Section 123 The Queen's Summer
Such a picture came to Chen Rui's mind.
One day, thousands of years ago, heavy rain caused a landslide and carried a large amount of sediment to cover the summer city built at the bottom of the mountain.
At the moment when the mudslide covered the ancient city, countless victims were covered by the sudden mudslide, and the mud mixed with water wrapped their bodies, solidified their last posture, and recorded all the details of the people of Xiacheng before they died.
Many people died, and the bodies were drowned.
Some of the people of Xiacheng escaped and left here to live in another place.
As they left in tears, they drew a map on tanned parchment.
The map shows the location of Xiayanghu, where the ancestors lived for generations, and the Xiayang Lake, where the people of Xiacheng lived for their lives, hoping that one day, they will be able to return to the place where their ancestors lived for generations.
Later, Chen Rui could guess.
The descendants of the Summertown never returned.
Settle down in a remote mountain forest in the west of the river and multiply.
The parchment map has been preserved.
It wasn't until the Hatada detachment invaded the river and west that they obtained this sheepskin map from the descendants of the Xiacheng people, and sent Kazuo Hirata to find Xiacheng and Xiayang Lake on the sheepskin map.
As a result, Kazuo Hirata and more than a dozen Japanese and local soldiers died in the Radiant Valley.
In the end, Chen Rui obtained a sheepskin map from Kazuo Hirata's corpse.
Found Xia Cheng and Xia Yang Lake on the sheepskin map.
At the foot are the ruins of the summer city.
Chen Rui searched through the ruins of Xia City.
The search lasted for two days.
Harvest is limited.
There are only a few pieces of jade, pottery, bronze and so on from the Xia Dynasty.
However, Chen Rui knew that there were not only these things in the ruins of Xia City.
Most of the stuff was submerged in the ruins of Summer City by the mudslide.
There was also a part of the stuff that was washed out of the ruins of the summer city by the mudslide.
Chen Rui plans to go underground to search.
Chen Rui stood still, and performed the earth escape technique, and the person turned into a cloud of earthy yellow phantom and sank into the ground.
Chen Rui walks freely underground.
Chen Rui can feel the storage of the soil, and feel the slight pressure of the soil on his body, just like feeling the tight pressure of the water in the water.
The dirt and sand in his sight seemed to Chen Rui to be illusory.
The artifacts buried in the soil are very conspicuous after the mud, sand and stone are illusory.
Chen Rui was 5 meters deep from the ground, walking towards the first artifact found, walking freely, the soil, sand and stone did not hinder Chen Rui's figure.
Chen Rui took the first piece of pottery harvested underground in his hand and looked at it carefully.
This is a Xia Dynasty gray pottery, as a food vessel, folded along the flat bottom, the shape is unique, there is a checkered and rope pattern decoration on the top, very exquisite.
Chen Rui put Tao Gui into the pregnant Haizhu space.
A few minutes later.
Chen Rui harvested the second artifact.
This is a jade Yue, the shape is very unique, and it is somewhat similar to the jade Yue of Longshan culture.
Rectangular, with ridged teeth on both sides and a slightly curved blade.
"This is a grid copper tripod, with a mouth, folded edges, ring ears, hollow quadrangular pyramidal feet, and a band network pattern on the abdomen, and the caster is very exquisite."
"This is a knight, a bronze wine set, a long stream of pointed tails, a corset, a flat bottom, and a three-edged foot, which is unique."
After harvesting the artifacts underground.
Chen Rui entered the real underground ruins of Xia City.
Chen Rui found a big tripod, this is a large square tripod, rectangular, four-legged, thick ears, folded along the wide edge, straight wall deep belly flat bottom, abdomen is rectangular, under the four hollow column feet, the device is based on the cloud and thunder pattern, the strength is decorated with ribbon-like gluttonous patterns, the upper part of the foot is decorated with embossed gluttonous patterns, and the lower part is decorated with two convex string patterns.
The shape is thick and elegant, the momentum is magnificent, the decoration is beautiful, and the casting process is superb.
Chen Rui took out a tape measure and measured it against Dading.
The height of the summit is 105.2 cm, the length of the mouth is 112.5 cm, and the width of the mouth is 75.4 cm.
Chen Rui raised the big ding and weighed it.
Weigh at least 700 kg or more.
This tripod is very big.
The casting of this tripod, which weighs more than 700 kilograms, requires at least 1,000 kilograms of raw materials and the close cooperation of about two to three hundred craftsmen.
This is enough to reflect the grand scale of the bronze casting industry in the Xia Dynasty.
Chen Rui found an inscription on the inner wall of the vessel, with 21 lines and 450+ words.
Chen Rui took Dafang Ding into the pregnant Haizhu space.
In order to find out the origin of Ding, Chen Rui also entered the pregnant Haizhu space.
First of all, Chen Rui washed the soil on the tripod with water, so that the tripod was clear and shiny.
Then a digital camera was used to photograph the inscription on the inner wall of the vessel.
Display on your computer, zoom in.
Combined with oracle bone inscriptions, Zhou seals, and hieroglyphs are released word by word.
Chen Rui is not an expert in paleographies, and time is limited, 458 words, Chen Rui read 100+ words.
Although I can't explain the whole inscription, I understand the general meaning of the inscription.
There was a monarch in the Xia Dynasty named Zhu.
Zhu is the son of Shaokang and is a very accomplished monarch.
In order to consolidate his power in the east, he moved the capital from the original east to Laoqiu, and he attached great importance to the development of weapons and the manufacture of armor. He also sent people to crusade against Dongyi in the southeast coastal area, and legend has it that he obtained the mascot nine-tailed fox.
The territory of the Xia Dynasty expanded to the coast of the East China Sea under the rule of Zhu.
During the reign of Zhu was the most prosperous period of the Xia Dynasty, the Xia people had special respect for Zhu, and held a "sacrifice" for Zhu, believing that Zhu fully inherited Yu's career.
This inscription was cast by Zhu's son, Xia Houhuai, in order to praise the exploits of his father, Zhu.
The content of the whole inscription is the beginning of the succession to the throne, describing the relocation of the capital, the development of weapons and the manufacture of armor, the crusade against Dongyi, and the Dongyi tribe to Zhu
Nagong congratulations and other deeds.
Chen Rui named this tripod as Xia Hou Ding.
According to the "Bamboo Year Benji", many monarchs of the Xia Dynasty were crowned with the word "Hou", such as "Hou Qi", "Hou Xiang", "Hou Shaokang" and so on.
The word 'Hou' in the Xia Dynasty is synonymous with 'Jun' and 'Wang'.
'Xia Hou' means 'Xia Wang'.
Because this four-legged square tripod was cast to commemorate and praise his father during the reign of Xia Houhuai.
Therefore, the four-legged square tripod was named 'Xia Hou Ding' by Chen Rui.
No other evidence is needed, and this 'Xia Hou Zhu Ding' alone proves the existence of the Xia Dynasty.
Moreover, Chinese history formed a civilization in the Xia Dynasty.
As we all know, several main characteristics of civilization: writing, bronze smelting, city-state, religious rituals, can only be called civilization if these conditions are met.
Needless to say, there are 458 inscriptions cast on the inner wall of 'Xia Hou Zhuding', which shows that there was writing in the Xia Dynasty. The writing of the Xia Dynasty is very mature, very standardized, and very complete.
Bronze smelting, the Xia Dynasty was able to cast 700 kilograms of Dading, which can show that the Xia Dynasty mastered the very superb bronze smelting technology and bronze casting technology, and developed the bronze technology to the point of reaching the peak.
