Treasure Horde Found in Sichuan River China
EARLIER THIS year Chinese archaeologists excavated a large treasure trove from a 17th-century shipwreck from a river bed near Meishan City, where two rivers meet in Sichuan province. It was in 2005 that the first evidence started to emerge when construction workers pulled several silver bullion ingots out of the gravel from the river bed. In 2010, the site was declared a protected area, although looters had managed to access the site. It was at this time that a looter, an
experienced diver, had discovered a gold seal in the shape of a tiger in the river, dated to 1643, which bore the title ‘Grand Marshal of Yongchang’, which he sold illegally to a collector for around US$2 million. After the initial discovery, more and more objects from this particular period began to appear on the black market and the police picked up this abnormal activity, and in 2015, arrested various looters and traffickers and recovered thousands of
silver and gold coins and other objects from the site. Te wreck, which dates to circa
1646, was carrying more than 10,000 pieces of gold, silver and bronze coins, ingots, jewels and weapons. Te gold ingots have inscriptions that are still clearly visible that includes the name of the infamous rebel from the Ming dynasty – Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang’s nickname was the Yellow Tiger. In 1644, the year of the fall of the
Ming dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong had become part of the rebel army after deserting the Chongzhen Emperor’s army in the 1630s. He was known as a bloodthirsty tyrant and finally conquered the area of Sichuan, made Chengdu his capital and crowned himself as the first king of the Daxi dynasty. However, by 1645 his empire was weakened and the Emperor’s army was on the rise. In 1646, he fled Sichuan and, according to legend, 1,000 boats were loaded with treasure to set sail for Shaanxi. Zhang’s forces
clashed with those of the now superior Emperor’s army in battle and it is believed he died at this time. Wang Wei, one of the archaeologists, commented on the dig that there is direct and compelling evidence to now identify the area where this famous last battle was fought. Tis dig started in earnest in January
when they increased the size of the excavation works to a 10,000 square metre section of the river and dug roughly five metres down into the river bed. To date they have recovered over 10,000 items. ‘Te items are extremely valuable and are of great significance for research into the political,economic, military and social lives of the Ming dynasty,’ said Li Boqian, an archaeologist from Peking University. Te local government is believed to
be considering building a museum near the site to preserve and protect the valuable findings and to tell the story of the Ming-dynasty rebel Zhang Xianzhong.
