Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
From ancient times to the present, people believe in the legend of gods and ghosts, especially some rich and noble families, and firmly believe that after people die, they will bring the wealth around them to another world, so a special tomb system has been established.
After the death of the powerful ministers, most of them would build particularly luxurious burial chambers, in which a large amount of gold and silver treasures were placed, and even beautiful women were buried. It is precisely because of this rich funerary product, most of which are valuable objects, so there is a phenomenon of tomb robbers stealing and selling money.
These treasures reddened the grave robbers' eyes and made them excited. In particular, after Cao Cao established the Lieutenant of Touching Gold, he began a large-scale theft model. If it were not for these people, many historical relics might have been preserved, precisely because of the beginning of Lieutenant Touching Gold, so that Chinese cultural relics were constantly lost.
In the 1920s, China began to enter the archaeological period, but that period was turbulent, so archaeology was also intermittent.
After the founding of New China, the archaeological industry has become faster, and many rare treasures have been excavated, but most of them have traces of tomb robbers, and even archaeologists are deeply helpless.
In the 1970s, experts found a Han Dynasty tomb in Jiangsu, and later found that there were many robbery caves around, and archaeologists felt that this burial chamber would definitely be looted.
No way, archaeologists continue to carry out rescue excavations of the tomb, and they find that the inside of the burial chamber has also suffered serious damage, which will mean that the contents will be gone.
In the final excavation, nearly 100 cultural relics were excavated through high-tech assistance, of which a "toad" was missed by the tomb robbers. Perhaps because the cultural relics are buried deep in the ground and difficult to excavate and take away, it is already gratifying for experts to have this discovery.
This toad is not a toad in the traditional sense, because it is more image-like as a whole, and it has two horns on its head and two wings on its body, and its eyes are out. The body is creeping and looks alive, as if it were real, and this brick platform is a rare treasure.
At the time of excavation, there was still ink on the stone platform, which would also prove that this artifact had been used before and was not a common sacrifice.
One can't help but wonder if the toad is not a symbol of disgust, and why do people still use this thing as an ornament? In fact, in ancient times, it was not called a toad, but a toad.
Toads are very auspicious animals and have the effect of suppressing evil spirits. Therefore, in the tombs of the Han Dynasty, the image of the toad was widely used and became an important factor in this period. The reason why they have wings is because these tomb owners hope that they can be incarnated as immortals.
Maybe these tomb robbers think that a toad is just worth much, so they will be left out in the tomb. This toad looks very strange, but the image is very vivid, and there are gilded on all sides, which has a very important influence on the study of history.
