Chapter 271: Liu He's private seal
The quality of this jade is still good."
"It's much better than I thought!"
Kong Jianwen and Director Wen lay next to the coffin, leaning forward to look at the situation inside.
After opening the rice paper, the first thing you see is seven or eight pieces of jade arranged from top to bottom.
This is the classic Western Han jade burial practice.
On the top of the tomb owner's head, chest, waist and abdomen, and lower genitals, a total of seven jade pieces were placed.
Among them, several pieces of jade have been dyed black, probably after the paint inside the coffin has faded from the rain.
It's a pity that after so many years, these jade bibs have more or less cracked and are no longer restored to their complete appearance.
However, the jade quality of the jade is very good, even after so many years, it still exudes a green feeling.
Obviously, these jade bi are also green jade, not Hetian jade.
In fact, in the tombs of the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty, the appearance of Hetian jade is a rare situation.
In most cases, topaz and green jade are the main ones.
These two kinds of jade are also the earliest jade used by the Chinese ancestors.
From the Neolithic Age, and even earlier in the Paleolithic Age, there are many ritual vessels, ornaments, and even practical utensils made of topaz and green jade.
Among them, the best jade, the most warm and clear green jade and topaz, is the best jade, generally only the noblest people can use it.
Like the jade seal that Mr. Sui held in his mouth at that time, engraved with the word "Sui", it was a relatively ordinary topaz, and after more than 2,000 years, the jade has been grayish-white, and it does not look like a piece of jade at all, but like a piece of pink stone.
And the jade used by the Marquis of Haiyang is of course not the kind of inferior jade, the jade quality of these jade bi looks even better than the jade in the tomb of the king of Nanyue!
It can only be said that Liu He, the Marquis of Haidu, is really rich...
"There's a big one here, and there's a small one here."
"There are four other ones in the middle, all of them are different jades."
"There's still a piece underneath, there's a bulge here, looking at the low outline, it should also be a piece of jade."
Chen Han and several other archaeologists also gathered around, counting how many pieces of jade they could see.
Several other archaeologists who specialize in recording are holding cameras and constantly taking pictures for archiving.
Just when everyone was shouting and studying the number and style of these jade bibs, the sharp-eyed Chen Han noticed that at the position of the waist and abdomen of the tomb owner, next to a large jade bib, there seemed to be a small seal that had been overturned.
"Little seal, this is a small seal!"
Chen Han immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the seal that had fallen diagonally.
Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it.
Between a seal about the size of a thumb, the position of the seal button has sunk in the decay, only half of the stamp, obliquely exposed.
"Look this way! There are words!"
Chen Han lay on the exposed side of the seal, glanced at the seal a few times, and only saw a few lines of engraving.
Although I can't see what the words are, I can be sure that there must be lettering, not no word print!
"There are words, it's square!"
"And the texture should be jade!"
The jade seal, square, is again in the position of the tomb owner's waist.
This is obviously a very important seal for the owner of the tomb, so it will be hung on the waist after death.
Most likely, it is a public seal engraved with the name and "official position" of the tomb owner, and it is an important item that can prove his identity underground after the tomb owner's death!
The archaeologists with SLR cameras hurriedly came over to squeeze Chen Han away, and the camera was aimed at the place where the printing surface was obliquely exposed, and Kacha took a photo.
The photos taken by the camera are much clearer than the human eye, and they can be magnified and magnified again.
Everyone immediately gathered in front of the camera again to see the situation of the printing surface.
Although less than half of the printed surface was actually exposed, Professor Li still said firmly after distinguishing it: "Liu, it's the Liu character of Xiao Seal!"
Chen Han also nodded affirmatively: "It looks like Liu Zi."
The character "Liu" exposed on the printing surface occupies almost half of the printing surface.
In other words, the other half can only be one word!
This is not a public seal, but a private seal with two characters.
But this private seal is just as important!
The surname is Liu, and there are only two words.
This is obviously very close to the truth.
The owner of the tomb is Liu He's answer, which is basically a certainty.
didn't care about it so much, Kong Jianwen simply started directly, and carefully put half of his body in the coffin The jade seal was swayed from side to side, and then gently pulled it up.
Fortunately, jade is actually very strong, it is not so easy to break, and it will not become soft because of time.
This jade seal was pulled out without much risk.
Professor Li and Chen Han immediately gathered around to take a look.
Sure enough, the other half of the printed surface is a "congratulatory" character!
The owner of the tomb is really Liu He!
Since the beginning of the excavation, the cultural relics that have been dug up one after another have continuously pointed to the identity of the owner of the tomb is Liu He himself.
But it is the lack of this most core, the most direct evidence!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the inner coffin of the tomb owner was opened, such a private seal engraved with the name of the tomb owner could be found on the surface of the inner coffin!
In this way, from the discovery of the tomb to the present, the total speculation and disputes about the owner of the tomb have finally settled the dust.
All previous speculations have been confirmed through this private seal.
In fact, the speculation that the owner of the tomb is the Marquis of Haidun has never stopped.
While Chen Han and the others were excavating the main burial chamber, the other brother departments were also cleaning up the back room.
Among them, there is a back room, which is a library of musical instruments.
In the instrument library, many bronze instruments from the Han Dynasty were found, the most important of which was the chimes placed against the wall on three sides!
According to the ritual system in the "Zhou Li", "four walls are the emperor, and three walls are the king".
What do you mean?
That is, only the emperor can enjoy the hanging music composed of four shelves, and the king can only use three rows of hanging music.
Let's take an analogy.
The princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, which were excavated before, were usually placed against a wall in their tombs, and the chimes in the musical instrument library.
Because they weren't kings or emperors, it was impossible to have a multi-faceted instrument stand.
In the tomb of Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, a series of bronze musical instruments are placed against the walls of the south, north and west walls in his instrument library.
Except for the east side of the entrance, there are no musical instruments.
This shows that in this regard, Zhao Hu did not violate the courtesy.
And the musical instrument library in the tomb of the Marquis of Hailun has three hanging music!
This is obviously not in line with the rank of "prince", and must be enjoyed by princes and kings.
Then, in the Nanchang realm, in addition to being the king of Changyi and even the emperor Liu He, who else dares to use three hanging music?
Now that it is confirmed, it is indeed only Liu Hedare.
