Cultural and Museum Calendar | Watching a "Giant Screen Film" spanning thousands of years Kaifeng | Ruins | Movies
This wall was transported from Kaifeng
Talking about the vicissitudes of the Grand Canal
Witnessed the changes of various dynasties
In 2014, the Grand Canal became
46th World Heritage Project in China
Tomorrow is Cultural and Natural Heritage Day
Let's get to know the profile of Bianhe River together
Dig and dig at the Zhouqiao Site
The section of Bianhe River has been moved into a museum
Bianhe section, from the Kaifeng Zhouqiao site
It is currently the largest excavated soil site profile in China
Occupying an entire wall, comparable to a giant screen movie
The excavation site of Kaifeng Zhouqiao Site.
Bianhe section
Born in Kaifeng and settled in Yangzhou
In 2018, local archaeologists in Kaifeng
Proactive archaeological excavations were carried out on the Zhouqiao site
On the east side of the main body of Zhouqiao
Discovered the Bianhe Site, which is approximately 150 meters long
Just "dig, dig, dig"
When I dug more than ten meters
The accumulation of Bianhe River channel from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty
It has been fully revealed
Digging out many cultural relics and relics from the accumulation of river channels
Pottery, porcelain, animal bones, house sites, water wells, etc
At archaeological sites
Archaeologists adopt a segmented method tailored to local conditions
Divide the cross-section of the Bianhe River into more than 180 sections and number them to expose them
Next, at the Grand Canal Museum
The fragmented section of Bianhe River has been moved into the exhibition hall
According to the order of extraction
Connecting left and right, fitting up and down
In the end, the huge Bian River profile appeared before our eyes
How to understand the profile?
This wall is filled with the "sediment" of time
The section of Bianhe River not only has a super large area, but also
And with a long time span and rich information content
In order to visually display and accurately express the historical value of Bian River
Archaeologists on this wall
Made a lot of "annotations"
Bianhe River Profile Based on Archaeological Sites
Using the expression of "stratigraphy"
Use white string to distinguish reasonably
The accumulation of various layers in the Bianhe section
Combined with the cultural relics features contained within each layer of accumulation
Corresponding to the dynasty formed by classification
The profile map of Bian River at the Zhouqiao Site reveals the development and evolution process of the Grand Canal from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty.
From top to bottom
From the depth of the profile and the quantity of deposits
Can be clearly seen
The Changes of Bian River in the Five Dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing
Bian River is a very important section of the Grand Canal
Excavated in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties
The Yuan and Ming dynasties gradually declined, and by the end of the Ming dynasty, they were completely silted up and abandoned
Use the white line rope to distinguish the dynasties to which each layer of the Bianhe section belongs.
The accumulation during the Tang and Song dynasties presented a pot bottom shape
At that time, Bian River was an important waterway
The busy waterways are the foundation of a country's establishment
Therefore, there are many sediment deposits in the river channel
In the Yuan Dynasty, the accumulation was shallow and few
It was because at that time, the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal was cut and straightened
The scenery of Bian River is no longer beautiful
Slowly losing its position as a "national transportation artery"
And the accumulation in the Ming Dynasty gradually flattened and became the deepest
During the late Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River flooded
The Bian River gradually fills with silt and becomes narrower and narrower
Therefore, the accumulated cultural relics are few and the deepest
Layers of sand and soil, pieces of cultural relics
It is the time "password" of the millennium change of Bianhe River
Six ancient cities are buried here
Recorded the historical context of Bian River
The section of Bianhe River was excavated at the Kaifeng Zhouqiao site
Due to war and the flooding of the Yellow River
In history, Kaifeng
Has been buried by mud and sand multiple times
Therefore, the Zhouqiao Site goes from bottom to top
Six ancient cities are buried in sequence
Wei Daliang City, Tang Bianzhou City, Northern Song Tokyo City
Jinbian Capital, Ming Kaifeng, Qing Kaifeng
Therefore, many cultural relics, specimens, and relics have been piled up
At present, the Zhouqiao Site has
More than 60000 cultural relics specimens have been unearthed
Discovered 117 archaeological sites and relics from different periods
Time span exceeds a thousand years
A section of Bian River was excavated on the east side of the site
On the west side, Song Dynasty stone carvings and auspicious murals have been discovered on the embankment
It is currently discovered in China
The largest stone carving mural of the Northern Song Dynasty
Carved on the stone wall
Relief decorations such as seahorses, auspicious beasts, cranes and birds
Approximately 3.3 meters high, with a total length of approximately 30 meters, it forms a giant scroll
Reproduced the scenic beauty of the Northern Song Dynasty's "Dream of Tokyo"
Excavation of Zhouqiao Site
The first complete disclosure
The Morphology and Evolution of Bian River in Kaifeng City from Tang, Song and Qing Dynasties
Make the historical context of the Grand Canal civilization clearer
Provided archaeological evidence for the study of the evolution history of the Grand Canal
The Grand Canal has a total length of nearly 3200 kilometers
It is the longest and largest canal in the world
If the Great Wall is the backbone of the Chinese nation
The Grand Canal is a flowing bloodline
The Culture of the Millennium Grand Canal Flowing
After thousands of years
Numerous cultural heritage sites
Still glowing with new vitality and vigor
