On February 3, the Sui Yang Emperor Mausoleum Ruins Park was opened for trial operation. In the past month, the final burial place of Yang Guanghe and Empress Xiao has aroused great interest from the general public and tourists, and has become the new "Internet celebrity" of Yangzhou cultural tourism this spring.
On online communication platforms such as Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and **hao, the name "Landed Crown" has long been passed down by word of mouth, and the museum's "Thousand Autumns - Sui Dynasty History Exhibition" and "Exploration of the Emperor's Tomb - Sui Yang Emperor's Archaeological Achievements Exhibition" are the focus of the lens.
Which building does the "Crown" refer to? What kind of tomb form does this design reflect in ancient times? What ingenuity and ingenuity of the designers and builders are hidden in the building as a whole? What are the museum's heavyweight exhibits? Where is the "check-in place" in the minds of netizens? Our reporter will reveal them for you one by one.
Appearance: Floor-to-ceiling crown
The "Crown" refers to the ruins of the Emperor's Tomb located at the core of the Sui Yang Emperor's Mausoleum Ruins Park. The building covers an area of 5,765 square meters, with a length and width of nearly 80 meters and a height of 1595 meters, the appearance is generally in the form of a small upper and lower large "covered bucket" - this shape is the common shape of sealing soil in large mausoleums in the Sui and Tang dynasties. From the four facades, it shows the shape of the highest level of roof of the ancient building - the top of the palace, hence the name.
The special aluminum plate tile roof covering the entire imperial tomb site is the most important, creative and recognizable modeling element of the imperial tomb site. Different from the traditional arrangement of tiles along the slope, all the tiles on the imperial tomb site are standing upright, so that when viewed from the air, the image of "water ripples" and "fish scales" will appear, like water ripples, row upon row.
It is worth mentioning that the custom aluminum tiles that constitute the skin of the building, and the small corner behind each piece is engraved with the words "Sui Shizu" in simplified block letters. "Shizu" is a relatively neutral temple name, indicating reverence for historical ancestors.
Interior: Diagram of the stars in the dome
The design concept in the imperial tomb site is "the sky is round and the place is round". The round sky is a celestial view in ancient times. Due to the lack of scientific knowledge, the ancients believed that the sky was like a canopy and round in shape; The ground is like a chessboard, square in shape; The combination of the two is the balance of yin and yang, and the complementarity of movement and static.
Entering the ruins of the emperor's tomb, the first thing you see is the star map on the dome, because China is in the northern hemisphere, so the ancients studied the Big Dipper in astronomy. The Beidou revolves around the North Star, and in ancient times, the four seasons could be identified by the handle, so the status of the North Star is very high. The purple microstar in the center is the Imperial Star. The ceiling design places Zi Weixing in the center, facing the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui below.
There are also 13 small square windows of different sizes around the roof. The position and angle of these windows are determined by precise calculations to ensure that at a specific time on a specific day, the winter solstice, the summer solstice, and the death of Emperor Yang of Sui, the sunlight shines through the windows just over the tombs of Emperor Yang of Sui and Empress Xiao.
On the ground under the sacred starry sky, rammed earth about 50 meters square is presented to the world in its original state. The tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui is located in the center of the mound, and the tomb of Empress Xiao is located on its southeast side. Standing on the boardwalk, you can observe the structure of the two tombs up close.

The remaining inscriptions show that "the emperor collapsed in Yangzhou Jiangdu County" and "Yuliuzhu Hall", that is, most of the contents of the first burial of Emperor Yang of Sui in Liuzhu Hall, the reburial of Wugongtai, Leitang and so on are consistent with the official historical records, but the final burial time does not coincide with the official history, the epitaph is the first year of Zhenguan, and the document is the fifth year of Wude. This epitaph is the most direct and important evidence of the owner of the tomb.
Thirteen rings of gold and jade belts
Unearthed in the No. 1 tomb, it is the only set of the most complete set of thirteen-ring gold and jade belts unearthed in China so far, and it is also the highest level found so far, the emperor's royal belt, filling a gap in the archaeological history of ancient Chinese public service.

The belt was popular in the Northern Dynasties region, and the thirteen-ring gold and jade belt was the highest grade of the belt system. The belt represents different levels in the official uniform, and the amount of material and number of decorations on the belt also represents the level of status.
Gilt copper paving
The head of the shop is composed of three parts: animal face, button and ring, which is cast for the mold and gilded throughout. The diameter of the beast face is 26 cm, which is the same size as the Tang Dynasty shop head unearthed in Daming Palace in Xi'an. The overall shape is majestic, the lines are rich, and it has the typical artistic characteristics of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Presumably, it may have been used for palace construction.
Chimes chimes
Chimes and chimes were court instruments in the Sui and Tang dynasties. The Book of Sui? **Zhixia": "Two bells, small bells also, each should be the law of Lu, the size of the second, the weaving and hanging, up and down are eight, together with sixteen bells, hanging in a string. The "Old Tang Book" recorded: "After Gaozu ascended to the pole, he enjoyed the banquet because of the old Sui system, with the pleasure of nine parts, and then divided into two parts. "Bells and chimes are the honorable instruments of musical instruments, and their use is strictly hierarchical.

The crown decoration is finely crafted, the combination is complex, it is composed of hat wall, golden flower, hairpin (hairpin), hairpin, wing wings, etc., 13 flower trees, bosideburns on both sides, gilt ornaments, inlaid with pearls and jade. Flowers and trees swaying, the hairpin shines, this is a very high level of ceremonial crown, with a strong symbol of etiquette, the highest level of status can only be enjoyed, but also an important evidence of the identity of the Empress Xiao.
Jade
Tomb No. 2 was unearthed, in the form of a flat rectangular body, with an oblique blade at one end, made of Hetian jade, 27-22 long7 cm, width 39 cm, thickness 08 cm. The jade zhang shows that the identity and status of the owner of the tomb are extremely high.
