Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, between the Tang and Song Dynasties.
As a turning point, what role did Wu Yueguo play?
Li Yuxin wrote such a passage: The Anshi Rebellion, which marked the end of the Tang Empire's prosperity and rule, laid the foundation for the division of the feudal town, and the situation of military generals and external weights and internal lightness continued for two hundred years. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it returned to autocracy and centralization, and under the complete system of imperial examination and selection of scholars, the literati became the mainstream of the bureaucratic clique, and the emperor "ruled the world with the scholars." In the historical process of the rule of the warriors moving towards civilian politics, Wu Yueguo, who lived in a remote corner, led the era ahead of the times and became the leader of the enlightened politics of the Song dynasty.
Construction, water conservancy, navigation technology is unique; silk weaving, porcelain making, jade, engraving and gold and silver fabrication, is an important handicraft department of Wu Yueguo, "Yue Luo Wu Aya", "secret color porcelain", "golden flower silverware" famous at home and abroad.
Li Yuxin has been doing "continuous viewing" between Wu Yue and Song. This is certainly not a game.
Song porcelain, Song ci, Song edition books, many art reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. For example, Longquan Celadon laid the foundation for a gentle and thick aesthetic. The Song edition of the book is a model of the aesthetics of later generations of books. These can be found in the Wu Yue Kingdom prequel.

Five generations of chaotic times, Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Friday dynasty like a marquee, the country is short. Most of the ten kingdoms that existed at the same time were created by the warriors of the Central Plains who went south. But Wu Yue is different, if you want to evaluate, Li Yuxin will often use a sentence: the native people founded the country, and the good beginning and good end, the only Wu Yue.
Bold and wise, there is a difference between internal and external, and the relationship with next-door neighbors, Yang Wu and Southern Tang, is hostile. Some of them wanted to have a good relationship, such as Qian Yuanjue, the twelfth son of Qian Wei, who married Langya Junjun, the daughter of Wang Zhenzhi of Min.
The same is true for the Machu regime. In the fourth year of Tianyou (907), Zhu Wen usurped Tang and established Later Liang. Ma Yin, a native of Henan, adopted the policy of paying tribute to the Central Plains to oppose his strong neighbors, and declared him a vassal to Zhu Wen, who made him the king of Chu, and the Machu regime was established from then on, which was a local separatist regime established mainly in today's Hunan region during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Ma Yin's daughter Ma Shi married Qian Chuanxuan, Qian Biao's son.
A line-carved bronze mirror was unearthed in Hunan because Wu Yue had a marriage relationship with his family.
By the way, engraving an image on the back of the bronze mirror is also a tradition of Wu Yue and is the source. So far, 12 Wuyue line engraving mirrors have been unearthed.
The more enlightened way of ruling, the belief in buddhism and Taoism, the long-term peaceful and stable environment, the recovery and development of production, and the prosperity of commodity trade have greatly promoted the prosperity of Wuyue's handicraft industry.
Engraving pictures with sharp tools on the side of the bronze mirror is an emerging craft technology and the first creation of Wu Yueguo craftsmen during qian's reign, and the style of the times is obvious. Excavation data show that such line-carved bronze mirrors were unearthed in pagodas in the territory of Wuyue Kingdom, which should be the offerings of monks and laymen to the Buddha. Most of the engravings on the mirror are Buddhist themes, and some are engraved with clear chronology.
The Huangyan Lingshi Temple Pagoda is the most found, with a total of five sides, and one side is found in Hangzhou Leifeng Pagoda, Suzhou Yunyan Temple Pagoda, and Dongyang Zhongxing Temple Pagoda. The bronze mirror of the Water Moon Kannon, engraved on the line of the Seiryoji Temple in Kyoto, Japan, was brought back from Taizhou by the Japanese monks in the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty (986). There is an ink book on the mirror button belt "Taizhou female disciple Zhukou Niangshe Belt", which clearly shows that this bronze mirror was also created by Wu Yueguo craftsmen.
Huangyan Lingshi Temple Pagoda on the fourth floor of the North Heavenly Palace Iron Letter found in the southern Bilou Le fork Heavenly King line carved mirror, Zhou carved "Qiande four years on the 15th day of the 15th month of the 15th month of the 15th month of the 1st month of the 19th year of the 1st month of the 19th year of the 1st month of the 19th year of the 1st month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 1st month of the 19th month of the 19th month of the 19th month, the 15th day of the 15th month of the 1st month of the 15th month, the 15th day of the 1st month of the 1st month, the 15th day of the 1st month, the 1st month of the 1st month, the 1st month of the 1st month, the 1st month of the 1st month, the Two chronological texts appear on this bronze mirror, indicating that the Lingshi Pagoda was built in the fourth year of Qiande (966) in the later years of Wu Yueguo, 20 years after the return of the land to the Song Dynasty, and only completed in the first year of the Xianping Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty (998), which lasted more than thirty years.

Song porcelain is the logo of the Song Dynasty, and the "predecessor" Yue kiln celadon is naturally also the logo of Wu Yue.
Yue kiln celadon from the middle and late Tang Dynasty onwards listed as a local tribute, Famen Temple underground palace royal offering of Buddha celadon porcelain, determined by the object account as the "secret color porcelain" recorded in the literature. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yue kiln porcelain industry entered its heyday and became an important economic category of the Wu Yue State, yue kiln celadon became the most important tribute item, in just 18 years before the return to the Song Dynasty, Qian Li paid tribute to the Northern Song Dynasty court Yue kiln porcelain reached as many as 140,000 pieces.
The Tomb of shuiqiu clan unearthed a celadon brown cloud pattern smoker
Yue kiln celadon fired by Wu Yueguo has been found inside and outside the territory, tombs, shipwrecks, and tower bases. Many of the Yue kiln products unearthed in the territory of Liao (Khitan) are mainly celadon with fine patterns, some of which are tributes, and some of which may be related to the export trade of Yue kiln celadon porcelain.
Excavations at the Shanglin Lake and Silongkou kiln sites in Cixi show that the Yue kilns were at their peak during the Five Dynasties period, with major improvements in blank making, glazing, decoration, and firing with cassettes. Tomb data show that Yue kiln celadon was mostly excavated from the tombs of royals, royal families and high-ranking nobles. Shuiqiu's tomb unearthed 25 pieces of celadon porcelain, brown cloud pattern smoker, lid poppy, oil lamp three large utensils, underglaze painted Ruyi cloud pattern, for the early five generations of Yue kiln celadon fine works. The 44 pieces of secret color porcelain unearthed from "Kangling" are unprecedented discoveries, with dignified and simple shapes, delicate and dense carcasses, and verdant glaze color, which is a model of secret color porcelain in the middle of Wuyue. The dragon poppy unearthed from Qian Yuanwan's tomb, with a double dragon play bead in relief between the shoulders and abdomen, soaring clouds and driving the fog.
Celadon cups unearthed from "Kangling"
The high prosperity of Yue kiln celadon production, in addition to the tribute factor, another important driving force is export sales.
Qian Hongzuo was "involved in the voyage, and paid a million tributes". During the reign of Qian Li, the export of celadon was unprecedented, and Yue kiln celadon was discovered abroad. More than 300,000 pieces of Yue kiln celadon from the shipwreck in Ciribun, Indonesia, one is inscribed with the "Pengchen" (968) chronology, which can be dated to the mid-to-late 10th century.
We know that the overseas trade of the Song Dynasty represents the open attitude of the Song Dynasty, which is one of the Song Yun cultures. In Wuyueguo, shipbuilding and navigation technology were already very advanced.
Where is the farthest?
There is a profile. Wu Yue attacked the Yang Wu Southern Tang regime, using oil and fire to attack. Some speculate that the oil may come from Arabia.
In the exhibition of the Forest of Steles, there is a piece of "Yunmen Mountain Dayun Temple Heavy Makeup repair niche merit record" in the southern foothills of Yunmen Mountain in Qingzhou, Shandong, why did it run so far away from Shandong?
Wutai Mountain pays tribute, which is a transit station.
This meritorious deed is engraved on the cliff face of the southern foothills of Yunmen Mountain, 5 kilometers south of Chengzhou City, Shandong Province, located under the statue of the Eastern Niche excavated in the Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuxin has been there twice. The Sui Dynasty excavated the Buddhist shrine and built the Dayun Temple, which was later destroyed, and In order to inherit it, Wu Yueguo sent officials to stay in Qingzhou for many years to repair it, and the sermon Shamen Zhenjun specially carved this meritorious record to tell about this matter.
This man's name was Peng Renfu, "Living in Haidai, because of An Zhilu", Wu Yue Guangshun three years (953), he took his family and two daughters, stationed here. The commentaries on Shamen Zhenjun and the Qing Duan Songling's Yidu Jinshi Ji (Yidu Jinshi Ji) and other writings are important materials reflecting Wuyue's maritime traffic and Buddhist beliefs.
Including Yantai. There is an ancient temple on The Mountain of Kunming called Wujian Temple. In the fourth year of Tang Guanghua (901), the "Monument to the Wujian Temple" records the benefactors who donated funds to build the temple at that time, including Wang Qianjun of Pengcheng County, and the "Jilin (present-day Korea) JinQing Oshiya" of the "Jiabei Fusang (today's Ben)".
Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning and other Liao (Khitan) territories have unearthed Yue kiln celadon porcelain, which not only indicates that official contacts are close, but some may be related to the export trade of Yue kiln celadon porcelain. The Yue kiln celadon Kuikou Bowl and Melon Lid Jar excavated from the tomb of Yelü Yu in the fourth year (941) of the Liaohui Dynasty in Inner Mongolia are the same as the similar artifacts excavated from the "Kangling Tomb" in the fourth year of Lin'an Tianfu (939). Inner Mongolia Liao kaitai seven years (1018) Chen Guo princess tomb excavated Yue kiln celadon tangled chrysanthemum pattern plate, the bottom engraved "official" character, similar artifacts in Cixi camphor tree unearthed, Yue kiln celadon with "official" character is rare, this is an example.
The line-drawn mirror can also see that Wu Yue's diplomacy at that time was introduced to Japan very early.
Saitama Prefecture, Japan's personal collection of The Ruihua Shuangfeng Eight Prisms, line engraving of five statues of Amitabha Buddha, mirror back engraving "Yongyan 2nd Year 2 August 27th Xin Mi Tan Yue Punishment Department Clan Hongan Ya" wish text, Yongyan 2 years for 988 years, indicating that the Japanese monks in the Northern Song Dynasty Yongxi three years (986) from Taizhou with the line carved Water Moon Guanyin bronze mirror, line engraving mirror in Japan is a large number of creations.
According to research, the Tang Dynasty parrot mirror collected by the Three Buddhas Temple in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, was brought into Japan by the Envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century, and the mirror was engraved with Buddhist tantric statues, and the "Three Years of Changde (Three Years of the Northern Song Dynasty, 997)" and "Female Disciple Hirayama" were engraved. The line engraving mirror excavated from the White Pagoda of Gyeongju, The Right Banner of Bahrain, Inner Mongolia, with the mirror surface of "Shakyamuni Buddha", has an engraving of the fifth year of Liaoqian unification (1105), which is more than a century later than the Wuyueguo line engraving mirror.
In the late Goryeo period of the Korean Peninsula, there was also a tradition of carving Buddhist statues on the mirrors of Huzhou in the Song Dynasty. Line-engraved mirrors were found in Wuyue, Khitan and Japan, Korea and other places, reflecting the frequent maritime cultural exchanges in East Asia after the tenth century.

The power of the Song edition of the book, needless to say. Among the four major inventions, movable type printing also appeared in the Song Dynasty. Then we look forward, the engraving and printing handicraft industry that began in the Tang Dynasty has developed rapidly in the land of Wuyue in the southeast of An'an in the five generations of chaos.
According to the statistics of Zhang Xiumin, a native of Shengzhou, there are 682,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures printed by Qian Hongli and Gao Huiyanshou. Engraving and printing has been unprecedentedly developed in the Wuyue Kingdom, and the quantity and quality of the essence have been inherited by the Song Dynasty.
Qian Li opened the precedent of large-scale engraving of the scriptures in the official palace, and in the third year of Xiande (956), the year of Yi Ugly (965), and the year of Yi Hai (975), he carved and printed 84,000 volumes of the Baozhen Seal Sutra three times, hidden in copper, iron Ashoka Pagoda and Leifeng Pagoda, which had a far-reaching influence on the history of Chinese printing. Wu Yue carved Banze and his descendants, the Song Dynasty Hang carved crown in the whole country, relying on the solid foundation of the Qian clan's rule over the two Zhejiang dynasties. After Wu Yue returned to the Song Dynasty, the two prefectures of Hangzhou and Yue (Shaoxing) became important areas for engraving and printing in the early Song Dynasty.
The Vajrapani Prajnaparamita Sutra is a stone-carved Buddhist sutra
The Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra is a stone-carved Buddhist sutra
Let's talk about a few examples.
The statue of the Buddha of The Tibetan Monk of The Seonryo-ji Temple in Kyoto, Japan, which was brought home from Taizhou, contains the engraving "Statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva" carved by Jia Shen Nian (Yongxi First Year, 984) in the abdomen, and the upper left corner is engraved with "Yuezhou Monk Zhili Carving". In the first year of Yongxi, only six years after the return of Qian Junna to the Song Dynasty in the third year of the Taiping Revival (978), it is evident that Yuezhou, the "eastern capital" of the Wuyue Kingdom, that is, Shaoxing, is an important area for engraving and printing.
The inscription "The Great Sutra of the Great Suiqiu Dravidian Sutra" found in the pagoda of Ruiguang Temple in Suzhou, with the last inscription "Xianping Fourth Year (1001) November Day Hangzhou Zhao Zongbakai", indicates that the engraving and printing industry in the old Wuyue land is still extremely prosperous. The six great Tibetan scriptures carved by the two Song Dynasty folk or monasteries are all published in Wuyue's homeland, which is even more evident.
Let's talk about an important object again, that is, Qian Li's three-time printing and carving of the "Baozhen Seal Sutra".
In 956, King Qian Hongli of Wuyue first printed the Indrani Sutra of the Secret Of the Whole Body of all RulaiXin, which was found in the stone building of Tianning Temple in Huzhou in 1917 and is now in the Oriental Museum in Stockholm, Sweden). At the beginning of the volume, there is "King Wuyue, Marshal of the Capital of the World/ Qian Hongli Seal Bao zhen seal scripture / 84,000 scrolls offered in the pagoda / Yang Xiande three years of the year of the year". This incident was recorded in detail by Wang Guowei in the "Xiande Periodicals Of the Treasure Indrani Sutra".
In 1971, the Song Dynasty Stupa Underground Palace of Wuwei Middle School in Anhui Province unearthed the engraving of the Three Years of Xiande (956) "All Rulai Heart Secret Whole Body Relic Treasure Indrani Sutra", which is also the only discovery in China. After observation and control, it is printed on soft cotton paper, at least three sticks, reel packed, and the same version as the OrientalIst Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. This is very valuable information.
Wu Changshuo also collected a volume, 82 years old, and he inscribed a piece of text on the top, Zhu Wenfangyin, the "old man".
That doesn't tell the story yet.
The eight-cornered nine-story stone pagoda of Woljeongsa Temple in Goryeo also unearthed an engraved copy of the Baozhen Seal Sutra, the first inscription of the volume is 5 lines and 43 characters: "The Lord of the Goryeo Kingdom Holds the Temple's Main Zhen Nian / Gwangji Master Shi Hongzhe Jingzo / Baoji Seal Plate Print Shi Pu'an / When offering in the stupa / Tonghe Twenty-five Years ding Wei Nian". In the 25th year of the Liao Shengzong Dynasty, the content of the layout text and title painting was almost the same as that of Wu Yuexiande's "Baozheng Seal Classic".
Perhaps, Li Yuxin said, the Goryeo edition of the Baozhen Seal Sutra originated from Wu Yueguo, or the two used the Tang Dynasty version together. In view of the fact that no earlier version of the Baozhi Seal Sutra has been found than wu yuexiande's edition, combined with the close contact between Wu Yue and the Liao Dynasty and many similar technological achievements, the Goryeo edition of the "Baozhen Seal Classic" should be imitated from Wu Yueguo. That is to say, the Buddhist scriptures of Wu Yue Guoyin are their original materials.
After the collapse of the Leifeng Pagoda, the scrolls were scattered, and the printing shops and booksellers in Hangzhou imitated the original engravings and sold them, and some of them were dyed and used to deceive collectors. The identification of the Leifeng Pagoda Tibetan Scriptures, to paraphrase Yu Pingbo, "The way of discernment, only in seeing more, naturally to the point of discernment." ”
There is also a physical object.
When repairing the Feiying Pagoda in Huzhou, it was found that Wu Hanyue, the mother of Qian Li in the first year of Guangshun (951), had entered the Tiantai Mountain lacquer letter, inlaid with screws, and the letter contained the engraved book of the Lotus Sutra folded into the "Lotus Sutra of the Myofa Lotus". It is now in the Huzhou Museum.
It's too important. "One is the earliest, and more importantly, it is a large-character version, just like our later Song editions. Moreover, not only is the version large, but the way of binding - our standard way is called reel loading, and it is already folded, it can be said that the binding design is greatly ahead. ”
A stone scripture, a lotus flower, large to the system, small to the utensils, Li Yuxin is looking for clues, one by one comparison, slowly thinking, "Subtle places, you have to think, sometimes as long as you think, you can match." ”
There is a pattern, which resembles a lid on top, is an upside-down lotus leaf, and in the middle is a columnar sign with an inscription written on it, decorated with petals on the edges, and a lotus seat underneath. Such a form was widely popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. For example, a bronze medal was unearthed from the Northern Song Dynasty Underground Palace of Fazang Temple in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, which is a standard template. In the stone carved Buddhist scriptures of Leifeng Pagoda, there are already prototypes, but the inscription in the middle cannot be seen.

During the thirty years of Qian Li's reign over Wuyue, he built pagodas, carved scriptures, rebuilt Lingyin Temple, founded The Yongming Zen Temple (now Jingci Temple), built the Imperial Concubine Pagoda (Leifeng Pagoda), liuhe Pagoda, and Baochu Pagoda, and the land of Wuyue became a veritable "southeast Buddhist kingdom".
A gilded bronze water moon Guanyin statue excavated from the Jinhua Wanfo Pagoda Underground Palace
Tell me about a stupa that everyone doesn't know much about, the Zhongxing Temple Pagoda in Dongyang.
It collapsed in 1963 and unearthed more than 170 pieces of cultural relics, including gold and silverware, bronzeware, ceramics, lacquered wood, stoneware, glassware, and warp scrolls. Among them, the "New Brick Pagoda Relic of Zhongxing Temple in Dongchang County, Wuzhou" records the experience of building a pagoda in the first year of Jianlong (Gengshen year) Tiantai Guoshi Deshao and other meritorious masters.
Zhongxing Temple Pagoda unearthed "Wuzhou Dongchang County Zhongxing Temple New Brick Pagoda Relic"
The pagoda excavated 7 copper Ashoka Pagodas, including 2 copper Ashoka Pagodas made by Qianqi "Yi Di Nian" and 5 copper Ashoka Pagodas made by folk.
The pagoda of Zhongxing Temple unearthed the "Three Pounds thirteen two" gilt bronze Ashoka Pagoda
When Qian Hongli was in Taizhou as an assassin, he was less than 20 years old, and the famous monk Deshao of Tiantai Mountain expected that he would become king, saying, don't stay in Taizhou, you still hurry back to Hangzhou. After returning to Hangzhou, in the first year of Qianyou (948), he caught up with the coup d'état, attacked the throne in chaos, and became king.
He was very grateful to this prophet, invited him to Hangzhou, and awarded him the Wuyue Guoguoshi, known as the "Tiantai Guoshi". Under the impetus of Deshao, Qian Hongli greatly promoted Buddhism, created a temple and a pagoda, and built statues and published scriptures.
At present, nearly 30 copper and iron Ashoka pagodas have been found to be made by Qian, mostly distributed in Hangzhou, Anguo Yijinjun, Mingzhou, Yuezhou, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Wuzhou, Xiuzhou, Fuzhou and other places under the jurisdiction of Wu Yueguo. The northernmost discovery in the Jingzhi Temple Pagoda Palace, which was re-closed in the first year (976) of the Taiping Xingguo of the Northern Song Dynasty in Dingzhou, Hebei, should be brought to the north by Qian Li during the ninth year of Kaibao (976) when he was on a pilgrimage to the Song Dynasty. The copper Ashoka Pagoda excavated from Lianjiang and Minhou in Fujian is the southernmost discovery.
The production of the Ashoka Pagoda in the Song Dynasty is still based on the homeland of the five generations of Wu Yueguo. Affected by the Wuyue yu wind, the geographical distribution has reached the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it has also been found in the underground palaces of Nanjing, Jiangsu and Qingyang, Anhui. Wu Yue's kingdom returned to the Song Dynasty, qian li's footprints arrived, and pagodas poured out in the capital Ofe and the fiefdom of Dengzhou.
The Leifeng Pagoda Underground Palace unearthed gilt and silver Ashoka Pagoda
The "Xian chun Lin'an Zhi" records: "There were Xizhu monks who turned to wisdom, ice yan yiyi robes, people called paper clothes, walked to the Hainan countries, to Japan, suitable for Wu Yue Zhongyi king with hardware to cast 100,000 pagodas, with five hundred envoys to Japan", in the Heian period in Japan, Wakayama Nachi Sutra Tomb, Nara Daihoyama Sutra Tomb, and Kyushu Island Fukuoka and other places, also unearthed many times "Qian Hongchu Pagoda". At least three copper Ashoka Pagodas have been found in Japan.
5.
Finally, wu Yueguo's great killing weapon, astronomy, was sacrificed.
During the Two Song Dynasties, the creativity of scholars representing the intellectual class was brought into full play, and many famous scientists appeared, and there were many scientific and technological celestial groups, among which there were Su Song and Shen Kuo in astronomy, who jointly promoted the improvement of calendars and celestial instruments.
In the five highest-ranking royal tombs of The Wuyue Kingdom, Qian Kuan, Shui Qiu, Ma Shi Kangling, Qian Yuanwan and Wu Hanyue, a number of astronomical astrological charts, or painted or engraved, have been found, and the astronomical astrological charts found in China are of the earlier era.
For example, the astronomical astrological chart chiseled into the tomb of Qian Yuanhuan in the Forest of Steles Museum has an accurate and complete position of the stars, which has become a special form of tomb art. On the second floor of the exhibition, a stone-carved astronomical map of the top of Qian Yuanwan's tomb is exhibited.
The top of Qian Yuanwan's tomb is carved with astronomical figures
Downstairs, there is also a special astrological chart. In 2012, an epitaph was discovered in Yangzhou, which was the son of Qian Dang, qian Dang, qian's younger brother who defected to Yang Wu in 911.
In April 2012, it was excavated from an infrastructure construction site in Xiazhuang, Sanxing Village, Chengbei Township, Yangzhou City. From the epitaph, it is confirmed that the owner of the tomb is Qian Kuangdao, who served in Yang Wu's regime.
Qian Kuangdao's life is not recorded in the historical records, but the epitaph records his place of origin and the names of his great-grandfather, emperor, father, and emperor, and also records the marital status of himself and his five sisters. Zhiwen's records on the three major families of WuYueGuo Qian, Yang Wu Donghai Xu and Ru Nan Zhou can restore their family lineage to a certain extent, make up for the lack of historical records, and provide first-hand information for the study of the history of Jianghuai during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
A few more steps, his epitaph cover, deliberately placed on the opposite side, is also a map of the stars and gossip.
On the cover of the epitaph is a map of the stars and gossip (partial)
Qian Kuangdao's epitaph cover
The outer circle is the direction, the four square gods, the Suzaku Xuanwu Green Dragon White Tiger, the inner circle is the twenty-eight stars, and the inner circle is the zodiac sign, and there are four peony patterns on the four sides. We also saw the Big Dipper, the North Pole, and the Sun and Moon, as well as the Qiankun Bagua that is easy to overlook—and the astrological chart of Wu Hanyue's tomb has no Gossip.
The murals in Wu Hanyue's tomb are three-dimensional structure of stars and images of the four directions and zodiac signs, while Qian Kuangdao's epitaph cover, a small plane, brings together all the stars and directions. Designers had to convert three-dimensional space into flat space, but also in the opposite direction—the sky to the epitaph cover on the ground. He also carefully considered the "viewing effect", if people looked down, they looked down at the epitaph cover. Therefore, many people do not understand, why the direction of Suzaku Xuanwu and the Twenty-Eight Stars is opposite to that on our map. Is it a mistake?
part
This is the designer's elaborate design, brain-burning work, the amount of information is too large.
Wait, it's not over yet. Is this just an epitaph cover that shows the decorative nature of astronomical technology?
Looking carefully at the Big Dipper sign, the bucket handle clearly points to the time of the death of the tomb owner - I walked back to the epitaph and looked at it again, Tianzuo 2 december 2 December 2000 (Figure 6727), there are still two days before New Year's Day, Nonzi, equivalent to 11 p.m. now, and then walk back to see this bucket handle, it refers to the place is due north, equivalent to December, and the handle is just in the middle of the time of Nonzi.
Hidden mysteries. This epitaph cover is a concentrated embodiment of Wu Yueguo's astrological and calendar strength.
