The archaeological team wanted to dig the ancestral tomb but was blocked by their descendants. Why is it said that the tomb 800 years ago now belongs to the country?

Personally, I believe that with the development of the times, more and more countries are beginning to pay attention to national history and culture. China has a long history of five thousand years, and even one dynasty has a history longer than some countries. In terms of history and culture, China is indeed the leader.

But if it is only recorded in books, much history is incomplete, so sometimes people need to use the funerary objects in ancient tombs to further understand ancient times. Archaeologists work in this profession.

A few years ago, a tomb-related incident occurred in Taizhou, Zhejiang. At that time, a villager was digging the foundation of a new house. Unexpectedly, two black coffins were dug out after the construction. The villagers were shocked and immediately called the police. After the experts heard this, they immediately picked up their tools and organized personnel to rush to the site and start digging. At this time, a man stopped the digging with a book in his hand. It turned out that the book in his hand was a local genealogy. Why did he bring the family tree to prevent the excavation?

This is about the intangible cultural heritage left by China for thousands of years. A family tree is a book that records the history of a family in the form of a genealogy. China has respected the elderly since ancient times, and Qingming Festival is a traditional and important Spring Festival. During the Qingming Festival, sweeping tombs, offering sacrifices, and remembering ancestors are fine traditions left by the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Although we all advocate materialism and oppose feudalism and superstition, it is a culture in our country. It can not only promote filial piety and awaken the common memory of the family, but also promote the cohesion and identity of family members and even the nation. The Chinese have always attached great importance to burials. Elderly people will choose a cemetery that suits them as early as possible and also consider various issues such as Feng Shui. They even believed that graves would affect future generations. If the ancestral graves are destroyed, the Qi of future generations will be affected.

A few years ago, this coffin was excavated by Emperor Kuangzi of the Song Dynasty! The discovery made experts very excited, saying they could not unearth some cultural relics that shocked the world. Just as they were about to dig deeper, someone with a family tree stopped them. The reason is that this is a person's ancestral grave. According to the genealogy, he did not allow experts to excavate his family's ancestral graves. If his family would be affected.

Experts carefully checked the genealogy and found that he was actually a descendant of the tomb owner. The experts were speechless for a moment. However, experts later told the man that the ancient tomb had a long history and was 800 years old. According to Chinese law, this place does not belong to individuals but to the state, so men do not own it. Experts are determined to dig their graves, a phrase that means men obstructing law enforcement. Finally, after negotiation and mediation, the man agreed to dig the grave.

After excavation and verification, more than 70 pieces of precious cultural relics including clothing and accessories were unearthed from the cemetery, which is currently the most complete "Crown of Song Dynasty Clothing".
