"眜 (mò)? Or is it ambiguous? ”

"It's a huh, right? There are two horizontal lines in the mouth, not one horizontal. ”

Chen Han and Professor Li kept looking at the sealing mud and discussing what this word was.

Actually, there's nothing to discuss.

The 眜字 of the seal script is very similar to the 眜字 of modern Chinese characters.

At most, it is to distinguish whether it is a blur or an ambiguity.

Fortunately, there is not only one seal on this sealing clay, but there are four seals on the circular sealing clay, all of which are the same word.

There is a seal in it, which is very clear.

"Huh?"

This character is a polyphonic character that can be pronounced mò or miè.

Eyes, eyes are unknown. - "Sayings"

The five-colored chapter is not separated. - "The Twenty-fourth Year of the Emperor"

This word, in the Qin and Han dynasties, is to describe the meaning of "unknown eyes".

However, it does not refer to a blind person, but refers to a situation in which the eyesight is normal, but the color cannot be distinguished.

That is, color blindness.

At the same time, this word also has the meaning of "risky" and "rash".

All in all, the literal meaning of this word is not a compliment.

It's more or less critical.

Why is there a seal of this "眜"? Kong Jianwen also frowned, very puzzled.

And this is exactly where Fu Pu is puzzled.

He shrugged his shoulders: "Of these nine seals, 2 are printed with the word "Emperor Seal", and 5 are printed with "?? (gu)", and the last two pieces are printed with this character. ”

"This?? and the word, I don't know what it means. ”

Hearing this, Chen Han and Professor Li were also a little dizzy.

?? word, very unpopular.

Modern dictionaries no longer include this word, but it is in the Kangxi dictionary.

The word meant in the Qing Dynasty and was the name of a certain weed.

As for the meaning of this word in the Qin and Han dynasties, there is indeed a lack of historical data and written records, so it is impossible to know.

It is also because this word is only used to refer to a certain kind of weed, and it is not used at all in modern times, so it is not included in the Chinese dictionary.

It hasn't even been changed to simplified Chinese.

In fact, Chen Han, Professor Li and others don't know this word.

It was Fu Pu who took his mobile phone and showed them the record in the Kangxi dictionary to find out.

It can be seen how unpopular this word is.

"What does that mean?" Fu Pu looked at Professor Li blankly.

Professor Li's seal reading ability is also very famous in the industry, and Fu Pu brought them here, in fact, he wanted to ask about it.

But to his surprise, Professor Li shook his head: "I don't know. ”

This can confuse Fu Pu.

The pile of five-colored stones before, he just wanted to use them as a dismount and provoke the people from the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, but he didn't expect them to know what these ores were.

Anyway, there is a geological institute and a mineral research institute, so it is impossible not to study it.

However, the words on these sealing muds are really blind to the Guangzhou Archaeological Institute.

And there's nowhere to ask yet.

At present, there are very few universities in China that seriously offer the study and research of seal script and Zhong Dingwen, and there are few people who study this thing.

And they belong to different people, and they all have different understandings of the same words.

It is too difficult for the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology to figure out the meaning of some unpopular seal scripts and Zhong Dingwen.

Fu Pu really counted on Professor Li to help guide the maze.

Unexpectedly, Professor Li, who is rumored to know a lot about seal writing, didn't know either.

Seeing Fu Pu so lost, Professor Li and Chen Han made eye contact a few times, and finally Chen Han picked up the topic again, and said half-comfortingly and half-explaining:

"Director Fu, this?? What the meaning of the word is, it is indeed impossible to study it more clearly for a while. ”

"This word, appearing on the sealing mud together, is also confusing."

"You know, generally speaking, in tombs, the seal found in the mud seal is usually the seal of the tomb owner."

For example, the seals of those "imperial seals" are obviously the seals of the tomb owner. ”

"The appearance of these two one-word seals is very unreasonable."

"If there is only ??, or only the word 眜�, you can guess that maybe this is the private name of the owner of the tomb."

"But when there are two different characters, it's very difficult to explain."

"And these two words don't seem to be suitable for use as names."

"It's okay, Xiang Yu at the end of Qin has a general, and his name is Zhong Lixi."

"But?? The character has never been used as a personal name, at least in written records, and has not been seen in tomb excavations. ”

"Actually, I don't think these two words should be the private name of the tomb owner."

"Now it can be determined that the owner of this tomb is Emperor Wen of Nanyue, that is, Zhao Hu, the second monarch of Nanyue, which is clearly recorded in the historical records."

"The era in which Taishi Gong lived is the era in which Zhao Tuo and Zhao Hu lived, they were people of the same period, and it is unlikely that the names recorded will be wrong."

"If it is the seal of the private name of the tomb owner, it should be engraved with the word "Hu". ”

Zhao Huqi is not very famous, but there are indeed many relevant records.

Taishi Gong, although there are no fewer mistakes in copying and writing some historical materials, there are also some records in the "Historical Records" that are indeed different from archaeological discoveries and have been revised.

But those are all for the history before the Spring and Autumn Period in the "Historical Records".

The historical records from the early Han Dynasty to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, except for some records that were avoided by His Holiness.

For example, the two young emperors before and after the establishment of Empress Lu, about whether they were the sons of Emperor Hui and how they died.

There are indeed some doubts, and it may not be possible to restore the full picture of the incident by relying on the few records in the "Historical Records".

But if it doesn't involve the Liu family's family affairs, Taishi Gongke has nothing to taboo.

Not to mention the era when Zhao Hu ascended the throne, Taishi was middle-aged and old, and he experienced that period.

With his rigor and seriousness, he should not be able to mistake Zhao Hu's name.

So, this "??" The seal of the word "眜" and the word "眜" appeared in the west ear room, which was a little weird.

"Perhaps, this is the private seal of Concubine Zhao Hu?" Chen Han said with some uncertainty.

This tomb should be more than just Zhao Hu.

Generally, this kind of princes and kings, and even the tombs of emperors.

According to the funeral style of the Western Han Dynasty, it was usually the wife, that is, the queen or queen, who was buried in a different cave with the emperor and princes.

Because according to the social atmosphere at that time, the wife and the husband were equal, and of course the treatment should also be equal.

Including the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and even the earlier Shang Dynasty, the wives of the princes who were in the Eight Classics were buried separately from the princes.

However, the princes had more than one woman.

In addition to the main wife, there are also a bunch of concubines.

To say more, during the Spring and Autumn Period, when the funeral system was still there, the wives of the princes did not need to be buried, because the wives and wives needed to undertake important tasks such as educating future generations and maintaining the stability of the rule of the next nobles.

But the other Teng and concubines of the princes, only for the princes, need to be buried together.

After the burial, he was buried in the same tomb as the princes.

It is generally buried in the side chamber, which is convenient for the tomb owner to "be lucky" after his death.

Therefore, some of the funerary goods in the West Ear Room should belong to Concubine Zhao Hu, such as those silks.

The private seal of the person's name that appeared in the mud may be the seal of Concubine Zhao Hu.

"Let's guess for now."

Kong Jianwen, who had been listening to everyone's discussion in silence, waved his hand: "This tomb of the king of Nanyue has just completed the excavation of the front room, so there is no need to make up your mind in such a hurry." ”

"Perhaps in the main burial chamber, and in the two side chambers, more evidence and answers can be found to solve the mystery of the names of these clay sealers."

"Director Fu, since the cleaning of the West Ear Room has almost been completed."

"Then let's officially start cleaning the main burial chamber tomorrow!"

"To be honest, I've been looking forward to the situation in the main tomb for a long time!"
