天桥村Tianqiaocun

发现时间：1963；单位钱币总数量：13000；窖藏，阳高县位于大同市东北60公里，北界与内蒙古毗邻。太城在县北7.5公里的云门山腰间缓坡上。云门山下有守口堡，守口河自山北内蒙古古丰镇县境发源，南流入口。《水经注·桑乾水注》：“雁门之水，出于雁门之山。”清乾隆《大同府志》山川条：“雁门水，自阳高云门山北丰镇界发源南流入守口堡，俗名守口河。”由此可知云门山即古代之雁门山，守口河即雁门水。由阳高前往长城顶行，是通向内蒙古的河谷孔道，约15公里至山北，有村名“二十六”，长城穿村而过。天桥在“二十六”村的正南2.6公里的山谷西坡上。山谷有小道，可以绕过山南到王官屯，不经阳高县城就可以直达大同。货币出土在天桥村东北的小河西岸明湾刘家坟坨内。这里地势平坦，经勘可以解体骨堆藏在距地表深1.7米的黑土层内。根据发现人说，货币出土时堆放得很整齐，币币的背部还能看出原来用绳捆扎的痕迹。体积大约为二市尺多长、一市尺多宽、一市尺多厚，而币绝大部分保持完整。 在发现地点的地面上没有发现任何古代陶片和其他遗物。这些货币本身较整规整，较小型，也无任何杂物混入，可以说明它是一个窖藏。

Discovery year: 1963; Unit coin total: 13000. Hoard. Yanggao County lies 60 km northeast of Datong City, its northern border adjoining Inner Mongolia. A fortification sits on a gentle slope halfway up Yunmen Mountain, 7.5 km north of the county seat. Below Yunmen Mountain lies Shoukoubao (Pass-Guarding Fort); the Shoukou River rises in Fengzhen County, Inner Mongolia, north of the mountains, and flows south into the pass. The Commentary on the Water Classic, Sanggan River section, states: 'The waters of Yanmen issue from Mount Yanmen.' The Qianlong-era Gazetteer of Datong Prefecture, in its section on mountains and rivers, states: 'The Yanmen River rises north of Yunmen Mountain in Yanggao, on the border with Fengzhen, and flows south into Shoukoubao; it is popularly called the Shoukou River.' From this it can be inferred that Yunmen Mountain is the ancient Mount Yanmen, and the Shoukou River is the ancient Yanmen River. Traveling from Yanggao toward the top of the Great Wall follows a river-valley passage leading to Inner Mongolia; about 15 km on, north of the mountains, is a village named 'Ershiliu' (Twenty-Six), through which the Great Wall passes. Tianqiao lies on the western slope of a valley 2.6 km due south of Ershiliu village. A small path through the valley bypasses the mountains to the south, reaching Wangguantun, and continues directly to Datong without passing through Yanggao county town. The coins were unearthed at Minghualiu Jiafenduo (the Liu family gravesite), on the west bank of a small stream northeast of Tianqiaocun. The terrain here is level; investigation showed the coins had been placed within a black-soil layer 1.7 m below the surface. According to the finder, the coins were stacked in neat order when unearthed, and cord-binding marks were still visible on the backs of the coins. The deposit measured roughly two-plus Chinese feet long, one-plus foot wide, and one-plus foot thick, with the great majority of coins intact. No ancient pottery sherds or other remains were found on the surface at the find spot. The coins themselves were fairly uniform and small in size, with no extraneous material mixed in, indicating this was indeed a hoard.
