There was a corpse in the corner, only the bones were left. What was strange was the posture of the bones. Xiao Ning turned his back to the bones and imitated his example. It turned out that the bones were sitting cross-legged on the ground. Look at the bones.
His posture showed no pain when he died. A piece of silk fell next to the bones. Bai Yi picked it up helplessly: "There is a monogram on it."
"What is a monogram?" Lei Zi came over and saw that Bai Yi was patting the silk carefully to see the words on it clearly. Bai Yi explained at the same time: "The monogram is equivalent to the current signature. In the Tang Dynasty, scholars
Cursive continuous signatures, called monograms, were popular in ancient times. Until the Southern and Northern Dynasties and later generations, monograms continued to be passed down. In modern times, they are what we call signatures."
The signature files of the ancients are quite individual. The signature of He Jingrong, a writer in the Southern Dynasties, is different. When he signed, he separated the word "Jing" very far, and wrote "Gou" very big, while "Wen" was written very small.
, the word "rong" in his name contains a big word "father", so Lu Chui, a contemporary, deliberately called him "the dog is very big, and the father is not small". In the Northern Dynasties, many ethnic minority nobles had a degree of sinicization.
If you are not tall, it is difficult to write Chinese characters. For example, the Northern Qi aristocrat Xielüjin, who composed the song "Chile Song" and whose name is remembered by many primary school students, was originally named Xielüdun. Because he could not write the "Dun" well, he changed his name to Xielüjin.
It was written in gold, but the signature still didn't look like the word "gold". Qi Gaozu Gao Huan pointed to the sharp corner of the palace and asked him to paint. It is estimated that his signature looked like a small house from a distance. Another
The Northern Qi aristocrat named Kudiqian was also very interesting. When he signed his name, he often put the vertical painting of the character "Qian" from bottom to top across the two horizontal lines. Others ridiculed him as "piercing the cone".
Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was a famous calligrapher and painter. His "signature file" was called "Jueyian". Its shape is a bit like the loosely written word "天". In fact, Zhao Ji played a word-splitting game and combined "the world is one person"
The four characters are connected together to show that he is not only the emperor who rules the world, but also the best in the world in terms of artistic attainments. The signature file of another calligrapher and painter Zhu Da, who is famous as the "Bada Shanren", is also unique, with his style "
The four characters "Bada Shanren" are in one go, coherent from top to bottom. From a distance, it looks like "crying" and "laughing".
The inscription on the cotton silk is one word - Xian. Could it be the name of the owner of the bones? Bai Yi just thought it was a small episode on the way back: "Forget it, except for this inkstone, there are no other characters."
There’s nothing special about it anymore, let’s go.”
"Wait!!" Tang Sancheng pointed to the back of the "bed", his ears were pressed against the wall and listened: "There is the sound of air flowing inside, there should be a bigger space inside!!"
Lei Zi muttered: "It's true or false, can you tell?"
Tang Sancheng said "cut": "I won't talk nonsense with you."
Qi Xie had already moved the bed, but before he could use any force, the seemingly intact bed collapsed with a thud. A burst of smoke and dust flew out, making him choke. Qi Xie had to turn his head to the side, and Lei Zi rushed over.
, patted the wall: "Hey, it seems to be really empty, not real."
Several people searched for the mechanism together, but found nothing. It seemed that this wall was completely sealed. Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Ning. Xiao Ning, who is known as a master of drilling holes, has not shown his hand once.
Seeing that these people were questioning him, Ning said coldly: "Just step aside."
Xiao Ning took out a small pickaxe from his bag and tapped it on the wall several times. Then he chose a point and started to attack. The brick wall did not seem to be solid in Xiao Ning's hands.
But Tang Sancheng discovered that the secret lay in the small hand pick. The front end of the small hand pick was very sharp and had been specially processed. Xiao Ning used the tip to pierce the brick wall first. The point she just chose was extremely easy to apply force.
, and then exert force in all directions, very regularly.
The four grown men stood aside, waiting for Xiao Ning to finish the brick wall. A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ning made a small hole in the brick wall. Xiao Ning put away the pickaxe and turned around and said: "The bricks for this wall are laid first."
Okay, then it’s your turn to bake the mud and solidify it! Just use as much force as you need."
The four grown men put their hands on the brick wall and used force together. The brick wall fell down, and the passage was completely opened. To everyone's surprise, it was not the tomb chamber as everyone thought, but a tomb passage, which went all the way to the tomb.
Stretching forward, Lei Zi spat on the ground: "Mom, are you going or not?"
After a few people finally found the way out, a small episode suddenly appeared. Should they continue or quit? Bai Yi thought for a while and suddenly said: "The direction of this tomb passage is also facing south."
"Oh." Seeing Bai Yi say this, Lei Zi understood what he meant: "You still want to go in?"
"Yes." Bai Yi said decisively.
"Mom, just come in. You said it's all here, and I won't be willing to withdraw if you don't go in." Lei Zi spat on the ground again. After staying there for a long time, Tang Sancheng realized that every time Lei Zi
When his son is nervous or excited, he likes to spit in his face. This has become his signature move.
Bai Yi couldn't explain his feelings clearly. He just felt that this tomb passage was consistent with the direction they were going. Walking along this tomb passage might be a good choice. He looked at Tang Sancheng and Qixie again.
Naturally, the two of them had no objections. Now only Xiao Ning was left. Xiao Ning spread his hands and said, "The minority obeys the majority."
Okay, come in! The five people stepped into the tomb passage. Xiao Ning looked back at the bones: "Do you think this person is specially guarding here? The brick door outside is completely sealed. It seems that he is
The person who died here was not a tomb robber, so the guard is quite tolerant."
Tang Sancheng completely agreed with Xiao Ning's statement. The owner of this white skeleton died quite calmly. Before he died, he sat cross-legged, a bit like sitting in bed. Besides, whoever came in to fight would also set up a bed here, and the tomb guard was quite polite.
Appropriate, and he is also a scholar. This can be seen from the monogram and the inkstone, which allows him to spend his life guarding here. Who is the owner of the tomb related to this tomb passage? Tang Sancheng has begun to wonder.
Already.
After the five people walked for a while, a passage appeared in front of them. Everyone stepped in one after another and came to a patio and two small niches. Only then did they see the door of the tomb. The structure of the tomb was very simple, with front and rear chambers.
, are all made of red bricks, and there are paintings on the wall between the patio and the niche. They are colorful paintings. The painting is a moonlight picture of a lotus pond, which is very artistic. This is completely different from the patterns on ordinary tombs.
Bai Yi thought for a while and said: "Judging from the structure of this tomb, it should be a tomb from the Tang Dynasty."
