My system is not decent

Similar to the practice of multi-child dowry, it is a kind of divided dowry.

Instead of placing the dowry in the dowry, it uses thin plates to separate the inner space.

Usually two layers, but only on one layer;

The area around the North and South Lakes is mostly in the lower layer, while Hui and Su are in the upper layer.

The one from Tomb No. 28, Gaotai, Jingzhou, Beihu, has five grids on the ground floor, the middle one is rectangular, and the two sides are three triangles and one circle;

In order to match the shape of the dowry, the edges are mostly curved.

The lattice walls are all made of thin wood boards in advance and embedded in the dowry.

The top of the cover, the center of the middle layer, and the bottom of each grid are painted with phoenix birds in vermilion, blue, and black lacquer.

In particular, the phoenix birds in the four small grids have curved necks and long tails. Their shapes are full of tension and their techniques are extremely concise, showing superb painting skills.

Excavated from Tomb No. 1 in Tianchangjiaowei, Hui Province, the upper layer is divided into three small comb boxes with a round cover on top;

Since the upper body is embedded with the dowry, it can also be called the "inner box".

The dome is painted all over the body and has many silver buttons. It is much more beautiful than the ones from Hubei in the early Western Han Dynasty.

This compartmentalized dowry is the same as the multiple dowry, which can play a good role in storage. The space division is more free, but the production is much easier. It is a practical design.

The emergence of multi-zi hou satisfies the needs of the Han people for storage functions.

Witches with different shapes, sizes, and patterns can store and distinguish various cosmetics and dressing utensils.

The mother's dowry collects scattered utensils into one place, which is easy to place and carry.

We often say today that "design serves people", but the ancients have actually done so.

When we carefully sort out the shape, decoration, function, and evolution of ancient utensils, do you feel that they are similar to some modern utensils?

And when we first saw these things, we really didn't know what they were used for until we discovered the treasure hidden inside.

For such a legendary thing, many sons are definitely one.

The more famous one should be the "Nine Sons" found in Xin Zhui's coffin. When it was first discovered, the contents inside made experts ask: What are these?

After the Mawangdui Han Tomb was opened, in addition to the world-famous wet corpse of Mrs. Xin Zhui, many national treasures were also unearthed.

Among them, in the No. [-] tomb of Mrs. Xin Zhui, the dowry box found was full of many "unrecognizable" things.

What is inside?This requires careful study.

Mawangdui Township in Husha has several ancient names.

These include the Tomb of the Second Ji, the Tomb of Two Women and the Tomb of Princess Changsha.

It can be seen that a great figure in history should be buried here.

In 1971, the villagers of Mawangdui Township responded to the call of the state and overhauled the air-raid shelter here.

As a result, the villagers discovered the difference in soil quality and suspected that an ancient tomb might have been dug.

Immediately after reporting layer by layer, a professional archaeological team came to the scene and started professional archaeological excavation.

Thanks to the efforts of archaeologists, the ancient tomb of Mawangdui, which had been buried for more than 2000 years, finally came to light.

The shocking Mawangdui wet corpse of Mrs. Xin Zhui was unearthed in the tomb, and more than 3000 precious cultural relics were unearthed one after another.

The famous Susha Zen Clothes were also unearthed here, which can be called a milestone discovery in the archaeological cause of our country.

When excavating the No. [-] tomb of Mrs. Xin Zhui, archaeologists discovered a beautifully shaped "double-layer nine sons' dowry".

It has been confirmed by archaeological experts that it is the exclusive "cosmetic box" of Mrs. Xin Zhui.

The "Double-layer Jiuzi Lian" is 20.8cm high and 35.2cm in diameter. It is a dark brown lacquerware with oiled and painted gold foil paper pasted on it.

The dowry is painted with cloud patterns in gold, white, and red everywhere, and the other places are filled with red lacquer.

The "Double-layer Jiuzi Lian" is divided into upper and lower layers. On the upper layer, three pairs of gloves, a silk cotton towel, a belt, and a silk "Longevity Embroidered" mirror coat were found.

In the lower layer is the cosmetic area, in which there are 9 grooves.

There is a small donut in each slot, and the cosmetics in the donut include rouge, powder puff, comb, grate, needle clothing and so on.

The first is the horn comb, which is easy to identify because we are still using it to this day.

In Tomb No. [-], three sets of combs were unearthed.

Its material is horny or wooden, and its shape is mostly horseshoe-shaped, and they are all placed in a small dish that is also horseshoe-shaped.

Through research and development, the people of the Han Dynasty were very particular. The horny comb and the wooden comb were used separately. The wooden comb can comb wet hair, while the horny comb can comb dry hair.

I don’t know how many modern people know about this?How many others can have this particularity?

In modern times, even poor families can buy some horn combs, which are used to comb dry hair, so you must remember it.

Of course, plastic combs don't matter, they are similar to horn combs, and you can use them for whatever you don't care about.

In this ancient dressing box, or storage box, apart from the comb, the most recognizable thing is the bronze mirror.

Among the three mirrors unearthed from the tomb of Mrs. Xin Zhui, one is a horn mirror and the other two are bronze mirrors.

Among them, the bronze mirror with dragon pattern is 19.5 cm in diameter and is placed separately in a container.

The mirror surface of this mirror is smooth and flat, and it can still reflect portraits after cleaning.

On the back is a pattern carved with dragon and cloud patterns, and two crimson ribbons are installed on the buttons, which should be used by the ancients as decoration.

Then there is needle clothing, and there is a unique "needle clothing" in the small dowry.

It is not a knitted garment, but a needlework "clothes" where the needlework is placed.

This can be identified with a little understanding.

The "needle clothing" is 16cm long and 8.8cm wide, in the shape of a curtain made of fine bamboo.

Both sides are covered with Qiluo, and there is a belt on the waist, one is white and the other is red.

The two sides can be folded in half, and it is an extremely delicate living utensil, which is used to mend clothes and beautify the attire of nobles.

After that, things are not easy to identify, such as palm tree.

The palm tree unearthed in the tomb is made of bundled brown silk, and its general state is a bit like the brush in our life.

The handle used to bind the palms is painted with black lacquer and surrounded by several turns of red thread.

The use of palmetto has always been controversial, and some experts believe that it is a brush used to modify sideburns.

Other experts believe that it was used to brush hair with pomade, similar to modern people's pomade.

Finally, there are horny tweezers. Don’t think that tweezers are invented by modern people. As early as 2000 years ago, the ancients had invented delicate tweezers.

The tweezers unearthed in the tomb are horny, with a total length of about 19.9cm. The tweezers head is pointed and conical, and the other end is a tweezers piece that can be installed and disassembled at will. It is a dual-purpose device for cone tweezers.

The part where the cone connects with the tweezers is specially carved into a bird's head by the craftsman, and engraved with geometric patterns, showing the delicate and elegant life of Mrs. Xin Zhui.

So many "cosmetics" were unearthed from Mrs. Xin Zhui's tomb, which shows the superior life of this old lady.
