Chapter three hundred and seventy-eight yellow intestines

Chapter 378 Huang Chang Ti Cou

......... Of course, the interior of the central coffin chamber is also divided into several different tomb chambers, and the separated walls also become the main body supporting the entire tomb chamber.

Moreover, the tomb of King Chuzhuang also reflects the pattern of 'chambers in the front and sleeping in the back'. Although the large number of funerary objects placed in it have basically been robbed by Uncle Li and others, Liu Dong was still able to get out of the remaining tomb chambers.

From the murals, incomplete pottery and jade remnants, it can be seen that the middle room belongs to the owner's court meeting and reception room, with an area of ​​more than 800 square meters. The two sides should be places for singing, dancing and banquets, which can still be seen here.

Some musical instruments, as well as some wooden and pottery figurines.

In addition to these three tombs, there are also chariot and horse burial chambers next to them, and there are not one but three chariot and horse chambers. The record that King Chuzhuang loved horses and even used the courtesy of a scholar-official to hide them is not groundless.

In the three chariot and horse burial chambers, there are still many remaining chariot and horse utensils, as well as some jades and damaged bronze utensils.

In addition to these side rooms for burials, the back room mainly contains the coffin of King Chuzhuang, and the side room where the coffins of the martyrs are placed.

Seeing this, Liu Dong couldn't help grinning, and he scolded Uncle Li who had already gone to hell again, because there were a large number of solid objects with a length of six to seven meters and a weight of more than three hundred kilograms scattered inside the Chuzhuang King's Coffin Room.

Cypress sticks. All the cypress logs combined exceed 20,000 sticks.

These cypress trees were the most advanced burial furniture in the pre-Qin period, and they were also the most popular burial furniture "Huang Chang Ti Cou" among the aristocrats of the Han Dynasty.

"Tizuo" is a burial style that began in ancient times. It was mostly seen in the Han Dynasty and was rarely used after the Han Dynasty. Huangchangtizuo: a frame structure made of cypress wood around the coffin room of the emperor's mausoleum in the Western Han Dynasty. "Huangchangtizuo"

"The name "Huo Guangzhuan" was first seen in the "Book of Han? Huo Guang Zhuan". According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, Huang Chang Ti Cou was an important part of the emperor's tomb, along with the Zi Palace, the living room, the outer coffin, and the golden jade clothes. However,

It has been specially gifted by the imperial court and can also be used by individual noble officials and relatives.

The most famous "Huang Chang Ti Cou" excavated in China so far are the two tombs of the Western Han Dynasty King Liu Dan of Yan or King Liu Jian and Queen of Guangyang Qing excavated in Dabaotai, Beijing in 1974.

Among them, Tomb No. 1 is better preserved. The tomb is made of 15,880 cypress rafters. The plane is in the shape of a rectangular frame. The outer diameter is 18 meters long and the height is about 3 meters. The north wall has a total of 30 floors.

There are 108 roots laid vertically on each layer, 30 layers on each side of the east and west walls, and 160 roots laid horizontally on each floor. There is a gap (i.e. door) on the south wall. There are 30 layers on the east and west sides, and 34 roots laid vertically on each floor. Most of the yellow intestine trees are made.

It is flat. The surface is polished smooth, it is brown, and the wood is very good. It has been identified as cypress.

In fact, the burial system of Huangchangtizuo is modeled on the living palace of the tomb owner during his lifetime. The interior of the tizuo is divided into different small spaces to place the utensils and burial objects of the tomb owner during his lifetime. The larger the Huangchangtizuo, the corresponding

There will also be more grave goods.

Just like the Huangchang inscription of King Chuzhuang that Liu Dong's relic Yuan Guang 'saw' at this moment. Although most of them were destroyed by Uncle Li and the others, Liu Dong could still see from its remaining traces that its length was more than

It is 40 meters long and 25 meters wide. It is about eight meters high and is exactly rectangular.

Of course, now it can only be seen that it is a rectangle, because this huge yellow intestine inscription, probably because Uncle Li and others had to carry the most important bronze coffin of King Chuzhuang, most of it had long been destroyed, almost beyond recognition.

.

"What a pity!" Although he is not an archaeologist, he also understands the great value of this Huangchang inscription.

Moreover, Liu Dong was able to detect the thoroughness of Uncle Li's destruction from the messy main tomb chambers and side chambers. Moreover, the murals originally painted on the major tomb chambers that reflected the life scenes of the tomb owners were also in Li's eyes.

After the uncles and others visited the tomb many times, they lost their color due to oxidation, and many of them were even unrecognizable. The loss of these murals caused archaeologists to lose clues to the culture and living customs of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is an archaeological

An immeasurable loss.

However, Liu Dong lamented that he could not change anything after what had happened.

The only thing he can do now is to get more than 25,000 rusty bronzes, gold and silverwares, lacquered woodwares that have lost their former color, and two unopened ones for unknown reasons.

The silk fabrics and other organic materials present in the bronze coffin are truly preserved and presented to the world.

Let more people learn about the splendid civilization of Chu State at its peak 2,500 years ago through these well-preserved and priceless cultural relics.

After sitting on the top of the nameless hill for a while, Liu Dong sighed and stood up. Because the tomb of King Zhuang had been robbed by Uncle Li, the waterproof system inside had been completely destroyed. Now the entire tomb has tens of thousands of people.

The square meter tomb of King Chuzhuang has been filled with groundwater.

Moreover, Liu Dong also discovered the huge robbery hole that Uncle Li and the others dug, which was more than six meters wide and four meters high, as well as the jacks, abandoned tractors, ropes, flashlights, wires, and even the jacks they left in the tomb.

The generator, of course, also includes the corpse of the tomb robber.

In the entire tomb, Liu Dong found no less than fifty corpses, which was obviously not a number that a tomb robbing gang could reach.

It seems that five to six tomb robber gangs participated in the excavation of the tomb of King Chuzhuang at the same time. Perhaps it was because they had their own agendas and restrained each other that they did not try their best to open the tomb hidden in the thick copper.

Inside the coffin of the King and Queen of Chuzhuang.

However, after plundering the entire tomb of King Zhuang of Chu, these tomb robbers broke out into a large-scale life-and-death fight in order to eliminate dissidents and seize the entire treasure of King Zhuang's tomb. Now it seems that the wily Uncle Li got the final victory.

victory.

Of course, this is just Liu Dong's speculation. After Uncle Li and his gang died, no one knows the real situation.

Strolling down the mountain, Liu Dong put the scattered things into the mustard space and helped up the motorcycle that was leaning on the roadside. When he first saw this vast terracotta warriors and horses, he was shocked and clenched his hands subconsciously.

He naturally stepped up the accelerator, and the Jialing motorcycle flew out like a wild horse. Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise he would have hit a stone on the roadside.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Liu Dong started it. He felt that the car could still be ridden, and he felt relieved. Otherwise, it would be really bad for him to walk out of the mountain.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Liu Dong took one last look at the Mausoleum of Prince Zhuang, which covers an area of ​​280,000 square kilometers, twice the size of the famous Xiongjiazhong Chu Tomb in Jingzhou, and sighed.

After taking a breath, he held the accelerator and the motorcycle continued to drive out along the rugged mountain road.

He did not explore how Uncle Li and the others transported the funerary objects from King Zhuang's mausoleum to the King of Hell's Cave, which was more than ten kilometers away from the mausoleum. These were meaningless to him. Everything he wanted to get was already in hand.

And he didn't want to enter Prince Zhuang's Tomb, which was already filled with underground water.



The Jialing motorcycle was racing on the rugged mountain road. Fortunately, it was noon and the weather was extremely hot. Basically, the villagers in Guanjiachong did not work in the fields and rarely went out. Otherwise, his embarrassing appearance would have spread throughout the village.

.

After spending more than three hours, Liu Dong finally crossed Fenglong Mountain, Ambergris River, Tiedao Cliff and Woniu Mountain, and came to the convenient and fast external highway. There were no difficult mountain roads to walk. The rest of the journey

It was undoubtedly much faster, but by the time Liu Dong arrived at the familiar town of Songzi County, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, there were no long-distance buses in Songzi County, and there were no railways here. So even if Liu Dong wanted to leave, besides riding a motorcycle, he could only wait for tomorrow.

Moreover, he still has one thing that Mr. Liu told him to do, and he will definitely not be able to leave today.

Next, after finding a place where no one was around, Liu Dong put the Jialing motorcycle, which had a lot of dust on it and looked a little broken, into the ring space, then went to the roadside and took a taxi.

After arriving at the best hotel in Songzi County, Liu Dong took a bath and changed his clothes before he went downstairs and took a car to the county party committee compound in Songzi County.

After being interrogated at the door and registered, Liu Dong was let in by the guard.

The county party committee compound in Songzi County is not too old. There are evergreen trees and blooming flowers on both sides of the road. There are two rows and four rows of eight white buildings about five stories high located on both sides of the central main road.

When Liu Dong walked by, he saw government workers returning home from get off work from time to time, as well as old people walking and looking after their children. Regarding the appearance of Liu Dong, a stranger, people just glanced at him and didn't pay much attention to him.

Because he had the address given by Mr. Liu in his hand, Liu Dong could easily find the eldest son who beat the old man, who was also the home of Songzi County Magistrate Liu Weijun.

When Liu Dong knocked on the door of someone's house, the solid wooden door inside quickly opened, and then a middle-aged woman wearing home clothes and a heroic spirit appeared in front of Liu Dong.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged woman glanced at Liu Dong suspiciously and asked hesitantly.

"Hello, auntie, I came here from the Guan family. County Magistrate Liu's father brought something to Magistrate Liu!" As he spoke, Liu Dong raised the white convenience bag in his hand.

"Are you coming from the Guan family?" Li Liping looked at the young man in front of her in surprise. He wore a white shirt on his upper body, a pair of black trousers on his lower body, and leather shoes on his feet. Although he looked ordinary, he had a bookish air about him, and looked like an ordinary person.

He has no heroic spirit, and his clean body does not look like a rural person at all, but more like a college student from a prestigious university! (To be continued)
