In classical culture, because of the harmonic sound, some people are even associated with "promotion and wealth". This may be that people always feel that the coffin is an "obscure, unlucky" thing, so they want to add some "auspiciousness" to the coffin and imagine it out of thin air.
In order to be buried for a long time, the ancients took pains to make coffins, especially in the use of materials, rich people will choose expensive wood. Better coffins with cypress wood, oil pine, better coffins with golden silk nan wood, etc. The wood is very corrosion resistant and will not turn into soil for decades. There are even jewels inlaid, yellow intestines inscribed.
Because of the ancient manufacturing process, large coffins made of pure gold, sterling silver, and jade have not yet been found, but there are coffins with gold foreskins. Many people think that the coffin is a whole person, it must be very large, in fact, there are small coffins containing "stumps", just like the box, usually more than ten centimeters in length. Such small coffins are made of pure gold and sterling silver, such as the small coffins of Buddhist decoration relics.
In the underground palace under the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou and the underground palace of Famen Temple in Shaanxi, several small gold coffins and small jade coffins have been unearthed. Inside are all relics. These small coffins are very delicately made and beautiful. In fact, small coffins like this have also been found in other temple dungeons, and some have not been opened so far.
In the underground palace of Longquan Temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi, many cultural relics have been found, one of which is "golden coffin silver rafter", which is now collected in the Taiyuan Museum, and this "golden coffin and silver coffin" has not dared to open it so far! Such a small coffin contains very rare relics, and the relics are very important antiques, and there are very few monks who can "cultivate" the relics, and only the so-called "enlightened monks" can burn the relics. However, some people say that this is a stone.
According to the "Taiyuan County Chronicle" recorded longquan temple information: the temple has a history of more than 1,300 years, the original temple was built in the first year of Tang Ruizong Li Dan Jingyun, and then destroyed in the war, the current Longquan Temple was rebuilt on the original site in the early Ming Dynasty! So it's a temple with a long history.
It has been 11 years since the discovery of the "golden coffin and silver coffin" in Taiyuan Longquan Temple, why has it not been opened? Because there is a bow on the "golden coffin and silver coffin", if you want to open the coffin, you must untie the bow.
And this red bow, actually tied up in silk, this bow has a thousand years of history, on the surface it looks intact, but after all, it is a historical relic, once the operation is not prudent, the bow will be destroyed. Especially such a valuable silk fabric, very rare, because the silk fabric is originally difficult to preserve, this bow under accidental conditions, only preserved until now.
Compared with other cultural relics, silk fabrics are relatively rare, and it is not known whether there are more precious cultural relics in the small coffin. Even if there are more precious artifacts, it is very safe to put them in a small coffin first. Can't open today, maybe, after the technology matures, with the emergence of new equipment, it will be easy to open. At that time, fish and bear paws could have both, and it was better than now to open destructively.
However, experts did not wait for the rabbit to sit and wait for the emergence of new technologies, and have been thinking of ways to think of countless ways to open the coffin under the premise of retaining the bow. In desperation, I had to give up opening the coffin and treasure it in the Taiyuan Museum! It will definitely open one day.
