The number of cultural relics largely determines the cultural heritage of an ancient country, China's 5,000 years of culture has a long history, Chinese people wearing gorgeous silk clothes sitting in the elegant room drinking tea, Westerners also wear animal skins in thatched huts to fight for survival, it is also with such a deep heritage, the land of China treasures are innumerable, especially the Spring and Autumn Warring States period formed a thick burial custom, which makes the treasures in the underground tomb more numerous, modern us, In 1980, a villager in Baojiaba Village accidentally dug up a huge stone rafter, and he immediately reported it to the Archaeological Research Institute, but when the experts rushed over to open the inner coffin inside the stone rafter, they were startled.
At that time, the expert rushed to the scene, because there was no epitaph or more information, only from the tomb structure roughly judged that this is the tomb of the Ming Dynasty period, and this stone rafter looks very grand, which makes the expert very excited, this ancient tomb is certainly not general, and the coffin is too closed, there is no gap at all, let alone open the coffin, the entire stone rafter is poured outside, it must be cleaned up to open the coffin, everyone is looking forward to finding treasures, so do not feel tired, After several hours of busy work, the coffin finally moved out of a crack, to everyone's surprise is that there are two coffins inside, experts judge that this is a husband and wife burial tomb, and when the first coffin was unveiled when an opening was opened, everyone was surprised and almost called out, because a pungent strange news came out, but the experts were very happy, which showed that the coffin was not only a bone, it may be a dry corpse, and when the coffin lid was uncovered, everyone was stunned.
Inside is a living corpse lying in the brownish yellow liquid, it looks like it has not been buried for a long time, the skin of the entire corpse is still elastic, the eyebrows are clearly visible, the joints can also be rotated freely, this is simply a kui treasure, the research value is too high, and then the expert excitedly opened the second coffin again, which is a female corpse of hundreds of years, although the preservation effect is not as good as the male corpse, but it is also a wet corpse, and from the perspective of the tomb owner's clothing, this is obviously not an ordinary person, But the experts searched the entire burial chamber and did not find an epitaph or something that could prove the identity of the tomb owner, at this time an expert cleared out a stone stele in the corner, which said that the owner of the tomb was xu fan, he was a Ming Dynasty Sanpin official, and the woman in the second coffin was his wife Zhang Panlong. This is indeed a husband and wife burial tomb! Although there are no valuable objects such as porcelain and jade unearthed, the clothes of the owner of the tomb have attracted the attention of experts!
Then the experts carried the body back to the laboratory for research, the expert found that the outermost layer of the male tomb owner was wearing a peacock complement, which showed that he was a three-pin civil official, but the female tomb owner's body wore 8 layers of clothes, the outermost layer was a unicorn complement, the second layer of coat was embroidered with a crane, which was at least the second-grade official was eligible to wear, it may be that the hostess married a three-pin civil official, but this is always a mystery, just when everyone took off the hostess's last dress, it was found that she had embroidered three gold behind her vest. This is what the ancients used to ward off evil and seek good fortune. And the hostess's clothing is gorgeous, which shows that the embroidery skills at that time were already very skilled, and the small feet were also wrapped, which also shows that foot binding was very popular at that time, whether it was nobles or commoners.
After all this is done, the biggest puzzle is, why are these two corpses still incorruptible after more than 460 years? Is it the same as the Egyptian mummy to remove the internal organs first, experts found that the internal organs of the two corpses are complete after dissection, but the male corpse found parasites, after pathological analysis found that the male corpse suffered from coronary heart disease before death, which may be the cause of his death, in order to preserve the body more intact, the expert will remove the internal organs of the body, re-do the scientific embalming treatment after storage, the secret of the body is not decomposed let the experts wonder, the expert finally thought of the 1972 Mawangdui unearthed Mrs. XinChai, The secret of Mrs. Xin Chai's incorruption is the sealing of the coffin liquid and the coffin, and sure enough, after testing, it was found that the coffin liquid contained Chinese herbal ingredients, and the coffin was also sealed into a closed space, even if the groundwater infiltration will not enter the coffin, this is the secret of the two corpses.
In order to find out the identity of the owner of the tomb, the experts went through a large number of Ming histories, and finally found the record of Xu Fan, who was indeed a clean and honest magistrate, which can be seen from his funerary products and the ornaments used before his death, and at that time, the men were three wives and four concubines, but this Xu Fan was a single person, dead or alive and unwilling to marry a concubine, it can be said that the husband and wife are deeply in love, the two respect each other in ordinary days, life is also frugal, the money saved is to do civil affairs, for the benefit of the people, The remains of the couple have also become national treasures in the Taizhou City Museum, but they also deserve such a generous burial treatment.
