Chapter 160 The Cultural Base of the South Vietnamese Kingdom

West Ear Chamber.

On three suspended wooden planks about 60 centimeters above the ground, three staff members of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology are reaching out to pull the full funerary goods below.

The choice of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology is very correct.

There are really too many funerary goods in the West Ear Chamber.

Just in the doorway, a group of nine small copper tripods, and a group of copper spoons, copper tubes, pottery pots containing pills, and unknown utensils in the shape of a chain of copper bells were enough for them to clean up.

And these things are just some of the utensils on the top layer of the doorway.

In the southeast corner of the west ear chamber, there is also a pile of pottery fragments, and there are a large number of lacquer fragments in the middle, which can be identified as lacquer boxes, lacquer plates, and even more that are unrecognizable.

On the south side of the middle, there are bronze mirrors and arrow shafts.

The most important thing is that at the top of the middle, there seem to be several seals, and the material is more special, including jade and agate.

The western part of the country is full of silk fabrics, but unfortunately these silk fabrics have been carbonized, and there are traces of wooden planks underneath, which seem to be the wooden boxes or wooden shelves originally used to store these silk fabrics.

Moreover, this is only a small part of the burial goods that accompanied the West Ear Chamber.

Because these are the top burial goods visible to the naked eye.

Underneath these artifacts, there are also piles of other burial goods in the middle and lower layers.

The size of this west chamber has been measured, and it is about 4.1 meters long, 1.75 meters wide, and 1.82 meters high, which is actually not very large, which is the size of a modern bedroom.

In addition to this, there is a passage that is 1 meter long, 1 meter wide, and only 1.44 meters high.

It is also the most serious blockage in the aisle, and all kinds of bronze and pottery are stuffed on the aisle, and the thickness of the accumulation is more than 60 centimeters.

It is conservatively estimated that there are at least five or six hundred burial goods in the entire west ear chamber plus the aisle!

That's less to say!

However, because the environment in the tomb is humid and the ground is weakly acidic soil, the corrosion of the bronze objects is also relatively serious, and some of them have been completely oxidized.

Not to mention lacquered wood and silk fabrics.

Only a few artifacts are in good condition.

However, among the few well-preserved artifacts, there are also treasures!

For example, a lacquer-painted character portrait mirror with a diameter of 11 centimeters is a rare and valuable preservation of a complete lacquer painting, and the portrait is lifelike.

The painting art full of the style of the Western Han Dynasty is a rare cultural relict in the archaeological excavations of the Han Dynasty!

In addition, there is a turquoise inlaid mirror and a wrong gold inscription Tiger Festival, which are also very rare Han Dynasty cultural relics.

Especially the Tiger Festival.

It is a token used in ancient times for military and diplomatic purposes!

Previously, in Hunan, Hubei, AH and other Chu cultural areas, some tubular knots and dragon knots were unearthed.

It is worth mentioning that the Tiger Festival and the Tiger Talisman are different.

Although they are more or less useful in use, they are all vouchers held by the emissaries to mobilize troops, or to transfer some branches belonging to the state.

However, the back of the tiger talisman was inscribed with an inscription, and then it was divided into two halves, the right half was stored in the imperial court, and the left half was issued to the commander of the army or the local governor.

And it has always been a special talisman, one place and one talisman, it is impossible to use a talisman to mobilize the armies of two places at the same time, and the two halves need to be verified when the troops are transferred to take effect.

From the Qin to the Han Dynasty, the Tiger Talisman was an item that had to be verified for the mobilization of the army.

And the knots are different.

The knots are not divided into two halves, they are usually a complete whole, and then an inscription is also engraved on them.

The birth of the festival should be earlier than the tiger charm, or the tiger charm is a product derived from the tiger festival.

Originally, the birthplace of the "festival" was the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Later, under the exchange and study of Qin and Chu, he was learned by the Qin State, and then the Tiger Talisman of the Qin State was born.

This tiger knot, found in the west ear chamber, is in the shape of a tiger cast in bronze with flat plates.

The tiger is squatting, the tiger's mouth is wide open, and the tail is bent into an "8" shape.

The markings on the tiger's body are cast with shallow grooves in the shape of a curved leaf, and gold foil sheets are pasted inside, and 60 pieces are shared on both sides.

The tiger's eyes and tiger's ears are also outlined by fine gold sheets.

The style is very exquisite, and the preservation is very good, and there are four seal scripts engraved with the wrong gold: "The king's order to drive the road".

It can be seen that this should be a signal to mobilize chariots and horses.

This tiger festival unearthed from the tomb of the king of Nanyue, from the perspective of text, ornamentation, etc., has a relationship with Chu culture.

It is also the only false Golden Tiger Festival discovered so far.

Originally, there were very few "sections" unearthed in Chudi, even fewer copper sections, and none of the wrong gold inscriptions!

The Golden Tiger Festival unearthed from the tomb of the king of Nanyue is of extraordinary significance!

It can be said to be a unique cultural relic in the world!

The Guangzhou Archaeological Institute has not yet covered the heat, and this tiger festival was immediately sent to the Guangdong Museum.

It is said that it is borrowed to enjoy for a few days.

As for how long to borrow.

Let's talk about it, I'll definitely pay it back after that anyway.

Because although the tomb of the king of Nanyue has not yet been excavated.

But the local government in Guangzhou, and even the provincial government, quickly decided to build a cultural base for the South Vietnamese state on Xianggang.

The high-end apartment project that was negotiated with the real estate developer has been yellow.

Now the land on Xianggang has been returned to the state, and professional architects are invited to build a cultural base of South Vietnam on this 9,000 square meters of flat land.

The entire South Vietnamese cultural base will include a South Vietnamese National Museum, an antique building complex, a food street, and supporting hotels.

In particular, the museum and building complex are intended to completely follow the Qin and Han styles, and provide film and television base rental services.

Guangzhou intends to build the entire Xianggang into a "Yigu Town" in a modern city, not only as a museum, but also as a tourist base.

When the time comes, some Hanfu brands will be invited, and merchants such as antique utensils, antique restaurants, and markets will settle in.

After tourists come to Xianggang, they can experience a journey through time and space.

From the beginning of entering Xianggang, you can change into a set of costumes from the Qin and Han dynasties, play in it for 1-2 days, and finally visit the real Nanyue Museum and the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Nanyue.

One-stop play, you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, you can do it all in the park.

In the extremely stressful environment of the modern city, this kind of activity that allows people to travel through time and space to relax and relax in the "Qin and Han dynasties" is still quite attractive.

Modern people need such a place to release and relieve stress.

Although the "Qin and Han Dynasties" built with the goal of having fun, the gap between them and the real Qin and Han dynasties is very large, and there is only the form and no meaning.

But tourists don't care!

Tourists just want to relax and experience the ancient life of "leisurely seeing Nanshan" in the poem.

It's tiring enough to be a cow and a horse in the modern workplace, so you don't have to come to play, but you also want to experience the hard life of the people at the bottom in ancient times.

It is definitely enough to experience the ancient scenery and culture.

Besides, it's not all fake.

Isn't there a museum of the South Yue Kingdom, and all the cultural relics unearthed in Zhao Hu's tomb will be placed in this museum.

And the local government plans to wait for archaeologists to clean up the tomb and keep it like the terracotta pits excavated in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Get the glass and directly build a real museum on the ground floor!
