daily daily news May 26th (reporter Guo Xuejun Intern Zheng Xingkui) a day ago, the Archaeological Institute of Ji'nan city conducted an archaeological excavation on the Kaiyuan Plaza site in the Hunan side of Daming. As a result, five or six meters below the surface of the earth, archaeologists excavated an ancient road from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty and four song ditches. Witnessed the early Tang and Song Dynasties, the city of Ji'nan is rich in water resources, with "small bridges and rivers" landscape.
six meters underground, unearthed the ancient road of the Tang and Song Dynasties
"this area is located in the northwest of the ancient city of Ji'nan City, on the Hunan side of Daming, the west close to the moat, and in the underground cultural relic protection area of Ji'nan." On the afternoon of 26, at the site of the archaeological site, Dr. Yan Feng, Dr. Yan Feng of the Ji'nan City Archaeological Institute, took a view with a reporter, and said that the excavation began in May 6th and ended on the 26 day. In addition to some artifacts found in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the most important thing is the discovery of many relics in the Tang and Song dynasties.
"you see, this is an ancient road in the Tang and Song dynasties. It moves north-south, about 6.2 meters deep from the present surface and 2.1 meters wide." Dr. Tong Yanfeng told reporters that the ancient road is divided into two layers, the upper soil is hard, the thickness is about 0.2 meters, and the age is from the Tang Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty. The lower soil is hard, with a thickness of about 0.2 meters, and the time is about the Tang Dynasty. In the middle of the ancient road, there are two ancient ruts which are parallel to 50 centimeters apart, about 0.1 meters deep and 0.2 meters wide. They should be formed by long-term rolling.
"the 6 meters underground Tang and song ancient road has been formed in the Tang Dynasty and has been used in Song Dynasty." Dr Tong Yanfeng said that two long rutting ruts, like the traces of historical wheels, have truly witnessed the location of Ji'nan city more than 1000 years ago.
water gully of the Song Dynasty witnessed the abundance of water in Ji'nan at that time
according to Dr. Tong Yanfeng, in addition to the ancient road, they were still about 5.3 meters below the surface of the present earth, and found 4 song ditches. Three of the gullies are north-south, which are naturally formed, and a large number of pottery and a few pieces of porcelain are unearthed. Another ditch is east-west, which is made of green bricks, and should be a drainage facility.
reporter saw that the depth of the north and South trenches is about 1 meters, and the width is about 1 meters. The East and West brick canals are about 3.6 meters long, about 0.2 meters high, and about 0.5 meters wide, and are built by three layers of brick, and the bottom is paved with bricks. It is almost perpendicular to the North South trending, and the western end plane is roughly parallel to the North South trending, and the west to the East and the Lower East should be used for diversion from west to East.
"4 excavations in the Song Dynasty proved that this area was rich in water in the Song Dynasty." Dr. Tong Yanfeng said that there were 3 north-south tritches within the range of 10 meters above the ground in the Song Dynasty, indicating that the area was not only wide in flow but also in considerable flow.
thick silt indicates that the environment changed greatly after the Yuan Dynasty
but the thickest is the second layer in the middle, which is a dark black mud layer. Its thickness is about 3 meters, and it is about 2.2 meters from the present surface. It lasted from Song Dynasty to Republic of China, and lasted for a long time. In the mud there are not only a large number of aquatic animals, such as mussels and shells, but also a small amount of gray tiles and tiles. Dr. Tong Yanfeng analyses that during the early formation of the silt layer, it was likely to be related to the flood in the region, and the artifacts of the Han and earlier periods were found at the bottom of the silt layer, which was determined to be formed by floodwaters to alluvial the objects from other local strata in the vicinity. "
" this excavation has not found the remains of the yuan to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all of which are silt layers, indicating that after the Yuan Dynasty, this has become a lower pool of water. " Dr. Tong Yanfeng said that this archaeological excavation provided direct evidence for the "bridge and flowing water" scene in Ji'nan early in the Tang and Song dynasties.
