What is the story of this tomb? What does it look like now? Where is the original gold crown? On July 11, the reporter followed the 2022 Silk Road Zhouqinghai Road Inspection Troupe to Delingha, Wulan and other places in Qinghai, to see the true appearance of the Golden Crown, and went to the real tomb of the real Ulan Quangou to explore Qinghai. The prosperity of the Tao.

A few hours of long -distance running did not bring the slightest tiredness, but continued to increase the curiosity in my heart. The recovery golden crown displayed in the China Silk Museum can be called a magnificent, and pearls and turquoise are even more reflected. What kind of visual experience will the real treasure bring?

As soon as the plane, the delegation went straight to the Haixi Public Security Bureau. It turned out that the Golden Crown was not hidden in the museum or hidden in the archeological office, but was stored in the insurance room of the Public Security Bureau. Ma Chengzhang, the captain of the special police detachment of the Haixi Public Security Bureau, carefully turned the insurance door. After entering a insurance room, there was a insurance door, and the golden crown was hidden behind the door. Both doors need to be identified.

The reporter learned that when the Golden Crown was excavated at the archeological site, the local police force immediately transported it to the Public Security Bureau to save it. Later, in order to further ensure the safety of storage, the Haixi Public Security Bureau has added anti -theft systems and special thickness insurance rooms. Next door to the insurance room, the guns and ammunition in the game are stored.

The last door was opened, and the lights also lit up. The center of the insurance room standing with a display cabinet, which was called the cultural relics, called the dragon and phoenix lion pattern, lying quietly. This is the funeral item that was accidentally discovered from the wall of the tomb of No. 1 in Wulanquangou.

Tongtao, a researcher at the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences participating in the excavation of the tomb, introduced that the dragon and phoenix lion pattern gilt gold crown is square, and in front of it is a crown skewed by pearls. In the middle of the main body, many silk is decorated as a hood. The rear of the crown is a neck with two symmetrical lion patterns on it, symbolizing power. On both sides of the main body, there are dragon patterns, which are relatively rare during the Tubo period and have greatly affected Tang.

"Nine days, the palace is opened, and the nation's clothes are crowned." The crowns of pearls have been dispersed, and the silk has eroded the color because of the years, and the gemstone has fallen into a few. The collection, let us feel the eternal charm of ancient civilization exchanges. This charm will not decrease due to the loss of utensils, and it will be even more brilliant due to the passage of time.

The golden crowns displayed at the "West Sea Changyun" exhibition are also designed by Tongtao and related teams to discuss with the China Silk Museum online for more than two months, and repeatedly confirmed the details on the drawing. In the end of. "I also want to go to the exhibition site, and see what the crown after recovery is like." Tongtao said.

So, what is the tomb of the golden crown? This tomb, which was restored by the "West Sea Changyun" exhibition at 1: 1, is the famous Tomb of Wulanquangou, the famous Wulanquangou. It was rescued in 2018. It is the first time the Tubo mural tomb discovered on the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau. In the year "Top Ten Archaeological Discovery in the country".

In fact, mural tombs are very popular in Han culture, but they are extremely rare in the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau, especially during the Tubo period, and this type of tomb decoration is not popular. The paintings of murals are both Tangfeng, but also the nomadic nomadic national characteristics of the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau, which also shows the uniqueness of the tomb No. 1 in Wulanquangou. Archaeologists discovered the crown of hidden in the dark grid when they transferred the entire tomb and removed the wall. There is no precedent in this "treasure" form in archeological history of China and the world. One does not pay attention, this cultural relic may always be sealed in the wall.

So, what is the archeological scene of the tomb No. 1 in Wulanquan Gou?

The long -distance car drove away from Haixi Prefecture and passed through Delingha. The grass on the high -cold grassland seemed to be a dotted mold in the dine, and the desolate mountains in the distance seemed to be a large body of the ancient giant beast. When the vehicle arrives in Ulan, there are a lot of mounds around. The Tomb No. 1 Tomb of Quangou is under a pile.

The delegation walked towards the top of the mound. After a warning sign and green wire with "cultural relics", a deep pit of 10 meters long, 8 -meter -wide, and deep 10 meters appeared in front of everyone. Tongtao said that large and small tombs are distributed in Quangou, and they are unrelated. But these tombs have a common feature, which is to sit on the mountains.

On the scene of the No. 1 tomb of Wulanquangou, anti -theft stone

At the scene, the most noticeable of the tomb of Quangou No. 1 was the cobblestone built on the wall of the walls. The tomb has maintained the original appearance, and there are steps made of cobblestone, which leads to the ground level. Not far from the tomb, there are nearly two meters high stacks piled up with various big pebbles. It was a large amount of anti -theft stone accumulated on the top of the tomb.

Where did these pebbles come from?

The vicissitudes of the sea. 280 million years ago, today's Qinghai -Tibet Plateau was a turbulent ocean. This sea area runs through the southern region of Eurasia, and communicates with the waters of North Africa, Southern Europe, West Asia, and Southeast Asia. These cobblestones are proven by the ocean.
