"Liaozhai Zhiyi" once said: "The decoration of martyrdom because of goods is used as a degree of qualification." "In the context of feudalism, the world's thinking is decadent and feudal, limited by this backward thinking, the martyrdom system came into being, and countless people who accompanied the funeral were unfortunately killed.
In the process of China's historical development, funeral culture has always been the top priority in Our society, and under the influence of feudal and decadent ideas, in the process of the development of China's funeral culture, there have also been cruel burial systems.
Since the advent of the burial system, countless innocent people have been forced to die, and in the process of modern archaeological research, many burial tombs have been unearthed, which has also made the world see the cruelty of this feudal system
Fifteen years ago, Chinese experts excavated a large tomb of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and among them there were forty-six martyred maidens. These martyred girls were naked and white, and their skeletons were covered with green "cauliflowers". So, where did this tomb come from? What is the "cauliflower" that grows on the bodies of these martyred girls?
In 2007, the director of the Institute of Archaeology of Jiangxi Province in China learned that a large-scale tomb robbery case occurred in Jing'an County, Jiangxi Province, and after preliminary understanding, the director believed that this tomb was likely to belong to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and its research value was not very large.
However, when he came to the scene for inspection, he found that the raised shape of this tomb was very special, which was very different from the Ming and Qing tombs, and through simple survey and analysis, in the end, the director determined that this tomb was most likely to belong to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which had high research value.
In order to avoid further damage to the tomb, the director of the Institute of Archaeology immediately organized an archaeological team to carry out a rescue excavation of the tomb.
After that, with the assistance of the public security department, the person who excavated the tomb was successfully arrested, and after interrogating the tomb robber, the experts learned that the tomb robbers only excavated the periphery of the tomb, and did not destroy many coffins and funerary items in the tomb.
According to the preliminary survey of experts, the scale of this tomb is extremely large, which is quite different from ordinary tombs. In the previous days, archaeologists have hardly found tombs of such a scale, and if the tombs have not been seriously damaged, they will certainly provide more help for the development of China's archaeological cause.
Through the investigation and visit of the villagers near the tomb, it is known that it is rumored that there are fifty coffins buried under this tomb, each of which is made of precious gold silk nan wood. Upon learning of this, experts began to carry out in-depth clean-up and excavation of the tomb.
Since then, through the continuous efforts of experts, a total of forty coffins have been excavated from this tomb, which is different from the situation in folklore, and many of the coffins in this tomb are not made of gold silk and nan wood.
After opening forty-six of the coffins one by one, experts found many white bone remains, according to relevant technical tests, these remains are about fifteen years old to twenty-five years old, and such remains are not wearing clothes, which can be determined that these dead people were naked at the time of burial.
Not only that, in the process of cleaning up these white bones, experts have found many green "cauliflower"-like objects on the white bones, and after scientific testing, it has been found that these "cauliflowers" are the crystallization of corpse toxins and air fungi, and the reason why these remains will have a large number of toxins in the body is also because they were not voluntarily buried, but were poisoned by others.
According to expert analysis, these young girls should belong to the slaves or maids in the tomb owner's family, and after the death of the tomb owner, they were poisoned and buried naked in the tomb owner's mausoleum to accompany the tomb owner.
Based on the excavation of these remains, Chinese experts have been able to have a deeper understanding of the pre-Qin period, the study of physical anthropology in the southern region, not only that, through the help of more than a thousand precious cultural relics such as silk fabrics, lacquerware, bamboo and wood ware, jade tools unearthed in the tomb, Chinese archaeologists have a new understanding of the Eastern Zhou bronze civilization, and the investigation of this tomb and its surrounding ancient cultural sites also has a profound impact on the reconstruction of Jiangxi bronze civilization by Chinese experts.
As the earliest discovery in China so far, the most peculiar structure, and the largest number of buried coffins in a pit of multi-coffin tombs, to this day, this Eastern Zhou ancient tomb is still the focus of research in China's archaeological community.
epilogue
In modern society, with the excavation of one ancient tomb after another, China's historical research undertakings have been able to achieve a higher level of development, with the help of such ancient tombs, our people can recognize the development style of real history, and experience the dross of the decaying and backward system from it.
Nowadays, our country has long been freed from the influence of such a bad system and has achieved new development, and the living environment of the people has become more free and relaxed. In the social context of the new era, the quality of life of our people will be improved at a higher level.
It is believed that in the future society, with the continuous in-depth analysis of history, the future development path of our society will become brighter, and the great cause of national rejuvenation will be completed as soon as possible.
