President's Legendary Master

Chapter 133 Four Square Bronze Gui

And the other side tomb is probably the real hard bone.

One side is a woman, and the other side must be a man!

Women are a relatively weak group. Even after death, unless it is a big grievance, a big injustice, or a big hatred, etc., it will drive a woman's soul into a ghost.

Men are born with strong yang energy. After death, they are mixed with yin energy, and they are the easiest to become ghosts, and they are quite powerful.

Don't look at all the ghost movies that are full of female ghosts and voluptuous corpses, they are all for attracting people's attention, look at those real ghost stories, which ghost king is not a man?

The little celestial master was still chattering endlessly with Dugu Haoyan, and his brainstorming had reached level [-].

Hearing this, Dugu Haoyan wanted to have fun.

But the next day, there was still something to prepare. Taking advantage of the time, the two of them prepared everything.

Professor Wang Yishui and the others are still cleaning the side tomb on the east side.

They named this side tomb, "Concubine Side", which means that all the concubines who were buried were buried in this side tomb.

Moreover, the twelve coffins they cleared were all stone coffins with red pine inner and outer coffins. There were many funerary objects, but they were all things for women.

Between each coffin and the inner coffin, there is a large bronze mirror, three or five sapphire hairpins, five or six bone ornaments, and seven or eight clam flowers, which are head flowers made of clam shells, and there are not many colors. Gorgeous, mainly green, mostly black jade, followed by yellowish brown, brown, and some tea green, which can be regarded as bright, and the lightest color is light green.

There are not many varieties of love, and the headdress is a hairpin,

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, both men and women marked their adulthood by inserting a hairpin. "Rituals" records: "When a woman reaches the age of fifteen, she wears a bun and inserts a hairpin, which means she is an adult and can be married. A ceremony is held, which is called Yin Qiangjian."

After the Han Dynasty, the wearing of hairpins was no longer restricted by strict etiquette systems, and developed in various forms.

From the perspective of materials alone, there are bones, stones, pottery, mussels, thorns, bamboo, wood, jade, copper, gold, ivory, horns and tortoise shells, etc. The head of the hairpin may be carved with decorative patterns such as flowers and birds. , or embellished with jewels and jade.

But there are not many styles, only simple and elegant, some things have rotted away, the silk thread wearing the orb has turned to ashes, and the whole jewelry will fall apart when picked up.

You need to take a photo first, then take it out, and then use the silk thread to thread the beads as it is, and repair the jewelry again.

The little celestial master came down to watch the excitement: "Has everything been cleaned up?"

"It's almost cleaned up, the only thing missing is the cauldron in the middle." Fang Xinhan was very friendly to the little celestial master. Although he was in a daze at the time, he vaguely remembered that it was the little celestial master who brought him back. The dream is not like a dream experience, he will not tell anyone, as long as he knows in his heart who his "savior" is.

"That's not called a tripod." The little celestial master laughed, "That's called a gui."

"Ghost?" Everyone was startled, and they were all overwhelmed.

Some people just need to smear the soles of their feet with oil, it's better to slip away first, even Professor Wang Yishui's hands are shaking a little.

"It's the gui with the bamboo prefix used for eating, not a ghost." The little celestial master hurriedly explained: "Everyone, don't be nervous."

"Mr. Zhang!" Chen Changgeng wailed, "Do you know that people are scary, scary to death!"

You are a master, don't easily say something that makes people misunderstood, okay?

"I know, I know." The little celestial master nodded hastily: "I have handled a case of a wealthy family competing for inheritance. At the beginning, it was artificially pretending to be a ghost, and then it was Qiqihuihunye, and the dead person was invited. Apparition, re-wrote the will, let them stop."

Everyone choked, and someone asked curiously, "Is it true?"

"It's true." Seeing the grievance of the little Heavenly Master, Dugu Haoyan opened his mouth and said, "I went with him, it was a farce of a wealthy family."

He didn't mention his name, so let's save face for the Yu family.

This is not a good person or a good thing, and it is worth publicizing.

"Wow!"

"We don't understand the world of the rich." Fang Xinhan shook his head.

"We don't understand the world." Chen Changgeng also sighed very much.

"Did you miss the first four words?" Fang Xinhan looked at his senior brother suspiciously: "I don't seem to mean that."

"I'm happy!" Chen Changgeng said with a very righteous attitude, "What's the matter?"

Fang Xinhan immediately snickered and said: "Okay, okay, okay! The older ones take advantage, and you have the final say when you are older."

"That's right, you don't even look, who is standing there." A senior brother next to him also said, "A rich man!"

He was referring to Dugu Haoyan.

Everyone laughed in unison.

In fact, it was hard for everyone to believe in the contact these few days, because Dugu Haoyan was not what they thought.

They all thought that he was the eldest son of a rich family, the first heir to the property.

Don't talk about drinking Lafite from [-], at least drink red wine, hug a beauty or something?

In the end, Dugu Haoyan drank soup and ate with them, and the one he hugged was not a beauty, and he didn't see how sticky he was with the little celestial master.

Although they are a couple, they are not disgusting. On the contrary, they feel that they are a good match.

One is handsome and the other is delicate.

The two people who are clean are different from those who drilled into the ancient tomb. Even if the two of them go down to the tomb together, they still look very refreshed. They are the only ones who are gray all day long. Go and wash it, this is the rule of the little heavenly master, they are not allowed to spend the night with any dust or grave soil from the tomb, and they are not allowed to sleep without a bath.

Later, some people thought it was troublesome. They were engaged in archaeology, and sometimes they slept when they lay down in gray clothes. In particular, ancient tombs are usually located in some remote places. The living conditions in those places are not very good, and it is impossible. Take a shower every day.

But the little celestial master insisted, and Dugu Haoyan even used some means to build a public shower room for them, both men and women, but there were only four shower heads for the ladies, because there were so few girls!

Twelve on the men's side!

Wash and shower every day.

At first, Professor Wang Yishui didn't quite understand why he loves cleanliness so much?

But the little celestial master told them: "Lie down with the tomb soil, you also want to be buried in the ancient tomb for the owner of the tomb?"

Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare not listen to his words, and they had to take a shower every day.

Now these people are used to it, they don't feel any distance when they see Dugu Haoyan, and they can still joke with him.

Dugu Haoyan spread his hands: "I worked hard, I succeeded, and became a rich man."

"You have the money, you have the final say." Everyone said in unison. Everyone knew that he was a successful person who started his own business, but it is rare for the third generation of rich people who have money to start their own business.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and at the same time gathered together, looking at the huge bronze tripod-shaped gui in the middle.

This gui placed in the middle of the table has the motif of Taotie patterns on the abdomen and the side of the square seat;

The two sides are decorated with inverted Kui pattern; the ring foot is decorated with Kui pattern belt, which looks very unified;

The four corners of the square seat are decorated with cicada patterns; all of them use cloud and thunder patterns as the background to set off the theme.

The shape of the animal face on the square seat is similar to the main animal pattern on the abdomen of the Li Gui.

Careful observation reveals that the ring foot of the Li Gui is also decorated with Kui dragon patterns, which circle the Li Gui in a two-sided continuous pattern, and the four corners of the square seat are decorated with cicada patterns.

The three patterns of animal face, dragon, and cloud and thunder are decorated on the bronze gui together, with smooth and clear lines, adding a bit of dignity and mystery to this solemn and solemn bronze gui.

"The shape of this gui is similar to that of the Western Zhou Dynasty's Li Gui, but it is much larger than the Li Gui." Professor Wang Yishui carefully cleaned the dust on the Gui: "Is this a dinner party?"

"This is a funeral, and a dinner together." The little celestial master was speechless.

"There are words on this gui!" Fang Xinhan cleaned the bottom, and there were some words on the square seat.

"What text?" Archaeologists are basically interested in this kind of thing.

"I do not know!"

"It doesn't look like a bronze inscription."

Bronze inscription is the name of a type of calligraphy in the Zhou and Shang dynasties, referring to the inscriptions cast on the bronzes of the Yin, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The Shang and Zhou dynasties were the age of bronze wares. Bronze ritual vessels were represented by tripods, and musical instruments were represented by bells. Therefore, generally speaking, "bells and tripods" are synonymous with bronze wares.

In the Xia Dynasty, the Bronze Age had already entered, and the technology of copper smelting and copperware manufacturing was very developed.

Because copper was also called gold in the Zhou Dynasty, the inscriptions on the bronze wares were called "Jin Wen" or "Auspicious Jin Characters"; ".

The application of bronze inscriptions has a history of more than 800 years from the end of the Shang Dynasty to the eradication of the six kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty.

And they are generally inscribed on bronze.

From the Xia and Shang Dynasties to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Jin Wen gradually prospered, and there were many records about the events of the Son of Heaven, such as King Zhao's southern tour and King Mu's hunting west.

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, the imperial edicts were written in the same language, and steles were erected in all directions. The characters used were all in small seal script, and inscriptions were no longer engraved on the bells and tripods, so the inscriptions in gold gradually declined.Until the Han Dynasty, the folks mostly cast inscriptions on iron wares, and bronze wares were no longer used.

Bronze inscriptions have not been seen in history because of their special carrying method.

It's just that the recognizable bronze inscriptions sorted out by the archaeological community today only have more than 400 characters.

And these two thousand and 400 characters may not all be correct, and there are more than 3000 characters, and I don't know what they mean at all.

"These words should be newly discovered, right? Hurry up, Li Ai, get them down, hurry up, and, these should be newly discovered words." Professor Wang Yishui instructed everyone excitedly: "Clean up all the dust. , Move this thing out. This is a national treasure!"

As a result, these excited archaeologists came up with seven or eight strong young men, but they didn't even move!

"One, two, three!" He yelled, but the bronze gui remained motionless.

At the beginning, there were five people in three years, and then a few more people came over, and seven or eight young men didn't move at all.

"Wait, wait!" Professor Wang Yishui quickly stopped: "Such a thing shouldn't be too heavy, right? So many of you are crowded here, what are you doing?"

"No, mentor, this is very heavy, can we move it?"

"Yeah, none of us can move."

Professor Wang Yishui looked at the huge bronze gui: "Could it be more than 1000 catties? No way? I remember that the Tenghou Gui was only less than 120 catties. This one is bigger, but it is also bigger than the one unearthed in Baoji in 100." That gui is smaller! That one is said to be called "Hau Fu Gui", which is a sacrificial vessel made by King Zhou Li, the tenth king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, for sacrificing ancestors. It weighs [-] kilograms, or [-] jin. The largest piece in the gui is called "the king of the gui", how many of you guys can't handle more than [-] catties?"

If it weighs more than 1000 catties, he may still feel that his students can’t handle it. It’s only more than 100 catties, and it’s estimated to be less than [-] catties.

What a joke!

"I really can't hold it."

"Is there anything else to say here?"

"Did it just sit on the ground, extend to the ground, and connect with this table?"

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that they can't hold it?

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the words." The little celestial master pulled people aside: "Let me see that this is...the gui of the king's banquet...for the imperial concubine..."

"Do you know the words on it?" Professor Wang Yishui pulled the little Tianshi's arm excitedly: "What does it say?"
