Cctv network information:Walking into Shaanxi History Museum "The Legacy of Datang — — In the exhibition hall of "Cultural Relics Unearthed from hejia village Cellar", you will see two pottery urns and a silver jar. What’s so special about them that they will be placed in such a conspicuous position? Let’s get to know each other.

Tang Dynasty is the heyday of ancient feudal society in China, and it is also the golden age in Shaanxi history. Brilliant achievements have been made in politics, economy and culture during this period. Chang ‘an in the Tang Dynasty, which is now Xi ‘an, left many precious cultural relics.

Hejia village cellar was discovered by accident in 1970 during the capital construction in hejia village, the southern suburb of Xi ‘an. There are more than 1,000 precious cultural relics in these two pottery urns and silver jars, which shocked the world with their large quantity, high grade, various types and well-preserved. It can be said that it is an unprecedented discovery of gold and silver vessels in the Tang Dynasty.

According to the actual measurement, the value of gold and silver wares and jade belts hoarded in hejia village was converted into 3 million tons of grain, equivalent to about 38.3 million yuan, which was equivalent to the rent millet paid by 1.5 million males to the Tang government at that time.

Who is the owner of the cellar? Why did he bury these treasures here? It can be said that since the excavation of the heritage treasure, the academic debate about the owner of the heritage treasure has never stopped. With the further development of research, Liu Zhen, a rentier, came into people’s sight. Liu Zhen was the rentier of Shangshu in Tang Dezong’s period, who was responsible for collecting rentier tunes and keeping supplies and stocks for the royal family. Will Liu Zhen collect the best things in the national treasury and carry them with him, and bury them in the case of Jingyang mutiny and unsuccessful escape? Finally, it became a mystery.

Hejia village’s hoard of treasures has been attracting the attention of the world since it was rediscovered. These traces of civilization, which bear the most splendid period of the Chinese nation, have been to more than 40 countries and regions in the world, so Chinese civilization and Tang culture have also spread all over the world for more people to understand and appreciate.
