Zheng Wangling Museum

Zheng Wangling Museum

The Museum of Zheng Wang mausoleum site is located in the south-west of the eastern city of Zheng and Han. The whole area of the cemetery is about 500000 square meters. Xinzheng Municipal Administration of cultural relics conducted a drilling survey of the whole cemetery, and found that the tombs are extremely densely distributed, with a total number of more than 3000. The number of tombs is the largest among the spring and autumn cemeteries in China, and the density is extremely rare in the cemeteries of the same period in China, which can be described as a place without lying cattle.

a burial

There are more than 3000 spring and autumn tombs and 18 large and medium-sized chariot and horse pits in the mausoleum of King Zheng. Among them, there are nearly 180 large tombs more than 6 meters in length and 4 extra large tombs more than 20 meters in width. Once the site is excavated, there is no place for a cow to be buried among the underground cemeteries. The first phase of the project has been completed, covering an area of 54 mu. The main contents are "the excavated exhibition hall of No.1 Che Ma Keng, exhibition hall of No.3 Che Ma Keng, Zheng Gong Zhong's large-scale tomb, some large and medium-sized tombs of Zheng Guo's doctor, ground display area of Ma Keng, viewing platform, leisure square, gallery and landscape wall reflecting the cultural characteristics of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.". Among them, No. 1 Chema pit was excavated in April 2001, with 20 luxury and practical vehicles and many horse bones buried inside; Zheng cemetery and Zheng doctor's tomb are still under excavation.

Exhibition hall 1

The first exhibition hall is the excavation site of the large tomb with Chinese characters. The excavation of the large tomb with Chinese characters started in August 2002. It is the first large tomb with tomb passage excavated in the spring and Autumn period. The south passage is 20.85 meters long, and the north passage is 10 meters long. There are three coffins and one coffin. Among the tombs of the princes of the spring and Autumn Period excavated all over the country, the three-story coffin is extremely rare. Zhuangzi Tianxia and Xunzi lilun both said: "the coffin of the emperor is seven, the vassal is five, the official is three, and the scholar is two." The three coffins and two coffins of this tomb are exactly in line with the records, thus confirming that this is a tomb of the monarch of the state of Zheng.

Collection

Burial cart

There are a large number of practical burial vehicles in the north and south passage of this tomb. Moreover, the vehicles are of various shapes and decorations, all of which are carwreck burials. At present, 40 kinds of vehicles have been found in the South tomb road and 5 in the North Tomb road. Most of these cars are painted in reddish brown. There are 45 vehicles in the passage of the tomb, and the number of vehicles is the most in the excavated tombs in China. It is a rare vehicle spectacle in the spring and Autumn period. What is rare is that precious vehicles such as ivory dragon decorated vehicles, bronze decorated vehicles, bone carving vehicles, ivory decorated vehicles, building vehicles and painted pattern vehicles were found in these vehicles. Most of them were first found in China, which completely corresponded to "Wang Zhi Wu Lu" recorded in Zhouli chunguan Jinche. These vehicles are the highest level and most elegant Zheng vehicles found in the excavation.

Zheng Guojun was an earl. According to the ritual system of Zhou Dynasty, the emperor could not be buried in a graveway. However, this tomb has both broad North and South graveways, and there are also broad vehicles in the graveway, which does not correspond to the status of the Dukes of Zheng State. It reflects the objective phenomenon that the emperor has "violated" the rites of Zhou Dynasty. If we add up the number of burial vehicles in the No. 3 and No. 2 chariot pits, the total number of vehicles may be more than 100, which is undoubtedly too luxurious for the state of Zheng, which was known as the "Kingdom of thousand riders" at that time. On the other hand, it shows that the reign of this monarch may also be a relatively strong period of Zheng State. About 7 meters to the east of the tomb, a 25 meter long large tomb with a shape of a nail has been found. It is the second tomb with a passage found in the tomb of the state of Zheng. It may be the tomb of the monarch's wife.

In addition, archaeologists found that this is a cast iron site in South Korea. After Han destroyed Zheng, he built a large-scale official workshop in the capital, where he dug and burned Zheng's main tomb to break the historical scene of fengshui, which deliberately reflected the fear of Zheng's restoration after the change of dynasty. To the south of this tomb, there are some tombs of Korean disabled people and children.

There are more than 3000 tombs of the state of Zheng 2700 years ago, including the world-famous "chariot and horse pit", where 21 of the 22 monarchs of the state of Zheng were buried. The number of tombs is the largest among the spring and autumn tombs found in China, and the density of tombs is extremely rare in the same period of China, which can be described as a place without lying cattle. In particular, there is no precedent for the discovery of chemacheng group with various specifications in spring and autumn tombs. If a large area of chemacheng is excavated, the grand occasion will be another grand stage to show the glorious civilization of ancient China after the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang.
