There is such a jargon in the domestic archaeological community, called underground cultural relics to see Shaanxi, and aboveground cultural relics to see Shanxi, in fact, this sentence is not completely absolute, before the small editor reveals the secret of this statement of the jade group pei, let's first talk about the origin of the Jin dynasty.
The second Son of zhou in the Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou, was named Ji Shu (姬縣), and his younger brother's name was Ji Yu (姬虞), and Ji Yu's initial fiefdom was in Tang Prefecture (Shanxi), so history called him Tang Shuyu. After the death of Tang Shuyu, his son Xie inherited his father's marquis, and it is recorded in the "Book of Han and Geography" that Tang had Jinshui, and Shuyu Zixie was the Marquis of Jin, and it was Xie who changed Jinshui to Marquis of Jin. Xie changed the name of the country from "Tang" to "Jin", and from then on, the history of the Jin State for 600 years began.
If you write in detail the names of the various Jin marquises in the past six hundred years, and what they have done, this estimate is more difficult, but in the ancient times of life and death, the Tomb of The Marquis of Zhao Village in Quwo County was found, and this cemetery, although many ancient tombs were stolen, archaeologists, still relying on their own professional knowledge, found a large number of stone tools, bone tools, lacquerware and bronze in this cemetery, but in the excavation process of Tomb No. 63, experts were delighted to find a large number of jade.
At the beginning, the experts only found a few jade juan, followed by a few jade heng, chong ya, with the jade pipe, beads, agate pipe and many other jade excavations, experts finally did not calm down, because these jade only look at a certain piece of jade, indeed a pony tail wearing tofu, some can not be mentioned, because the quality of a piece of jade alone, can only be regarded as the second and third types of cultural relics, but there is an ancient jade research expert, but put forward an exciting point of view: if these jade pendants are the legendary jade group pendant, That's a terrible thing!
Among the more than 800 pieces of jade excavated from Tomb 63, the experts finally selected 204 pieces of jade, which were arranged and combined to become a huge jade group more than two meters long.
We know that the gentleman's jade pendant is a custom of the Zhou Dynasty, at the beginning, the jade wearing jade was only a single piece, but the single piece was difficult to show the luxury and identity of the Zhou Dynasty emperors and nobles, so the jade group pendant that was first hung on the neck and later hung on the belt appeared one after another.
We can know through the accounting that a burly person, 180 centimeters tall, he will hang this jade group pendant on his neck (the head is counted as 20 centimeters), the longest length is 160 on the sky, because if it is longer, the jade group will mop the floor, and people will not be able to walk.
The jade group pendant is hung on the belt, the longest is only one meter, and the jade group pendant composed of 204 pieces of jade can be seen, which is obviously beyond the scope of practical utensils.
So in addition to the above strange points, what are the three secrets of this jade group pendant?
1, do not know who its owner is
Tomb No. 62 is a Marquis of Jin, it is clear that Tomb No. 63 as his funerary tomb, the owner of the tomb is his concubine, cultural relics experts in her mausoleum, found a bronze pot, the bottom of the pot is engraved: Yang Jiao as a shame pot Yongbao use, is the hostess of this jade group pendant named Yang Jiao, it is obvious that the orphan evidence can not be used as a judgment of the name of the tomb owner, if you want to finally determine who the hostess of the jade pendant is, you have to use other historical materials to support it.
2. The specifications and quantity of jade go beyond the ceremonial system
We know that in the past, when Hou Ye died, the number of quasi-burial jade was limited, and the jade in the Coffin of the Marquis of Jin in Tomb No. 62 was not as much as the jade in Tomb No. 63, which was obviously beyond the ceremonial system. Why this is the case is a mystery.
3. How the jade group pei is used in the "other world" is a mystery
Obviously, the jade group pendant that is more than two meters long cannot be worn and used, then there is an explanation, that is, the jade group pendant is covered to the body of the deceased, whether it is so or not, then it can only wait for the same kind of mausoleum, excavate more of the same cultural relics, and then make further identification!
