Collection

It's the bones that are mostly plaster copies

Most of the unearthed cultural relics are kept in the Institute of archaeology

After being nationalized, Baoji pre Qin Mausoleum Museum has more responsibilities: not only to effectively protect the No.1 Tomb of Qin Gong, but also to be responsible for the protection and management of Yongcheng site, and to formulate and organize the implementation of relevant protection and utilization plans. Therefore, the museum quickened the pace of compiling the master plan for the protection of Yongcheng site, and used the state investment funds for a series of protection of Qin Gong No.1 tomb and Yongcheng site: the south slope of the tomb and the south wall of the passage were reinforced and protected twice before and after, and protective railings were added; the exhibition hall was rebuilt to broaden the display content; and the planting and cultural construction of the protection markers of Yongcheng site were completed The expansion of the security team and the implementation of the Qin Gong cemetery security technology prevention project, hardened the ground more than 5000 square meters, greening 15 mu on both sides of the East and West tomb road; the master plan for the protection of Yongcheng ruins and the design scheme of temporary shed for the protection and display of chemacheng have been repeatedly revised and demonstrated, and have been approved by the State Administration of cultural relics; the roof covering of Qin Gong No.1 tomb is also in active preparation .

In response to the online saying that "human bones are displayed in the open air and covered with snow", the museum responded that in 2012, it organized relevant organizations to demonstrate the cover of the tomb shed. Finally, due to the large funding gap, it could not be implemented. The approval of the master plan for the protection of Yongcheng site further created conditions for applying for the cover of the shed. As for the preservation of cultural relics unearthed from the tombs, they said that due to the limitation of cultural relics protection conditions at that time, after the excavation, Shaanxi Provincial Institute of archaeology left only four well preserved "huangchangticuo" coffin wood and wooden steles for exhibition in the exhibition room, and other cultural relics were brought back to the Institute for further research. In order to show the tragic scenes of the late spring and Autumn period and the unique "limb bending burial" style of the Qin people, most of the human bones in the tombs were copied with plaster, and some of them were collected from nearby earth pits.

Baoji pre Qin Mausoleum Museum is built on the site of Qin Gong No.1 tomb, which is the largest ancient tomb ever excavated in China. It is the first museum built by farmers in China with collective investment and protective development by farmers in nandui village, Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province. Due to financial and policy barriers, this private museum has encountered its own difficulties and problems from the beginning. In 2005, the State Administration of cultural relics and Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of cultural relics allocated more than 3.8 million yuan to Baoji pre Qin cemetery Museum for the protection of the site. Baoji municipal Party committee and municipal government have repeatedly conducted research and argumentation on the ownership and system of museums. According to the opinions of the cultural relics department, Baoji City officially put Baoji pre Qin cemetery museum under the jurisdiction of Baoji cultural relics bureau according to the general idea of protecting cultural relics resources and developing tourism industry, thus removing the institutional obstacles in the development of museums.

Development history

In 1977, the results of the excavation of Qin Gong's tomb No.1 occupied the "top five" in the history of Chinese archaeology, making Fengxiang famous at home and abroad.

Because of its great value, the state decided to invest more than 10 million yuan to build a museum of Qin Gong No.1 tomb to protect it 10 years after the excavation of Qin Gong No.1 tomb. Unfortunately, Qin Gong's tomb No.1 was ridiculed by the fate of "he Shengliang who was born Yu". Just as the Buddha finger relic of Famen Temple in Fufeng County of Baoji City was accidentally discovered, Shaanxi Province invested the protection funds in Famen temple first. The protection of Qin Gong's tomb No.1 was once stranded. Until 2000, more than 60 villagers in nanjinguan village, where No.1 Tomb of Qin Gong is located, spontaneously raised nearly one million yuan to build the first site protection Museum of Qin Gong, which was founded by farmers in China. After the completion of the museum, the situation is not optimistic. It is understood that the operation of a museum needs huge financial support. In addition to the early investment, the later operation and maintenance is also a large expense. Capital has become the biggest bottleneck for the development of the museum. Coupled with poor management, the development of the museum is very difficult.

In fact, most museums can apply for protection funds through project approval, but the Museum of Qin Gong No.1 tomb site can not get special funds due to system problems. In 2005, the State Administration of cultural relics and the Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of cultural relics allocated more than 3.8 million yuan for the protection of the site of the tomb. However, when the money arrived in Baoji, it didn't come down because it was a private museum. After several years of hard work, the government finally received the good news of nationalization in 2007. On September 18, 2007, the Museum of Qin Gong No.1 tomb site was nationalized and renamed Baoji pre Qin cemetery Museum.
