In a remote village, "earthquakes" often occur, and the villagers responded to the higher authorities, which led to an amazing discovery. Why?
China has always attached great importance to funeral culture since ancient times. Rich and powerful families usually build a large tomb to show their identity and status before their death, so the business of tomb robbing has been derived. Tomb robbing is a job that you can eat for a lifetime, so many people have started to do it.
In 21, there were traces of grave robbers in Houguanzhuang Village, dadian town, Junan County, Shandong Province. Houguanzhuang Village is surrounded by hills in the north, surrounded by mountains and waters, and has beautiful scenery. It is also known as the Dragon Pier or the King's Tomb here. People say that there must be a big man buried here, and there must be a lot of funerary objects.
Although everyone is speculating, but no one has excavated it, it has been targeted by a group of grave robbers, who used explosives to blow up the ancient tomb many times, causing the villagers in Houguanzhuang to feel like an earthquake every day, so they reported the situation to the relevant departments.
In order to protect the cultural relics from being destroyed, relevant experts immediately carried out rescue excavation in this area. During the excavation work, experts saw that there were many stolen holes around the ancient tomb, and experts judged that the tomb should have been damaged to some extent. After intensive excavation, the ancient tomb finally reappeared in the world. There are traces of grave robbers.

It is an excellent treasure house of Feng Shui, also known as the Dragon Pier or the Tomb of the King. People say that there must be a big man buried here, and there must be a lot of funerary objects.
This is a sacrificial pit. There are 49 remains in the tomb. In addition, more than 1, cultural relics such as jade, stone tools and pottery have been found.
