This is a real thing that happened. At that time, the old farmer was preparing to renovate his dilapidated house. When digging the foundation, the construction team felt that they had touched something hard. There were experienced People feel that things are definitely not that simple.

Later, everyone worked together to dig out this thing, only to find that it was a blood-red coffin. Coffins have polarized views among the people in our country. Some places think that seeing a coffin is? It means getting promoted and getting rich, and some places think it is a sign of great misfortune. What's more, the color of this coffin is very different from ordinary coffins. Generally, coffins are black, but this coffin is blood red all over. The soil is soaked with water.

Later, some experts heard the news and rushed over, but they could only see ashes. The experts lamented that 500 million yuan had been burned in this way.

Why do experts sigh so much?

Tomb culture has a very long history in our country. The so-called "tomb" in layman's terms refers to the place where the corpse of the deceased is buried, and the so-called "burial" refers to the way of placing the corpse. They are different but closely related, so modern archaeology calls them burial culture.

Since ancient times, our Chinese ancestors have attached great importance to funeral matters. In the tomb of the deceased, there are often many items that he used or liked during his lifetime, and these things were used by later generations. After being excavated and studied, it will well reflect the social politics, economy, culture, religion and other knowledge at that time.

The burial customs and burial systems displayed in tombs are often regarded as a microcosm of the society at that time, so the study of tombs is of considerable significance.

For example

Many cultural relics have been unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, including plain gauze robes that cannot be imitated until now, and also cannot be imitated now. The corpse preservation technology, and what is even more surprising is the long-lost Taoist thought, which is very different from today.

There are three tombs in the Mawangdui Han Tomb. One is Li Cang, a Taoist leader who helped Liu Bang conquer the world, one is his son, and the other is a woman.

The Taoist ideas unearthed in the tomb of Li Cang's son have been lost for many years. We all know how the Yellow Emperor subdued the Sanmiao and Jiuli tribes after defeating Chi You, and how he governed the world. More than two thousand people Over the years, Confucian scholars have said that the Yellow Emperor ruled from the top of an arch, with the ruler and ministers being father and son. But the "Emperor's Four Classics" inside did not say that. The records inside made everyone dumbfounded.

Shoot them, and those who hit more will be rewarded. The sky where it was built was called Chi You's Jing. Fill the stomach with a bow and make people hold on to it. Those who hit more will be rewarded. Rot his flesh and bones, throw them into the grave, and make the whole world eat them.

The general meaning of this sentence is that Chi You's skin was peeled off and made into a target, Chi You's head was made into a flag, his stomach was made into Cuju, and the bones were chopped into mud and made into meat. Sauce, deliberately given to the surrendering tribes.

The reason why Huang Di did this was because Chi You was too cruel during his lifetime, and Huang Di followed the "Tao" by doing this. There are many ancient books unearthed in the Mawangdui Han Tomb, totaling 120,000 words. Many ancient books are actually quite different from the current popular versions.

For example, the "Tao Te Ching" we read puts Tao first and virtue last. However, the one unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb is exactly the opposite. It is called "The Tao Te Ching". In addition to the difference in names, the records in the classics are also different. For example, the one we see now is "late bloomer", while the one in Mawangdui Han Tomb is "qi fucheng". The difference in one word, but the meaning is completely different. .

So the significance of archeology is very important. We can unearth the unsolved mysteries of history, we can inherit the long-lost wisdom of our ancestors, we can understand the clues of our ancestors, and we can understand better. to the nation’s past glory.

If this blood coffin was completely burned by the old man's fire, if it is scientifically studied, a lot of history will definitely burst out. It is a pity that such a precious cultural relic is actually in this place. Destroyed overnight.
