A pair of two-thousand-year-old double-pointed square shoes were not only amazed but amazed in Chen Han's eyes.

Two thousand years ago, there was no cotton cloth, and the shoes were made of more primitive linen.

Silk shoes made of embroidered brocade are made of embroidered brocade instead of being covered with patterns.

This pair of double-pointed warped square shoes woven with twine was a style that was less than the top and more than the bottom in the Western Han Dynasty.

Basically, it is a kind of shoe that the lower class of government and the people can afford.

Merchants, low-ranking officials, and low-ranking nobles all used and wore these shoes on a daily basis.

In the No. 1 Han tomb of Mawangdui, there are double-pointed warped square shoes unearthed in the same period.

Of course, Mrs. Xin Chai, as the wife of the liehou, also has a more advanced green silk shoes made of silk silk in the tomb.

Two pairs of silk stockings made of silk were also unearthed.

In the No. 168 tomb of Phoenix Mountain, in addition to this pair of double-pointed square shoes made of linen, only a pair of high socks also made of hemp are still well preserved.

Of course, this does not mean that the owner of the tomb, Mr. Sui, cannot afford to use silk products.

In fact, a lot of the sediment stacked under him, up to 21-30 centimeters thick, was silk sediment.

In other words, when he was buried, a lot of silk fabrics should have been placed in the coffin.

And the clothes on the body should also be made of silk.

Because when Mr. Sui was unearthed, his body was completely naked, without any clothes to cover it.

This meant that the clothes he was wearing were rotting and decomposing.

The shoes made of linen were still there, but the clothes were decomposed, and it was clear that there was only one possibility, and that was that the clothes he was wearing were silk fabrics of a higher grade than linen.

However, it is a pity that the preservation of the silk fabric in the coffin is very poor, and there is no complete silk fabric anymore.

At most, there were only a few fragments of brocade, silk, and yarn, and the two highly damaged yarn crowns in the outer coffin.

Even the linen fabrics that are more resistant to corrosion have some rotted.

When Mr. Sui unearthed it, when cleaning his body, the medical experts cleaned out some yellowish-white, silk-like cotton, but with great tensile strength on his head.

After Kong Jianwen's judgment, it was determined that these unknown substances were hemp fibers that had been decomposed.

This thing is supposed to be a crown hat worn by Mr. Sui when he was buried, but unfortunately it has been decomposed by time.

"In the accumulation in the coffin, some fragments of shoes, socks, skirts, and clothes can also be cleaned up, and there are silk fabrics and linen fabrics."

"Removing the debris from the debris is going to be very complicated and patient."

Kong Jianwen frowned and looked at the foul-smelling accumulation at the bottom of the coffin, and had a headache.

But after thinking about it, he was in a much better mood.

"Compared with cleaning up, the follow-up repair is more difficult, so let's just pack these accumulations and send them to the Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center, so that they can pick them up and repair them."

"We just need to extract some cultural relics that still have a complete shape and are still intact as a whole."

There is a specialization in the art industry.

As a group of field archaeology, they have no room to operate in the face of broken and rotten silk fabrics.

The best way is to pack the whole package and send it to the cultural relics restoration institution, so that professionals can extract, peel and restore.

Kong Jianwen made a decision immediately.

Pack the entire inner coffin and transport it to a professional silk fabric restoration agency!

Of course, before that, they had to do a preliminary inspection and pick out the complete artifacts from the coffin.

"Come on, come on, don't look at it, let's go up together, find out if there are any complete cultural relics in the coffin."

"Be careful with your movements, don't cause secondary damage!"

Kong Jianwen greeted everyone, and Chen Han hurriedly stepped up, put on a mask and gloves, and groped in the coffin.

......

Two hours later.

"Teacher, this coffin is full of rotten accumulations, except for the double-pointed upturned square shoes you found before, there are no complete silk and linen fabrics!"

Chen Han withdrew the hand he was holding in the coffin with a melancholy expression.

The past two hours have definitely been the two most failed hours of his life so far.

Under the huge unpleasant stench, he carefully turned over in the coffin for two hours, but Chen Han didn't find any valuable cultural relics.

In addition to rotten silk fabrics, it is rotten linen fabrics.

Occasionally, there are one or two palm-sized pieces of fabric, but they can't make up a complete set of clothes.

Compared to the 20-layer silk clothes on Mrs. Xin Chai's body, and the plain gauze shirt that shocked the world.

Mr. Sui's inner coffin funeral goods, it was called a miserable, all rotted clean, and not a single complete piece of clothing could be found.

"Tomb No. 168 of Phoenix Mountain, whether it is deep burial, sealing or lack of oxygen, is far inferior to Mawangdui Tomb No. 1."

"And the coffin has been soaked in water for a long time."

"All the silk fabrics that were buried with the burial have rotted completely, how can Mr. Sui be able to preserve them so well?"

"This is so unreasonable!"

Chen Han was puzzled.

Mr. Sui's situation is very different from the situation of Mawangdui No. 1 Tomb that he learned in school.

Mrs. Xin Chai's body can be preserved so well, in fact, there is a very scientific basis.

And not only the remains, but all the burial goods in the coffin are very well preserved.

A large number of silk fabrics in Tomb No. 1 have many varieties, including silk, Qi, Luo, yarn, brocade, etc., all of which are well preserved.

There was even a plain yarn shirt that shocked the world!

This plain yarn shirt is woven from finely reeled silk, and is made of square hole plain weave interwoven with single warp and single weft silk, with extremely fine silk threads, light and exquisite, and uniform and clear eyelets.

On top of that, the weight of the whole garment is only 49 grams, which can be described as light as smoke and as thin as a cicada's wings!

Even while being light and thin, the whole dress is also colorful and gorgeously decorated!

But!

As the highest level of weaving technology in the Western Han Dynasty, it is still the pinnacle of weaving technology even today.

Again, this dress is very, very difficult to preserve.

If you want to be light, you must not use more silk, and most places are just two thin silk weaves.

Even when you wear it on a daily basis, it can easily be damaged or scratched.

Its fragility is similar to that of ultra-thin stockings.

Moreover, silk is a natural polymer fibrin, which is a protein.

Protein is a substance that is very susceptible to oxidative deterioration.

This plain gauze shirt was buried in the coffin side box, but as long as there is a little bit of oxygen, let alone two thousand years, it will rot and disappear in fifty years!

However, the garment has been preserved for two thousand years, and it is still intact, and it does not even need any restoration.

Of course, modern people don't have the level and technology to fix it.

The silkworm that makes this plain yarn shirt has long since evolved, and it can't spit out such light silk.

The important thing is that such perishable silk fabrics can be preserved intact, but Mrs. Xin Chai's body is not as well preserved as Mr. Sui.

Because corpses are more perishable than silk fabrics!

But something miraculous happened.

In Mr. Sui's inner coffin, all the silk fabrics were rotten, and none of the silk fabrics were preserved, but his body was well preserved.

This abnormal scene was really incomprehensible to Chen Han.

"The human body is very mysterious."

Kong Jianwen sighed.

He thought very openly and said: "Any corpse that can not decay for thousands of years is a unique and isolated case. ”

"It is a combination of various accidents, coincidences and luck that will happen with such a small probability."

"So every incorruptible ancient corpse can't be viewed according to common sense."

"If it's really common sense, there shouldn't be a corpse that doesn't decompose."

"Xiao Chen, don't think too much, even those people who are engaged in biology and medicine can't understand these things, so let's not worry about it."

"Seal the coffin, I'll contact the Xi'an Silk Fabric Restoration Center, and let them take over the follow-up repair and treatment of the inner coffin sediment."
