Liu Bi's Tomb Relics
There is no definite conclusion about Liu Bi's tomb, but it is speculated that the Han tomb in Miaoshan may be Liu Bi's tomb. Long-pole weapons of the Han Dynasty were unearthed in the archaeological excavation of the tombs of the Han Dynasty jointly operated by Yizheng (located 1000 meters northwest of the Han tombs in Miaoshan). For example, the tomb owner of M59 was Fan Xuqi, a marquis-level general of the Western Han Dynasty, and a spear with a black lacquer handle of more than 2 meters was unearthed. The Han Pi handle unearthed from M76 Zhuang Zhongru's tomb was a bamboo pole (the composite handle of Pi was broken). A 1.6-meter-long wooden practice spear was unearthed from M88. These unearthed cultural relics can provide certain reference for speculating the possible existence of cultural relics in Liu Bi's tomb. However, more archaeological discoveries were needed to determine the exact situation of Liu Bi's tomb. Read more exciting novels for free

Tomb Traps, Relics
In the culture of tombs, traps were often set up in tombs to protect cultural relics from being plundered by grave robbers. For example, in the Chu Tomb in Guozhuang, Henan Province, the owner of the tomb used a special structure to prevent theft. The tomb was filled with fine sand, which was designed to be a trap to prevent grave robbers. Despite being robbed eighteen times by grave robbers, the treasures in the tomb were still dazzling due to the obstruction of quicksand. There were also some powerful or wealthy people in ancient times who would build traps in the tomb. For example, there were holes in ancient tombs, but there were also cases where none of the cultural relics were lost in ancient tombs. This might be the protection of traps in the tomb or tomb. However, as time passed, even with these traps, some ancient tombs could not completely avoid the fate of being stolen, but they did play a role in protecting cultural relics to a certain extent. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Family Tomb Relics
Family graves may contain cultural relics. For example, Wang Shixian's family tomb was the most complete tomb group of the Yuan Dynasty discovered in China. After six excavation from 1972 to 1990, a total of 29 tombs were cleared, with a total area of about 30,000 square meters. More than 820 sets of cultural relics of various types were unearthed, including many national first-class cultural relics. Huainan King Liu An's family cemetery was a key cultural relic. An environmental improvement project had been approved, with a total investment of about 50 million yuan. However, there was controversy over whether the family tomb was recognized as a cultural relic. Some people believed that if a family's ancestor's tomb could be proved to be their ancestral property, it should not be recognized as a cultural relic. For example, during the Qing Dynasty, their ancestors were the tombs of local prefects and county magistrates. The family members believed that this was the family's ancestral property, and the cultural relic protection unit's practice of treating it as a cultural relic protection was not appropriate for the family members. This was because from a legal point of view, one could not simply attribute all things of certain value underground to cultural relics. After all, there were many people buried underground. It would be difficult to explain if they were considered cultural relics after a hundred years. Whether a family tomb could become a cultural relic required a comprehensive consideration of many factors, including its historical value, cultural value, artistic value, archaeological value, etc. At the same time, it was also necessary to balance the relationship between the family rights and interests and the national cultural relics protection policy. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
