Chapter five hundred and eight.
Everyone was very excited when they looked at the opened coffin, including Lin Yi. Captain Zhang signaled the person to come over, took the camera, took a photo of the coffin first, and then carefully opened the entire coffin lid.
Another pungent smell came towards us. Although the few people were wearing masks, they still felt disgusted. Captain Zhang looked at him and was immediately stunned.
Seeing that he had a strange expression, Lin Yi looked at him curiously, and then he was stunned.
In the coffin was a very well-preserved mummy. What was shocking was that the usual corpses were lying flat, but this one was pushed up with both hands and her legs were bent outwards. The most terrifying thing was that her head was raised with force and her mouth was wide open, as if she was shouting hard, with an extremely painful look on her face.
Everyone was stunned, or was scared. Although mummies are not uncommon in archaeology, there are very few who are well preserved like this. The more famous ones are Mrs. Xin Zhui and the beautiful mummy in Xinjiang.
There are many masters in the archaeological team. Just when Lin Yi was in a daze, the master had already stood up. He was a woman, responsible for conducting a preliminary examination of the body--after the inspection, he would hand it over to an authoritative organization for a second inspection.
According to preliminary identification by the female archaeological team member, the body should be a woman, about twenty years old, and she lived about four hundred years ago. The body had neither signs of injury nor signs of poisoning. Why was it buried in such a strange posture?
After careful observation, people found a black thing between the legs of the corpse. After studying for a long time, they could not tell what it was.
Lin Yi was also watching, but he was not a professional after all, and he did not have much say in these things. But seeing that everyone was puzzled by this, Lin Yi couldn't help but say: "That...that black thing, could it be the placenta?"
Captain Zhang's eyes lit up and he said, "It's possible, but it's time to check it."
The woman couldn't help but look at Lin Yi, then stepped forward and took a little to study---
After a moment, she nodded to Captain Zhang.
Needless to say, after examination, the black thing between the female corpse's legs was really a complete placenta!
Everyone was extremely frightened and calmed down and thought carefully, and agreed that the facts should be like this.
The woman was in shock after giving birth. Her family mistakenly thought she died and buried her. As a result, she woke up and found herself in the coffin, struggling desperately for help, and she leaked the placenta, and eventually suffocated to death in the coffin.
She called for help for four hundred years but no one answered, but she didn't expect to be rescued now.
If everyone feels regret and horror about this poor woman and her fate, then Lin Yi's eyes are now on the funeral objects beside the woman.
To be precise, she has quite a lot of funeral objects, many of which are jewelry, jewelry, jade bracelets, night pearls, etc.--
However, Lin Yi was not concerned about these things, but an ancient book with brocade yellow satin - a suicide note for the ancient tomb!
It is very common for women to bury jewelry in coffins, and very few are burying ancient books. Think about it, it is too strange. Because most of the people who read books in ancient times were men, and women were taught by the traditional tradition of being without talent, and few women read, so there were very few ancient books in many ancient women's tombs. Even if there were some, there were some "Women's Training", "Biography of Women", and feudal women's monographs that taught the content of "Three Obediences and Four Virtues".
Lin Yi looked at the Han Ancient Book, and felt a fever in his heart. He couldn't help looking at Captain Zhang. Captain Zhang knew what he meant. However, this ancient book looked very good, unlike those in the Southern Song Dynasty tombs, which were all filthy and muddy, so there was no need to repair them. However, Lin Yi's hopeful gaze still made Captain Zhang cough and said, "Please pick up the burial objects slowly for now... Well, I don't know if there is any problem with Han Ancient Book. Comrade Lin, please help me check it."
Lin Yi was waiting for this sentence, nodded immediately, put on white gloves again, and took out the ancient book of the letter with great care.
...
What is it?
"Women's Training", "Female Sutra", "Biographies of Women", or---
While guessing, Lin Yi gently opened the letter and saw the four big characters "Zhu Family Genealogy" above!
Family tree?
It turned out to be --- family tree!
That’s right, it is the most authoritative family of ancient families and the most popular collection of public sacrifices.
As the saying goes, the country has history, the local area has ambitions, and the family has genealogy. Genealogy, also known as genealogy, genealogy, family genealogy, family genealogy, etc., is a historical book that records the lineage and related deeds of the family, reflecting the reproduction and development process of the family. As early as oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, there are records of the prototype of the genealogy.
Lin Yi remembers clearly that the great scholar Liang Qichao once said in "The Academic History of China's Nearly Three Hundred Years": "Every family in my country has a genealogy, which is really a treasure in the historical world. In the future, there will be a national library that can collect all the genealogies of the world, so that scholars can study the sciences and make it an immortal profession." An ancient country of civilization has experienced the changes of the world. No matter how big or small the family, no matter how high or low the family, all have rich family stories. These subtle and vivid family history and personal life history together weave a long scroll of Chinese history.
For a long time, as a sacred symbol of the clan, the genealogy has been hidden among the people and is not revealed to others. With the changes of the times, the historical value and collection value of the genealogy are becoming more and more popular among collectors, and many long-standing genealogy have entered the vision of collection institutions and the public.
As a collector, in Lin Yi's view, today's genealogy, especially the royal celebrity genealogy, will become a new hot spot for future investment in the colony, and its market appreciation potential cannot be ignored.
When it comes to celebrity family genealogy, the first thing Lin Yi thought of is to recommend the "No. 1 Genealogy in the World" - "The Genealogy of Confucius".
As far as Lin Yi knows, among the genealogy of Confucius, the lead-printed "Cistrict of Confucius" compiled by Confucius' 77th generation Kong Decheng equals to 1937 is the most complete. From this we can see that Confucius' descendants have had single births many times, and since Confucius' descendants have been single-born for seven generations, and the population of Kong's family has gradually increased since the ninth generation. The genealogy contains 182 Kong descendants scattered across the country. The full spectrum is 154 volumes, with a strict format and appropriate tailoring. It is currently the line-mounted genealogy with the largest number of volumes in China.
However, the genealogy of the Kong family, which has the most historical and research value, should be the "Collection of the Confucius Family" compiled by Kong Shangren, a dramatist in the Qing Dynasty.
The text of the plot is printed in vermilion movable type, which is extremely exquisite. Liang Qichao, who was once the director of the Beijing Library, collected this plot. In the lower right corner of the first volume, there is a square seal of Liang Qichao's negative text. The person in charge of the National Library's Square Chronicles said that the dramatist Kong Shangren is both a character in the plot and a editor of the genealogy. This plot was once collected by celebrities and is a treasure in the family genealogy.
In fact, in addition to the genealogy of celebrities with higher collection value, the genealogy of greater value is "Yu Zi", that is, the genealogy of the emperor's family.
As far as Lin Yi knows, Taoshu notes have records, the most famous of the "Yuzi" is the royal family genealogy of the Song Dynasty, "Xianyuanleiji".
This genealogy records the royal family lineages of Emperor Taizu of Song, Emperor Taizong and King Wei after the sixth generation, and is the earliest jade book that can be seen today. This jade book was about the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. Although only one page of the residual genealogy remains, it is extremely precious because there are very few jade books in the Song Dynasty. Currently, there are only two royal genealogies, which are stored in the National Library and the Shanghai Library.
In contrast, the content of the Qing Dynasty jade book records is more detailed and gorgeously bound. More than a thousand existing Qing Dynasty jade books are the only royal family tree in my country that has been preserved and survived to this day. The author saw the "Genealogy of the Fourteenth Son of the Emperor Shengzuren, Duluo Xunqin, County Prince of the Prince of the County Prince of the Emperor Shengzuren" is a copy of the Qing Dynasty. It was compiled in the 19th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. It records the lineage of the fourteenth son of Duluo Xunqin, County Prince of the County Prince of the Kangxi, from the Yun generation to the sixth generation. Aisin Gioro Yunxian, was deeply loved by Aisin Gioro Yunxian.
In his later years, Emperor Kangxi favored him and made many military achievements. He stationed in the northwest. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he was detained and imprisoned. He died in June of the 20th year of Qianlong and was posthumously named "Qin". The text in this transcript has three colors, the first is black, the second is vermilion, and the third is vermilion covered with black. Black is used for the deceased ancestors, and the red color is used for the fashionable and healthy people in the compilation of the genealogy. The last one is the name of the person who has not died when he first compiles the genealogy and died when he later compiles the genealogy.
In Lin Yi's view, from the Qing Dynasty jade books, future generations can see royal disputes such as the replacement of imperial power, palace struggles, and the inheritance of royal titles over the past 200 years. The jade books are also the most complete Qing Dynasty royal demographic data in China. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty jade books are the treasures that countless collectors dream of, and it is even possible to be called "national treasures".
But the "Zhu Family Genealogy" in front of me is special, because this ancient tomb was from the Ming Dynasty, and the national surname of the Ming Dynasty was "Zhu". In addition, this ancient tomb is a rare "three coffins and one coffin", which further illustrates the extraordinaryness of the owner of this tomb. Specifically for this female mummy, it is not a golden branch or jade leaf, and it is definitely related to the Zhu family royal family.
Seeing Lin Yi staring at the ancient book with the letter, Captain Zhang and others couldn't help but wonder what happened? Is there any secret in this ancient book? People are very curious, so everyone came over.
Lin Yi didn't say anything and handed them the book to them for a closer look. Captain Zhang, Ye Qiu, Jiang Le, and others from the archaeological team all came over to see it.
"Zhu Family Genealogy"?
As long as you are not a fool, you will be in a big deal this time!
Why?
The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty had the surname Zhu!
Coupled with the formation of "three coffins and one coffin", this mistress who was basically buried alive must be a royal family powerful person!
Excited, nervous!
Everyone who was already exhausted was as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Captain Zhang stuttered a little, and he only said one sentence to the big guy, "Call the superiors quickly!"
There is no doubt that from tomorrow, major domestic media will gather here--
New archaeological discoveries are about to be born!
Chapter completed!
