Chapter 182 From the placement of jade bi, the medical level of the Western Han Dynasty can be seen

Not considered tall in modern times.

But during the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao Hu's height was already very good.

Mr. Sui, the Han tomb No. 168 in Fenghuang Mountain that Chen Han participated in the excavation, was only 1.65 meters tall, far less tall than Zhao Hu.

He is also a nobleman, don't take the fifth official, who has the same status as the county magistrate, so seriously!

In such a comparison, Zhao Hu can be said to be very "tall".

"Tsk, tsk, if he had been more handsome, he would probably be considered a handsome man from the Western Han Dynasty." Chen Han joked with a smile.

"By the way, if we all traveled to the Western Han Dynasty, we would all be considered handsome, right?"

None of the male members of the archaeological team are less than 175cm tall, including Professor Li and Kong Jianwen. Although they are not 1.8m tall, they are still over 175cm tall.

In addition, modern people eat well, drink well, and their mental outlook and maintenance level far exceed those of the ancients in the Western Han Dynasty.

If there really was a modern person who traveled back to ancient times with his body.

As long as he doesn't look really miserable, even if he has a popular face, he would still be a handsome guy in ancient times.

If I had grown a little more beard, I am afraid that the girls of the Western Han Dynasty would be so fascinated that they would lose their minds.

"If you really travel back in time, the modern viruses and microorganisms you carry all over your body are just individual walking viruses. Anyone who touches you will die."

"In an era without antibiotics, vaccines, and modern, abundantly mutated viruses, the human body was very fragile, and even a cold could kill someone."

Professor Li rarely participated in the childish discussion between Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng, and poured cold water on them.

Although Professor Li is not young, he also knows what time travel is and what rebirth is. In the past ten years, this topic has been too popular on the Internet.

"Okay, don't think about whether these are available or not."

Professor Li shook his head, stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of jade, and said in a serious tone: "There are no traces of clothing fabrics found inside the jade clothes, the jade stones that were placed close to the body inside the jade clothes, and the remaining bones.

.”

"This situation may explain that when the tomb owner was buried, he might have been buried naked and wearing a jade suit."

"This should also be a more respected method of burial in the Han Dynasty. The body is in direct contact with jade, and the power of jade can be used to prevent the body from decaying."

"Unfortunately, this is just a beautiful wish and fantasy of the ancients."

"If jade really makes the body incorruptible, modern biology and human body science will have to be reconstructed."

Chen Han shook his head and laughed. This statement was even more unreliable than time travel.

At least quantum mechanics can provide an explanation for time travel.

It is really nonsense to say that jade can prevent human tissues and proteins from decaying.

"Hey, there are really a lot of jade."

"Even if the jade garment is covered with ten pieces of jade, there are actually 14 jade pieces placed close to the body inside the jade garment."

On the other side, Director Fu also sighed with emotion.

Originally, he thought that the owner of the tomb placed ten jade pieces on his body and three jade huangs on each side of his body, which was already in line with the specifications of a "jade burial" and was more than what most nobles of the Western Han Dynasty used.

Unexpectedly, this is just childish.

Inside the jade garment, that is, on the naked body of the tomb owner, 14 pieces of jade were placed close to the body, sandwiched between the body of the tomb owner and the jade garment.

"How did you put on jade clothes?"

Zhuang Yunpeng's mind was filled with questions.

Just imagining that scene in my mind is extremely confusing.

After the tomb owner passed away, it was already very difficult to put jade clothes on him.

How to put on jade clothes and stuff 14 pieces of jade into it at the same time?

Zhuang Yunpeng's little brain couldn't think of an answer.

Chen Han also frowned, trying to recreate in his mind the scene when the owner of the tomb was buried.

Professor Li, on the other hand, doesn't find it strange.

"As long as there are enough people to serve, nothing is impossible."

"At worst, the jade garment can be made into a semi-finished product. The last part of the chest is not sewn on first. After the tomb owner's body lies in the jade garment, the jade biscuits can be placed, and finally the chest part is sewn on."

"Move quickly and have more people working on it. It can be completed within a day or two without causing the body to rot."

"You cannot imagine the luxury and enjoyment of ancient kings, as well as the manpower and material resources they can mobilize."

Professor Li raised his eyebrows and gave a strange expression that you rarely see.

Why can only the highest-ranking nobles enjoy jade clothes?

Not only because of the emperor's strict regulations, but also because making jade clothes was very expensive and labor-intensive, and even wearing them in the end was not an easy task.

There is no way to do this without dozens of servants taking turns serving in the family!

Professor Li said while sorting it out: "The 14 jade pieces arranged close to the body inside the jade clothes are crystal clear and firm, and the decoration and cutting work are also extremely fine. The soil calcification is relatively slight."

"Compared with the jade pieces on the jade clothes, both the jade quality and workmanship are much more exquisite."

"It looks like the jade placed close to the body is indeed the best quality jade. It is all high-quality sapphire. It actually has a sense of warmth and moisturizing."

Chen Han also nodded and took over the conversation: "There are two pieces placed on the hood, and they are sandwiched between the ears."

"The other four pieces are arranged vertically on the chest and abdomen, with the larger three pieces at the top and the other smaller openwork three-dragon jade pressed against the vagina."

"The remaining 8 pieces are arranged on both sides of the column, 4 pieces on each side."

"Not only is the jade quality better than the jade pieces in the jade clothes, but the carving craftsmanship on this jade biscuit is also very top-notch."

"Especially this piece of openwork three-dragon jade. It's so beautiful. No wonder it's placed on the vagina."

"It seems that the ancients were also very obsessed with protecting their private parts."

Although there was some color in his words, Chen Han's expression was very serious.

This is no joke.

Understanding the placement of these jade stones will have a direct effect on understanding the people of the Western Han Dynasty who paid the most attention to those parts of the body that replenish the body.

Putting two pieces of jade in the hood shows that the Western Han people knew very well that the head must be protected from corruption and knew the importance of the brain.

Three pieces are placed on the chest and abdomen, which shows that people in the Western Han Dynasty also knew that the organs in the chest and abdomen are also related to life and cannot rot.

As for the vagina, that's even better. This thing is used to carry on the family line. For the Han people who value filial piety, this is the most important thing. The organ that carries on the family line must be protected.

There are no jade bis placed on the tomb owner's legs or hands.

This shows that people in the Western Han Dynasty knew that people could continue to survive even without limbs and would not be unable to "resurrection".

From the placement of these jade stones.

In fact, it can be seen that the development of medicine in the Western Han Dynasty was still very good.

At least he has a good understanding of the functions and significance of the important organs of the human body.

To understand the functions of organs, anatomy is obviously essential.

Legend has it that Bian Que once uncovered the remains of soldiers who died in battle and obtained valuable human body data.

He also wrote some medical techniques about the structure of the human body.
