Haiyuan earthquake
- Jingning County Magistrate was
- Excavation site of Xinzhuang Village, Jiucai Town, Haiyuan County
- The reporter accidentally searched the offspring of the cave dweller and heard him tell about his family's experience when the earthquake happened 95 years ago.
- 10 porous pits appear on road construction site
- Xinzhuang Village is located in the west of Jiucai Township, Haiyuan County. It is surrounded by mountains, dry and rainy, and barren. It is difficult to see other crops along the way, except for a large alfalfa field and very few flax fields. The construction site of the fourth-grade highway from Xinzhuang to Dawan is located next to a ditch on the southeast side of Xinzhuang Village. This ground faces north to the south and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is very suitable for dwelling in a kiln. On the construction site, a hill about 20 meters high has been dug out by a large machine. Several large forklifts and excavators are parked side by side on the side platform. 10Porous robber holes are located in the middle of the excavated oblique section, nearly two people tall from the lower platform.
- A small footstep was dug out at the 3 hole pirate entrance on the east side and continued to the lower platform part. Come to these 3 holes. I saw a one-meter-wide platform below the cave entrance. There was floating earth piled on the platform below the cave entrance. There were several pieces of pottery debris on the west side of the floating soil. Among them, corroded grain and straw residues were piled on the floating soil below the middle hole. Touch the residue of the burnt stick with your hand, and the residue will turn into powder instantly. On the floating soil beneath the largest pirate hole on the west side, the reporter found seven or eight pieces of pottery debris and a complete large green brick. There were also two carved blue brick fragments at the entrance of the hole. Inlaid with several pieces of blue brick. On the platform below the opening, an animal's leg bone was placed.
- At the edge of the large platform where the enlarged machine was stopped, a pile of animal spine, jaw, and pottery debris was seen. Judging from the jaw bone, the jaw should belong to a horse, mule or donkey. In a gap on the west side of the large platform, there are three large slabs. Judging from the burn marks on the slabs and the brown-red soil around them, the three large slabs may be stove stones. In a gully below the mound, the reporter piled up on the side of the loess at the bottom of the trench after being developed, and found two large pieces of pottery bottom debris. The two pieces of pottery are round, about 30 cm in diameter and about 5 cm thick. The wall of the pottery is also about 3 cm thick. Judging from the wall direction and thickness of the device, this may be the bottom debris of the two large tile cylinders. In addition, two pieces of porcelain were found nearby. One of the pieces of colored porcelain should be pieces of porcelain plates and porcelain dishes, and the other piece of white porcelain should be the bottom of the porcelain bowl. In addition, a stone pestle for ramming soil was found in the mound, intact.
- The stolen cave is on the ruins of the cave dwelling in Haiyuan
- A villager with a surname of Yao in Xinzhuang Village told reporters that the road construction site was originally the residence of a local surnamed Yang. During the Great Haiyuan Earthquake in 1920, a hill landslide occurred during the earthquake, and several households under the hill were buried. According to the legend of the descendants of the Yang family, some money was buried under the mountain. At about 6 am on June 26th, when the earth was being excavated at the road construction site, an excavator dug out a tile of "district". Due to the rupture of the cylinder body, the "pox" was scattered around, and the forklift driver got out of the car to pick up the "pox". When local villagers found out, they also rushed to rob. Then, some people traced the kiln cave along the section of the mountain and dug out more than 10 stolen holes. Some also dug pottery and porcelain.
- Yao villagers also told reporters that the descendants of the Yang family now live in Jiucai Village, Jiucai Township. In the afternoon of the same day, the reporter found Yang Baomin, the descendant of the Yang family, in Jiucai Village. When talking about robberies in Xinzhuang Village, the 63-year-old Yang Baozhen immediately cried. According to Yang Baozhang, the road construction site in Xinzhuang Village is indeed a cave dwelling in the Haiyuan earthquake. His grandfather has 8 sons in total. His grandfather ranks as the sixth son and is still a grandma. His two brothers are doing business in Baotou and other places. Others are farming and the family is more prosperous. At that time, there was a platform under the hill, of which the four brothers of the Yang family lived in the caves dug along the mountain. During the 1920 earthquake, a landslide occurred in the mountain. 35 of Yang's 36 people were buried in the cave. His grandfather lived in a "tall house" on the platform and was spared. At the time, there were more than 80 sheep, four or five horses, and a few donkeys buried under the mountain with the people. After the earthquake, his grandfather married his wife and had children. On the anniversary of the Great Earthquake, descendants of the Yang family will go to the tombs at the cave ruins. In 1958, his father informed him and his elder brother before his death, claiming that a lot of money was buried under the cave cave ruins in Xinzhuang Village, allowing future generations to dig.
- "The village committee and the township government both knew that the bones of our ancestors were buried here, but we didn't inform us before the road was excavated." The elderly Yang Baozhen told reporters that before the excavation of the hills, the construction party should inform the Yang family so The Yang family moved the bones of ancestors buried in the cave during the earthquake. Today, most bones have been turned into trenches by forklifts and buried in deep soil. Regarding the stolen and looted property, Yang Baozheng said that the property buried underground should belong to the state. The Yang family has reported to the local public security and cultural management department.
- Police have recovered some cultural relics
- Local villagers have different opinions about the claims that property was dug out at the highway construction site. Some villagers said that at that time, a 4 watt cylinder of "district", as well as silver, copper, and copper coins, were excavated, and the quantity was very large. Others said that at that time, a pot of "Ma Qianzi" was dug up and robbed by everyone. Others said that at the time, not only were huge amounts of "district" dug out, but also porcelain bottles and patterned porcelain plates. Villagers of the family name Yao said that on the morning of June 29, two other men were searching in the robber's hole with a metal detector. At the time, about 10 catties of "makozi" were dug up and taken away.
- Was property excavated from the earthquake cave cave site? During the interview on the same day, the reporter found that a police car was parked outside the engineering department of the four-level highway from Xinzhuang Village to Dawan, and there were policemen constantly entering and leaving the engineering department. Local villagers told reporters that the police came to investigate the digging of property. Later, the reporter saw part of the "Ma Qianzi" recovered by the police in the project department. The reporter saw that these coins were round with a square hole in the middle, and the coins had traces of friction during use. Most of the copper coins were Qianlong, Daoguang and Guangxu Baotong in the Qing Dynasty.
- On the afternoon of the 29th, the reporter learned from the Propaganda Department of the Haiyuan County Party Committee. After the incident, the Cultural Management Office of the Culture and Broadcasting Bureau of Haiyuan County, the local government, and the police immediately organized personnel to the construction site to conduct investigations and investigations, and to conduct safety protection inspections on the site . After a field investigation, four cliffside cave dwellings excavated at the construction site were ordinary dwellings for cave dwellings during the Republic of China, and no other ancient ruins were found around it.

These pieces were examined during the period of the Republic of China, and no other cultural relics were found.
