/kloc-from the end of 0/9 to the 1930s, China was at home and abroad, and some western countries took the opportunity to send expeditions and expeditions to sneak into the border areas of China. On the surface, these people are visiting China, but in fact, they have come to steal China's ancient tomb. After the founding of New China, the archaeological system of China was gradually established. It is worth mentioning that before this, many ancient tombs in China were destroyed, mainly by grave robbers.
There is an essential difference between archaeological excavation and grave robbery. Archaeology is a comprehensive scientific research, and its main focus is culture, so cultural relics will be carefully protected after being unearthed, that is, protective excavation; Grave robbery is centered on money, which often causes malicious damage in the process of excavation. If gold, silver, jewelry and exquisite utensils are used, robbing the tomb is a rush, and those things that do not meet the above standards will be destroyed. Grave robbers have done great damage to cultural relics for personal illegal interests. Archaeology is the restoration and protection of ancient cultural relics for the benefit of society.
A very embarrassing thing happened in 20 16, when an archaeologist named Wang Wenyuan discovered an ancient tomb in Hunan. At that time, a construction unit found a mysterious ancient tomb buried underground at work, so it immediately notified the relevant local departments for verification. After learning this, Wang Wenyuan, an archaeologist, and the team rushed to the scene overnight. As the builders destroyed the surface of the ancient tomb, the archaeological team immediately decided to carry out protective excavation.
The excavation work is urgent. Everyone in the archaeological team is busy in their posts. Seeing that the cultural relics in the tomb are slowly being excavated, about halfway through the excavation, the archaeological captain Wang Wenyuan suddenly shouted: "Stop, this is my ancestral grave!" What the hell is going on? It turned out that during the excavation, the archaeological team began to verify the owner in the tomb. Through the on-site identification of the cultural relics and books unearthed in the tomb, it is known that the owner of the tomb is Wang, an official in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
Wang Shiming's brother was Wang, a magistrate in Songjiang during the reign of Kangxi. Wang was a university student in Beijing, a cabinet minister, and a minister of rites. He was a big official in the Qing Dynasty. After his death, the king was buried in Changsha, his hometown, and was made a marquis. At that time, Shiming was an official in other places, and his lineage was passed down in the southeast coastal areas, while Wang's lineage was slowly dying out. It is not clear whether there are direct descendants. Therefore, the captain of the archaeological team is the descendant of Wang, so this embarrassing scene appeared.
However, the land will eventually be developed, and archaeological work can't stop. After careful consideration, Captain Wang Wenyuan agreed to continue the excavation work. Not only that, but the items finally excavated will also be handed over to the country. He said that the owner of the tomb will not be treated differently because of his origin, and all the cultural relics in the tomb will be donated to the country, hoping to make contributions to history and culture. It is difficult for anyone to make a decision when such a thing happens. After all, it is your ancestral grave. What do you think of this?
