Chapter 970: Dragon Vein
Archaeological findings show that the owners of tombs 19 and 26 are all women, and judging from the arrangement of the three tombs and the scale of the tombs, they should be the joint burial tombs of a generation of Rui Gong and two ladies.
In 2006, after several months of excavation and cleaning of the tomb of Zhongjiang, a total of 571 pieces of various types of jade were unearthed, from the tomb owner's neck to the knee, with the burial goods as rich as the monarch, and even in some ways surpassing the monarch, that piece of jade can be called a rare treasure, constantly challenging the imagination of archaeologists and historians.
The Shang-style square tripod and the hollow circle-foot short flow in a group of bronze vessels used by Jiang before his death were unearthed for the first time in China; The group of jade ornaments in the dragon carved together, human hair bundles per millimeter actually have 5, each of which is never staggered, which can be called the representative work of the superb jade craftsmanship in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The jade grip composed of 189 agate beads, 16 jade shells, 16 jade silkworms, 48 jade turtles, 8 jade beads, and 4 glass beads is the most complex and luxurious two-week jade hold known in China.
This is also the first time to find the country of Rui, determine the general scope of the country, in the north of Han and the city, the Yellow River from the gate of Yu out of the Jin-Shaanxi Grand Canyon, suddenly from less than 100 meters wide to several kilometers, the loess plateau soil often swings with the current, down and collapses.
According to the number of the Yellow River Hydrological Department, only more than 100 years since the Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River riverbed has expanded more than 100 meters to the direction of Han and Cheng, and archaeologists have also found tombs in the ditch on the south side of Liang and Dai villages, but they have been washed away by the river, and there is little left, and it is speculated that at least 70 tombs have been washed away in the past two or three thousand years.
It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that the ancients picked up bronze vessels with the inscription of the word "Rui" on the banks of the Yellow River. Although the tomb is gone, where is the capital of the Kingdom of Rui?
Han Peacock has read an analysis report provided by Bai Xiaoyi, and some experts have speculated that the capital of Rui was built on the banks of the Yellow River, and as the banks of the Yellow River collapsed, it disappeared into the surging Yellow River.
However, in September 2009, the Hancheng archaeological team conducted a survey in the northwest direction of the Liang and Daicun ruins, and found the foundation of large ancient buildings in an area of 300 acres about 2 kilometers away from the burial area, and it was a "typical standard" Western Zhou architectural site.
In addition, a number of pottery shards and other Western Zhou practical utensils have also been found. and strip stones with obvious dripping marks. There is a small river flowing from Yangshan Mountain, which has an abundant water source, and may be the capital of the Rui Kingdom.
According to archaeological discoveries over the past few years, the country of Rui is about 400 years old. It has survived in Korea and Seongseong for about 200 years. This corrects the geographical location of the Kingdom of Rui as recorded in the historical records.
The discovery of the cemetery of Rui in Liang and Obimura. It is the first time in China to excavate the relics of Rui and the unearthed bronze wares of the system, especially the discovery of "Rui Gong" and "Rui Prince" with inscriptions. Let the important questions about the cultural connotation, lineage, and geographical prestige of the Rui Kingdom be solved, and its mystery can be revealed.
In the opinion of archaeologists in Shaanxi and Western China, determining the location of Rui also provides a basis for finding the capital of Liang State, which has been famous for thousands of years but has not been seen.
According to the Historical Records. Qin Benji recorded: "(Qin) De A.D., Liang Bo and Rui Bo came to the dynasty", "In the first year of Cheng, Liang Bo and Rui Bo came to the dynasty", indicating that the two countries had close relations and were not far apart.
In 2010, the archaeological team went to the pottery and canal more than 30 kilometers south of the village to investigate and find traces of the capital of the Liang Kingdom. There, they found two tombs "larger than Ruihuan Cemetery", but both had been visited by tomb robbers.
But Han Peacock believes that this should be the tomb of the monarch of the Liang Kingdom, and the once huge capital of the Liang Kingdom is nearby.
Seeing everyone thoughtfully, Han Peacock smiled and stopped talking, now this house is his own, so Han Peacock directly looked around as the owner.
After reading all the places he was interested in and knowing in his heart, Han Peacock carefully observed the layout of the house, and after everything was clear, Han Peacock returned to the living room, and the living room was already lively at this time.
Qin Mingyue lay in front of the bronze tripod engraved with the word "Amaranth", looking at it without blinking, and when Han Peacock came over, Qin Mingyue immediately said: "How much do you say the bronze tripod in the Western Zhou Dynasty is worth?" ”
"This is not necessarily, if it is this Jiang Ding, it should be no problem to sell it for thirty or fifty million, but this kind of thing, it is too late to collect, and it is impossible to take it out and sell it." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"What do you want this thing for? You can't eat it as food, you can't drink it as water, and if you keep it at home, you have to be afraid of thieves. Qin Mingyue held Jiang Ding in both hands and said.
Liu Fu smiled and said: "If you exchange it for a lot of waste paper, or directly exchange it for a string of numbers in the bank, it makes sense?" ”
"It's also said that if you don't lack money to spend, it's better to keep things in your hands, the longer the antique is kept, the more valuable it is." Qin Mingyue figured it out as soon as she thought about it.
"Brother Han is extraordinary every time he makes a shot." Lin You Mountain Road.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "This is pure luck, and today's luck is not mine, but my wife's, if she hadn't found the Jade Pig Dragon in the Antique City, I wouldn't have come here at all." ”
Liu Wu said: "I just found the jade pig dragon, but I didn't expect that the jade pig dragon could find so many treasures, but where did these things come from?" It can't really be a tomb robber, right? ”
Han Peacock said with a smile: "When I just entered the door, I saw the shovel behind the gate, although it has been deformed and transformed, but if you look closely, you can still see that it is a Luo and Yang shovel, which is dedicated to tomb robbing." ”
"That's why you deduced that the owner of this house might have something good in his hands?" Qin Mingyue said.
Han Peacock shook his head and said: "Such a layout, it may also be the layout of Lao Qian, what really gave me an idea was the clay statue of the Buddha fetus, although the statue was very damaged, but it was obvious that it was something that was old, and such a thing would definitely not be placed here." ”
"Then you can't be sure that the owner of this place has robbed the tomb!" Willow catkins said.
Han Peacock said: "The tomb robbery industry is generally divided into two factions, the north and the south, in the early years, there was a very famous predecessor surnamed Zhang, there is a legend that he was hidden in Yangcheng, combined with all aspects of intelligence, I can be sure that the things here, most of them should be genuine, even if I did not carefully identify, it should not be far off." ”
"You mean the southern faction's Tianyan Zhang?" Zhao Dayou looked at Han Peacock in surprise and said.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "I said but it's him, if it weren't for such a famous senior, how could I understand it so clearly?" ”
"Zhang Cheng's kid's grandfather is Tianyan Zhang? Unlikely, right? Zhao Dayou said in surprise.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "There is nothing impossible in this world, and judging from the things here today, the possibility that Zhang Cheng's grandfather is Tianyan Zhang is still very high." ”
"Tianyan Zhang is famous?" Liu Wu asked.
Han Peacock said: "Very famous, especially in the eighties and nineties, when the smuggling of domestic cultural relics was very rampant, and almost every household in many places was engaged in the tomb robbery industry. ”
"Known as the eye of the sky, it seems that he has a good set of ways to find a cemetery? However, such a character should be severely cracked down. Liu Wu said.
Han Peacock said: "The first out of the head of the whirlpool is rotten, and the gun shoots the first bird, some people understand this truth, and more people don't understand, obviously this Tianyan Zhang knows a lot about self-protection, although he is very strong in finding the dragon point, but he never does anything out of the ordinary."
Just like the Jade Dragon Pig and Qi Jiang Ding we harvested this time, these things are obviously a pair, but after he entered the ancient tomb, he only took out half of it, and did not leave any traces, even those archaeologists did not find any traces of theft in the mausoleum, from here, it can also be seen how careful he is to be a man. ”
"It's impossible for such a cautious character to break into the resounding name of Tianyan Zhang, right?" Yang Kun said.
Han Peacock said: "That's true, at the beginning, his name of Tianyan Zhang was only circulated in a small range, and those who knew it were his fellow villagers and friends, and others didn't know how powerful he was."
And the reason why he became famous later was entirely because he did a very sensational event, because more than 20 years have passed, the specific reason for it is no longer clear, but I know that there is a group of people who offended this Tianyan Zhang, maybe they were offended ruthlessly, and this Tianyan Zhang also made a hot hand.
Legend has it that the group gathered together to form a small village, the village was built on a dragon vein, and the people who lived in the village, although they did not go out of the village, but the people who lived in the village all lived a long life, so that village was a very famous longevity village in those years.
But it is such a piece of feng shui treasure, completely destroyed by Tianyan Zhang, since then, the geology there has undergone fundamental changes, the original wind and rain every year, and then there is no harvest every year, and the old people in the village have also begun to die one after another, to now, not to mention the longevity village, the village has become a well-known short-lived village.
After more than ten years, that is, two thousand years later, there was a capable person in that village, and people investigated the events of that year, only to understand some of the reasons, their village did suffer great damage, the most obvious is the diversion of underground water sources.
Because the land of the small mountain village is relatively high, if the groundwater is diverted, the land in their village is dry or trivial, the strictest thing is that there is not enough water source, there is not enough vegetation, so every time it rains, not to mention saving the rainwater, it will be washed by the rain, destroying the land in the village, and the soil erosion at will is strict, so that the vicious circle is down, and it is strange that the small mountain village is not unlucky. ”
"What does this have to do with the dragon vein? It can't be that the dragon vein is destroyed, and there will be a drought every year, right? It can also be due to weather and environmental protection. Qin Mingyue asked. (To be continued......)
