On the way, Tang Yi showed Diao Qinsan the jade pig dragon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Diao Qinsan is also very strange, about the Hongshan culture, most of the circles know about it, mainly the western part of Liao Province and the northeastern part of Monairobi. It is easy to understand that this is said to be the western part of Liao Province, but it is a bit inaccurate to say that the northeast of Mombasai is a bit inaccurate, because the direction of Mombasai is originally skewed to the northeast, if you only look at the eastern part of Mombasa, the place where the Hongshan cultural site is found should be the southern part of Mombasa.

But anyway, it's a long way from northern Shaanxi, how could you find this in the mountains? The key is also a stone box, which seems to be deliberately hidden here, and there is a bit of a clue.

However, the stone box is no longer available, and Li Laohan's level is limited, so he can't tell the specific situation of the "rust" on the stone box, and he can't infer how long it was. And the "rust" he talks about is not necessarily the same thing as the "rust" that archaeology talks about.

When he arrived at the place, Diao Qinsan first cleaned up the pebbles and dirt in the ditch, or rather the relatively wide trough.

Then, Diao Qinsan took out a probe and pierced it straight, and at this time, he heard a very dull "ding". At this point, the probe plunged more than a foot in.

"There's a slate down there!" Diao Qinsan has a lot of experience in this area, and then he made a judgment.

Except for Li Laohan who came to herd sheep on this mountain, there were basically no people, and the three of them worked together and quickly dug it out.

Indeed, underneath is a very smooth stone slab more than a meter long and half a meter wide.

The slate was not thick, and the three of them could easily open it. Below, there is a stone pit in the shape of "Kai" made of stones, because it is closed to the outside of the mountain, and it is made of stones; The one facing the mountain is open, and it seems to extend into the mountain.

In the stone pit, a pair of dark green dragon head "hooks" are placed.

"C-shaped dragon!" The three of them spoke almost in unison. Among the Hongshan cultures, the most famous ones are the C-shaped dragon and the jade pig dragon. This pair of C-shaped dragons is not small, both are more than a foot long, and there are white spots in some places.

"I see." Tang Yi nodded and said, "Someone is hiding here!" ”

Diao Qinsan nodded, "Judging from the stains of this pair of C-shaped dragons, they must have been wrapped in heavy rust, which has undergone preliminary treatment to remove rust, and has been used by people to reveal the original green jade." ”

Tang Yi looked at the "open" shaped stone pit again, "The stone trough leading to the inside is not sealed, it seems that this is a hint, there should be something in this mountain!" ”

Wen Jia said, "The stone box is just buried in the soil under the stone, and then a pair of C-shaped dragons are hidden in the stone pit below, and then there is a hint, what is this person trying to do?" ”

"Just open it. Hurry up and try to figure it out before it gets dark! As he spoke, Diao Qinsan began to dig along the stone trough leading to the mountain.

As a result, I didn't dig deep enough and ran into hard objects.

Diao Qin Sangan is familiar with this road, and quickly cleaned up the surrounding soil layer, and the loess is relatively easy to clean, and inside, a stone slab is exposed!

The edge of the slab was quickly cleared out, and then it was put down by Diao Qinsan.

Inside, a stone cave was exposed.

In fact, whether it is the "open" shaped stone pit under the stone slab, or the current stone cave, it is relatively simple, otherwise Diao Qinsan would not have opened it so easily.

The stone cave is not big, and it is one meter square inside, but there are nine pieces of ancient jade from the Hongshan culture!

The Jade Pig Dragon and the C-shaped Dragon accounted for the majority, of which three were Jade Pig Dragons, three C-shaped Dragons, and one Jade Eagle, one Hoop-shaped Vessel, and one Jade God Man.

From the point of view of jade quality, it is mainly green jade and topaz, some of which are dark in color, and some are considered yellow and white jade. All the jade materials are old jade similar to river abrasives. As mentioned before, the composition of the river abrasive is very similar to Hetian jade, so the jade quality of these jade objects is very good.

Together with the jade pig dragon that Tang Yi got from Li Laohan, and a pair of C-shaped dragons in the stone pit outside, there are a total of twelve pieces of jade, and if you count the pair of green jade squares that Li Laohan's grandson lost, it is fourteen.

This cave is dry. After taking out these neatly placed jade objects, close to the inner wall, there is also a lacquered bamboo pipe!

Pick up the bamboo tube and shake it gently, it seems that there is something inside! And it's light. The bamboo joints at both ends of the bamboo pipe are naturally closed, which should have been broken from the middle, and the three iron wires were fixed and painted.

"Open it and see?" Diao Qinsan looked at Tang Yi and Wen Jia.

Tang Yi and Wen Jia glanced at each other and nodded.

Tang Yi looked at this bamboo pipe and iron wire, the longest is not more than one hundred and eighty years. This shows that these jade artifacts of the Hongshan culture were indeed hidden here later. Originally, on the high slope of this loess, it was impossible to appear the jade of the Hongshan culture.

Diao Qinsan was more careful, and after unscrewing the wire, he used a defensive posture to knock the bamboo pipe open. However, there is no danger, because there is only a roll of paper inside.

When opened, there were five sheets of paper, all written in small letters. are all traditional characters, and the final payment time is the first year of Xuantong.

In the first year of Xuantong, that is, in 1909, these things were hidden for only about a hundred years.

"You're quick! Here you go! Wen Jia handed five pieces of paper to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi picked it up, and at the beginning, it was written "Fourteen pieces of jade relics from Donghu".

"Let's bury the pits and holes first, as I said above, it's fourteen, and nothing else!" Tang Yi saw this and immediately said.

Indeed, although there is no one on the mountain at this time, it is safer to dispose of it in landfill as soon as possible. Diao Qinsan and Wen Jia filled in the pits and holes, and tried to restore them to their original state.

And Tang Yi looked at it, and a name appeared: Torii Ryuzo!

Tang Yi generally understood what was going on. The statement of "Donghu relics jade" is not accurate, first of all, the age is incorrect, this is just the opinion of Torii Ryuzo at that time. Of course, the so-called "Donghu jade" is the Hongshan cultural jade that was later uncovered and shocked the world.

Although there is such a big deviation in understanding, Torii Ryuzo is still groundbreaking in terms of Hongshan cultural jade. For three years, from 1906 to 1908, he spent three years in Mombasa! The person who hid this batch of jade artifacts and wrote this letter was a private guide that Torii Ryu hid in Mongolia back then!

In fact, as early as 1895, before the smoke of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle had dissipated, Torii Ryuzo, a university lecturer at the Wa Kingdom who was only 25 years old, came to China to conduct field research on ancient relics in eastern and southern Liaoning.

This investigation laid the foundation for two things. First, he later wrote a book called "Report on the Investigation of South Manchuria". Second, he determined that the target of the next expedition was the eastern part of Mombasa!

In 1906, Torii Ryuzo went to a place called the town of Oyefu in eastern Mombasa. This place is located about 300 miles northeast of the summer resort; In this place, there is also a royal mansion. The Karaqin Prince's Mansion is the residence of the Manchu Gong Prince.

Torii Ryuzo was nominally a teacher hired by the royal government. In fact, in the three years since he lived in the palace, his mind and interest have all been focused on the archaeology of the surrounding area!
