The ancient tombs excavated on the Tsinghua campus this time were civilian tombs from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The biggest impact of the discovery of the ancient tomb on Tsinghua University is that it has become a hot search again, attracting more attention.
On May 31, Tsinghua University was on the hot search again. Because a group of ancient tombs were discovered when the school was building a new building, 16 tombs have been excavated. As a result, the news that Tsinghua University has officially joined the "Tulu Sect" of colleges and universities has attracted attention.
But after a quick search on the Internet, we will find that many colleges and universities have also excavated ancient tombs. Mainly concentrated in universities in Xi'an and Nanjing. After all, these two places were ancient imperial capitals. Therefore, the ancient tombs discovered in universities in Xi'an and Nanjing are often large in number and of high level.
For example, there is an imperial-level tomb hidden on the campus of Nanjing University. In the book "Cultural Relics of the Six Dynasties", two Six Dynasties archaeologists, Luo Zongzhen and Wang Zhigao, pointed out that the owner of the Eastern Jin Tomb in Nanda Beiyuan was probably Sima Rui, the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor Yuan of Jin Dynasty.
There is a joke circulating on the Internet, "If a university in Xi'an does not dig out an ancient tomb when building a new campus, it will be embarrassed to say that it is a school in Xi'an." Some netizens joked that they "The feeling of going to class is as heavy as visiting a grave."
