"Box?"

"Is this a bamboo stick?"

Su Sa, Lin Ya and Zhuang Yunpeng were all attracted by the thing that Chen Han fished out of the side box, and they were talking nonsense.

There's a lot of black sediment inside the side box, so when this thing is taken out, it's like the kind that has been turned out of the sludge.

But this does not affect everyone's observation in the slightest.

Rectangular in shape, woven with a double-layered "human" pattern, reinforced with bamboo chips around the perimeter, and wrapped with rattan.

From the point of view of production techniques, it is similar to the kind of rattan woven box that is common in the southwest countryside now.

However, in terms of shape, it looks a bit like a bamboo pipe.

The bamboo basket is a kind of bamboo utensil similar to a fishing bamboo cage in the Western Han Dynasty, and the mouth is equipped with reverse bamboo chips.

To this day, fishing cages made of bamboo strips are still used in some places to catch fish.

It's just that this kind of fishing tool should not be put in the coffin, even if you want to be buried, you just need to put it in the tomb.

And the owner of the tomb is a nobleman, so it's unlikely that he would have fished himself, right?

Zhang Jianbo judged with certainty: "I don't think it should be a box woven with bamboo and rattan." ”

"Clean it up, open it and see!"

Chen Han nodded quite agreeably, picked up the big "bamboo box", and prepared to open it for inspection.

At this moment, others also came with good news.

may have explored a new layer of funeral goods, Wang Weida, Lin Ya and Su Sa also cleaned out four "bamboo boxes" of similar styles from the side boxes one after another.

It's just that the size is different, the one in Chen Han's hand is the largest, and the others are slightly smaller, only about thirty centimeters in length, more than ten or twenty centimeters in width, and only half of the bamboo box in Chen Han's hand.

This also made Chen Han even more excited.

If the discovery of these five bamboo boxes is a unique trip to "open the blind box" for them.

The blind box in Chen Han's hand is definitely the one that is most likely to open something good!

It has to be a hidden or rare model!

calmed down a little and was a little excited, and Chen Han immediately started to open this "blind box"!

After carefully examining the four corners of the bamboo box, he soon found an opening.

Even after 2,000 years, because it has been soaked in water for a long time, the preservation of this bamboo box is still very good.

Except for some "softness", there is no glue together.

Chen Han just gently lifted the lid above the box, and the situation inside the box was displayed in front of his eyes.

", this is the five treasures of the study, right?!"

An exclamation of excitement came out of Chen Han's mouth.

I saw that the top layer of the box was quietly placed with pens, ink, inkstones, inkstones, and sharpenings!

For the Western Han Dynasty, these five things were the five treasures of the literati's study.

In the era when there was no blank paper, bamboo slips and bamboo slips were the mainstream used to record words.

It is a kind of wood chip that is wider than the bamboo slice used in bamboo slips, which is suitable for writing official documents or letters, and can write dozens to nearly 100 words in a piece.

Sharpening, on the other hand, is a tool used to remove typos written on wooden slips or bamboo slips, also known as a carving knife or writing knife.

In the era after the popularization of white paper, white paper was cheap and easy to disseminate, and if the literati and ink writers made a mistake when they were dancing and making ink, they could directly change the paper and rewrite it.

But in the era before the advent of paper, bamboo and Jane were scarce goods, very troublesome to manufacture, and the value was not low, and it could not be wasted.

So before the Western Jin Dynasty paper began to be popularized.

When the ancients were writing in the form of 牍 and simplified, if they made a mistake, they needed to cut off the wrong word with a chip, and then continue to write.

In this way, it will not lead to the waste of transition between Mu and Jane.

"Hey, this is a cultural person, maybe he's still a bureaucrat!" Picking up a blank piece of wood in the bamboo box, Chen Han guessed with some uncertainty.

The Western Han Dynasty was not the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were not so many scholars and scholars.

Although it has experienced a hundred schools of thought during the Warring States period.

But in the Qin and Han dynasties, "knowledge" was still something that could only be held by a small number of elites.

It is very difficult for the poor class to learn knowledge.

If a poor man is very lucky to study and become a literate person who can write seal scripts, then at least he can get a knife and pen to do it and become one of the bureaucratic classes in the Western Han Dynasty.

Since the tomb owner's burial goods have a complete set of five treasures of the study, and there are also blank wooden pieces.

It is very likely that the owner of the tomb was a bureaucrat of the Western Han Dynasty during his lifetime.

People who are not officials, even if they are educated, most of them are holding bamboo slips to read, and they rarely use the four treasures of the study.

At that time, there was no poetry or poetry, and there were no poetry meetings or word meetings, and there were no literati and ink writers.

Scholars really just read, and most of the time they read with bamboo slips.

Instead of holding a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, writing, drawing, and painting when nothing happens.

At that time, only the bureaucratic class would make extensive use of the Five Treasures of Scholars, because they had to write a large number of official documents, convey government decrees, and record local governance.

According to the experience of the Western Han Dynasty tombs that Chinese archaeologists have excavated.

Most of the tomb owners with all the stationery utensils were officials during their lifetimes.

For example, the tomb unearthed the famous "Mr. Xi" of "Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Jian".

In his tomb, 1,155 bamboo slips were unearthed for study.

What is recorded above is all the records of his daily work that he has worked hard all his life and carved one stroke at a time, as well as his own hand-copied books on medicine, calligraphy, documents, and law!

In his tomb, there is not a single valuables that can be called a "treasure".

However, these bamboo slips written and left by him himself are a batch of important Chinese cultural heritage!

It is a batch of amazing treasures that record the brilliant civilization of the Qin Dynasty!

When he saw this set of scholar's treasures in the bamboo box, the hairs on Chen Han's body immediately exploded.

The expectation in my heart immediately soared to the top!

If, in case, the owner of Tomb No. 168 is also a bureaucrat in the Western Han Dynasty, like Mr. Xi!

And a large number of bamboo slips that recorded the culture, political affairs, people's livelihood, medicine, and their own work experience in the Western Han Dynasty were buried in the coffin.

Then, this will be a sensational treasure in China!

A Mr. Xi has given modern people a comprehensive understanding of the law, social system, people's livelihood, and the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the Qin State.

The content of the bamboo slips he left behind, from the medical level of the Qin State, the national affairs and conquest of the Qin State, the training methods of officials, to the complete legislative system and a complete set of torture procedures of the Qin Dynasty, as well as more than 20 kinds of strict and thoughtful legal provisions!

There is even the world's earliest record of forensic science theory and practice!

It is very clear to take modern people to appreciate and understand the most glorious appearance of the Great Qin Empire more than 2,000 years ago!

So can the owner of Tomb 168 also let modern people understand the glorious style of the Han Empire?
