Chapter 507. Tomb testament
Looking at the coffin that was opened, everyone including Lin Yi was excited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Captain Zhang motioned for someone to come over, took a camera, first took a picture of the coffin, and then carefully opened the entire coffin lid.
Another pungent smell hit the face, and several people felt nauseous even though they were wearing masks. Captain Zhang looked at it and was immediately stunned.
Lin Yi saw that his expression was strange, so he looked at it curiously, and then, he was also stunned.
Inside the coffin was a well-preserved dried corpse. What is shocking is that the usual corpses are lying flat in a regular manner, but this one pushes up with both hands and bends and spreads out. The most terrifying thing was that her head was raised hard, her mouth was wide open, and she seemed to be screaming hard, and she looked extremely pained.
Everyone was stunned, or frightened, although dried corpses are not uncommon in archaeology, but there are very few that are well preserved like this. The more famous is Mrs. Xin Chai, and the xj beauty is a corpse.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the archaeological team, some of them are masters, and when Lin Yi was in a daze, the master had already stood up, a woman, who was responsible for a preliminary examination of the corpse--- and then handed it over to an authoritative institution for a second examination.
According to the preliminary identification of the female archaeological team, the body should be a woman, about 20 years old, and lived about 400 years ago. The body showed neither signs of injury nor signs of poisoning, so why was it buried in such a strange position?
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that there was a black patch between the legs of the corpse. Everyone studied it for a long time, but they couldn't see what it was.
Lin Yi was also watching from the sidelines, but he was not a professional after all, and he didn't have much say in these things. But seeing that everyone was puzzled by this, Lin Yi couldn't help but say, "That...... That black thing, could it be the placenta? ”
Captain Zhang's eyes lit up and said, "It's possible, but you won't know until you test it." ”
The woman couldn't help but glance at Lin Yi, then stepped forward and took a little to study---
Suddenly, she nodded at Captain Zhang.
Needless to say, after examination, the black thing between the legs of the female corpse was really a complete placenta!
Everyone was terrified, and they settled down to deduce carefully, and unanimously agreed that this should be the case.
After giving birth, the woman went into shock, and her family mistakenly thought she was dead and buried her. As a result, when she woke up, she found herself in the coffin, desperately struggling to call for help, bleeding out of the placenta, and finally suffocated to death in the coffin.
She called for help for 400 years and no one answered, but she didn't expect to be rescued now.
If everyone felt sorry and frightened for this poor woman and her fate, then Lin Yi's eyes fell on the funeral goods beside this woman at this time.
To be precise, there are quite a lot of her funeral goods, many of which are women's jewelry, ornaments, as well as jade bracelets, night pearls and so on---
However, Lin Yi did not pay attention to these, but a letter of brocade satin ancient books --- ancient tomb suicide note!
Funerary jewelry is common in women's coffins, and there are very few ancient books for burial. Come to think of it, too, it's so peculiar. Because most of the ancient scholars were men, and they were taught by the tradition that women were not talented and virtuous, and women read very little, so there were very few ancient books that accompanied the burial in many ancient women's tombs, and even if there were some "Women's Training", "The Biography of the Daughters", and the feudal women's monographs that taught the content of "Three Obedience and Four Virtues".
Lin Yi looked at the ancient book, his heart was hot, and he couldn't help but look at Captain Zhang, who knew what he meant. However, this ancient book looks very good, unlike those in the Southern Song Dynasty tombs, which have been muddled into thin mud, so there is no need to repair them on a large scale. However, Lin Yi's hopeful gaze still made Captain Zhang cough and said, "Those funeral goods will be picked up slowly for the time being...... Well, I don't know if there is a problem with that ancient book, Comrade Lin, you can help check it. ”
Lin Yi was waiting for this sentence, nodded immediately, put on his white gloves again, and took out the ancient book very carefully.
……
What is it?
"Women's Training", "Women's Classics", "The Biography of the Daughters", or ---
In the midst of speculation, Lin Yi gently opened the letter, and then saw the four big characters on it, "Zhu Family Tree"!
Genealogy?
It turned out to be --- family tree!
That's right, it is the genealogy of the most authoritative and favorite collection of public sacrifices in ancient times.
As the saying goes, a country has a history, a place has aspirations, and a family genealogy. Genealogy, also known as genealogy, genealogy, genealogy, genealogy, genealogy, etc., is a group of blood relatives of the same ancestor to record the lineage and related deeds of the family, reflecting the historical picture of the reproduction and development process of the family.
Lin Yi remembers clearly that the great literati Liang Qichao once said in "China's Academic History in the Past 300 Years": "Every family in my country has a spectrum, which can be described as a treasure in the historical world. In the future, there will be a National University Library, which will be able to collect all the genealogies of the world's families and allow scholars to study in different disciplines, which is an immortal cause. "A thousand-year-old civilization has gone through vicissitudes of life, and the families of the people in it, no matter how big or small, regardless of whether they are high or low, have rich family stories, and these subtle and vivid family histories and personal life histories weave a long scroll of Chinese history.
For a long time, as a sacred symbol of the clan, genealogy has been hidden among the people and kept secret. With the changes of the times, the historical value and collection value of genealogy are more and more sought after by collectors from all walks of life, and many genealogies that have been sealed for a long time have entered the field of vision of collecting institutions and the public.
As a collector, in Lin Yi's view, today's genealogies, especially those of royal celebrities, will become a new hot spot for investment in the Tibetan community in the future, and their market appreciation potential cannot be ignored.
When it comes to celebrity genealogy, Lin Yi's first thought is to recommend "The First Spectrum in the World" --- "Confucius Family Tree".
As far as Lin Yi knows, among the genealogies about Confucius, the lead copy of the "Genealogy of the Confucius Family", compiled by Confucius's 77th grandson Kong Decheng in 1937, is the most complete. According to this, it can be seen that the descendants of Confucius have been passed on many times, and since Confucius has been descending, seven successive generations of descendants have been single, and the population of Confucius has gradually increased since the ninth generation. The spectrum includes a total of 182 descendants of the Kong family scattered throughout the country. The full spectrum is 154 volumes, with a strict style and proper tailoring, and it is currently the largest line-bound family tree in the domestic collection.
However, the genealogy of the Confucian family with the most historical value and research value should be the "Confucius Family Tree" compiled by the Qing Dynasty dramatist Kong Shangren.
The text is printed in vermilion movable type, which is exceptionally exquisite. Liang Qichao, who was the director of the Beijing Normal Library, collected the score, and in the lower right corner of the first volume, there is a square seal of Liang Qichao's Yin text. The person in charge of the Fang Zhi Hall of the National Library said that the dramatist Kong Shangren is not only a character in the genealogy, but also a genealogy editor, and this genealogy has been collected by celebrities and is a treasure in the surviving genealogy.
In fact, in addition to the genealogies of celebrities with higher collection value, the more valuable genealogies are "jade", that is, the genealogy of the emperor's family.
As far as Lin Yi knows, it is recorded in Taoshu notes that the most famous of the "jade" is the royal family tree of the Song Dynasty, "Xianyuan Genealogy".
This pedigree records the lineage of imperial relatives after the sixth generation of Song Taizu (Zhao Kuangyin), Taizong (Zhao Guangyi) and King Wei (Zhao Tingmei), and is the earliest jade that can be seen today. This jade was written in about the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, although only one page of the remnant score remains, but it is precious because there are very few surviving jade from the Song Dynasty. There are currently only two pieces of this royal family genealogy, one in the National Library and the other in the SH Library.
In contrast, the contents of the jade records of the Qing Dynasty are more detailed and richly bound. The existing more than 1,000 volumes of Qing Dynasty jade are the only royal family genealogy in China that has been preserved intact and survived to this day. The author saw this "Shengzuren Emperor (Kangxi) Fourteen Sons of the Fourteenth Son of the King of Doluo Suiqin County Genealogy" for the Qing Dynasty manuscript, repaired in the 19th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1814), recording the lineage of the fourteenth son of Kangxi, Doro Suiqin County Wang Yunyu, from the Yunzi generation to the sixth generation of the Zaizi generation. Love Xin Jueluo? Yunyu was deeply favored by Emperor Kangxi in his later years, made many military exploits, and garrisoned the northwest. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he was imprisoned by the knight, and he died in June of the 20th year of Qianlong, with the nickname "Qin". The text has three colors, the first is black, the second is vermilion, and the third is black on vermilion. Black is used for deceased ancestors, vermilion is used for people who are still alive at the time of revision, and the last is the name of a person who was not dead at the time of the initial revision but died at the time of the subsequent revision.
In Lin Yi's view, from the Qing Dynasty jade, descendants can see more than 200 years of imperial power change, palace struggles, the inheritance of royal titles and other royal disputes, jade is also China's most complete Qing Dynasty royal population statistics. Therefore, Qing Dynasty jade is a treasure coveted by countless collectors, and it is even possible to call it a "national treasure".
But the "Zhu Family Tree" in front of me is special, because this ancient tomb is from the Ming Dynasty, and the national surname of the Ming Dynasty is "Zhu", plus this ancient tomb is a rare "three coffins and one coffin", which shows that the owner of this tomb is extraordinary. Specific to this female corpse, that is, she is not a golden branch and jade leaf, and it is definitely related to the Zhu family's royal family.
Seeing Lin Yi holding the ancient book in a daze, Captain Zhang and the others couldn't help but wonder, what happened? Is there any secret in this ancient book? People are very curious, so everyone comes together.
Lin Yi didn't speak, and directly handed them the book to read carefully. Captain Zhang, Ye Qiu, Jiang Le, and the rest of the archaeological team all came over to watch.
"The Zhu Family Tree"?
As long as you are not a fool, everyone knows that this time it is a big deal!
Why?
The ancestor of the Ming Dynasty was surnamed Zhu!
Coupled with the formation of "three coffins and one coffin", this hostess, who was basically buried alive, must be a royal magnate!
Excited, nervous!
Everyone who was already exhausted was now as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Captain Zhang stammered a little when he spoke, and he only said one sentence to the big guy, "Hurry up and call your superiors!" ”
There is no doubt that from tomorrow, there will be a gathering of major domestic media---
New archaeological discoveries are about to be made! (To be continued.) )
