In the winter of 1956, a farmer living in Zhangjiadu, Zhejiang Province (China) accidentally found a "huge" treasure . The incident happened when he took advantage of his free days to go up the mountain to get stones to build a pig pen to raise pigs. |
Accordingly, every day, he carried a pickaxe and shovel up the mountain to collect stones and bring them home. One day, he discovered a pile of strange stones with flower patterns on each stone slab that looked quite beautiful. |
At first, he didn't care about it, so he picked up a pickaxe and broke the rocks into small pieces to make it easier to carry home. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound after breaking the rock. When he looked closely, he saw a shiny yellow object inside the rock. |
The man quickly dug it out, wiped off the dirt on the artifact and realized it was a piece of jewelry crafted from gold. |
Therefore, he decided to continue digging because he thought that there were many other gold artifacts "sleeping" underground. Thanks to that, he found more than 10 gold artifacts and some other items made of jade. |
The news that he found many ancient artifacts while climbing the mountain quickly spread. Many people brought tools to dig up the mountain in the hope of finding valuable artifacts that would help them "change their lives". Indeed, they found some valuable artifacts. |
After learning the news, authorities and archaeologists arrived at the scene and determined that the location where the man found valuable artifacts was an ancient tomb. They identified the owner of the ancient tomb as Wang Shiqi - a wealthy official of the Ming Dynasty. |
According to historical records, after his death, Vuong The Ky was only given a simple burial because his family was not wealthy. However, a few years after this official's death, King Thien Khai ascended the throne and had the tomb of this upright official restored and also gave many valuable items to be buried with Vuong The Ky. Therefore, this official's tomb has many valuable artifacts. |
To recover the artifacts, experts have promoted and mobilized people to hand over the artifacts they have found because they are cultural relics. Thanks to that, they collected 107 gold artifacts such as crowns and items made from silver, jade... By 1995, more than 100 artifacts were recognized by the State as national antiques. |
