Chen Wenzhe likes the ancient tomb system very much, so he knows very well what ancient tombs are like.
Therefore, he must also know very well what burial objects may be present in an ancient tomb.
For example, in the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there are many things that can exist, and the things that must exist are definitely more precious.
In the photo album he saw, many precious and necessary burial objects did not appear.
As for how many have not appeared, it depends on the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to the regulations of the princes, what kind of funerary objects should be buried.
The system of using tripods for burials in the Western Zhou Dynasty stipulates that the emperor has nine tripods and the princes have seven tripods. This is generally correct.
According to the latest archaeological excavations, Jiuding was also used in the tombs of princes during the Spring and Autumn Period.
In addition to the necessities of tripod and gui, the second step is human sacrifice. Of course, there are no human sacrifices for this.
Tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty often include human sacrifices, ranging from one person to seven.
Most of the victims were placed on the second-floor platform, and some even had funeral utensils.
The bronze ritual vessels found in mound tombs in the south are often rich in local characteristics.
It can be seen that whether to use human sacrifices for burial does not entirely depend on the size of the tomb or the social status of the tomb owner.
After the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the system changed. In the imperial mausoleums, especially couples were buried together in the same tomb.
The shapes and decorations of tripods and guis have also undergone minor changes.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the types and quantities of Ming vessels became even smaller.
For example, a pair of angular vessels unearthed from Yandun Mountain in Dantu, Jiang Province, and a pair of seven-column vessels unearthed from Tunxi.
In the Yellow River Basin and the northern region, the special horizontal cave tombs are earth cave tombs above the ground. They are larger in scale and longer in structure. The owners of the tombs belong to the upper class landlord class.
The tombs of the early and late Western Zhou Dynasty have no obvious differences in the combination and shape of the burial pottery.
Let’s talk about funerary objects. The funerary objects in Western Zhou tombs mainly include pottery, bronze ritual vessels, weapons, chariots and horses, jade ornaments, primitive porcelain and lacquerware, etc.
"We know that hiding means living. There is no photo album out there, which is a collection of excavation photos of the entire ruins of this ancient city."
The combination is centered on a tripod, and the small number of tripods indicates the social status of the tomb owner.
Here, there are still some utensil shapes with obvious uses.
The various horizontal-chamber tombs after the mid-Western Han Dynasty are generally the brick chamber tombs and stone chamber tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Large-scale tombs are less likely to be buried with pottery, and the shapes of the utensils include lids, pots, guis, statues, pots, beans, bowls, etc.
The small tombs and some medium-sized tombs have rich grave goods, and there are no crude sets of bronze ritual vessels.
In addition to this, few cultural relics have been unearthed from other tombs.
The unearthed jade decorations include wall-shaped congs, Gui, seals, handle-shaped ornaments, as well as fish, dragons, birds, beasts and other animal statues.
Compared with those in the Warring States Period, the number of funerary objects in Han tombs includes more bronze wares and a further increase in the proportion of lacquer wares.
The shape mimics real-life houses.
Those cemeteries are not that simple, and I see little potential in them.
This family has excavated the ruins of an ancient city, how could they abandon a small area of large tombs?
In addition to bronzes, there are also pottery, weapons, salvaged chariots and horses, jade decorations, original porcelain and lacquerware, etc.
For example, the eight legs of a tripod are pointed and cone-shaped, and the utensils are often paired.
Since there is no such inference, Chen Wenzhe will still make excuses with this stall owner, because with my current strength, it is necessary!
In the late and middle Western Han Dynasty, practical utensils were buried with the dead.
Why do you say that? After all, I have seen some other tombs. They are large state tombs, not large tomb pits.
That was an epoch-making small change in the ancient tomb system of your country.
I don't even have agate, glass beads and other accessories.
Including models of warehouses, stoves, wells, mills, and pavilions, as well as idols such as pigs, dogs, and chickens.
In the late and middle Western Han Dynasty, couples were still buried together in the form of "burial together in different caves".
The sleeping hall is set up in the northern part of the cemetery, setting a precedent for setting up sleeping quarters in an emperor's mausoleum.
The shape and decoration of early bronze ritual vessels are slightly different from those of the late Shang Dynasty.
After the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the number of pottery utensils specially made for burials decreased.
In order to store small amounts of food and drinks, there are often many small pottery vessels in tombs.
A set of three chime bells was also found in the tombs of King Mu's period found in Pudu Village, Chang'an.
Among the small tombs of nobles, the Mancheng Han Tomb in Beihe Province and the Silongshan Han Tomb in Qufu, Qilu Province cannot be regarded as representatives of the emerging horizontal-vault tombs in the mid-Western Han Dynasty.
In Liulihe and other places, lacquerware from the Western Zhou Dynasty has also been unearthed, but a small amount of it has decayed and only traces remain. The shape of the vessel cannot be restored, such as the goblet, the urn, the lei, etc.
Although there are no original porcelain buried in the Western Zhou tombs in the Central Plains, there are many of them, and the shapes of the vessels are relatively simple, with few bean-shaped vessels.
Chen Wenzhe can be recognized at a glance mainly because in the Han Dynasty, horizontal caves were commonly used as tombs, and tombs were built with bricks and stones.
The imperial mausoleums of the Western Han Dynasty, except for Emperor Wen's Ba Mausoleum, which is "hidden by mountains", all have square tombs with buckets in the center of the mausoleum. The tombs themselves serve as coffins and can be called "
"Brick coffin" and "stone coffin", while the burial objects in the tomb are without coffins and coffins.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe directly pointed out the problem under the photo.
"There's no signboard for my tomb yet? There should be a tomb from the Han Dynasty over there, right? There's no sign for the Shang Dynasty yet? It's a good idea to keep the things."
Therefore, if the state tomb exists.
Then you have to look at the photos of the ruins of this ancient city. Since it is an ancient city, it is natural that there may only be no princes.
The horizontal pit-type tomb provides convenience for burials in the same tomb.
Tombs in that area usually contain less original porcelain, and there are also fewer changes in types and shapes of the vessels.
No martyrs were found in the large tombs in Liulihe, the divine capital, but there were martyrs found in many medium-sized tombs.
Chen Wenzhe took it and checked it carelessly again. Sure enough, there were no artifacts unearthed that time, just some photos of the tomb.
Those photos are also useless, because the first one is not a tomb pit from the Han Dynasty.
Although Chen Wenzhe had not seriously speculated, I just took a complicated look at the tomb pit and the unearthed bronzes in the photos, and I still didn’t know that this area was a combined burial site of a cemetery and a state tomb.
In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the number of wine utensils increased slightly, while the number of food utensils increased.
Among the 300 to 400 small tombs that have been excavated in Zhangjiapo, about 7% have been found to contain sacrifices, and they are all tombs from the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
In ancient times, coffins and coffins were collectively called coffins in your country, and they were all burial implements.
However, in the tombs of the late Western Zhou Dynasty here, there is no phenomenon of useful burials. This is a relatively obvious change.
The shapes of the utensils include tripod, ke, kei, goblet, jue, goblet, zun, 卣, pot, ying, plate, 匜, etc.
They are huge caves dug into the cliffs as tombs, so they are called "cliff tombs". Their shape and structure completely imitate houses.
That kind of change mainly ended in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty. It first occurred in the Yellow River Basin and then spread throughout the country.
