discovered, and how was it determined to be Wang Han's tomb?

In 2003, Huzhuang Village, a village not far from xinzheng city, was originally an unknown small village.

It happened that it didn't rain for a long time this summer, so the villagers in Huzhuang Village had to dig wells to alleviate the drought.

Just as the villagers were digging underground, the shovel immediately felt wrong and all the bricks were polished neatly.

Digging a well to dig out very neat bricks, the villagers felt that the situation was wrong and immediately realized that they would not dig an ancient tomb.

Thought of here, the villagers immediately reported the situation here and learned that the ancient tomb was dug up here in huzhuang. The archaeological team rushed to know the situation, and sure enough, the archaeological team dug up a large number of exquisite bronze funerary objects from the underground.

An unknown small village actually dug up a large number of exquisite bronzes, which were identified as belonging to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Speaking of huzhuang, Xinzheng, Henan, it is now an unknown small village. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, is located. This area belongs to the Korean ruins during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

When the archaeologists were cleaning up the underground objects, they found two small mounds standing not far from huzhuang, about ten meters high.

The archaeological team found these two mounds very interesting. Look at the endless plains around them. These two mounds are obviously artificially piled.

The team guessed that the two mounds might be ancient tombs, so they climbed to the top of them. When climbing to the top of a mound, the players' hearts suddenly cooled by half, and several stolen holes were exposed on the top of the mound.

The original guess of the archaeological team was verified, and it turned out that these two mounds were ancient tombs.

So, whose are these two ancient tombs? Archaeologists present at that time speculated whether these two ancient tombs might be the tombs of a Korean monarch in history.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, South Korea existed for more than 200 years and was handed down to several generations of monarchs. However, the location of the tomb of the North Korean monarch has always been unknown.

If the two ancient tombs in front of us are the tombs of a monarch in Korean history, it will be a major discovery in the archaeological community and an important basis for verifying the existence of Korean history and understanding Korean history.

Archaeology should have a basis, and speculation can only be guessed, not assumed.

Many people think this is the tomb of the North Korean monarch. Don't you know after excavation?

Helpless, National Cultural Heritage Administration clearly stipulated that unless there are special circumstances, the tomb is not allowed to be excavated.

In this way, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in 20 13 years, the north-south direction of the main canal of the middle route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project will pass through the Chinese and western parts of these two tombs, and two tombs in huzhuang will be excavated.

The archaeological team once again came here to excavate these two tombs, so as to verify whether these two tombs are the tombs of a certain monarch in South Korea in history.

Before the excavation, the archaeological team had learned that the tomb was likely to be stolen, and there were stolen holes left in different periods on the seal of a tomb.

Although archaeologists were psychologically prepared for the theft of the tomb, when the seal of the tomb was removed, a large number of charcoal and stones appeared under the seal of the tomb as it was excavated downward, which made the archaeological team very excited. Ancient aristocratic tombs used charcoal to prevent moisture and corrosion, and stones to prevent theft.

These two tombs are both Han tombs. The tomb in the east is 75 meters long from north to south and 7 meters high. The plane of the tomb is an irregular rectangle, with a length of 18.45-26 meters from north to south, a width of18.4-210.3 meters from east to west and a depth of about 8 meters.

The total length of the tomb in the west is 78 meters from north to south, the height of the sealed soil residue is about 10 meter, the length of the tomb from north to south is 26 meters, the width from east to west is about 36.5 meters, and the depth is about1/0.5 meters.

For such a big tomb, most people can't afford to buy charcoal. It must be a super-advanced regular tomb. When the coffin of this tomb in the east was opened, almost all the funerary objects in front of me were stolen, leaving almost nothing to know the owner of the tomb.

Archaeologists are very disappointed. The big tomb in the west was also stolen. Is it as empty as the big tomb in the east?

So the archaeological team excavated the ancient tomb in the west. After archaeological excavation, although the tomb in the west was stolen, it was not very serious. There are more than 300 bronze ritual vessels, musical instruments, weapons, chariots and horses, miscellaneous utensils, jade and other cultural relics in the western tomb.

Although the coffins of these two tombs have decayed into mud, the cultural relics in this tomb in the west have important historical value for studying and determining the owner information of the tomb and studying the history of the pre-Qin Dynasty.

After cleaning and extracting the inscriptions on the unearthed cultural relics, experts are convinced that this is the tomb of the Korean monarch at the end of the Warring States Period.

So which monarch's tomb are these two tombs in Korean history?

After cleaning up the unearthed funerary objects, there is a record of "Thirty Years of King Koryo" on one funerary object. Looking through the reign time of Korean monarchs in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is only one Korean monarch who has been in office for more than 30 years, and that is: Han Huanhui.

I think:

The excavation of Huzhuang Tomb in Xinzheng, Henan Province not only confirmed the existence of Korea during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in history, but more importantly, it has important historical value for understanding the history of pre-Qin, especially Korea.

Huzhuang Tomb in Xinzheng, Henan Province is an artistic treasure to study the history and culture of China before Qin Dynasty.
