Foreword: Among the archaeological discoveries on the mainland, many of them are of great significance, such as the corpse of the han tomb woman excavated from Mawangdui before - Lady Xin Chai. After the excavation, because it is well preserved, it has also become an important historical material in many fields such as medicine and culture. After her excavation, it also attracted the attention of the United States, Japan, etc., and has been trying to exchange mrs. Xin Chai's hair for research, but the mainland archaeology community is still very firm: resolutely do not give.
The state of Mrs. Xin Chai when she was unearthed
In that year, Mawangdui unearthed this wet corpse more than 2,000 years ago, which also shocked the world. When the coffin lid is opened, the corpses presented in front of people's eyes are very fresh, and it is completely impossible to see that they are ancient people more than 2,000 years ago. Both the shape and the overall elasticity of the body are well preserved. And in the process of injecting preservatives into her body, her blood vessels still react, but because of technical limitations, her eyeballs and tongue are also convex, but the flaws are not hidden, she is still the oldest wet corpse unearthed in the world today.
Through scientific means of observation of her remains, in which X-ray films, it was found that the bone state is still good, better than the normal state of 60 years old. At the same time, the external skin still maintains elasticity, and the joints, cartilage tissue, etc. are also in good condition. This is a very significant discovery for both the archaeological and medical communities, and it is highly researched and historical.
How unearthed to be found
In that year, because of the construction of the hospital in the local area, there was a landslide during the construction process, when archaeologists found that there should be an ancient tomb in this area, so the project was suspended and systematic excavation was carried out here. In the process of excavation, 3 large tombs were indeed found, which were named Mawangdui No. 1- No. 3 tombs at that time.
In addition to a large number of cultural relics unearthed, a well-preserved female corpse was also unearthed, because the seal unearthed in the tomb was written "Xin Chai", and the female corpse was named "Lady Xin Chai". In addition to the skin, joints, etc. mentioned above, the hair on her whole body is also well preserved, which is also an incredible place. After all, among the tombs currently unearthed, such a female corpse is unique, and the research value is also very high.
Other countries want: Impossible
Because of Mrs. Xin Chai's discovery, it also caused a great sensation in the world at that time. Many other countries also visited China and were shocked by the corpse. Even some countries have repeatedly asked for Mrs. Xin Chai's hair, and the most famous in that year were the United States and Japan.
The United States wanted to exchange lunar soil for Mrs. Xin Chai's hair, but it was directly rejected by the mainland archaeology community. And Japan is even more persistent, repeatedly proposing to get Mrs. Xin Chai's hair. When Japan visited China before, she also put forward the idea of wanting Mrs. Xin Chai's hair as a gift, but it was also rejected, because this wet corpse was a major discovery by the archaeological community on the mainland, and she was also an important cultural heritage, and her hair could not be given to other countries for any reason.
To sum up: in today's science and technology, a hair is enough to study a lot of things, including DNA sequences, various chromosomal information, etc., these things are very important scientific and cultural discoveries, and indeed can not be easily given to others.
