Be kind, read books to vote, the last two days, the monthly ticket can't be a cub, or vote!

Han Peacock rummaged through several decoration boxes, and sure enough, he found a red agate anklet, three gold and three gold and silver anklets, a black diamond anklet, and a bronze anklet with a simple style.

Among these chains, although the anklets of gold, silver and gemstones are luxurious, they are not as solemn and beautiful as the bronze necklace, although they look inconspicuous, but among the many gold and silver jewelry, you will definitely see it at a glance.

This anklet is relatively large, at first Han Peacock thought it was a necklace, but he saw that the fall of the necklace was a bronze butterfly, but this bronze butterfly was not straight, but with a curve, although such a butterfly is more beautiful, but it is not comfortable to wear on the chest, and it can also be said to be uncomfortable.

Later, Han Peacock thought about it, isn't the curvature of this bronze butterfly the curvature of a human ankle?

He tried it, and sure enough, the bronze butterfly can be buckled on the ankle, although Han Peacock's ankle is relatively thick and cannot be buckled perfectly, but if you want to buckle it on a woman's ankle, there should be no problem.

Next to this bronze butterfly anklet, Han Peacock also appeared a bronze cicada, and when he picked it up, it turned out to be a ring, and Han Peacock put the bronze cicada ring on his middle finger, as if a cicada was lying on his finger.

Shaking his fist and stretching his fingers, Han Peacock didn't feel a trace of discomfort, it seems that this is also a good thing.

Lying on the bed, Han Peacock stroked the bronze cicada ring with a thick patina. Imagine the charm of this catkins with those anklets, he can't sleep.

It turned out that when there was no woman, there was no thought, so there was no hope, but now that I have it, but I can't hold it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

couldn't sleep, Han Peacock began to harass Liu Wu, gave Liu Wu a few text messages, and finally waited for a reply: I have an emergency here. Get in touch when available.

Han Peacock lamented. There is no way, I can't sleep and go to the Internet café, but fortunately he changed his mobile phone, which can chat online. You can also play games. Of course, you don't have to think about big games.

Just turned on your phone. I heard a text message, which was the investigation information from He Xiangshan.

Han Peacock opened the mailbox and took a look, it was a record of the legends around the Demon City. It's not accurate, it's just a legend, after all, it's only half a day, and He Xiangshan and the others can't do much no matter how powerful they are.

After reading He Xiangshan's investigation report, Han Peacock realized that there were still many emails in his mailbox that had not been processed.

Han Peacock picked and read some of them with interest, all of them were some investigation reports on the treasures that disappeared in the past dynasties, they were all some general information, and they were not of great use, of course, if they really encountered the clues of these treasures, these investigation reports would be useful.

There are more than 20 such reports, and Han Peacock picked a few of them with interest, and the last one was the most weighty, and it was Yue Muling who came over.

This is an investigative report on the mystery of the disappearance of gold in ancient China, and the title is big, but it does have a lot to say.

Han Peacock didn't know if he didn't look at it, he was really shocked when he saw it, he never thought that there was so much gold in the country, you know, now the domestic gold reserves are more than 1,000 tons, which sounds a lot, but is it a lot for a country?

You must know that the social productive forces of today are basically the same as in ancient times, and in this way, China's gold reserves still occupy the sixth place in the world, and the United States, which ranks first, only has more than 8,000 tons of gold.

In ancient China, an important use of gold was that the emperor used it to reward the military generals, so the emperor's reward for gold was an angle to examine the changes in the total amount of gold at that time.

The Book of Han records that the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty (2o6~23 AD) rewarded gold more than 1oo times, and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty records that the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25~189 AD) rewarded gold 9 times, and the total amount of gold awarded in the two awards is about 920,000 catties.

How many tons is 920,000 catties? One catty in the Qin and Han dynasties is about equal to half a catty now, that is, about 25o grams to 3oo grams, and it is calculated according to half a catty, and 920,000 catties is considered to be 460,000 catties, 230,000 kilograms, and 230 tons.

Judging from the changes in the situation of the two Han emperors rewarding gold in the historical records, the number of gold rewards given by the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty was less than 1o% of the number of gold rewards given by the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, and the number of rewards decreased by 9o%; The total amount of gold rewarded by the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was more than 20,000 catties, which was only 2% of the total amount of gold awarded by the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty of about 9o thousand catties, and the reward amount was reduced by 98%.

From this point of view, it seems that the time when a large amount of gold in ancient China disappeared during the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, analyzing the situation in the early and late Western Han Dynasty, there are also huge differences before and after.

After Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, the emperor rewarded a total of more than 20,000 catties of gold, which was only equivalent to 3% of the total amount of gold awarded by the emperor before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (14o ~ 87 BC) of more than 870,000 catties, and the reward amount was reduced by 97%.

Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded a huge amount of gold, which was a special case among the two Han emperors.

If we do not consider the situation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and only compare the amount of gold awarded by other emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, the total amount of gold awarded by the six emperors after Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty in 91 years is equivalent to 39% of the total amount of gold awarded by the five emperors before Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (including Empress Lü) in 66 years.

In the late Western Han Dynasty, the total amount of gold rewarded by the emperor also decreased significantly compared with the early Western Han Dynasty.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the disappearance of ancient Chinese gold began during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, not during the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang gave Chen Ping 40,000 catties of gold to buy Xiang Yu's subordinates;

When King Xiao of Liang died, his palace hid 400,000 catties of gold;

Wei Qing fought for meritorious service and was rewarded with 200,000 catties of gold;

Wang Mang hired the queen as a dowry of 30,000 catties of gold;

10,000 catties of gold in Wang Mang's treasury are a bunch, a total of 60 catties and so on.

In the Han Dynasty, a catty was about 200 grams, and 10,000 catties of gold were about two and a half tons, so Wang Mang's mansion had as much as 150 tons of gold, and a prince's mansion was also 100 tons.

Why did Chinese gold begin to disappear in large quantities after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

How did the hundreds of tons of gold in the Han Dynasty suddenly disappear?

Where did the gold of the Han Dynasty go?

Some people say that the main reason is that the Buddha statue is used up with gold, and this reason seems to be conclusive. It can not be said that it is unreasonable, Buddhism was introduced into our country during the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (58~75 AD), and it was used to paint the golden Buddha and write the golden scriptures, which consumed a lot of gold, and this consumption is different from the creation of utensils, which cannot be recycled, so that the gold is less than one day, and it is gradually lacking.

The exhibition of Buddhist temples and monasteries in China only formed a climate in the early Wei and Jin dynasties, and reached prosperity during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Gold is used in large quantities for Buddha statues and ritual vessels. It should be after the Buddhist temple is on display.

The disappearance of gold in China began in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty before Buddhism was introduced, so the use of gold for Buddhism cannot be the only reason.

As for the fact that gold is used to make zuò utensils, it should not be the main reason for the huge reduction in the total amount of gold. Because gold was weighed as money in ancient China. When there is too much gold, when the price is low, people cast gold as a tool. When gold is scarce and expensive, people destroy their weapons and turn them into gold, and there should be no reason that gold is expensive and people cast gold in large quantities.

According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to advocate luxury. Did this change lead to a huge reduction in gold as a result of the increased use of gold for luxury objects?

Therefore, in the end, Yue Muling concluded that the gold was buried underground, and that there were wealthy officials who hid a large amount of gold, which of course, is also the most acceptable explanation for modern people.

After the huge amount of gold in the Western Han Dynasty entered the Eastern Han Dynasty, it suddenly withdrew from the circulation field and disappeared, and the only answer is that some of the gold was buried or left behind as various gold objects, and the other part was buried in the form of gold coins with the wealthy merchants and officials at all levels.

From the Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty, merchants concentrated a large amount of gold by buying cheaply and selling expensively, while the feudal rulers used state machinery to seize and occupy most of the country's gold.

For example, when King Liang Xiao died, "there are still more than 400,000 catties of gold in Tibet", and when Wang Mang was in the late Han Dynasty, "the gold in the province is a plaque, and there are still 60 plaques, and there are several plaques everywhere in the Yellow Gate, Hook Shield, Tibetan Mansion, Zhongshangshu, and everywhere."

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were also many people who stored gold, such as Dong Zhuo, "built a dock in the eyebrows, and there were 20,000 catties of gold and 10,000 catties of silver in the dock." ”

Moreover, judging from the coins unearthed later, the amount of gold and silver treasures stored in Chinese history is indeed amazing.

Why did they store huge amounts of gold and not use it?

The first is that the merchants who have a large amount of gold store gold for later use, and the second is that the great peasant uprising broke out in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, and the rich officials who hid a large amount of gold died or fled, so that the gold in their cellars, like the huge amount of gold hidden by Nazi Germany, is impossible to examine.

There are also some people who say that the gold of the Western Han Dynasty is brass, but this reason is also untenable, there are many people who believe that the huge amount of gold in the Western Han Dynasty mentioned in the history books is not really gold, but brass, there are many people who believe in this statement, but just a few simple examples, so that this statement is untenable.

Saying that the gold of the Western Han Dynasty is brass, Yue Mu Lingtong guò investigated and analyzed, and thought that it was unfounded.

Because in the Han Dynasty, the difference between gold and copper was very obvious, and the Han people never called gold copper, nor did they call it "brass".

And the weight unit and name of gold and copper coins are also different, in the Qin and Han dynasties, gold was calculated in "jin" and "eridium", while copper coins were called "baht" or directly called "money", the distinction between gold and copper in the Western Han Dynasty was very clear, such as the management of gold mines called "Jin Guan", and the management of copper mines called "Tong Guan".

With such a clear distinction, if brass is said to be gold, it is either the ancients or the modern people are stupid.

Finally, Yue Muling put forward a detailed argument and analysis, up to now, how many ancient tombs in China have not been discovered, how many of them are imperial tombs, how many are high-ranking officials, and how many are rich people.

Han Peacock took a look, there were too many, even if it was not enough to express it.

There are reasons for this situation, one is that our history is too long, and the other is that there is a tradition of burial in our country, although there are tomb robbers, but they dig very little, unless there is more turmoil in the change of dynasty.

But for those who bury it every year, it is better to dig secretly than to bury more.

Although Yue Muling tried his best to prove that the ancient records of the gold were real gold, some people still insisted that the gold was not real gold but brass.

The main basis for rejecting these accounts is the examination of archaeological results.

If a prince-king could have a hundred tons of real gold, then in his tomb. There will inevitably be more large real gold objects.

In fact, in the tombs of the emperors and generals of the Han Dynasty excavated in the Central Plains, large real gold artifacts (such as weighing tens or hundreds of catties) have not yet appeared.

Among many Han tombs, there were gold threads of jade clothes, gilded Changxin palace lamps, wrong gold Boshan furnaces, wrong gold tiger charms, etc., although they all contain real gold, but the main body of the utensils is copper, and the real gold used to decorate is only a few hundred grams, which is already very precious.

Not to mention that there are 100 tons of real gold, even if there is only one ton of real gold, large real gold artifacts can be minted, which must be more brilliant than these.

In museums or private collections. There has also been no news of large-scale Han Dynasty real gold artifacts.

Other words. There is no archaeological information that may support a certain emperor and general in the Han Dynasty, and there were records of several tons or even hundreds of tons of real gold.

This statement is plausible and seems to be very well-founded, but Yue Muling just put forward a point of view. This assertion ignores tomb robbing.

Let's talk about the tomb of King Liang Xiao of the Western Han Dynasty. This mausoleum complex is in the Western Han Dynasty, where explosives have not yet been introduced. Completely chiseled out by countless migrant workers with hammers, the vastness of the project, the high skill is breathtaking, and the murals of the Han Dynasty, the golden jade clothes, the gilded chariots and horses, the cavalry figurines and a large number of exquisite jade artifacts unearthed from the tomb are even more rare treasures.

This is the record of the tomb of King Xiao of Liang later. From here, it is clear that, as mentioned above, there is not much gold and silver in the tomb of King Liang Xiao, but is this correct?

Although it is difficult for us to know some truths that have disappeared in the long river of history, what we do not know now does not mean that the ancients did not know.

Let's just say that none of the imperial tombs of the past dynasties are secretly hidden and buried, so it's not a secret.

Just like the tomb of King Liang Xiao, there are many records in the history books.

Historical Records. Liang Xiaowang's Family" Suo Yin's "Narrative Record": "There is the tomb of Liang Xiaowang".

"Water Jing Note. "Get Water" quoted Shao said: "The county has Dangshan, the mountain is in the east, out of the aragonite, Qin Li Dangjun, and the name of the mountain is also ...... There is the tomb of King Liang Xiao in the mountain, and its mound is cut into the mountain for the outline, and the stone is hidden. ”

Qing Guangxu ed. Historic Sites" recorded: "Xiaowang Cave is at the east foot of Baoan Mountain, in which there are cross streets, drinking horse pools. ”

"Taiping Huanyu Ji" contains: "The tomb of King Liang Xiao is fifty miles in the county (north), four zhang high, one mile back to Zhou, Dangshan Nanling Mountain. ”

Therefore, as long as you have the heart, it is very simple to find a king's tomb, since it is so simple, do you say that these king's tombs have ever been stolen?

It's just the tomb of King Liang Xiao, the time when this tomb was presented, can be traced back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty at the earliest, Cao Cao "led the troops to the tomb, cut down the tomb of King Liang Xiao, and broke the coffin to collect tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures", resulting in "the stone room of King Liang is empty".

It is very clear that the coffin was broken and tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures were collected, resulting in "the stone room of King Liang of Jinduliang was empty".

What does this mean? There is only one answer, and the things we dig up now are all things that generations of tomb robbers can't look down on and don't want.

We all think of the things that we don't want to be rare treasures, but what are the stolen things?

Therefore, it is said that there is no gold in the Han tomb, and the pen is not strong, it is obvious that Cao Cao put those copper cars unwanted, which is very revealing, if the gold at that time was copper, how could Cao Cao put it there not to?

Yue Muling's investigation report is very detailed and reasonable, but what stunned Han Peacock the most was the large amount of information about the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty that she collected later.

All kinds of dragons and phoenixes, all kinds of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and some legendary big businessmen, it can be said that as long as it is possible to bury gold and silver in the tomb, they have become the target of Yue Muling.

"It's a pity that this Yue Muling doesn't study archaeology!" Han Peacock sighed.

However, her analysis was really correct, and some of the public information she found out also clarified the true addresses of many large tomb groups, which made Han Peacock even more entangled.

You say that there are so many professors and experts in archaeology in our country, why do they put so many ancient tombs and do not dig up and protect them, isn't this tempting to commit crimes there?

"I really want to dig and see! I haven't robbed a tomb once! Han Peacock thought that a few days ago, he was almost wronged for robbing the tomb, he was really wronged.

It turned out that he really didn't have the intention of robbing tombs, maybe Yue Muling was affected by this incident to find out the addresses of so many ancient tombs, it seems that he wanted Han Peacock to get rid of the hat of being wronged, so that he could make the profession of tomb robber a solid one.

"I'm going to go to the Olympics, since I can't dig a grave, let's go clean up the river." Han Peacock was ruthless, it just so happened that there was not much to do a year ago, so he went to contract a piece of land and clean up the ancient river.

In other words, this is also a promising career, and it would be even better if you could clean up a wreck and clean up a few pieces of Yuan Qinghua on the wreck.

Of course, Han Peacock is just a pipe dream, even if there is such a good thing, it will definitely not be his turn, so Han Peacock can only think of another way.

Han Peacock rummaged through and continued to study Yue Muling's report, and finally found a report on the battle of Han Yuan.

Looking at the record of the battle of Han Yuan, Han Peacock smiled extremely lewdly.

Digging the ancient tomb, whether it is accidental or deliberate, digging it out and not reporting it is a tomb robbery, and now he is going to clean up the ancient river, if he cleans up some scrap copper and rotten iron, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Because there are so many such things, and there was a case recently of a pair of brothers who approached an expert with a short sword.

This short sword, unintentionally, was used by children at home to chop wood, however, this short sword turned out to be a bronze short sword in the late Spring and Autumn Period, with a high value, and the market price was about 1o yuan.

This sword was made a few years ago, when their father was digging sand in the river, and accidentally picked up a short sword with a blue-yellow color.

He didn't care about it at the time, and when he got home, he threw it aside and his grandson used it to chop wood.

Later, I heard that this short sword is more than 26oo years old, with a complete shape and good condition, and the market price is about 1o yuan.

The brothers said that they were very surprised, and they would keep the sword in store when they returned home.

Since others can take it home and treasure it, then he Han Peacock can naturally take it home and treasure it. (To be continued......)
