Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters Huangchang title (two)
Chapter 896 Huang Chang Ti Cou (2)
The so-called "yellow intestine" is because the wood used in lifting it is all cypress rafters with the bark removed, and it is named after the light yellow color of the wood.
Taken together, Huangchangti refers to a wall built with wood around the coffins of Western Han emperors, with a roof on top, just like a house, with a toilet outside.
The use of the "Huang Chang Ti Cou" burial method not only expresses the identity and status of the owner of the tomb, but also helps protect the coffin from damage.
According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, Huangchang Ticuo, the Zi Palace, the living room, and the outer coffin are all important components of the emperor's tomb. However, it can also be used by individual honorable ministers and nobles after being specially gifted by the imperial court.
For example, after the death of Huo Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty "gave one to Zi Gong, one to the Bianfang, and one to Huang Chang Ti Cou." The first record of the name "Huang Chang Ti Cou" in historical documents was in the "Book of Han."
"The Biography of Huo Guang".
"Teacher, it's very late today, how about... let's come back tomorrow?"
Zhuang Rui checked the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. His stomach was growling. After a day of physical work, Zhuang Rui was also a little tired. Although the tombs of Huang Changticuo were very attractive,
You have to take a rest, right?
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Professor Meng shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, we must go in today. Xiao Liu, you go up and bring the food down. Be careful when it gets dark, or we will ask comrades from the armed police to give us some food."
A tent, I will live in the tomb at night..."
There is no difference between night and day in the tomb. They all need electric lighting. The discovery of the Han Dynasty tomb of Huang Changticuo in Mangshan is of great significance. A lot of history will be rewritten in the archaeological field, so Professor Meng is already
Can't wait.
"Then... okay, I'll go in and have a look too..."
The teacher was almost sixty years old and was not tired of complaining. Zhuang Rui was naturally embarrassed to continue talking. With flashlights on, they carefully walked through the trap-filled passage and arrived at the door of the white stone tomb.
The white jade-like white stone has not dimmed due to the passage of time. Under the illumination of the light, it still looks crystal clear, and the dragon and phoenix patterns on it are even more lifelike, as if they have come alive.
Professor Meng walked in front. After stepping into the tomb, he froze there and did not move for a long time. Zhuang Rui, who was following behind, felt itchy and quickly looked over the teacher's shoulder.
"Holy crap, this...is this Huang Chang Ti Minato?"
With the light in Professor Meng's hand, Zhuang Rui saw an unforgettable scene.
This is a large tomb with a height of nearly five meters and a size of more than 100 square meters. In the middle of the tomb, there are countless pieces of wood. All the wood has been peeled off and is slightly yellowed under the light.
Zhuang Rui didn't know what kind of wood these woods were, but standing at the door of the tomb, the faint fragrance that his nose smelled was shocking, and the previous tiredness had dissipated a lot.
What shocked Zhuang Rui was that all the wood was broken down into wooden strips with exactly the same size and specifications, and they were densely built into a huge house with a roof on it.
On the top wall above the roof, there are carvings of the sun, moon and stars. Next to Huang Changtiao is a tall bronze carriage with a pottery figurine driver on it, which suddenly looks like a real person.
Surrounding the bronze carriage, there are six generals who are the same size as ordinary people. They all have majestic faces, their left hands are lowered, and their right hands are on the swords at their waists. They look around with bright eyes, as if they are guarding.
or their master.
Surrounding the Huangchang title, a circle of white stone is built to form mountains and rivers. Surrounded by maids, they are all shrunken pottery figurines. Their appearance is extremely lifelike, their bodies are brightly colored, and they are lifelike. At first glance, it seems that they have come to a villain.
General country.
On the surrounding walls, there are more than a dozen luminous pearls glowing with white light. Although they are not as bright as the huge crystal pearls Zhuang Rui obtained in the island treasure, they are still intact after thousands of years, so they must not be ordinary.
"Could it be... that... it's Qin Shihuang's tomb?"
Thinking of the description of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum in historical records, Zhuang Rui said this sentence out of nowhere, which immediately attracted several scornful glances. Qin Shihuang's tomb has long been publicly discussed and cannot be speculated casually.
"Zhuang Rui, Qin Shihuang passed through three springs, lowered the copper into the coffin, and watched hundreds of officials in the palace. He filled it with strange utensils. He used mercury to feed hundreds of rivers and seas, and instilled the structure. The upper part is astronomical, the lower part is geography,
Use mermaid ointment as a candle to save the immortal for a long time..."
Dr. Ren has a very good memory, and he memorized the passage describing Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum in Sima Qian's "Historical Records". However, he was also shocked by the tomb he saw in front of him. I am afraid that the owner of the tomb has all the thoughts of imitating Qin Shihuang.
Ling's thoughts.
Professor Meng had already walked into the tomb, quietly observing the mountains and landforms. After a long time, he said: "This is an emperor on horseback. Look, the general with weapons, and this map of mountains and rivers are the territory of the Han Dynasty.
, Yangguan Ancient Road, Mowai Grassland, all are reflected..."
Generally, the general identity of the owner can be seen from the furnishings in the tomb. For example, in the tomb of Emperor Taiping, there are mostly pottery figurines of maids eating, drinking and playing, while in the tombs of generals and emperors on horseback, there are many weapons and guards.
guard.
The map of mountains and rivers in this tomb, as well as the guards armed with knives, all indicate that the owner of the tomb must have been a person who expanded the territory during his lifetime, which is why Professor Meng said this.
"This is hollowing out the middle of the mountain. And from the looks of it, there will definitely be many other burial pits. Such a large project will probably not be completed within twenty years. Who is this emperor?"
Professor Meng looked at the tomb in front of him and fell into deep thought.
The scale of this tomb is so huge that it would take more than half a year to excavate it all. I am afraid it would take at least half a year, so Professor Meng is not in a hurry to do it.
"Teacher, those pottery figurines need to be protected immediately..."
Dr. Ren woke up first and whispered in Professor Meng's ear.
After hearing what Ren Chunqiang said, Professor Meng woke up from a dream and said quickly: "Oh, yes, yes, Xiao Ren, take them and protect the pottery figurines quickly..."
Due to exposure to the outside air, when the painted figurines are unearthed, the adhesion between the painted layer and the surface of the pottery body is already very weak. After the painted pottery is unearthed, the color of the painted pottery will change, the paint will fall off, and the body will gradually lose its color and become colorless.
Like pottery figurines.
Protecting the glaze color of Qin and Han pottery figurines was once an international problem. Later, through in-depth and systematic research on the material composition and technology of the painted figures, experts revealed the damage mechanism of the painted figures, and based on this, they developed protection techniques and methods.
Dr. Ren was holding a plastic bucket at this time, pouring the liquid in the bucket into a basin, stirring it, and then brushing the colorless liquid on each pottery figurine. This is one of the methods, which is to use an anti-shrinkage agent (polymer).
Ethylene glycol) and reinforcing agent (polyurethane emulsion) combined treatment method.
The function of polyethylene glycol is to resist shrinkage. This reagent can absorb moisture from the surrounding environment to keep the painted raw paint layer moist, and then slowly loses water, allowing the reinforcing agent to act on the painted painting before it is completely dry, thereby achieving reinforcement.
the goal of.
Since there were too many pottery figurines in the tomb, Professor Meng also joined in. Six or seven people worked hard for three or four hours before they were able to coat all the pottery figurines with reinforcement. Even the food Xiao Liu brought was not enough.
There's still time to eat.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard today. Let's go up and rest first. Let's continue tomorrow..."
After all, Professor Meng was getting older. After finishing his work, he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his waist. Zhuang Rui also realized that he had always said that field archeology was hard work in the past, but now he understood it.
Although these archaeologists can see historical evidence for the first time, the hard work they put in is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After returning to the mountain, Professor Meng reported the results to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Such a large-scale Han tomb is second to none among the tombs that have been discovered in the country. With the current technical strength of Zhuang Rui and others,
It seems a little thin.
The relevant leaders immediately issued instructions, and a team of experts will be organized to come for reinforcements at the latest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This also made Professor Meng breathe a sigh of relief. Just a few of them, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it in another two years.
Reveal this great tomb to the world.
After everyone went up the mountain, it was already past 11 o'clock at night. Everyone was too exhausted to go back to Lao Zhangtou's house, so they simply snuggled up next to the tent set up by the armed police soldiers and fell asleep.
Although the weather is already very hot in May, everyone is still covered with the white cloths prepared to wrap cultural relics. If an uninformed person saw this, they would think that they were a ghost, and there was a row of corpses.
"My maknae, where are you? Why can't I find you after calling for two days in a row?"
Before Zhuang Rui went to sleep, he called his home. He had not had time to charge his mobile phone in the past few days. He usually turned off his phone immediately after making a call. This time, before he could turn off his phone, the call from Zhonghai Viagra came.
Come in.
"Viagra, I'm in Henan Province, and I'm excavating an ancient tomb from the Han Dynasty. Let me tell you, this tomb is incredible. I estimate that the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is bigger than it..."
When Zhuang Rui heard the call from Yang Wei, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although he had graduated several years ago, the brotherhood has always been deep. In addition, he was stimulated by the ancient tomb today, so Zhuang Rui talked endlessly on the phone.
started talking.
"Youngest, let's not talk about this for now. Something happened to the fourth, did you know?"
Viagra's tone was a little anxious, and Zhuang Rui interrupted Zhuang Rui's words before he could finish introducing the unique ancient tomb he discovered.
