Chapter 506. Three coffins and one coffin

Lin Yi has never seen the scene of opening the coffin in archaeology, no, to be precise, he has seen it, but on TV, the tomb of a certain prince was found, and then the coffin was excavated, and the whole process was reported on live TV, which caused a sensation in China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But after all, it is the feeling of watching TV, which is similar to watching a movie, and there is always a feeling that is not very real, which is like now, basically seeing the vision in front of you, and then being in the ancient tomb, that feeling is definitely very different.

Not to mention Lin Yi, in fact, even the members of the archaeological team were very nervous at the moment. Yes, as archaeologists, they have been exposed to this kind of ancient tomb excavation, and they have also opened ancient coffins, but the feeling will be different every time. Sometimes those coffins have been destroyed, and sometimes those coffins are not inconspicuous no matter how they look at them, which is like the one in front of them, absolutely attractive.

Ancient coffins are also called coffins, which are very particular. is different from the current one, just one pair, but two together, a coffin, a set of coffins. To be precise, the coffin refers to the utensils that hold the corpse, and the coffin refers to the outer coffin that is set outside the coffin, that is, the large coffin that is set on the outside of the coffin. "Yi - Department of Resignation": "The ancient burial people, thick clothes with salary, buried in the wilderness, not sealed or tree, mourning countless periods. Later generations of saints changed coffins to cover all the great transgressions. ”

In addition, in ancient times, because of the different identities of the deceased, the coffins at the time of burial were also different, and they were divided into fourfold, triple, double, and large coffins. In short, the more repetitions, the higher the status.

In addition, there is the texture of the coffin, there are wood, stone, jade, and even copper coffins, which can be said to be varied and varied.

Lin Yi once read "Dream of Red Mansions", which has an introduction to this aspect.

In the thirteenth episode of the Dream of Red Mansions, Xue Pan came to ask questions, because he saw Jia Zhen looking for a good board, so he said: "We have a pair of boards in the wooden shop, called what kind of wood, out of the Huanghai Iron Net Mountain, made a coffin, and it will not be broken for ten thousand years. This was brought by my father back then, and it was originally asked for by Prince Yizhong, but because he did something bad, he never took it. Now it's still sealed in the store, and no one dares to buy it. If you want, bring it to you." When Jia Zhen heard this, she was overjoyed, so she ordered someone to carry it. When everyone looks, they see that the bottom of the gang is eight inches thick, the pattern is like betel nut, the taste is like sandalwood musk, and the hand buckles it, and the gold and jade are like gold and jade, and everyone praises it strangely. Jia Zhen smiled and asked, "What is the value?" Xue Pan smiled: "Take a thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid there is nowhere to buy it. What's the price, just reward them with a few taels of wages." When Jia Zhen heard that, she couldn't thank you enough."

In this text, it is written that "eight inches thick" shows that this is a coffin of the Son of Heaven level! This also proves that Prince Zhong is at least a quasi-emperor, that is, the crown prince who will ascend the throne in the future. Here it is said that he is bad, that is to say, he is deposed. In a person who also saw that Qin Keqing was not an ordinary person, he could use a coffin at the level of the Son of Heaven! At least it can explain what she has to do with the waste prince to use this coffin!

Looking at the coffin that the archaeological team is now preparing to open the coffin--- it is made of huge wooden planks and placed in the middle of the tomb. The upper and lower sides of the coffin are filled with charcoal and white plaster, and the top is filled with layers of soil and tamped.

It is said that Captain Zhang Boyuan Zhang is an old man of the archaeological team and has rich archaeological experience, so when he saw such a huge coffin, his first thought was that this was at least a double coffin. Otherwise it wouldn't be so big.

And the people who can use the double coffin for burial will definitely not be ordinary people, at least they are people with status and status; And this coincides with everyone's initial speculation, that is, the identity of the owner of this tomb is not simple.

At this moment, the personnel who have passed the examination have cleaned up the charcoal and white plaster around the coffin, and presented the entire coffin.

The outside of the coffin is painted with black lacquer as a whole, carved with black and white patterns, Lin Yi carefully screened it, but it is the story of "Nine Heavens" in Taoist lyrics.

The Nine Heavens is the path of ascension that Taoism has always admired, saying that if a person cultivates the Tao well or behaves well when he is alive, he will be able to be guided by the Nine Heavens Fairy when he dies, and fly to the Nine Heavens to reach Elysium.

And at this moment, the pattern is about a person who ascends to the Nine Heavens after death, and the first picture is a slender person who has died, and a group of people are kneeling and crying sadly. The second picture shows someone changing clothes for the deceased and buying various funeral items. The third picture shows people beating gongs and drums, wearing white clothes, and burying the deceased in a feng shui treasure between mountains and rivers. The fourth picture shows the souls of the dead wandering around the tomb. In the fifth picture, there is a fairy who came down from the sky and turned into a beautiful phoenix, guiding this wisp of soul to soar to the sky. The sixth picture shows that after ascending to the sky, there are wonderful things everywhere. The seventh picture shows the dead man in heaven, listening to fairy music and enjoying food. The eighth picture shows that every time it is time to sacrifice, the family members in the world have set up sacrifices for her (him), but she (he) is looking down from the sky to the earth.

Appreciating the depiction on the coffin outside, Lin Yi can roughly see that the people in this coffin are probably also people who believe in Taoism, but they have the same "hobby" as the people in the great ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, no wonder they are buried below.

In addition, Taoism in the Ming Dynasty should be the most prosperous in the Jiajing period, Wanli because of its suffering, at first hated it, but in the late period it also began to believe, and generously gave the "Zhengyijiao" immortals, in the excavation of Dingling, and even dug out a Wanli Emperor for the emperor to wear the robe.

Whether it is ancient or modern, it is the same, as long as the emperor or the person in power likes something, the people will also be popular. Therefore, in many ancient tombs of the Ming Dynasty, there are basically a lot of Taoist utensils and clothing.

But now is not the time to think about these issues, the first layer of this coffin has been opened. In everyone's opinion, it is already very good that this coffin can have a double layer, but surprisingly, it seems that there is still a layer!

Could it be two coffins and one coffin?

After removing the "coffin" outside, this first coffin was made of solid wood, which looked like cypress, which was strong and durable, and was the most common in ancient times.

Taking a deep breath, Captain Zhang, who had been able to stabilize his emotions, became a little nervous, and Lin Yi also became nervous inexplicably, because they all knew what the more coffins were recounted, what did they represent......

"Continue to open ---!" Captain Zhang gave the order.

The members of the archaeological team also took a deep breath, and once again carefully exerted all their strength to open the second layer of coffin.

A miracle happened again, and a coffin was really revealed!

was guessed correctly by Captain Zhang, this is the rhythm of "two coffins and one coffin".

The identity of this tomb owner is definitely not simple!

Look at the texture of this coffin is camphor wood, this kind of wood can effectively prevent insects, but also prevent the erosion of snakes, insects, rats and ants, so the price is also very expensive in ancient times, can afford to use such wood to make coffins, the home must be very solid.

However, what surprised everyone continued was that Captain --- Ma decided again that he could open another coffin.

How can it be?

That is worthy of the name of "three coffins and one coffin", if that is the case, the identity of the tomb owner is at least a prince and general--- you must know that the No. 1 tomb of Mawangdui in Changsha is also a "three coffins and a coffin" style.

The sound of a thumping heartbeat, everyone you look at me, I look at you, all of them can't help but feel nervous and excited.

If another coffin had to be opened, what kind of miracle would it be?

"Ga Zhizhi!" The heavy coffin was skillfully pried open by the archaeological mobilization with a sharp weapon, and then carefully moved aside. The last coffin finally appeared in front of everyone.

The final result of "three coffins and one coffin" is about to be presented---

Looking at the material of this last coffin, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, the whole coffin was made of very rare golden silk nanmu!

You must know that the wood of Jinsi Nan is hard and corrosion-resistant, and there is a saying that "water cannot be soaked and ants cannot burrow" since ancient times. The growth of golden silk nanmu is slow, and its growth law makes the big pot late blooming, and it will take hundreds of years to become a pillar material. Therefore, it has always been the best coffin for burial.

Because this kind of wood is very scarce, it is even more unique to be able to make a coffin, and the estimated price of such a huge piece can reach tens of millions.

If the wood of this coffin is already surprising, then the painting of the coffin carving is even more surprising. Because it is a very rare "painted coffin"!

I saw that this golden silk nanmu was pink and vermilion lacquer inside and out. Length 230 cm, width 92 cm, height 89 cm. The outer wall is painted with bright colors such as green, pink brown, lotus brown, russet, yellow and white on the vermilion lacquer, painting the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, Shuanglu Tengyun, Shuanglong piercing the wall, as well as immortals, clouds, fairy deer, etc., the whole picture is full of the mysterious atmosphere of overseas fairy mountains and fairy caves, and expresses the intention of auspicious ascension to immortals.

Seeing this, including Lin Yi, the spirits of many archaeological team members have been numbed by tension and excitement.

However, in the end, the coffin seemed to be relatively difficult to open, and the four or five archaeological team members all tried their best to open the golden silk nanmu.

At this time, Captain Zhang was a little anxious, rolled up his sleeves, and greeted Lin Yi: "This guy is heavy, let's go too!" ”

Lin Yi nodded, took off his coat, and went up directly with Captain Zhang---

After all, it is the archaeological team, after all, it is often dealing with the coffin, after the strength of the personnel is enough, the heavy golden silk nanmu coffin finally made a clicking sound, and the corpse gas that has been accumulated in the coffin for hundreds of years leaked out, but fortunately, the big guys are all wearing masks, so they are not choked---

Looking at the coffin that has been opened, everyone is excited, and their eyes are staring at the open coffin, you know, the most exciting moment is coming! (To be continued.) )
