We looked at each other and couldn't believe that the main tomb chamber we had been waiting for for so long appeared in front of us.
"It's worth it, this life is worth it!"
Bai Shui, a history expert with a usually calm temperament, was so excited that he almost jumped up at this moment, making no secret of his joy. He looked at Lin Jianye and then at his teammates behind him, his eyes filled with tears.
The hardships, obstacles, and even sacrifices we encountered along the way became insignificant at this moment.
Lu Baoping sighed sadly: "How great would it be if Heimu could see this scene?"
Qiu Xiuxiu comforted: "He will see it, he will definitely see it, we are his eyes."
I believe that if Heimu knew that we had really found the main tomb chamber, he would never regret the decision to go to the tomb. After all, we were so determined!
Lao Jiang was worried that there would be some trap, so he took the initiative to walk at the front of the team with He Lanxue, but their faces were obviously not very good-looking.
Baishui and Qiu Xiuxiu knew that they were injured, so they took the initiative to get closer, as if they didn't want us to take risks for them anymore. Platoon leader Zhang had already picked up the submachine gun and reloaded it.
Although he had not completely recovered from the grief of losing his comrades at this time, his eyes were staring at this dazzling palace without blinking, and he seemed to be attracted...
When we opened the palace door, we truly understood what grandeur is!
This is an unprecedented palace. Although it has gone through thousands of years, it has not changed at all its original grace and splendor.
Under the feet is a white jade slab with an error of less than a millimeter, surrounded by bronze pillars engraved with Taotie patterns. Even the top of the head is inlaid with turquoise, malachite, pearls and other jewelry. Being among them is like wandering in the embrace of the stars in the sky.
Baishui couldn't restrain his excitement. He grabbed Qiu Xiuxiu's arms and shouted, "Did you see it? We did it. We finally entered the Yin Ruins in our lifetime."
"I am the great Hua Xia, a great businessman, and every stroke is my backbone."
He was completely immersed in this exquisite bronze palace. This palace seemed to be a three-dimensional Shang Dynasty version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". There were small scaled-down buildings in each corner in the west, simulating the customs and customs of that year. .
There is also a group of lifelike little clay figures on each small building. They cooperate with each other and are working hard.
Baishui took the initiative to assume the role of commentator, pointed to the nearest small building and said, "Did you see it? That's the copper foundry of the Shang Dynasty.
Those villains were simulating the entire process of molding, casting, sawing, and polishing. Through these methods, they could create the most advanced bronzes of that era. This was the legendary lost wax method. "
"You know, Western historical circles generally believe that India was the first to invent the lost wax method, but our merchants were 2,500 years earlier than India, ten centuries ahead of them!"
When talking about these knowledge points, Baishui's face was filled with pride as a Chinese. Lu Baoping pestered Lin Jianye and asked him to pinch himself: "Oh my God! This is something I don't even dare to dream about on weekdays. , I actually saw them all today.”
Lu Baoping smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, seeming to be crying with joy.
Baishui patted his shoulder, then continued to point to the miniature building in the other corner: "This should be the jade making workshop."
Oracle bone inscriptions record that in the Shang Dynasty, jade and shell coins were symbols of wealth. Owning jade undoubtedly meant having a lot of wealth. At this time, jade workshops were all controlled by the royal family. This also resulted in the jade in the Yin and Shang period being both Both craftsmanship and quantity have remained at the top level for five thousand years.
The other two are the pottery workshop and the sacrificial workshop.
Although the pottery of the Yin and Shang dynasties is not very famous, it is worth mentioning that the people of the Shang Dynasty were already able to skillfully use colored glaze to burn a layer of glaze on the surface of the pottery, thus making the pottery civilization another step forward.
Not to mention the sacrificial workshop. Businessmen do divination for everything. For them, sacrificial rituals are as important as eating and sleeping.
Baishui was filled with admiration: "How magnificent is our Chinese civilization? Thousands of years ago, they only did one thing in their lives, and that's why they had national treasures that shocked both China and foreign countries!"
Although they span thousands of years, the discovery of some treasures still moves us and brings tears to our eyes.
And this is the power of cultural relics, which allows us to communicate with the ancients across time and space, and feel the heartbeat and trembling of the other party.
The years have changed, and the sea has changed.
The black bird brought faith to the merchants and allowed them to build a strong country.
Generations of Shang kings forged ahead for their homeland. Although in the end the country was burned to ashes and the Yin Shang Dynasty turned into Yin Ruins, some things remain unchanged forever.
They always stand here in the Yin Ruins, telling us the stories of those years across the long river of time!
Qiu Xiuxiu said with emotion: "This is why I became an archaeologist."
Although I am not an archaeological expert, seeing Baishui and Qiu Xiuxiu looking like they were about to cry, I also know what the discovery here means to Hua Xia...
Is that pride enough to shock the world?
For five thousand years, the fire has been passed down from generation to generation, and apart from us, China, there is no one else in the world.
Bai Shui wiped his eyes, trying to calm down his emotions, but when he glanced at the densely packed burial objects on the left, he was so shocked that he took several steps back.
"That... that's..." He stretched out a trembling hand and saw several bronze vessels placed there from left to right, with a majestic and huge bronze tripod at the front.
And behind them are Gui, Gu and Jue respectively.
The attention of everyone present was attracted by the tripod, because it was more than one meter high. The entire tripod was square, eye-catching green, and the west side was covered with Taotie patterns.
Lao Jiang narrowed his eyes and his expression became serious!
Lu Baoping shouted anxiously: "Baishui, could this be the legendary Wuding, the stepmother of Zhenguo!"
Bai Shui nodded and said: "100%25 it is it. How many other miracles are hidden in this mysterious Yin Ruins? In Shang culture, the tripod is used to cook meat; the gui is used to hold food; and the goblet is used to hold wine. "Jue is used for drinking. In addition to daily functions, these actually represent a cultural order, which is to warn you to follow the word 'etiquette' when eating and drinking."
"This tripod is placed at the front, which means it is the most noble and important. It is enough to prove the identity of the tomb owner."
It turns out that it was recorded in previously unearthed history books that after Fu Hao's death, King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty used all his power to build a sacred artifact for the country: the Stepmother Wu Ding, which weighed more than 800 kilograms and is currently the largest and heaviest in the world. Bronze ritual vessel.
But because it has not been unearthed for a long time, many experts believe that the Stepmother Wuding may not exist at all.
Because to cast more than 800 kilograms of bronze, the raw materials require at least countless tons of copper ore. How big a furnace is needed? What exquisite craftsmanship? It is difficult to make it with current technology, let alone the business of more than 3,000 years ago.
"Wu Ding may be good to his wife and loves her to the core." Qiu Xiuxiu suddenly sighed and said such a sentence. He could build the Zhenguo Stepmother Wu Ding at all costs. Wu Ding really wanted to leave the best things in the world to his wife.
How does this emperor cherish his wife and grow old with only one person in his life?
Baishui was so excited that he called Lao Jiang's name and asked him to quickly take pictures of everything around him with his camera.
"Please, these are the precious treasures left to us by our ancestors." After saying this, Baishui was already crying.
We turned our attention to the right, where there was a neat row of jade articles, and a dragon-patterned ax carved from jade, showing infinite power, but there were many gentle and delicate women's jewelry behind it.
For example, the jade hairpin that fixed the bun was equivalent to the hairpin in later generations. The top of the hairpin was also engraved with a phoenix and bird pattern, which should have been the jewelry that Fu Hao liked during her lifetime.
Then there are jade combs, earrings and so on.
These are all placed in order from top to bottom, and they should also follow etiquette.
In the center of the main hall stands a white jade statue of a woman. The statue is natural without any gaps. It should be carved from a single piece of white jade. The woman is extremely beautiful, with a face as thick as gelatin, lips like cherry blossoms, eyebrows like ink paintings, and a spirit like autumn water. She is agile and has a heroic spirit, like an unearthed hibiscus in bud, which makes people dream, but not... Dare to blaspheme.
She thrust out a long sword with her left hand, and held up a dragon-shaped jade pendant in her right hand. I don't know whether it was due to the light or the wonderful design of the craftsman. Although the face was almost symmetrical from side to side, at first glance, it looked half murderous and half gentle, which exactly corresponded to what she was holding.
Of course, women are good wives, there is no doubt about this, after all, the aura of the female war goddess in her body briefly transports us to the battlefield of the Shang Dynasty. But when you only look at half of her face, it is as gentle as water, showing the woman's unique beauty to the fullest.
It can be said that Fuhao perfectly combines majesty and gentleness. No wonder she is favored by Wu Ding.
Bai Shui suddenly frowned and said, "This seems to be different from the image of Fu Hao recorded in history books! The weapon Fu Hao always uses is clearly a huge bronze axe, but how could she..."
"No, look carefully at Fu Hao's feet." Lao Jiang suddenly reminded her.
Under the sculpture, there were black hands supporting the woman's feet. No, they were not lifting her to be precise, but they were holding her tightly, as if they wanted to pull her into the endless abyss...
And if you look carefully, you can find that the sword in Fuhao's hand is actually stabbing those lifelike black hands.
Lu Baoping asked in surprise: "How could a good woman appear in the tomb in such an image? There must be a deep meaning behind it!"
Bai Shui once again looked around at the ritual vessels in the main tomb chamber and fell into deep thought.
He murmured: "Could it be that there was a secret history that we didn't know about during the Shang King Wu Ding's period? Fuhao held a jade pendant in one hand and stabbed those terrifying black hands with a sword in the other, as if to imply that she was holding rituals and waging war against the gods and ghosts. …”
But at that time, didn’t the Yin and Shang Dynasties have a strong worship of gods and ghosts?
What secret is hidden behind this?
