On September 25, 1995, the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, it is advisable to: sacrifice, prayer, bathing, building and breaking ground, shepherding, accepting livestock, breaking ground, burial, asking for heirs, getting married, and asking for names.

Today is a very important day in Damiwei, a total of more than 7,000 people in the two villages of Miwei, East and West Tinghe, with men, women and children to worship their ancestors at sunrise.

Under the leadership of the patriarch, the whole village will carry pigs, cows, sheep and other three animals at 9:00 this morning to open the coffin opening ceremony of the tomb of the Nanyue King of the Western Han Dynasty.

Old Man Guan and Old Man Zhang were in front, leading the clansmen to set up an offering table and incense table at the entrance of the excavation site of the king's tomb road.

At this time, the mound of sealed soil of the royal tomb has already been hollowed out, and the surrounding area is blocked by a tall wall, because the national archaeological team has already reported the level of the excavation, Lingnan Province is also very pleased and attaches great importance to it, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the excavation work, the province sent an armed police to stand guard 24 hours a day.

At this time, before dawn, the armed police soldiers on duty were very surprised to see the black crowd standing at the entrance of the excavation site in an orderly manner, and hurriedly reported to the superior leaders for verification, and soon fed back the information that the normal ritual activities of sacrificing ancestors had been reported to the city by the village.

I saw thousands of people standing quietly and waiting, waiting for the white belly of the fish to appear in the east, and said: "The auspicious time has come, salute!" ”

"Three animals!" I saw a group of four people, carrying up all the pigs, all the sheep, and all the cattle, and the offering table was filled at once.

"Offering incense!" Old man Guan and old man Zhang were in front, no one held a bouquet of lit sandalwood in their hands and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner, and the elders in the village behind also made incense at one time, and Guan Hao, as the grandson of the long house, naturally had to incense his ancestors.

"Prostrate!"

Under the leadership of the patriarch, the group practiced the "three bows and nine kowtows" ceremony.

After kowtowing, everyone got up.

"Rite over!" Shoot! ”

At this time, 10,000 firecrackers rang out. At this time, the sun is about to rise.

The sacrifice ends before sunrise.

After sunrise, the two royal tombs will reveal to the world her history and story from thousands of years ago.

The thousand-year-old historical mission of the East and West Pavilion will continue in another form.

With a hint of reluctance, the two old men looked at the two ancestral tombs in front of them with fascination.

"Let's all go back, the government is guarding us, it's safer than anyone else, we should rest assured!" After speaking, Old Man Guan and his old man Zhang strode forward and left without looking back.

Guan Hao followed the footsteps of the two old men, and left resolutely and resolutely, and the other villagers also followed the old patriarch.

In fact, this scene has long been filmed by the live broadcast car of the national TV station on the side, and the entire process of the sacrifice has been edited and will be broadcast to people all over the country and even the world before the live broadcast.

What is the culture of a people? Is it inheritance, what is inherited? Inherit good traditions.

What is the culture of a people? Is it innovation, innovation what? Innovate the advanced ideas that keep up with the context of the times.

Rice guards the things left by the ancestors for thousands of years, and even uses the lives of generations of ancestors to continue the mission of this family, in feudal society, with the power of a family to fight against all pretenders, even if the strength is weak, this is the old rice around the family belief.

Now Da Mi Wai has handed over the things left by the ancestors to the government that serves the people, and let the new government help Da Mi Wei complete the historical mission of the family, and Da Mi Wei will be a new identity in front of the things left by the ancestors to protect them, in fact, this is not a kind of faith?

It was 8:30 a.m., and it was already more than an hour before the end of the festival.

The national television station has begun to broadcast live, before the live broadcast, broadcast a clip of the edited rice wai sacrifice activities, once it was broadcast, it has aroused the praise and heated discussions of the national audience, and the little-known ancient village of rice in Lingnan has attracted the attention of the whole country.

Today, when reform and development have entered a deep stage, under the idea of taking economic construction as the center, how precious it is that there can still be such a village that guards the tradition and inherits the tradition!

At this time, an old man with eyes was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Building 1, No. 28 Hequn Road, Suicheng, Lingnan Province, staring intently at the TV, and the picture of the TV was officially the shocking picture of the rice sacrifice this morning captured by the national television live broadcast car.

Today is the weekend, and the old man rarely rests to watch TV, and sees the picture of the sacrifice, which makes the old man moved.

"Hua Zhi, you immediately find out about the situation of this rice circumference." The old man said to the secretary on the side.

The time just arrived at 9:00, and the first program of the national television station began to broadcast live on the tomb of the Nanyue King of the Western Han Dynasty in the Nanyue District of Suicheng, Lingnan Province.

Because this excavation work is different from the previous archaeological excavation work, this time it is the simultaneous excavation of two adjacent royal tombs, and it is the only time that the dust has been sealed for thousands of years at the same time, which is absolutely the only time in the entire C country, and it is also a place known as the "cultural desert" in Lingnan.

In order to better show the excavation work of the two tombs, the national television station will broadcast live to the audience across the country for the first time in the form of simultaneous live broadcast on the ground and in the air, and for this reason, it also specially asked the Suicheng garrison for help, and the garrison attached great importance to and cooperated, and specially sent a military helicopter and two groups of crew to implement two shifts to cooperate with the live broadcast.

Because the two tombs of the Nanyue kings of the Western Han Dynasty in Damiwei have applied to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and Lingnan Province to build a museum on the original site, and have been approved by the relevant authorities.

After a comprehensive exploration in the early stage, the two tombs of Damiwei are all made of stone coupon arch structure, and the whole mausoleum is extremely strong, and can even resist high-intensity earthquakes.

The excavation work of all the entire royal tombs is to take the overall excavation commonly known as "uncovering the lid", such a workflow is to first remove the vegetation on the sealed soil, and then remove the sealed soil, exposing the underground palace of the entire royal tomb, and then uncover the underground palace of the arch structure, exposing this tomb, and then excavate one by one according to the function of each tomb.

The main content of this live broadcast is to open the coffin of the owner of the mausoleum, which is also the most attractive place, and of course, the most anticipated and test place for archaeology.

From the perspective of helicopter aerial photography, the sealing soil of the entire No. 1 mausoleum is hemispherical, according to the data measured on the spot, about 30 meters high and more than 90 meters in diameter.

After the early stage of construction, has been used with small machinery 24 hours to dig out the thick 15 meters of sealed mound, now has exposed the bluestone coupon arch, at this time the mausoleum has been transferred around 3 cranes, the staff is carefully preparing to hoist the bluestone of the coupon arch, through the helicopter aerial photography, the audience can clearly see in the TV that there is a round hole in the middle of the north of the bluestone coupon arch, obviously this is the tomb robber to open the hole.

Seeing the scene of the theft, all the viewers in front of the TV were disappointed.

Fortunately, there is a scene host to explain, after experts have been inferring that this robbery hole has a history of hundreds of years, and the damage to the mausoleum is very limited, and this archaeological excavation will rewrite the new history of Lingnan archaeology.

With the guidance of the tomb robbers, the work of removing the lid is actually relatively simple, without destroying the structure of the real tomb, the hoisting work first starts with the bluestone with the robbery hole.

The crane slowly began to lift the bluestone with the robbery hole, and everyone's hearts felt that they were hoisted to their throats, and even the abbot who was commenting on the side held his breath, only to see the crane slowly hoisting the bluestone with the robbery hole.

The tomb, which had been sealed for thousands of years, has finally unveiled a corner of her mystery with the help of modern machinery.

In order to prevent the entire vault from collapsing, the staff risked their lives by using a cable to drop a young archaeologist into an open "skylight".

Whether the No. 1 royal tomb of the Western Han Dynasty was completely stolen and excavated can only be revealed after archaeologists go down to the tomb to find out.
