My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 305 When Lu and Xi Zhen

Hearing what Ding Jianhui said, Fang Xing became even more skeptical. He felt that the reservoir was weird from the beginning.

The people around and the audience in Xu Qing's live broadcast room were all dumbfounded when they heard this.

Didn't the river that feelings see now pass through here?Did the ancients deliberately divert rivers?It must be to cover up something, it feels like there is no silver 300 taels here.

"I can't bear it, I have to drain it and have a look."

"Maybe, there is an ancient underwater city below!"

"Brother, how big is this reservoir? Is it an ancient underwater city? It may be an ancient tomb at most. However, it's not possible! Building an underwater tomb is not easy to preserve, let alone burial objects. !"

"Isn't there a kind of water burial?"

……

Seeing the uproar in the live broadcast room, Liu Shijun was speechless, and thought to himself: Water burial is possible, but not this method of burial.

Burial is a relatively ancient burial method in the world, that is, the burial method in which the body of the deceased is thrown into rivers, lakes and seas.

Water is the source of human life, and people have infinite yearning and reverie for water.In many myths, water is connected with gods, happiness, beauty and immortality.Therefore, when burying dead relatives, people naturally think of water burial.

There are generally three different ways of water burial in the world: corpse floating, river throwing, and ashes scattering.

The so-called floating corpse style is to place the dead body on a specially made death boat, put it into rivers, lakes and seas, and let it drift naturally.Wherever it drifts, there is a beautiful destination for the dead.

In the river-throwing style, the dead body is carried to the river and dismembered, then thrown into the river, or the body is wrapped with cloth, dropped on a large stone and thrown into the river to worship the river god.

This method is still popular in snow areas.

The ash-spreading method is easy to understand. It is first cremated, burned to ashes, and then scattered into rivers, lakes and seas.

These three methods are not to build a mausoleum underwater!

Of course, that's not to say there aren't underwater mausoleums.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the Ming Zu Mausoleum, that is, the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang.However, it is a bit special. It was not originally built underwater, but it sank to the bottom of Hongze Lake for special reasons.

The water level of Hongze Lake continued to drop and approached the dead water level. The ruins of the Wailuo City Wall, the first mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, which had been sleeping underwater for 300 years, gradually emerged from the water. Among them were 250 pairs of stone elephants lying in the muddy water.

It is reported that in order to protect the cultural relics under the tunnels and arches of the underground palace, the local government urgently dispatched water from the Huaihe River for irrigation, and the tunnels and arches of the underground palace of the Ming Zu Mausoleum returned to the water.

In addition, the mausoleum of Haihunhou was also flooded.

However, none of them were originally built underwater, it was just a coincidence.

After all, because water is not conducive to the preservation of items, few people build their tombs underwater.

"Why don't we let the divers go down and take a look first?" Liu Shijun suggested.

"No, there are water monkeys, it's dangerous."

Fang Xing, however, agreed with Liu Shijun's suggestion: "We can get a few more sets of diving suits, a group of divers go down, what are water monkeys?"

have to!Hearing this, the people in the Animal Protection Research Center were moved.

As for the archaeological team, Ding Jianhui also agreed, saying that the two sides can cooperate and send several divers into the water.

Soon, the two sides reached a consensus, and ten divers put on diving equipment and went down together with underwater shooting equipment.

Before reaching the deep water area, I photographed some bronze wares on the riverbed.

Seeing this scene, Ding Jianhui immediately wanted to pump water.

"That seems to be a piece of bronze as Lu?" Liu Shijun said.

Fang Xing nodded: "It should be, the workmanship is quite delicate."

"What is Tongdang Lu?" Xu Qing didn't understand.

Not only did she not understand, but few people in the live broadcast room knew.

"Adornments tied to the horse's head in ancient times came in various forms. They were placed on the upper center of the horse's forehead, which is where the nose leather and forehead leather meet. Bronze danglus were popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties." Liu Shijun explained.

This is not only popular in China, but it seems to be popular abroad to tie an ornament to the center of the horse's head.

"What do I think, these things look like the original ones?" Fang Xing was puzzled.

The ancient tomb next to it is obviously in the style of the ancient southwest country, but the things at the bottom of this pool seem to have been moved from the Central Plains?
They belong to the south, and in ancient times, it was definitely the area of ​​the Southern Man.

More than 2000 years ago, the Central Plains' jurisdiction over this place was very weak.

The development of the Lingnan area will not be until after the Qin Dynasty. The famous general Zhao Tuo led 50 Qin troops to the south. The Qin Dynasty opened up three new counties in the south of the Lingnan, Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun. Later, when the Qin Dynasty fell, Zhao Tuo was in South Vietnam. Established the Nanyue Kingdom on his own as a king, and did not return to the Central Plains until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Ding Jianhui also frowned: "Indeed, I just saw a piece of Xi Zhen, which is also from the Central Plains."

"What is Xi Zhen?" Xu Qing asked a little embarrassedly.

"Hehe! It's similar to a paperweight. As the name suggests, it's an object that holds down a mat." Ding Jianhui explained with a smile.

Before the elevated furniture was introduced into China, people were used to sitting on the ground, and mats have always been the daily utensils commonly used by the ancients.Mats woven with vines, reeds, cattail grass or bamboo strips are not only easy to curl, but also move when you stand up, so the town of mats came into being.

Xizhen made of jade, bronze, gold, ceramics, etc. is not only practical, but also derives various styles due to the different ideologies and aesthetic orientations of people in different dynasties and generations.

As early as the Warring States period, Xizhen was already very popular. Most of the exquisitely crafted ones came from Han tombs, with various materials and shapes.

The Xizhen that I saw just now, looks like it should be from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

In this case, it doesn't match up with the ancient tomb next to it!The hours are different.

The wizard's tomb excavated next to it, according to Ding Jianhui's research, should be an ancient tomb before the Qin Dynasty.

Obviously, there seems to be no connection between the two!

Ding Jianhui and the others did not immediately order the divers to pick up the underwater things, but continued to explore.

As soon as the screen turned, a black figure was seen fleeing in a panic.

Everyone knows that it is the water monkey.It is estimated that they saw movement in the water and touched it.But seeing so many people, I was immediately scared away.

The divers from the Animal Protection Research Center immediately followed the water monkey.

That is their goal, and it is impossible to return you to continue exploring the tomb or something.

Shortly after, several members reached the deepest point, showing 52 meters.Without diving equipment, ordinary people really can't reach this depth.

Carrying the underwater photography equipment, the diver turned the lens around, and everyone saw that, leaning against the side of the cliff, there are steps extending into the mountain.

"My God! Someone really built the tomb underwater." Liu Shijun exclaimed.

When the others saw this scene, they stared wide-eyed.

Look at the amount of work, it's really not small!
