Chapter 55: Temporary Classroom

After Professor Chen whispered a few words to Feng Weiguo, he hurriedly arranged for Lao Ma and them to carry the glass container containing the corpse to the underworld. As Lao Ma and the others carried the tomb owner out, the main tomb was quiet again, and everyone turned their eyes to Professor Chen again, because they all knew that only he had the final say here, and the next work arrangement was waiting for him to arrange.

Of course, Professor Chen understood what the eyes cast at him represented, and he read the various signals behind these eyes, some were looking forward to opening the boxes on both sides, some wanted to know what was going on in the coffin, and some wanted to know the professional judgment of Professor Chen and others. Professor Chen smiled, walked between the two coffins and said to everyone: "Comrades, this morning is an extraordinary morning that is worth remembering for all of us for a lifetime. From the gold mask when he opened his wife's coffin today to the cotton filled bones, this shows not only the expression of feelings, but also more through this funeral method, such as the society, humanities, customs, and art at that time, all of which are reflected in the small coffin. Many times people say that clothing is the first criterion for judging, in fact, this is not entirely correct, like the period of two dynasties, sometimes the clothing is not much different, or even no change, Qu Fu is an example, worn several dynasties, except for the above ornamentation and style evolution, the general appearance is not changed; In many periods, except for dresses, other costumes are not too different, and the correct judgment needs to be combined with our previous findings, combined with the ornaments on the coffin and the coffin today, as well as some funerary goods, so that we can draw a correct judgment. In this joint burial tomb, the wife of the tomb owner may have died many years earlier than the tomb owner, so she can only use the bones to be buried together, and the tomb owner himself used a special potion to soak it for embalming, such a coffin liquid shows the superb medical technology in the past, I think there is no other explanation for the time being, because everyone has seen the effect. Several parts of the body are plugged with nine orifice jade, this is a bit superstitious, the soul out of the body said that many dynasties have since ancient times, these show that the descendants of the attachment and yearning for the life of the dead, unfortunately, no one can avoid this, how the descendants are entangled can not get anything back, the tomb owner deeply understands these, so he wrote a suicide note to us and the so-called generous gift, now it seems that the real generous gift is actually himself, he dedicated himself to us, this is the greatest value. As far as we are modern as far as we are concerned, we all know that organ donation is glorious and has always been advocated, but there are still many people who cannot do this valuable and meaningful thing under the constraints of traditional thinking, and the owner of the tomb had this idea two thousand years ago, and you all think about it, what does it mean, so this morning is worth remembering for the rest of our lives. ”

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Professor Chen continued: "Foreseeing life and death is actually a painful thing, countless emperors have done everything possible to make elixirs for immortality during their lifetimes, and have begun to build their own luxurious tombs since they ascended the throne, hoping that they can be more comfortable after death, which not only shows the attachment of living people to life, but also provides us with research opportunities for that era." The tomb is the epitome of the country and society at that time, the bones of the poor may be decomposed together with the coffin board after a few decades, leaving no traces, the rich will build a relatively closed tomb with charcoal, quicklime, etc. to remove the moisture, so that they can exist for a few more years, and at the same time there will be some articles as burial companions, emperors and so on will enrich the tomb with luxurious decoration, and at the same time will leave the life of the tomb owner in the tomb, these are as small as hundreds of square meters, as large as tens of thousands of square meters of tombs, All of them more or less tell us today's story about yesterday, any ancient tomb is an art gallery and museum, and our archaeology is to let these dust seals be correctly recognized by people. History is not an illusory thing, archaeology is to re-reveal the lost past. Many people say that we are official thieves, that is, their vision is too narrow, narrow their personal ideology and morality, do not deny that there have been unearthed cultural relics lost in the past, but yesterday does not mean today, the society is progressing, the system is improving, I think everyone here has participated in field archaeology, do you think we are the same as they think? Of course, tomb archaeology is only a small item in archaeology, and they may not understand anything else, except for the gold and silver treasures in the tombs, they don't understand what the real value is, so where is our value? It is to insist on one's own character in the midst of gossip, and to make the discoveries known to the world on the basis of the existing conditions. Since this morning is worth remembering, then now I will let you add a little adjustment to today's memory, a group of 8 people, assigned and coordinated by Comrade Feng Weiguo, open the 30 boxes here one by one, count and register them, and seal them! ”

In the midst of cheers, Feng Weiguo arranged all the personnel and adopted a combination of 2+2+4, that is, two people from Beijing and two local people plus personnel transferred from other cities and counties in the province, and the rest of the personnel were led by Feng Weiguo himself, and continued to extract the coffin liquid from the coffin into each bottle.

Seeing that several groups of people were busy, Chen Zhijun asked fearfully: "Dad, so many people are working at the same time, aren't you afraid that someone will steal?" ”

Professor Chen smiled and whispered to Chen Zhijun: "Fool, I just said so much, the beginning is encouraging, and the back is a warning to them, they all understand it, otherwise why would I talk about those virtues?" Besides, it's not appropriate not to let people participate, and now the camera is basically without dead ends, so don't worry about those. ”

"Is this in line with the rules?"

"What are the rules unruly, it's better to say that than to just declare discipline, right? How much hurts so much? ”

"Yo, I really can't see it, your old man will still have so many ways, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

"Don't be poor, when the boxes in the city come, you arrange for someone to lift the two large glass containers and all the boxes to your tower crane, and then hang them down safely, these are too heavy, and it is difficult and unsafe to carry them down by manpower."

"No problem, then now you can also take me to see these treasures, and tell me about the Tao inside?"

"No problem, let's go, just take one and tell you the story inside."

Professor Chen took Chen Zhijun to Zhang Gong, and saw that Zhang Gong was holding a jade evil spirit in his hand and looking at it with a magnifying glass, so he took it from his hand with a smile and said to Chen Zhijun: "This is called evil spirit, and the gold you bought last year is also this, but do you know the story here?" ”

"I'm a Pixiu, but not to ward off evil spirits, it's to attract wealth, not to drive away evil spirits."

"Look, you're wrong, Pixiu is actually a general name, there is no horn on the head called 'evil spirit', a horn is called 'Tianlu', two horns are called 'Fuba', the legend says that Pixiu is a fierce beast, and it is divided into male and female, the male is 'Pi', the female is 'Pi', but now there is no male and female, the one I am holding now is no horn, the body is tiger-shaped, look at this shape should be a product of the Western Han Dynasty, may be rewarded by the emperor, otherwise I am not allowed to carve jade to ward off evil spirits."
