Located 3 kilometers southeast of Lianzhou Town, Hepu County, Guangxi, there are more than a thousand ancient Han tombs.

They are divided into earth pit tombs and brick pit tombs.

In the Han Dynasty, rich burials were prevalent. Officials, generals and immigrants from the south were buried in Hepu with many grave goods.

The cultural relics unearthed in recent years include copper phoenix lanterns, copper houses, pearls, agate, amber, pottery houses, ceramics, etc.

These cultural relics provide physical historical materials for the study of my country's ancient military, culture and art, politics, and economy, as well as the friendly exchanges and trade relations between our people and the people of Southeast Asian countries.

It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Ancient Han Tomb No. 6 in Fengmenling, Hepu is the largest ancient tomb excavated in the Hepu Han Tombs, a national key cultural relics protection unit in the past 32 years. It is also the relatively most complete ancient Han tomb excavated in Guangxi in recent years. It is large in scale and has funerary objects.

Rich, with the most complete variety of cultural relics unearthed.

After preliminary inventory, more than 130 large cultural relics and thousands of small cultural relics were unearthed from Ancient Han Tomb No. 6, including bronzes, pottery, gold, silver, jade, crystal, colored glaze, agate, coins, and bones. There are dozens of varieties, such as hair, powder, etc., and all the cultural relics can be called national treasures. Among them, the three major discoveries of Ancient Han Tomb No. 6, "bronze chariots and horses, bronze buffalo, and cultural relics buried at the bottom of the tomb passage", are the first time in the archaeological history of southern my country. It is said to be the first in Lingnan and has great archaeological significance. It cannot be overestimated.

The cultural relics unearthed from the ancient Han tombs in Hepu are of extremely high research and appreciation value.

They are rare and precious materials for studying the politics, military, economy, culture, crafts, life and customs of the time. They reflect the prosperity of Hepu area during the Han Dynasty, including a large number of imported products such as spices, colored glaze, agate, amber and The unearthing of crystal artifacts once again proves that Hepu Port was the earliest port of departure for the Maritime Silk Road in ancient China. It is also an indispensable material for studying the history of my country's overseas trade.

In the 6th year of Yuanding in the Western Han Dynasty, that is, in 111 BC, Hepu already governed Hepu County, which extended to Hainan in the south, Kaiping in Guangdong in the east, and Dongxing in the west. It became the political, cultural, and economic center of southern China at that time.

It can be seen from the excavated cultural relics that Beihai Hepu does not lack cultural heritage as some people say. On the contrary, it can even be said that the ancient culture of Beihai Hepu is the most profound in the history of Guangxi.

According to surveys, the ancient Han tombs in Hepu are spread over an area of ??68 square kilometers, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of ancient Han tombs.

Since the 1950s, more than 1,000 Han tombs have been excavated in Hepu, and countless cultural relics have been unearthed.

After the cultural relics are excavated and restored, the most important thing is to let them be collected and displayed in modern museums for experts to study and for people to appreciate for generations, so that they can glow with dazzling historical glory.

From the perspective of a cultural relics worker, cultural relics will not be effective if they are not displayed and studied. As a cultural relics worker, what I hope most is that more people can visit and study the treasures of these countries.

Due to limited conditions, the Hepu Old Museum can no longer meet the needs of rich cultural relic resources.

The top priority is to build a Han Tomb Museum as soon as possible.

Building a modern museum in Beihai, an emerging tourist city, to collect and exhibit locally unearthed cultural relics is actually a rare tourism resource. It allows foreign tourists to experience the ancient culture of Beihai, which not only enhances the popularity, but also

Let local people know more about their profound cultural heritage and become more confident, thereby stimulating enthusiasm for protecting cultural relics and entering a virtuous cycle.

Most of the broken bronzes, silverware and pottery unearthed in Ancient Han Tomb No. 6 can be repaired, and it will take about a year to repair them.

After restoration, in accordance with the "Regulations on the Protection of Cultural Relics of the Guangxi Autonomous Region", it will be collected by units (such as museums at all levels) designated by the cultural relics management department of the autonomous region for conditional protection.

Hepu County Museum may also receive part of the cultural relic collection according to levels.

At that time, Beihai citizens can appreciate these precious cultural relics and see their true appearance.

Some particularly important cultural relics will be collected in the autonomous region museum, but they can also be exhibited by more people through touring exhibitions.

Or, like the bronze phoenix lantern unearthed from the late Western Han Dynasty tomb in Wangniuling, Hepu, in January 1972, experts can make replicas and collect them in local museums for experts to study and for people to watch.
