We know that the development of the times will lead to the progress of science and technology, and infrastructure work is an important foundation to promote progress, with the increase of infrastructure projects, many hidden under the dust of cultural relics are gradually exposed in front of people, it is precisely because of the excavation of these cultural relics, to reveal the secrets of ancient culture. On February 24, 2011, workers found something strange at a construction site in Jiangsu Province, because they found a lot of old soil around the construction site, and experienced people knew that this was an ancient tomb.
The person in charge immediately reported the situation to his superiors, and when the archaeological team arrived, he quickly sealed off the place and carried out rescue excavations. Through research, it was found that the tomb here is a relatively common pouring tomb, which is not as grand as the royal tomb in construction, so experts believe that this is a tomb of a rich family. In it, experts found three coffins, which were also treated with simple embalming.
Items found in the three coffins are different, and some Ming Dynasty artifacts were found in the first two coffins. But most of them are very common daily necessities, such as clay pots, clothing, etc., which are not too high in terms of historical value in research. In the last coffin, a soaked corpse was found, and the reason why this body felt different was because the body was wrapped in a quilt, and such an embalming method was indeed rare.
Experts have thus determined that the body inside should not have completely decayed after such a package. However, according to the time of speculation, this is after all a tomb of the Ming Dynasty, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes and changes, it may also have turned into white bones under the grind of time. Therefore, the experts professionally handled the coffin and brought it into the room before carefully opening the quilt. After the true face of the body was revealed, experts found a female corpse with a clearly visible face.
When all the clothes on his body were gone, he found a surprising thing. Because experts believe that this is a typical Jiangnan woman, and at the same time, her face is good, even if it is observed in the current aesthetic concept, her appearance is also very beautiful. With the help of such an embalming method, the body maintains a certain integrity, in fact, in addition to the quilt wrapping, but also because the burial chamber is airtight, coupled with the addition of yellow-brown liquid in the coffin for preservation, the body has reached this level of integrity.
Because the burial chamber is relatively simple, there are not many valuable cultural relics, and there is no inscription, so experts cannot speculate on the identity of the tomb owner. However, from the details of the female corpse, it can be seen that she has an emerald ring on her hand, and her face is luxurious, presumably a family member of a rich and noble family. According to the ancient burial customs, there should be a large number of funerary items in the tomb, but the epitaph and funerary products do not conform to the traditional cognition, and thus form a mystery.
However, from Jiangsu to dig out the corpse of the Ming Dynasty women, a hundred years of uncorrupted hands holding gems, experts after removing clothes: beauty, such a thing, the history and culture left by the ancients have a certain research value, we can also recognize the living traditions of the ancients and their attitude in the face of life and death through the excavation of cultural relics. At the same time, it also has a very important significance in promoting the study of cultural relics in the same period, and it is precisely because of this environment that Chinese civilization can continue and last for a long time.
