the discovery of the ruins in hejiacun village was very accidental. in october 1970, when an infrastructure construction worker was digging the foundation, he suddenly found a pottery urn and a silver jar with a beam lift filled with gold and silver treasures. the staff immediately reported the discovery to the shaanxi provincial museum, the predecessor of the current shaanxi history museum. the antiquarian antiquaries rushed to the site in no time and took care of these treasures. they soon carried out drilling investigations around, looking forward to more discoveries. this archaeological discovery is famous for a large number of unearthed cultural relics, various types, exquisite craftsmanship and good condition. it is also one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the sui and tang dynasties in the 20th century.
