Chapter 306 Archaeological work has come to an end

The stage results report meeting on the Haihunhou Tomb was very successful.

Although the reports given by Directors Kong Jianwen and Wen were relatively dry.

But the reporters present were all professionals.

After the meeting, within a day, the phased results regarding the tomb of Haihunhou were quickly announced on the Internet.

Every discovery that changes the archaeological history of China, and even the history of China, is talked about by netizens.

Before the discovery of Haihunhou's tomb, most of the few people who were familiar with history and knew about Haihunhou thought that Liu He was just a "big foodie", "big fool" and "big fool".

However, with the in-depth archaeological excavation of the Haihunhou Tomb and the display of a large number of unearthed cultural relics, people can clearly see the complete image of a scholar.

Liu He had an idol that he worshiped all his life, the portrait of Confucius and his disciples and their lives on the lacquer painting on Wen Ming's mirror.

Liu He has Confucian classics that he often reads, including the Analects of Confucius, the Book of Songs, the Classic of Filial Piety, the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals, etc. in his archives.

Liu He had a complete set of exquisite study utensils around him, including pens, inkstones, ink, tables, cups, knives, bamboo slips, and wooden tablets.

Liu He has the typical iconic image of a literati at that time, with a crown of honor, a hairpin and a pen, holding a slip of paper, leaning on a table in his arms, and wearing a jade cup and jade sword on his waist.

Liu He had chess skills favored by literati and poets in the Han Dynasty, Liubo chess sets and a large number of bamboo slips of chess records.

Liu He also had a very high ability to control writing, and could skillfully write slips, slips, and names using standard Han official script.

Even Liu He's calligraphy skills are quite good. At least in the name of the name he wrote himself, the Han Li writing is very elegant.

Therefore, Liu He is an out-and-out scholar.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the "Doctor of the Five Classics". His grandson Liu He, who was an emperor, had the status of a prince, and was a scholar with profound knowledge of all kinds, it is more than enough to call him a "postdoctoral fellow" or even a "doctoral supervisor".

The image of Liu He, Marquis of Haihun, has been completely overturned through this archaeological excavation.

At least, he is definitely not as ignorant, ignorant, and unskilled as described in the history books.

However, not all the records about Liu He in history books are wrong.

At least Haihun Hou is extravagant, so he should be right.

However, for a nobleman in BC, excessive luxury seemed to be the normal situation.

In other words, evaluating whether a nobleman, or even prince, king, or emperor in the mid-Western Han Dynasty was luxurious or not does not seem to be evidence of whether the person is outstanding.

Liu He's grandfather, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, not only achieved great martial arts achievements, but also did not hide his desire for luxury.

Whether it was the massive construction of palaces or repeated military campaigns, the differences between Liu Che and his father and ancestors were shown.

From the time Liu Che succeeded to the throne, through the Wenjing rule in the Western Han Dynasty, the copper coins were piled up to the point where they could never be spent. By the time Liu Che issued the "Edict of Sin" in his later years, not all of the tens of millions of copper coins were used to improve military preparedness.

In fact, most of the money in Liu Chehua's inner treasury was used to build a palace for himself and give himself luxury.

The improvement of the country's armaments and the training of cavalry were mostly funded by the treasury, not Liu Che's money.

It is true that Liu Che has outstanding martial arts skills, but it is also true that he is very good at spending money and is extravagant. He spent all the money from the emperor's inner treasury saved by his father and ancestors for him!

Therefore, by the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty restored the frugal style of Emperors Wen and Jing.

But this does not mean that an emperor must be frugal to be a good emperor.

Especially when the country is at its peak, it is not a big mistake for an emperor to be extravagant.

We can only say that frugality is better, but we cannot say that luxury is wrong.

The rise in living standards, from a certain perspective, also represents the prosperity of the country.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very good at spending money and was very luxurious.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was even more famous for his luxury.

But they were both in the heyday of a country, and the Han and Tang dynasties at that time could withstand the luxurious life of these emperors.

Even this represents a prosperous age.

As long as it was a prosperous period, the emperor would definitely live a happy and luxurious life.

As long as we don't do what King Zhou of Shang did, he still maintained a wine pool and meat forest when the country was already in danger.

Like the Empress Dowager Cixi, she was beaten by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, but she still had to hold a Longevity Festival and continue to build her garden.

The emperor's luxury within the scope of his financial resources is completely understandable.

Not to mention that Marquis Haihun said he was luxurious. He had only been emperor for 27 days, so there was no time to spend anything on him.

When a large number of cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Haihunhou were displayed to the public, the true appearance of Liu He was gradually restored.

"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit." The most accurate demonstration of this sentence can be said to be a very good lesson for the public.

Everyone also has a clear understanding of how the image of losers in political struggles will be "shaped" in youth history.

Then, Haihunhou Liu He began to trigger many netizens’ thoughts and discussions.

Are the "foolish kings" recorded in the history books really, as the history books say, all stupid and unprincipled "bad guys" with no merit?

Among them, the most questionable one is the ancestral dragon Qin Shihuang.

Bao Qin has been scolded for two thousand years.

But is this a Confucian view, or is it the real response of the people at that time?

There have been various debates and even wars on the Internet surrounding this topic.

Suddenly, netizens all over the Internet turned into historians, expressing their opinions and comments on historical figures, trying to overturn their images in history books.

Trying to "restore" them to their original appearance.

Well, Chen Han never expected this development of public opinion.

He even played a big role in supporting it...

Because his self-media account is always in use.

While participating in the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb, Chen Han also took some photos.

After the official media announced the results of the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb, Chen Han also asked Wei Sisi to make some videos and put them on the Internet.

As a front-line archaeological worker who was deeply involved in the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb.

The video he produced based on his personal experience has certainly become the most important source for the public to study the tomb of Haihunhou and Liu He, the Houhaihunhou.

As a result, many videos under the account of Mr. Chen, who loves archeology, unexpectedly became popular!

Because the archaeological image of Haihunhou did not match the image in historical records, which triggered a heated discussion among the people, Chen Han never expected to take advantage of this wave of popularity and suddenly become popular.

His video views quickly jumped from hundreds of thousands to millions!

On Station B, his latest videos summarizing the phased results of the Tomb of Haihunhou unexpectedly became the number one on the entire website!

In just one week, it received more than 4 million views!

It’s as hot as a Tibetan fox!

Chen Han, who was already on the high-speed train returning to the capital, was dumbfounded when he saw this sudden explosion.
