Master Archaeologist

Chapter 161 South Vietnam Cultural Base

In the west ear room.

On three floating wooden boards about 60 centimeters above the ground, three staff members of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology were lying on their stomachs, stretching out their hands to pick up the piles of funerary objects below.

The choice of Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology is very correct.

There are really too many funeral objects in the west ear room.

Just at the doorway, a set of nine small copper tripods, a set of copper spoons, copper handles, pottery bottles containing pills, and unknown utensils in the shape of a series of copper bells are enough for them to clean up.

And these things are just some utensils at the top of the doorway.

In the southeast corner of the west ear room, there are still a pile of pottery fragments, and a large number of lacquerware fragments in the middle. There are recognizable lacquer boxes and lacquer plates, and there are even more unrecognizable ones.

On the south side of the central part, there are bronze mirrors and arrow shafts.

The most important thing is that at the top of the middle part, there seem to be several seals made of special materials, including jade and agate.

In the west, there are all silk fabrics. Unfortunately, these silk fabrics have been carbonized, and there are traces of wooden boards underneath, which seem to be wooden boxes or shelves that were originally used to store these silk fabrics.

Moreover, this is only a small part of the funerary objects in the west ear chamber.

Because these are the top burial objects visible to the naked eye.

Under these utensils, there are other funerary objects in the middle and lower levels.

The size of this west ear room has been measured. It is about 4.1 meters in length, 1.75 meters in width, and 1.82 meters in height. The range is not very large, which is the size of a modern bedroom.

In addition, there is an aisle that is 1 meter long, 1 meter wide and only 1.44 meters high.

It is also the most serious blockage in the aisle. All kinds of copper and pottery are stuffed in the aisle, and the thickness of the accumulation is more than 60 centimeters.

It is conservatively estimated that there are at least five or six hundred burial objects in the entire west ear room plus the aisle!
This is still to say the least!
However, because the environment in the tomb is humid and the ground is weakly acidic soil, the corrosion of the copperware is relatively serious, and some of them have been completely oxidized.

Not to mention lacquered wood and silk fabrics.

Only a few artifacts are still in good condition.

However, among the few well-preserved utensils, there are also treasures!

For example, a lacquer-painted figure portrait mirror with a diameter of 11 centimeters is rare to preserve the complete lacquer painting, and the portrait is lifelike.

The painting art full of Western Han style is a rare cultural relic in the archaeological excavations of the Han Dynasty!

In addition, there is a supporting mirror inlaid with turquoise, and a gold inscription on Tiger Festival, which are also very rare cultural relics of the Han Dynasty.

Especially Tiger Festival.

The festival is a keepsake used in military affairs and diplomacy in ancient times!

Before that, some tube-shaped festivals and dragon festivals were unearthed in Hunan, Hubei, AH and other Chu cultural areas.

It is worth mentioning that Tiger Festival is different from Tiger Talisman.

Although they are similar in use, they are all credentials held by the messenger, which can mobilize the army or some departments belonging to the country.

However, the back of the Tiger Talisman was engraved with an inscription, and then divided into two halves, the right half was kept in the court, and the left half was distributed to the commander in chief or the local governor.

And it has always been dedicated to special talismans, one talisman for one place, and it is absolutely impossible to mobilize troops in two places at the same time with one soldier talisman.

From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the Tiger Talisman has been an item that must be verified when the army is mobilized.

But the festival is different.

The festival is not divided into two halves, it is usually a complete whole, and then the inscription will be engraved on it.

The birth of the festival should be earlier than the tiger charm, or the tiger charm is a product derived from the tiger festival.

Originally, the birthplace of "Jie" was Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.

Later, under the exchange and study of Qin and Chu, it was learned by Qin Guo, and then the tiger talisman of Qin State was born.

This tiger festival found in the west ear room is in the shape of a flat tiger cast in bronze.

The tiger is crouching, its mouth is wide open, and its tail is bent into a "8" shape.

The markings on the tiger's body are cast with curved leaf-shaped shallow grooves, and gold foil sheets are pasted inside, with 60 sheets shared on both sides.

Tiger eyes and tiger ears are also outlined by thin gold flakes.

The style is very exquisite, and the state of preservation is very good. Four seal scripts were engraved with wrong gold: "Wang Ming Che Tu".

It can be seen that this should be a letter talisman for mobilizing chariots and horses.

The tiger festival unearthed from the Nanyue king's tomb has a relationship with Chu culture in terms of characters and decorations.

It is also the only false Golden Tiger Festival found so far.

Originally, there were very few "sections" unearthed in Chu, even fewer copper sections, and none with wrong gold inscriptions!

The Golden Tiger Festival unearthed from the Nanyue king's tomb is of extraordinary significance!

It can be said to be the only cultural relic in the world!

The Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology has not yet warmed up, and this tiger festival was immediately sent to the Guangdong Museum.

It's a good name, and I borrowed it to appreciate it for a few days.

As for how long to borrow.

Let's talk about it, anyway, I will definitely pay it back later.

Because although the tomb of the Nanyue king has not been excavated yet.

However, the Guangzhou local government, and even the provincial government, have quickly decided to build a cultural base for the South Vietnam Kingdom on Xianggang.

The high-end apartment project negotiated with the real estate developer before has already turned yellow.

Now the land on Xianggang has returned to state ownership, and professional architects are invited to build a cultural base for the South Vietnam on the cleared [-] square meters of flat land.

The entire Nanyue Kingdom cultural base will include a Nanyue Kingdom Museum, an antique building complex, a food street, and supporting hotels.

In particular, the museums and architectural complexes intend to follow the Qin and Han style completely, and provide rental services for film and television bases.

Guangzhou intends to turn the entire Xianggang into an "antique town" in a modern city, not only as a museum, but also as a tourist base.

At that time, some Hanfu brands, antique utensils, antique restaurants, shops and other merchants will be invited to settle in.

After tourists come to Xianggang, they can experience a journey through time and space.

From entering Xianggang, you can change into a set of clothes from the Qin and Han Dynasties, and spend 1-2 days in it for basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and fun. Finally, visit the real Nanyue Kingdom Museum and the Nanyue Wendi Mausoleum.

One-stop shopping, you don’t have to worry about all the basic necessities of life, you can get everything done in the park.

Under the extremely stressful environment of the modern city, this kind of activity that allows people to travel through time and space and go to the "Qin and Han Dynasties" to relax and relax is quite attractive.

Modern people need such a place to release and relieve stress.

Although the "Qin-Han Era" built with the goal of having fun is definitely very different from the real Qin-Han Era, there is only form but no intention.

But tourists don't care!

Tourists just want to relax and experience the ancient life of "seeing Nanshan leisurely" in the poems.

It is tiring enough to be a cow and a horse in the modern workplace, so it is not enough to come to play, but to experience the hard life of the people at the bottom of the ancient times.

It must be enough to only experience the ancient scenery and culture.

Besides, it's not all fake.

Isn't there a Nanyue Kingdom Museum? At that time, all the cultural relics unearthed from Zhao Hu's tomb will be placed in this museum.

Moreover, the local government plans to keep the tomb after the archaeologists have cleaned it up, just like the terracotta warriors and horse pits excavated from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

Get the glass, and directly build a field museum on the first floor!
