Luo Tian turned the bracelet over and looked at the inner wall. After turning it over, Luo Tian recognized the two characters engraved on it - Wangqing, "Is it Tao Wangqing?" Luo Tian became excited: "Director Fu, look.
, this should be the bracelet of Liu Qu’s concubine Tao Wangqing.”
This is the first funerary object today with a clear owner. "However, this Tao Wangqing is definitely not the last person to wear this bracelet." Luo Tian felt infinitely: "Tao Wangqing died before Liu Qi, and there is no trace of his body."
Xiao Chen, who was recording, trembled: "No bones left?"
"Yes, this Tao Wangqing is the first nude model in Chinese history." Luo Tian's words aroused everyone's interest, and two female staff members also looked at each other. Although they were a little shy, they couldn't help it.
Luo Tian came over and explained clearly.
"Tao Wangqing was a beauty from the Western Han Dynasty, Xiaojiabiyu, with exquisite features, slender figure, youthful beauty, and an appearance like a fairy. She was forcibly married to Liu Qu, the then King Hui of Guangchuan, as his concubine. Because of her youth, beauty, and charming charm, she was deeply loved by Liu Qu.
Liu Qu’s queen is called Zhaoxin,
He was very jealous and resentful, and tried every means to put Tao Wangqing to death. So he often sued Tao Wangqing in front of Liu Qu. Liu Qu held Tao Wangqing in his arms all day long and did not take the queen's words seriously. But Liu Qu had a fatal weakness, and he was afraid of what others would say.
He was a cuckold.”
At this point, the two female staff members suddenly burst into laughter, which aroused dissatisfaction from the men: "I am a man who is afraid of being cuckolded, why don't you women scare me?"
Xiao Chen became impatient: "Don't make trouble, listen to Luo Tian first."
"In the early summer of a certain year, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the swallows were dancing, and the willows were weeping. Tao Wangqing found a painter. In her bedroom, she took off her clothes, took care of her temples, and posed for herself with delicate flowers shining in the water.
Painted a nude portrait. As a result, Queen Zhaoxin knew about it
She held on to him, and began to falsely accuse Tao Wangqing in front of Liu Qu, saying that the painter went to Tao Wangqing's residence to paint her portrait, and Tao Wangqing exposed her body, leaned against him, panted slightly, and applied powder to flatter her. There must be adultery between them.
Liu Qu believed the queen's false accusation and no longer loved or cared for Tao Wangqing."
"Men are really easy to deceive." A younger female staff member said angrily, while another older one sighed: "You are still young, you will know later."
Luo Tian continued: "Without the protection of Liu Qu, Queen Zhaoxin began to intensify her cruelty to Tao Wangqing without fear. She led the concubines, took off Tao Wangqing's clothes in public, and insulted Tao Wangqing with the most vicious words.
Beaten with whips and burned with red-hot iron bars
Tao Wangqing's jade body. Tao Wangqing couldn't bear the torture and threw herself into a well. After being discovered, she reported it to Queen Zhaoxin, who hurriedly ordered her servants to rescue Tao Wangqing from the well. However, this was not because Queen Zhaoxin showed mercy.
Heart, she wants to make Tao Wangqing want to die and unable to live!"
"As the saying goes: A needle in the tail of a bee is the most poisonous to a woman's heart. If a woman goes crazy, the consequences will be disastrous. Queen Zhaoxin will make Tao Wangqing's life worse than death. After rescuing Tao Wangqing from the well, Queen Zhaoxin ordered people to tie Tao Wangqing's hands and feet, and
The wooden prong was inserted into her lower body, and her nose, lips and tongue were cut off. In the end, she actually
The servants were ordered to chop Tao Wangqing's body into pieces, put it into a large pot, sprinkle it with peach wood ash poison, and cook it over a warm fire. Perhaps in order to kill the chicken to show the monkeys, Queen Zhaoxin also forced other beauties to surround her.
Just watch. In this way, after cooking for a day and a night, Tao Wangqing, a charming beauty, was cooked into a pot of meat sauce."
The workroom suddenly became quiet, no one spoke, and the last description made everyone feel a chill. After a long time, it was Xiao Chen who broke the silence: "A woman's hair is more terrifying than a tiger's, and it can also eat people."
"What are you talking about!" The young girl suddenly glared at Xiao Chen, and the waves of light circulated. Xiao Chen met her eyes and immediately lowered his head with a smile. Luo Tian felt that these two people must be unusual, so he coughed:
"It's all my fault, I talked too much."
"It's good to let them learn a lot, but they don't study much at ordinary times." Curator Fu said with a smile: "This issue between men and women is more abstract and complicated than philosophy. You will have plenty of time and opportunity to study it in the future, so let's focus on the present first.
.”
Luo Tian nodded: "Continue working, now it's the jade belt hook."
The belt hook is the hook for the belts worn by ancient nobles and literati warriors. It was also called "Xibi" in ancient times. It was mostly cast in bronze, but also made of gold, silver, iron, jade, etc. The belt hook originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty and spread from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Because of its popularity, belt hooks are a status symbol. The material used for the belt hook, the fineness of its production, the shape, decoration and size are all criteria for judging the value of the belt hook.
In the Neolithic Liangzhu Cultural Site, a rectangular jade was found in the lower half of the tomb bones and was part of the belt. The shape of the jade is mostly rectangular or flat rectangular, and can be divided into long and short types.
The length is between 3-8 cm, and the whole body is smooth and grain-free. There is a hole at one end, drilled from both sides, and a rope can be threaded.
Knot, its function is equivalent to a hook button with a hook. The other end is shaped into a curved hook, the hook head is bent inward, and the end is slightly pointed and rounded, which can be used to tie the belt. Although it is different from the common shape, its function should be to hook. Equivalent to the belt hooks from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this is the earliest jade belt hook discovered in my country and is the initial state of ancient jade belt hook production.
The Western Han Dynasty was the heyday of the development of ancient jade belt hooks. The production of jade belt hooks has been further developed and innovated on the basis of inheriting the types and techniques of the Warring States Period. Generally speaking, the jade belt hooks of the Western Han Dynasty pay attention to the selection of materials and careful consideration.
, the knife skills are concise and the quality is high. At the same time, the quantity is relatively large. During this period, most of the jade belt hooks were plain and without lines. The shape of the hook head was also carved very simply, and some
Only the outlines remain, and some are just a few carvings, but they are all rough, powerful, and neat. Even if some hooks have incised patterns on their bodies, they are very simple, straight, and powerful. Some only have a few string patterns on the hook surface.
, or the thallium is pressed and ground obliquely between the two string patterns to form longitudinal grooves, which look like ridges. It is worth mentioning that during the Western Han Dynasty, the hook surface of jade belt hooks began to have bas-relief patterns such as cockroaches and phoenixes.
"The jade dragon is attached with a gold belt hook. The jade dragon is transformed into a ∽∽ shape. The dragon tail is nested with a gold belt hook, with a total length of 14.4 centimeters." Luo Tian picked up another belt hook, this one not made of jade: "Liu Li
Belt making hook, 7.8 cm long, mantis-shaped, crystal clear.”
