Chapter XVII
What the hell is the river?
But in addition to the river, there is only a rolling mountain in the northwest. It's a pity that only half of this mountain range appeared, apparently because the sand table area was not enough, it should have been omitted.
"Third child, can you tell what kind of mountain it is based on this section of the mountain?" Xing Jie asked.
Unexpectedly, this sentence made the third child's eyes red, and he stared at Xing Jie angrily. snapped out a sheet of Grandpa Mao, only half of it was exposed, and shook it twice in front of Xing Jie.
A group of people were a little confused.
What does this third mean?
Do you want to say that you have money? Or is it a question of a hundred dollars?
"This is a Grandpa Mao, everyone is familiar with it. Xing Jie, tell me, what is the number of this coin?"
Well, Xing Jie's face was a little hot.
This person is a little embarrassed, he doesn't even have a marker, he only holds a section of the mountain range for people to guess, probably, it seems to be a bit of a bully.
"If this river is really the Yellow River, then this should be the end of the Taihang Mountains. The small mountains in the southwest should be the loess hilly area of western Henan.
Once these two signs are confirmed, we can judge them according to the movement of the mountains, the approximate direction, and the time of the ruins. That city should be the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is also the capital chosen by Taikang after the Xia Dynasty of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and it is difficult for me to say whether it is true or not. After all, there is too little information in hand. ”
Xing Jie glanced at it from a distance and felt that it didn't look like it.
The Xia Dynasty should not have such a tall city. With such a tall city wall, let alone the Xia Dynasty thousands of years ago, even if you want to build such a huge city now, it is not easy.
As for how it is not easy to law, how to say it? The old rules, let's use an analogy.
That is to say, if you just hand over the construction of the city wall to the construction team, it will easily create a few millionaires. And this millionaire still picks up those scraps and works out.
As for those who built the main walls? That's hard to say. There are also things like city walls, but not just build a circle, there must also be a circle of urn cities inside.
Also, if this is really like what the third child said, this is really the capital of the Xia Dynasty, then there must be an inner city inside. And the construction of an inner city is not inferior to that of the capital.
In the article "Zhou Li, Examination of Workers, Craftsmen", there is a very clear record. "Fang Jiuli, next to the three gates. Nine longitudes and nine latitudes in the country, nine tracks in the warp Tu, the left ancestor and the right society, facing the back city, the city is a husband!" This 'husband' is what we call a hundred acres.
'Go over and have a look?' Xing Jie asked, looking at the others.
This is simply nonsense, tigers don't care about them, just treat them as tourism, and Professor Yang, as the most orthodox archaeologists, if they can meet a historical city, the excitement in their hearts is incomparable. And this famous city is still the legendary capital of Great Xia?
Historically, it was the capital of Xiahou. I won't talk about how brutal and corrupt this product is, everyone knows it. But there is one thing that everyone admits. That is, the emperor wants to be corrupt, and your national strength must keep up. Therefore, this town was definitely the most awesome city on the entire Southeast Asian continent at that time.
For all archaeologists, the attraction of such a city is absolutely fatal! Xing Jie admits this.
Because of Professor Yang and Zhang Fang, the flames that erupted in their eyes made everyone feel hot.
From a distance, it is very majestic, but if you look closely, it is unimaginable. Because the city and the book record are completely different.
"The royal city is nine miles square, and the city wall is built on all sides, and the wall is seven pheasants (seven zhang) high, and the corner of the city is nine pheasants (nine zhang). There were three gates on each side, making a total of twelve gates. This is the clearest record in the examination record, and there is no speculation in it. However, the height of this city wall, even if it is replaced by the current equivalent of one zhang and three meters, this is far more than the value on this record. The fourth looked up at the tall city wall, his eyes were blank, and he muttered.
"Could it be that those sand table builders deliberately made exaggerated decorations in order to highlight the tall and majestic royal city?" asked the tiger.
"This is impossible, judging from the whole layout, this is a military strategic-level sand table, not made to show the magnificence of the royal city. Its greatest use is to deduce the defense of the city in all kinds of wars! You see, there are still traces of countless post-war battles on those walls. If it's going to be used for show, it's not going to show all the details at all. Zhang Fang shook his head and said.
Xing Jie was in no mood to say anything else at this time, and was constantly circling around the periphery of the city to admire. Although it is not possible to get into the interior of the city, it is quite nice to get around the outside, especially since many of the construction techniques are now completely lost. Even if he can't learn, for Xing Jie, just looking at it can make him satisfied.
"Unfortunately, it's just a model. Otherwise, let's go in and have a look, and that's really cool. Xing Jie sat on the grass and sighed.
"Why can't you get in?" Dazhi asked curiously.
"Is your brain in water? How tall is our body? It's just a sand table model, it's only a few tens of centimeters high, and it's just a gate that looks tall now, but in fact you can't even put your head in. Xing Jie said helplessly.
"But, the tiger kid has already gone in?" Dazhi said, scratching his head, pointing in the direction of the city gate.
As soon as he heard this, Xing Jie turned over and got up, and hurriedly rushed towards the gate. Professor Yang and Zhang Fang were still discussing the irregularities of the city, and they didn't even notice that the tiger had entered the city gate!
"Hurry up and get me out!Are you all stupid? Come out quickly!" Xing Jie shouted at the city gate.
This movement also caught the attention of Professor Yang and the others, and when they saw the tiger inside the city gate, everyone's eyes widened.
It's impossible.
After all, it's all illusory, just a sand table created by using the illusion. Their body is there, how can they get in so big?
After seeing the tiger and a few of them returning to the outside of the city unharmed, a group of people immediately surrounded them.
"Brother Jie, what's wrong with you?"
"How did you get in?"
"What nonsense, of course I walked in. ”
"You bastard, did I ask you if you didn't feel anything wrong when you went in? This is just a sand table model caused by an illusion, how can you get in?"
The tiger opened its mouth and was a little silly. I was so fascinated by it just now that I didn't react for a while. Wait until Xing Jie says this. Only then did he realize what had just happened.
"Brother Jay. I didn't notice myself just now and walked in. I don't notice anything uncomfortable about me now. But if you have to say anything different, there are two things. After entering the city gate first, the way of walking returned to normal. Second, I looked inside at the city gate. There seems to be someone in that city!"
