"Guardian Liberation West 3" is over, and the happiness of once a week is gone...
As an old audience who has brushed the liberation of the West three times, the life of catching horses presented in the case makes people feel extremely real and full of drama.
I saw the costumed boys who insisted on their hobbies but were not understood, and finally gave up the world, and I saw young men and women who took drugs at a young age and embarked on the road of no return...
In addition to these cases, there is also a recurring location that impressed me.
That is - May Day Square.
Because here, I also saw "Guarding the Liberation of the West" more than 2,000 years ago.
Dingdong, you have a new police situation please check!
One witness, three different testimonies, how exactly should this case be handled?
Sun Shi, a worker of the deceased Zhao Ming's family, is the suspect in this case. After the incident, Youxian case-handling personnel Xie Xu and Huang Zhong called Sun Shi for interrogation.
In the process of torturing and extorting confessions, Sun Shi uttered her first confession:
However, when Xie Xu and Huang Zhong went to the inn to investigate and verify the accommodation information, they found that there were no such people at all. So they had to find Sun Shi again to collect evidence.
At this time, Sun Shi's testimony became:
In the course of the investigation, the Taishou Government of Changsha received a third testimony from Tang, the "Thief Cao Shi".
The three testimonies were different, bringing the case to an impasse.
Therefore, the superior Changsha Taishoufu sent a document to The "Concurrently Thief Cao Shi" Tang and Linxiang County, asking them to verify the contents that did not conform within the specified time and report it. However, in this process, "no one is guilty and beats people", and innocent people cannot be arrested and beaten.
The case came to an end...
Seeing this, are you wondering, where exactly was this "Guardian Of the Liberation of the Western And Eastern Han Dynasty" broadcast?
In fact, it was recorded on the Eastern Han Dynasty Jian Mu excavated in Wuyi Square.
▲ "A Brief Reading of China"
Jian Mu was the carrier used by people to write and record before the invention of paper. Generally speaking, the bamboo pieces used for writing are called "Jane", and the wood chips are called "Mu", and the Jian Mu is the collective name of the bamboo chips and wood chips that have not yet been compiled into a book.
However, behind this piece of Jane, in addition to the suspenseful and tortuous cases, there are also thoughts and love hidden in the letters.
In a late Warring States Qin tomb in Yunmeng, Hubei Province, two pieces of wooden mu were unearthed, which are the family letters written by two soldiers "Heifu" and "Surprise" to their brother "Zhen" during the Warring States period, and they are also the earliest family letters that have been found.

The letter was divided into two parts, one of which said that they were short of clothes and money and reported on the current situation:
▲ "A Brief Reading of China"
"Today is February Xin Weila, the younger brother "Heifu" and "Surprise" again to the eldest brother "sincere" you wrote a letter, the mother should be okay? We're both still alive... "Hef" wrote again, asking for money from you, and My mother hurried to make me summer clothes and send them over..."
Now it is "shocked" in the heartfelt greeting of the big brother, and the harmony outside the home depends on the big brother. ... Money and clothes, I hope my mother can send five or six hundred dollars to come... Urgent"
What are they anxious about?
Urgent, may die. Because "Heifu" and "Surprise" were soldiers who participated in the Qin Army's conquest in Huaiyang.
During the Warring States period, the age of service was 17 to 60 years old, and even sometimes reduced to 15 years old, during the long period of conquest, the state provided food, armor, and outer clothing that was close to the armor, but did not provide underwear to wear inside, and needed to bring its own.
Imagine what would happen to them when the weather was getting hotter and hotter during the war, and what would happen to them without money and thin underwear? Maybe it will be "dead" as "shock" said.
In addition to this, another part of the family letter is that they greet the family:
Although the main purpose of this letter was because of the lack of money and clothes in the foreign conquest, there were several words in their letters that appeared very frequently, which attracted special attention.
That's --
"No harm also".
They appear 11 times in just 527-word letters.
"Mother is not sick also?" Mom should be okay?
"For Heifu and Surprise asked The East Room Ji Shu to be safe?" Ask for the two of us how jishu is?
"Surprised to ask the new negative (woman) concubine (wan) no harm also?" The amazing new daughter-in-law should be okay? Wan should also be okay?
......
Why do "Hef" and "Shock" keep mentioning "No Harm" in their letters?
Because in that era when the princes were conquest and war was raging, as soldiers, they constantly faced war and death, and in the process, the unification war of the Qin State gradually ushered in the end.
This time, there was a rebellion in Huaiyang (Huaiyang was the capital of the Chu state), and the battle against the vast and powerful Chu state was destined to be difficult and long.
"Heifu and others directly support Huaiyang, attack the city for a long time, the wounds are not known, may the mother's widow Heifu use no less."
Life and death are uncertain, and the return date is undecided. They can't connect with their families over the air with a text message or a video call, as we do.
The distance is too far, I want to say too much, so I can only condense it into one "no harm" in the family letter to convey my thoughts...
▲ "A Brief Reading of China"
What is even more painful is that in that era of wolf smoke, there were thousands of soldiers who were far away from home and fought on the front line like "Hef" and "Shock", and how many family letters that we did not know and could not be delivered.
Fortunately, the family letters of "Heifu" and "Surprise" have now been found in Yunmeng, Hubei Province, and their thoughts have crossed a long distance to arrive home safely, and they have reached more than 2,000 years later.
As a letter, Jian Mu recorded the thoughts and reality that crossed the distance, and also recorded the love that crossed the distance.
▲ "A Brief Reading of China"
In 1979, a special "love letter" was unearthed from the Han Dynasty Beacon Site in Dunhuang Maquan Bay, Gansu Province.
It was written by Zhao Negative, who lived in Dunhuang Shouling, an "application form" for customs clearance.
"In the Shouling Tomb of Dunhuang, Zhao Negative said to himself, and his husband was a thousand autumns and used for his remains to order him to get out of the customs."
The husband xīn (訢) was guarding outside the Yumen Pass, and the wife hoped to send him cold clothes and daily necessities before the cold to apply for customs clearance.
The road is far away, the weather is getting cooler, but I can't stop my steps towards you.
The content of the "love letter" is short, but it can span thousands of years and make people feel the love of the wife for her husband.
From the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Jian Mu vividly and truly recorded more than a thousand years before the advent of paper:
The legal system of the past, such as the torture system of torture of witnesses in the case of Sun Shi's untrue confession at the beginning of the article, the long-term conquest of Heifu and "Shock", and the heavy and harsh system of servitude behind the self-prepared clothing and food.
The emotions of life in the past, the soldiers who fought abroad used family letters to convey their thoughts; the wife Zhao Negative sent warm clothes for her husband to apply for customs clearance...
Among the Jian Mu, a very representative one is Qin Jian of sleeping tiger land in Yunmeng County, Hubei Province.

In the "Yunmeng Qinjian" recorded the first "Environmental Protection Law" issued a thousand years ago- "Tian Law".
"Tian Lu": "In the spring and February, do not dare to cut down timber and forests and Yong (壅) Suishui." If it is not summer, do not dare to turn the night grass into ash, take raw lychee, musk (egg) fish, do not □□□□□□ poisonous fish turtle..."
"In the spring of February, it is not allowed to cut wood in the mountains and forests."
"You can't block the waterways, and you are not allowed to burn apples as fertilizer until summer..."

And the humane system of servitude, the Law of Discipline.
"The Law of Discipline": "Imperial Signs, Lack of Fu Xing, Zhao Erjia." Three to five days of loss of time, slander; six days to ten, one shield; ten days, one shield; after ten days, one shield. It gets (also), and the attainment. Water and rain, except for excitement.
"The imperial court conscripted conscription, and if there was no delay in the levy, two pairs of armor were punished to offset each other... If the rain does not start, then the levy can be exempted. ”
There are also aspects related to social life, such as the "Barn Law" in the "Book of the Day" that manages the construction of grain, and the "Star" that grows silkworms.
In Jian Mu, we see the life, emotions, institutions, and laws that were full of temperature in the past.
If "Guarding the Liberation of the West" uses horse-catching dramatization cases, people are full of resonance with the life of Pozi Street in Changsha. The stories, family letters, and love letters in that simple poem also let us see and feel the vivid life behind the words, thousands of years ago.
It's like a fun documentary, with every excavation, pressing the play button to bring distant history to life before our eyes.
