Broken jade pieces, rectangular metal plaques, jade tubes broken in two, small spear-shaped bronze vessels.

The contents of the bronze box may seem inconspicuous, but it is certain that since they can be solemnly placed in the head box, these small items are anything but unusual!

Otherwise, it would not have been put into a bronze box, buried with the head, and taken to another world.

However, to Chen Han's disappointment, there was no gold seal in the bronze box.

Liu He's Hailun Hou Yin, as well as the Changyi Wang Yin, are still not found.

Changyi Wang Yin is okay to say.

Considering that the king of Changyi of the Marquis of Haiyang has long been deposed, it may be that the seal of the king of Changyi has already been withdrawn, and he should not have reservations in his hands.

But Haiyang Hou Yin, it should definitely be buried by Liu He.

After all, when he died, he was buried as the Marquis of Haidu!

"Send the contents of this bronze box to the restorer for restoration." Kong Jianwen rubbed the root of his nose and said with some disappointment.

He didn't recognize what the jade objects were solemnly packed in bronze boxes.

It took three or four days to extract the bronze box, and what I saw was a fragment of jade, which must be fake if I was not disappointed.

But as a professional archaeologist, you won't have any unusual emotions just because what you find doesn't meet your psychological expectations.

After cleaning up his emotions a little, Kong Jianwen beckoned all the archaeologists to get off work!

......

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Han and his team arrived at the archaeological laboratory again and continued to carry out archaeological cleaning of the coffin board.

In the huge archaeological laboratory, there was silence.

Everyone with bamboo sticks and tweezers and other tools crouched next to the coffin, carefully cleaning up the mud attached to the coffin.

These sludges are also a kind of cultural relics, which must be properly cleaned and preserved.

After all, no one knows what kind of exquisite silk fabric these sludges are when they are in good condition.

After a while, a lacquer box once again attracted everyone's attention.

Like the bronze box extracted earlier, this lacquer box is also deeply embedded in the coffin.

Speaking of lacquer boxes, there are a large number of lacquerware in the burial goods in Liu He's tomb.

The level of craftsmanship of the exquisite lacquerware is jaw-dropping.

Lacquer ear cups, lacquer plates, lacquer painted shields, lacquer cars, all are exquisite, black, red, orange painted lacquer paintings, even after more than 2,000 years, still bright and beautiful.

Among them, the most special is a stack of lacquer plates, from top to bottom, from small to large, stacked layer upon layer, of which the largest lacquer plate below is almost one meter in diameter, and the height of the whole stack of lacquer plates must be more than one meter.

Although it is difficult to separate the lacquer plates stacked on top of each other when they are unearthed, they can only be extracted as a whole, but when they are sent to the archaeological base, they are very simple to separate.

All you need to do is put the whole stack of paint trays in purified water, soak them thoroughly, and then easily separate them one by one.

The lacquer plate that has been separated from each other is exquisitely styled, and the lacquer painting in the center of the plate is also stacked together, so it is rarely oxidized and is very well preserved.

Don't underestimate these lacquerware, it feels like it's made of wood, so it's cheap.

In fact, according to the documents of the Han Dynasty, the price of a lacquer cup is equivalent to ten copper cups and a lacquer screen, which needs to go through the work of 10,000 people to create.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the value of lacquerware was much more expensive than that of bronze!

Many of these lacquered wood vessels are written down.

Among them, there are some written records on lacquer plates, all of which are accurate to the smallest unit of measurement of the container, 龠 (yue).

In the Han Dynasty, the units of measurement of containers were 龠 (yue), he (ge), liter, bucket, and hu.

1 millet = 1200 grains of millet millet of moderate size.

From this, it can be seen that the production of lacquered wood is based on the "龠" as the charging unit, that is, to make lacquered wood ware that can hold 1 龠, it costs a lot of money.

It is equivalent to making a kettle in modern times, how much can hold one liter of water, and how much can hold two liters of water.

And 1 scorpion, only 1200 grains of black millet can be placed.

Black millet is a type of rhubarb rice, and the size of yellow rice is much smaller than a grain of rice.

In fact, the volume is only a few tens of grams.

It can be seen how expensive lacquered wood is in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is all counted as money in tens of grams and tens of grams of capacity units.

It's about the same as gold...

It is conceivable that there was a lot of consideration for the use of lacquer at that time.

In modern times, one or two glasses of liquor will need to be bought at a high price.

It's a real luxury.

In the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, nearly 3,000 pieces of lacquerware were unearthed, which shows how rich the Marquis of Haihuang is.

However, there is so much gold unearthed, and there is no need to prove the net worth of the Marquis of Haiyang with other cultural relics.

But these exquisite lacquerware are definitely a great treasure for archaeology.

Especially in Nanchang, and even in Jiangxi, there are not many Western Han lacquered woodware excavated in the past.

is still the same sentence, Jiangxi was a remote and barbarian land in the Western Han Dynasty, and there were really no big nobles who could use lacquerware.

Back to the lab.

The lacquer box, which was deeply embedded in the coffin, had been extracted with the efforts of everyone.

The lacquer box is obviously also very likely to be used to put gold seals.

However, this time there is nothing to look forward to.

Because during the extraction process, the lid on the lacquer box has been loosened, revealing a touch of red inside, like a red round bead.

If such a thing is exposed, it is obviously not a lacquer box with a gold seal.

But everyone is still looking forward to it.

This red bead looks like a gemstone, so it's a good thing.

Kong Jianwen, who was wearing gloves, carefully picked up the loose cover.

Sure enough, an agate bead the size of a pigeon's egg, looking like a watermelon-flavored lollipop, appeared in the lacquer box.

"What is this??" Chen Han frowned and exclaimed.

In addition to this agate bead, inside the lacquer box, there are some moist white yellowing gelatins!

This is really the first time we've seen you!

Obviously, two thousand years ago, this thing was certainly not gelatinous, but after more than 2,000 years, it became a gelatinous substance that resembles a "slime" now.

"What's this?"

"Health medicine?"

"Cosmetics?"

"Longevity cream?"

There was a lot of talk.

The most mentioned is "longevity cream".

During the Han Dynasty, one of the favorite things for princes and nobles to do was to take the so-called "longevity pill".

This trend did not become popular until the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that there is only a ball of gelatinous matter and an agate bead left in the lacquer box, and it is impossible to guess what it is with the naked eye.

Although there are different opinions, all kinds of speculation.

But everyone has a certain fact in their hearts.

That is, since this thing is specially placed in a lacquer box and solemnly buried in the inner coffin, it is definitely a very precious thing in the Han Dynasty.

As for what it is, it doesn't matter if the archaeologists can't see it!

On the Dafa of laboratory testing!
