Bending over and walking in the corridor of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, Chen Han was a little uncomfortable.

The aisle of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang is not high, and the actual height is a little more than one meter eight.

Since the aisle has not been cleared, the wooden roofing of the aisle has not yet been removed.

In order not to touch his head, Chen Han had to bend down slightly and walk in the aisle.

The actual area of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang is almost more than 400 square meters.

If this is a house, the area is almost as large as a large flat.

This scale, in the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, must be second to none.

Therefore, the aisles are also built relatively wider.

The aisle aisle, since it is for the passage of the "soul", it is natural that nothing will be placed.

However, due to the long-term flooding in the past, the aisle was filled with sedimented silt from the bottom of Poyang Lake, and it was one foot deep and one foot shallow when stepping on it.

The reason why Chen Han wanted to walk through the aisle was because he was going to the west room, where the cleaning of bamboo slips and wooden slips was nearing completion.

Basically, most of the bamboo slips and wooden slips have been sorted out and extracted.

Chen Han, on behalf of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, went to see if there were any new discoveries.

However, before he reached the west room, in the west corridor, Chen Han found something special.

In the corner of the west corridor near the wall, there was an oval object that was half-sunk in the mud, which caught Chen Han's attention.

Adhering to the professionalism of an archaeologist, Chen Han hurriedly stopped, reached out and gently pulled the oval object out of the wet mud.

Halfway through it, he could already see what it was.

It's a bronze mirror!

Bronze mirror, this is the Han Dynasty unearthed items, in addition to the bronze ritual vessels, the largest number of cultural relics.

The Western Han people's love for bronze mirrors is consistent from top to bottom.

Even if it is a slave who has been martyred, when he is buried, he will have a bronze mirror as a burial companion.

It can be seen that the importance of bronze mirrors in the funeral culture of the Western Han Dynasty.

And this bronze mirror did not appear in the main coffin of the tomb owner, but was scattered on the ground of the west corridor.

This can't help but feel a little strange.

Could it be that on the west cloister, there was a martyr?

Chen Han stomped his foot.

The mud under his feet isn't deep, and it seems that he can't bury a coffin or bones without being discovered.

The west cloister has also passed back and forth, and many archaeologists have passed by.

If there really was a human corpse, it should have been discovered a long time ago, right?

Or is it all rotten? Only a few bits and bones remain?

Before Chen Han's doubts were answered, when he picked up the bronze mirror and saw the few inscriptions on the back, the doubts in his heart immediately dissipated.

Because he saw the words "絜 (clean) innocent".

Obviously, this is a very common "white mirror" in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty!

And the use of the "innocent mirror" is obviously not for people to be martyred and buried.

This kind of mirror has been unearthed before when excavating the Han tombs in Phoenix Mountain.

This is usually a mirror given by a wife to her husband who died young, to express her condolences to her husband.

And that's not all.

This bronze mirror is very exquisite, not only beautifully made, but also with inscriptions on the inner and outer rings.

Because there is too much silt on the bronze mirror, the complete inscription cannot be seen at the first time.

However, judging from the appearance of the bronze mirror, the appearance of this mirror is more inclined to the Zhaoming mirror, which is not only a daily necessities, but also a symbol of the owner's identity.

However, the inscription on the bronze mirror is not the inscription of the Zhaoming mirror.

The inscription on this bronze mirror is a variant of the seal style.

That is, it has the characteristics of seal writing, and has the style of official script, which is a kind of fusion font.

On the inner circle, Chen Han saw eight words, which were "See the light of the sun and forget each other." ”

This is a common inscription on the popular "helioscope" in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty.

There is the word sunlight in the inscription on the back of this copper mirror, so it is called a helioscope, also known as "sunlight arc mirror"!

The inscriptions are mostly "see the light of the sun, the world is bright" or "see the light of the sun and forget each other" and so on.

However, it is worth mentioning that the diameter of the helioscope is generally smaller, and to put it bluntly, this type of mirror is one size smaller than other types of copper mirrors.

But the bronze mirror in Chen Han's hand is not small at all, otherwise he would not think that it is biased towards the Zhaoming mirror in terms of style!

However, in the outer circle of the bronze mirror inscription, there is an inscription with the words "絜清白" at the beginning.

This shows that this mirror also has the characteristics of a clear mirror.

One side is like a Zhaoming mirror, the inscription on the outer ring is a white mirror inscription, and the inscription on the inner circle is a solar mirror, a unique copper mirror that integrates the characteristics of three copper mirrors, and thus appeared in front of Chen Han's eyes.

It's simply amazing.

"The bronze mirror of the Han Dynasty, the inscription on the outer ring is the most emphasized."

Chen Han muttered.

Since the inscription on the outer ring is related to the white mirror, it is more likely that this bronze mirror should still be a mourning thing given to her husband by Mrs. Haidu.

Although the history books do not record the time of the death of the Marquis of Haiding.

But the Marquis of Hailun died very early, at the age of 33, his wife may have been alive and well at that time, so naturally there was a need to send her deceased husband to mourn.

Of course, there is a high probability that Mrs. Hailun Hou will not remarry.

Although it is said that the aristocratic women of the Western Han Dynasty are indeed quite popular to remarry.

From the princess to the lord to the princess to the princess, the marquis of Guannei, and the daughters of the ministers, there are no less second marriages, and some husbands are not dead yet, and there are also those who divorce and remarry.

But as the Marquis of Haidu, who married the nobles of the Liu family, it is likely that it is impossible to remarry.

Even if she remarries, no one dares to marry.

Because theoretically, there is no one whose status can be equated with that of the Marquis of Haidu.

Although Liu He was the Marquis of Haidun when he died, after all, he had been the emperor for 27 days, and in the ancient situation of the supremacy of imperial power, the son of heaven was also the son of heaven for a day.

Even his identity is more sensitive than that of ordinary princes and kings.

If Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had three longs and two shorts, theoretically Liu He would have the possibility of competing for the throne again.

So as the wife of Liu He, a sensitive nobleman, even if she wants to remarry, she can't find a suitable person.

Well, except for Emperor Xuan of Han.

But is it possible that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty recruited the relics of the Marquis of Haidun into the harem?

Of course, this is all an afterthought.

Mrs. Liu He's tomb is in the M2 tomb next door, which has been visited by tomb robbers.

It's just that it's not clear exactly when Liu He's wife died.

However, this bronze mirror, eighty percent can be determined, it is the mourning mirror given to him by Mrs. Liu He.

It's just that somehow, it actually appeared in the mud of the West Corridor.

Most probably, it should be the groundwater backflow caused by the earthquake that year, which caused the bronze mirror to be washed out of a certain storage room, possibly the main burial chamber, and then sank to the ground of the west corridor with the current.

Later, the groundwater receded, leaving silt to hide the bronze mirror in the ground.
