My system is not decent

Chapter 1718

Now that he knew that the stall owner's family had a large number of unearthed cultural relics, Chen Wenzhe naturally didn't want these cultural relics to disperse.

Therefore, if the tomb is really complete, he really doesn't mind paying tens of billions to buy it.

But how many things were buried in an ancient tomb is really unclear.

He can only infer according to the tomb specifications of the Western Zhou Dynasty, such necessary things are indispensable.

"If I want to buy it, I'll buy the whole set. It's just some bronze wares and sarcophagus sarcophagus. Of course not. At least the pottery, jade, and gold wares buried with me must exist."

Chen Wenzhe didn't want to be too calculating, so he just spoke up if he had any ideas.

The stall owner was obviously taken aback. He really didn't expect Chen Wenzhe to be so greedy.

It's not that there are other things in his house, but there are some small items that they don't want to sell.

If it weren't for the bronzes being too eye-catching, if it wasn't for the sarcophagus and coffin that couldn't be hidden at all, how could these treasures of their family have caused so much trouble?
Therefore, the small precious cultural relics were well hidden by their family and have not been discovered.

However, now it seems that it cannot be hidden.

Their family was able to produce a complete set of nine tripods and eight gui, which naturally shows that at least one of the top tombs has not been stolen.

Since they had not been robbed and excavated, the cultural relics unearthed in the ancient tombs were definitely not what they are now.

The stall owner was a little embarrassed. His family had kept these treasures for more than a hundred years, so he naturally wanted to keep some as a souvenir.

However, if these treasures can't make their lives better, or even bring them life-threatening, then it's not worth keeping.

Looking at the silent stall owner, Chen Wenzhe was not in a hurry.

If he had such a large number of treasures, he would not be willing to sell them all.

Even if he was forced to do nothing, he still had to keep some of the most precious, or the easiest to hide treasures.

However, this family must have encountered difficulties, otherwise they have been preserved for more than a hundred years, and they will definitely continue to preserve it.

Looking for another player to make a move now must have encountered an irresistible factor.

Chen Wenzhe didn't want to take advantage of others, but he also didn't want to miss some treasures.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the bronze carriage alone, it is absolutely impossible to have two pieces of one piece.

You know, this is a group of ancient tombs. It's not like this kind of ancient tomb group has been discovered before, and there are detailed materials to prove it.

Even the mass of such ancient tombs can unearth anything that was buried under what system, which can be proved.

At least, it can be clearly known from the burial system of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The burial system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was a continuation of the Shang Dynasty.

They continue to implement the system of burials based on blood relations.

According to the records in "Zhou Li·Commentary", the family burial cemetery in this period has been clearly divided into two types: "cemetery" and "state tomb".

The cemetery is the cemetery of nobles such as the royal family and the monarch. It is managed by the family. The cemetery plan is formulated in advance, the scope of the cemetery is specified, and a pattern is drawn.

Afterwards, according to the patriarchal hierarchy, the Mu positions are arranged.

This is what is recorded in "Zhou Li Chunguan Zongbo": "The burial of the first king is in the middle, with Zhaomu as the left and right. All the princes live in front of the left and right, and the Qing, Dafu, and scholars live behind, each according to their clan. Those who died in the army , not a sign of the domain. Those who have meritorious service will be in the front. The degree of the title and the number of trees are determined by the rank and rank."

The tomb of the state is the cemetery of the nationals, which is under the control of the tomb doctor, and the tombs are also arranged according to the patriarchal relationship.

"Zhou Li Chunguan Zongbo" said: "The doctor of the tomb is in charge of the area of ​​​​the tomb of Fanbang, and he is the map. He ordered the country's national burial, and he took charge of its prohibition; it rectified its position, and took control of its degree, so that everyone has a private area. All disputes For those in the cemetery, listen to their prison lawsuits. Command their subordinates and patrol the tomb vigorously, and live in a room to guard them."

Zheng Xuan of the Han Dynasty explained: "The cemetery in the country is the place where all the people are buried."

The rulers of the Western Zhou Dynasty made the nationals implement family burials and continue to maintain kinship relations. On the surface, they wanted them to "be of the same clan, live similarly, and die together" to strengthen the unity of the same clan;
In fact, this method should be a reflection of the political, economic, military and social organization forms at that time, and its purpose is to facilitate the ruler's rule.

The "cemetery" system implemented within the nobles clearly applied the patriarchal hierarchy.

For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty Zheng Xuan's commentary "Zhouli·Commentary" records that "children and grandchildren are kings according to their birth, and they are placed before and after them according to their dignity", which is the most fundamental principle in the "cemetery" system.

Obviously, the ruler's regulations on the order of the dead's tombs were precisely to consolidate and strengthen the mutual position among the living nobles at all levels.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, class divisions had already appeared within the Zhou clan.

Especially in the aristocratic cemeteries of Wei, Yan, Guo and other countries surnamed Ji, the owners of small tombs are not of the same class as those of large and medium-sized tombs.

The "cemetery" system covered up this class relationship with clan patriarchal relationships such as concubine, elder and younger, and closeness.

Therefore, this "cemetery" system serves the fundamental interests of the nobility.

According to analysis, this kind of standardized burial system with blood relationship as the link did exist in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

For example, Baoji Fighting Terrace in Xishan, and Zhangjiapo and Guo cemeteries in Fengxi, Chang'an, are in the nature of "cemetery".

In the Doujitai cemetery in Baoji, Xishan, there is a family cemetery consisting of 36 Western Zhou tombs.

In terms of their arrangement, the cemetery can be divided into groups ranging from 2 to 6 tombs.

According to the judgment of some experts, there is probably a very close blood relationship among the various groups, and they may be different families within the same large family.

The 48 Western Zhou tombs found in Zhangjiapo, Jinxi, Chang’an, can also be divided into three groups. Each group seems to form a unit, but it is difficult to separate them completely.

In Xin Village, Jun County, Nanhe, there is a cemetery of the Wei State from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty with an area of ​​about 15 square meters.

此地发现有大型墓8座、中型和小型墓29座、小型墓28座以及2座车马坑和12座马坑。

According to the literature records, it should be a "cemetery".

Another example is the 41 tombs excavated in the noble tombs of the Yan Kingdom on the Huangtupo of Liulihe, Fangshan, Shendu. They can be divided into 6 groups, belonging to different families within the same clan.

Some groups have a relatively large tomb, perhaps the tomb of a patriarch or patriarch.

The 234 tombs discovered in the Guo State cemetery in Shangcunling, SMX City, Nanhe, were all arranged in a north-south direction, and there were almost no overlapping relics, obviously after a certain planning.

The cemetery is divided into three groups: north, south and middle. Each group has large, medium and small tombs.

Obviously, in the cemetery of the nobles of the Yan State and the cemetery of the Guo State, the large tombs are the main body, and the medium and small tombs are often arranged in a supporting position, indicating that they are all "cemeteries".

Chen Wenzhe had seen the tomb pit in the photo provided by the stall owner, and could easily tell that it was also a cemetery.

It's not even the cemetery of a big family. The situation over there must be more complicated, involving several situations, which have been analyzed before.

However, no matter what the situation is, it represents a large number of large-scale and supporting large quantities of precious cultural relics.
