The Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences moved quickly.

However, just after the rescue excavation of this Nanchang tomb was confirmed, the archaeological team composed of the Xia Shangzhou Research Office and the Qin and Han Research Laboratory of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences immediately set off.

Chen Han, who belongs to the Xia Shangzhou Research Laboratory, is naturally only on the list of members of the archaeological team.

It's not that the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences only has Xia Shangzhou and the Qin and Han Research Offices going out to work every day, and Chen Han can get job opportunities as soon as there is a project.

But the projects of several other research rooms, the Tang and Song Dynasty Research Rooms, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties Research Rooms, could not find Chen Han's head.

In fact, archaeologists from other research laboratories of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences spend most of the year participating in archaeological projects.

It's just that the projects they participated in had nothing to do with Chen Han.

He is a person who studies the archaeology of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and at most some archaeology of the Qin and Han dynasties, where will he engage in archaeology in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The last time the Tuyuhun tomb in Qinghai was because there was a shortage of manpower in the Tang and Song archaeological rooms at that time, and several Tang and Song tombs were participating in the excavation.

It was really a shortage of manpower, so I borrowed people from the research laboratories of Qin Han and Xia Shangzhou.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Han would only participate in archaeological work during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties and the Qin and Han dynasties.

For example, this time the Nanchang Han Dynasty tomb!

......

April 15th.

Chen Han, who had just returned to the capital for a few days, followed Kong Jianwen and Professor Li to Nanchang.

Jiangxi is next door to his hometown, and the temperature and climate are quite similar.

And there are many mountains in Jiangxi.

After arriving here, Chen Han had a feeling of returning to his hometown.

It is the food culture here in Jiangxi, which is quite different from Fujian by the sea.

After coming out of Nanchang high-speed railway station, the first thing you see is a variety of shops selling powder.

Mixed noodles, snail noodles, fried noodles, soaked noodles, soup powder......

There are all kinds of rice noodle food shops, lined up on the roadside.

Although it is said that there are also very famous Xinghua rice noodles in Fujian, Xinghua rice noodles and Nanchang rice noodles are completely different.

Chen Han curiously packed a mix of noodles.

Snow-white round flour that looks like white pasta.

But the taste is not the same as pasta at all, QQ bounces, and it's pretty good.

At least for Chen Han, a person who grew up eating rice, the taste of rice noodles made from rice milk is still very popular with him.

After a brief tasting of the local food, the group from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences went directly to Dundun Mountain in the Xinjian District of Nanchang, where the tomb was discovered.

On Dundun Mountain, the archaeological team composed of the Jiangxi Archaeological Institute and the Nanchang Archaeological Institute has been busy exploring the tomb.

When Kong Jianwen and the others arrived, several archaeological staff from the Nanchang Archaeological Institute had just crawled out of the fifteen-meter-deep robbery hole.

Before Kong Jianwen and the leaders of the Jiangxi Archaeological Institute could say a few words, the archaeologists who crawled out of the cave sighed and said, "This group of tomb robbers is indeed very professional. ”

"This hole went straight into the main burial chamber."

"The scene was a mess, there were some wooden planks scattered on the ground, even the coffin was sawn open, and all the funeral goods inside were gone."

"The most important main burial chamber, the artifacts have been stolen."

"Have you caught all those tomb robbers?"

Wen Yuangen, director of the Jiangxi Institute of Archaeology, also sighed: "It's still being investigated." ”

"In a local cultural toy market in Nanchang, someone has a big golden dragon and wants to sell it, and Bacheng is a member of this gang of tomb robbers."

"The local police are following this line."

"I hope some of the artifacts can be recovered."

If there is any dynasty with the most tomb treasures, it must be the Han Dynasty.

It's not just because the nobles of the Han Dynasty like to use gold-threaded jade clothes and like jade burials.

The more important reason is the thick burial system advocated by the Han Dynasty.

This led to the people of the Han Dynasty, whether they were commoners or nobles, after their deaths, they would bring the things they used during their lifetime to be buried, and his descendants would also prepare some gold and silver utensils for them.

In fact, the most valuable thing is not these gold and silver objects, but the things used by the tomb owner during his lifetime.

If the owner of the tomb is an official, then it is likely that the documents and attachments that he had reviewed during his lifetime, the books he read, etc., would be buried together.

At present, the bamboo slips unearthed in the Chinese archaeological community, the largest source is the Han Jane!

And it's not just because the Han Dynasty was the last glorious period of bamboo slips.

It was not until the Han Dynasty that bamboo slips began to be widely used as funerary objects.

Before the Han Dynasty, the "knowledge" recorded on bamboo slips needed to be passed down from generation to generation.

Each bamboo slip is the most precious treasure, and it is impossible to bring it underground.

Therefore, although the amount of Chu slips unearthed in the Warring States period is also very large, it is really compared to the amount of the world, and the bamboo slips of the Warring States period are definitely not as good as the bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty.

tomato

It can be said that most of the modern archaeological archaeology of the pre-Qin period relies on bamboo slips from the Han Dynasty.

The discovery of countless bamboo slips in the Han Dynasty not only revised the history of the pre-Qin period, but also saved countless Chinese cultures that had been broken off.

All kinds of out-of-print articles that are only found in the titles of books recorded in historical books, but do not see their contents, are all unearthed through the unearthing of bamboo slips in the Han Dynasty.

After the death of a person in the Han Dynasty, if he had a lot of favorite books during his lifetime, these books would usually be buried with him.

As for whether these books will be lost after the burial.

Of course not!

Before the funeral, take the bamboo slips again and copy a copy of the content at home to continue to pass it on.

In the past, when Zong Zhou was in the past, people did not have the habit of reading bamboo slips before burial after death, so naturally there was no need to do this, it does not mean that they can't do it.

It can be said that in addition to the transcription of the surviving documents of the Han Dynasty, one of the biggest reasons for transcription is to give the dead ancestors a burial, and then they will be re-copied.

That is to say, among the tombs of various dynasties currently buried underground, only the tombs of the Han Dynasty are the most important for the source of Chinese culture!

Countless unique, rare, and out-of-print works of the sages may lie quietly in a Han Dynasty tomb, waiting for archaeologists to discover them, waiting for the day when they will see the light of day.

Therefore, although the gold and silver treasures in the main tomb have been stolen, Wen Yuangen is still full of expectations for this tomb.

He asked a little nervously, "What about the bamboo slips?" Have you found bamboo slips in the main burial chamber? ”

However, in the face of the director's question, the archaeological staff who got out of the tomb had a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Director, I didn't find any bamboo slips."

Wen Yuangen's face immediately became heavy, he waved his hand, and comforted himself: "Maybe it's been too long, and the bamboo slips that were buried with it are all mixed with the soil." ”

"I'll have to go down to the tomb and check it carefully."

"As a liehou, no matter how many marquis Hailun marquis this is, he must have read a lot of bamboo slips during his lifetime, and it is impossible to be buried without bamboo slips."

"Prepare for the official excavation!"

Wen Yuangen must not be willing to accept the fact that there are no bamboo slips.

It's just that the other archaeological workers have mixed feelings.

The cultural relics in the main tomb have been stolen, if there are not even bamboo slips, then this time Nanchang once in a hundred years tomb, I am afraid it will be anticlimactic.

This is a big pity for the archaeological and historical circles!
