Chapter 157: How can you have no piano?
A harp is far from the whole story of Donger Room.
Almost at the same time, Lin Ya also found a set of stone chimes in the left ear room. Next to the chimes, there were also four copper harps.
This is another harp.
Moreover, the bronze harp of this harp is different from that of Chen Han.
Although they are all gilded, in the shape of a mountain, with cirrus patterns as the base, the middle is a tall and steep peak, and there are 5 small peaks on the outer periphery.
Around the main peak are a lion, a bear, a wild boar, a monkey, squatting or jumping and running, and a tiger emerging from the cave.
In terms of style, they are indeed very beautiful.
But the size of the animal is not as high as the size of the harp that Chen Han discovered.
The one Chen Han found was decorated with two dragons.
By the Western Han Dynasty, the dragon already represented imperial power.
According to the records about the origin of the Han royal family in "Historical Records. The Benji of Gaozu", it is said that the dragon and Liu Yu gave birth to Gaozu, and the Liu family has the blood of dragon.
The Nanyue Kingdom, which had frequent contacts and exchanges with the Central Government of the Western Han Dynasty, could not possibly not know the significance of the dragon in the Western Han Dynasty.
Moreover, the size of the bronze harp found by Lin Ya was not as big as the one found by Chen Han. It was a bit smaller, and it was obviously not as high-end as the one found by Chen Han.
"What the hell!"
"Look, I found a bunch of copper harps here!"
"Seven Qin Zhen are placed side by side here, there are 24 Qin Zhen stacked together in another place, and there are 6 Qin Zhen scattered in the south."
"How many guqins are there?"
Zhuang Yunpeng shouted and greeted Chen Han and Lin Ya.
He also discovered important artifacts.
Qin Zhen, this thing has similar uses to zither. It is a small column used to support the strings and tune the strings.
Generally, a string must be matched with a zither.
Chen Han walked over quickly, looked at it for a few times, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, the rust is quite serious."
“Wuxianqin and ten-stringed qin were unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng.”
"A lyre was also unearthed from Tomb No. 3 in Mawangdui."
"The seven lyres here are placed side by side. They should be from the same lyre."
"This pile of 24 qins, maybe four five-stringed qins, or two ten-stringed qins."
"Maybe the last six lyres are also a lyre?"
Chen Han guessed with some uncertainty.
Because the preservation condition of these copper zithers is not good, they are very badly corroded.
There may be a small part that has completely decayed and disappeared.
After all, this thing is not big to begin with, only about the length and width of a middle finger.
It is indeed difficult to guess how many harps were buried with the body based only on the remaining copper harps.
The more this happens, the more regretful Chen Han feels.
The preservation condition of this tomb of the Nanyue King is really poor.
He has no place to blame.
The ancients didn't know that the soil in Xianggang was acidic, and things would easily corrode if buried in it.
I can only say that I am really unlucky.
Forget about these lacquered woodware.
Even the floor laid on the floor of the east ear room has almost completely corroded, and only a small part of the floor, which was pressed down by large bronze objects such as chimes, has been preserved.
It can be seen that originally this ear room should have been covered with high-grade wooden floors, and then wooden shelves were used to place the funerary objects in categories.
It's like a modern archaeological rack.
However, these "book racks" and the wooden boards on the ground quickly corroded after staying in an acidic underground for a long time.
This made Kong Jianwen, Professor Li, Chen Han and others feel a dark cloud hanging over their hearts.
If the conditions in the ear chamber and the front chamber are so bad, what will be the situation of the tomb owner in the main chamber?
Could it be that all the coffins and coffins were completely decayed and no bones were left?
Although there is no record in the history books, after the death of Zhao Hu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Huang Chang Ti Cou.
However, given that the Nanyue King's family has gone beyond what they are accustomed to doing, I am afraid that they will prepare their own troubles.
Huangchangticuo is a frame-shaped structure made of cypress beams.
The so-called "Huangchang" refers to cypress with a yellow heart, which is cypress after peeling. The wood used in the title is cypress with the bark removed, so the wood is light yellow in color and named after it.
And "Tizuo" is a kind of structure.
To put it simply, cypress wood is laid out layer by layer to create a zigzag-shaped coffin chamber to wrap the coffin of the tomb owner.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Huangchang Ticuo, the Zi Palace, the living room, the outer coffin, and the golden jade clothes belonged to the same imperial mausoleum.
And princes and kings can also enjoy these burial systems.
Some meritorious ministers with special permission from the emperor can also use it as an exception.
For example, after Huo Guang's death, Emperor Xuan granted him the use of Huang Chang Ti Cou.
Zhao and Hu both claimed to be Emperor Wen, so how could the tombs not be inscribed with yellow intestines?
It doesn’t have to be inconsistent with the emperor’s status!
But in such an acidic environment, can Huang Chang Ti Cou, which is made of countless large pieces of wood, be preserved?
Chen Han responded negatively to this.
It is estimated that it is unlikely to be preserved.
"Let's go, don't hang around here, keep cleaning up!"
"There are still a bunch of cultural relics in the East Room that haven't been cleared out."
After looking around the pile of copper harps discovered by Zhuang Yunpeng, Professor Li waved his hands away and asked Chen Han and the others to continue cleaning up.
When the boss speaks, everyone must obey.
Chen Han also temporarily abandoned all the random thoughts in his mind and devoted himself to excavation and cleanup again.
The cleaning of the copper selu has been completed, and there are still several pieces of copper next to the original Yong bell.
Francium (fang) is an ancient wine storage device with a square mouth and four curved prisms.
The biggest feature is that the cross-section anywhere on the francium is square, that is, if you take a knife and cut the object horizontally, diagonally, or vertically, it will always be square.
This kind of wine container was mainly popular from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, especially in the Western Han Dynasty.
In 2003, archaeologists unearthed a francium containing black liquid in NMG.
After testing, it was determined that these liquids were liquor from 2000 years ago!
Now this francium and the wine in it are still in the NMG Wine Culture Museum.
Of course, the francium unearthed by NMG is for civilian use and is completely incomparable with the one from the tomb of the King of South Vietnam.
The pieces of francium that Chen Han is cleaning are called exquisite ones. The background patterns are cloud and thunder patterns and triangle patterns, and the main pattern is the cockroach pattern.
The lines are smooth and embossed, and it looks like it was accurately printed with a mold.
Although the body of the vessel is not gilded, the lid is gilded, with gold on top and green on the bottom, which is very beautiful.
Compared with the plain francium unearthed by NMG, it doesn’t look like a product of the same era at all!
On the NMG side, in the Western Han Dynasty, they were roughly Shuofang and Wuyuan counties. They were established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and belonged to the border counties.
Nanyue Kingdom was the southernmost border country of the Western Han Dynasty.
However, the exquisiteness of the francium unearthed from the south to the north is very different.
From this, we can actually get a glimpse of the huge life gap between common people and nobles in the Han Dynasty.
The same utensils used by nobles are so exquisite that they seem to be several centuries older than those used by common people.
"The life of ancient nobles was really luxurious to the extreme." Chen Han stretched out his hand to gently touch the gilded francium cover and couldn't help but sigh.
Just when he was filled with emotions and sad about the Spring and Autumn Period.
A scream full of fear and panic broke his nostalgic atmosphere.
"Ahhh!"
Zhuang Yunpeng, who was bending down next to the passage between the East Room and the Front Room, sticking his butt out and cleaning the copper pot, suddenly jumped three feet high.
"Fuck!"
Chapter completed!
