Husbands and wives were buried together, which has appeared since ancient times.

In the Zhou Dynasty, because the burial system of "Zhou Li" began to improve, the nobles were no longer buried together as husband and wife, but buried opposite each other in different caves.

Up to the Son of Heaven and down to the liehous, basically there will be no husband and wife buried together.

But the low-level nobles below, as well as ordinary commoners, are not so particular, and there are also emotional factors, so there will still be cases of husband and wife being buried together.

After the Han Dynasty, the number of husbands and wives buried in different caves gradually became rare, and the joint burial of husband and wife gradually became the mainstream.

In the Tang Dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to the common people of Limin, they were all buried together as husband and wife.

The Zhaoling Tomb of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is the joint burial tomb of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress.

And absorb the thick burial of the Han Dynasty, so most of the Han tombs were stolen, and the bones of the emperor were also abandoned in the wilderness.

Zhaoling, in fact, is a part of a mountain dug as a mausoleum.

It is also considered by the feng shui masters of the past dynasties to be the best mausoleum for the feng shui of the emperors of the Chinese dynasties.

The pile of bones found in the northwest corner of the main burial chamber has determined the gender of the owner of the tomb.

It can be regarded as solving a question for the archaeological team.

However, because there were only bones, even the coffin was gone.

Therefore, the identity and name of these two tomb owners cannot be answered for the time being.

After collecting the remaining bones and transferring them for safekeeping, Chen Han squatted in the northwest corner, hoping to find some traces left by the tomb owner.

Since there are bones, there may be seals that you carry with you, and they may also be scattered in this northwest corner.

Tomb robbers rob tombs, and they will never search very carefully.

The seals on some tomb owners can easily be missed, or it is difficult to find them.

Compared with gold, silver and jade, the collection circle of seals is much smaller, and it is not possible to find a suitable buyer and sell it at a price that can be done in a while.

Therefore, it is often discarded on the ground by tomb robbers with bones.

Perhaps, you can find some useful artifacts next to these bones.

Not to mention, I did find something.

Soon, Chen Han found a 鋬 (pàn) gold cup in the mud in the northwest corner!

鋬, that is, "the part of the utensils that is prepared to be held by hand", the so-called gold cup refers to a kind of cup mouth extending out of a half-moon shape, used to grasp the gold cup.

This kind of cup was more popular in the Tang Dynasty.

However, the golden cup found in the mud was intact, but it had been deformed by the extrusion.

It became an elongated oval.

There is a ring-shaped handle between the mouth and the fold of this cup, and there is a finger pad on the upper part of the handle, and there is a finger pad on the lower part, and the finger pad is flush with the mouth edge, which is in the shape of a half-moon cloud head.

The First Clan

The body is plain, that is, it is completely molded with gold, without any superfluous decoration and no patterns.

There is a primitive and rough beauty!

The whole cup is about 11 centimeters in diameter, which is a large cup, and the height is six or seven centimeters.

The body is very thin, estimated to be only two or three centimeters.

For gold, it is not difficult to make it thin.

After all, gold itself is very malleable.

In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, gold leaf edging could be done, and making such a cup with a thickness of two or three millimeters was naturally not a technical problem in the Tang Dynasty.

Even Tuyuhun himself can do it.

It's just that this cup is plain noodles and has no lettering, so it still can't help uncover the identity of the owner of the tomb.

", there's a beard!"

As soon as he cleaned up the finger gold cup, Chen Han immediately found a stacked Hu bottle in the mud under the finger gold cup!

Also made of gold!

This bottle is very well preserved, and it is not very deformed, only slightly deformed.

After all, the texture of the gold thing is soft, and if it is buried in the soil, it will be a little deformed when it is squeezed.

This golden beard bottle is also plain noodles.

The standard beard looks like a bottle, with a flare mouth, a slender neck, round shoulders, a deep bulging belly, and a small hoop foot.

Chen Han, who doesn't know much about the cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty, can recognize it at a glance.

No way, Hu Vase is too famous among the cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty.

Gu Gu wrote in "Li Offering Dangong Hou Song": "The silverware and bottle will be carried immediately, and Ruijin will be sent in a full car." ”

There is also in Lu Lun's "Song of Returning Zhang Langzhong to Shu": "The weeping poplars do not move and the rain is one after another, and the brocade tent and the bottle are vying to send you." He was drunk and put his hair on the flute, and saw the red sky into the white clouds. ”

The sixth of the famous poems of the group of poems of Wang Changling, the Seven Absolute Holy Hands: "Hu Bottle falls purple and sweaty, and the autumn moon group in the west of the broken leaf city." Ei Xingchi sealed the sword, and resigned to take Loulan overnight. ”

The Hu bottle can be said to be a representative artifact of the Tang Dynasty.

But this thing was not made by the Tang Dynasty, but came from the Western Regions.

The so-called "Hu bottle" is the bottle used by the Hu people, or the bottle that was introduced to the Central Plains from Hu Di.

Hu bottles were used in Persia and throughout the Middle East, and spread to the Central Plains through the Silk Road around the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Then in the Tang Dynasty, it became the most common kind of bottle in the dynasty.

Why?

Because of the prevalent drinking culture in society at that time, from the emperor to the common people, all classes in the Tang Dynasty generally drank alcohol.

It's a bit of the Shang Dynasty's flavor.

During this period, there were many liquor shops and flag pavilions in Chang'an City, the capital.

During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was the largest gathering place of the Hu people in East Asia.

Countless Hu people arrived in Chang'an from the Silk Road to do business, or to settle down.

At that time, the chance of seeing a blonde and blue-eyed Hu man in Chang'an City was greater than the chance of seeing a foreign country in the capital now.

Basically, when you walk down the street, you can see the figure of the Hu people.

These Hu people, in addition to making jewelry and groceries in Chang'an, one of the most important businesses is to run a wine shop!

How famous "Orchid" was in the Tang Dynasty should not need to be described too much.

At that time, from the aristocracy to the common people, they were willing to enter the wine shop opened by the Hu people, watch an orchid performance, and experience the orchid dang and the orchid persuasion.

Similarly, in addition to the prosperity of the orchid service industry, the hu beds, hu cakes, and hu bottles in the wine shops naturally became very popular, and quickly became a cultural trend in the Tang Dynasty.

This is the same as when the modern reform and opening up, all kinds of bell bottoms and explosive heads became a trend among young people.

Because most of these Hu people are from Central Asia.

In Central Asia, wheat and pasta have always been the staple foods.

Similarly, under the influence of these Hu people, the Western Han Dynasty has re-entered the people's field of vision, but it has always been unpopular, and wheat that no one eats has finally become popular in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

Hu cakes, that is, steamed buns, grilled buns, noodles and other foods eaten by modern people, have gradually become the staple food on the table of the Tang people under the influence of the Hu people.

It was the open and tolerant social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty that all foreign food, people, and things could be quickly accepted and integrated by the Tang people.

This has created a unique Tang Dynasty and Jutang style in Chinese history!

"Tang" became the second oriental giant country to spread throughout the civilized world after "Han"!

Even now, Chinatowns are still all over the world!
