2. Cultural relics

Jin Sinan wooden box

Tiananmen Gate is a wooden structure, but the base is a brick-concrete structure. In the 1960s, when the reconstruction team counted the ridge tiles at the highest ridge tile in Tiananmen Square, they accidentally found the A Jin Sinan wooden box hidden in the yellow glazed tile, which was changed to 60 cm thick and 80 cm wide. After the workers chopped it up, a 30 cm square wooden box was exposed, which clearly showed a pair of beautifully carved dragon play beads. The wooden box became brittle after the worker pricked it with a crowbar. There is a thumb-sized ruby and cinnabar hidden in the wooden box. In addition, there are five-color miscellaneous grains, such as soybeans, sorghum, black beans, millet, corn and so on. Some items were indistinguishable, and everything in Jin Sinan's wooden box was later turned over to the state treasury.

Knee diving

When dismantling the shell of Tiananmen Gate, a worker took out a complete shell with a diameter of 9.5 cm and a height of about 45 cm. The headquarters immediately instructed the public security department to take all the surrounding soil away for research. Later, during the demolition, six shells of the same specifications were fired one after another, and these seven shells are always a mystery.
