Why is it called Luoyang shovel instead of Zhengzhou shovel or Xi'an shovel? Is it ancient or was it invented in the Republic of China? What is the magic of it? This question has 3 layers of connotation, the following specific:
First of all, similar to the Luoyang shovel spade, in fact, the Ming Dynasty; just the Republic of China was carried forward.
1, who invented the Luoyang shovel?
The most widely circulated theory is that Luoyang people Li Duck invented the Luoyang shovel. This person lived in the vicinity of Mangshan, born in 1873, died in 1950. 1932, he went to Mengjin County, Henan Province to catch the market, saw a similar shovel from the ground to take the soil tool, a flash of light, go home and add a wooden pole, tried it really wonderful, can easily take out a few meters from the ground to take out the soil, China's first Luoyang Shovel this came out.
2, tomb raiding on why to use the Luoyang shovel? "A Luoyang shovel pierced the yin and yang world", really so God?
Due to the small diameter of this shovel, mostly used to detect the underground, initially known as the "probe shovel", Luoyang area has a lot of ancient tombs, after a large number of use in the grave robbing community created a name, connoisseurs manpower a.
In China, the tomb robbers have been using the Luoyang Shovel for a long time.
The Guanzhong Plain in northern China has always been deep in water and thick soil, and grave robbers can't just excavate with great fanfare to explore the underground soil conditions in advance, and find dragons to determine the point is a technical job. A shovel down, more than ten meters underground soil, soil structure, soil color, density, even including the underground palace of the green paste mud layer, the arch brick layer can explore understand. The walls of the tomb are thick, the interior is hollow, the tremor and sound of the spade is different, experienced grave robbers will know, the so-called "a Luoyang shovel piercing the yin and yang boundary", this is not a joke.
Ancient tomb construction through the ages, each dynasty has a fixed, wide, deep how many zhang is a fixed number; tomb door open where is also followed by the tomb road, outsiders think that subtle, insiders will be able to understand after a careful study, set the opening of the tomb of the opening of the direction of the cave mouth, the depth of the need to use the Luoyang shovel to the ground to "draw a map" after the operation.
3, this is a tomb raiding tool, how to become a national "authorized" archaeological tools?
After the invention of the Luoyang shovel, in the chaotic world and the dream of getting rich under the incentive, the vast majority of ancient tombs in the Central Plains coefficients were excavated. It was not until 20 years later that the archaeological community paid attention.
In 1952, 1954, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, together with Peking University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Archaeology, held in Luoyang, the country's first batch of archaeological drilling training class (training course), invited to the folk tomb raiding veterans to interpret, introduce the Luoyang shovel, only to discover this new detection tool, was quickly promoted to the country's archaeological teams, and compiled into the archaeology of the formal teaching materials of universities and colleges, officially named The "Luoyang Shovel".
To put it bluntly, although experts in the archaeological field have a wealth of knowledge, but really on the actual operation, or grave robbing the first line of soil expert's skill is better.
The Luoyang shovel is the Luoyang people Li Duckzi in the last century, the 20s and 30s Luoyang North Mangshan tomb raiding prevalent, in order to adapt to the needs of the rapid search for graves and excavation, and in the folk for digging pits planting stakes on the oval shovel improved and become. This kind of shovel is still in use in Xiangyang when I was excavating recently. As mentioned in other replies, the underground detectors used for grave robbing - probes were used as early as in the Ming Dynasty, but the appearance of the Luoyang shovel greatly improved the efficiency of grave robbing, because the probes could only find out whether or not there were masonry and hard objects underground, while the Luoyang shovel, which was improved by Li Duckzi, could bring up the soil from the depths of the ground, so that an experienced person could find out the color, texture, and content of the soil according to the color, texture, and texture of the soil. Experienced people can judge whether there is a tomb under the ground and what period of time it is based on the color, texture and content of the soil. By arranging the Luoyang shovels according to a certain density and order, one can also judge the scope of the tombs and the location of the openings according to the changes in the underground piles in different locations. It can be said that since the invention of the Luoyang shovel, Luoyang North Mangshan tombs have been devastated.
At the beginning of the founding of new China, in order to cooperate with the large-scale nationwide economic construction, archaeological work around the heavy task. The Luoyang shovel can quickly, conveniently and relatively accurately determine the situation of underground relics and remains in a certain area, so it was used on a large scale for archaeological excavations before the exploration work, and many archaeological research institutions of the first generation of detectives are the former grave robbers. Since then, the Luoyang shovel began to formally become the main tool for archaeological exploration, with an official name "probe shovel", and formed a series of operating methods.
In archaeology, the principle of using the Luoyang shovel is very simple. Like geology core sampling, the probe shovel is actually a fixed point of the underground soil layer, fixed depth sampling, which can be observed at a site of underground cultural accumulation of layers, soil quality, soil color, and according to the inclusion of each type of soil to determine the age of each layer of cultural accumulation. If a certain direction (mostly north-south), a certain density (commonly used for 5 meters, 10 meters) distribution of probe holes, according to the changes in different locations of the probe hole soil samples can be inferred from the distribution of underground cultural accumulations in a certain area, so as to be ready for the next step of the work, such as looking for burial openings in a cemetery in order to clean up the next step, looking for the appropriate location of the cloth prospector excavation, and so on. In addition to searching for burial openings, most traditional archaeological exploration only makes a general judgment on the accumulation condition and distribution of relics in each part of the site. Some of the recent exploratory shovels have been installed with RTK satellite positioning system, which can accurately locate the position of each exploratory hole and greatly improve the accuracy. Wuhan, Hubei Panlongcheng site since Wuhan University teacher Zhang Changping took over, first of all, the entire site within the scope of a large-scale general exploration, the use of RTK accurately locate each probe hole, a detailed record of the soil samples of each probe hole information, and the establishment of an exploration database and retrieval system, so that you can better observe the distribution of the underground accumulations in each area of the site, is the archaeological exploration work in recent years, the results are more remarkable. This is an archaeological exploration work with remarkable results in recent years.
Attached archaeological exploration work photo:
Shandong a site for general exploration, this exploration is generally a number of people standing in a row, according to a certain distance distribution, forward or backward netting exploration.
Last year in Xiangyang to do exploration, probe hole soil samples in order from shallow to deep, can clearly see the underground soil color changes.
Carbides interspersed in the soil samples of the exploratory holes may be gray pit soil.
Red-burnt soil inclusions in probe hole soil samples are related to construction waste.
Frequently read tomb raiding novels friends will not be unfamiliar, in a variety of tomb raiding works, grave robbers have the same essential artifacts, that is, "Luoyang shovel", this shovel down, the location of the tomb will be minutes to fix. This Luoyang shovel in the end is what artifacts, a shovel how to determine the location of the tomb?
The magic of the Luoyang shovel, in a word, can easily take out the underground soil samples intact! Whether it's a shovel or a short-handled hoe, you can't do that. Grave robbers will be brought up through the soil, to do a simple analysis of the scene, the circle of jargon called "look at the soil", if the discovery of man-made movement of the cooked soil, then there may be a tomb or ancient buildings underground, good eyesight can even determine what age the tomb belongs to, what are the burial goods inside, the coffin is facing what direction, more accurate than the use of modern exploration instruments to analyze and measure. The modern exploration instrument analysis and measurement is also accurate.
Then the question comes, why the Luoyang shovel can be complete to bring the soil, while other shovels can not? Look carefully at the Luoyang shovel, we see that the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel is this kind of u-shaped, it is the use of soil particles pressurized into the U-shaped tube, squeezing each other after the tension, so that it is fixed in the tube can not be moved, so as to be able to complete the soil layer to bring up. But the curvature of the molding to create, very critical, a little careless, the shovel will not bring up the soil. Usually to create a small shovel needs to go through the embryo, calcination, heat treatment, molding, grinding edge of a full 20 processes, because of the complexity, so at present can only be handmade. Nowadays, there are only a few workshops in Luoyang can go to build Luoyang shovel.
Now the practical value of the Luoyang shovel has been fully recognized by the archaeological community, in the early 1970s, the Chinese archaeological delegation to visit Albania, but also to give an exquisite Luoyang shovel to the country counterparts as a gift from the tomb raiding to archaeology, the Luoyang shovel rely on their own strength, and played a magnificent turnaround.
