Chapter 378 Yellow Intestine Question

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

Moreover, in the tomb of King Chuzhuang, the pattern of 'sleeping in front of the back' is also reflected. Although the large number of burial goods placed in it have basically been stolen by Uncle Li and them, Liu Dong can still see from the remaining tomb murals, as well as the remnants of broken pottery and jade, that the middle room belongs to the master's court and meeting room, with an area of more than 800 square meters. The flanks should have belonged to the place of singing, dancing and feasting, where some musical instruments can still be seen, as well as some figurines of wood and pottery.

In addition to these three burial chambers, there is also a chariot and horse burial room on the side, and this chariot and horse room is not one but three, the king of Chuzhuang loves horses, and even does not hesitate to hide horses with the gift of scholars and doctors. In the three-seater carriage and horse burial room, there are still many remnants of carriage and horse vessels, as well as some jade and damaged bronze objects.

In addition to these funerary side chambers, the back chamber is mainly the back chamber where the coffin of King Chuzhuang is placed, and the side chamber where the coffin of the martyr is placed.

Seeing this, Liu Dongcai couldn't help grinning, and scolded Uncle Li, who was already a ghost in Huangquan, half to death in his heart, because there were a large number of solid cypress strips with a length of six or seven meters and a weight of more than three hundred kilograms scattered inside the coffin room of the king of Chuzhuang. All the cypress trees together are more than 20,000.

And these cypress wood is the most advanced burial tool in the pre-Qin period, and it is also the most popular burial tool of the Han Dynasty kings and nobles.

"Timiao" is a kind of burial style, which began in ancient times and was mostly seen in the Han Dynasty. Han rarely used it again in the future. Yellow intestine inscription: The coffin room of the Western Han Dynasty emperor is surrounded by a frame-shaped structure made of cypress wood. The name "Yellow Intestine Inscription" was first seen in the Book of Han? The Biography of Huo Guang". According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty. The yellow intestine inscription is an important part of the emperor's mausoleum with the Zi Palace, the toilet room, the outer coffin, and the golden jade clothes. However, with the special gift of the imperial court, individual lords and nobles can also use it.

The most famous 'yellow intestine inscription' excavated in China so far is the tomb of Liu Dan, the king of Yan of the Western Han Dynasty or Liu Jianhe and the queen of Guangyang, who were excavated in Dabaotai in the capital in 1974.

One of the No. 1 tombs is well preserved, the inscription of this tomb is made of 15,880 cypress rafters, the plane is rectangular frame, the outer diameter is 18 meters long, 10.8 meters wide, about 3 meters high, and the wall thickness is 0.9 meters. There are 30 floors on the north wall. Each floor is paved with 108 longitudinal layers, the east and west walls are also 30 layers each, each layer is horizontally paved with 160 roots, the south wall has a gap (i.e. door), and the east and west sides are 30 layers, and each layer is paved with 34 longitudinal layers. The vast majority of yellow intestine wood is flat, the surface is polished smooth, brown, and the wood is very good, and it has been identified. It's cypress.

In fact, the yellow intestine is inscribed with this burial system. It is modeled after the living palace room of the tomb owner during his lifetime, and the interior is divided into different small spaces to place the utensils and burial goods of the tomb owner during his lifetime. And the larger the yellow intestine inscription, the more corresponding funerary goods will be.

Just like the yellow intestine inscription of King Chuzhuang that Liu Dong Relic Yuanguang 'saw' at this moment, although most of them were destroyed by Uncle Li and them, Liu Dong can still see from its remaining traces that its length is more than 40 meters, its width is also 25 meters, and its height is about eight meters, which is 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 they want to carry the most core bronze coffin of King Chuzhuang, most of it has long been destroyed, almost beyond recognition.

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

Moreover, Liu Dong was also able to perceive the thoroughness of Uncle Li's destruction from the messy main tombs and ear chambers, and the murals that could reflect the life scenes of the tomb owners painted on the major tombs were also oxidized and lost their color after Uncle Li and them entered and exited the tomb many times, and even many of them were no longer recognizable. The loss of these murals has left archaeologists without clues to understand the culture and living customs of the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is an archaeological immeasurable loss.

However, Liu Dong sighed and sighed that he couldn't change anything after the incident had happened.

The only thing he can do now is to get his hands on the more than 25,000 pieces of rusty bronzes, gold and silverware, lacquered wood that have lost their former color, and the silk fabrics and other organic materials that have not been opened in the two bronze coffins that have not been opened for unknown reasons, and present them to the world.

Let more people know about these well-preserved and priceless cultural relics to understand the glorious civilization of the Chu State during its heyday 2,500 years ago.

After sitting on the top of the nameless hill for a while, Liu Dong sighed and stood up. Because this tomb of King Zhuang has been stolen and excavated by Uncle Li, the waterproof system inside has been completely destroyed, and now the entire tomb of King Chuzhuang of tens of thousands of square meters has been filled with groundwater.

Moreover, Liu Dong also discovered the huge thief hole dug by Uncle Li and them with a width of more than six meters and a height of four meters, as well as the jacks they left in the tomb, abandoned tractors, ropes, flashlights, wires, and even generators, and of course, the corpses of tomb robbers.

In the entire tomb, Liu Dong found no less than fifty corpses, which is obviously not a number that a tomb robbery gang can achieve.

It should be that five to six tomb robbers participated in the excavation of the tomb of King Chuzhuang at the same time, perhaps because they had their own ghosts and restrained each other, so they did not make any effort to open the coffins of the king and queen of Chuzhuang that were hidden inside the thick copper coffin.

However, after the entire tomb of King Zhuang of Chu was excavated, these tomb robbers broke out a large-scale life-and-death battle in order to eliminate dissidents and achieve the purpose of occupying the treasure of the entire tomb of King Zhuang, and now it seems that the scheming Uncle Li has won the final victory.

Of course, this is just Liu Dong's speculation, and no one knows what the real situation is after the death of Uncle Li and his gang.

Walking down the mountain, Liu Dong put the scattered things into the mustard seed space and helped up the motorcycle that had fallen on the side of the road. When I first saw this huge terracotta army, I was shocked, my hands were subconsciously clenched, and I naturally tightened the accelerator, and as a result, the Jialing motorcycle flew out like a wild horse. Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise he would have crashed into a stone on the side of the road.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Liu Dong started up, feeling that the car could still be ridden, and he was relieved, otherwise it would be really bad to let him walk out of the mountain.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Liu Dong took one last look, this area of 280,000 square kilometers, twice as large as the famous Xiongjiazun Chu State Tomb in Jingzhou, sighed, held the accelerator in his hand, and the motorcycle continued to drive out along the rugged mountain road.

He didn't explore how Uncle Li transported the burial goods in King Zhuang's tomb to the Yama Cave, which was more than ten kilometers away from the mausoleum, which no longer meant anything to him. He had already got all the things he wanted, and he didn't want to enter the tomb of King Zhuang, which was already filled with groundwater.

……

The Jialing motorcycle was running on the rugged mountain road, but fortunately it was noon, the weather was extremely hot, and the villagers of Guan Jiachong basically did not work in the fields, and rarely went out, otherwise his wolf bèi was estimated to spread throughout the village.

Then it took more than three hours, Liu Dong finally crossed the Fenglong Mountain, the Longshu River, the Iron Knife Cliff and the Woniu Mountain, and came to the convenient and fast outside highway, there is no difficult mountain road, the next trip is undoubtedly a lot faster, but when Liu Dong arrived at the familiar Songzi County, the time has reached 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 wants to leave, in addition to riding a motorcycle, he has to wait for tomorrow.

Moreover, he still has one thing that Old Man Liu explained in his hand, and he will definitely not be able to do it today.

Next, after finding a place where no one was, Liu Dong put the Jialing motorcycle, which had been sticky with a lot of dust and looked a little broken, into the ring space, and then came to the side of the road, took a taxi, and came to the best hotel in Songzi County, after opening a room, Liu Dong first took a bath for himself, and then changed his clothes, and then went downstairs, took a car to the county party committee compound in Songzi County, was interrogated at the door, and was registered before Liu Dong was let in by the doorman.

The compound of the county party committee in Songzi County is not too old, with evergreen trees and blooming flowers on both sides of the road, and a total of eight white buildings about five stories high in two rows and four rows on both sides of the main road in the center.

When Liu Dong walked by, he saw government workers returning home from work from time to time, as well as elderly people walking and watching their children. Regarding the appearance of Liu Dong, a stranger, people just looked at him twice and didn't pay much attention to it.

Because he had the address given by Mr. Liu, Liu Dong easily found the eldest son of the old man, who was also the home of Liu Weijun, the magistrate of Songzi County.

When Liu Dong knocked on the door, 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.

"You are?" The middle-aged woman looked at Liu Dong suspiciously, and asked a question.

"Hello Auntie, I rushed here from the Guan family, and County Magistrate Liu's father brought something to County Magistrate Liu!" Saying that, Liu Dong raised the white convenience bag in his hand.

"You rushed here from the Guan family?" Li Liping looked at the young man in front of her in surprise, with a white shirt on his upper body, a pair of black trousers on his lower body, and leather shoes on his feet. (To be continued......)
