For the first impression of the Tang Dynasty princess, everyone basically thinks that the Tang Dynasty princess is very spicy and brutal, and in fact, it is true. The Tang Dynasty is the most open dynasty in China, coupled with the relationship between the woman Wu Zetian once became an emperor, the Tang Dynasty is also the most equal period of the status of men and women in ancient China, the Tang Dynasty royal family Li family is a mixed descendant of the Han and Xianbei tribes, so many habits of the Li Tang family and the remnants of nomadic people.
The accumulation of various factors made Li Tang's princess very spicy, the most famous of which was Li Shu'er, the princess of Anle who was known as the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty, who made two bird skirts for the people, and the Taiping Princess who forced Wu Zetian to succeed to the throne with Zhang Kamzhi, Li Xian, and others, and then wanted to be a female emperor like her mother Wu Zetian. In fact, the princesses of the Sui Dynasty and the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are also similar, and they are also very strong, for example, although the Princess Lanling of the Sui Dynasty was forced to remarry by her brother the Sui Emperor, she did not obey, and finally died mingzhi, and today this article is going to tell the story of another Sui Dynasty princess Li Jingxun.
Originally, there was not much description of Li Jingxun in the Book of Sui, until 1957, when Li Jingxun's tomb was discovered near Liangjiazhuang in Xi'an. Li Jingxun's tomb specifications can be said to be the highest specification among the princess tombs of the Sui and Tang dynasties. There is only one huge sarcophagus in the burial chamber, and the craftsmen also specially cast the sarcophagus made of bluestone bricks in proportion to the style of the nine ridges and three rooms of the Sui Dynasty palace.
Not only that, this sarcophagus can be seen as a small palace in every way: the craftsmen even designed every piece of rubble very beautifully, and the sills, foreheads, bolts and other tiny structures were carefully carved at the gate of the sarcophagus palace, in addition to the two vivid maids depicted in a shady way on both sides of the door, one holding an object in his hand, and one person probing his face into the palace, as if he were two palace women waiting for their master to wake up.
The most shocking thing for the archaeologists was the inscription "The opener is dead" on the eaves of the sarcophagus, and the archaeologists naturally did not believe this curse-like warning, but were stimulated with a little curiosity - who is the owner of the tomb? Why can you enjoy such a high-standard tomb? Who cast such a curse on the grave robbers of the hereafter?
After opening the lid of the coffin, all the members of the archaeological team were very excited because of the funerary items in the coffin, because in the coffin there were many ceramic figurines, necklaces, bracelets, rings, silk products, etc. Very exquisite utensils, the most precious of which was a necklace made of 28 small gold balls, and at the lower end of the necklace was also inlaid with a huge chicken blood stone, on which hung a lapis lazuli of a similar size, which was very beautiful.
Through the translation of the epitaph, the archaeologists knew that the woman in the tomb was Li Jingxun, the granddaughter of Princess Yang Lihua of Leping, the daughter of Emperor Yang Jian of Sui, who was born a strange elf, and everyone in the Sui Dynasty royal family was very fond of this little girl with a pink carving, especially Yang Lihua. Unfortunately, Li Jingxun died of illness when he was 9 years old, and Yang Lihua was very sad after Li Jingxun's death, so he arranged for craftsmen to build this palace-like sarcophagus.
Archaeologists believe that Yang Lihua should have been heartbroken when writing Li Jingxun's epitaph, in the epitaph Yang Lihua exaggerated Li Jingxun as a treasure that has nothing in the sky and the earth, and is a unique beauty in the world (the ring pearl gong Ming And Yao, yihua and xiang pei), out of the doting on Li Jingxun will make the coffin into a palace, want to let the granddaughter after death as before death, and therefore will write a warning of "the opener is dead" to prevent the tomb robbers from invading the rest of the granddaughter.
