Dou Sprout held up his flashlight and took pictures back and forth. He said, "This place is too big, even bigger than the park in our town!"
"Don't talk nonsense, can you pick up cultural relics in your park?"
Just as I finished speaking, I saw a strange building in the corner of my eye.
"Look, what is that? It's in the southwest corner."
Brother Yu looked at the direction I pointed and said doubtfully, "I don't know, that's a kitchen, right? There's also a chimney."
This building is not big, and its overall appearance is flat and prone, like the shape of a dog pooping, with a large chimney installed at the top.
Brother Yu said it was the kitchen, but I said it didn't look like it.
In the past, some ancient tombs did have separate rooms for kitchens, mainly in the tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Anyone who has traveled to the Xixia Imperial Tombs in Yinchuan knows that each imperial tomb is very large, with an average area of more than 100,000 square meters, and the largest one exceeds 150,000 square meters. It can be seen from this that if Li Xianxiu’s own imperial tombs The total area of the mausoleum palace is by no means small.
After looking over, I found that the door of this peculiar building was completely covered with blue bricks, each brick being more than three feet thick.
The crowbar broke open, and I took the lead in getting in to investigate.
After I entered, I couldn't stand upright and could only bend down. In addition to the broken bricks and tiles on the floor, there were also some things that looked like "saggers".
I immediately realized where this place was.
This is a porcelain well kiln unique to Xixia. Many building components used in tombs were fired here. Later, when the tomb was completed, the place was closed and abandoned.
The Xixia Porcelain Well Kiln is not as famous as the Lingwu Kiln, but it is more mysterious than the Lingwu Kiln. Legend has it that this kiln is specially used to bake things for the dead, such as soul bottles, barns, triple jars, tomb beasts, burial figurines, etc. wait.
These discarded saggers were covered with dust and piled up in the corner. We rummaged around and found many semi-finished architectural fragments and a complete green-glazed two-headed human-faced bird. This thing is valuable. It is called " "Upaka is here", he can be regarded as the follower of the beautiful bird of the West.
I'm a little excited. I have all these things, but I can't guarantee that there is a second sound bird here!
Douyazai suddenly called me: "Fengzi, come here and see this!"
At the bottom, there is a very large sagger. It looks big and thick, more than three times larger than the others. This kind of large sagger may have been used to burn special things in ancient times.
After opening it, I was shocked when I looked at it! I was so scared that I took two steps back.
In this large sagger, there is a bald clay figurine child more than half a meter long with eyes open.
When I shined a flashlight on it, I saw that the facial features of this clay figurine child were lifelike, and its eyes seemed to be alive, staring at me.
I took a deep breath and told myself that this was just an ordinary dead thing, it was nothing.
I was just about to take it out when Jiao Jiuye suddenly stretched out his hand to block me. His eyes were fixed on the clay figurine child lying in the sagger.
Staring and staring, Mr. Jiao Jiu's face looked strange.
Yang Zhenghe asked: "Master, do you have a question?"
Jiao Jiuye squinted his eyes and asked his head in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, have you seen this thing?"
Baotou said with the same solemn expression: "When I was young, I saw someone dig it out. The one was smaller than this one. Master Jiu, is this a Feng kiln doll?"
Master Jiao Jiu nodded: "Most likely, apprentice, don't touch it with your hands, use a crowbar to turn it over. I'm taking a look."
Yang Zhenghe nodded. He borrowed the crowbar from Dou Sprouts' hands, stepped forward and fiddled with it carefully, and used the crowbar to turn the clay child over.
Turn it over to see clearly.
The entire butt of this clay-baked kid is dark black!
