Xuzhou Guishan Han Tomb Surrounded by Mysteries

You must visit the famous Guishan Han Tomb in Xuzhou. One ticket can visit three attractions, in addition to Dianshi Garden and Xuzhou Imperial Edict Museum. First we came to the Guishan Han Tomb, which used the mountain as a mausoleum and carved out rooms in the mountain, almost hollowing out the entire mountain. It has many features. First of all, the tomb passage and corridor were excavated along the central axis with an error of no more than 5 mm and an accuracy of up to one ten-thousandth, which was confirmed by infrared measurement during the tour. Secondly, there are more than 10 tombs, which are the joint burial tombs of Liu Zhu, the King of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty, and his wife. The silver turtle-shaped seal unearthed in the tomb proves the identity of the tomb owner. Thirdly, the design here is extremely ingenious, with tomb passages, side chambers, armories, stables, coffin chambers, etc., especially the drainage system is very complete. You can see that the terrain has a natural slope and the design is perfect. Cultural relics unearthed from the Guishan Han Tomb include incense burners, singing and dancing pottery figurines and other precious cultural relics. Shadow mystery: a strange shadow appeared on the back wall of the tomb. This shadow was not there when the tomb was first discovered, but it appeared inexplicably later. This is a major unsolved mystery. There is also an ancient toilet built, of course made of stone. The carriages and horses of the King of Chu and the Queen are also different, with different specifications. There is a door between the two tombs, connecting the two tombs, which is also the style of the cemetery at that time. The most amazing thing is: on the first stone of the south corridor in the Guishan Han Tomb, there is an original text that reads: "The ancient corpse king of Chu was in touch with the heavens. He was buried with a coffin, but without any clay pots or other large vessels. He ordered all the ministers to take off their mourning clothes after the burial, and not to use any gold or jade objects. If the wise officials of later generations are fortunate enough to read this book, they will feel sad when they see this." The general meaning is: "Wise officials of future generations, although I am a buried King of Chu, I dare to swear to heaven that there are no luxurious clothes or valuable gold and jade in my tomb. It is just my coffin and bones. When you see this inscription, you will definitely feel sad for me, so there is no need for you to touch my tomb." From the above text, we can see how lovely this King of Chu is. In reality, he must be a very humorous person. Dianshi Garden: It has the graceful beauty of Jiangnan gardens, uses stone carving art as a carrier, and integrates brick carving and wood carving. There are numerous calligraphy steles inscribed with the emperor's imperial title, meritorious deeds, titles, and top scholar titles. These provide the best examples for calligraphy lovers, rather than just seeing the inscribed stele of Emperor Xianfeng. Xuzhou Imperial Edict Museum: China's first museum dedicated to the collection of imperial edicts. Imperial Edicts: There are hundreds of imperial edicts from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many plaques for top scholars. Detailed information about imperial examination relics and imperial examinations.
