The main coffin of the tomb owner is divided into two coffins, and the inner coffin is very well preserved, but because the inner coffin is not opened, it is still unknown what is in the specific inner coffin.

Everyone's attention was more focused on a space on the south side of the inner coffin.

According to the funeral custom of "death is like life" in the Western Han Dynasty, most of the coffins are the favorite items of the tomb owner.

This is fully reflected in the small space on the south side of the inner coffin.

Here, archaeologists have found a large number of horseshoe gold, lintoe gold, gold plates, jade, and exquisite lacquer boxes, which can be called "full of gold and jade"!

Among them, even the lacquer box is not simply made of lacquered wood, and is usually pasted with gold or silver.

It can be seen how extravagant the life of the tomb owner was during his lifetime.

Judging from Kong Jianwen's speculation and the painting on the inner coffin, the tomb owner should be facing south with his head facing south, that is, facing the road, and his feet facing north.

In the space on the south side between the inner and outer coffins, a large number of gold and jade objects are placed on the west side, and on the east side, which is the position of the tomb owner's "head", is a lacquer box about 50 cm long and 20 cm wide.

What's even more amazing is that the box is pasted with gold foil with all kinds of exquisite patterns. Figures, birds and beasts and other things are lifelike.

Even the laughing eyes and ears are very vividly depicted.

"Oh, what a baby!"

Professor Li carefully tried to peel the box out of the coffin, and said: "This rectangular lacquer box is lacquered inside and out, with silver edges and gold ornaments. ”

"The ornaments are very beautiful, with figures of people, hunting and animals."

"During the excavation of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, we have also found many times gilded figures and lacquer ornaments with animal patterns, but this artifact is the most complete!"

Kong Jianwen nodded: "Yes." ”

"From the location of this box, it can be guessed that the inside of the box is the most precious and favorite thing of the tomb owner, and it is also the thing he values the most, so it is placed in front of the inner coffin."

"I speculate that it is very likely that the box contains the clothes worn by the tomb owner during his lifetime, and it was his favorite clothes."

Kong Jianwen: This is not a blind guess.

If you want to talk about high-standard Han tombs, it is not that they have not been excavated.

Taking the tomb of Mrs. Xin Chai as an example, a large number of silk fabrics were found in her main coffin, that is, the clothes in front of her.

Of course, because Mrs. Xin Chai is a woman, it may not be regarded as a convention.

However, most of the tombs of the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty, when they were unearthed, there must be a lot of silk fabrics in the main coffin, but the number is a matter of quantity.

And the number of this does not depend on the gender of the tomb owner, but depends on the status of the tomb owner, the higher the status of the person, the more silk fabrics in the coffin.

After all, in the Western Han Dynasty, silk was something that only nobles could enjoy, such as the famous Shu brocade, which was loved by high-ranking nobles such as liehous.

And it's not just women who wear clothes.

"There is the beauty of uniforms, and there is the beauty of etiquette, so it is called summer."

The ancestors of China have always paid great attention to dressing up!

This lacquer box specially placed on the head of the main coffin, will there be the favorite costume of the tomb owner during his lifetime?

Will there be high-end silk fabrics that everyone is looking forward to?

Even, will this silk fabric be very well preserved?

Everyone's heart is full of anticipation.

The action of cleaning up this lacquer box has also been sped up a lot.

......

On the other side, when a group of old and serious experts were busy around the lacquer box, Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng, and Lin Ya didn't look at the lacquer box at all.

To be honest, they have seen too much of the lacquer box during this time.

Even if it's a lacquered box with gold, that's it.

Especially since this lacquer box hasn't been opened yet, I don't know what is inside.

These young people who can't bear their temperament naturally don't pay much attention.

What they are more concerned about is a large piece of gold in front of them!

There is such a thing as gold, but it is called "cute"!

Since the beginning of the tribal era, gold has been regarded as a precious thing and a symbol of "wealth" by humans all over the world.

Westerners always like to describe the dragon as a greedy monster who likes gold and shiny gold and silver treasures.

"The Ancient God Emperor"

But in fact, human beings are the species that loves gold and silver treasures the most!

Even if everyone knows that the gold in front of them has nothing to do with them, and none of them belong to them.

But Chen Han and the others still couldn't help but keep looking, and even started to buckle the gold.

No way, it's really too much!

Just as you can see, at the top layer, there are two boxes of gold, and it is estimated that there are at least dozens of gold cakes, each of which is the size of the standard, that is, the weight of one pound of the Han system!

And that's just the golden pie!

In addition to the gold cake, you can also see the figure of horseshoe gold, lintoe gold, and gold plate!

A large number of horseshoe gold, lintoe gold and gold cakes were found in such a complete way, which is not only the first time in the archaeological history of Jiangxi Han tombs, but also rare in the country!

Chen Han stood next to the coffin and couldn't help but sigh: "With such a well-preserved and concentrated number of horseshoe gold, lintoe gold and gold cakes, it can be called "the most archaeological of China's Han tombs"!

The gold found in the outer coffin room before, after the cultural preservation experts with a small brush dipped in water, carefully cleaned and protected the horseshoe gold and lintoe gold, carefully counted, there are 10 rare lintoe gold, 5 large horseshoe gold, and 10 small horseshoe gold in the lacquer box.

And the two boxes of gold cakes in the big head have a total of 187!

The washed horseshoe gold, you can clearly see that the bottom is engraved with a "Shang" word, hollow, and there are wheat ears and other ornaments on it, which are cast and then processed for the second time, and the four hooks like claws inside may be used to inlay jade and other decorations.

There is also a "Shang" character at the bottom of the Lintoe gold, and there is also a small gold bead decoration at the top, both of which are very exquisite.

This also just verifies that the history books record that gold is "coined" in the Western Han Dynasty.

However, these horseshoe gold and lintoe gold are not circulating currency, but are actually a special gift from the emperor.

In the Book of Han, there is a detailed record of this batch of horseshoe gold and lintoe gold.

According to the record of "Hanshu Wudi Ji": "In March of the second year of Tairu (95 B.C.), the edict said: 'There is a discussion that the former will see God in the suburbs, go west to Longshou, and get Bailin to feed the temple, hold the water out of the heavenly horse, Mount Tai to see gold, it is appropriate to change the name. Today, more gold for the toe, the hooves, to the auspicious Ruiyan. ”

In other words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty claimed to have been instructed by heaven.

It is said that when he went to worship the heavens, he captured the white lin, and the heavenly horses, white lins, and heavenly horses appeared at the water's edge, which were rare and auspicious, so he decreed that a batch of gold should be minted.

This batch of horseshoe gold and lintoe gold was made by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "Xiexiangrui", which was mainly used to reward those ministers who were loyal to the royal family and had military merits, and they were scarce.

Therefore, the princes and nobles took the possession of horseshoe gold and lintoe gold as a symbol of pride and status.

Obviously, the batch of horseshoe gold and lintoe gold owned by the Marquis of Haiyang should have been inherited from his father, the king of Changyi in the previous generation.

After all, his father was the son of Emperor Wu of Han, and this gold should have been rewarded to him by Emperor Wu of Han.
