History is the proof of the precipitation of a country's civilization and the reliance of a nation to trace its roots. History is history because it inherits and records the stories of the past, and with the passage of time, some historical materials have been preserved by chance, but more historical materials have been lost in the long river of time.
What best confirms the credibility of history? Of course, there are various sites, tombs, and cultural relics excavated from them.
The stories passed down by mouth by the old people will carry a great deal of subjective assumptions, coupled with the transformation of memory and the distortion of speech, and the accuracy is debatable; and although the historical records are important ways and corroborated by us to prove history today, the history books belong to the merits of the victors, and some unknown secrets are still unknown.
Only those ancient traces of the original, ancient tombs or ancient ruins, can truly reflect the ancient social customs.
With a long history of 5,000 years of Chinese history, many splendid cultural treasures have been buried deep underground waiting to be excavated. Since the Republic of China, due to the rampant tomb robbery, many ancient tombs have been damaged more or less, fortunately, with the promulgation of state decrees over the years, strict supervision measures and punishment systems have made many tomb robbers dare not carry out these unseemly activities, so that many ancient tombs are exempt from their poisonous hands, but also let historians breathe a sigh of relief.
Speaking of the ancient tombs unearthed over the years, it is still the Most Exciting Mawangdui Tomb, which has unearthed more than 3,000 cultural relics and is called the "first demon tomb" in the world by posterity. Why is it a demon tomb? Have you ever seen a female corpse whose skin is still elastic after thousands of years? Have you ever seen a piece of clothing less than one or two weights? Have you ever seen a pot of lotus root soup boiled thousands of years ago that can be preserved to this day? These things seem to be very absurd now, but they really happened in the tomb of Mawangdui Han.
In 1972, Zhou Shirong participated in the excavation of the Mawangdui Han Tomb, which truly subverted his understanding of the world. The Mawangdui Han Tomb was also rescue excavation, when Hunan was preparing to establish a hospital here, but did not expect to encounter landslides during the construction process, accompanied by the appearance of combustible gases.
This situation made it obvious to the members of the construction team at that time that something was wrong, so they immediately reported it to the cultural relics department. Sure enough, underneath it was a thousand-year-old tomb. Because the construction of the hospital has damaged the originally intact mausoleum, it is necessary to carry out rescue archaeological work.
This archaeological work has made many national treasures appear, but when mrs. Xin Chai's body was unearthed, Zhou Shirong's face suddenly changed.
Logically, the body of a normal person will decay after a month and be decomposed by microorganisms. The Han Dynasty is not only a thousand years away from now, but has a history of nearly two thousand years, but the remains of Lady Xin Chai are not only not decayed, but the skin is still full of elasticity, as if asleep, if these are not Zhou Shirong's own eyes, he will not believe, is this not the embodiment of "demon"?
Here is a word of mouth, many people should personally go to the Hunan Provincial Museum to see the remains of Mrs. Xin Chai, even if they have not actually seen it, they have seen her photos on the Internet, how to look at it does not look like "like a girl". This is because the protective measures at that time were not as good as now, and Mrs. Xin Chai quickly reacted with the outside air after being unearthed, so it became what it is today.
By the way, according to the staff at the scene at the time, at the moment when Mrs. Xin Chai opened the coffin, a red gas appeared in the coffin, which quickly dissipated in the air, and they suspected that the thousand-year incorruptibility of Xin Chai's body may be related to this gas, but at that time, the gas was not preserved for technical reasons.
Mawangdui also unearthed a priceless plain gauze jacket. Some people may ask, a piece of clothing, why is it so valuable? Of course, it is not just a piece of clothing so simple, according to expert measurements, the weight of this dress is less than one or two, folded up can even be tucked into a matchbox, such a spiritual skill even in the current high-tech can not do, let people can not help but have a strong admiration for the ancient craftsmen, but also make the Mawangdui Han tomb appear more magical.
At that time, two pieces of plain gauze were actually unearthed, one of which was accidentally stolen by the gangsters, and because of the fear of not being able to hide, it was directly burned by a fire, and the embers rushed into the toilet, which damaged the important cultural relics of the motherland not only made a vote of historians sad.
In ancient times, food was also a kind of funerary product, "fish fat one capital, meat sauce one capital." Que Sauce is a capital", a pot of lotus root soup found in the tomb of Mawangdui Han just proves this. However, due to the long time, although this pot of lotus root soup looks like a pot of soup, in fact, the inside of those lotus roots has long been out of structure, the staff has just taken out the lotus root soup, the whole pot of soup is destroyed in front of everyone because of the collision, only the photos are left as evidence.
Therefore, the excavated cultural relics are the first-hand materials for historians to study history, and if there is no actual cultural evidence, can you believe that there are really silky yarns in the world? Can you believe that there are ancient corpses that can not decay for a thousand years? Cultural relics are the treasures of the Chinese nation, but also the cultural foundation on which to survive, the exploitation of cultural relics can not only look to the wisdom of predecessors, but also promote the cultural self-confidence of the Chinese nation, and lay a cultural foundation for the Chinese nation to better stand in the forest of the world's nations.
