Chapter 435: The Four Bodies Are Not Diligent and the Five Grains Are Not Divided
Professor Hao pointed to the open grain bag and said: "The military rations that accompany the burial here are actually the five grains of the pre-Qin Dynasty, rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean. ”
If you want to talk about this knowledge, most of the people present are experts.
But it's ...... to look at the real thing
"How did you distinguish such a pile of black granules, Professor Hao?"
Someone asked weakly.
Professor Hao hooked his lips and smiled: "The literature of the pre-Qin period does not say which grains the five grains refer to. Tianguan. The "five grains" in the content of "Disease Medicine" "nourishing his disease with five flavors, five grains, and five medicines" are annotations for "hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and beans". ”
Yan Hua was worried that Professor Hao would be faster when he kept talking about lack of oxygen, so he answered: "However, Zhao Qi, a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, commented on the "five grains" in the content of "Mencius Tengwen Gong Shang" "Arboriculture Five Grains, Five Grains Ripe and People Breed". ”
In addition, the Eastern Han Dynasty writer Wang Yi also commented on the "five grains" in the "Five Grains and Six Grains" in "Chu Ci Da Zhao" as "rice, millet, wheat, beans, and hemp". ”
Professor Hao nodded appreciatively: "Not bad." ”
The main point of disagreement between the three commentaries is on "rice" and "hemp", mainly because different scholars are located in different regions and have different access to different grains, but it is certain that the main cereal crops in the pre-Qin era were millet, millet (millet), wheat, soybean, rice, and hemp. ”
Professor Hao pointed to the grain bags again: "There is no hemp here, so the grains buried here are rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean." ”
"Ancient millet is what we now call yellow sticky rice, which was one of the first domesticated crops."
"Millet is relatively drought-tolerant, suitable for the arid climate of the northwest region, and at the same time it is a good material for winemaking, and millet was widely planted to make wine during the Shang Dynasty."
"Millet was domesticated later than millet, and millet is our current millet."
"At that time, millet was the longest of the five grains, because it was very suitable for the climatic conditions of the Yellow River and the yield was also high, so the planting area in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was also the largest."
"Soybeans are soybeans, and they replaced millet in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and became the main food in the Yellow River Basin after corn."
Yan Hua replied casually: "There are two main reasons why Shu can replace the status of millet. ”
"First, the yield of soybean is large, adaptable, and barren resistant;"
"The second is the invention of the stone mill in the late Spring and Autumn Period (according to legend, the stone mill was invented by Lu Ban) and its popularization changed the way of eating foods such as soybeans, that is, soybeans can be ground into flour to make soybean cakes."
"During the Warring States Period, with the increase of population in the south, the planting area of rice in the Yangtze River basin was gradually increased, although the taste of rice was good, but the unit yield of rice at that time was extremely low, so it was still unable to meet the huge population demand, and only the upper nobility could eat rice."
Rice and wheat do not need to be explained, the names of these two kinds of grain have not changed throughout the ages, and everyone knows them, so this is a tacit understanding of the old and the young have not been mentioned again.
Looking at the real thing in front of them, everyone had the illusion that they were in class.
Although the physical examples in front of me are all black, after Professor Hao's explanation, when I look at those black grains, the more vivid I see.
The faces of everyone suddenly realized, and they were very applauded by Professor Hao.
Professor Hao was in a good mood and asked Yan Hua to take a few sample sealed bottles and take away a little of each grain.
In case something happens to them, at least they have a record and a sample now.
These will be invaluable documents in the future.
Yan Hua's speed is very fast and his execution is extremely strong.
Five small bottles were placed in the toolbox, and Professor Hao led the group onwards.
At the bottom of the hexagram is a long horizontal, so they did not encounter the stone gate again, and walked to the end and then went up very smoothly.
In the eyes, it is still a corpse, and the mixed and matched costumes of several dynasties, like the appearance of a person who has just died, make everyone who has seen the fourth dead person still uncomfortable.
In particular, no mechanism has been found on this level.
But these corpses fell on this empty layer, the cause of death is a mystery, and the death is strange.
Every time everyone saw it, they would feel that the blood in their whole body was cold, and their hairs stood on end.
Silently passed through the place, and the group continued upward again, the same six huge covers.
This time they didn't make any effort to lift all the covers, but only took a look at the gap to make sure it was complete, and then closed it.
The same six luxury chariots, but in the same order as the mirror image of the one in the corridor on the other side.
This way of placement is like the positive and negative of the yin and yang gossip fish, and it also indicates half life and half death.
Everyone speculated that this mysterious layout was precisely placed on the first emperor's appeal for immortality.
When he couldn't get immortality, he occupied an underground space and continued to claim the title of king, leading millions of Yin soldiers to be stationed here, ready to attack.
When life and death are subverted one day, he will return to the world with his elite soldiers and rule the world.
Although they were still on the periphery of King Qin's tomb, they had only "visited" the two hexagrams in the peripheral Bagua Array.
But from the layout and burial objects, everyone got the strong unwillingness of King Qin.
He didn't want to die, his ambition and hegemony had just completed a beginning, and even his Afang Palace had not been completely built, and he was about to "settle in the ground".
If there is no limit on the number of lifespans, there is no life and death in the way, he can also build the Great Wall longer and more spectacular.
He can also see the completed Afang Palace with his own eyes, and he can continue to expand the territory.
Perhaps today's territory is more than just a rooster.
is unwilling to die, and there are regrets left before death.
The king of Qin brought all his regrets into the tomb.
Everything here is his strong desire to come back from the dead.
This ever-changing gossip array, in addition to protecting the tomb from the scourge of tomb robbers, is probably the main purpose of bringing the dead back to life.
In particular, its rotation method is not to conform to the destiny of heaven, but to go against the sky.
Reversal, reversal of life and death.
King Qin did not hesitate to bury millions of lives, but also to achieve his own immortal plan, no wonder he later ended up with the image of a tyrant.
After turning around, when they returned to the top floor again, everyone was still lifting the cover.
And when everyone went up, they all looked at the wall that was slowly sinking.
Twice, even if the reaction is sluggish, it has found a pattern.
The mechanism of this stone wall is the cover they have just lifted.
Only when the intruder has completed the circle and comes up from the other side will the mechanism of the stone wall be touched, and it will slowly sink downward.
It's so weird that people can't help but wonder, "Why do you want to design like this?" What's the point? ”
