Shuangjiao

Early in the morning, there was a sea of ​​people at the entrance of Linzhou Museum, and the long queue made several bends from the ticket gate to the open-air square.

However, even such a big sun could not stop the enthusiasm of the masses.

"There are so many people, when will it be our turn? I knew there would be many people, but I didn't expect there to be so many people!"

"I can't help it. Today is the first day of the excavation and display of the tombs of Wen Xueqing and Lingrou. It is said that the discoveries inside have changed the history books!"

Time was really hard to bear, and many people started chatting casually to pass the time.

The cemeteries of Wen Ling's family were originally separated, but as the number of clan members increased, they gradually became adjacent to each other.But with so many mausoleums, only Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou were buried together.

Regarding the deeds of the two, there are not many official historical records, and more are unofficial legends or recollections of their contemporaries or younger generations.But the experience of the two is too legendary, and countless works have been derived from later generations.

There are also many speculations about the relationship between the two.

Although it is not stated explicitly, a lot of evidence indicates that the two men were at odds before the Huns invaded Luoyang.Historians speculate that the two probably put aside their prejudices and began to cooperate during the process of fleeing together.

"Cooperation is cooperation. It's too strange to be buried together in the end. Why are the rest of Wen Ling's family not like this..."

"This was ordered by Liu Qiong. If you want to blame it, you can blame him, but he was raised by two people, and it is not clear whether he obeyed his last wish."

"What do you know? If it wasn't for the earthquake this time, the descendants of Wen Ling's family would not allow other people to approach, and the guards were very strict."

The long queue moved forward slowly, and finally passed the ticket check to enter the museum.

The guide held a microphone in his hand and explained to the tourists with a smile.

"Everyone knows that the Wenling family is the largest family in Linzhou. I believe that there are still a few people with these two surnames. The cultural relics in our exhibition this time are all things of our family, so please come back after visiting. Cherish your own things more.”

A crowd of tourists let out good-natured laughter.

The exhibition is divided into several parts, and the funerary objects are placed in various exhibition cabinets by category. After thousands of years, they are still glorious.

"This is the golden seal of the captain of Linzhou," the guide pointed to a golden seal in the glass showcase. "Many people once speculated that this golden seal had been lost or was buried in Wen Jiming's tomb, but in the end it was indeed in the tomb of the two of them." The tomb was discovered here. The discovery of this golden seal once again corroborated the records in the history books—most of the military power in Linzhou was in the hands of Wen Xueqing. As a woman, it was unimaginable at that time .”

A tourist raised his hand and asked, "Then Wei Su and Liu Xiancong asked Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou for this reason?"

"That's a good question," the narrator nodded and continued, "Historical records show that Wen Xueqing and Lingrou were called the 'Shuangjiao of Linzhou' at that time. It is very strict, ordinary people dare not even think about it, and the one who is qualified to marry them is a prince. At that time, the big families would marry each other, and a large part of it was to consolidate their power, so it is said that marrying A wife is not a matter of one person, but a matter of the family. Of course, it would be even better if he could marry a beautiful woman in the end."

"But if they want two at once, aren't they too greedy?"

"Well, maybe only children make choices." The guide shrugged, "After all, if these two can marry, the benefits they will bring are incalculable. After Liu Xiancong proclaimed himself emperor in the south, he The eagerness to marry Linzhou should also be for the purpose of consolidation."

"As for Wei Wang Wei Su, this one is notoriously eccentric. Back then, the golden platform was built, and it was said all over the world that it was to capture Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou. But... everyone knows that in the end, the golden platform was used as a reward point. Yes, many soldiers fought hard on the battlefield in order to have the glory of being on the golden platform, which greatly boosted morale."

Tourist: "Could it be that Wei Su wants the country and not the beauties, but he didn't proclaim himself emperor in the end. He was obviously suspicious in the early stage, but later supported Liu Qiong. Isn't this too strange?"

The guide patiently said: "This is also a doubtful point. We also found a large number of letters in the tomb this time, many of which are letters between Wen Xueqing and Wei Su. The tone of the two is very familiar, more like friends. We have Start to interpret and analyze, and I believe this doubt will be solved in the future.”

This rescue excavation has made the relationship between Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou more certain for future generations.

—The two were buried together in the same coffin.

"We found that the owner of the tomb didn't think the golden seal representing power was the most important thing, but it was placed in the ear chamber with other funerary objects, and the coffin of the tomb owner was placed in the back room in a separate room. Two funeral objects."

One flute and one piano were deliberately placed in the same showcase.

"Luoxia-style Guqin, this is the Guqin used by Ling Rou, it was given to Ling Rou by Wen Xueqing," the guide suddenly laughed, "Look carefully, everyone, the surface of this Guqin is mottled like clouds, and the broken lines are very dense , It’s a top-quality guqin——Wen Wulang gave it to Wen Xueqing, he once said in an article that Wen Xueqing’s flute sound is unmatched, so he specially gave her this guqin to give to her bosom friend.”

As for the Guxiao next to it, tourists can also know that it was given to Wen Xueqing by Ling Rou through the introduction on the card next to it.

Thousands of years later, these two precious ancient musical instruments can still play moving movements again.

According to the narrator's introduction, the excavation was accompanied by contemporary music scores.This is a very surprising discovery. In the future, the museum will invite famous artists to play these two instruments, make records or perform on important occasions and festivals, so that the general public can hear them.

"Everyone knows that Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou jointly raised Liu Qiong and the other children of Wen Ling's family. Among them, there are many famous ministers and generals. They are very grateful for their upbringing. This time We also selected relevant historical materials and cultural relics for the exhibition to help everyone better understand the personalities of Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou."

The guide took the tourists past the exhibits: "According to historical data, most of Wen Xueqing's influences were military generals. You can find that many generals admired her and thought she was very courageous. It is said that she once killed people. But since this is just the description of one of Wen Jiming's generals, the specific facts have yet to be verified."

There is a gold seal on his hand, although there is no official canonization, but since Wen Jiming has become the state shepherd, his closest sister is the tacit Linzhou Captain.

During her tenure, she also took charge of Shenhu, the largest port in Linzhou, and she shared these two powers with Lingrou.

After listening to the introduction of the guide, many tourists looked at each other and smiled.

The commentator raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he didn't finish speaking all at once.

There will be even bigger surprises to come.

There is also a special part of this exhibition.

The ancient and heavy stone gate entrance appears in front of tourists.

"This entrance is the tunnel of time and space, which can take everyone through the millennium, back to the era when Ling Rou and Wen Xueqing lived, and participate in a grand ceremony." The guide turned off the microphone, bowed, and turned to meet the next group of tourists, " The explanation ends here, thank you for coming, and wish you a happy viewing.”

"It's actually a mural!"

The first visitor to enter exclaimed.

The murals in the tomb passage often record the life of the owner of the tomb and the customs and customs of the era. They are precious cultural relics with very historical and artistic value.

Because of the timely rescue, these murals are well preserved, and the colors are still as bright as ever.

The flow of people is like weaving, and the cloth horse stilts surround a gorgeous tower.

A woman upstairs held a ball in her hand and looked down with her head. Another woman in red downstairs was riding a tall horse, looking at the woman upstairs from afar.

Some tourists understood: "This woman in red should be Wen Xueqing. She knows martial arts, and she was good at riding horses when she was young... Looking at the scene next to her, it should be a spring festival. The ancient festivals are so lively."

There are many characters in the whole painting, complicated but not complicated, and orderly.The details of each character are drawn extremely finely, and the picture is realistic and extremely vivid.

Tourists stopped to watch this huge mural carefully, and gave a sound of appreciation from time to time.

Beauty is common. Thousands of years have passed, and paintings still exude charm.

The tension between the needlepoint and the wheat awn between the women on the screen can still be felt by the contemporary people outside the screen.

The tourists continued to walk down, followed by the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the characters in the story were Wen Xueqing and Lingrou.

The bright moon was hanging high, they were playing the qin and flute, but one of them hid his face, and the other stretched out his hand slightly, as if to grab the person in front of him.

"Hey, so they are really at odds?"

The tourists couldn't help muttering. Many people were still immersed in the story of the murals. They were awakened by the sound and looked at the questioner one after another.

"Look carefully at this painting. Are the qin flutes on it the two from the display cabinet before?"

"Hey, it's true, the painter must have drawn too finely. If they are really at odds at this time, it's impossible for Qin and Xiao to appear at the same time..."

"I really want to know what they thought at the time..."

Tourists walked and watched all the way, discussing in whispers from time to time.

No one dared to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the people in the painting.

This is the last mural.

At dusk, the tall house is full of guests, and the guests are neatly dressed, waiting eagerly.

In the courtyard, the leaves of sycamore, pine and cypress are intertwined, and the red candle is burning high, as bright as day.

At the very center of the mural are two women.

The bright eyes are good at gazing, and the skirt flutters like a real fairy descending to the world.Fengguanxiapei, the most beautiful clouds in the sky have become the foil.

They stood facing each other and bowed.

All the tourists seem to have heard the distant chanting of the ritual official who has passed through the millennium:

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"
