The people in charge of security tried their best to maintain order, asking everyone not to crowd and let everyone watch it in the future, but the onlookers were not less interested and talked about it. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the relics were cleaned, and finally the water dyed red by cinnabar and patent leather was pumped away, revealing the waist pit and the bottom of the raw earth. The people who operate under the water are very proud, some say that this tomb is dug cleanly, and Master Hou Delong said, the bottom is bright, don't worry, you won't drop anything.

Although the tomb is not big, but well preserved, the burial goods are extremely rich, a total of 1928 pieces of burial goods of different materials have been unearthed, there are bronze, jade, gemstone, ivory, bone, mussel, etc., the most can reflect the level of cultural development of Yinxu is bronze and jade. There are a total of 468 pieces of bronze ware, mainly ritual utensils and weapons, and the categories of ritual utensils are relatively complete, including cooking utensils, food utensils, wine vessels, water utensils, etc. More in pairs or in groups, the owl of the women's good inscriptions, the owl, the small square tripod each a pair, the group such as the round tripod 12 pieces, each group of 6 pieces, the copper bucket 8 pieces, each group of 4 pieces. The inscription of Simu Xin has a pair of generous tripods and four-legged tripods. Other inscriptions, there are pairs of square pots, square statues, round pots, etc., and most of them are equipped with 10 goblets and 10 jue. ”

Xiao Huang looked at the tomb and said with some excitement.

There are 190 bronze ritual vessels with inscriptions, including 109 pieces of inscriptions with "good women", accounting for more than half of the bronze vessels with inscriptions, and there are many large heavy vessels and novel and unique utensils. Such as owls, circle-footed beautiful shapes, and complicated patterns. Triple and even Fang Yi can be said to be the first time. ”

"It is a cooking utensil used by the ancients, similar to a modern steamer, divided into two layers, the middle waist is tightly bound, the lower part is a mustache, generally 3 hollow bag feet, can store water, the upper part is a retort with a penetrating bottom, used to place food, so that the water steam can be cooked, and there is a hole grate between the upper and lower layers. The triplet consists of a rectangular retort and three large retorts. The frame resembles a forbidden shape, and the face has three raised trumpet-shaped circles. Can hold up to three large retorts. The abdominal cavity is hollow, flat-bottomed, and there are six flat feet underneath. The outsole has a cross-shaped cast seam. The shelf surface is decorated with three groups of dragon patterns, divided into three circles, the dragon head is made in a side shape, the heads at both ends are facing down, and the head in the middle is facing up. Before one end of the beaulieu there is a beast face and a dragon. The tail of the dragon is decorated with diamond patterns and small triangles. The four corners of the shelf are decorated with cow's head patterns, and the cow's mouth is outward. The wall around the circle mouth is decorated with triangular patterns and a circle of moire. There are also fine patterns on the four walls of the shelf: five groups of dragon patterns and six large circular fire patterns on each side of the long side, which are separated from each other, and the lower side is decorated with 10 large triangle patterns, and the short side is decorated with a dragon in the middle of each side. The sides are decorated with large circular fire patterns. The main pattern is based on the thunder pattern. There is an inscription on the inner wall of the middle circle. The retort is larger, with a diameter of three or three centimeters. Open, the lower abdomen is sharply closed, the bottom is concave, there are three fan-shaped holes at the bottom, and the head of the beast is semicircular and hollow ears. There are two thin ridges under the mouth, decorated with two groups of swimming dragon patterns, each group of two dragons, the head is opposite. Take the thunder pattern as the ground. The upper and lower sides of the dragon's body are filled with circular fire patterns. There are inscriptions on the inner walls of the mouths and the outer walls under the ears of the three retorts. ”

Worried that Wang Zhong didn't understand, Li Lao explained with a smile.

"The triple retort is a stove-shaped device used with a retort, which can steam the same or different foods of the three retorts at the same time, and can move the position. Easy to use, it is an innovation in cookware. The steam column retort is actually a steam pot, and the steam pot steamed chicken is a delicacy. The same cookware appeared more than 3,000 years ago, which is enough to show that the Yin people are also deliberately refined in food. ”

"The number of ornaments is the largest, with more than 420 pieces, most of which are worn with jade ornaments. A small number of them are inlaid jade ornaments, and a few are ornamental items. The jade people are the physical materials that study the hairstyles, headdresses, and clothing of the people of the time. All kinds of animal-shaped jade are decorated with myths and legends of dragons and phoenixes, monsters and beasts with animal heads and bird bodies, and a large number of bionic animal images, with wild beasts, domestic animals and poultry birds as the majority, such as tigers, bears, elephants, monkeys, deer, horses, cows, sheep, rabbits, geese, parrots, etc., as well as fish, frogs and insects. Jade carving artists are good at grasping the ecological characteristics and habits of different animals, and the carved animal images are full of life, such as a deer looking back, showing an alert look, and the praying mantis with its head tilted to one side looks leisurely and vivid. In addition to jade, there are also works of art carved from turquoise, malachite, and green crystals, as well as agate beads. 3 ivory cups, two in pairs, beautiful shape, exquisite carving, can be called the treasure of the country. ”

Xiao Huang said excitedly.

"Is there a valuable clue, or is there an item that can prove the identity of the tomb's owner?"

Li Lao was not carried away by the digging shun, but asked calmly.

Of the more than 10,000 oracle bones unearthed from the oracle bone cave, she appeared more than 200 times! And the content of Wu Ding's prayers to heaven in these divinations includes all aspects of a woman's life: conquest, childbirth, illness, and even what happened to her after her death. It shows that Wu Ding is very attentive to women. ”

Xiao Huang glanced at the information and said affirmatively.

"What else is there to prove it?"

Elder Li did not immediately make up his mind, but asked seriously.

"When I was scrubbing the big ding, I found that it had the inscription "Simu Xin" on it. "Simuxin" is the temple number used in the sacrifice, which makes me feel that the identity of the owner of this tomb should be unusual. Because according to the research of Simu Wu Dafang Ding unearthed in 1939, "Simu Wu" was the mother of a king in the Shang Dynasty. Then, "Simuxin" may also be a royal woman with an unusual identity and status. Later, with the scrubbing of all the unearthed cultural relics, it was found that there were 210 bronzes with inscriptions, including 109 with "good women" inscriptions!"

Li Lao nodded, this is indeed a very favorable evidence!

Among the bronzes with the inscription "Good for Women", there are split retorts (stoves) and 3 large retorts (steamers). Since there was no fashion for the Chinese dynasties to give away the pot and stove as a gift, it is most likely that the cookware was the tomb owner's own thing. In addition, the bronze Yue unearthed in the tomb is meticulously workmanship, the form is mighty, and both sides are decorated with the head of the tiger pounce, which is the symbol of the supreme commander of the army, and ordinary people are absolutely not qualified to hold such a bronze Yue. Therefore, whether it is from the types of artifacts unearthed or from the inscriptions on the artifacts, the owner of the tomb is the heroic female general and the noble queen recorded in the oracle bone inscription.

The Tomb of Nuhao is the only intact royal tomb of the Shang Dynasty in Yinxu, and its discovery allows people to truly touch the social life, culture and art of the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago for the first time. In addition, the tomb of the woman is also the only royal tomb in Yinxu that can be corroborated with the records of the oracle bone inscription, so as to determine the identity and age of the tomb owner. Therefore, it also provides the most vivid specimen for people to study the cultural history of the Shang Dynasty, and its status in human archaeology and history can be imagined. ”

When Li Lao heard Xiao Huang say this, his eyes showed a more satisfied look, Xiao Huang deserved to be a top student. The summary is very good!

"Did you find the Xuanniao flag?"

Compared with other discoveries, Li Lao cared more about the Xuanniao Banner.

"Nope!"

Xiao Huang said helplessly.

"How is this possible? According to the records, the Xuanniao banner must be in the tomb of the woman!"

Li Lao said with a look of disbelief.

"Was it stolen?"

"No, although this tomb has a robbery hole, it has not opened the burial chamber, so the things are not lost!"

Xiao Huang said affirmatively.

"Can the Xuanniao Banner disappear out of thin air?"

Li Lao said in disbelief.

"We didn't find the Xuanyao Banner, but we did find an unusual stone tablet with four words written on it in oracle bone inscription!"

Xiao Huang Nuo said.

"What is written on it?"

Li Lao asked a little anxiously.

"If you are on the base, you will open!"

"What is this?"

After listening to Xiao Huang's words, Li Lao was obviously stunned. Said a little confused.

"Liu Ji was studying in Shimen Cave when he was a child, and he heard that there was a man named Zhang He nearby, and he went up the mountain to chop wood and got two books, which were very tasteful to read.

One day, Liu Ji left school, and also came to Zhang He's house to listen to him read the book he got from collecting firewood, and the more he listened, the more fascinated he became. Stay and don't leave. Zhang He asked him: "Where are you from, and you won't go back?" Liu Ji replied: "I am from Nantian Jiudu, and my name is Liu Ji." ”

Zhang He heard that he was Liu Ji, and he lived very quickly. And he told him about the book delivered by the white ape.

Once, Zhang He went up the mountain to chop firewood and hung the rice bag on a tree, day and day. He came to eat, and he didn't know who had eaten the food in his bag. For several days, it was like this. Afterward. He crouched down in the grass beside the tree, and it turned out that a white ape had stolen and eaten it. Zhang He caught the white ape while he was eating, and asked it to take the money for the meal. The white ape would actually speak, saying that there was no money, and give him two books. Zhang He followed the white ape to the opposite cave, and the white ape handed over two books, one was "Entanglement" and the other was "Retreat". Zhang He saw that these two books were old and broken, and asked the white ape to give a new one. It said that there is still one more book, which is also old, but it should be given to Liu Ji.

Zhang He smiled and said, "It's a coincidence today, you are Liu Ji, I'll take you to get the book!"

Liu Ji was skeptical when he heard this, and thought to himself that there was no such thing in the world. On the second day, Zhang Heyuan packed a pack of rice and took Liu Ji up the mountain. They waited in the grass for half an hour, and the white ape came to eat again. Zhang He jumped out of the bushes, grabbed the white ape and said, "You said that there is still a book for Liu Ji, and Liu Ji is here today." ”

The white ape looked at it, nodded, took Liu Ji's hand and left, so frightened that Liu Ji's heart was like a dustpan and rice, don't jump, if there was no Zhang He as a companion, he really wouldn't dare to go.

When he arrived at the Shimen Cave, the white ape pulled hard, the door opened, and Liu Ji followed in. I just felt that it was zigzag and dark inside, and I couldn't see anything. After groping for a while, I came to a large stone room, and there was a bowl-sized hole above my head, and a cool air rushed in. The white ape climbed up the stone wall along a yellow vine, took out a book from the crack in the wall, and handed it to Liu Ji.

Liu Jicai took the book, and the white ape jumped upwards and closed the cave through the sky, and there was ink in the cave again, which frightened Liu Ji and called him "Uncle Ape". There was only a long echo in the cave. Liu Ji was helpless, so he had to take it step by step and slowly find out. As soon as he exited the hole, a stone slab fell from it, sealing the hole.

Liu Ji returned to Shimen Cave and opened the book to see that it was a book of heaven, which was full of astronomy, geography, formation, generalization, offense and defense, and strategy.

Liu Ji got the book of heaven and read it day and night. Later, he finally became the founding military division of the Ming Dynasty, and he was famous all over the world.

After Liu Guoshi returned to his hometown, in order to repay the kindness of the white ape for sending the book of heaven, he built a temple in the place behind the Qingtian Daling, and made a statue of the white ape, and called it "the prime minister in white". Next to the white-clothed prime minister, there is also a statue of Yunchai Lux who is said to be Zhang He. ”

Wang Zhong thought of the source of this sentence and said with a smile.

"What does this mean? Liu Jidu has been dead for hundreds of years, so don't you still want to invite him out?"

Li Lao said with some surprise.

"Naturally, it won't be like that, I think we must have overlooked something!"

Wang Zhong shook his head decisively, the woman is a high priest, obviously she would not make such a joke.

"The translation is out, the translation is out!"

A staff member shouted excitedly.

"Thirty-six gods, seventy-two earthly evils!"

"What does that mean?"

This time, both Li Lao and Wang Zhong felt at a loss. This oracle is so tongue-twisting!

"Any other hints?"

Wang Zhong also looked at the oracle bone inscription in front of him with a big head, but he didn't expect this smart queen to play a word game with himself, he believed that as long as he deciphered the hidden words, he would definitely be able to find a breakthrough.

"Mr. Wang, have you ever heard of this tongue twister?"

The woman said with some expectation.

"I don't know!"

Wang Zhong shook his head and paced slowly. It's a habit of his, and whenever he has a problem, he paces it!

One step, two steps, three steps!

Suddenly, a legend came to his mind!

This legend really has something to do with the thirty-six King Kongs and the seventy-two Earth Demons!

According to legend, when Liu Bowen built the Imperial Palace in Beijing, the emperor planned to build the palace with more rooms and larger rooms, thinking that the place where the emperor lived should be particularly luxurious, otherwise it would not show the dignity of the Son of Heaven. One day, Liu Bowen said to the emperor: "Long live Qijuan, the minister had a dream last night, and he dreamed that the Jade Emperor summoned the minister to the Lingxiao Hall and said to the minister: 'You want to build the palace to the emperor, you sue him, the heavenly palace treasure hall is a thousand, and the mortal palace must not exceed the heavenly palace. You also have to sue him, and you have to ask for thirty-six vajra. Seventy-two earths have to protect the mortal imperial city, so that the wind and rain can be controlled, and the country and the people will be safe. You have to keep it in mind. As soon as the Jade Emperor finished saying these words, a burst of white incense mist rushed over, which scared the ministers awake at once!" The emperor heard and thought about it, and ordered Liu Bowen to supervise the construction of a palace that was less than a thousand, but it was about the same number as the Heavenly Palace, and asked King Kong Disha to protect the palace. This matter spread in Beijing, and the common people were waiting to see how Liu Bowen repaired the palace and how to invite the immortals of the thirty-six kings and seventy-two earths to protect the palace.
