Chapter 287: The Epitaph of Cao Chong, the Commander of the Han Cavalry
"I'm afraid that's it!" Chen Danyang responded, "Let's go, let's go in!"
Dajun and Kuroko observed for a moment, nothing unusual, and nodded together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After entering the tomb, standing on the square stone platform to look at the dome of the nine palace flying stars, a lot clearer, if according to the direction of the tomb, the handle of the Big Dipper points to the southeast, the time represented should be the turn of spring and summer.
The bulge of the Big Dipper is relatively large, and the bulge of the left auxiliary star and the right star is relatively small.
This is in line with reality.
The penultimate star of the Beidou bucket handle, the name is Kaiyang, and the folk also call it Wuqu Star. On both sides of Kaiyang, there are two looming stars, which are the left auxiliary star and the right auxiliary star.
These two stars are not easily visible to the naked eye unless the weather is excellent and the eyesight is excellent. At the same time, these two stars have been auspicious stars since ancient times, and the name can also be seen that they are the attributes of Fubi. Therefore, the protrusion is carved relatively small, and the meaning is also consistent with reality.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Danyang didn't have any understanding for a while, "Let's look at something else first, go back and think about it slowly." ”
After that, Chen Danyang took out his camera and took pictures carefully.
At this time, Sun Zhongyuan stood on the platform and looked ahead, but found that there was actually a stone tablet behind the catalpa coffin!
"Let's look at this first!" Sun Zhongyuan took a flashlight, didn't care about looking at the gold-painted pattern on the coffin, bypassed the coffin, and came to the stone stele.
On the stone stele, there are a lot of words densely engraved!
On the far left, there is a column of large official scripts: Epitaph of Cao Chong, the commander of the Han Dynasty!
"Cao Chong?" Sun Zhongyuan couldn't help shouting!
The other three were also attracted and quickly came forward.
"Could it be that this tomb was set up by Cao Cao? This son who died young, he likes it the most!" Chen Danyang exclaimed.
"That's not right!" Dajun scratched his head, "Didn't you say that the archaeology in the Central Plains region had discovered Cao Chong's tomb?"
"Do you believe that Cao Cao's tomb has been discovered?" Chen Danyang asked rhetorically.
Heizi said, "Cao Cao is the ancestor of tomb robbers, and he once laid seventy-two suspicious graves. As for Cao Chong's tomb, maybe there is a public fake tomb, this is the hidden real tomb!"
Sun Zhongyuan waved his hand, "Let's take a look at the epitaph first!"
On the right side of the big character of "Han Cavalry Captain Cao Chong's Epitaph" is the body of the epitaph: Han Cavalry Commander Cao Chong, the word Cangshu, Yuzhou Zhenren is also ・・・・・・"
Of course, it is impossible for the inscription to have punctuation, which also makes Sun Zhongyuan a little laborious to read.
The epitaph mainly tells a brief life of Cao Chong, and also says that when Cao Chong was seriously ill, Cao Cao once sacrificed to heaven to ask for his life; At that time, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he was still nominally a "Han" cavalry captain.
At the same time, Cao Cao married Cao Chong, the deceased daughter of Zhen, and succeeded Cao Cong, the son of Wanhou Cao Yi, as Cao Chong's son.
From this point of view, among the sarcophagi at the foot of the Zimu coffin, it should be the daughter of the Zhen family, Cao Chong's "wife".
Sun Zhongyuan is a major, the ancient literature has a solid foundation, and the inscription is a normal official book, so although it is a little laborious, it was successfully read.
The last sentence of the epitaph reads:
Jian'an 13 years of August 9 died in the house, the spring and autumn 10 have three, the grief of the son is extreme, that is, the fifth day of October in the year of the year buried in the Dongmeng Mountain belly fairy cave.
There are two very important pieces of information that come to light.
One is "real burial". That is, there are also "false burials". This "false burial" should be clear, that is, a public burial in one place. But in fact, Cao Cao, who was "so sad about his son", secretly buried Cao Chong here.
The other is the "Fairy Cave". This also shows that this tomb in the mountain was not excavated by Cao Cao, it was originally there, and it is considered not an ordinary cave, but an immortal cave. The feng shui settings here are subtle and abnormal, and it is considered normal to be so.
"It's really Cao Chong's tomb. Sun Zhongyuan thought about it, Cao Chong was born in 196 AD, the year of Bingzi, it is a rat, the water under the five elements numerology, died of illness at the age of thirteen, and he did die of a minor.
This is the same as what Chen Danyang inferred after looking at the feng shui setting of the induction.
Chen Danyang looked at the simple Nine Palaces Flying Star Diagram on the dome again, "This diagram is in line with the feng shui setting of the barberry, and it has nothing to do with Cao Chong's tomb, Cao Cao just discovered this feng shui setting, and then used it to transform Cao Chong's tomb." Judging from the scene, the original feng shui setting, I am afraid that only the dome is marked, and there are no other places. ”
"Yes. Sun Zhongyuan interface, "For a 'fairy cave', Cao Cao didn't dare to move, he went to the place of the green bricks, and it is estimated that there is no feng shui setting." At the same time, there should be no mechanism in this tomb, and Cao Cao should also be afraid of destroying the feng shui of the fairy cave, and the mechanism can only 'exert power' outside. ”
"Are you still opening the coffin?" asked Dajun and Kuroko.
Now, the things outside are four golden lamps and a jade elephant, which can be taken away. However, Cao Cao was not an ordinary person, and there would be no more organs in the tomb, not necessarily on the coffin! This person was proficient in the art of tomb robbery, and there was a great risk in opening the coffin.
Chen Danyang looked at the time, it was just past midnight, and there was still a lot of time, "Let's think about it." ”
At this moment, Sun Zhongyuan took a closer look at the four Changxin Palace lamps and the white jade elephant carving.
This Changxin Palace lamp is the style of the Western Han Dynasty. Because the earliest discovery of this type of palace lamp, there is an inscription, recorded from the famous Empress Dowager Dou's Changxin Palace, hence the name.
These four Changxin Palace lamps are different from the traditional style, the traditional Changxin Palace lamp is bronze gilt, and at the same time it is lit with candles. And these four palace lamps, made of pure gold, seem to be the setting for burning lamp oil.
However, although it is made of pure gold, it is not solid, and the individual parts are hollow. At the same time, the head, the body, the base, the arms, the lampholder, the lamp plate, the lampshade
These parts can be disassembled, which is quite delicate.
These four pure golden palace lamps alone are also priceless. Whether it is the material, the craftsmanship, or the value of cultural relics, it is top-notch.
"Cao Cao is really willing to pay the capital. These four palace lanterns have used a lot of gold alone! Today, the comprehensive value is even more incredible!" Sun Zhongyuan praised.
The army and the sunspot passed by the stone ball, and now they are still a little worried, and they all said, "It's not that nothing has been learned now, safety first!"
Chen Danyang was very happy when he heard what Sun Zhongyuan said, but he was still unwilling, and went to see the white jade elephant carving with Sun Zhongyuan.
This white jade elephant carving, the jade quality is top-level, Hetian white jade seed material. Moreover, the craftsmanship inherits all the advantages of the jade carving of the Han Dynasty, and it does not look like the jade carving during the war of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.
