"The tomb visited by the tomb robbers is really a storm."

Chen Han sighed and looked at the situation in the room on the north side 2.

Truth be told, it's not good.

There were a lot of leather shards scattered on the ground.

Treated leather is still relatively easy to preserve.

However, after thousands of years, the leather that was originally strong and resilient has lost its toughness and shattered into pieces.

It can be seen that the original north 2 side of the interior should be specially used to place leather goods.

Judging from the style of these leather fragments, it can be seen that most of them are leather boots, horse belts, armor attachments, etc.

There may also be quite a bit of leather armor among them.

However, it is not possible to tell what kind of animal these skins are.

However, Chen Han guessed that it is estimated that most of them are cowhides.

In ancient times, the more mainstream leather products, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign are used cowhide as the main raw material.

Although it is said that earlier, when Yun Mengze had not disappeared, Chu Di and Wu Yue often used rhinoceros skin and crocodile skin to make leather armor and leather goods.

However, with the disappearance of the Yunmengze wetland, and the difficulty of rhinoceros and crocodiles to reproduce, factors such as too high.

After the Han Dynasty, when leather goods were mentioned, leather could only be made from cowhide.

This is true for both agrarian cultures and nomadic peoples.

Of course, in a small number of cases, leather goods made of sheepskin are also used.

However, because leather goods made of sheepskin are far inferior to cowhide in terms of protection and durability, they have not become the mainstream.

In ancient times, even in the Qing Dynasty, the peak of the feudal dynasty, the armor worn by professional soldiers was mainly leather armor, not iron armor.

Iron armor has been a luxury item since ancient times, and at least you have to be a petty officer to wear it.

Ordinary soldiers, the so-called armor, wear leather armor, paper armor, rattan armor.

However, don't underestimate leather armor either.

The cowhide armor made with special technology is still very good in the era of cold weapons, otherwise it would not have been used by the Chinese people for thousands of years.

Countless old cattle ploughed the fields for the Chinese people when they were alive, and after they died, they had to take meat to eat, and take skins to make nails.

And when these cattle are alive, they only need to eat some pasture grass and at most add some beans to feed them.

It is no wonder that Niu has always had a very positive image in China, hardworking and selfless.

In the north 2 side of the tomb of King Tuyuhun, a large number of leather fragments were found.

"We... You don't have to put all these pieces of leather together. Zhuang Yunpeng said with some self-sufficiency.

Chen Han nodded with a serious expression: "Very likely." ”

"Have you ever played puzzles?"

"It's a puzzle with a thousand pieces!"

"That's it."

Zhuang Yunpeng hugged his head and cried bitterly: "No! ”

"Tease you." Chen Han rolled his eyes: "Even if you fight it, will you spell it, do you know what leather goods these leather fragments can spell?" ”

"Just leave it to the cultural relics restoration agency to do."

"But we still have to do the work of cleaning up and extracting, and it's not a small amount of work."

According to rough estimates, there are at least a few hundred pieces of leather in the small north 2 side room, and it is not a small task to collect all these fragments.

In the entire north 2 side room, only Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng and Lin Ya were responsible.

That's quite a task.

Each of the three of them took a pair of tweezers, squatted on the ground, and began to clean and collect the leather fragments.

Over the millennia, the leather, which was originally made to be tough and strong, is now almost like cardboard.

The First Cause of All Worlds

If you use a little more force, you will be pinched into more and smaller pieces.

So when collecting these leathers, everyone is careful in their movements.

I am afraid that if I use a little more force, I will increase the number of cultural relics for the country.

In addition to cleaning and collecting leather fragments, some cultural relics that have not been stolen by tomb thieves or have been leaked have gradually appeared.

Chen Han had just cleaned up more than 20 pieces of leather, and under one of the pieces of leather, he found a golden hairpin!

"Damn, there's a lot of goods!"

After having some fun, Chen Han carefully pulled out the golden hairpin inserted into the soil, and beckoned Lin Ya to come over and take a look.

"Yo, that's a big deal!"

The golden hairpin that Chen Han is holding in his hand is a golden phoenix hairpin!

The hairpin headdress of this hairpin looks back at the tail of the standing phoenix, the neck is bent, the head is raised, the small round eyes, the beak is hooked, and the back of the head is decorated with feathers.

The border of the standing phoenix is also surrounded by fine golden millet, and the two hairpin feet are round and tube-shaped, hollow.

The phoenix bird stood on one hairpin foot, and the other hairpin foot protruded from the phoenix's chest and was broken.

And there is a gold ring on the heel of the front leg of the phoenix.

Moreover, this golden hairpin is not only made of gold, but also inlaid with turquoise on both sides of the whole body of the phoenix.

Depending on the part, turquoise is made into different shapes.

Turquoise is divided into dark green and sky blue, and the two-color inlay is irregular.

This is a typical Central Plains style golden hairpin, not Tuyuhun or Tubo style.

Tuyuhun and Tubo, there is no custom of women wearing golden hairpins on their heads!

However, this golden hairpin should be custom-made, not bought at random by the Tuyuhun people in the hands of merchants.

Because the wind on the golden hairpin is inlaid with turquoise.

In the Tang Dynasty, the "phoenix" was not something that anyone could wear on their heads at will.

is not a duchess, if you want to wear Jin Daifeng, then it is properly arrogance.

Therefore, it is impossible for Datang merchants to sell this kind of golden phoenix hairpin everywhere.

Only the king of Tuyuhun sent someone to find a businessman from the Tang Dynasty to customize such a golden phoenix hairpin for his wife, and also used turquoise with a special meaning in Tubo.

Datang does not have the custom of inlaying wind birds with turquoise!

"It can be seen that this King of Tuyuhun still loves his wife."

"Specially asked someone to create a golden phoenix hairpin for it, which is very heartfelt."

Chen Han took the golden phoenix hairpin and shone it in the sun.

Even though more than a thousand years have passed, the hairpin body made of gold and the phoenix bird inlaid with turquoise are still shining under the sun.

No wonder humans love gold.

This thing is shiny, even after thousands of years, it is still so beautiful, how can it not be liked by humans!

"I've found something too!"

"Lao Chen, come over and take a look, what kind of thing is this!"

Zhuang Yunpeng's shouting interrupted Chen Han's mood of appreciating this golden phoenix hairpin.

He put this golden phoenix hairpin into a box specially designed to preserve cultural relics and walked towards Zhuang Yunpeng.

"What did you find?"

A thing that also shone with golden light, about ten centimeters in length and five or six centimeters in width, a bit like a headdress, was handed to Chen Han by Zhuang Yunpeng.
