"His grandmother's!"

"This group of tomb robbers is really clean!"

Zhuang Yunpeng scolded resentfully.

Throughout the afternoon, the soil in the main burial chamber was roughly cleaned, and the most found was only some ornaments!

There are gold deer pattern silver ornaments, octagonal tangled branch gold ornaments, gold ornaments with gold mounted archery figures, turquoise gold elephant ornaments and so on.

Some of these ornaments were unearthed in the main burial chamber coffin bed, some were unearthed in the northwest corner of the coffin bed in the main burial chamber, and some were unearthed on the steps of the tomb road.

Speaking of style alone, it's actually quite good-looking.

Paste gold deer pattern silver ornament, engraved cloud pattern around the periphery, the center is a deer as a walking shape, the right front hoof is raised, swaggering, swallowing clouds in the mouth, the neck is tied with brocade silk, very exquisite.

The octagonal entwined gold ornament is a pure gold ornament, octagonal, engraved with entwined branches. There are 4 small nail holes on the edges.

The silver ornaments of the gilded riding and archery characters are even more remarkable, and the silver ornaments are gilded and engraved with the image of the characters riding and shooting.

The figure looks back and shoots an arrow, wears a felt hat, wears a beard, steps on a stirrup, draws a bow and an arrow to ride and shoot.

The horse stretches out its limbs, gallops, wears a halter on its head, and wears a saddle bow!

That's called a handsome!

This piece is also the largest, with a length of 23 cm and a residual height of 16 cm!

The turquoise gold elephant ornament is a pure gold ornament, which is a complete pictogram, with engraved flower and grass patterns on the elephant's body, and fine lines of hair on the elephant's feet.

It's called a lifelike and exquisite.

But these ornaments are good-looking, and we can't forget their original role!

Ornament ornament, naturally is used for decoration!

These ornaments are just ornaments sewn on the burial goods.

It's like a brooch or badge pinned to a modern person's clothes.

It is estimated that they have been buried underground for a long time, and these ornaments have fallen and fallen off from the original burial goods.

Then the later tomb robbers, who did not have the time to pay attention to the gold and silver pieces that fell in the soil, escaped being stolen.

They were the only ones who escaped, and the rest of the burial goods were basically stolen.

Anyway, the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Qinghai Institute of Archaeology did not find a few complete burial goods in the main burial chamber.

Except for the Hu bottle found by Wei Lai, as well as the golden cup, there are very few other complete burial items.

In the evening, they found several gilded silver medallions, gold ornaments on the front bridge of the saddle, golden apricot leaves, turquoise gold cladding fragments, and a number of silver ornaments of the standing phoenix.

It is still some ornaments, and there are no complete cultural relics.

Instead, a gilded silver plate was found in the disturbed soil of the main burial chamber, that is, in the layer of soil where the ground had been turned upside down.

However, this gilt silver plate is broken, except for the central floral pattern and the surrounding symmetrical Ruyi cloud pattern because of the gilt and golden, the rest are silver oxidized black, and it is also broken into several pieces.

It should be that when the tomb robbers found this gilded silver plate, they saw the black traces of silver oxidation, and threw it directly and violently on the ground, before breaking it.

Silver that oxidizes to black was basically worthless in ancient times.

It's not that the ancients didn't know what to do with silver oxide, they just needed to re-smelt it.

It's just that this thing is a cultural relic, a gilded silver plate.

It is the silver that is valuable, not the silver.

For the tomb robbers, it is better to have the effort to melt it back into silver, and it is better to lose it.

Silver isn't worth much in modern times.

Together with the gold-and-silver lacquered plate containing grape seeds that Wei Lai found on the altar, this is all the gold and silver artifacts found in the entire tomb.

Of the more than 600 artifacts stolen by tomb robbers, it is estimated that most of them must have been stolen from the main burial chamber.

Otherwise, the most important main burial chamber could not have only this bit of gold and silver.

Although the Tang Dynasty admired thin burials, that refers to the Tang Dynasty, not Tuyuhun.

And even if the Tang Dynasty people are buried thinly, the "thin burial" of nobles is different from the thin burial of commoners.

A civilian coffin with a light vessel in it is considered a thin burial.

However, for the thin burial of the nobles, the coffin should be the best, and some daily necessities that the deceased loved to use during his lifetime, as well as gold and silverware, clothes, etc., all need to be buried with him.

The so-called thin burial is just not to bother to create valuables specially used for burial.

Most of the things that the owner of the tomb used during his lifetime still had to bring into the tomb.

This is the "personal belongings" of the owner of the tomb, and even if he dies, it belongs to him.

The Tang Dynasty nobles with a little status will also have a lot of gold and silver utensils to accompany the burial when they are buried.

Especially for female aristocrats, the jewelry and storage boxes she used during her lifetime have always been the top priority in the excavation of tombs in the Tang Dynasty.

However, in the main burial chamber where the husband and wife were buried together, not a single piece of the hostess's jewelry was found.

"Hopefully, the hostess's jewelry is in the side room."

In the evening, in a small restaurant in Shuhui Township, the staff of the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Qinghai Institute of Archaeology filled the restaurant.

Lin Ya took a sip of beer and said with some emotion: "It is said that the gold and silver jewelry of the Tang Dynasty is the most exquisite, and the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is also the highest in all dynasties. ”

"As a result, not a single piece of jewelry was found in this tomb, which is a pity."

Zhuang Yunpeng took over the conversation: "Datang is Datang, Tuyuhun is Tuyuhun, although Tuyuhun is close to Datang and has been conquered by Datang, but the national culture and customs are definitely different." ”

The status of women in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the living environment, were indeed the best in all dynasties.

This can be seen from the clothing of women in the Tang Dynasty.

A low-cut outfit that exposes the career line.

This kind of openness could not be achieved by any Chinese dynasty.

And the further back it goes, the less likely it becomes.

Only in the Tang Dynasty could women be so open.

Not only is there no taboo in wearing hundreds of clothes, but he can also take the initiative to divorce his husband, and there is no psychological burden when he marries for a second time.

This may be the special atmosphere brought to Datang by Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Taiping and other ruthless women.

Why do Chinese people think that the Han and Tang dynasties are more representative of Chinese culture, more proud of China, and more magnanimous?

may be related to the openness of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the high status of women, and the more atmospheric social atmosphere.

At least Lin Ya liked the Han and Tang dynasties very much, so she chose Qin and Han archaeology as her main research direction.

It's just that this time, in the main burial chamber of the New Xuewei No. 1 Tomb, no jewelry of the hostess was found, which made her very disappointed.

"Among the stolen artifacts that have been recovered are a large number of women's jewelry and gold and silver objects for daily use."

Professor Ke said indifferently: "If you want to see it, I can take you to the cultural relics preservation library later." ”

"And we've only cleaned part of the main burial chamber, and maybe we'll find some of the hostess's gold and silver in a few days."

"It's really not good, there are four side rooms, maybe one of them is a side room, which is specially placed for the hostess's funeral goods!"
