📍Tuishan Han Tomb
Known as the Oriental Pyramid and the real version of Tomb Robbers' Notes, the Guishan Han Tomb is truly a place where you can feel the wisdom of the ancients!
🕋Built in 127 BC, the horizontal cave cliff-style tomb is built on the mountain and was excavated by hand. It took 13 years to complete. It is the tomb of Liu Zhu, the sixth king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty. The corridor is 56 meters long and has a total area of more than 700 square meters. There are 15 tombs in total. According to the living conditions of the King of Chu, the front hall, armory, stables, music and dance hall, washroom, and carriage and horse warehouse are all available.
🎭The front hall of the King of Chu is located in the center of the entire tomb. It adopts a pillar structure, and the central stone pillar is exactly on the central axis of the north-south corridor. There is a shadow mural of "King of Chu Welcoming Guests" on the north wall of the coffin chamber of the King of Chu. This shadow was gradually formed after the tomb was opened, and there is no trace of water seepage outside the shadow, which is puzzling.
🏺The unearthed national first-class cultural relic Liu Zhu silver seal, with the two characters "Liu Zhu" in small seal script, is the private seal of King Liu Zhu of Chu. The singing and dancing pottery figurines are all women, with their sleeves swinging with the dance posture, dancing gracefully, recreating the grand scene of singing and dancing performances in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
❓ Mystery of precision: The two corridors were excavated along the center line, with a maximum deviation of only 5 mm. If they were extended infinitely to the west, their intersection would be located in Xi'an, 1,000 kilometers away. According to the technical level at that time, how to build such a corridor is still a mystery.
❓ The mystery of the stone plug: The southern corridor is blocked by 26 stones, divided into two layers, with 13 stones in each layer, each weighing 6-7 tons, and the seams between the stones are so tight that even a coin can hardly be stuffed in. How the ancients transported these huge stones and stuffed them into the corridor is puzzling.
