Let you dig treasure, you dug out the ancient tomb of the emperor!

Chapter 186 The only text that can be examined, not recognized by the international historian [Xia]!!

“What kind of bone is this?”

“Heavenly Spirit Cover.”

“Hurry up and lose it, it’s scary.”

“Which dynasty was martyred here? Why do you still cut your hands and feet? ”

Lu Yuan’s finger tapped lightly on the turtle shell: “Shang Dynasty’s.” ”

“Shang Dynasty? Wait, Shang Dynasty? ”

“Shang Zhou, that Shang?”

Lu Yuan raised the turtle shell in his hand: “Such an iconic cultural relic has been dug up, isn’t it the Shang Dynasty?” ”

Seeing that no one seemed to recognize it, Lu Yuan said: “This is the turtle shell, and the oracle bone on it is the oracle bone.” ”

The three words of oracle bone are like a bolt of lightning, streaking in front of everyone’s eyes.

In the history of cultural relics in the Dragon Kingdom, there are a few cultural relics, even if you have not seen them, but you must have heard of them.

Their fame is thunderous, their status is the highest, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a household name.

In the Dragon Kingdom, and even the whole world, it has a very high reputation.

For example, Oracle.

This is one piece, only from the point of view, can crush the existence of the “Orchid Pavilion Preface”, “Yongle Dian” and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.

The reason why it has such a high reputation is not only that it comes from this unique status more than 3,600 years ago, but also that the beautiful country has registered the public identity of the same name as the oracle bone of the family.

And this company ranks among the world’s top 100.

It is extremely rare to use the Dragon Kingdom cultural relics as the name of his company, and also achieve the top 100 in the world.

Coupled with its own fame in the Dragon Kingdom, the addition of the two is the result of one plus one greater than three.

“There are no tombs here.”

Lu Yuan’s voice brought everyone back to reality from the shock.

“No tombs?”

“The oracle bones have been dug up, how can there be no ancient tombs?”

“Lean, Shang Dynasty’s!”

“I just checked, more than three thousand years, cow, how is this cultural relic preserved?”

Lu Yuandao: “Oracle bone script is a kind of divination script, to put it simply, it is an inscription used to record the progress and results of divination activities after the end of divination activities. ”

“I know that, but I doubt it.”

“Isn’t it realistic, the created text is only used for divination, and it is usually difficult to use?”

“Divination must only account for a part, so it should be used in normal times, right?”

Lu Yuan shook his head: “You don’t understand what I mean, of course it is used in normal times, but the question is, is the text usually used preserved?” ”

“These writings have survived thanks to their engraving on turtle shells and animal bones. And the words engraved on the bones are possible to preserve. So it is not that the text of that era must have been used for divination, but only the text used for divination has been preserved. ”

“Just like there is writing on the bronze ding of the pre-Qin dynasty, can you say that the pre-Qin script is only used to cast the ding? The bronze ding is just a carrier, the oracle bone is the same, and the animal bone is just a carrier. Words complement the carrier. ”

Lu Yuan looked at the turtle shell in his hand and said: “According to the characteristics of the oracle bones, the appearance of the oracle bones will inevitably accompany the corpse. These bodies were not martyred, nor were there any ancient tombs. ”

“Rather, sacrifice.”

He stood up, looked at the golden light more than a kilometer nearby, and said: “This piece should have been used for sacrifices back then, and it was a very large sacrifice. ”

“Sacrifices and kills?”

“The Shang Dynasty is so cruel?”

Lu Yuan said: “Yin Shang was like this until the early Zhou Dynasty, when most people were superstitious about ghosts and gods, and they had to ask questions about big and small things, and the content of divination ranged from the weather to the agricultural harvest. If you are not feeling well, you can divination, your daughter-in-law is pregnant and divination, hunting, war sacrifice and so on are even more important things, divination is essential. ”

“All in all, at that time, the first place was the ghost god, followed by the monarch, and people were also hierarchical. The people sacrificed and killed during the Yin Shang period were all Qiang people, and the beauties were not considered people at that time, and the merchants did not treat them as their own kind. In their eyes, there is no difference between Qiang and livestock. ”

He looked at the mutilated corpse in the dirt and said, “These words should be the corpses of the beautiful people at that time.” ”

Born in a theocratic society, you better pray that you are not a bad person, otherwise you will be killed as a tribute in addition to being sacrificed, or you will live in fear all day long.

People are inferior to animals, which is the truest portrayal of beauty at that time.

Lu Yuan probably knew the situation in this area.

The bottom floor is the place of local sacrifice during the Yin Shang period, where beauties were killed or even dismembered and used for sacrifice.

And it’s a very large sacrifice.

Although not all of them have been dug up, judging by the current scale, a sacrifice will not be less than a dry man, and there are also a large number of livestock.

This scale of sacrifice is either used to sacrifice ancestors or is a seasonality

Or war sacrifices.

The upper layer is the sacrifice of the Zhou Dynasty, and Lu Yuan initially judged that it should be in the early Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty in the middle and late stages is gradually abandoning the vice of human sacrifice, after all, it is to replace it with business, and then engage in human sacrifice, what is the difference between you and Yin Shang?

It is also a matter of time before it is overthrown.

Lu Yuan put Oracle aside and dialed Gu Deyong’s phone.

Since this is a place of sacrifice, there must be a large number of oracle bones.

And the place is too big and extremely deep, and he alone does not know to dig the monkey horse.

“Teacher Gu, I have dug up the oracle bone here, you will come when you bring some people.”

“Oracle?”

Gu Deyong was surprised: “Which dynasty?” Shang Dynasty or Zhou Dynasty? ”

“There should be both, the depth of distribution of corpses above and below is obviously different, I suspect that the upper is the Zhou Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty below.”

“Okay, you wait for me to call.”

The oracle bone has gone beyond the archaeological scope of Gu Deyong, and he is not very professional in this regard.

Lu Yuan’s time to discover Oracle is too short, and many people don’t know it.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Deyong immediately found the seconded archaeologist.

“Old Chen.”

Gu Deyong found an old man in his fifties: “Were you responsible for digging the Yin ruins at that time?” ”

Lao Chen snorted: “What’s wrong?” ”

Gu Deyong said: “Xiao Lu dug up the oracle bones, saying that it is Shang Zhou’s, you take someone over to take a look?” ”

Old Chen said, “Are you sure there is an oracle bone of the Shang Dynasty?” Where did he find it? ”

The birthplace of oracle bones is Anyang Yin Market, although other cities have also found it, but they are not as large as the oracle bones and capital ruins of Yin Wu, and the amount is not so much.

Because the territory of the capital of the Shang Dynasty was in such a territory, most of the Shang Dynasty relics were in a fixed area.

Beyond that range, it’s hard to say whether it’s or not.

Gu Deyong said: “It should still be in Taihang Mountain, and you can study the specific location yourself.” Xiao Lu is still very professional in this regard, he said that it is Shang Zhou’s oracle bone, it should not be wrong. In other words, are you going or not? No, I’m going. ”

He wanted to go by himself, but Bi Mo didn’t pass on his business.

“Go and go.”

Old Chen said, “You help me ask where he is, I’ll go over now.” ”

“Wait.”

Gu Deyong called back, and after determining the location, he told Lao Chen: “You bring more people over, Xiao Lu said that it was a place of sacrifice, and hundreds of corpses were dug up alone.” ”

“Oracle, it must be a sacrifice.”

Lao Chen nodded and began to order people.

Lu Yuan put the oracle bones aside and began to continue digging.

“Block!”

“You dug up [?] 】”

“The question mark of the system is very spiritual.”

Not the touch of a corpse, but also not the touch of an ancient tomb, more inclined to stone.

He opened the dirt next to him, and soon a distinctive, distorted and unseemly vessel was dug up.

The vessel is a delicate earth, with semi-rounded things peeking out of the dirt.

He took out the vessel, about thirty centimeters in size, looked at it for a while, and recognized it.

Inside the vessel are human heads.

It is also an object used for sacrifice.

Lu Yuan put the things back, climbed up, and continued to dig somewhere else.

In three hours, he dug up a third of this piece.

When the hoe touches the bone, it immediately dodges and continues to dig in a different place.

“Block!”

“You dug up [turtle shell]”

Peeling open the soil, a tortoise shell with unevenly distributed cracks is dug out.

It is engraved with glyphs of different shapes and sizes.

Oracle.

He continued to dig, and there were many turtle shells on the side, all of which were oracle bones.

He knew that he had dug up where the bones were buried.

The sacrifice may seem chaotic, but in fact there is a mature and clear set of steps

Burning turtle shells, divination, inscriptions, killing, killing livestock, sacrifices, burying corpses.

Every step has strict steps, which cannot be messed up or wrong.

After several hours of fermentation, everyone from all walks of life already knew that Lu Yuan had dug up the oracle bones.

At this moment, watching such a large number of oracle bones being dug up, one by one, the eyes are hot.

“Boom~”

The helicopter flew in, and Lao Chen landed with more than thirty people.

After landing, Lao Chen walked over quickly: “Xiao Chen.” Then I looked down and saw a large number of turtles and tigers. ”

Teacher Chen, take a look.

“Oh, good.”

Lao Chen walked over, squatted on the ground, picked up a turtle shell, and said with some excitement after a while: “It’s Oracle!” It should be oracle bones from the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. ”

Lu Yuan was a little surprised: “Teacher Chen can see this?” ”

Old Chen hesitated and said, “After dealing with Oracle for a long time, some things can be seen without testing. ”

He took out his mobile phone, flipped out the photo, put the mobile phone and the turtle shell on the ground, and pointed to the words on it: “After years of research, the oracle bone is divided into four periods, which can be seen from the text.” ”

“Look at this character, this is an oracle bone script that we excavated in Yin Wu, this is the text of the late Shang Dynasty. The calligraphy style of this era is strong and powerful, showing the atmosphere of ZTE, and in the more slender strokes, there is a very strong style. Looking at the piece you dug again, this piece is obviously Di Xin, or the early Zhou Dynasty. ”

“At this time, the calligraphy style tends to be rigorous, the length is longer, and there is no decadence disease. The most obvious thing is that there is Zhu Mo on the handwriting, do you look carefully, do you see it? ”

Lu Yuan nodded, there were indeed traces of Zhu Mo, very subtle, and he couldn’t see it without being careful.

Lao Chen said: “The handwriting is filled with Zhu Mo, we have only seen the oracle bone script at the beginning of the late Shang Zhou, the oracle bone script at this time is very mature, and it is also the pinnacle in art, which is simply a miracle in the history of books.” ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing, and it was difficult to talk about art with knife carving.

Lu Yuan took out the turtle shell dug up below: “Mr. Chen, take a look at this piece.” ”

Lao Chen took it, observed it for a while and said: “This should be the oracle bone text of Kangding, you see, the text on these oracle bones, the body of the book is not neat enough, the paragraphs are scattered, and there are even typos 0… You may not be able to see that. ”

Compare with a large number of unearthed oracle bones.

I have studied a lot, and everything is in my head.

Lu Yuan nodded, admiring in his heart.

That’s the big bull.

Oracle bone such a complex text, can remember so clearly, even without instrument detection, just a few words can determine the approximate era.

Lu Yuan also understood, but he did not study it in detail.

Old Chen said: “This piece should be the place where Shang Zhao was used for sacrifices, I checked the map when I came, this place is not far from Luoyang and Chaoge, it is very likely to be the place where the emperor sacrificed at that time.” Sacrifices on this scale are either sending troops to fight wars or sacrifices to ghosts and gods. The kings of the Shang Dynasty must go to the White Tiger Mountain of Taihang to worship the mountain, which is likely to be the place where the kings of the Shang Dynasty marched to worship the gods. ”

“In the late Zhou Dynasty, instead of it, the sacrifice was not broken, it may also be a large sacrifice when the late Shang period was about to die, which had to be sent to test the specific year to figure it out.”

Lu Yuan said, “Let’s dig first.” ”

“Well, dig first, and when the time comes, study the oracle bones, and you will know the general situation here.”

The words on the beast bones can directly and effectively restore the situation at that time, which is much higher than their guessing effect here.

Most of the places have already been dug up by Lu Yuan, and they only need to dig on the original basis.

That night, Lu Yuan dug out another piece and expanded the range of the site visible to the naked eye from three hundred meters to five hundred meters.

Lao Chen found that he had brought too little, and called again to second.

The next day, the archaeologists increased to seventy.

However, on this day, Lu Yuan expanded the range to nine hundred meters, and Lao Chen could only continue to second.

On the third day, the range of 1200 meters was dug up by Lu Yuan, and Lao Chen continued to be seconded.

On the fourth day, the number of archaeologists has reached 600, the efficiency of excavation has accelerated, and more and more cultural relics have been unearthed.

On the fifth day, more than 800 sacrificial corpses were unearthed, including 300 livestock and 43 sacrificial bronzes.

More than 1,300 pieces of oracle bones have been unearthed.

On the sixth day, there were more than 1,400 corpses and 600 livestock.

More than 3,100 pieces of oracle bones have been unearthed.

The number and scale are so large, except for the Yin Wu Oracle, there is currently no one that can compare.

However, compared with the terrifying number of more than 15 pieces of Yin Wu Oracle, it is still a huge difference.

Lu Yuan was busy digging every day, and Lao Chen called a large group of old professors to come over and translate the Oracle bone script.

Digging, translating two steps at the same time, like fire like tea.

“Block!”

“You dug up [Word Master]”

Lu Yuan went down with a hoe and dug up a new skill.

In other words, he would not look at it more, but would only feel chicken ribs.

But at this moment, it is clear how tired this limb can be.

At present, the oracle bone script found is about 4,500 words, and the translated ones are about 2,500 words, accounting for more than half.

The translation of each text is rigorous, and from rough determination to final determination, it can take two or three months, or even longer.

It’s not that you can feel like it.

Lu 5.6 yuan put down the hoe, jumped up, and walked towards the makeshift tent.

There were tables and chairs in the tent, and piles of papers on the tables.

A group of old professors are constantly translating, and the oracle bone text used for these sacrifices has a lot of overlap with the text that has been translated.

Although it has not been possible to translate all the oracle bones completely, it is this part that is enough to uncover a corner of this dusty history, allowing people to glimpse the era of gods and demons being high, the power of kings second, and being jokingly called the era of sealing gods by countless people.

“I’ll translate a sentence here.”

“I’ll translate a sentence here.”

“This piece only translates three words.”

“Stepping on the horse, I found a new word here.”

“Don’t turn it over, I’ll smoke a cigarette.”

The old professor’s emotions were provoked by these ghost drawings all the time, one second he was happy to see familiar words, and the next second he was thunderous when he encountered the new words he discovered for the first time.

got up, saw Lu Yuan, nodded and said hello, picked up a cigarette and went out

Lu Yuan sat down, picked up these photos in bone script and looked at them.

At this time, the above text automatically appeared in my mind, turning into a modern Chinese character that was automatically arranged without any cognitive impairment.

“Sang Jibu, Yin Zhen: Can you fight? Wang Zhanyu: Explosive people’s suffering, Tang extinguishing Xia Shang Wudao, substitute for the heavens! If called, the business dies. ”

Lu Yuan quickly translated it, and a big vernacular flashed in his mind: “The person called Yin Zhen divination, can he fight this battle, the king tested the sign pattern left after burning the tortoise shell, and after judging the foreshadowing of the appearance, he said that there was a person who called for a fight who was cruel and caused the people’s life to be very bitter, so he was destroyed by the soup.” Now there is no way to shang, and he wants to replace the heavens. If it is called the part of the testimony, the business death, that is, the result of divination has been fulfilled. ”

In just one sentence, the amount of information contained can be described as massive.

Most importantly, in this paragraph, there was a dynasty that was not recognized as existing by international historians – Yixia!
