A travel to a cluster of ancient tombs
A few days ago, a piece of news popped out to me when i entered QQ: Archaeologists have discovered 46 ancient tombs in Nanjing Forestry University. Most of them are Xu Da's family tombs from a different dynasty .
Xu Da was a general in the Ming dynasty who is a very famous person in Chinese history. In his time, he earned a lot of credit for helping Zhu Yuanzhang to became Emperor. Additionally, his honesty and loyalty made Zhu like him very much. After Zhu became the emperor of the Ming dynasty, he killed many contributors that had helped him in the war for fear that they want to replace him .
But emperor Zhu didn't find any tiny reason to kill Xu Da.
"Ok , let's go to see the tombs !" my friend suggested .
"yeah of course! It is interesting and not far from here!" I said.
The next day we went there by bike. It was a lovely sunny day and birds were singing in maidenhair trees ~~Yikes !
When we got there, it took us a lot of time to find the place because the campus is much bigger than ours, and beautiful! At last, just when we were about to leave for our meeting which would start soon, I suddently saw a flat field that seems like it had been dug up by archaeologists
( I have to say, I am very perceptive about these things, ha-ha-ha )
"What about we get there to check?"
"OK"
It turned out to be a very smart choice, we finally found the tombs , but XuDa is so humble that his family tombs are too simple for his reputation. He was a real good general!
plus : I can show you a picture of them ~~~
