Remove the sludge and be careful.

Not only the dzi, but gradually, many exquisite small utensils have revealed their true faces.

Covered with gold, with a unique shape, stacked with the waist ornament, it should also be a pendant hanging around the waist.

Dzi and agate are perforated up and down, connected together, and should have been an ornament hanging from the waist with a jingling sound.

玉觽 (xi), made of the finest Hetian white jade, is an object used to unbuckle.

This is a kind of slightly curved cone-shaped vessel, which was first seen in the Neolithic period in the Liangzhu culture, popular in the Shang Dynasty, after the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the two Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and then gradually died out.

Originally, it was a tool that was carried around and used to untie knots.

Early Chinese clothing had no buttons and was generally tied with rope.

The Zhou people pay attention to etiquette, in order to avoid the clothes and belts scattering and causing rudeness, they usually tie the rope into a dead knot, and when untying the clothes and tie the knots, they need to use the corner type of knot.

Therefore, it has become a small daily necessities that people carry around their waists.

Later, with the development of society, it was given a certain obscure meaning.

The practical function of jade gradually faded, and it evolved into a kind of jade for wearing decoration, which represents a symbol of adulthood.

It is generally worn by adults or married teenagers with the signature waist ornament, indicating that the wearer has problem-solving skills.

To put it simply, this is a kind of ivory-like object, thick at the top and sharp at the bottom, much like a lancet.

During the Western Han Dynasty, jade was worn around the waist, not more for practical use, but only to symbolize the meaning of adults.

All kinds of ornaments, pendants, and ornaments should be Liu He's love before his death, and they may even be the playthings he often hung around his waist to play with during his lifetime.

Hanging them around their waists and tinkling when they walked, this is actually the "aristocratic" beauty pursued by the nobles of the Han Dynasty.

Only inferior people will not even have a jade pendant on their waists, and they will walk quietly.

Therefore, the servants and servants demanded that they walk as quietly as possible.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, is wide open, and the ornaments on their waists clangle when they walk, and it is best to hear the sound from a long distance.

That means, oh, there's a nobleman coming.

These ornaments on Liu He's waist are indeed exquisite, but they are not very special, as long as they are nobles, they are more or less dressed up with such ornaments.

On the contrary, what is unbelievable is the relatively inconspicuous jade belt hook on Liu He's waist!

Among the three large belt hooks, one of them has a belt hook, which is very special.

The upper part of this belt hook shows the characteristics of jade from the Warring States period, and it can be recognized at a glance as a jade belt hook from the Warring States period.

If it's just an antique, it's fine.

The Western Han people collected antiques from the Warring States period, and this kind of thing is not surprising.

Commoners may not have the heart to do such a thing, but for the aristocracy, collecting antiques is a matter of elegance.

But!

What is strange is that the lower part of this jade belt hook, to be precise, is at the upper end of the section of the hook below, and there is a piece of more than a centimeter in length, which is made of a white and warm agate!

This section of agate looks very much like jade.

At first, he was mistaken by Chen Han and recognized as jade.

Later, after Professor Li made a careful judgment, he determined that this was an agate.

Miraculously, this agate was installed later!

And the hook and hanging button under the agate are really made of Hetian white jade!

Other words.

In fact, this jade belt hook is a combiner!

The upper part is antique, and the carvings and ornaments are full of the style of the Warring States period, and it is obviously a piece of Warring States artifact.

And the lower half was assembled with Hetian jade and agate that Liu He had to recreate later.

Perhaps, this jade belt hook, once because of the turmoil of the Warring States period, was damaged, after several tosses, came to Liu He's hand, Liu He loved this jade belt hook very much, so he gave way

The craftsman repaired it and put it on his waist!

Probably, Liu He, who likes to collect antiques, also has a hobby of transforming antiques!

I like to turn these broken antiques into treasures again!

It's also a graceful thing!

"Hey, there's a word!"

Kong Jianwen, who was looking at this jade belt hook, suddenly found it.

On the button with a hook, two words are engraved.

These two characters are very simple, and there is no font.

It is a "ten" and a "two", these two words have been written in this way from ancient times to the present, but there is no difficulty in recognizing.

But what do these two words mean, and do they read "twelve" or "twenty"?

Kong Jianwen and Chen Han looked at each other, and they were puzzled for a while.

It's too difficult to figure out what these two words mean.

These two characters appear in the half of the Warring States period.

It was engraved later, or during the Warring States period.

What does it mean, is it Liu He's 12th or 20th collection?

Or does it mean something else?

There are so many possibilities and too many uncertainties.

It's simply hard to explain ...

This problem can only be put aside for the time being.

After four days of cleaning, this jade belt hook was already the last item on Liu He's waist.

After cleaning it out, the small objects on Liu He's waist were all extracted and cleaned up.

But Chen Han and the others did not sit idle.

Human physicists, it's already in place.

Several experts specially invited from the Capital Institute of Human Physique.

However, before the experts can extract the teeth, they have to help the experts clear the obstacles.

What obstacles?

Of course, it was the piece of jade that covered Liu He's teeth.

At that time, because the tooth was found, the extraction plan of Liu He's head jade was temporarily canceled.

Now that the experts are in place, it is natural to restart the extraction of jade.

There is nothing difficult about jade extraction, practice makes perfect.

The jade in the inner coffin has been extracted seven or eight pieces, and everyone has seen and extracted it by hand, and they are all experienced.

According to Kong Jianwen's request, Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng quickly extracted the jade covering Liu He's head.

Similarly, this piece of jade was also broken into many fragments because it was in the area where the coffin had collapsed badly.

Otherwise, how could Liu He's teeth be crushed.

After extracting these fragments, Liu He's face, or the condition of his head, was unreservedly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Huh..."

"It's some silk or linen or something like a braid, and it's in good condition!"

I saw that a little above Liu He's head, there were some black fabrics, which were still clearly recognizable after more than 2,000 years of burial.

Well, it looks like instant noodles, and it looks like the horizontal and vertical traces of sweaters hand-knitted by grandmothers.

More like the weaving style of bamboo baskets.

However, there are not many of these remnants of braid, only a small circle.

"What is this?"

The elites of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences all came up curiously.

Chen Han stared at it suspiciously, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and inspiration appeared.

"It's a hat!"
