Chapter 64: Gold Foil Mask
After Zhang Yuanyuan received a sudden business trip, he was immediately called over for a meeting by the publicity.
Changing venues for live broadcast is easy to say, but it affects the whole body, this is the most important endorsement in Yan Fuguang's hands at present, and there must be no mistakes.
Packing up and booking a hotel, on Friday afternoon, the two of them took a light car and boarded a plane to Sichuan Province.
The site is located in a prefecture-level city under Sichuan Province, fortunately, there is an airport in the local area, and flights can be direct.
The excavation process of the Eastern Wei Dynasty site is very long and the geographical span is very extensive, and the local government built an Eastern Wei History Museum near the original excavation site a few years ago to display the cultural relics unearthed in recent years.
Yan Fuguang's destination is there.
YJ City is particularly quiet at night, and the misty light rain adds a bit of coolness to the summer nights in September.
"Shall we go straight to the hotel?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked as he walked with his suitcase.
Yan Fuguang nodded.
When she came here, she inevitably felt some feelings in her heart.
This was once the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, thousands of years have passed, and now there is no trace of the past.
There is a large standing sign at the entrance of the airport expressway to promote the only national museum in YJ City, the Eastern Wei History Museum.
Zhang Yuanyuan pointed to the standing sign and asked, "Is that the place we are going?" ”
Yan Fuguang, who had been looking out the window, nodded when he heard this.
"I remember that the ruins of the Eastern Wei Dynasty have been excavated for many years, and I have seen relevant reports since I was in school, and there are very few records about the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the history books before, and even the existence of the empress cannot be completely determined."
Knowing that he was coming, Zhang Yuanyuan had also done his homework.
The age of the existence of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is at least 3,000 years ago, due to the lack of historical materials, there has been no conclusion about that period of history, so the relics of the Eastern Wei Dynasty found in Yangjiang have caused a great sensation in the whole country and even the world.
There is a hotel next to the museum, and Zhang Yuanyuan grabbed the last suite.
The two checked in in a low-key manner without attracting anyone's attention.
"Whew, yes, I thought the hotel environment in a small place was not good, but I didn't expect it to be good here."
After entering the door, Zhang Yuanyuan routinely inspected the house and was quite satisfied.
Yan Fuguang casually picked up the brochure on the coffee table and flipped through it, before he said: "It was originally a theme hotel supporting the museum, so it naturally has to be done." ”
YJ City has become a popular tourist attraction in China because of the Eastern Wei Dynasty ruins, especially the recent news of the Mausoleum of the Empress, otherwise the room on ordinary weekends would not be so difficult to determine.
Looking out of the window of the room, you can see the outline of the museum not far away, the design of the exhibition hall refers to the first batch of unearthed national treasure-level cultural relics, and there is indeed a bit of the charm of the Eastern Wei Dynasty under the cover of night.
The next day
Because Zhang Yuanyuan wanted to stay and arrange the equipment for the live broadcast at night, Yan Fuguang went out alone.
Perhaps because the news of the Empress's Mausoleum was made public, even if it was just a weekend, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit.
When Yan Fuguang checked the ticket and entered, he also heard some people talking, saying that it was a pity that he could not see the excavation site, and he did not know when he would be lucky enough to take a look at the cultural relics of the emperor's tomb.
Being in a museum and listening to people discuss their mausoleums is the first time Yan Fuguang has experienced it, and there is a sense of absurd joy.
The designers of the museum have put a lot of thought into constructing a super-long "time and space channel", guiding visitors to gradually immerse themselves in the relics of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and experience the grass, tree, city and pond of the Eastern Wei Dynasty through thousands of years.
For Yan Fuguang, most of the memories left to her by the Eastern Wei Dynasty are accompanied by heaviness and desolation.
At that time, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was embattled, the king of Wei drove his own expedition but died in the field, the queen lingered on the sickbed all the year round, and there was only one adult princess in the royal court, whose name was Fuguang.
At that time, she had just gone to that war-torn era, and although she was the only princess of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, her life had nothing to do with pleasure.
Embattled and surrounded by strong enemies, if the country is destroyed and the species is wiped out, Yan Fuguang knows very well what awaits him.
I don't know how much effort she put into gathering her subordinates, how many new and old injuries she added to the army with her own army, from sixteen to twenty-six years old, from the princess of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the legendary empress, she is worthy of herself and the people of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
The black piece of wood behind the glass display case, which visitors can only learn about through a brief introduction, is a 3,000-year-old lacquerware, which was a rare treasure at the time.
The rusty clusters of arrows are wrapped in sand and dirt, buried with the edge of the past, and the shafts and tail feathers have long since decayed in the river of time, and there is no trace of them.
There are also wall tiles, as well as roof tiles, all of which carry that unknown time.
Walking through the outer hall of the exhibition hall, the overall style of the central area is noticeably thicker.
As soon as he entered the door, Yan Fuguang saw a familiar golden disc.
The exaggerated ornamentation, the flamboyant shape, under the light, the bright color is the same as it was back then.
This is the sacred object used in the sacrifice, the red crow, which was used by the high priest to pray for the blessing of the hosts before the last expedition.
In fact, Yan Fuguang does not believe in ethereal gods, but the stormy Eastern Wei Dynasty needs such spiritual sustenance.
Looking at the Chiwu who was close at hand, she was in a trance back to the huge festival, and the ritual music intertwined with the bronze drums and stone chimes was still reminiscent of it in her ears.
At this moment, Yan Fuguang really felt the power of time, and the three thousand years of time passed through her body, which seemed particularly real at this moment.
There is a huge screen on the wall next to Chiwu, showing its excavation and the introduction of experts and scholars.
Due to the lack of written records, people can only speculate about the approximate purpose of the disc, so the name Chiwu is unknown.
Today, everyone can only call it a golden disc, and if the red crow really has a spirit, I don't know if it will be angry.
In addition to Chiwu, the main museum also exhibits six other major collections, all of which are national first-class cultural relics unearthed from the Eastern Wei ruins in recent years.
There are several things that Yan Fuguang has never seen, after all, the intersection between her and the Eastern Wei Dynasty is only ten years.
But there is one thing, Yan Fuguang didn't expect to see it here again.
It was half a gold leaf mask engraved with the sun god bird, as thin as a cicada's wings, and beautiful.
Unlike the rest of the exaggerated gold objects, the proportions of this mask are indistinguishable from those of a real person.
It seems to be telling the world that it once had a real owner, not just to worship imaginary gods.
Although the mask is mutilated, it has attracted far more attention than anything else since it was unearthed.
No one knows why in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, where gold products were almost entirely used for sacrifices, a gold leaf mask based on real faces appeared.
Moreover, the thickness of the mask is only 0.02 cm, it is difficult to imagine how the ancients thousands of years ago could have achieved such an extreme, and it must have been a national treasure in the Eastern Wei Dynasty at that time.
