In our eyes, Xu Ke has always been keen on the Xianxia Xuan fantasy, "Qiannu Ghost", "Green Snake", "Liang Zhu", "Di Renjie" series... Majestic and magnificent. This time, Xu Dao's painting style suddenly changed, pulling the camera to reality, and filmed a movie around a real cultural relics treasure box, and also brought Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Dawn.
Unearthed at the same time as the treasure box was a Wu Zetian "Tang Purple Red Luodi Gold Embroidered Half-Arm Skirt", which is the only Wu Zetian relic found so far! Even so, this pure gold embroidered skirt is still dwarfed and eclipsed compared to the treasure chest in the tomb.
This treasure chest is now lying quietly in the museum, what exactly is it containing? Why did its excavation in the 1980s cause an uproar around the world and be listed as one of the top ten archaeological wonders after the founding of the People's Republic of China?!
Today, Xiaobian continues to talk to you about the story behind the movie and the story behind the museum.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > one, after a heavy rain, villagers picked up pearls, amber, agate</h1>
Let's pull the camera back to 1981, east of Baoji, on the banks of the Huangshui River, a quiet village.
Here is a remote, simple folk customs, people do sunrise, sunset and rest, living a slash-and-burn isolated Taoyuan life.
If you walk into the village and talk to the villagers, you will find that the Xianyang dialect of the Qin Dynasty is completely preserved here, and people call "chatting" "leaning" and "leaning with me for a while", which is the same as Cantonese, another language branch.
If you want to explore further, the villagers will say vaguely that there is a small temple with a wither, and since the Eastern Han Dynasty, successive generations of monarchs have come here to offer incense candles and take out the world's most precious treasures in the palace to provide for the sentient beings in the Fa realm.
Then, there is no then.
After all, it's a folklore.
However, a heavy rain in the autumn of 1981 shattered the tranquility of this ancient village, and the treasures that had been sleeping underground for thousands of years seemed eager to break through the ground and see the light of day again.
The rain fell for nearly ten days, and on the evening of August 23, villager Wang Zhiying looked out the window at xiaoxiao rain curtain and worried, and not far away, an ancient pagoda was crumbling in the wind and rain. When he woke up early, he found that the ancient tower had cracked a finger-wide gap, and now the gap had been torn to forty or fifty centimeters wide. So he put on his robe, touched the temple, and found the abbot of Chengguan to reflect on the situation.
Chengguan was the only monk in the temple, where the incense was decaying and the people were thin, and in the face of the bitter wind and rain, he had no choice but to fold his palms and pray for blessings.
In the early morning of August 24, the wind and rain stopped. On this day, the yellow calendar shows: Xin Youji Year, Propyl Shen Moon, Jia Shu Day, July 25, no taboos, it is advisable to sacrifice, broken houses, bad walls.
Wang Zhiying walked out of the temple door and found that the ancient pagoda had collapsed in half, the ruins and broken tiles rushed out a mile away, and the golden light in the soil was dotted, which was particularly dazzling under the reflection of the morning light.
The villagers who had cultivated early came up one after another, and everyone stood there stupidly, looking at each other, and when they saw Wang Zhiying coming, they instantly had the main backbone, he was the county's designated tower keeper in the village, to see what he said.
Wang Zhiying first picked up a bronze Buddha, wiped off the wet mud on it, and found that its workmanship was extremely exquisite. A few more steps, the ground is full of scriptures and scrolls, and on one side are carved prayer boxes that have rolled down. At this time, a villager ran up and handed him two objects in his hand, and Wang Zhiying fixed his eyes on it, one was the base of the copper tower, and there was a sachet made of red velvet cloth. While contemplating, another villager ran up and stuffed a tower in his hand. Wang Zhiying took a cursory look at it, and there was an inscription on it, which was roughly "an earthquake during the reign of Qing Shunzhi, and the tower was seriously damaged" Yunyun.
He carefully untied the rope, poured the small items in the sachet into his left hand, and the palm of his hand was immediately filled with precious stones-pearls, amber, agate, red coral, crystal beads, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Looking up again, the silt and sand a mile away were mixed with colorful artifacts, and he suddenly realized that the matter was big.
At that time, the villagers were simple, and they had no covetousness for these cultural relics, let alone the idea of robbing them. In their eyes, this is a public thing, and they can only look at it.
The only regret is that I will never be able to cool off under the ancient tower again.
In people's memory, the ancient pagoda base is all paved with bluestone slabs, and since the Ming and Qing dynasties, generations of villagers have become accustomed to gathering here on summer nights, hand-cranked fans, and talking freely. Some people say that there is a golden well under this tower, a pool of mercury, and a large gold boat moored; others say that the underground wind is habitual, full of green snakes, spitting out purple miasma of poisonous people.
At this time, the villagers talked about these rumors again, and they talked about them one after another, and the two of them scattered, thinking about the wheat lying in the ground, and they did not care about him. Before noon, the so-called Jinjing Secret Will be forgotten.
Wang Zhiying did not dare to slacken off, he decided to collect and clean up all the on-site cultural relics, centralized storage, and then report to the county, thinking of this, he cat waist, hands and feet are constantly busy.
At dawn on the third day, a comrade of the county cultural center rode a phoenix bicycle into the village, saw Wang Zhiying and asked, "Why did the tower fall?" When did it fall? ”
Wang Zhiying casually asked, "How do you know?" ”
The man said, "How do I know?" The whole world knows! ”
It turned out that on the second day after the collapse of the pagoda, the Indian monk Huiguo felt something during the retreat, so he released the news of the nirvana of the pagoda to the world on the radio station of the capital New Delhi. At the same time, senior monks in Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand and other places also have the perception and invariably hold grand ceremonies and set up altars to chant.
In the 1980s, when information was not developed, a desolate small temple and ancient pagoda in a remote area collapsed, how did these great monks who were thousands of miles away not know the prophet?
Could this be what the Six Ancestors Master called "heart-to-heart imprint"?
Wang Zhiying looked back at the pagoda that was only half of it, and his heart was full of confusion and doubt. Where did he know that there was a series of unsolved mysteries that were about to surface and wait for people to solve.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" >, pagoda reconstruction, bluestone slabs underneath</h1>
In the summer of 1986, a white-skinned student from the village, his name was Cao Wei, who was sent by the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Research Institute to supervise the construction.
The young man had just graduated from a master's degree, and Sven was white and pure, wearing a large pair of glasses, but his face was tired and his eyes were full of emotion.
Coming to this wilderness mountain village, Cao Wei had a sense of resistance in his heart. Like all recent graduates of the archaeology department, he was full of vigor and ambition, wanted to "do big tickets", and made a name for himself.
If you say that shaanxi is a land boundary, you can see the treasure with a shovel, and there are so many monuments waiting for him to be excavated, but he was sent by the leader to such a mountain, he can't figure it out. However, he had just arrived at the institute, young and young, and five colleagues in front of him had rejected this hardship, thinking that he, a small character, had been assigned to this wilderness village.
Before leaving, the leader specially did the work for him, "There have been people around the world who have donated funds to rebuild the pagoda, just a Hong Kong compatriot donated 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to repair the Buddha's body and put gold on the face of the Buddha. The reconstruction of the pagoda is a very meaningful thing. ”
Cao Wei superficially promised, secretly determined, as long as the remnants of the tower are demolished and the base of the tower is cleaned, he will return to the research institute and continue his research on the bronze project of the Shang Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, he came to the village to work as a "contractor foreman" and led the local farmers to set up scaffolding and do the demolition of the broken tower with a shovel and a pickaxe.
From summer and autumn, from autumn to winter, to January of the following year, on February 25, 1987, the pagoda foundation cleaning work is nearing the end, looking at the flat construction site, Cao Wei's heart is beautiful, and he can finally return to the city for the New Year.
However, at this moment, the sky suddenly began to snow lightly, and the snow fell bigger and bigger, like flying cotton, and in the blink of an eye, the construction site was silvery.
Cao Wei was happy, and Providence ordered me to finish work and go home as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly found a strange phenomenon, full of snow white world, only a three-meter square bluestone slab in the middle of the tower core remained black, which was particularly eye-catching in the heavy snow. He looked closer, but whenever the snowflakes fell on the bluestone slab, melted in an instant, and so on and so on.
With the archaeological knowledge learned over the years, Cao Wei's first reaction was - there is something underneath!
Years later, the middle-aged Cao Wei recalled the past
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > three, Xuangong first appeared, it turns out that those folklore are true</h1>
At that time, Cao Wei immediately found Han Jinke, the director of the county cultural center stationed at the construction site, and reported the situation to him, and at the same time Cao Wei quoted a sentence from the county zhili - "There is a golden well under it, the gold is brilliant, with mercury as the pool, and the boat is on it", and said to Han Jinke with trepidation: "Maybe there is something underneath." ”
For the matter of "there is something underneath", Han Jinke was silent and fell into meditation.
As a newcomer to the workplace, Cao Wei has never participated in field excavation and archaeology work before, can his judgment be trusted?
Han Jinke, former director of the Fufeng County Cultural Center
Han Jinke is a native of the Pagoda Brigade of Fufeng County, born and raised in Sisi, and because of his work, he is familiar with the county chronicles cultivated by various dynasties and generations in the county. The most recent record of this pagoda is in 1937 during the Republic of China.
At that time, there was a warlord named Zhu Ziqiao, who was the president of the North China Charity Federation at that time, and he presided over the repair of the pagoda at that time, and at the end of the project, Zhu Ziqiao let out a message - "The wind under the tower is customary, there are a large number of green snakes on the plate, and the base of the pagoda can no longer be moved!" "Since then, until the pagoda collapsed, no one dared to touch it.
It should be known that Zhu Ziqiao was the governor of Guangdong Province from 1916 to 1917, and his social image is good, and his words have a certain degree of credibility.
Zhu Ziqiao, politician and philanthropist of the Republic of China (1874 – January 13, 1941)
Before the start of construction, some scholars and friends of Han Jinke advised him not to hold out too much hope, because if there was something underground, it would have been dug up by the warlords long ago.
At this time, a popular movie has just been screened in the society- "The Great Thief of Tanglin", which has become the talk of the county for a while. Thinking of the underground treasures of the pagoda brigade, people generally tend to "prefer to believe that there is nothing".
At this time, Cao Wei came to report to him and said, "There is something underneath", Han Jinke had more eyes at that time - what if Zhu Ziqiao of the Republic of China said that "there are green snakes under the tower"? What if it's a smoke bomb?
At this moment, Han Jin Koning believes that he has it!
Thinking of this, Han Jinke resolutely adopted the second plan - "according to the way there is something under the tower" to carry out the later work!
First of all, Han Jinke quietly announced to the migrant workers that the Spring Festival holiday was held until the first six days of March to catch the temple fair (valley meeting); second, office staff took turns on duty 24 hours a day; third: asked the provincial cultural relics department for instructions and allocated professional personnel to assist in the work.
On February 28, 1987, the first day of the Chinese New Year, Han Jinke and Cao Wei had long been unable to take care of the New Year's Festival, and after a night of excavation, a beautiful stone lion manhole cover under the bluestone slab appeared in front of them.
Struggling to move the manhole cover, exerting the strength to suckle, only a crack about 10 centimeters long was removed, obviously below was a dungeon, and the two looked in along the crack and were suddenly shocked.
Soon, the director of the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Research Institute, the "mother's family", received a call from Cao Wei, who said, "There is indeed something under the pagoda!" ”
The director asked, "What is it?" ”
On the other end of the phone, Cao Wei was already incoherent, repeating a word repeatedly- "Golden Splendor!" Resplendent! Golden splendor..."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="107" >, thousand-year-old vaults of treasure</h1>
According to Cao Wei's report, the institute sent Han Wei, an archaeologist of Sui and Tang dynasty gold and silverware, to preside over the overall situation.
Han Wei, a famous archaeologist in modern China (December 1, 1937 - May 6, 2011)
The little young Man Cao Wei who was bouncing around did not expect at that time that due to the "accidental turn" to find the treasure under the base of the tower, he was awarded outstanding merit, and many years later he was appointed as the director of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Shaanxi Qin Shi Huang!
After Han Wei arrived at the scene, the progress of the work accelerated.
Ancient underground palaces usually sit north and south, the staff under two Luoyang shovels, first to the luohan hall in front of the door of the bottom of the depth of 30 centimeters, the other tower under the bottom of the bottom of the 3 meters deep, through this gap, Han Wei judged that this is a stone step into the underground palace, there should be nineteen steps.
After drawing the white-gray line, one word - "dig"!
People cut through the frozen soil in the most primitive way, shovel after pickaxe, ice splashed around, and dug down with difficulty.
At this time, Master Cheng Guan of the Chinese Abbot found Cao Wei and said to him: Cao Wei is more confused, about the "golden splendor" under the foundation, only the internal personnel of the archaeological team know, so he casually replied, "Master, why didn't I see the red light?" Cheng Guan smiled charmingly: he said that he would abandon the confused Cao Wei and turn away.
Early in the morning of the third day of the digging, on April 9, 1987, sure enough, a long corridor with nineteen steps was revealed to people.
The scene in front of me was a pleasant surprise.
The steps and slow steps are sprinkled with copper coins, and it is the largest ancient coin with a diameter of 42mm!
According to statistics afterwards, the number of Kaiyuan Tongbao unearthed from the Underground Palace of Famen Temple is about 20,000 pieces.
Nowadays, the price of the antique market is about 7500 yuan ~ 10000 yuan.
And this also contains thirteen tortoiseshells made of Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is the first discovery in the archaeological history of our country, and its value is immeasurable!
This kind of "money paving" that has only been seen in history books is the highest specification of the Tang and Song funeral rites, and modern people have evolved from paper money paving.
At the same time, the staff found an iron box, which was obviously a Republic of China product, and people's hearts sank - does this mean that the underground palace has been stolen? When I opened it, it contained an exquisite Tang Dynasty golden Buddha.
On the right side of the box, it is engraved "Ziqiao Chairman Relief Disaster Boy Memorial", which shows one thing, the warlord Zhu Ziqiao did reach the gate of the underground palace. His so-called "underground palace green snake" remarks are likely to be smoke bombs released so that the underground palace will not be burdened by the war of aggression against China!
Not much to worry about, people walked down the steps into the underground palace, and there was a stone door, and on the huge stone material, several lines of text were engraved, neither Chinese nor Sanskrit, and no one cracked it so far! Perhaps, this is the "spell" of the master of the dungeon to the intruder's mysterious warning.
You know, in the archaeological community, the setting up of spells, mechanisms, poisonous miasmas, and hidden weapons at the door of the burial chamber is not a new thing.
However, these strange words did not stop people's footsteps, removing the stones, revealing the iron door, with a huge copper lock between them, and above the stone door was a beautifully carved arched door head, a pair of phoenix birds on the left and a pair on the right.
According to this pattern, Han Wei judged that this was not a Ming Dynasty ornament, but a Tang Dynasty underground palace.
Open the door lock, and inside is a deep and narrow tunnel, and a second door appears.
The second door is not an ordinary stone slab, but two character stele, one is a Zhiwen stele, indicating the reason for the construction of the year, through these words people know that the deep lock of the underground palace has passed 1113 years; the other is the "object account stele", which is a small account book of the cultural relics of the underground palace, which clearly records the number, category, and name of the devotee.
The staff took a cursory look and immediately became excited, with the words "Wuhou embroidered skirt and one waist" on it, indicating that there were skirts for Wu Zetian enshrined in the underground palace. Before and after that, the Chinese archaeological community has never found a relic of Wu Zetian.
Not only that, this small ledger made of stone also tells people that there are a total of 2499 cultural relics stored in the underground palace!
Everyone could not care about the prime minister's celebration, and struggled to remove the two large stone tablets, and the third secret room was revealed, two stone lions, a White Jade Ashoka Pagoda, and the ground was piled up with mountains of Lingluo silk.
After crossing the Ashoka Tower and going around to the back room of the underground palace, as soon as the door opened, all the people at the scene were stupid! People seemed to have their legs covered in lead, standing still and unable to move.
Eyes full of golden Buddhas, silverware, glass, ancient porcelain, jade, jewelry and jewelry... Dazzling, so dazzling that people can't open their eyes, can only be described in four words - breathtaking!
According to Cao Wei's recollection afterwards, in the process of taking out the treasure, a cultural relic has been brushing the sense of existence, glowing with strange light under the sunlight transmitted by the patio, so that Cao Wei had to take care of its existence, which is a crystal pillow.
Cao Wei didn't think much of it, and together with the big guys, he cleaned up and carried these gold and silverware out one by one.
This includes --
1. Tang Gilded Copper Floating Tu
Gilded bronze floating tower, 53.5 cm high and 28 cm wide at the bottom.
2. Tang Gilded Mandarin Duck Tuan Pattern Large Silver Plate
The "Tang Gilded Double Duck Cluster Pattern Large Silver Basin" has a caliber of 46 centimeters, a foot diameter of 28.5 centimeters, and a height of 14.5 centimeters, which is a large device in the gold and silverware excavated from the underground palace of Famen Temple!
3. Don Gilded Copper Smoker
4. Don Gilded Lying Turtle Lotus Pattern Five-legged Flower with Silver Smoker
5. Don Gilded Gold and Silver holding a statue of the True Bodhisattva
A gilded bodhisattva with pearls hanging from its body and a golden lotus leaf in his hand
6. Don Yingzhen is a golden bowl
7. Don Gilded Double Moth Pattern Cutout Silver Sachet
These two incense balls are one large and one small, the large one can be hung in the incense bed tent, the small one can be carried around, and the internal design of the two spheres is very avant-garde!
The spice is placed in it, no matter how it shakes or angles, its center of gravity does not move, and the burned spice does not overflow the sphere. It is the same as the principle of gyroscopes used in contemporary aviation and navigation.
Han Wei, the main person in charge of the work, demonstrated the operation principle of the incense ball at the scene
VIII. Don Gilded Lotus Petal Circle Foot Silver Water Bowl
IX. Don Gilded Three Cobalt Pestle Silver Arm
8. Tang Secret Color Porcelain Five-petal Lotus Plate
After the underground palace porcelain was taken out, before it was named, the photographer with the team found a strange thing, the same piece of porcelain, with the change of environment, light, interlining, color changes, this is really a strange thing!
Finally, after the expert group identified, this is the long-lost "secret color porcelain"!
This is the first time in the history of archaeology in China that "secret color porcelain" cultural relics have been found, and before that it only lived in history books or folklore.
Because the firing process has long been lost, people have been full of controversy about the form and color of secret color porcelain, and can only be explored in some ancient poems.
For example, the five generations of poet Xu Yu's poem "Gongyu Secret Color Tea Cup" describes: it is said that only secret color porcelain can "grow water out of nothing".
Later generations thought that the ancients exaggerated their words, but now they have to see the real body, and they can only say that the pen and ink words are indescribable.
Nine, Tang Secret Color Porcelain Eight-Edged Pure Bottle
According to the account of the object -
Nowadays, these fourteen secret color porcelains in the underground palace of Famen Temple are all national first-class cultural relics, and whichever one you take out and which museum you get is the treasure of the town hall!
10. Tang Wu Zetian purple red Rhodi gold embroidered half-arm skirt
"Golden embroidery" has been lost for thousands of years of embroidery craftsmanship, most of the silk excavated in the underground palace this time is carbonized, only this set of embroidered skirts is well preserved. According to the analysis of experts, a large part of the reason is due to the silk thread made of pure gold, which inadvertently plays an antiseptic role.
The embroidery threads made of these real gold are only 0.1 mm in fineness, and only 0.06 mm in some places, and even if modern high-tech means are used, it is still impossible to reproduce an original product.
11. Don Gilded Four Strands twelve-ring silver tin staff
The tin staff was a magic weapon used by the Buddha Shakyamuni to drive away poisonous snakes, and eventually became a symbol of authority.
We read in the classical novel "Journey to the West" that Guanyin Dashi incarnated as an old monk, sold robes, and finally gave tang Sanzang nothing, along with a nine-ring tin staff.
Unearthed from the underground palace of Famen Temple is a twelve-ring tin staff, which is about 1.96 meters long, which is the longest tin staff in the world! It is known as "a national treasure among national treasures"!
12. Don Gilded Fei Hong Road Pattern Silver Cage
This set of utensils used to hold tea leaves has two mysteries, one is that the cage itself is cast from a mold, the mold is flawless, and the mold master has crossed to modern times, processing a mobile phone case without any problems.
Second, the back of one of the spoons in this tea set is engraved with the words "Five Brothers", who is this Fifth Brother?
Later, Han Wei confirmed that this "fifth brother" was the grandson of Tang Xuanzong, Tang Xuanzong.
That is, the prototype of the post-Tang monarch played by Zhou Runfa in the movie "The City Is Full of Golden Armor" that we later saw.
Tang Qizong's nickname is "Five Brothers"!
This set of cultural relics represents the highest level of tea making in the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be a strong proof that the tea ceremony was indeed introduced to Japan from China.
Tea mills
Tea box
13. Don Pan mouth glass bottle
In ancient times, when glassware was not yet widespread, these utensils could only be the exclusive use of the royal family, basically imported from the present-day Middle East, which was very rare. It is worth more than gold and silverware and is equivalent to emerald diamonds.
And nearly twenty pieces of glass products were unearthed from the underground palace of Famen Temple!
So who is the owner of the dungeon? The number of glassware under his name and the quality of the glassware are so good that even today's Middle Eastern archaeologists will salivate and marvel!
Just when a group of archaeologists were confused, in the evening, Master Chengguan said while chatting with Cao Wei——
Cao Wei was surprised again, there were indeed two stone lions under the underground palace, and they did not reveal half a point to the outside world, how did Master Chengguan predict the prophet?
He suddenly remembered the "Gilded Four Heavenly Kings Like Baohan" guarded by two lions, everyone only cared about moving things, ignoring its existence, and only roughly felt "very heavy" when they passed, and then transported it to the ground.
- Could it be that there's something in there?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="225" >, this treasure letter, overshadowed more than 2,000 precious cultural relics</h1>
The archaeological team first very carefully carried Baohan to Fufeng County Hospital and performed X-ray analysis on it.
Finally, the doctor informed the archaeological team that this treasure letter was layered one by one, and there were seven floors inside!
Han Jinke recalled, yes, this is the "Eight Treasure Letter" mentioned on the account stele! The 121 pieces of gold and silverware and more than 400 pieces of jewelry and antiques raised from the underground palace are all placed around this treasure letter, which is the real protagonist of the underground palace of Famen Temple!
However, what exactly is inside the box, the doctor can not say.
X-rays can't be seen, the doctor can't say clearly, no one dares to remove, no one will dismantle, everyone is suddenly worried.
At this moment, Han Jinke remembered a strange man!
Han Jinke, then director of the Fufeng County Cultural Center in Shaanxi Province, was a local resident of Baota Village
This strange man is a special staff member of the National Archaeological Research Institute, specializing in textile archaeology, and this time he came to Famen Temple to clean up the silk of the underground palace.
His name is Wang 㐨 (xù), and the reason why Wang 㐨 has a number in the archaeological field is because he personally participated in the excavation of Mawangdui in Changsha in 1972.
The clothes on the body of the female corpse Xin Chai unearthed from the Mawangdui in Changsha were peeled off by Wang Yi himself.
Everyone may think that it is not a great thing to take a piece of clothing from a dead person, but you must know that this dress on Xin Chai's body is not an ordinary dress, this dress is called "plain yarn (dān) clothes", the fabric is plain yarn, as thin as a cicada wing, light as smoke, weighing only 49 grams.
Through the clothes, you can clearly see a hair.
Plain gauze shirts cannot be imitated to this day. It was such a piece of clothing that was completely stripped from the corpse by Wang Yu, and its human soul was no less skillful than that of ancient skilled craftsmen.
Far from it, even the tufted silk knots tied on the treasure letter, how did people tie the knots more than a thousand years ago? In the eyes of us ordinary people, it is extremely complicated, and it is a piece of cake in Wang's hands.
Second from the right: expert Wang Wei Second from the left: Han Wei, the person in charge
As soon as the old man arrived at the team, he gave Han Jinke a deep impression, and as soon as he entered the door, he took out a large enamel jar from his luggage and took the pot of boiling water! Through the inscription on the teapot, Han Jinke saw that this was a veteran who had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Immediately after that, Wang Yu took out a handful of pills from his bag, took it with water, leaned back on his neck, put down the teapot and turned around and ran to the underground palace, and worked with his colleagues.
Han Jinke believed that the old man's intelligence and willpower were fully capable of opening the work of Baohan.
On May 4, 1987, in the evening, the work of the archaeological team entered a crucial moment.
Locals find the sunset on this day extraordinarily brilliant, as if foreshadowing that it will be an unusual night.
Inside the Fufeng County Museum, people squeezed the sweat of their palms, stood solemnly at the table, held their breath, and waited for the moment when the treasure letter was opened.
On-site work photo Han Wei and Cao Wei
Sure enough, Wang Yu was very clever, just when the big guy was at a loss, he took a pair of pliers, a wire, the wire clamps into four "L" shapes, opened the lid of the treasure letter, inserted the wire along the gap around the inner wall, and then twisted slightly, turned the 90-degree angle, and the four people lifted up at the same time to "fish" the box inside.
The boxes opened layer by layer, and the room was silent enough to hear each other's heartbeats.
The gilded Four Heavenly Kings Statue Treasure Letter, the Plain Silver Treasure Letter, the Gilded Noble Sayings Treasure Letter, the Six-Armed Guanyin Pure Gold Treasure Letter, the Pearl Treasure Letter, and the Gem Treasure Letter appeared one by one.
After opening the Gem Treasure Letter, inside was a silk parcel with a dead knot. Although these silks do not decay in the confined space, they still have a certain hardness, but they are already very difficult to open.
Wang Yu finally rolled a sheet of coated paper into a paper cylinder, little by little, and took about fifty minutes to pull it away.
In this way, one by one, the eight treasure letters were cracked layer by layer, taken out one by one, and lined up one by one.
So, what is this small tower with a four-sided door in pure gold in the innermost part?
The staff soon discovered that the roof of the small tower was moving, lifted the lid slightly, and the contents of it were a little foggy for a while, and the room was suddenly silent.
First of all, this white pipe that is one inch and two centimeters tall is shaped like a human bone joint, but it is deliberately old fine white jade, valuable fine jade, why should it be deliberately old to form such a broken shape?
After a moment's hesitation, Han Wei suddenly remembered that a passage of text on the "Zhiwen Tablet" in the underground palace was recorded according to the text as "the real figure bone of Shakyamuni Shakyamuni". In other words, compared with the relics burned by the real body of Buddha Shakyamuni, a "photocopy" made of jade was made.
This also reminds Cao Wei of another cultural relic, the gilded bodhisattva!
This extremely exquisite bodhisattva with pearls all over his body, whether it is the inscription on his body or the record of the object, indicates that it is called "holding the true bodhisattva".
Since the "true body" is held, then the true Shakyamuni relics should also exist in the underground palace.
Soon, Cao Wei put aside his doubts and joined the finishing work of cleaning up the underground palace. He was too busy to take care of him, and gradually forgot about this bodhisattva.
On the last day, when Cao Wei was about to leave the empty chamber, he suddenly noticed something strange about a stone slab at his feet.
After Cao Wei lifted the cracked stone slab, he found that the soil underneath was stirred, which is called "living soil" in the jargon of the archaeological community!
This time, Cao Wei once again reported to his superiors- "There is something underneath!!! ”
After the archaeological team excavated again, a northward tunnel was found under the soil layer, and at the end there was a niche hidden in it, which contained a very ordinary iron letter.
It turned out that those unique treasures, all of them, were used for a leaf barrier purpose, and this deeply hidden iron letter was a real guy.
The iron letter contains an exquisite crystal coffin studded with precious stones.
From this, everyone carefully took out a relic.
Later, experts determined that this was indeed the true finger bone relic of Buddha Shakyamuni.
Hearing the news, all the members of the archaeological team clapped their hands and hugged together excitedly, tears of excitement pouring out of the corners of their eyes.
For exactly forty-nine days, all the day and night labor was worth it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="360" > lu, postscript</h1>
Famen Temple has also been expanded from a small, nameless temple to a 33,966-square-meter Famen Temple Museum, a beautiful Tang Dynasty-style architectural complex. This is the youngest of the top ten museums in China.
Due to his outstanding work performance, Han Jinke was promoted from the original director of the Fufeng County Cultural Center to the director of the Famen Temple Museum!
Due to the expansion of the museum, everyone in Baota Village has received a generous subsidy, which is probably a blessing for the villagers to abide by the law, choose the good and stubborn, and strive to protect the national cultural relics.
"Recalling the heyday of the kaiyuan in the past, all the friends in the world are rubber paint", how did the world's only remaining Buddha's true finger bone relic, how did it travel thousands of miles away from the Silk Road to China?
