I die the country live, I die proudly, although the body died spirit long life, success into benevolence, realize the commonwealth. --Zhao Bosheng

We all know that the ancients were very particular about the choice of their own cemeteries after their deaths, and they especially valued feng shui. In order to avoid the disturbance of uninvolved people or grave robbers, the ancients would usually choose a sparsely populated place where wild animals were rare, and generally did not leave any historical information about the grave. In this way, want to find the address of the tomb in the vast land is like a needle in a haystack, grave robbers to find the correct address of the tomb is also extremely low probability.

Nowadays, most of the unearthed tombs were discovered and excavated unintentionally, either due to construction work or environmental changes. As with most of the tombs discovered today, the excavation of this tomb was also due to the construction workers digging a reservoir accidentally dug out the tomb, belonging to the type of ancient tombs discovered during the construction process, so this tomb inside what kind of secret is hidden?

Superior geographic location

Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties was a vassal state - turtle country; in the Qin and Han Dynasties called the county; Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties called the broadcasting state. The ancient turtle tribe, which now lives in the Yushui River basin near the eastern foot of Daloushan Mountain, is one of the important clans of the Ba people and one of the important origins of the Shu people.

The turtle order created the 13th generation of the Kaimei Dynasty*** of ancient Shu, and created the city of Chengdu, which was located in the center of Shu culture, during the 9th generation of the Kaimei Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, Baozhou was a major border town used to defend the Ba Shu region against attacks from highland tribal states. During the Song Dynasty, the Yangs of Baozhou were also a solid force in the southwest against the invasion of the Mongol enemy.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Baosu Tusi controlled the entire territory, from the Yangtze River in the north to the Red River in the south, across the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when war broke out and Sichuan was massacred, only Zunyi Province survived. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Zunyi was one of the most important sources of grain production and finance for the imperial court. The Zunyi Conference, held in Zunyi in January 1935, was also an important turning point in the development and growth of the Chinese Red Army, and Zunyi, Guizhou Province, has been called the "City of Turnarounds and Conferences".

Long Tusi Culture

Tusi culture refers to the origin, development and inheritance of Tusi culture in Baozhou from the 3rd year of the Tang Qianfu period (876 AD) to the 29th year of the Ming Wanli period (1601 AD). This culture involves the scope of the famous historical relics and sites including Buffalo City, Yangma City, Baozhou City, Yonganzhuang, Yunmen Hoard, and Heming Cave, which are dominated by Hailong Hoard, an ancient military fortress and Yang Ch'an's tomb in the Middle Ages of China. But unfortunately, in the Ming Wanli 28 years (A.D. 1600) of the "flat broadcasting battle", the Tusi culture will be silently silent for 400 years.

However, due to the high and steep terrain and the hot and rainy climate, waterlogging occurs all year round in this area. Every time to the rainy season, many slopes and mountains will be washed away by the rain and flooded, in order to be able to solve the problem of waterlogging, the government decided to build a reservoir here, in order to conserve water, in the workers are ready to start construction to dig the reservoir, but accidentally found the thousand-year-old tomb.

After arriving, archaeologists discovered through a cursory examination that this is supposed to be a burial group, and from the appearance is very ordinary, and there are even obvious traces of theft, they began to speculate that this group of tombs should only be civilian burials. After preliminary tests and discussions, the archaeologists started the excavation of this tomb group. Although this ancient tomb had already been stolen by grave robbers, the archaeologists were still consistently careful when opening the mouth of the tomb, because after exploration, this ancient tomb should be very old, and the slightest carelessness could cause damage to the historical relics and other precious materials inside.

The 14th Tusi of Baozhou, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Jiao, belonged to the joint tomb of husband and wife. The owner of the tomb, Mr. Yang, was not only a governor of Baozhou, but he also led the army to the battlefield many times to resist foreign invasions, and Yang price had a high status at that time.

Bravely fighting for the country, leading the army to attack

According to historical records, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, at this time, the broadcasting of the state is Yang price and his son Yang Wen command period. Song and Mongolia war, the army of the Sichuan war zone is very weak, so this area has become the Mongolian iron cavalry to attack the occupation of the preferred place. The Mongolian army was so aggressive and courageous that there were rumors that it was able to take on ten men at a time.

At the time when everyone was ready to surrender in defeat, the unseen and unheard of army appeared, which was trained by the Yang price who was the governor of Baozhou at that time. According to the legend, at that time Yang price for this battle also set up a very strict military law, once the soldiers out of the war, can only be killed in battle can not be defeated, or else to impose military justice.

While the Mongolian army is very good at horseback riding and archery, but they are not suitable for fighting in the vast darkness of the night, but in the night battle is the best of the broadcasting state army, coupled with the soldiers for the broadcasting state terrain is familiar with the broadcasting state army the more the more courageous, the invincibility of all the places they go, step by step, pressed the enemy army. The Mongolian army can only be attacked by the retreat, tactics and staffing also become more and more passive, forced to order the hasty escape.

After the death of Yang price, the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to honor him for his outstanding contribution to the defense of broadcasting, issued a decree to Yang price posthumously as the Marquis of Wei Ling Ying Lie, and also built a luxurious mausoleum for him, and even the nails nailed to the coffin are made of pure gold. This shows the depth of his achievements. And also in order to prevent being disturbed by grave robbers, this luxury mausoleum will be repaired in the appearance of such a plain and ordinary.
