Chapter 1772 Five thousand bamboo hairpins

For example, in the local chronicles of Linzhang County, HD City, Beihe, when the local office was sorting out the old chronicles, they accidentally found a map of Linzhang County in the 35th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

The tomb of Cao Cao, the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, is actually marked in the picture, which is located in Xiwen Village, Xiwen Township, Xiwen Township, the county.

This picture has a history of 246 years. The paper has long been yellowed and the edges are often damaged, but most of the writing is clearly visible.

The famous Jinfeng Terrace, Tongque Terrace, and Bingjing Terrace are marked in the picture, as well as the villages, rivers, and tombs in Linzhang.

This is basically consistent with the current map, so before the Qing Dynasty, the tomb of Cao Cao, the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of Wei, was accurately marked in the south of Xiwen Village.

In this way, two tombs of Cao Cao appeared. As for the tomb of Cao Cao on the bright side, it was too easy to be destroyed, which is also a doubtful point.

So how many things were buried with Cao Cao's so-called thin burial?

Now more than 250 artifacts have been unearthed from Cao Cao's tomb in Gaoling, Anyang, including gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, stone, ancient, lacquer, pottery, mica and other textures.

The utensils mainly include copper belt hooks, iron armors, iron swords, iron arrowheads, jade beads, crystal beads, agate beads, stone kui, stone walls, stone pillows, engraved stone plaques, pottery figurines, etc.

Among them, a total of 59 pieces of inscribed stone plaques were unearthed, including rectangles and Gui shapes. The inscriptions recorded the names and quantities of the funerary objects.

There are 8 pieces that are extremely precious, and they are engraved with inscriptions such as "Wei Wu Wang often used tiger halberds" and "Wei Wu king often used tiger short spears".

On a stone pillow that was stolen and unearthed from the tomb, the inscription "Wei Wu Wang often used comfort stones" was engraved.

These unearthed written materials provide an important and most direct historical basis for research to determine the identity of the tomb owner.

This is a cultural relic unearthed from Gaoling in Anyang. The reason why such a discovery was made must be related to the robbery and excavation of previous dynasties.

It's a pity that this large tomb has been robbed and excavated so thoroughly that the official archaeologists don't even know of his existence, so they can't prove anything.

Again, as we all know, Cao Cao was suspicious during his lifetime.

He has also done the business of commanding the army to dig graves, so he also knows the disadvantages of thick burials.

In order to be able to make myself peaceful after a hundred years, the literary works deliberately describe the funeral of Cao Cao in 72 coffins at the same time after his death, in order to portray the image of a traitor.

It can also be seen from this that Cao Cao must be able to think of setting up suspicious tombs and imitating tomb robbery.

Since it can be imagined, why is Cao Cao's tomb easily robbed?

Therefore, even Chen Wenzhe didn't think that the tomb that the tomb robbers dug up was really Cao Cao's tomb.

He didn't think Cao Cao would build 72 suspicious tombs, but he could still build three or five suspicious tombs.

As for the things buried inside, are those things really precious to a land king?
Cao Cao tried so hard to do this, will he end up with the grave being stolen?

So, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

As the residence of a generation of celebrities, the Gaoling of Cao Cao that has been found now bears the same fate as the tombs of previous dynasties, and has never escaped the clutches of tomb robbers.

This is obviously not normal. According to experts, the tomb of Cao Cao's Gaoling was seriously stolen, and there were many robbery holes.

The dating results show that the robbery holes in the tombs are of different ages, ranging from the Three Kingdoms period to the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, a question naturally arises, what cultural relics have survived in the Gaoling of Cao Cao, King Wu of Wei?

After a careful inventory, you will find that there are only a total of more than 200 burial objects surviving in the tomb.

Including gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, stone, ancient, lacquer, pottery, mica and other textures.

Among them, the characteristic cultural relics mainly include copper belt hooks, iron armor, iron swords, jade beads, crystal beads, agate beads, stone turtles, stone walls, and stone pillows, etc.

At the same time, some important funerary objects with higher specifications were unearthed at the same time.

There are as many as 8 of them in total, including the stone tablets "often used by King Wu of Wei", which are obviously not all of them.

It is worth mentioning that although the cultural relics in Cao Cao's Gaoling have been rediscovered, they have been stolen and excavated in a mess.

Archaeological experts are still unable to determine the type and quantity of its original burial objects.

Will this mystery remain forever?The answer is not.

Because during the excavation, the archaeologists also found a "treasure" - an inscribed stone tablet.

What is the function of engraved stone tablets?To put it simply, it is more like a "ledger", recording the list of funerary objects in Gaoling.

What are the items recorded on the engraved stone tablet?Whether it is really a thin burial depends on this.

This account book is also very interesting, for example, it starts with two liters of soybeans.

The appearance of the word "soybean" began in the works "Kaiyuan Zhanjing" and "Youyang Zazu" in the Tang Dynasty.

Prior to this, the ancients used the words "soybean" and "soybean" all in terms of bean and soybean.

That is to say, among the funeral objects, there are two liters of "soybeans" among the whole grains.

Then there is the knife ruler-x, the word "x" is a blurred and damaged font.

According to expert analysis, the knife ruler may be a kind of ancient ruler, similar in shape to a knife, and belongs to the measuring utensils.

Then there are two catties of Hufen, which is pepper powder, a spice that was trafficked to the Central Plains by merchants in the Western Regions, probably for the purpose of embalming corpses.

Other records make it difficult to understand the price comparison, such as the five-foot Lai thin machine.

What exactly is a five-foot lai thin machine?At present, experts are still unable to confirm, speculating that it may be a tool to reduce the thickness of the utensils.

There is also trowel raisin, so what exactly is trowel raisin?
So far, there are disputes in the archaeological circle. Some archaeological experts believe that this object should be a special kind of farming tool.

However, some experts objected, thinking that it might be the head decoration of ancient women.

In addition to these things, there is another picture, such as a Danwen straight collar and four pairs of white skirts.

Undoubtedly, from the literal meaning, "Danwen straight collar" should be a straight collar clothing decorated with red pen writing.

The "Bai Qi Skirt" is a dress made by Luo Qi.

In addition to these things, there is also cloth, like "four feet wide, five feet long, one crimson silk tent, and four pairs of structures".

This object was preliminarily identified as a "three-piece bed set", which belonged to the bedding of the ancients.

These things are still considered ordinary things. To truly explain Cao Cao's so-called thin burials are only luxurious, we still have to look at his accessories.

For example, there are five thousand bamboo hairpins. As the name suggests, bamboo hairpins are hairpins made of bamboo.

But Cao Cao is the king of Wei Wu, why does he need a bamboo hairpin?
It is really puzzling, and what is even more suspicious is why the tomb robbers, who have always regarded money as their life, swept away these worthless bamboo hairpins?It's also worth digging into.

And the most worthy of study must be why five thousand bamboo hairpins are used?

How many mysteries are there in Cao Cao's tomb?It is not known until now, but what is certain is that with the continuous advancement of archaeology, some mysteries will eventually be solved.

This is the Cao Cao Gaoling that was discovered. The treasure that Chen Wenzhe saw must not come from this one, but from another one.
