Recently, a complete tomb of the early Western Han Dynasty was found in the Dabaozi cemetery in Jingyang. Nearly 100 precious cultural relics, such as bronzes, jade articles, painted pottery (pottery figurines), have been unearthed, and the excavation work is still in progress. Nearly 100 pieces of bronzes, jades and pottery were unearthed from M68 tomb.

Archaeology is more than just digging graves. In fact, archaeology includes many contents, not only the excavation of ancient tombs, but also the comprehensive and scientific restoration and protection of ancient culture. This is the real content of archaeology.

Many of our own pasts are lost in the historical world. Only by understanding our own history can we know ourselves more clearly. People often feel all kinds of puzzles, from the almost unsolvable question of the value of life to the trivial matter of what to eat next time, which actually happened in the past history. When we look for solutions, there is almost only one mode of thinking that refers to past experience. No matter our own or others' complete innovation exists.

In the historical period, archaeology also played an important and irreplaceable role. Historians use handed down documents to restore history, which has its own limitations, while archaeology uses unearthed objects to restore history, speak for the dead and revive the dead. History and archaeology are two wheels of generalized history, and the wings of birds provide information about the life of our ancestors and enrich the historical memory of our nation. People should look forward and face the future, not only step by step, but also look back at the road they have traveled.

It is precisely because the motive force of destroying underground cultural relics mainly comes from infrastructure that the protection of buried cultural relics by current laws limits the earth-breaking activities in this area. The problem is that underground cultural relics cannot be directly observed. Where is the location? What is the scope? What makes it a cultural relic? How valuable is it? If you don't know what the object is, of course, protection and utilization are impossible. The only way to answer these questions is archaeology. It is precisely because of archaeology that we can protect a large number of sites (the excavated area only accounts for a small part of 1 site area, and the rest can be protected in situ), or ensure the peace of the ancients to the greatest extent.
