Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
In the history of China, there are many princesses, they are the proud daughters of heaven, golden branches and jade leaves, and they have been pampered by all kinds of people since birth. In the Sui Dynasty, there was a little princess named Li Jingxun, who died at a very young age, but because of her grandmother's love for her, she was able to leave her own amazing treasure in history.
Li Jingxun was born in 599, the son of Li Chong, the son of a famous general, Li Min, and his mother was Yuwen Eying, a princess of Northern Zhou. Yuwen Eying's mother was Yang Lihua, the eldest daughter of Emperor Wen of Sui and Princess Leping. I don't know if it is because of the love house and Wu for the only daughter Yuwen Eying, or because Li Jingxun is indeed delicate and lovely, in short, grandmother Yang Lihua is extremely fond of her, it can be said that she is afraid of falling in the palm of her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth.
As a golden branch and jade leaf, Li Jingxun lived in the palace with the imperial grandmother since he was a child, "training for long pleasure, seeing the grace of kindness alone; teaching the deep palace, and obeying the virtue of obedience." "The elders are kind and affectionate, and the younger generations are respectful and filial, and at this time it can be said that they are on the knees of chenghuan and enjoy the happiness of heaven."
But the good times did not last long, this honorable little princess of the Sui Dynasty did not stay in this world for too long, "the frost fell during the day, the Ying mound fell in spring, and before the jade platform was ascended, it was sad about the day of Zelan", in 608 AD, Li Jingxun, who was only 9 years old, died of illness. Yang Lihua was extremely sad and held a very solemn funeral for her granddaughter, and then she had to endure her burial.
The ancients paid attention to "death is like life", and Yang Lihua also did enough work for Li Jingxun's funeral products. Although the little princess died unexpectedly, her funerary products are still complex and complete, there is no haste, and the grades of all the items are the highest royal specifications, which shows Yang Lihua's love for her granddaughter.
The tomb is 2.9 meters deep and contains only a very simple sarcophagus and a stone rafter, but when the stone rafters are uncovered, a beautifully carved, imitation hall sarcophagus of the stone carving artwork comes into view. The imitation of the temple sarcophagus, that is, the entire coffin has been made into the shape of a palace by skilled stonemasons, the coffin plate is the roof, even fine to every tile; the west wall of the sarcophagus is carved into the shape of a door, and the interior is also carved with two lifelike maids, and even the windows are carefully carved out.
In addition, the sarcophagus and stone rafters also contain 230 funerary items, each of which is a treasure, including a gold necklace inlaid with pearls and chicken blood stones, and lapis lazuli carved with bighorn deer, which is worn on the neck of the little princess, which is a valuable national treasure.
The most valuable thing is that these funerary items are not only the pottery figurines and pottery of the honor guard, but also all kinds of jewelry and living utensils, almost all the things that the tomb owner will use before he dies, as if an elder whose children are about to go away tirelessly prepare daily necessities one by one, for fear that the children will not live comfortably in the distance.
The most impressive thing about the tomb is that in addition to these burial items that reveal the heart of love, there are also epitaphs with deep words in front of the coffin. The inscription is very beautifully written, one of which is "The ring pearls are bright and bright, and the meaning of flowers and fragrant peijufen" reflects the weight of Li Jingxun's little princess in the heart of the imperial grandmother Yang Lihua, and in Yang Lihua's view, any words of praise used on the granddaughter are not excessive.
Although this princess has only existed in the long river of history for 9 years, she has left valuable information for the archaeological discoveries of later generations, all thanks to the real love of the imperial grandmother for her, which is still moving after thousands of years.
