Chapter 299: Chenhai Dusk Marquis He Yu Death and Worship!
Following Zhuang Yunpeng, Chen Han walked quickly and came to the Jian Mu Research Room of the archaeological base.
As soon as he entered, all he saw were human heads.
Well, as long as it's a resting archaeologist, all of them have come here.
The news that some of the bamboo slips were restored by the Bamboo Slip Laboratory has long been spread throughout the archaeological base.
For an archaeological project.
The most important thing was never the bronze or lacquerware.
The most important discovery will always be the text!
The reason why it is a national treasure is not because it is a beautiful bronze object, but because of the inscription "Battle of Makino" recorded on the Liga!
For any civilization, the inheritance of writing is always the most important thing.
Because text, as the only carrier of information, can leave all the information of that era to the greatest extent!
For the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, whether it is the gold or the various treasures in the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding.
The most important thing is always the cultural relics with words!
Whether it is the "Liu He" seal or the dressing mirror engraved with the famous words of Confucius, they are the most important cultural relics.
The more than 5,000 bamboo slips and wooden slips found in the library are the most important of them.
When he came over, Chen Han had already understood.
Most of the bamboo slips in the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang are of the same specification, that is, 32 characters can be recorded on a bamboo slip.
There are more than 5,000 bamboo slips, all of which add up to more than 100,000 words!
Although these bamboo slips are not preserved because of their poor preservation.
But there must still be tens of thousands of words left!
Tens of thousands of words!
In the era from the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty, one or two hundred words was already an article, and thousands of words were already a book!
Tens of thousands of words, at least hundreds of books!
In fact, there are so many.
When he arrived at Jian's laboratory, Chen Han heard the hoarse shouts of several researchers.
"Don't crowd it, the bamboo slips that have been cleaned up so far have about dozens of volumes, and there are currently two braided ropes and more than three writing fonts!"
"The content is very rich, and those who know the big seal, the small seal and the official script, you can come and study it first, and the others don't worry, let go of the way!"
Although, Liu He lived in the Western Han Dynasty, when the official book was already in use throughout the country.
However, his collection contains three fonts.
This is normal.
There are many books that have been preserved since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
After all, bamboo slips are very durable, and if they are not placed underground, but if they are studied and used regularly, they will not break for hundreds of years.
In Liu He's collection, many of them are classics from the Warring States period.
Including the "Analects of Qi", which is also a classic left during the Warring States period, it was written in the Great Seal script of the State of Qi.
The cultural people who lived in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty not only had to master the official script and the small seal, but also needed to master the big seal.
Even, many high-level scholars in the Western Han Dynasty were harmed by the Zhou Yayu of Xuezong.
It was an era when the Zhou Dynasty had fallen, but the culture of the Zhou Dynasty was still being passed on intermittently.
If you don't know how to make a big seal, you can't mix it up at all.
Even a lot of books can't be understood.
Fortunately, Chen Han knows the big seal and the small seal.
After hearing the researcher's statement, he hurriedly raised his hands and signaled that he understood!
Everyone is a civilized person, and of course it will not be as messy as rushing to buy in the vegetable market.
Soon, other archaeologists made way for Chen Han.
He walked smoothly to a piece of Jane that had been divided and packed by plexiglass.
"These are the simple slips that have been restored?"
With excitement, Chen Han carefully picked up one of the wooden slabs.
A large number of slips have been unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, and more than 5,200 slips have been found in the document archive of the main coffin alone.
These bamboo slips are placed in three lacquer sticks, the smallest of which is more than 200 pieces in a group, and the largest is more than 4,000 pieces in three groups.
The batch in front of Chen Han's eyes is the smallest wooden slab in the lacquer.
The piece in his hand is a piece of paper, not Jane.
Jane is bamboo slips, and bamboo slips are wooden slips.
The width of Jane is different from that of Mu. Bamboo slips are generally narrower and can only write one or two lines of words. The wooden slip is wider and can write a few lines or even a dozen lines, and can be written on both sides.
In many cases, a wooden sheet will describe a complete event or transcribe a complete text.
Therefore, there is generally no need to connect multiple pieces of wooden rafts, and you can read them page by page.
The wooden rafts in the tomb of the Marquis of Hailun are all placed separately in a lacquer flute.
To his surprise, this piece of wood is not written in a large seal, but on the contrary, it is written in a very understandable and not much different from modern Chinese characters.
This piece of wood is about 23 centimeters long, which is one foot of the Han Dynasty; The width is about 6.6 cm, which is 3~4 inches of the Han Dynasty.
"The Marquis of the Southern Domain, the Marquis of the Southern Domain, congratulates the death of the Emperor and then worships the ......."
"The minister will die and then worship the courtiers......
"The servants and ministers are reluctant to live and serve the book...... Say goodbye to autumn!"
After reading two bamboo slips in a row, Chen Han understood the content.
This is a "Concert Invitation Wooden Slip" by the Marquis of Haidu!
The song is a wooden scroll with a chapter written!
"It's a recital! This should be the earliest existing high-level official document of the Han Dynasty in China!" Chen Han immediately became excited.
The recital written to the emperor has never been unearthed so early before!
In other words, there are very few unearthed such things, at least there are very few songs between them and the emperor.
In the Western Han Dynasty, when courtiers played to the emperor, they usually wrote them on wooden sheets.
Then, after the emperor received the wooden slip, he gave a reply in the blank space on it or behind his back, and then sent it back to the minister.
This is also the reason why these recitals written by the Marquis of Haiyang to the emperor appear in the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding.
It's so rare!
And very informative!
His Majesty the Emperor of □ is a minister, and he is a servant of the courtiers, and he is a servant of the courtiers, and he is a servant...... Four years"
"Jubong...... Goodbye to death...... Hou Ma", "October of the third year of Yuanyasu...... "Doctor of the February Gate of the fourth year of Yuanyasu"
"Greetings to His Majesty the Lord......
"Houf...... Dowager...... Serve...... Her Majesty the Queen Mother accompanied her courtiers...... Her Majesty the Queen Mother......"
"The concubine of the Marquis of Haidun is waiting to die...... Her Majesty the Queen Mother......"
Chen Han looked at many pieces of wood in a row, and he knew it in his heart.
Most of these wooden slips were made by Liu He and his wife to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and the Empress Dowager respectively.
And the content of the twist and turn is that the couple wants to "autumn please"!
What is "Autumn Invitation"?
This is the autumn courtesy of the princes to meet the emperor, referred to as "autumn invitation".
Corresponding to this is the spring pilgrimage ceremony, which is called "Spring Dynasty".
"Spring Dynasty" and "Autumn Invitation" clearly reveal the names of monarchs and ministers.
According to "Zhengyun", "The Han system, the spring is called the dynasty, and the autumn is called please, such as the dowry of the ancient princes."
Qing Duan Yuju's "Commentary on the Text" said, "Zhou Li, Spring Dynasty and Autumn Hajj. Han, change to spring and autumn please".
The princes and princes of the Western Han Dynasty often came to Chang'an to meet the emperor regularly, which was a deterrent to centralized power.
Some princes and kings invite once every three years, and the princes usually invite once a year.
It's just that, looking at the content of the Marquis of Haidu, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty seems to have avoided the Marquis of Haidu.
Liu He died only three or four years after he became the Marquis of Haidu, but there were more than a dozen copies of his request for a court meeting!
Such frequent applications are obviously because Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not
He was allowed to come to Chang'an for an audience, and even deprived him of his right to perform Hajj as a prince.
This is recorded in the history books.
The edict of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to the Marquis of Haiyang under the biography of the Book of Han said: "Gai Wenxiang is guilty, Shun seals it, and the relatives of flesh and blood are not different. His former Changyi Wang He is the Marquis of Haidu, and there are 4,000 households in the city."
On the day of the marquis, Liu He was not qualified to enter the court.
At that time, there was a guard lieutenant Jin Anshang who played a copy to him, saying that Liu He was abandoned by heaven and was a "stubborn and unruly person, and he was not suitable for the appointment of the Zongmiao court".
However, being deprived of the qualification to petition for the court, which was an extremely heavy punishment in the Han Dynasty, was tantamount to cutting the position of the people.
"Spring Dynasty Autumn Invitation" is a kind of political treatment, for Liu He, from the time he got the seal of the sea dusk, this door has been tightly closed, Liu He has no chance to go again, so he wrote to the emperor and asked for the "Autumn Invitation" ceremony.
And these words reveal a very important information, allowing us to further understand Liu He's state of mind when he arrived in the country of Haidu, he is really unwilling.
It also proves that the history books say that the Marquis of Haiyang was deprived of the qualification to enter the dynasty is correct!
The rigor of the Chinese historical record has been proven once again!
