"That's not right..."

Holding this sword, Kong Jianwen fell into contemplation again.

"This is a bronze sword made by Qin, and according to the laws of the Qin State, all weapons cast by the state must be engraved with the names of officials and craftsmen."

The Qin State was very strict about the manufacture of weapons, requiring each craftsman to leave his own mark when making weapons, so that if the quality of the weapon was not good or there was a problem, the craftsman would be held accountable.

And if it is found that any weapon is not marked, then all relevant personnel in the entire manufacturing chain will be punished by "goods and armor".

That is, the penalty is equivalent to the money of a suit of armor.

If you can't pay it, then go into hard labor!

In the feudal era 2,000 years ago, this kind of responsibility system that was accurate to the individual effectively improved the quality of Qin's weapons and avoided cutting corners and shoddy manufacturing.

From Qin Shi Huang to Qin II, this set of laws was strictly enforced.

The terracotta warriors and horses unearthed in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are all engraved with marks, from the 3rd year of the reign of King Qin to the first year of Qin II.

Could it be that the Qin-made bronze sword unearthed from tomb M-105 was unofficially made?

But unofficially made, can it be so sophisticated?

Kong Jianwen carefully examined the sword again.

This time, he was extremely careful, and finally found some abnormalities on the sword bing.

There are traces of secondary polishing at a position of about 3 x 3 cm on the sword bing, and there are obvious slight changes in color from other areas around it.

Seeing this, Kong Jianwen knew it in his heart.

Eighty percent is originally engraved on the sword Bing is engraved with a line of "so-and-so temple workers in such and such a year" mark.

It's just that Qin destroyed Hanxing, for some reason or to avoid it, a certain generation of nobles of the tomb owner's family polished the Qin craftsman mark on the sword.

Although it is a pity, it is not possible to tell the exact age of the sword by the mark engraved by the craftsman.

But it's not a big deal.

The Qin state existed for a long time, but the state of the Qin dynasty did not last long, and the second died.

And there is also the carbon fourteen identification method, and it is not difficult to know when this sword was made.

"Wow!"

"Teacher Kong! And Hold Jade! ”

A sudden exclamation broke Kong Jianwen's contemplation.

Su Sa and Lin Ya, who were still continuing to clean up the coffin, picked up another object from the stagnant water with an excited face.

A yellowed long cylindrical piece of jade!

And on the jade, there are lines carved by a single line, and if you look closely, it seems that a pig is carved.

"Oh, a pig-shaped jade grip!" Yang Han said in surprise: "This is also the most common type of jade grip in the Han Dynasty. ”

The ancients believed that when you die, you should not leave empty-handed, but that you should hold wealth and power.

Therefore, in the Neolithic Age, the ancestors who were buried usually held the animal teeth in their hands.

By the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the deceased held several shell coins in their hands, because shells represented wealth.

In the Han Dynasty, it was common to hold a jade pig in the hand of the tomb owner when he was buried.

"Pig" was not a derogatory term in the Han Dynasty, and there was no such thing as "stupid pig" at that time.

It is rumored that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che called Liu Yu when he was a child, and "Bi" means pig in the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, but to have such a rumor at least shows that pig is not a derogatory word in the Han Dynasty, otherwise it would not be arranged on the head of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty the pig was a symbol of wealth.

The jade pig also became the most popular jade grip in the Han Dynasty.

"Not only that, but there's also a chirp!" Zhang Jianbo also came with good news.

He also fished out a small jade artifact from the water.

"Shuowen Weibu" contains: "Zheng, shoot and shoot." So the strings. Take elephant bones. Wei Department, the right giant finger. ”

韘, Yintong Shooting, has appeared in the Shang Dynasty, is a tool worn by the archer on the thumb of the right hand to hold the bowstring to shoot prey.

The earliest unearthed chime was unearthed in the tomb of a woman in the Shang Dynasty.

By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, the development of the Chi was already very mature, and it was also given a symbol of power.

In modern times, it is often referred to as a wrench and a jade wrench.

The hammer in Zhang Jianbo's hand is not only exquisitely styled, but also uses relatively high-quality jade.

Even if it has been soaked in water for 2,000 years, this piece of chisel is still crystal clear, with warmth and warmth.

This is obviously several times better than the yellowed jade grip of the tomb owner.

Chen Han said with some embarrassment: "It can be seen that the owner of the tomb is indeed in the middle of the family, so he is willing to buy a better jade to make a wrench." ”

"No matter how big the jade grip is, I can't afford to make such a good jade."

Except that the bronze sword is a family heirloom.

The other burial goods of the tomb owner should have been his own belongings, including the jars and jars in the tomb.

After all, the Han Dynasty admired rich burials, and after death, they usually brought their own things into the grave.

The tomb owner's father and even his ancestors should not have left him much jade, and will only bring it into the tomb themselves.

And Chen Han and the others groped in the coffin for a long time, and finally only found these two pieces of jade.

One pair is a jade grip specially used for funerals, and the other should be the only jade wrench used or even the only one used by the tomb owner during his lifetime.

It's a little shabby.

But after thinking about it, the owner of tomb M-105 is actually just a small nobleman, and it is already very good to be buried with two pieces of jade.

It was the precious bronze sword that was found in the coffin before, which raised Chen Han's psychological expectations of the tomb owner's burial goods.

In fact, such burial specifications are in line with the identity of the owner of the tomb.

If seven or eight pieces of jade were found inside the coffin, that was not the case.

At this point, the cleaning of this coffin has also come to an end.

Kong Jianwen stared at the coffin that had basically drained the stagnant water, and sighed twice regretfully.

"Two pieces of jade are not bad..."

"It's a pity that the bones of the tomb owner have been almost hydrolyzed and have lost their research value."

The owner of the tomb had already decomposed before his death, and was even buried after giving birth to maggots, and his body was not well preserved.

After another 2,000 years of groundwater erosion, it is really difficult to preserve the bones.

Not even a slightly larger intact skeleton can be found.

After searching for a long time, we found a few teeth and a few leg bone fragments.

However, just as everyone was about to pack up and close the coffin again, ready to finish the clean-up work.

The sharp-eyed Chen Han seemed to see a hard object only one centimeter in size in a black sediment in the southeast corner of the coffin.

At first, he thought it was a piece of bone fragment left by the tomb owner, so he casually reached out and pulled it out of the sediment.

But after picking it out, he found that it was not a broken bone, but a small and exquisite seal!

Chen Han hurriedly wiped the mud off the seal.

A square turtle button seal clearly caught his eye.

The turtle stands up on four legs, the head rises, the tail hangs down, the turtle's back is decorated with fine lines, and on the printing surface, there are also engraved four-character seal scripts.

Since the seal was so small, he could barely recognize the four big characters after taking a closer look at them.

"The Seal of the Thin"
