The sarcophagus was unearthed in the Sui Dynasty's "Li Jingxun Tomb", which was discovered in the west of Xi 'an City in 1957.

Who is Li Jingxun?

She was the granddaughter of Yang Lihua, the eldest daughter of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and Yuwenyun, Emperor of Northern Zhou. Because of the love of her grandmother Yang Lihua, she was raised in the palace since childhood, but unfortunately died at the age of nine; The grandmother was so grieved that she buried him with a great gift, and even engraved the curse of "open and die" on her sarcophagus, just to protect her beloved granddaughter.

The luxurious burial objects unearthed from the tomb of Li Jingxun let us see a grandmother's extreme love for her granddaughter, but few people seem to pay attention to this grandmother and her uncontrollable life.

Married at 13, widowed at 20.

At the age of 13, Yang Lihua, the eldest daughter of Yang Jian, the chief Sima of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was married to Yuwenyun, the crown prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later became the empress of the Northern Zhou Emperor. However, Yuwenyun was extremely foolish and absurd. He was fond of pleasure and had five queens alone. Only in office for more than a year, the throne will be located in the eldest son of only 7 years old, when the Tianyuan emperor, wide Luo beauty, due to excessive sex, died in the next year.

Yang Lihua was widowed at the age of 20. This marriage, for her, is a marriage between interest groups, and she is more like a tool of power consolidation, which can not be left and right.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty was captured by my father.

When he learned that his father Yang Jian had the heart to usurp the throne, Yang Lihua had resolutely opposed it, leading to tension between father and daughter. Even so, she was ultimately unable to prevent the Northern Zhou Dynasty from being seized by her father.

Yang Jian also felt indebted to his daughter, after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, she was named Princess Leping. But Yang Lihua ignored, until 5 years later, for the sake of her daughter's future, Yang Lihua did not accept the grant.

Choosing a husband for a woman is bad for the whole family.

Yuwen Eying, is Yang Lihua's only daughter, since is very love, for far-reaching plan. She with her father Yang Jian personally for Yuwen eying select husband, from hundreds of people picked out Li Min, and sealed as a column country, after the official to light Lu doctor, to protect prosperity and wealth; Even before he died, he asked his younger brother Emperor Yang, "I have only one daughter, please take care of her, and ask the Emperor to give my food town to my son-in-law Li Min." Emperor Yang agreed.

However, six years later, Li Minyin was framed for treason, and Emperor Yang put his niece's entire family in prison and executed the entire family. Yang Lihua want to guard the daughter of a family, and ultimately did not guard success.

Throughout her life, the only thing she finally guarded was the peace after the death of her granddaughter Li Jingxun. After a thousand years, we can know this profound relationship between ancestors and grandchildren, and know the prosperity of the Silk Road in the Sui Dynasty and the frequent exchanges between China and foreign countries from cultural relics.
