Dingling in the Snow: the Opening of the Xuan Gong Cave Underground in the Dingling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty
by Yuenan
About This Novel
As a panoramic and multi-faceted archaeological documentary that reflects the excavation process of Dingling Mausoleum, this book not only discloses the detailed process of the opening of the underground palace of Dingling Tomb, the true situation of the coffins of the emperors and empresses, and the treasures buried with them, but also traces the little-known construction of Dingling Tomb from beginning to end and the related ruthless battles between the government and the public, and between emperors, ministers and concubines, revealing the inevitable trend of the Ming Empire's decline and decline. The authors Yue Nan and Yang Shi are good at describing the archaeological excavation process in a literary way, integrating history and new archaeological discoveries. They are different from boring archaeological excavation reports and traditional documentary literature. They are known as "evidence writers". With a rigorous attitude and well-organized writing techniques, this book connects the archaeological excavation process with the historical sea and recreates ancient civilization for readers, making the archaeological process an object of public reading.

I can never forgive Wu Han and Guo Moruo... You two... Are really scum among the literati...
I once visited Dingling and found that the huge underground palace was completely empty.
Now that I see this record made by archaeologists, I know how extravagant the emperors were in the old days. At the same time, I also have some regrets. If I had this documentary as a guide, I might have gained more from reading it, instead of just looking at the flowers and gaining nothing. No one even knew the tomb belonged to, and I only had the feeling of visiting here...
