Site of Song Emperors’ mausoleums monitored by modern techn

Chinanews, Hangzhou, Jun. 30 – According to Zhejiang Daily, the site of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) emperor and empress’ mausoleum has been monitored and determined by modern technology since 2005.   Experts believe that remote sensing technology has helped Chinese archelogists to make many new achievements, including the discovery of historical and cultural sites during infrastructure constructions.   All those Song Dynasty mausoleums are located in the Huiji Mountain in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, which are also called “Six Song Emperors’ Mausoleum.” And compose the largest mausoleum area in China’s south. The disappointing thing is that all these mausoleums were totally destroyed in wars, making it very difficult for archeologists to conduct further research on these mausoleums   Zhu Weiping, a professor from Zhejiang Education Research Institute, said that the specific locations of these mausoleums had been confirmed to be under water.
