People always have to fall leaves and return to the roots, and the ancients paid attention to the safety of the earth, so that the deceased can rest in peace.
This was originally a good cultural heritage, but when it came to the princes and nobles, it changed its taste.
The good life in the world is always racking its brains to take it underground for you to enjoy in another world.
"Martyrdom" also came into being.
The system of burial prevailed
The burial of the living, the Yin Shang kings, were very popular after their deaths, and after their deaths, they sent everything they enjoyed before they died, including beautiful wives and concubines, to the grave. Later, it developed to be dominated by utensils, livestock and pottery and wooden servants, and was buried in the ground with the owner of the tomb.
Historically, there have been many burials with living people. Archaeologists have found from the ancient tombs that have been excavated that there are 164 bones of martyrs in the tomb of The Shang King of Houjiazhuang in Yin Ruins, 16 people in the tomb of the Shang Princess And Lady Hao, and 21 corpses of martyrs in the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, all of whom are young women.
Needless to say, this custom is cruel. In the later dynasties, this funerary system was gradually abandoned, which also marked the continuous progress of human civilization.
Jiangsu dug out 1 male and 34 female burial tombs
In 2009, archaeologists excavated an ancient tomb, which was identified as the joint tomb of Liu Fei, the king of Handu. In this sprawling tomb, one male skeleton and 34 female skeletons were found.
Liu Fei was the son of Emperor Jing of Han, and when he was 15 years old, he wrote to himself to attack Wu, and was appointed as a general, Wu Shao, which showed his courage. Later, he became the King of Jiangdu and ruled the land where King Wu belonged.
During that turbulent era, Liu Fei was one of the few princes in the Western Han Dynasty who survived, and his mausoleum was located in the Dayun Mountain of Dongyang in present-day Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, which was very large in the Western Han Dynasty and was very large.
After careful study by archaeologists, the male skeletons in the tomb are Liu Fei's, while the other 34 female skeletons are his concubines.
Because a robbery hole was found around the tomb, a protective excavation of Liu Fei's tomb was carried out. Fortunately, most of the artifacts are still there. Among them, more than 10,000 bronze devices such as musical instruments and weapons have been excavated, and such a huge number is really shocking. These rare cultural relics have important historical value for the study of a specific period.
A pair of silver belt hooks, containing sweet love
Among the many artifacts unearthed, one artifact that caught the attention of archaeologists was a pair of silver belt hooks.
This seemingly ordinary object is actually not ordinary. The silver belt hook was found next to one of the female skeletons, along with a seal.
After cleaning, you can clearly see that the silver belt hook is engraved with the words "long and forget", which means that the future days are still far away, please do not forget me.
Not only that, from Liu Fei's title and the three words "Concubine Shengshi" on the seal, it can be seen that the status of this skeleton is not ordinary. Sure enough, she was "pure in the baby". Chun then reverted to her surname, the baby was the name, and the cultural relics unearthed from the Han Tomb of Dayun Mountain proved that her relationship with Liu Fei was very deep.
This pair of silver belt hooks is designed in half, one yin and one yang. Experts judged that this is likely to be a relic, which should have been a relic of men and women holding half and telling each other about lovesickness, and this pair of silver belt hooks divided into two halves was retained next to "Chun Yu Baby", and the princes who owned this cemetery did not bury the other half in their own tomb No. 1, which shows that Liu Fei and Chun Yu Baby have deep feelings.
The experts present looked at each other and understood: this is love.
epilogue
For Liu Fei and Chun Yu babies, having love is precious. In the royal family, many concubines are nothing more than the reproduction of imperial heirs and the balance of the politics of the previous dynasty, and there are very few feelings of true mutual satisfaction.
Although Chunyu Baby is pampered, she cannot escape her tragic fate. Being able to enter the palace and become a concubine, even if it is a palace girl, is the life that many people yearn for. However, after actually going in, you will find that freedom is the most precious.
