Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-21

Liu He is the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who served as an emperor, a king, and a commoner, and finally died as a marquis.

It is not casual to say that one person through the ages, but Liu He of the Western Han Dynasty lives up to his name. Liu He was the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and although he only lived for 33 years in his life, he was an emperor, a king, and a commoner, and finally died as a marquis. To have four such different identities in a lifetime can be called one person through the ages.

There are only a few words in the historical records about the abolition of the Han Emperor Liu He. However, the discovery of Liu He's tomb really allows us to understand what it means to be a person through the ages. The tomb of Liu He, Marquis of Haiding, which was discovered and excavated in the 21st century, is one of China's most significant archaeological discoveries in the new century. This ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, which dates back 2,000 years, shows the wealth and extravagant tomb of this short-lived royal family. It is not uncommon in the history of our country to be rich and extremely luxurious, but it is very rare to have an ancient tomb that can be preserved well after two thousand years, which is another proof of the eternal person.

In the early autumn of last year, I went to Nanchang with my friends, and the focus was to visit the Nanchang Han Dynasty Haiyang Marquis Ruins Museum. In the past, the main ruins of the Han civilization were in Chang'an (Xi'an) and North China. The discovery of the tomb of the Marquis of Haihuang has broken this misconception, who would have thought that there would be such a grand Han tomb near Nanchang?

The Haiduhou Museum is located in the northeast of Nanchang City, about an hour's drive, and on non-busy holidays and weekends, you can buy tickets to enter at the entrance of the museum. The museum is a park-like building with a battery car as a means of transportation.

Liu He (92 BC – 59 BC) was the ninth emperor of the Han Dynasty, the grandson of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the son of Liu Ji, the king of Changyi. Liu He ascended the throne at the age of 19 and was deposed after only 27 days as emperor, known as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. "Hanshu Huo Guang Jin Ri Yan Biography" contains Liu He's "twenty-seven days since receiving the seal, the envoy is at noon, and the edict is levied and issued by the official offices, and all one thousand and twenty-seven things. "Do an average of 40 bad things a day! In fact, it was a group of old ministers who fabricated charges in order to abolish Liu He. Liu He returned to the fiefdom of Changyi (now Changyi, Shandong), cut off the king's name, and ate 2,000 households. In 63 B.C., Liu He was relegated to the area of Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province, and was named "Marquis of Haidu", and died four years later.

Liu He's tomb left an astonishing number and quality of cultural relics, the complete Western Han Dynasty Hailun Marquis Liu He tomb cemetery, the main tomb and three burial tombs, carriage and horse pits, ancestral halls, dormitories and other relics, unearthed all kinds of precious cultural relics more than 10,000 pieces (sets).

In fact, there have been tomb robbers coveting this Han tomb, they probably guessed that there are a lot of treasures in it, more than ten years ago the tomb robbers even opened the tomb door, was found by the nearby villagers, had to flee, it also attracted the attention of the archaeological department, so with the later archaeological excavations and discoveries, the largest Han tomb in the south was rediscovered.

Experts told us: "The Han Dynasty people paid attention to 'death is like life', and the functional partitions in the tomb symbolized different above-ground architectural spaces, and the hidden coffins reflected the daily life of the Hou Ye's 'East Sleep and West Hall'. The east and west sides of the coffin represent the bedroom and the reception room respectively, and the main coffin of Liu He, the imitation of Confucius's clothes mirror and Boshan furnace are placed respectively during the restoration and display. The naked-eye 3D technology is used to dynamically interpret and introduce the basic information of each section and its collections, so that people can immerse themselves in the archaeological relics and feel the true charm of cultural heritage.

As the basic display of the Nanchang Han Dynasty Haiyang Marquis Ruins Museum, the total area of the exhibition area is about 4,800 square meters, and more than 1,200 sets of fine cultural relics are displayed.

According to the records of historical materials of the Han Dynasty and the discovery of archaeological excavations, the museum uses wax figures and sand table models instead of text descriptions, which more intuitively shows the difficulty of building the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding. At the same time, the museum makes full use of new digital technology to break the barriers of time and space, and display the cultural relics and the cultural stories behind them in an all-round way. Underneath each exhibit, there is a *** to listen to the automatic audio commentary, even without leaving home, visitors can visit the VR virtual exhibition through the museum's official **.

Liu He has lived here for 4 years, and it seems that the abolished emperor is still the emperor. **It is not surprising that the statue of Confucius in the tomb **soil is the earliest so far. This year is the Year of the Dragon, and the image of the dragon can be seen in many places in the tomb of the Marquis of Haidu, and what is more valuable is the four-character phrase that appears in the tomb: Prepare for great blessings, which is also the first time in ancient texts. Year of the Dragon, great blessings! (He Liangliang).
