Chapter 184: Huaqing Pool
readx;
Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and in order to raise military salaries during his lifetime, he formed the first army specifically responsible for tomb robbery, and the position of Captain of the Golden Colonel was also spread from that time, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's army almost stole the tombs of all dynasties before the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was also the earliest official robbery in history. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and the Three Kingdoms hero is just the opposite, he did too much bad things during his lifetime, and after he died, he was naturally afraid that others would come to steal and dig his own tomb, so before Cao Cao was buried, a total of 72 doubtful graves were arranged, and the allusions of 72 doubtful graves have been widely spread since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, tomb robbery in Henan has become a trend, Zhuang Rui explored a lot of underground tombs with antiquities near Anyang, and found that all of them have been stolen and excavated.
According to this situation, Zhuang Rui deduced that not to mention Cao Cao's 72 doubtful graves, even if he laid 720 doubtful graves, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the crazy excavation of tomb robbers, because he completely lost interest in finding Cao Cao's tomb, and after staying in Henan for a week, he still left.
Zhuang Rui's field archaeology not only wanted to excavate a tomb with archaeological value, but also wanted to investigate the distribution of tombs in Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia provinces, and write them into his doctoral dissertation.
Especially in Gansu, Xinjiang and other places, due to drought and lack of rain, the burial goods of the underground tombs have always been the most well-preserved, and the knitted antiques unearthed in China in recent decades have been calligraphy and painting, almost all of which are found in the tombs in these areas, so to speak, as long as the tombs are not destroyed by tomb robbers, the excavation can shock the Chinese and surgical examination circles.
"Zhuang Rui, you ...... You don't want to excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, do you? Tell you, don't say it's you, even the teacher doesn't have the ability......"
Gossiping with Zhuang Rui, Dr. Ren's eyes suddenly widened, after a few days of searching for tombs, he knew that his little junior brother was relatively high-spirited, and this time he came out to find a tomb that had not been stolen and excavated to excavate, but this China has been up and down for 5,000 years, and the tombs that have not been stolen and excavated on a large scale are really one of the few pitiful, and the closest is the place where the first emperor of the ages lived after his death.
In fact, it is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which has also undergone many hardships in history, such as after Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, entered the customs, he had 300,000 people to steal and dig the Qin Mausoleum, and later in the war-torn dynasties, there were also many warlord forces coveted.
More than 10 years ago, Professor Meng presided over a survey of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and the results showed that the mercury content in the soil under the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was extremely high, and the concentration was enough to poison people to death.
As we all know, mercury is mercury, which is a liquid metal that is easily volatile, and when the air flows more, it will form harmful gases, which can lead to mercury poisoning and death in severe cases, so that if the tomb thieves of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang had visited, then for more than 2,000 years, these mercury should have volatilized long ago, and would not remain in the ground.
In the surrounding area of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, several terracotta pits have been developed, but the reason why the core part of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has not been excavated is because there are still difficulties in technology, and the scientific researchers have no way to ensure that after the imperial tomb is excavated, the funerary goods in the tomb will be completely preserved.
As we all know, the pyramids of ancient Egypt are the world's largest above-ground royal tombs, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in China is the largest underground imperial mausoleum in the world.
According to the "Historical Records", the mausoleum was dug up to a spring in the ground, and the base was reinforced with copper, and a coffin was placed on it...... The tomb is full of rare treasures, the main road mechanism in the tomb is equipped with a bow and crossbow with sharp arrows, the tomb robbers will be shot to death as soon as they get close, the tomb is also filled with mercury, symbolizing the rivers, lakes and seas, the tomb is inlaid with night pearls, symbolizing the sun, moon and stars, and the tomb is lit with fish oil to keep the light forever......
Therefore, from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some people proposed to excavate the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, and more than 60 years have passed, and they have not been able to put it into action, that is, the rash excavation will destroy the precious cultural relics in the tomb, perhaps...... Leave it in the ground forever to really preserve it.
"Senior brother, I want to excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, is it possible?"
Zhuang Rui opened the car window slightly and lit a cigarette, if he could see the excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in his lifetime, Zhuang Rui would be very satisfied, as for now, there is basically no possibility.
When the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was built, there were 720,000 prisoners in the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum at the most, and the Imperial Mausoleum Underground Palace, which lasted 39 years and was not completed, wanted to make it appear in the world, which was not something that could be done overnight.
……
"Brother Zhuang, where are you going? Hehe, we can't set up a tent in the city center today, can we?"
After the car arrived at the center of Xi'an, Peng Fei looked at Zhuang Rui from the rearview mirror, at this time the sky had darkened, the ancient city of Xi'an under the night lights was very quiet, sitting in the car through the glass you could see, the ancient city wall of more than ten meters in the distance was so majestic in the night.
Since entering the Central Plains, you can feel the thick historical atmosphere almost everywhere, whether it is the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, or the ancient city wall of Xi'an in front of you, they have been standing for thousands of years, silently telling people about the vicissitudes of the history of the great changes in the mountains and rivers for thousands of years.
"Let's go to Lintong District to live, it's relatively close to Lishan, where did you go in the army's hard and simple style?"
Zhuang Rui knew what Peng Fei meant, this kid had been with him for a few years, and his appetite had become a little tricky, and he complained to himself yesterday about sleeping in a tent all day.
Zhuang Rui is not the kind of person who has money and is reluctant to spend, the key is that a few days ago in Henan, especially near the tomb, there are very few hotels, even the guest house can not be seen, it is not as comfortable as sleeping in a tent to borrow a farmhouse, of course, now that there are conditions, Zhuang Rui naturally wants to find a hotel to live in.
Lintong was originally a county, and later classified into a district of Xi'an, is the east gate of the ancient capital of Xi'an, from Xi'an City is about 30 kilometers away, Peng Fei did not save money for Zhuang Rui, more than half an hour later, three cars drove into the parking lot of the only five-star hotel in Lintong.
"Hehe, Brother Zhuang, get your light......"
Three students, a woman and two men, are all graduate students of the Department of Archaeology of Beijing University, and they are all graduating this year.
"Yes, Brother Zhuang, this is the first time I've stayed in a five-star hotel, but I think it's more exciting to live in the wild......"
The girl who spoke was called Xiao Lei, who grew up in Xinjiang since she was a child, and her personality was very straightforward and bold, like the first few days when she arrived in Henan, when she was camping, she was not far from the ancient tomb twice, and the two male classmates were so scared that they couldn't sleep at night, and Xiao Lei didn't care at all, and even one day she went to look for the bones of dead people with Zhuang Rui in the middle of the night, saying that she wanted to see what the ghost fire was like.
Dr. Ren once said to Zhuang Rui with a smile in private that this Xiaolei was born to do archaeology, and it was really a waste of talent to be poached by Zhuang Rui's museum.
Since the opening of the Dingguang Museum, Huang Fuyun has dug up a lot of talents from the museum major and the archaeology major of Beijing University, but these three people don't know that the Zhuang brother in front of him is their future big boss, and Zhuang Rui is the owner of the Dingguang Museum.
"Hehe, when you enter Inner Mongolia, Gansu, it is difficult for you to live in a five-star room, you have worked hard these days, take a good rest today......"
Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, after a week of getting along, he was still very satisfied with these students, several people's enthusiasm for work made Zhuang Rui a little embarrassed, when he was as old as them, he seemed to be still living in the pawnshop.
"By the way, let's go to Huaqing Pool to soak in the hot spring tomorrow ......" After completing the formalities and getting the room card, Zhuang Rui said to a few people with a smile, these days have been really hard, and the spirit is very tight, Zhuang Rui also wants to take everyone to relax.
"Haha, long live Brother Zhuang......"
Several people frolicked and cheered loudly, the kind of happy smile and heartfelt happiness on their faces made Zhuang Rui look a little distracted, once upon a time, he was like them, frolicking and playing with the boss and other brothers, but in a blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed, and the innocent student days are gone.
Lishan hot spring can be called a must, its history is long, let the vicissitudes of life change, still inexhaustible, known as "the first spring in the world", Huaqingchi hot spring was formed two or three million years ago, 6000 years ago for the ancestors of Jiangzhai to use.
Since the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, the emperors of all dynasties have built hot pools to bathe here, making it gradually become a royal hot spring, and it is also a gift for the ministers of the court and the central government to bathe here.
And one of the most famous is Huaqing Pool, "the spring cold baths Huaqing Pool, the hot spring water is slippery and washes the cream, and the waiter helps up the delicate and weak, and it is the beginning of the new Cheng Grace", this famous poem through the ages, is the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty, the true portrayal of the concubine bathing in the Huaqing Palace.
Huaqingchi Hot Spring is also famous all over the world, and it has become the "Oriental Sacred Spring" with the ancient Roman Carrikala Baths and the British Basi Hot Spring.
