Siheyuan: This driver is too arrogant

Chapter 250 Major Breakthrough!Discover the Hongshan Cultural Site! (seeking subscription)
He pushed away the troublesome big dog, lay down on the ground, and carefully pushed aside the dense weeds. Under the grass, there was only a thin layer of soil intertwined with rotten grass roots for many years. A mixture of finely crushed sand and rotten grass roots.

The natural ecological environment of the grassland is too fragile!
Under the sand dug open by the dog's paws, there was a round object lying quietly. Liu Weidong hurriedly picked it up, ran to the lake to wash it, and looked carefully at the sun.

This is a piece of jade.

The whole body is orange-yellow, translucent, the surface is polished very smooth, and there is a circular hole in the middle.

And on the edge of the jade, there is a thin slit that was cut out by some unknown method. On the top of the slit is a head of an animal carved with a simple carving method. If you look closely, it looks a bit like a dragon's head!
Isn't that...

A very famous vocabulary in later generations suddenly flashed in Liu Weidong's mind!

Jade Pig Dragon!
Hongshan Culture Jade Pig Dragon!
Seeing his master holding a stone in a daze, Ao Qier ran over and barked, reminding him not to be stupid!
"Stupid dog!" Liu Weidong looked away from the jade and sat on the ground. Ao Qier leaned over, pressed his two front paws on his thighs, stretched his neck, and looked at the stone curiously.

"Do you know what this is called?" Liu Weidong pinched the dog's ears and said to himself, "This thing is the Jade Pig Dragon of Hongshan Culture, which is what the ancestors used to sacrifice to heaven and earth."

"Oh!" Aoqier shook his tail, sorry, Gouzi doesn't know much about archaeology.

Gouzi's specialty is herding sheep.

"Telling you is playing the piano with a cow." Liu Weidong took out a piece of beef jerky from his pocket and handed it to it. Ao Qier caught it in one gulp and swallowed it three times. The happy dog ​​jumped up and down, Liu Weidong Frowning, this guy is also crazy!
When Xiao Gege saw this simple and simple jade carving, he was also taken aback.

"Brother, this is..."

"If you want to talk about this, it's that the child has no mother. It's a long story!" Liu Weidong looked at the 5000-year-old treasure on the wooden table, and smiled faintly, "My beloved wife pours a cup of tea for my husband, listen I will blow it to you slowly for my husband!"

"Husband, please have some tea!" Little Gege smiled from ear to ear, and handed him a cup.

"Where do we start with this? Let's start with our ancestor, the Yellow Emperor. Daughter-in-law, let me ask you, you said our ancestor, the Yellow Emperor, did he make a living by farming or by grazing?"

"The ancestors of your Han people should have lived by farming!" No matter how smart little Gege was, he had only graduated from junior high school at best, and he knew very little about this period of history.

"First of all, I have to make a correction. The Yellow Emperor is not only the ancestor of our Han people, but also the ancestor of the Mongolian, Khitan, Xianbei, Qiang and other ethnic groups. The Chinese civilization is diverse and has many branches, just like Mongolia. After the Mierqi people, Taichiwu people and other tribes, the huge Mongol Empire was formed...too far away..."

Xiao Yuyan woke up, clapped her little hands, Xiao Gege hugged her daughter, hummed a song and shook her a few times, Xiao Yuyan had big round eyes, looked at her father and then at her mother, with a curious expression on her face.

"Come on girl, let us listen to your father's bragging!" Little Gege kissed his daughter, he really loves this little thing to death!

"Let's continue talking about this piece of jade. According to archaeology, our Huangdi tribe itself is also a mixed nation. After several wars with the purely agricultural Yandi tribe, we reached a consensus and merged into the Yanhuang tribe. Later, we engaged in farming and smelting. A conflict broke out among the Chiyou tribe, and a decisive battle took place in Zhuolu. Let me ask you, daughter-in-law, where is Zhuolu located?"

"It seems to be in the south!" Little Gege said after thinking about it.

"That's right, it's only a hundred miles away from us to Zhuolu. We can speculate from this: Back then, the Yellow Emperor led his tribe to graze and cultivate the grassland under our feet. After uniting with the tribe of Emperor Yan, they defeated Chiyou. A part of the Dongyi tribe was merged, and the Huaxia nation was born; later, some tribes went south, and those who remained still maintained nomadic customs and multiplied, forming branches such as Donghu, Shiwei, and Xianbei; those who went south became the main body of the Han people. The brothers are separated, and the conquest continues..."

"According to what you said, it's really the case!" Little Gege was very smart, and immediately straightened out the relationship inside. The nomadic Huangdi and the farming Yandi joined forces to defeat the smelting Chiyou, and went south to conquer the Central Plains. Farming groups; the tribes who stayed on the grasslands still maintain nomadic customs...

And the root of all these inferences lies in the jade in his hand.

Jade pig dragon, a ritual vessel used by the ancient Yellow Emperor tribe to sacrifice to heaven and earth.

"Do you understand girl?" Little Gege pinched her daughter's chubby face and asked with a smile.

Xiao Yuyan blinked her big eyes, and looked at her father sitting in front of her with a confused face. Seeing him looking at her expectantly, the little girl giggled and hid her little head in her mother's arms.

It's only been a few months, so I don't understand it at all!

"Brother, this baby, should we keep it or..."

"Hand it in, and you can keep anything, but this thing can't be left in our hands." Liu Weidong played with this treasure left by his ancestors 5000 years ago, "This is a national treasure!"

"How about using this national treasure to exchange for a tractor?" Xiao Gege rolled his eyes and thought about it!

"That's it!"

The couple hit it off immediately, Liu Weidong packed his things, bid farewell to his wife and children, got into the car, and took Xiao Cai'e back to the capital. He went directly to Mr. Lin Weixing and put this hard-won treasure in front of him.

"This is..." The old man looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, then suddenly slapped the table and shouted!

"Jade Pig Dragon! This is a sacrificial vessel used by our Yellow Emperor tribe in ancient times. It is only recorded in ancient books. Where did you get it?"

The old man hugged the Jade Pig Dragon in his arms, fearing that it would bump into it, he shouted loudly, almost insane!

Liu Weidong pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and clicked on Alukorqin.

"It really is here, Hongshan culture!" The old man has studied humanities and history for half his life, and when he saw the location pointed by his finger, a network of ancient relationships quickly formed in his mind!

Relying on this Jade Pig Dragon, those fragments of words scattered in the history books can be strung together and spliced ​​into an ancient image!
Huangdi led his tribe to graze and farm in the Red Mountain area, went south to merge with Emperor Yan, Chi You led his troops to commit crimes in the north, and Huangdi led his troops to go south to fight in Zhuolu. This opened the prelude to the expansion of the Huaxia people from nomadic areas to agricultural areas...

The old man picked up the pen, glanced at the Jade Pig Dragon, swiped the pen, and wrote down all the ideas in his mind. Liu Weidong sat aside, quietly watching him go crazy, and there was something in his heart...

Moving!

To do academic research, you must have this kind of madness!

Everything needs to be stable, cautious, and can still achieve results?

joke!

Lin Weixing's daughter, Lin Wenhui, brought Liu Weidong a cup of tea. He took it and said thank you. Lin Wenhui hummed, "Comrade Liu, what kind of relationship are you with that..."

"Our child has been three months old." Liu Weidong took a sip of his tea, "A pair of twins."

"Oh..." A trace of loneliness flashed in Lin Wenhui's eyes, and she retreated to her room.

"Look, Xiao Liu, with this sacrificial vessel, I can eloquently prove my point of view!" The old man wrote a full ten pages, and he handed the manuscript to Liu Weidong, who took it over and read it page by page. Sure enough, it was not bad at all as I guessed!

The discovery of this jade pig dragon integrated many fragments that had been lost in the corners of history into a complete system, and brought Hongshan culture to the surface!
"Good thing, seeing him, I seem to hear the horn played by Yinglong during the battle for the deer, and I also saw the scene of Chongli holding the jade pig dragon to sacrifice to the sky, praying for victory in the war!" The old man hugged the jade pig dragon, Can't put it down.

"Comrade Liu, what are you going to do with this thing?"

"This is the treasure left to us by our ancestors. Of course, I can't keep it alone. I want to donate it."

"Okay, good boy, enlightened!" The old man was so excited that he seemed to be 20 years younger. He pulled Liu Weidong up, "Let's go, I'll take you to find Lao Li right now, baby, this is one side Mirror, with it, you can have a glimpse of the appearance of the ancient times!"

Liu Weidong was almost dragged away by this skinny little old man, and he didn't know where he got so much strength.

The two went out and went straight to the museum. After entering the museum, the old man called the curator, Lao Li, to come out!

Lao Li is an old man in his 50s. He wears a Chinese tunic suit, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a goatee. He looks like a classic literati.

"Old Li, baby, we got a baby!" Lin Weixing yelled excitedly, and Lao Li glared at him, "Tell me in my office!"

Director Li's office is small in size and simple in decoration. Like Guo Changda, it is filled with books of all kinds, exuding a stale smell.

"Take a look, what is this!"

Lin Weixing carefully placed an object wrapped in dozens of layers of newspaper on the table. Director Li took it over and tore the newspaper layer by layer until he saw what was wrapped inside...

"This is……"

"Hongshan Culture Jade Pig Dragon!"

Lin Weixing's voice trembled a little!

"Look at this carving, this style is really rare!" Director Li picked up a magnifying glass and carefully observed this treasure from 5000 years ago. "The Hongshan Culture was discovered in the 30s and 50s. The development did not achieve much results, and the project was officially established in the [-]s, but so far no such thing has been discovered..."

"You are an expert in the study of the history of the three generations, don't you know what kind of treasure this is? This is a ritual vessel used by the ancient Yellow Emperor tribe to sacrifice to heaven and earth!"

The old man took out the dozen or so pages he had written just now, and pushed them in front of him, "Look, look, with this thing, many things are connected together!"

Curator Li took it over, read it carefully, and his expression changed drastically!

"Lao Lin, this is a major discovery in our archaeological field, no less important than Mawangdui, let's go see Minister Cui right away, hurry up!"

"it is good!"

The two took their things and left in a hurry, leaving Liu Weidong alone in the museum waiting for news.

This walk lasted for a whole day, and Liu Weidong went to the museum cafeteria for a meal. He wandered around bored for half a day, until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the two old men came back in a hurry.

"The higher-ups instructed that within a radius of [-] miles where this object was discovered, recruit personnel to carry out large-scale archaeological exploration..." Curator Li pointed to the treasure that had been sealed in a glass box and labeled "First Class A" , asked Liu Weidong, "Please also ask the little comrade to help us point out the location where this treasure was found."

Liu Weidong suddenly thought of a terrible thing!

The location where the Jade Pig Dragon was found seems to be very close to Yelu Longyou's tomb...

just in case……
