Fuhao's Tomb The Fuhao's Tomb was excavated in 1976 by Zheng Zhenxiang and Chen Zhida, archaeological experts from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It was ranked among the top ten archaeological achievements in the country that year.

The Fuhao Tomb is located southwest of the Group B foundation site. It is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the palace and temple area of ??the Yin Ruins since 1928. It is also the only fully preserved tomb of a royal member of the Shang Dynasty discovered since the scientific excavation of the Yin Ruins. The tomb is 5.6 meters long from north to south.

, 4 meters wide from east to west and 7.5 meters deep.

There is a Xiangtang built on the tomb, which is called "Muxin Zong" in oracle bone inscriptions.

Fuhao Xiangtang (Muxinzong) Fuhaoxiangtang and Muxinzong are the ancestral temple buildings built on the tomb of Fuhao by King Wuding after the death of Fuhao. Fuhao - the temple name is "Xinzong"

".

The Xiangtang on his tomb is called "Muxin Zong" in inscriptions.

This building is a scientific restoration of the ruins of Mu Xin Sect.

China's earliest female general----White Marble Statue of a Good Woman The white marble statue of a good woman stands in front of the Hall of Good Women. This statue was sculpted based on relevant information.

You can see that her eyes are bright, she is not angry but powerful, she is strong and strong, and she is majestic, showing the heroic appearance and grace of the earliest female general in China.

The large copper ax with dragon patterns in her hand was a weapon she had used during her lifetime, weighing 8.5 kilograms.

Another tiger-patterned copper ax weighs 9 kilograms.

The fact that the woman used such a heavy weapon shows her superior martial arts skills and strength.

The ancient ax was mainly used to govern the army. "The ax was once a symbol of military command, that is, royal power." Yin Ruins was the capital of the late Shang Dynasty. According to literature, from the time Pan Geng moved to Yin to the fall of Emperor Xin, there were 8 generations and 12 kings.

According to the Xia, Shang and Zhou Chronological Chart listed in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project, it is confirmed that Pan Geng moved to Yin in 1300 BC, and that King Wu conquered Shang in 1046 BC, which lasted more than 200 years. The Shang Dynasty lived in Yin for the longest time.

It is debatable. It is the 75th anniversary since Mr. Dong Zuobin first excavated the Yin Ruins. The Yin Ruins have already become famous both at home and abroad. Here we will only review the main situations and gains during the discovery and excavation of Fuhao’s tomb.

After discovery and excavation, Fuhao's tomb was located in the northwest of Xiaotun Village at that time. It was originally a hilly land higher than the surrounding farmland. In the winter of 1975, there was a wave of "agricultural learning from Dazhai" to level the construction site, and this hilly land became a leveled land.

Goal. Sufficient reasons must be given to protect this site. Since no excavation work has been done in this area in the past, little is known about the connotation of the site. At that time, the staff of the Anyang Work Station of the Institute of Archeology discussed with each other and decided to protect the important site.

Drilling was carried out. The author was responsible for the drilling work at the Xiaotun site. The cotton stalks on the hillock had not yet been removed, so drilling could only be started on the edge on November 20. After drilling, it was found that the Yin culture layer was present under the cultivated soil layer and to the east.

The rammed earth, which is about 70 meters long from east to west, is thicker and thinner to the west. To the south of the hillock is a cliff formed by taking the soil, and to the south of the cliff is an open space. I thought that if the cliff on the south side was cleared, the observed phenomenon would be more reliable.

The work of cleaning up the cliff began on November 23. Chen Zhida also participated in the cleanup work. After three days of cleaning, a section of about 140 meters long was revealed. The dense rammed earth house foundations were revealed on the east side, and the terrain was lower to the west, but still.

There was rammed earth. The discovery of the rammed earth house foundation provided an important basis for the protection of this site. After contacting the responsible officials in the village and asking them to see the site, they all agreed to protect it and said that they would not take earth here in the future.

The issue of protecting the ruins was successfully resolved, and it was decided to carry out excavation in the next year. After the application and approval procedures were completed, the excavation of the northwest part of Xiaotun Village was carried out in the spring of 1976, and the personnel involved in the work were carried out.

Zheng Zhenxiang, Chen Zhida, and Professor Zhang Zhiheng from the Department of History of Nanjing University also participated in the excavation for a period of time. In order to clarify the scope and nature of the rammed earth under the foundation, No. 1 house foundation was excavated. After the foundation soil was removed, a rectangle appeared underneath.

The pit was filled with rammed earth. The south side of the pit was dug out, but after drilling, it was found that there was still rammed earth downwards. The south edge was found. The overall shape was rectangular, much like a tomb. However, during drilling, the bottom could not be reached with one rod.

So the rope was lowered to explore. Because the rammed soil was hard and dry, the exploration shovel could not carry the soil. The exploration was more than 5 meters and still did not reach the bottom. Some people said that there were few tomb pits in Xiaotun and they were all "dead rammed soil" (referring to the soil of the house foundation).

), affecting the mood of the migrant workers, so I first dug down partially and stopped when the depth was 3 meters from the surface. I discussed with experienced technicians that we still have to drill. If we can’t reach the bottom with one rod, we can add connecting rods and use screws.

If it is tight, if it is more than 6 meters deep, it will be close to groundwater, and the rammed soil will become wet mud and it is not easy to explore. You need to add a twisting rod (the twisting rod is inserted horizontally at the top of the connecting rod). An old worker said that it takes more time to use a twisting rod.

Two people push.

I said, this is easy to do. We will stop work on Sunday and leave the drilling personnel to work hard all day. The purpose is to get to the bottom and get to the bottom of the matter. Even if it is not a tomb, we will be relieved. The people present agreed.

May 16th is Sunday. The weather is sunny. I told everyone that our task today is to explore to the bottom and drill a few more holes. As long as we explore to the bottom, no matter what phenomenon occurs, the task is completed. The workers are very motivated and start

Exploring the edge, several holes encountered something hard like a rock at different depths, making it impossible to drill down.

Finally, I decided to drill holes in the center. I thought if it was a tomb, there would be some phenomena.

A young man said that this was a crucial shovel, which made the people present a little nervous.

The progress from 3 meters to 6 meters deep from the surface is relatively fast.
