Chapter 10 Civilization Belonging

"Isn't this the engraved talisman unearthed in the Sanxingdui ruins?" Chen Ziyun asked puzzled.The Sanxingdui site is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the century.There are various indications that the Sanxingdui site is one of the origins of Chinese civilization.Located in Guanghan, Shu.Many rare treasures that shocked mankind have been unearthed here, such as huge bronze men and bronze masks, ancient bronze trees and so on.

From the smelting technology of the unearthed cultural relics, it can be concluded that the residents of Sanxingdui had mastered a certain degree of metal smelting technology at that time, which is a necessary symbol of a civilized world, but it is strange that among the cultural relics found on the Sanxingdui site, there is no Discover the text.There are only a small number of engraved talismans among the scattered utensils. Sadly, the number of these engraved talismans is still very small. It can be counted with two palms, only seven.Therefore, archaeologists believe that these inscriptions have not yet formed a systematic text, so there is not much research significance.Therefore, it is not surprising that Wang Xiaowu, who is proficient in ancient Chinese characters, does not recognize these characters.

But Chen Ziyun was different.As a young archaeologist, Chen Ziyun was not as cautious and conservative as other archaeologists.Regarding the Sanxingdui civilization, he boldly speculated that the ruins of the Sanxingdui civilization were the ruins of the Xia Dynasty!

Of course, Chen Ziyun's inference was not based on wild imagination, but on the basis of facts.For this reason, his doctoral dissertation was to demonstrate the connection between the Sanxingdui site and the Xia Dynasty.Hundreds of thousands of pictures and texts were eloquently sprinkled, but the instructor only turned a few pages before throwing them into the trash can.He was also severely reprimanded.

But later, for some reason, his paper was discovered by the staff of the 042 Research Institute, and then the attitude of the instructor changed drastically. As a result, he passed it like this, and then was accepted by the 042 Institute as a key investigator, allowing other Specially responsible for the archaeological and excavation work of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Based on his familiarity with the Sanxingdui civilization, Chen Ziyun could tell at a glance that the rubbings in Wang Xiaowu's hands were engraved symbols in the Sanxingdui cultural relics.But what surprised him was that there were not only seven engraved symbols, but thirteen.And among the thirteen engraved symbols, only three are the same as the ones he once saw in the Sanxingdui Museum.Chen Ziyun was equally unfamiliar with the rest of the engraved talismans.

"Are you kidding me?" Wang Xiaowu gave Chen Ziyun a blank look, and said helplessly, "Boss, do you know where these engraved symbols come from?"

Chen Ziyun also felt very strange, wasn't Wang Xiaowu dealing with the cultural relics unearthed in tomb d-09, why did he have the leisure to study the Sanxingdui carved symbols?Thinking of this, Chen Ziyun's heart suddenly twitched, his face was strange, and he said, "Don't tell me, it's just unearthed from tomb d-09!"

Wang Xiaowu nodded seriously, and said, "That's right, it was unearthed from tomb d-09." Wang Xiaowu stood up and said seriously, "So, boss, you must have read it wrong, an ancient tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty, How could the characters of Sanxingdui appear?"

"Impossible! How could I get it wrong!" Chen Ziyun's eyes widened, thinking back then, in order to write a thesis, he basically had a thorough understanding of the civilization of Sanxingdui, and Chen Ziyun could even write all the few characters. It was drawn one by one, how could it be wrong.He couldn't help but said, "Where did you find these characters?"

Wang Xiaowu stood up and went to get the real thing.She is quite familiar with the habits of her boss.When it comes to academic debate, if you want to refute him, you have to get actual evidence.

"Here!" Wang Xiaowu moved a box from the metal shelf, opened the box, carefully took out a stone letter, put it in front of Chen Ziyun, and said, "It's the contents of the silk book inside!"

Only then did Chen Ziyun remember that there was a piece of silk in the stone box where the Xuanniao statue was placed.It's just that after the Xuanniao statue was taken out, something happened. Chen Ziyun didn't have time to take out the silk, let alone know what was inside the silk.

Chen Ziyun took a deep breath.He signaled Wang Xiaowu to open the stone letter, and took out the silk book for him to read.

"Be careful. Tomb No. d-09 should be from the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In this way, this silk can be regarded as the oldest among the unearthed ones." Chen Ziyun did not forget to remind Wang Xiaowu.

Wang Xiaowu let out a "hmm", and after putting the stone box into a glass cover with a constant temperature, he gently opened the stone box in his hand, and carefully took out the already rotten silk. Expand.The treated silk looks fresher and slightly smaller than A4 paper.However, the above is still yellow and brown, with more than a dozen weird characters occupying the entire page.

The expression on Chen Ziyun's face was wonderful.Looking at the characters on the silk, he didn't say a word for a while.Only now did he truly believe Wang Xiaowu's words that these engraved symbols really came from tomb d-09.

"Weird!" Chen Ziyun murmured.However, he is not a person with a closed mind. While shocked, he was also secretly looking for a reasonable explanation.

The Sanxingdui civilization was hundreds of years earlier than the Western Zhou civilization.Judging from this time difference, it is not a big deal that there are some relics of previous civilizations in this tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty.The only thing that troubles Chen Ziyun is that the Sanxingdui civilization is located in the Sichuan Basin, which can be attributed to the civilization of the Yangtze River Valley, and it is relatively closed; however, the Western Zhou Dynasty inherited the Yin Shang civilization and belonged to the Central Plains civilization of the Yellow River Valley.Judging from the cultural relics unearthed in the past, the connection between the two is not particularly close, and among all the connections, the Sanxingdui civilization is basically excluded.

However, in this Western Zhou tomb, besides the silk with characters from the Sanxingdui civilization, there is also a statue of a mysterious bird unearthed.This thing with obvious Yin and Shang colors, together with these characters in a Western Zhou tomb, makes people feel weird.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyun asked, "In the follow-up excavation, have you found the remains of the tomb owner and anything that can reflect the identity of the tomb owner?"

Wang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "No bones were found, nor were any written records found. However, judging from the scale of unearthed cultural relics, the identity should be considered noble. But there is also a doubt here, that is, no sacrificial pit was found. It is really unreasonable for a tomb not to be buried with slaves or some animals." The bad habit of burial has existed since the primitive society, accompanied by thousands of years of bloody acts of Chinese civilization.The death of princes is often accompanied by the burial of a large number of innocent slaves.The more honorable the person, the more slaves were forced to be buried.

Chen Ziyun nodded, and asked Xie Feng, "Where is the statue of the mysterious bird?"
