Behind the tomb is a larger yellow intestine inscription, and we see candle-like lanterns, evenly spaced in the tomb, the furnishings and layout of this ancient tomb are completely different from the previous eight tombs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I have never even seen a burial chamber like this, all the wood is made of pine, and there is no water seepage in the ancient tomb, so the wood is well preserved, and when you enter the burial chamber, you are greeted by the faint fragrance of pine.

Compared with the previous eight yellow intestine inscriptions, the funerary goods here seem to be very simple, the tomb chamber of Nuoda is clear at a glance, the left and right are the ear chambers, the deepest part is the main burial chamber, and the first thing that catches your eye when you enter from the tomb door is a complete bronze carriage.

This set of bronze carriage horses is cast according to the size of the real carriage, but it is completely different from the bronze horses unearthed in other ancient tombs, the general bronze horses are single postures for showing solemnity, and the six bronze horses in front of us are sassy and heroic in different shapes, elegant and smart, some gallop and jump, or look back and neigh, or take off and raise four hooves to smoke, not only lifelike and full of shape.

The bronze car structure behind is complete, the decoration gives people a solemn and majestic feeling, the car body sculpture is exquisite, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and there are colorful paintings all around, which can be called a bronze treasure.

Going around the bronze carriage, the ear chamber on the left is a bronze ritual vessel, in which nine bronze vessels of different sizes are neatly placed, just like the nine tripods and eight vessels we saw in the tomb of Yu Zhong before.

"The owner of the tomb seems to be extremely prominent, a total of nine yellow intestine inscriptions, we only saw two nine tripods and eight bones, which shows that the owner of the tomb here enjoys the same Tianzi Lu as Yu Zhong." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"What do I think of this yellow intestine question?" Zhu Qi was surprised in his voice beside him.

"Uncle Seven, what do you think is wrong?" Tian Wanqing asked.

"The first eight kings' tombs are all from the tomb, which is used to protect the main tomb we see now, it stands to reason that the identity and status of the tomb owner should be far more than the previous eight kings of the kingdom, but in addition to the scale of this ancient tomb, the burial goods are so few, it seems to be inconsistent with the identity of the tomb owner." Zhu Qi held a cigarette stick and looked around.

"Yes, among the eight kings' tombs in front, the burial goods of any one are more abundant than here, since it is for the tomb owner here, isn't it a bit noisy." Xue Xinrou was also a little confused.

We walked to the ear chamber on the right, the funerary goods inside are also neatly placed, but unlike other ancient tombs, here are placed bells and chimes, a full set of ceremonial instruments are decorated with human, beast, dragon and other patterns, the casting of exquisite patterns is detailed and clear, and it is also along the four walls of the ear chamber furnishings, so complete chimes and chimes have never appeared in the previous tombs.

It's a pity that no inscriptions were found on these bronze artifacts, and the identity of the owner of the tomb is not clear for the time being, so we walked to the main burial chamber, and what was in front of us was a jade coffin, which I felt familiar with after looking at it for a long time, as if I had seen it somewhere.

The jade coffin is made of fine white jade, the coffin is decorated all around, and a pattern is depicted on the lid of the coffin, a luxury carriage drawn by eight horses gallops in the mountains, and a man in a gorgeous costume is wearing a magnificent shirt on the car, looking into the distance with a hand pointing to the towering mountain peaks in the distance.

For a while, we didn't know what the pattern carved on the jade coffin meant, Zhu Qi motioned for us to open the coffin, first determine the identity of the tomb owner, we were also very curious about the tomb owner, after opening the coffin lid together, the inside of the bounce thought that the man with straight limbs on his back, head north and feet south, the body was complete and the whole body was moist, the skin and flesh lines were clear and elastic, and he slept peacefully in it as if he had just fallen asleep.

There was no burial goods in the jade coffin, but when I saw the clothes on the tomb owner, I was stunned and surprised, the age of the tomb owner should be fifty or sixty years old, the demeanor is peaceful and dignified, even if it has been buried for thousands of years, I can still feel the inexplicable majesty.

This person wears a black crown, there are bead curtains before and after, because of the vertical, wearing a black robe and a red robe, a red Luo fold, a white Luo with jade, the two shoulders of the Xuanyi are woven with the sun, the moon, the dragon pattern, the sleeves are woven with fire, Chinese insects and other ornaments, which are clearly twelve chapter patterns, representing the imperial costumes.

"Gong Jue, count how many everlasting lamps there are in this mausoleum!" I said it out loud.

"This person not only exceeded the system, but also dared to wear the clothes of the Son of Heaven to be buried, and there were eight kings guarding the tomb, this, this is incredible." Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback.

"Although the Zhou Dynasty was weak, the etiquette collapsed, and there were often trespasses between the princes, but the age of this ancient tomb was the early Western Zhou Dynasty, when the Zhou Dynasty was powerful, and absolutely no prince dared to do such a conspiracy to do something." Xue Xinrou was also puzzled.

The palace lord counted around the mausoleum, walked back and said to me, "No more, no less......

"Just a hundred lanterns, right?" I interrupted the palace lord.

"How do you know?" The palace lord was stunned.

My mouth opened wider, and I covered my forehead in shock, and looked around the mausoleum again: "If it is trespassing, I am afraid it is not only the clothing of the tomb owner. ”

"Is there anything else that violates etiquette?" Tian Wanqing asked.

It took me a long time to calm myself down, although these mausoleums are strange and bizarre, but they are completely built according to the specifications of the Zhou ritual funeral system, and every place follows the rules, which shows that everyone buried here respects the ritual system.

In the past, there were no deviations in the eight tombs of the kings of the Kingdom of Qiu, except for the yellow intestine inscription that we couldn't figure out, but now the ninth mausoleum where we are located is ridiculously wrong.

First of all, this is also a yellow intestine problem, the wood that can be selected is not yellow cypress, but pine, after the palace lord found out, we didn't care, or didn't think about it at all.

Pine wood is very common, and its preciousness is far from being comparable with yellow heart cypress and nanmu, but although pine wood is ordinary, no one dared to use it in ancient times, because in the burial system of Zhou Li, the mound is built to make a tomb, and the height of the mound and the type of trees are determined by the deceased's lordship.

And there are strict regulations, the tomb of the Son of Heaven is three feet high, the tree is pine, the princes are half, and the tree is cypress; The doctor is eight feet, the tree is made of medicinal herbs, the scholar is four feet, and the tree is made of acacia.

"Yes, archaeology has also unearthed several yellow intestine inscriptions, but the identity of the tomb owners is all princes and kings." Tian Wanqing nodded.

"In fact, we have always misunderstood, the yellow intestine inscription is not exclusive to the Son of Heaven, the princes can use the yellow intestine inscription, the biggest difference is the wood used."

"Pine! Only the Son of Heaven can use pine! The palace lord reacted.

"Yes, in the burial system, pine is the longevity wood enjoyed by the Son of Heaven, and its significance is far more important than Huangxin cypress and nanmu." I nodded, pointing to the tens of thousands of pines in the burial chamber. "This is a burial chamber made entirely of pine wood, which is a burial system that only the Son of Heaven can enjoy."

"This person is so bold, he blatantly transgressed the etiquette system, this is a conspiracy, why do the monarchs of the past dynasties of the Kingdom of Yu still have to guard the mausoleum for him, judging from the records of literature and history, the monarchs of the Kingdom of Yu are all Shangqing, it stands to reason that he should be loyal to the Zhou family, why do he dare to help the abuse, and guard the tomb for a rebellious person." Zhu Qi said with wide eyes.

"You asked me to count the number of lanterns in the tomb, is this also related to the burial system?" Gong Jue hurriedly asked.

"In the Zhou ceremony, it is stipulated that the court will light the candle at night, called the court fire, and the number of torches shall be specified as one hundred fires of the Son of Heaven, fifty of the princes, and thirty of the Hou Bo and the son, and later this rule will be applied to the funeral system, and the mausoleum will also be placed in the court fire, which means that it can be as brilliant as the palace before his death, and it will be called the Changming Lantern in later generations." I nodded and said to the palace lord. "There are hundreds of ever-bright lamps here, which is the courtesy of the Son of Heaven, don't look at the burial goods of this mausoleum compared to the other eight yellow intestine inscriptions, but only in this main tomb there are ever-bright lanterns, it can be seen that even Yu Zhong, who enjoys the Son of Heaven, does not have such an honor."

"That is to say, the burial system has been transgressed anywhere in this main tomb." The palace lord looked back at the mausoleum with a stunned expression. "This is the tomb group of the monarchs of the Kingdom of Qiu, and the people who are buried are all kings of the past dynasties, should this person also be the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu?"

"No, although the history of the Kingdom of Yu is rarely recorded in Wenshi Mountain, the ancestor of the Kingdom of Yu is the owner of the eighth mausoleum, and before Uncle Yu was named the king, there was no princely state of the Kingdom of Qiu, so no matter who the owner of the tomb here is, it should not be the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu." Tian Wanqing shook her head and said.

"There are a total of nine ancient tombs here, and they were not completed at the same time, but according to the time when the tomb owner was alive, that is, the age of this tomb master who exceeded the system is earlier than the other eight kings of the kingdom." Ye Zhiqiu racked his brains and was still at a loss. "The more you go back, the stronger the national power of the Zhou family, although the princes and monarchs of later generations have transgressed the etiquette system, but when this tomb owner is alive, no one dares to do such a rebellious thing."

Zhu Qi is skilled in groping for the tomb owner in the jade coffin, and he can't find any burial goods in the jade coffin, and finally Zhu Qi gently broke the mouth of the tomb owner, and there is no jade in it, we have not seen a single text in the entire tomb, and there is no inscription on the jade turtle, so it is difficult for us to determine the identity of the tomb owner.

"The owner of the tomb uses the Yellow River flow map as the tomb door mechanism, it can be seen that this person must have come into contact with the Kyushu Ding enshrined in the Zhou Temple, just by virtue of this, the identity of the tomb owner should be unusual, and there are eight king's tombs next to the main tomb as a tomb, such honors and specifications, unique in later generations." Ye Zhiqiu sighed heavily and said. "The owner of the tomb did not leave a text, it should be that he did not want to be known, maybe these burial goods were not placed at random, and the identity of the tomb owner may be known by unraveling the provenance of these burial goods."

"Chaoge, what are you doing?" The voice of the palace lord came from behind me.

I stood at the entrance of the tomb with my stomach in silence, staring silently at the lifelike bronze carriage, and I listened to the conversation of the others: "This bronze carriage is no small thing. ”
