Chapter 257: Ten Dings!

"Da Liu Jiyin!"

Everyone from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences surrounded this jade seal and pointed at it.

"Big" is actually an adjective, which means huge, and it is a word that shows glory.

For example, Daqin and Dahan.

Adding a "big" to the name of the country here is actually a way to show honor.

"Da Liu" is almost the same meaning.

In the Western Han Dynasty, only the people of the Liu royal family could engrave the word "Da Liu" on the seal.

"Da Liu Seal", this seal, while highlighting the high status of the family, cleverly avoids personal information.

This indicates that this should be the private seal of the owner of the tomb.

The official seal and official seal must clearly leave the owner's name, otherwise it is impossible to determine who the seal is.

There is no such requirement for private printing.

In the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, many literati and writers took various names for their private seals.

XX mountain people, XX hall masters, XX laymen and the like, if it weren't for the study of these literati and ink writers, they wouldn't have recognized who the owners of these private seals were.

Although the Western Han Dynasty did not have such a "euphemistic" private seal system, the Western Han people had also begun to play with it.

But this jade seal is still very interesting.

With the turtle as the button, the meaning is the meaning of the subordinate, and the general courtier is to use the turtle button.

However, on the printing surface, it is specially engraved with the "Da Liu" that shows his identity, but it is contrary to his subordinates.

The people of the Liu royal family, if they want to engrave a private seal that shows their identity, they will not use the turtle button, but use the bucket button.

It is mostly seen in high-level seals such as the king's seal and the emperor's seal, symbolizing power.

Like this kind of turtle button, but with the seal of the word "Da Liu", it is still quite special.

There is a kind of taste, although I am your courtier, but my identity is also very high-level, and I am also the taste of the "Great Liu" person.

Considering that the owner of this tomb is most likely Liu He.

It seems easy to understand that he has such an "unruly" private seal.

It's a pity that the name "Liu He" was not directly engraved. Zhuang Yunpeng said very regretfully.

Almost, just a little, he was able to find the seal that represented the identity of the tomb's owner.

Chen Han shook his head: "Liu He's Hou Seal or Real Name Seal is most likely in the inner coffin. ”

"Maybe when he was buried, he hung it around his waist."

"Oh, if you wear a golden jade robe, you might put it in a lacquer box and put it in the head box."

"Golden jade clothes?" Kong Jianwen shook his head: "Unlikely." ”

"Since there is no yellow intestine question, then Liu He should not need the golden jade clothes."

"By the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the golden jade clothes should have formed a system, and they could not be used by non-princes and kings."

"Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty didn't even give Huo Guang a golden jade robe, but gave him a Zi Palace, a toilet, and a yellow intestine inscription."

"That Liu He, who was only a liehou when he died, is even more unlikely to have a golden jade robe."

After everyone looked around this jade seal for a while, after making sure that there was nothing new to discover, they immediately dispersed as birds and beasts one after another.

Without the word "Liu He", it is not a final discovery.

Why do you have to keep doing it?

Chen Han also followed Kong Jianwen and returned to the area they had cleaned up before.

Next to a lacquered wood bed.

Yes, there is also a lacquered wood bed in the inner chamber.

But this bed was much worse than the one in the outer coffin, and it had collapsed into a plank.

And at the corner of the bed, that is, the position of the edge of the bed, there is a pile of dings, neatly placed on the side of the bed.

Previously, Chen Han and Kong Jianwen had already extracted three tripods.

But the strange thing is that behind these three tripods, there are also a bunch of tripods.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Kong Jianwen frowned and counted.

A total of five tripods!

Plus the three extracted before, it adds up to eight tripods!

"No, there are two more there."

Chen Han pointed to the position where the head of the bed had collapsed and said.

At the head of the bed, there are two tripods in the position of the pillow, one is a round tripod and the other is a square tripod.

"Nine, ten!"

Kong Jianwen frowned deeply: "Then this is not nine tripods, but ten tripods!" ”

"What kind of road is this!"

Plus the three extracted before, under this bed, there are actually a total of ten tripods!

Ding, in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, was a more important ritual vessel.

Fortunately in the Shang Dynasty, in addition to making ritual vessels, the tripod also has the role of sacrifice, so on the side of the Yin Ruins, sometimes in the pit of a big nobleman, more than ten or twenty tripods can be found, and each tripod is filled with cooked sacrificial offerings.

But after the Zhou Dynasty, the system of nine tripods and eight guis basically became the consensus of the world.

The Son of Heaven can only be buried with Jiuding.

Shiding, this is even beyond the scope of normal etiquette.

Chen Han spread his hands: "The tripods found in the East Tibetan Room can also be understood as the sacrificial tripods used in the field. ”

"But these ten tripods, I can't explain it."

"This must be a ceremonial tripod."

Kong Jianwen scratched his head: "Have you seen it?" ”

Shiding has it, but what about it?

Could it be that there are still nine guis?

"These bronze tripods, I look like they are complete."

Kong Jianwen thought about it for a while, and said, "Extract the bed as a whole first, and then see what is under the bed." ”

These tripods are all on the edge of the bed, and because the bed has collapsed, many things placed under the bed cannot be seen for the time being.

Maybe under this bed, there is another set of gui.

What is the specific situation, you have to extract the bed first.

Chen Han also agreed with the teacher's decision.

After he got up and went to find a few people from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, everyone was busy extracting the bed as a whole.

It's a big project.

Although the bed has collapsed, it still retains its overall shape and may be repaired.

A Western Han Dynasty bed made of lacquered wood is a very rare cultural relic and must be treated properly.

It took more than two days and several plans to make the whole bed was finally extracted smoothly.

Wrapped in layers of wooden boxes, more than a dozen people carried the bed and rushed straight to the archaeological base next to the tomb.

The bed was quickly taken to the heritage conservation room and re-immersed in clean water.

Because organic artifacts are difficult to preserve.

In particular, the lacquered wood bed, which was originally saturated with water.

In general, lacquered wood is excavated in a saturated environment, so it will be put into the saturated environment as soon as possible.

The excavation of cultural relics itself has already broken his original balance.

In order to avoid the rapid oxidation of cultural relics after the balance is broken, it is necessary to immediately change it to a place similar to the original environment for preservation, so as to delay the secondary damage of cultural relics to the greatest extent.

Cultural relics should not be allowed to be damaged in the short transition between dry and wet in the middle.

This is all the experience learned from the bloody lessons of countless archaeological pioneers in the past!

When the bed is extracted, the small world under the bed is revealed.

However, something that made Kong Jianwen and Chen Han even more puzzled appeared.

Under the bed, there is no figure!
