Chapter 1167: The Deceased

On the shelf is a huge three-pointed foot painted pottery tripod, open, necked, open-belly, tripod body decorated with horizontal stripes, and there are three pointed feet below.

From the perspective of shape, the shape of Tao Ding is almost exactly the same as the structure of the word "Xia".

Ouyang Fa said: "According to legend, after the establishment of the capital of Dayu, the bronze of the world's nine herds was cast as Jiuding, and the "Mozi Cultivation Note" recorded: Xia Hou's family was lost, and Yin people received it. ”

"But from the examination of this place, we can already conclude that bronze is very prosperous in business, and the bronze before is more like the one held in your hand by Mingrun."

"We overestimate the metal smelting technology of the Xia Dynasty, and Mozi's record should refer to the Guozuo, or the shape of the tripod, and its symbolic meaning."

Su You opened his backpack and took out a pen and paper: "The Xia character of Jin Wen is like the 'page' around the tripod shape, plus the hands and feet, if the Xia character originates from the tripod character, this is not ...... Is there enough to draw snakes? ”

Ouyang said with a smile: "I also raised this objection at that time, but Master Sima said that this word was created in Yin Shang, so there is a bloody historical event hidden in it. ”

Su You reacted suddenly: "Shang Tang Zhu Xia Ji! ”

Ouyang Fa nodded: "Yes, it's Xia Wei, the word Ji plus the stone, Mingrun should know." ”

Su You said: "Punishment! "Erya": Sacrifice to the wind! The wind is from the bird, and the bird is business. Merchants sacrifice their ancestors by torture, not for nothing. ”

Ouyang Fa nodded: "Erya Zhuyun: Boom, with animals, hooves, and skins, break them as sacrifices!" ”

"Cut off the flesh and bones, cut off the limbs, and then cut off the head."

Su You looked at Jin Wen's Xia character: "It's miserable!" If you don't know what to do, it's time to cook......"

Ouyang Fa shook his head: "In fact, this is also in the same vein as today's sacrifice, today's people sacrifice to offer the best food to their ancestors, but the ingredients at that time were prisoners of war......"

Su You shuddered and shook his head: "If according to the statement of Master Sima, the word Xia is specially made by merchants to celebrate this great victory, and it is a restoration of the scene of Shang Tang Zhu Xia Ji sacrificing to the ancestors. ”

"The day this word was born was the day the Xia Dynasty fell!"

"This statement has the flavor of "Bamboo Book Chronicle"......"

Ouyang Fa asked: "Mingrun thinks, is there any truth to Master Sima's theory?" ”

Su You said: "There is indeed some truth, according to this line of thought, the Yangcheng Tao Ding should be a ritual weapon, do you have evidence for this?" ”

Ouyang Fa said: "Another reason why Master Sima is so sure is that these pottery tripods are indeed ritual vessels. ”

"The proof is on the ornament."

"The ornamentation of Yangcheng pottery, there is a batch of very special, Mingrun, you see ......"

"On this clay pot, it is decorated with sun patterns, and when you count them, there are exactly 12, indicating that people at that time already knew the astronomical concept that 12 months is a year."

Su You felt very magical: "What about the three moons?" ”

Ouyang Fa said: "March is a season......"

"What about these two comets?"

"Well, I think it means that the ancestors knew that after the comet disappeared, it would come back?"

Needless to say, Su You nodded: "It makes sense, no matter what, these are astronomical symbols." ”

Ouyang Fa said: "These are all found on the accumulation layer of the Shang Dynasty long ago below the accumulation layer, based on the thickness of the Shang Dynasty accumulation layer, this batch of cultural relics, before the Shang Dynasty 1,000 to 3,000 years, this is the Chinese family, since the three generations, they have been diligent in astronomical knowledge and calendar ironclad evidence!" ”

Su You lifted a clay pot, the clay pot is the base of the gray pottery, but the top is covered with a layer of white clay to refire, forming a white coat outside the gray pottery: "This is the transition between the ceramics, before the glaze was discovered, the ancients already knew to use fine mud to fire the surface coating." ”

After speaking, he stomped his foot: "Ouch, I said that Sima Junshi, this historian is too solid-eyed!" You guys have made a big move, can you wait for the New Year? ”

Ouyang Fa reminded: "This matter was raised by Master Sima. He said that many doubts have yet to be confirmed......

Su You rolled his eyes: "I know that it was Master Sima who raised it, and I will talk to him when I go to Xijing." Can't you hurry up and sort out the results that can be confirmed at this stage and send them to Bianjing before the end of the year so that Your Majesty will know? ”

"Next year is the first year of the restructuring, and next year's court will announce major changes, do you understand the political impact?!"

Ouyang Fa was not a fool, and immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, yes, we are not those ministers who offered auspiciousness in history, we have really discovered the remains of three generations!" It can just echo the major event of restructuring! ”

"Didn't An Shi Xianggong make a fuss about the three-generation system back then? Hey, hey, hey, let's show him the real rule of three generations! ”

"I finally got it." Su You's eyes rolled a few times: "I seem to know what to send to Bianjing......"

Put down the clay pot and smiled: "It's really amazing for you, what Huang Zhong Zhengyin, heliocentric theory, before your feats, you have to give way to this jackpot......"

That night, the two of them were enthusiastic about appreciating cultural relics and studying ornamentation.

Now there are a lot of classics in Su You's stomach, although he is not as good as Ouyang Fa, a family of gold and stone, but he has more methodology than Ouyang Fa.

Su You's division of the three dynasties of antiquity also inspired Ouyang Fa, and now there is a cultural relics accumulation layer as evidence, and the division of the Paleolithic Period, Neolithic Age, and Bronze Age is also reasonable.

Counting from now on, 6,000 years ago, it belonged to the Paleolithic period, marked by making tools, corresponding to the Suiren clan Fuxi and other ancient tribal leaders as representatives.

Between 6,000 and 3,500 years, it belongs to the Neolithic period, marked by polished stone tools, corresponding to the Gan tribe and ending with the Xiong clan.

3,500 to 3,000 years, belonging to the late Neolithic Age, represented by the appearance of pottery and the use of pottery and stone, corresponding to the period of the Yellow Emperor.

In the 3,000 years, represented by the beginning of the appearance of metal tools, the era entered the Xia Dynasty.

The two were enthusiastically collecting classics, inspiring each other, chatting with great interest, and finally falling asleep.

When he got up the next day, Su You pulled Ouyang Fa to find Lao Liu Tou, and went to the north of the city to eat a bowl of braised noodles.

The so-called stew refers to the method of frying or boiling the raw materials and changing the knife and putting them into the pot with auxiliary ingredients, seasonings, and broth.

Zhengzhou connects Xijing and Tokyo, where the two sides of the diet converge, and now noodles are popular.

The noodles of the stewed noodles are made of fine white flour, mixed with an appropriate amount of salt and alkali, with warm water and a dough that is softer than the dumpling noodles, kneaded repeatedly to make it tenacious, placed for a period of time, and then rolled into a dough sheet four fingers wide and 20 centimeters long, smeared with vegetable oil on the outside, stacked one by one, and covered with a basket with a damp cloth for later use.

The soup uses high-quality tender mutton, together with the mutton bones that split open the bone marrow in the middle, and simmer for more than three hours, first boil with high heat, and then use low heat to boil, among which the next seven or eight flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, all the bone oil must be boiled out, so that the soup boiled out is white and bright.

When the guests arrive, take the mutton fat mutton soup and mutton into a small pot and fry it, add the auxiliary materials kelp shreds, tofu shreds, fungus, mushrooms, green vegetables, quail eggs, etc., and then slice them below, add salt to start the pot, and then take out small dishes such as coriander, spicy rice oil, sugar and garlic when served.

Su oil is very addicted to eating, and in winter, I get up in the morning and eat a bowl of this, which is hot for most of the day.

After breakfast, Su You started the official office, and today he was accompanied by the real manager of Zhengzhou - Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng didn't know how to greet Su You when he saw him: "When we meet again in 20 years, Mingrun is already the Golden Liang of the Great Song Dynasty, but the foolish brother is really a little ashamed to see the old man." ”

Su You arched his hand and said: "Brother Nian is polite, he is just loyal to the country." ”

Zhao Meng is a cousin of Shi Dongxiu and Twenty-Seven Niang, so he also has a little relationship with Su You.

Back then, everyone went to the imperial examination together, and in the Meishan villagers, there were Su You, Shi Yuan, Yang Peng, Zhao Meng and Ren Guan.

After the Ministry of Rites test, Su You, Zhao Meng and Ren Guan were in the same year, while Shi Yuan and Yang Peng fell off the list.

Su Youzhong is Tanhua, and he was only fourteen years old at the time, which can be said to be out of the limelight.

After that, he rose all the way, and at the age of thirty-three, he became a young master, a national prince.

And Zhao Meng and Ren Guanzhong are on the B list, or they are behind the B list, so their careers have fallen.

After 20 years of mixing, Ren Guan is now far away in a remote place in Guangdong to be a governor, and Zhao Meng is lucky to be a general judge in Zhengzhou.

Before Zhengzhou was ranked in Xifu, it was actually quite hard, with a population of only more than 40,000, and it was not enough to be a lower state in Shuzhong.

Someone wrote a poem to joke about Zhengzhou at that time - "There are no three temples in the north and south, and there is only one street in the east and west." There is no feast at four o'clock and eight festivals, and there are more boundary cards in the middle of the night. ”

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

After the water and land routes were put together, Zhengzhou has now become an important industrial town, the population has increased to more than 300,000 in just ten years, the tax has increased more than tenfold, and the state level has been upgraded last year.

Zhao Meng's general judgment was also raised by half a level, coupled with the effective logistics of organizing the people in the Luobian Canal Project, and now he has been registered by Liunequan, if there is no problem in the performance appraisal for a few years, a Zhongzhou Zhizhou is considered stable.
