Chapter 35 Ancient Tomb
"There is no way, whoever made porcelain have such an extraordinary status in the hearts of our countrymen." Lu Jiafan laughed, "Even in the eyes of foreigners, porcelain is also extraordinary. Otherwise, why would they call porcelain a China?"

Calling porcelain and China the same word shows the status of porcelain in the eyes of people all over the world.

Jiang Weiwen could only smile wryly.

Professor Han said: "Whether it's porcelain or calligraphy and painting, they are all kinds of antiques. As long as you can learn any one of them well, it will be enough for you to use for life."

He cherishes Jiang Weiwen's talent, and he doesn't mind Jiang Weiwen continuing to study in calligraphy and painting, but he doesn't want Jiang Weiwen to get into a corner, and instead miss himself.

Jiang Weiwen's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Lu Jiafan also fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became a little heavy, Chu Ning hurriedly said, "By the way, Professor Han, has something been excavated from the ancient tomb we went to this time?"

Professor Han didn't want to make the students feel uncomfortable, so he smiled and said, "That's right, the excavation of the ancient tomb has already made a lot of progress. We were late, and I'm afraid we won't be directly involved in the ancient tomb. Tomb excavation, but to identify the cultural relics that have been unearthed."

The excavation of the ancient tomb has been more than halfway through. If they go in now, if they suddenly step in, not only will they not be able to help, but it will easily disrupt the normal operations.

Therefore, after they arrive at their destination, the work they are more likely to do is some logistical work.

However, appraising unearthed cultural relics is what they are best at.

"Professor, although you haven't been to the ancient tomb yet, you must already know some news about the ancient tomb, right?" Lu Jiafan flattered him, "Why don't you tell us about the situation before we arrive. Let's prepare a little bit!"

Hearing what Lu Jiafan said, Chu Ning and Jiang Weiwen also became interested, looking at Professor Han expectantly.

Anyway, I was idle in the car and had nothing to do. Professor Han thought about it, and then gave a general account of some news he knew.

Although the excavation of the ancient tomb has not been completed yet, according to the unearthed cultural relics, the experts who went first have determined that the ancient tomb discovered this time should be the tomb of a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, and also found a dilapidated tomb. tombstone.

According to the records on the tombstone, this ancient tomb has existed for more than 600 years. It can be determined that the owner of the ancient tomb should be an official from the Yongle period.

It's a pity that the tombstone is too dilapidated, and the ancient tomb has not been well repaired, and many things have been damaged, so until now, the identity of the owner of the ancient tomb has not been confirmed.

However, the coffin of the owner of the ancient tomb was discovered, and it was very well preserved.

It was mainly because the coffin was very special that it was able to preserve the coffin unscathed.

When the coffin was first discovered, it was a huge sarcophagus.

After the sarcophagus was broken open, what was contained inside was not a corpse, but a wooden coffin.

Moreover, this wooden coffin is not simple, it is actually made of golden nanmu!
The nature of golden nanmu is relatively stable, not warped or cracked, durable, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, with a fresh and pleasant aroma. Therefore, in history, golden nanmu was often used exclusively for royal families, officials and temples.

In ancient times, it was even illegal for civilians to use golden nanmu without authorization.

The most important thing is that the golden nanmu is buried in the ground and can not rot for thousands of years.Even the emperor's coffin is mostly made of golden nanmu.

And the real coffin of the owner of the ancient tomb is not just as simple as this level of wooden coffin.

In the wooden coffin made of golden nanmu, there is actually a layer of coffin!
This third floor is where the real coffin is located, and the material is even ebony, which is even more precious than golden nanmu.

In ancient times, the style of the coffin represented the identity and status symbol of the deceased.

There is a saying that this kind of three-story coffin is called two coffins and one coffin.With such a coffin and the official uniform worn by the owner of the ancient tomb, it is not difficult to confirm the social status of the owner of the ancient tomb.

Lu Jiafan became excited when he heard it a long time ago: "Professor, are there many antiques from the Yongle period buried in the ancient tomb?"

The antiques of the Yongle period, not to mention others, just a piece of porcelain is enough to make people tempted.

Because, it was from the Yongle period that the production of blue and white porcelain gradually became the mainstream of JDZ porcelain production.

And Yongle blue and white, not only has a very important historical significance in history, but also is highly sought after in modern times.

Even Jiang Weiwen, who loves calligraphy and painting more, can't help but look forward to this trip to the ancient tomb.

"Of course there are antiques, otherwise, what are we rushing to do?" Professor Han said with a gentle smile, "At that time, there must be other experts who will work with us to identify the cultural relics unearthed from the ancient tomb. shame."

"Don't worry, Professor, we will definitely not let you down!" The three said in unison.

Not long after, the few people finally arrived at the barren hills in the northern suburbs.

The army sent people to protect it, and outsiders couldn't easily enter it.

In the car, Chu Ning saw many people poking around the cordon, and asked curiously, "Professor, what are these people doing here?"

Professor Han looked out and said with a smile: "These people either heard the news and wanted to fish in troubled waters, or they were reporters sent by major media to obtain news materials. However, there are people from the army guarding here , It’s not that easy for these people to get in or get news.”

Professor Han has participated in several large-scale ancient tomb excavations over the years, and he is no stranger to the situation in front of him.

The three of Chu Ning suddenly realized.

A military officer came forward to verify the identities of several people, and only after confirming that they were correct, did they let the four people in.

As for their luggage, it was handed over to the army for temporary custody.After dark, someone will naturally take them to rest and return their luggage to them.

"Professor Han, you have arrived." A 27-year-old young officer ran over happily, "There was a small mistake in the previous excavation operation of the ancient tomb, and many experts inhaled poisonous gas in the ancient tomb , is now in a state of treatment and rest, so that manpower is in short supply, and many things are too busy."

There is such a thing? !
Professor Han and others were taken aback.

The older the ancient tomb, the more dangerous it is inside.

It's not because of any weird mechanisms that may exist in the ancient tomb, but because the corpses in the ancient tomb will produce a lot of poisonous gas after they rot.And these gases will produce a large number of harmful bacteria through long-term bacterial reproduction and pollution.

Entering such a confined space without authorization is very dangerous, even fatal, for anyone.
