【Do you believe that there was a meteor shower more than 2000 years ago? 】

It was even more exciting than Chen Fan's solo live broadcast before.

When Chen Fan explained these cultural relics from more than 2000 years ago, a series of dusty histories from more than 2000 years ago gradually revealed the truth.

among these stories.

They met Chen Sheng.

They met Zhao Tuo.

They knew Wang Mang, the traverser.

They knew more about the awesomeness of Liu Xiu, the great magister of the son of the plane.

"Sister, I'm so sorry, why didn't I buy the tickets for the Xi'an Museum."

"Me too. If I buy it, I will be able to listen to Mr. Chen Fan's history lecture on the spot."

"Oh, you think you can buy it if you want. I placed an order a few days ago, but all the tickets were sold out."

"Hahaha, I will say, am I acting in Xi'an Museum now? Come, come, show you some photos..."

Although Chen Fan's program is just a historical program.

but.

Ever since Chen Fan started talking about the Han Dynasty, Chen Fan's program has already become the most popular program in China.

none of them.

"Brothers, I heard there will be an afternoon show."

"Yes, Mr. Chen Fan will broadcast another episode in the afternoon episode. Moreover, it is said that the afternoon episode will be the highlight."

"It's already so awesome in the morning, what else can I do in the afternoon?"

"Then I don't know, I guess it will be a national treasure."

"National Treasure... Well, I don't have to go to work this afternoon, so I want to watch Teacher Chen Fan's program."

Many people regretted that they did not buy tickets.

At this moment, it would be a pity if I missed the afternoon session.

……

At 2:[-] in the afternoon, Chen Fan took a break and then appeared at the scene.

There was no politeness, and Chen Fan continued in the morning session.

A few cultural relics were introduced.

Subsequently.

Curator Xiao walked over: "Mr. Chen Fan, there are a few cultural relics here, please take a look."

As soon as such a formation came out, the crowd was already boiling.

"Brothers, the main event is about to take place."

"Well, I guess it will be a treasure."

"I don't know what it is, I'm looking forward to it."

Watching the staff push out the glass tables one by one, the countless people waiting had some shortness of breath.

"so much?"

through the lens.

Everyone only saw hundreds of cultural relics inside the glass cover.

And the biggest of them all.

That is one potter after another.

In addition to these pottery figures, there are also various bronzes, jades, and golds...

"Director Xiao, where were these cultural relics unearthed from?"

"It's in our Xi'an."

"Depending on the situation, these cultural relics are only a part of all unearthed cultural relics."

"Yes."

Curator Xiao nodded: "In this tomb, there are more cultural relics. However, because the exhibition space is limited, some representative cultural relics are shown."

"From this point of view, this scale should be the princess tomb."

"We thought so too."

Curator Xiao nodded: "But we didn't find the inscription on the tomb, and we have no way of knowing the identity of this princess."

Done.

Curator Xiao withdrew from the camera.

……

"Damn it, the Xi'an Museum is looking for Mr. Chen Fan to appraise cultural relics."

"Haha, I see."

"No way, the Xi'an Museum can't identify it by itself, so we can only find a master. Since Teacher Chen Fan is here, how can they let it go?"

Everyone seemed to have guessed the intention of the Xi'an Museum at once.

"It's just so difficult."

"There is too little information, how can we determine who these cultural relics belong to."

"Even if Mr. Chen Fan is the master of tomb robbers, it will be difficult to identify."

Many people were talking about it.

But actually.

After these cultural relics were launched, Chen Fan already knew who they belonged to.

but.

Chen Fan did not say it immediately, but analyzed these cultural relics: "You can take a look, these cultural relics include cultural relics made by us in China, and some cultural relics made in the Western Regions. In addition, from the styles of these cultural relics In terms of analysis, this should belong to the Western Han Dynasty. And it was the period after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

Why is it this time after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Because before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Although the Han Dynasty also had some exchanges with the Western Regions, there were not many such exchanges without opening up the Hexi Corridor.

It was not until the Han Dynasty conquered the Hexi Corridor controlled by the Huns that the Han Dynasty had closer exchanges with the Western Regions.

Then there was the emergence of the Silk Road, which connected the Western Regions with the Han Dynasty.

"Let's take a look at these unearthed cultural relics. Generally speaking, most of the things that will be placed in the tomb owner's tomb are things that the tomb owner used before his life, or some scenes that he often experienced. And there are many nonsense in it. There are pottery people in the shape of human beings, which seems to indicate that the princess seems to have often dealt with barbarian people."

"So, what kind of princess would deal with barbarians?"

"The answer is, my dear princess."

Sometimes, although there is no tomb inscription, the identity of the owner of the tomb can still be roughly guessed through logical analysis.

"And relatives?"

"No way, is there still a marriage during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

"It should not be necessary."

Everyone was a little puzzled.

Regarding this, Chen Fan also explained: "Actually, peace can happen at any time. When you are weak, a certain country may form alliances with other countries through peace. When you are strong, a certain country will also Weak countries are drawn in through marriage. Although the national power is strong after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to defeat all the countries, or there is no need to do so. Sometimes through the method of marriage, you can get a bigger one Benefit."

Some people may feel that there is some humiliation in getting married.

However, if it is said that being married is humiliating.

Compared with tens of thousands of people dying on the battlefield, what is a marriage?
Those tens of thousands of people also have families, parents, and children.

Compared with tens of thousands of soldiers, who is more important than a princess?

and so.

Getting married was the most peaceful way at that time.

Of course.

Although marriage is not particularly reliable.

But among the many ways of forming an alliance, marriage is a more reliable one.

Speaking of marriages, the most famous ones are Wang Zhaojun and Princess Wencheng.

but.

Before Wang Zhaojun and Princess Wencheng, there were two other princesses.

The two protagonists, one is called Liu Xijun and the other is called Liu Jieyou.

Let me talk about Liu Xijun first.

Chen Fan said: "During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions. After learning about the situation in the Western Regions, Zhang Qian suggested that the Han Dynasty unite with the Wusun Kingdom to deal with the Xiongnu. However, the Wusun Kingdom did not immediately agree. After sending envoys to the Han Dynasty, they saw the power of the Han Dynasty. At this time, the Xiongnu was preparing to attack Wusun. Wusun sent envoys to the Han Dynasty to present horses, expressing his willingness to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, and the two countries formed an alliance. Immediately, Emperor Wu of Han sent Liu Xijun, the daughter of King Dujiang, to marry King Wusun [Liejiaomi]."

"However, Lie Jiaomi is old and does not speak Chinese. Therefore, Liu Xijun has been depressed after marrying Wusun. Because he often misses his hometown, Liu Xijun wrote a poem called "Song of Sadness" .”

My family will marry me,
The king of Wusun from a foreign country.

The dome is the room and the wall is the wall.

Feed on meat and butter as pulp.

I always think about my heart hurt,
I would like to return to my hometown for Huang Huxi.

"From this poem, we can see how much Liu Xijun should miss his hometown. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about this, and every other year he sent Liu Xijun maintenance tents, brocade, and other daily necessities. But, even so, As a married princess, Liu Xijun could only stay in Wusun. A few years later, Lie Jiaomi was old and wanted to make his grandson [Junxumi] marry Liu Xijun. Liu Xijun disagreed, so he wrote to Emperor Wu of Han to explain the matter, and Emperor Wu of Han replied Said: "follow the customs of Wusun country". Lie Jiaomi passed away, and Junxumi became the king. Liu Xijun and Junxumi had a daughter named Shaofu. Liu Xijun lived in Wusun for only five years in the fourth year of Taichu died of illness."

Although making love is nothing.

but.

When Chen Fan talked about marrying Princess Liu Xijun, everyone couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

but.

Many people didn't understand the customs of Wusun, so they asked: "Mr. Chen Fan, what are the customs of Wusun? Why did Liu Xijun marry the grandson of King Wusun later on?"

Chen Fan explained: "This custom is not only the custom of Wusun, but also the custom of many countries in the Western Regions. According to their customs, if the father or elders of the family die, the younger generations will inherit the family property, including women. It will also be inherited by the heirs."

"I'm going, how could this be?"

Such a custom made everyone dumbfounded.

Chen Fan explained: "This is somewhat incomprehensible to us Han people, but it also makes sense to some countries in the Western Regions. Although the Western Regions are very large, they are actually dominated by nomadic civilization. Their entire environment It’s not as easy to support yourself as in farming civilization. If a man in the family dies and the other women are widowed, it’s not conducive to population growth. That’s why there’s such a custom.”

In fact.

Not to mention the nomads in the Western Regions.

Sometimes on the side of the Chinese nation, the population problem is quite serious.

Because of the perennial wars, many times the men died.

So many times, many imperial courts will order these women to remarry.

And some who do not marry when they reach the age will even be punished.

Of course.

Generally speaking, the policies of the Chinese side are much more open and inclusive than those of the Western Regions.

"Well, it seems that in the inheritance of our Chinese civilization, these princesses have also made great sacrifices."

"Yes, a beautiful girl married an old man. Later, she will marry his grandson, who can bear it with us."

Everyone sighed from time to time.

But sometimes, he is like this, there is no way.

But the story is not over.

Chen Fan went on to say: "Because Liu Xijun passed away in Wusun five years ago, in order to maintain the alliance with Wusun, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Liu Jieyou to marry Junxu Mi. This Liu Jieyou is the younger brother of Han Gaozu, King Chu Yuan. A descendant of Liu Jiao. During Emperor Jing’s period, Liu Jieyou’s grandfather was one of the initiators of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. Compared with Liu Xijun, Liu Jieyou lived longer, and she almost went through the experience of the Western Regions belonging to the Han Dynasty.”

"A few years after Liu Jieyou married Junxumi, Junxumi also died. Later, Liu Jieyou married his younger brother Weng Guimi. It's just that the power of the Han Dynasty has become stronger and stronger over the years. Originally, the Han Dynasty needed to join forces with Wusun to deal with the Xiongnu, but by the time of Emperor Xuan, the Han Dynasty had already included the Western Regions in its territory. Therefore, Liu Jieyou’s task was no longer an alliance, but monitoring Wusun.”

"After Weng Guimi's death, Liu Jieyou married Wusun's next successor, the Mad King. But Liu Jieyou knew that the Mad King was unpopular, so he wanted to kill him. But it didn't work. Later, the matter was revealed. Although the Han Dynasty appeases the mad king on the surface, it secretly agrees with Liu Jieyou's actions. In 53 BC, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty went to Wusun. In the end, Wusun surrendered to the Han Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Western Han Dynasty."

"After Wusun surrendered to the Han Dynasty, in 51 BC, Liu Jieyou wrote a letter to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, saying that he was old and thoughtful, and he was willing to be buried in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Liu Jieyou was already a rare year. She was welcomed back to Chang'an, along with Liu Jieyou's grandson and granddaughter. Liu Jieyou was escorted by Chang Hui, and Ganlu entered the fortress from Yangguan in October of the third year. After Princess Jieyou returned to Han, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty gave Liu Jieyou a The high-ranking farmhouses, servants and servants are very generous, and the court etiquette is also similar to that of the princess. Two years later, Liu Jieyou passed away, and three grandchildren guarded her tomb..."

Done.

Chen Fan looked at the cultural relics unearthed from these tombs again, and said, "If my guess is correct, the owner of these cultural relics is Liu Jieyou."

The applause sounded at the right time.

The applause was not very loud, but extremely lasting.

"Some don't know what to say."

"Liu Xijun was fine. He died in Wusun a few years ago and did not suffer too much pain. Liu Jieyou was depressed. She was only 20 years old when she went to Wusun, but she was in her 70s when she returned to her hometown. She I lived in Wusun for more than 50 years, and married many husbands, and gave birth to children for many Wusun kings. Fortunately, when I returned to my hometown when I was old, I can be regarded as returning to my roots.”

"Liu Xijun, Liu Jieyou...I don't think I will forget your names."

The prosperity of Chinese civilization did not come easily.

While the Chinese civilization was strong, he did not know how many lives were sacrificed.

He didn't know how many people's youth, sweat, and love had been sacrificed.

Or.

Love was a luxury at that time, and there was no love at all at that time.

but.

Let such a woman live in the Western Regions for more than 50 years and remarry many husbands. Anyone can imagine the pain she endured.

……

"Thank you, Teacher Chen Fan."

"If it weren't for you, maybe we still don't know what happened more than 2000 years ago."

Curator Xiao is also full of emotions.

"There is another cultural relic here. Teacher Chen Fan still needs your help."

Director Xiao finished speaking.

The staff rolls out a glass cover.

Inside the glass cover, only a piece of brocade embroidered with various patterns can be seen.

Seeing this brocade, Chen Fan opened his mouth excitedly.

Seeing Chen Fan's expression.

The fans in the live broadcast room were a little surprised: "What's going on?"

"Did you find a treasure?"

"It doesn't seem right, it's just a piece of cloth."

natural.

A lot of netizens don't understand.

But in Chen Fan's eyes.

This cloth is no ordinary cloth.

"Director Xiao, I think it's better not to show this brocade lightly in the future. Not only should it not be lightly shown, but I suggest that such a national treasure should never be allowed to go abroad."

Staring at the brocade with extremely excited eyes, Chen Fan said.

"national treasure?"

Curator Xiao was a little puzzled.

Subsequently.

But he heard a voice: "Five stars come out of the east and benefit China."
