UnearthingaLegend论文参考文献：
Legend has it that almost 400 years ago, a peasant rebel troop leader intentionally hid a large treasure at the bottom of the Minjiang River in Jiangkou Town, southwest China’s Sichuan Province.
Recently, the legend was proved to be real by a tremendous archaeological discovery.
A history or a legend?
Zhang Xianzhong （1606-47）, who commanded a peasant uprising in 1630 during the late Ming Dynasty （1368-1644）, captured Chengdu （capital of Sichuan） and founded the Daxi Kingdom （Kingdom in the Great West） in 1644. But he was forced to flee the city two years later and was defeated in a battle by a Ming Dynasty general in Jiangkou. His fleet of 1,000 vessels sank to the bottom of the river during the battle and Zhang was killed by Qing Dynasty （1644-1911） troops in 1647.
A legend thereafter was passed from generation to generation that Zhang had hidden a large treasure in wooden scabbards at the bottom of the Minjiang River in Jiangkou for a future comeback. There was even a riddle which described the possible location of the sunken treasure.
However, since there have never been any verifiable historical records, controversy has abounded as to whether there really was a sunken treasure in the river and if so, where it was hidden. Rumors continued to grow in the 1920s, when important cultural relics began to occasionally be discovered in the Jiangkou section of the Minjiang River. In 2015, Meishan Municipal Police solved several cases involving the theft and trading of treasures dug out of the river, recovering over 1,000 artifacts worth 300 million yuan （$45.2 million）.The cases prompted the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute and the National Center of Underwater Cultural Heritage to apply to excavate around the Jiangkou site in January 2016. The State Administration of Cultural Heritage approved the application in April of the same year.
However, out of consideration for safety and costs, the excavation was only begun dur- ing the dry season from December to the end of April the following year.
Treasure discovered
Over 42,000 artifacts have been unearthed so far by two excavations in 2017 and 2018, including gold and silver bowls, coins, jewelry, silver ingots and weapons. Over 500 of the artifacts were selected for an exhibition at the National Museum of China in Beijing which de- buted on June 26. The excavation has not only provided evidence of the authenticity of the legend but has also shed light on the politics, military activities and social life of the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It was listed as one of the Top 10 Archaeological Finds in China in 2017.
