Chapter 035: Ancient Tomb

"No way, who made the status of porcelain in the minds of our people so unusual. "Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lu Jiafan said with a smile, "Even in the eyes of foreigners, porcelain is extraordinary. Otherwise, how could they call porcelain China?"

Porcelain and China are collectively referred to as the same word, which shows what kind of status porcelain has in the eyes of people all over the world.

Jiang Weiwen had to smile bitterly.

Professor Han said: "Whether it is porcelain or calligraphy and painting, it is a kind of antique. As long as you can learn any of them well, it will be enough for you to use for the rest of your life. ”

He cherishes Jiang Weiwen's talent, and he doesn't mind Jiang Weiwen continuing to further his studies in calligraphy and painting, but he doesn't want Jiang Weiwen to drill the tip of the horns, but mistake himself.

Jiang Weiwen's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Lu Jiafan also closed up.

Chu Ning saw that the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became a little heavy, and hurriedly said, "By the way, Professor Han, is there something that has been excavated from the ancient tomb we went to this time?"

Professor Han didn't want to make the students uncomfortable, so he said with a smile: "That's right, the excavation of the ancient tomb has made a lot of progress. We were too late to go, but we were afraid that after the past, we would not directly participate in the excavation of the ancient tombs, but to identify the cultural relics that had been unearthed. ”

The excavation of the ancient tomb has been more than halfway through, and now that they have a foot in it, it will not only not help, but will easily disrupt the normal operation.

So, when they arrive at their destination, they are more likely to do some logistical work.

However, the identification of unearthed cultural relics is what they are best at.

"Professor, although you haven't been to the ancient tomb yet, you must already know some news about the ancient tomb, right?" Lu Jiafan said flatteringly, "It's better to tell us about the situation before we get to the place, so that we can be a little prepared!"

Hearing Lu Jiafan say this, Chu Ning and Jiang Weiwen were also interested, looking at Professor Han expectantly.

Anyway, there was nothing to do in the car, Professor Han thought about it, and roughly said some of the news he knew.

Although the excavation of the ancient tomb has not yet been completed, according to the cultural relics that have been unearthed, the experts who went first have determined that the ancient tomb discovered this time should be the tomb of a great official in the Ming Dynasty, and a dilapidated tombstone has also been found.

According to the records on the tombstone, this ancient tomb has been alive for more than 600 years, and it can be determined that the owner of the ancient tomb should be an official of the Yongle period.

It's a pity that the tombstone is too dilapidated, and the ancient tomb has not been well repaired, and many things have been damaged, so until now, the identity of the owner of the ancient tomb has not been determined.

However, the coffin of the owner of the tomb has been found and is very well preserved.

The main reason is that the coffin is very special, so the coffin can be preserved unscathed.

When the coffin was first discovered, it was a huge sarcophagus.

When the sarcophagus was opened, it was not a corpse, but a wooden coffin.

And this wooden coffin is not simple, it is actually made of golden silk nan wood!

The nature of golden silk nanmu is relatively stable, not warped or cracked, durable, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the aroma is fresh and pleasant, so in history, golden silk nanmu is often used exclusively for royals, officials and temples.

In ancient times, civilians used golden silk nanmu without authorization, and even broke the law.

The most important thing is that when buried in the ground, the golden silk nanmu can not rot for thousands of years. Even the emperor's coffin was mostly made of golden silk nanmu.

And the real coffin of the owner of the ancient tomb is not just as simple as this layer of wooden coffin.

In the wooden coffin made of golden silk nanmu, there is even a layer of coffin!

This third layer is where the real coffin is, and the material is even more precious than the golden silk nanmu.

In ancient times, the coffin system represented the identity and status symbol of the deceased.

There is a saying for this three-layer coffin, which is called two coffins and one coffin. Such a coffin, coupled with the official uniform worn by the owner of the ancient tomb, it is not difficult to confirm the social status of the owner of the ancient tomb.

Lu Jiafan had already heard it and became excited: "Professor, is there a lot of antiques from the Yongle period in the ancient tomb?"

Antiques from the Yongle period, not to mention others for the time being, just a porcelain is enough to make people tempted.

Because, it was from the Yongle period that the production of blue and white porcelain gradually began to become the mainstream of porcelain production in Jingdezhen.

The Yongle blue and white not only has a very important historical significance in history, but also is highly sought after in modern times.

Even Jiang Weiwen, who loves calligraphy and painting more, can't help but look forward to this trip to the ancient tomb even more.

"Of course there are antiques, otherwise, what are we going to do?" Professor Han smiled gently, "When the time comes, there will definitely be other experts who will work with us to identify the cultural relics unearthed from the ancient tomb, don't embarrass me." ”

"Don't worry, Professor, we won't let you down!" the three of them said in unison.

It didn't take long for several people to finally arrive at the barren mountains in the northern suburbs.

There are people from the army here, and outsiders can't easily get in.

Chu Ning saw a lot of people in the car probing their brains outside the cordon, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Professor, what are these people doing here?"

Professor Han looked out and said with a smile: "These people either heard the news and wanted to fish in troubled waters, or the reporters sent by major media wanted to get news materials. However, with the army guarding here, it is not so easy for these people to sneak in or get the news. ”

Professor Han has participated in several large-scale excavation operations over the years, and he is no longer surprised by the situation in front of him.

Chu Ning and the three of them suddenly realized.

An officer came forward to verify the identities of several people, and after confirming that they were correct, the four of them were let in.

As for their luggage, it was handed over to the army for temporary safekeeping. When it gets dark, someone will take them to rest and return their luggage.

"Professor Han, you've arrived. A young officer of twenty-seven or eighteen years old ran over happily, "There was a small mistake in the previous excavation of the ancient tomb, many experts have inhaled poisonous gases in the ancient tomb, and now they are in a state of treatment and rest, so that there is a shortage of manpower, and many things are too busy." ”

There is such a thing?!

Professor Han and the others were taken aback.

The older the tomb, the more dangerous it is.

It's not because of any strange mechanisms that may exist in the tomb, but because the corpses in the tomb will produce a lot of poisonous gases after they decompose. After a long period of bacterial reproduction and contamination, these gases will produce a large number of harmful bacteria.

Entering such a confined space without permission is very dangerous and even fatal for anyone.
