My system is not decent

Chen Wenzhe didn't come here this time to rob tombs. He didn't even expect that there would be a large area of ​​ancient tombs here.

However, if you encounter it, you can't let it go.

He doesn't like the things here now, but protection is still necessary.

"Is it stacked in an orderly manner? When I found out it was a big pile, all stacked together, it looks very beautiful, but it's a pity that they can't be separated!"

The old man seemed to have seen it before. From his regretful expression, he knew that the porcelain they found here was very unusual.

Then, Chen Wenzhe inquired again carefully, and found that there was more than one place where the porcelain bowls were piled up here.

That's right, because the mausoleum here is a large area, and all of them are sealed with soil, so the family must have money.

However, in ancient times, even if you were rich, it was not uncommon for a large amount of porcelain to be piled up in the mausoleum!

After carefully asking the old man, especially how the unearthed porcelain was stacked, Chen Wenzhe confirmed it several times.

At this time, he also finished reading the information on the piece of broken porcelain in his hand, and his guess was confirmed.

Now he has a general understanding of what is going on here. The porcelain is not a special funeral object, but piled up with these porcelain bowls to build a tomb.

This is a very rare type of mausoleum called bowl tomb!

Blue and white porcelain bowls of different sizes are piled up in tombs, which are called bowl tombs.

Some such bowl tombs have been found in Sichuan Province, most of which are bowl tombs from the Qing Dynasty.

When it was first discovered, it surprised the world.

How spectacular is the ancient tomb made of thousands of blue and white porcelain bowls when it is dug up?

Anyone who knows about such a peculiar burial method will be curious.

So, when he heard about this kind of burial, he deliberately learned about it. Of course, he didn't find much information on the Internet.

Chen Wenzhe knew of a bowl tomb from the Qing Dynasty, which was discovered by cultural relics workers in a local county town in a large vegetable garden in a small village.

They were quite surprised when they first saw it.

The ancient tomb with an area of ​​nearly 5 square meters is made of nearly a thousand blue and white porcelain bowls of different sizes.

The bowl tomb is arch-shaped, and is made of sandy soil mixed with yellow mud, lime, and glutinous rice slurry, and the bowls are intersected and stacked.

The blue and white porcelain bowls used in the tomb, each with a diameter of about 12 centimeters, can make crisp sounds when they collide with each other.

Most of the bowls are glazed and decorated both inside and outside.

Later, after research, the tomb was roughly built in the late Qing Dynasty, and nearly a thousand porcelain bowls were used. From this point of view, the owner of the tomb may not be an ordinary civilian.

In order to protect the ancient tomb, the current cemetery has been sealed up in situ.

Thinking of Wan Tomb, without any hesitation, Chen Wenzhe sent a message to Professor Tao, explaining his current situation.

Soon, his cell phone rang, but it was also a message.

I want to come to Professor Tao with rich experience, knowing his current situation, it is not suitable to talk on the phone.

Looking at the information recovered by Professor Tao, Chen Wenzhe was a little surprised.

It seems that the burial custom of bowl tombs in Sichuan Province was passed down from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Then, Chen Wenzhe received another message, which was sent by Professor Li Mingsheng.

Looking at the introduction of Wan Tomb in Sichuan Province, Chen Wenzhe fell into deep thought.

It turned out that domestic experts believed that bowl tombs were a unique form of burial in Northeast Sichuan, but now it seems that they are not.

In fact, if you think about it, you know that if Sichuan Province had a unique burial method, then there would be no bowl tombs here.

However, through chatting with the old man, Chen Wenzhe understood very clearly that what the old man said was the standard of the bowl tomb.

Also, he also saw some fragmentary pictures through that small piece of broken porcelain.

Although the picture was broken, he still saw some of the overall structure of the tomb. It was indeed a bowl tomb.

Looking at the message sent by Professor Li, Chen Wenzhe gradually understood that the burial ceremony of this bowl of tomb is not necessarily unique to Sichuan Province.

In fact, not many bowl tombs have been found in Sichuan Province.

The bowl tombs are mainly concentrated in the eastern Sichuan area. It is said that there are discoveries in the southern Sichuan area, but no archaeological material has been seen so far.

The form of bowl tombs varies from place to place, some are rectangular tombs built directly with bowls, and some are made of bowls sandwiched in the burial soil.

The bowls of the tombs include both exquisite porcelain bowls and rough clay bowls.

In fact, as early as the second national cultural relics census in 1986, Zhouda discovered the bowl tomb.

According to the current research, the bowl tomb was a popular tomb form in eastern Sichuan from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Republic of China. It was the most popular in the Qing Dynasty and was called "Wanshan" by the local people.

从目前已发现的碗墓来看，这种墓葬一般长2.5米-3.5米、宽2米左右、高1.8米-2米。

A bowl tomb was cleared in Chuantong District, and more than 8000 blue-and-white porcelain bowls were used to form three layers. The mouth of each layer is facing inward, and all of them are glued together with glutinous rice paste, tung oil and lime.

Porcelain bowls are painted with figures, flowers, copper coins and other patterns.

At that time, they wanted to separate these porcelain bowls for cleaning, but it was difficult to separate them after soaking them in acid and cooking them in iron pots.

All the staff of the Cultural Relics Protection Center of the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology participated in the work, but the effect of cleaning the porcelain bowls was not very good.

I heard that there are still tens of thousands of bowls unearthed from various bowl tombs in Zhouda, which are piled up in the warehouse of the cultural management office.

Since more than one bowl tomb was discovered, many people naturally studied it, but the owner of the tomb is still a mystery.

In fact, Chen Wenzhe understood a little bit, just like the cemetery he found now.

This is probably the ancestral grave of a family in the original village. This kind of family cemetery is actually spread all over the country.

Just like the cemetery of the Chen Wenzhe family, how many tombstones are engraved?

No, the family cemetery is to be buried in order according to seniority.

When there are descendants in this kind of cemetery, the descendants will know exactly which ancestor's tomb is there.

And when the world changes, and the descendants die or move away, no one knows who is buried in the ground.

But the cemetery discovered now is different, and their owners are likely to be able to be verified.

The emergence of bowl tombs in the Ming Dynasty may be due to the lack of special institutional regulations and restrictions on funerals in the Ming Dynasty.

Among the ruling class, most of them are honored with extravagant burials.

Those who are not strong enough will borrow property and hold a big banquet at the time of burial.

And stop the burial selection period, water and land dojos, gather relatives and friends to make entertainment corpses, to show the scenery.

There was no sense of mourning in the funeral, so the bowl tomb appeared.

Some experts even said that the bowl tomb means that there will be food after death!

Chen Wenzhe didn't know the truth of this statement, but he knew that one piece of information was very important.

That is, the bowl tomb in Sichuan Province may be a custom brought by the ethnic minorities of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations when Huguang filled the river.

The area around Dahai City is not far from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
