Chapter 190: The Third Lady
"One, two, three!"
"Up!"
A heavy top stone was moved with the concerted efforts of Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng and others.
This roof stone collapsed from the top of the head to the ground, pressing down on part of the east side of the room.
If you don't remove it, you won't be able to clean up the burial items underneath.
Although, after being crushed by such a big stone, I am afraid that the preservation of the burial goods that were crushed below is already very worrying, and eighty percent of them have to be crushed.
But the smashed cultural relics, that are also cultural relics, it is impossible to leave it alone!
No matter how bad it is, isn't there a cultural relics restoration department!
Unless it's all shattered into slag, it can be repaired back to its original state.
It's nothing more than a matter of taking a short time.
"Let's hope no pottery is pressed underneath." When carrying, Zhuang Yunpeng did not forget to pray.
Pottery is the most fragile, and other gold, silver and bronze wares, even if they are squeezed by boulders, are generally deformed or broken into several large fragments.
It's not like pottery, once it is hit by a stone, it usually crushes to pieces.
Even if you are lucky and don't break your bones, it will break into a pile of pieces, or more than a dozen pieces.
With a nervous mood, after removing the top stone, Chen Han and Professor Li immediately looked at the area that was hidden by the top stone.
"There's a copper seal!"
A conspicuous copper seal appears among several pottery shards.
Zhuang Yunpeng hurriedly squatted down and picked up the copper seal.
It's still a gilded copper seal, and it's still a turtle button.
Everyone who had already found the two lady seals in the east side room immediately knew it.
"Let's see, which lady's seal is this." Professor Li hurriedly said.
In the history books, there is no record of who Zhao Hu's wife is.
Only his son is written, and it is not even known which lady gave birth to his son.
For Zhao Hu's harem, descendants basically know very little.
Every step of the excavation is a supplement to the history of the South Vietnamese Kingdom, and Professor Li does not pay attention to it!
"Uh..."
However, Zhuang Yunpeng's expression was very embarrassed after taking a few glances at the facets of the copper seal.
"Professor Li, the first word on this face is already broken and illegible, only the three words "Mrs. Yin" at the back can be recognized. ”
After all, this is a copper seal that has been pressed into the ground by the top cover stone for I don't know how many years.
The preservation is not the same as the other two copper seals.
Coincidentally, it just so happened that the first word was already unbearable.
Professor Li took the bronze seal from Zhuang Yunpeng's hand and beckoned Chen Han to identify it together.
This seal is indeed badly corroded, the body part of the seal has become powder, and the gilt has fallen off.
The first word is also broken.
After the two of them examined it carefully, Professor Li said uncertainly: The left side of this character looks like a "yi" character.
Chen Han also said: "The radical on the right is a bit like the word "sound". ”
The two looked at each other.
If the expectation is correct, the inscription of this character should be the word "ministry".
"Mrs. Ministry?"
This is really a very strange title.
Ministry, this word is found in the Warring States script, which has the meaning of commander, jurisdiction, and subordinate.
Although in the Qin and Han dynasties, it has not evolved to the meaning of a certain department of the official office, but it also has the meaning of tribe and tribe.
Take the ministry as the title?
"Perhaps, this lady is from a certain Baiyue tribe that has submitted to the South Yue Kingdom?" Chen Han guessed: "So King Wen of Nanyue gave her the title of wife." ”
"It means that she is the leader of a certain Baiyue tribe."
"In the national policy of the South Vietnamese State and the Bai Yue State, in addition to accepting the Vietnamese people to participate in politics, the most important thing is ethnic integration."
"Zhao Tuo encouraged the Qin army and the immigrants from the Six Kingdoms who followed him south to intermarry with the local Baiyue tribes, trying to integrate them with the Baiyue through large-scale intermarriage."
"Zhao Tuo himself leads by example, marries with many Baiyue tribes, marries the daughters of those leaders, and includes them in the harem."
"This trick and pro-Dafa can be said to be a tried and tested method for the Central Plains ethnic groups to divide and integrate other foreign races."
"As the commander and monarch of a country, Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue Wen, must also marry a large number of Baiyue women."
"So this lady of the ministry should be from the Baiyue tribe, right?"
Chen Han's speculation, Professor Li was noncommittal.
There is no way to conclude just by virtue of the word "ministry" that is not clear and cannot be determined.
There's no written record of this thing, and there's no conclusive evidence.
It can only be regarded as a guess in the direction.
"Let's put this on hold for now."
"Let's see if there's anything else buried."
Interrupting the topic, Professor Li led everyone to explore the area buried by the top stone.
I have to admit that Zhuang Yunpeng's crow's beak is still very accurate.
Indeed, a lot of pottery was smashed by this top stone.
However, it is not only pottery, but also some bronze and jade.
It's just that the texture of the jade is not strong, and most of them are split into two or even four sections.
Most of these buried jade objects are jade pendants or group jade pendants.
Something like jade would not appear in the funeral goods of several ladies.
Jade is an item that symbolizes power.
In a hierarchical feudal society, he could only be buried as an emperor, empress, prince, or queen.
Since the ancient tribal period, jade bibi and jade huang have become exclusive burial items that can only be used by people of the highest tribal rank.
Zhao Hu's wife, although her status is equivalent to that of a prince and a king.
But they were women.
In the Qin and Han dynasties, a society where male superiority and female inferiority have long been entrenched, women are not formal wives, so they must not be able to use jade.
In the west side of the room, the most found jade is the jade pendant!
There were about twenty or thirty pieces, and all of them were very beautiful.
Again, this proves the case.
The level of jade manufacturing in Nanyue is indeed amazing.
And at least the royal family of Nanyue is very fond of jade.
In addition to jade, the most found single type of burial goods is the bronze mirror.
This is not surprising.
A woman's nature to love beauty has not changed since ancient times.
The bronze mirror can see her beautiful face, and she is naturally loved by Mrs. Zhao Hu.
There are a total of 14 bronze mirrors for burial, and most of the patterns are different, which can be divided into five types.
However, the difference between different types of bronze mirrors is only in the lines engraved on them, that is, the mirror paintings are different.
In terms of style, it is still a typical Western Han Dynasty bronze mirror style.
Round, there is a round button seat at the back, and the common arc text, triangular thunder pattern, ribbon pattern, string pattern and so on can be seen in the Western Han Dynasty bronze mirror.
The only difference with the bronze mirrors of the Western Han Dynasty is that there are no inscriptions engraved on these 14 bronze mirrors.
Generally, the bronze mirrors of the Western Han Dynasty will be engraved with inscriptions on the back.
For example, the bronze mirrors found in the Han and Han tombs in the west of Phoenix Mountain.
This may be the difference in style between the bronze mirror of the Nanyue Kingdom and the central part of the Western Han Dynasty.
