Chapter 1166 Summer

"Is it much? This is the royal capital! We have collected more than 3,000 pieces from people's homes alone! In addition to the big copper tripod, everything else is upstairs. ”

came to the second floor, and sure enough, there were more things here, all kinds of jade ge, jade shovels, jade zhang, agate and other jade ritual utensils; Zun, 卣, 簋, pot, bean, pot, tripod, cup, bowl and other bronze vessels; goose, combs and other delicate ivory utensils; perforated shellfish; What's more, there are several musical instruments such as bone flute, stone xun and Tao xun!

The production of music is a major symbol of human civilization, but Ouyang Fa has never seen this thing, it is the same thing as a small pottery round hammer, and a flat stone slab like an enlarged clog, and a short stone staff is placed in one place.

Seeing Su You's gaze fall on those few things, Ouyang Fa arched his hand and said, "I don't know what these utensils are." We guess it's a musical instrument. ”

"Mingrun is knowledgeable, do you know these things?"

Su You laughed: "You readers, ......"

Pick up the little round hammer: "This one is equipped with a wooden stick, which is the most common spindle in the country." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the stone slab: "That is a handmade stone mill, a primitive machine used to hull grains." ”

Finally, he took down the pottery that looked like a big fruit: "This is indeed a musical instrument, and its name is Xun." ”

After speaking, he handed it to Zhang Qi casually: "Little Seventh Brother, do you dare to try?" ”

Zhang Qi is a flute player, took it and looked at it for a while, figured out the general principle of blowing, put it to his mouth, blocked the air holes on both sides with his fingers, and after trying a few times, he really blew out an ancient and beautiful music.

Immediately after, loosening his fingers like a flute, the notes of the music changed, but only two or three.

This music is obviously not enough for the standard five notes, it is relatively simple, Zhang Qi tried it again, thought a little, and actually used these few simple notes to improvise a tune.

The music is primitive, long-term and deep, and through the size of the breath and the shaking of the fingers, the music is enriched, giving the simple music a different artistic conception.

Ouyang Fa was fascinated and muttered: "This must be the voice of "Zaimin" and "Xuanniao", ......"

Su You nodded slowly: "It can be understood so." ”

"Carrying the People" and "Xuanniao" are said to be the ancient music created by Ge Tian.

In the end, Zhang Qi made a jump in his voice and stopped abruptly, and Su You and Ouyang Fa woke up from their ancient feelings.

Ouyang Fa gave a deep salute to Zhang Qi: "Lang Jun's wonderful hands, today you have to smell the ancient music, and you have no regrets even if you die!" ”

Zhang Qi put Tao Xun down, smiled at Ouyang Fa and nodded, and accepted the gift calmly.

This is the compulsion of authority, in terms of wind instruments, Xiao Qige is the absolute authority of the Great Song Dynasty.

Su You said: "This year's Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, this must be added to show the prosperity of my Great Song Wenhua!" You guys are getting things on this floor, it's amazing, hurry up and report to Your Majesty, so that he will be happy too! ”

Ouyang Fa shook his head and said: "Master Sima didn't let him, he said that he would wait for the confirmation of the ruins of the summer capital of Yangcheng, and then report it together." ”

"What?" Su You was really frightened this time, and grabbed Ouyang Fa's arm: "What did you just say?!" ”

Ouyang stretched out his index finger proudly and pointed upwards: "There is another layer." ”

Su You's legs were weak, and he almost climbed the steep third step of the Zun Jing Pavilion in a rolling and climbing posture.

On the third floor, there are many jade, stone, bone, and pottery, and most of the pottery is beautifully shaped, and it is also decorated with beautiful and intricate patterns and paintings.

Knowing at a glance that this was a relic of Neolithic culture, Su You felt that his throat was a little dry: "You guys...... How can you be sure that this is a relic of the Xia Dynasty? ”

Ouyang Fa was very satisfied with Su You's reaction, and said with a smile: "This batch of cultural relics was not excavated by us. ”

"How did that come about?"

"Found in the history books."

Su You felt a little lack of oxygen in his head: "Who found it?" ”

Ouyang Fa felt that this question was too small: "Of course it's Master Sima." ”

"According to historical records, Xia Yu was enshrined in Yangcheng, and there is a record in the "Imperial Century": 'Yu was enshrined as Xia Bo, in the south of Yuzhou, now Yangzhai, Henan.' ”

"Xu Guang said: 'Xia lived in Henan, first in Yangcheng, and later in Yangzhai.'" ”

"Hanshu Geographical Chronicles", under Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County, Ban Gu self-note: 'Xia Yuguo.' ”

"However, the name of Yang Zhai, verified by Sima Bachelor, should only appear in the period of King Xiang of Zhou, when the northern Zhai people entered the oak land, because its land is in the Yang of Songshan Mountain, so it was named."

"Before that, it should actually be called Xiayi, Lidi, Liyi, Yuzhou!"

""Water Jing Note" cloud: the corner water flows southeast, passes under the mausoleum, accumulates as a slope, the slope is ten miles, and it is said that Juntai slope."

"Juntai, also known as Xiatai, "Water Jing Note" says in detail: Qixiao Pavilion, Qixiang God is above the Great Tomb, that is, Juntai."

"Qi Zheng is the meaning of divination of King Qi. The Shuijing note says that the place is in Juntaipo. ”

"After the research of Sima Bachelor, Yang is Songyang; Zhai, for the wild pheasant, oak land, indicating that its land is full of oak trees, near the corner of the water. ”

"The reason why Han Jinghou moved the capital here back then was that when he came here, he saw wild pheasants flying and shining in the sun, and he couldn't help but praise 'Yang Zai Zhai Ye'."

"That small river, Master Sima studied the map, and thought that it should be the Wudu River, a tributary of Yingshui."

"Inspired by Mingrun, we paid attention to the name of the place in that area, and found that there is a hill called Wangchenggang, and the surrounding environment is completely in line with these historical records!"

"When the local residents were farming, they often found some strangely shaped stone grinding discs, stone grinding rods, stone shovels, stone axes, pottery pots and other things, so they moved these ancient relics back home and used them as pounding stones, washboards or used to pad pigsties, yard walls, ......"

"It is also under the guidance of Mingrun, saying that it is the beginning of summer, perhaps before the appearance of metal tools, we should pay attention to stone, bone, horn, pottery and other products, the discovery of local residents, naturally attracted our attention."

"After excavation, we found two ancient cities juxtaposed with east and west. The east city moved west because of the five crossing rivers, only two sections of the city wall remained, the outline of the rammed earth city of the west city was basically clear, and the foundations of the four city walls were preserved. ”

"The western wall is slightly square, with a side length of about 100 meters. The east wall of the west city is also the west wall of the east city, the south wall is about 82 meters long, and the west wall is about 92 meters long. ”

"In the city site, there are still rammed earth buildings, foundation pits, cellars, and ash pits from the same period as the city wall."

"In several foundation pits, a total of seven complete skeletons were unearthed. It is evident that it was a human sacrifice consciously performed to lay the foundation for the establishment of the capital. ”

"The cultural relics on this floor of the Zunjing Pavilion are all cultural relics found in Wangchenggang."

"According to Mingrun, there is a phenomenon of layered accumulation of cultural relics here, which was formed by the ancients living here for a long time, according to the research of Master Sima, the time is more than 1,000 years."

Su You found a small bronze hook in the cultural relics: "If this thing is a cultural relic from the early Shang Dynasty or the late Xia Dynasty of the Bronze Dynasty, then this site covers the entire Xia Dynasty!" Even before the birth of the Xia Dynasty, there were already settlements here! ”

"Exactly!" Ouyang Fa said: "Master Sima thinks the same. ”

This is an absolute big find.

Su You picked up a piece of pottery: "Is there any documentary evidence?" ”

Ouyang Fa shook his head: "No, but we have a lot of other evidence." ”

Su You said solemnly: "Let's talk about it." ”

Ouyang Fa said: "Regarding the study of oracle bone inscriptions, the Shang and Zhou Jinshi Writing Bureau has been exploring for a while, but has not found a clear 'Xia' character. ”

"It seems that businessmen are more clear and attached importance to spring and autumn, and winter, which is represented by two knots, is actually the word 'end'."

"Xia, such an important concept, a dynasty, how can it not be clearly described?"

"And on the oracle bone inscription, there seem to be too many glyphs for Xia."

"So Master Sima simply moved the text back, looking for traces from the golden text."

"From the bronzes found so far such as Qin Gongqi, Xia Guanding, Ju Pingjie, etc., we can see the clear Xia character."

According to the meaning of "Shuowen", Xia, the people of China also. From the 夊, from the page, from the mortar. ”

According to this statement, the character Xia is actually a human form: the upper part is the head, the middle is the torso, the two sides are the hands, and the lower part is the feet, which has a majestic appearance. Therefore, in the literal sense, the original meaning of the word Xia is 'person' - a man of great strength in China. ”

"But this statement seems a bit far-fetched, and Master Sima has a new conclusion."

"What?"

Ouyang Fa pointed at a huge pottery on the shelf: "It! It should be the original meaning of the word summer! ”
