if relics could talk

Because she was too excited the night before, when Tao Le was woken up by the alarm clock the next morning, she still couldn't keep her eyes open.

Xu Lingjia made reservations for the museum tickets for her, but she was notified by the school that she couldn't accompany her.

Tao Le has nothing to do with it: "The work is important, I can do it myself."

After a brief tidying up, Tao Le took her GoPro to the entrance of the museum alone. Unexpectedly, there are many people who come here to visit, most of them are brought by tour groups. bigger.

Tao Le lined up behind them. Although there were many people, the line didn't take too long, and they were able to get in.

Calculated in this way, in fact, the people who went in did not come out after shopping for too long.

Because they are all brought by travel agencies, and there is no charge for museum tickets, so if you bring tourists here, it is probably just to watch the excitement.

Tao Le had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.

She jumped over the crowd and went straight to Susha Danyi.

It happened that a tourist in a tour group invited a guide, and the guide was saying: "Let's take a look, this single garment made of plain yarn can be described as 'light as smoke, thin as onion wings'. Dyed yarn, unlined garment refers to unlined garment, this unlined garment..."

The lecturer spoke very seriously, but there were not many people listening in the group, so they soon dispersed and went to see their own things.

Because the people in front had dispersed, Tao Le joined in.

Seeing that some people were still listening carefully, the lecturer became more enthusiastic about the explanation: "This unlined garment is cut and sewn from thin gauze woven from plain silk. The length of the whole garment is 128 centimeters. The length of the sleeves is 190 centimeters, but the weight is only 49 grams, and if the cuffs and collar are removed, only 40.2 grams are left.”

While listening to the explanation, Tao Le looked up at the plain gauze singlet.

The light in the museum is not too bright, and the plain gauze singlet is quietly displayed here, looking at the people after more than 100 years with the eyes of those who have passed by.

Although it has nothing to say, it can tell too much.

Tao Le looked at it, and his eyes became hot.

The guide seldom saw such sincere tourists when they came to visit. She handed Tao Le a piece of paper and asked, "Do you like it very much?"

"Thank you," Tao Le took the tissue and thanked her. "I like it very much. It is really admirable that the ancients more than 2000 years ago could make such exquisite costumes. I am a little excited."

The explainer was amused: "Then I have to explain it to you."

Tao Le also smiled and said, "All ears."

"How did the ancients wear such light and elegant clothes? Many scholars believe that it may be worn outside brocade clothes, which can not only increase its magnificence, but also create a hazy beauty. This is exactly in line with the Chinese people's implicit , Introverted traditional aesthetic taste. But some scholars believe that it is worn as a kind of underwear.”

"It all makes sense."

As for how it was worn by its owner more than 2000 years ago, I am afraid that only it knows.

The plain gauze singlet is a cultural relic that Tao Le wants to speak for it through a story.

Through the introduction of the lecturer, we can know that the reason why this dress is so light and thin is not because the fabric has large holes and many gaps, but the yarn material is very thin. A 900-meter-long silk weighs about 1 gram.It can be said that this is the earliest surviving garment in the world so far, the most complete preservation, the most exquisite craftsmanship, and the thinnest piece of clothing.Hidden behind it is the excellence of the ancients in every link from silkworm eggs to silkworm cocoons, from silk reeling to weaving, representing the highest level of silkworm breeding, silk reeling and weaving technology in the early Han Dynasty.

The guide continued to take the tourists forward and introduced other cultural relics.

Tao Le was still standing in front of the display case of plain yarn single clothes, feeling his blood boil.

To tell the story of Susha single garment, it is necessary to know its owner.

Tao Le had already learned about the information on the Mawangdui Han Tomb, and checked it again last night. On January 1972, 1, archaeologists first excavated Mawangdui Han Tomb No. 16.After nearly three months of excavation, a huge coffin in the tomb finally appeared.

As the lid of the outer wooden coffin was lifted, the wooden coffin in the center of the wooden coffin was revealed, surrounded by a large number of funerary side boxes, including lacquerware, bamboo slips, pottery, wooden servants, etc.

The tomb was placed in a deep pit nearly 20 meters deep from the ground. From excavation to seeing the coffin of the tomb, it is divided into four layers. The first layer is the sealing soil that seals the tomb, and the second layer is the rammed earth layer with a thickness of 16 meters. The third layer is mainly made of white plaster mud which has a strong anti-corrosion effect and can effectively cut off the connection of water and gas exchange inside and outside the tomb. The last layer is filled with a layer of more than 30 centimeters close to the surrounding and top of the coffin. Charcoal, charcoal has super adsorption and moisture-proof ability, once again prevents the coffin from being damp and rotted.

It is precisely because of layers of sealing and protection that such well-preserved funerary objects can be unearthed.

"Is it the cultural relic you chose?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Tao Le, perhaps because in this museum where so many cultural relics from more than 2000 years ago are displayed, there is always a sense of trance through time and space.

When Tao Le turned around and saw Qin Yi, he thought it was his eyes that were dazzled.

When she rubbed her eyes for the third time, Qin Yi finally couldn't help reaching out to hold her.

"Be nice to your eyes," Qin Yi said, "It's me, I came here on a red-eye flight, I got a room at your hotel, and got up a little late."

It was really him, he actually rushed all the way to Changsha.

"Why are you here?" Tao Le's heart was pounding.

"The cultural relics restoration room has been very busy recently, and there is no recruitment plan for the time being. I don't want to work hard and have no other direction. I don't have confidence in whether I understand traditional culture, even if I have the opportunity, whether I can pass, so..."

Qin Yi looked into Tao Le's eyes: "So I plan to concentrate on doing stage plays with you during this time."

It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy, Tao Le could no longer hide his expression.

She grinned happily: "That would be great!"

At this time, a new tour leader came here with tourists, and Tao Le simply stepped aside.

"I want to see Mrs. Xin Zhui."

The owner of Pit No. [-] of the Mawangdui Han Tomb is Xin Zhui, wife of Li Cang, Prime Minister of the Changsha Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty.

Mrs. Xin Zhui has been in a deep sleep for more than 2000 years. When she reappeared, her appearance was intact, her whole body was soft and elastic. She was also the first wet corpse discovered in the world with a long history. After being unearthed, she shocked the world.

It is a pity that after the body was unearthed, due to the previous conditions and no awareness of protection at that time, the body was in contact with the air for a long time, which made the preservation condition extremely deteriorated, and the original lifelike body was severely damaged.

It was not until 2003 that Xin Zhui's body was placed in the "underground bedroom" tailored for him by the Hunan Provincial Museum.This "underground bedroom" is 8 meters above the ground, with constant temperature and humidity. It was built in imitation of the original state when it was unearthed that year, and is close to the environment in the Mawangdui ancient tomb before.

Tourists who want to pay their respects to Mrs. Xin Zhui's remains can only look down from a high place. There are many people leaning against the guardrails around. The staff have been reminding everyone not to take pictures.

To show respect, Tao Le and Qin Yi put away their cameras at the same time.
