Chapter 896 Yellow intestines

The so-called... yellow intestine... is because the wood used in the collection is all cypress fang (yuan) with peeled of the bark of the cloud tree, which is named after the light yellow color of the wood.

The yellow intestines are made up, which refers to a wall made of wood around the coffin of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, covered with a roof, just like a house, and there is a toilet outside.

The use of the tomb method of "yellow intestines" is, on the one hand, to indicate the identity and status of the owner of the tomb, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to protecting the coffin from damage.

According to the ceremonial system of the Han Dynasty, the yellow intestine is an important part of the imperial mausoleum with the Zigong Palace, the toilet room and the outer Tibetan tomb, but it can also be used by the special gift of the imperial court.

For example, after the death of Huo Guang, a general in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty "gave Zigong, a toilet room and a yellow intestine" and the name "yellow intestine" appeared in the Book of Han, Huo Guang's Biography.

"Teacher, it's very late today. Why don't we come back tomorrow?"

Zhuang Rui looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. He was hungry. After a day of physical work, Zhuang Rui was also a little tired. Although the tomb with yellow intestines was very attractive, he had to rest, right?

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Professor Meng shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, you must go in today, Xiao Liu, go up and bring the food down. Pay attention to safety when it's dark, or let the little comrade of the armed police give us a tent, and I will live in the tomb at night..."

There is no difference between the night and the day in the tomb. They all need to be illuminated by electric lights. The discovery of the tomb of the Han Dynasty with yellow intestines in Dengshan is of great significance. There will be a lot of history in the archaeological community, so Professor Meng can't wait.

"Well...well, I'll go in and have a look..."

The teacher, who was almost 60 years old, didn't complain and was tired. Zhuang Rui was naturally embarrassed to go on. Several people carefully passed through the passage with traps with flashlights and came to the door of the Hanbai stone tomb.

The white white stone did not become dim because of the passage of time. Under the light, it still looks crystal clear, and the dragon and phoenix pattern on it is even more vivid, as if it is alive.

Professor Meng walked in the front. After stepping into the tomb, the whole Mouren was stuck there. Zhuang Rui, who had not moved his body for a long time, was itchy in his heart and quickly looked in from the teacher's shoulder.

"Damn it, this... Is this the yellow intestine problem?"

With the light in Professor Meng's hand, Zhuang Rui saw an unforgettable scene in his life.

This is a large tomb nearly five meters high and more than 100 square meters in size. In the middle of the tomb, there are countless pieces of wood, and all the wood has been recorded and slightly yellowed in the light.

Zhuang Rui didn't know what kind of wood these pieces of wood were, but standing at the door of the tomb, the faint fragrance of his nose was shocking, and the previous feeling of fatigue dissipated a lot.

What shocked Zhuang Rui was that all the wood was decomposed into wooden strips, the size and specifications were exactly the same, and the densely built into a huge house with a roof on it.

On the top wall above the roof, the sun, moon and stars are carved. Next to the yellow intestines, there is a tall bronze carriage, and there is also a pottery terracotta driver on the car, which suddenly looks like a real person.

Around the bronze carriage stood six generals of the size of ordinary people. They were all majestic and their left hand drooped, but their right hand was pressed on the sword at their waist and looked brightly in all directions, as if they were guarding their master.

Around the yellow intestines, a circle of white stone fortresses has been built into mountains and rivers, surrounded by maids, all of which are reduced pottery figurines. The appearance is extremely realistic, and the body is bright and lifelike. At first glance, it seems that it has come to a small country.

On the surrounding walls, there are more than a dozen night pearls with white light. Although it is not as good as the huge crystal obtained by Zhuang Rui in the island treasure, it is still intact after thousands of years, and it must not be ordinary.

"It's difficult... is... the tomb of the First Emperor of Qin?"

Thinking of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin described in the historical books, Zhuang Rui said such a sentence, which suddenly attracted several contemptuous eyes. The tomb of the First Emperor of Qin has already had a public opinion, which can not be speculated casually.

"Zhuang Rui, the First Emperor of Qin was through the three springs, and the copper was lowered to the palace, and the palace was full of officials, and strange weapons were strangely hidden. With mercury as the Baichuan River and the sea, it is instilled by the machine. There is astronomy on the top and geography on the bottom. With mermaid paste as a candle, the immortality will rise for a long time..."

Dr. Ren has a very good memory. He recited the passage describing the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin in Sima Qian's Historical Records, but he was also shocked by the tomb he saw in front of him. I'm afraid that the owner of the tomb has the idea of imitating the Mausoleum of the First Emperor

Professor Meng has gone into the tomb and quietly observed the mountains and rivers. After a long time, he said, "This is a horse emperor. Look, the general with weapons and this mountain map. It is the territory of the Han Dynasty, the ancient road of Yangguan, the desert grassland, all of which are reflected..."

Generally, the general identity of its owner can be seen from the furnishings in the tomb. For example, in the tomb of the Emperor Taiping, there are mostly pottery fants for maids to eat, drink and play, while in the tombs of the general and the emperor, there are many weapons and guards.

The map of the mountains and rivers in this tomb, guarded by a knife, all show that the tomb owner must be a person who expanded the territory before his life, which is why Professor Meng said this.

"This is hollowing out the middle of the mountain, and in this way, there will definitely be no shortage of other burial pits. I'm afraid that such a big project will never be done in 20 years. Which emperor is it?"

Professor Meng looked at the tomb in front of him and fell into meditation.

The scale of this tomb is too huge. If you want to excavate it all of it, it is not a momentary effort. I'm afraid it will take at least more than half a year, so Professor Meng is not in a hurry to do it.

"Teacher, those pottery frugines need to take protective measures immediately..."

Dr. Ren woke up first and whispered a sentence in Professor Meng's ear.

After hearing Ren Chunqiang's words, Professor Meng woke up like a dream and quickly said, "Oh, yes, yes, Xiao Ren, take them to protect the pottery flies quickly "............"

Due to contact with the outside air, at the beginning of the unearthed terracotta, the withered adhesion between the painted layer and the surface of the pottery was already very weak. After the unearthed, the color of the painted pottery will change and fall off, which will gradually lose the color of the body and become like a colorless terracotta

Protecting the grapefruit color of Qin and Han pottery was once an international problem. Later, through in-depth and systematic research on the material composition and process of painting, experts revealed the damage mechanism of painting, and on this basis, the protection technology method was developed.

Dr. Ren took a plastic bucket at this time, poured the ** in the bucket into the basin and stirred it, and then brushed the colorless ** on the pottery fants. This is one of the methods, which is the combination of anti-wrinkle shrinkage agent (polyethylene glycol) and reinforcing agent (polyurethane emulsion).

The function of polyethylene glycol is to resist wrinkle and shrinkage. The reagent can absorb water from the surrounding environment, keep the painted raw paint layer moist, and then slowly lose water, so that the reinforcement agent can act on the painting before the painting is completely dry, so as to achieve the purpose of reinforcement.

Because there were too many pottery flies in the tomb, Professor Meng also joined in. Six or seven people were busy for three or four hours to paint these pottery flies with reinforcements, and they didn't even have time to eat the food brought by Xiao Liu.

"Well, everyone has worked hard today. Let's go up and have a rest first. Let's continue tomorrow..."

Professor Meng is old. After finishing his busy work, he is so tired that he can't even lift his waist. Zhuang Rui also realized that he used to say that it was hard work in wild archaeology, but now he has experienced it.

Although these archaeologists can see the evidence of history at the first time, the hard work is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After returning to the mountain, Professor Meng reported the results to the State Administration of Cultural Relics. Such a large-scale Han tomb is also the best among the tombs that have been found in China. With the current technical strength of Zhuang Rui and others, it seems to be a little thin.

The relevant leaders immediately gave instructions. At the latest, a group of expert teams will be organized to reinforce the day after tomorrow, which also made Professor Meng sigh. With just a few of them alone, I'm afraid that the tomb will not be able to appear in the world in another two years.

After everyone went up the mountain, it was already night. It was past 1 o'clock. Everyone was so tired that they could not go back to Lao Zhang's house. They simply snuggled up next to the tent set up by the armed police soldiers and fell asleep.

Although it was already very hot in May, everyone was still covered with white cloths ready to wrap cultural relics. If they were seen by uninformed people, they would have thought they had come to the ghost, a row of people with corpses.

"Sir, where are you? Why can't I find you after calling for two days in a row?

Before he went to bed, Zhuang Rui called his home. He didn't have time to charge his mobile phone these days. Generally, he turned it off immediately after making the phone. This time, before he turned off his phone, Zhonghai Viagra's phone called in.

"Brother Wei, I'm in Henan Province. I'm excavating an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty. Let me tell you, this tomb is amazing. I guess that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is bigger than it..."

As soon as Zhuang Rui heard that it was Yang Wei's phone call, he couldn't help but be a little excited. Although he had graduated for several years, his brotherhood had always been very deep. In addition, he was stimulated by this ancient tomb today, and Zhuang Rui talked endlessly on the phone.

"Lao, don't talk about this. What's wrong with Lao Si, do you know?"

Viagra's tone was a little anxious. He interrupted Zhuang Rui's words without introducing the unparalleled ancient tomb he found.
