The role of Lu silk script in grave robbery notes
During the Warring States period, people liked to use a writing material called "silk paper". This kind of silk is a white silk fabric. The Silk Book of Warring States discovered in Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha is the earliest silk book in the world. When our country excavated this Mawangdui Han tomb, it also wasted a lot of thoughts and invited many experts to help. This Silk Book of Warring States was unearthed in 1942 and smuggled to the United States by "Qiu Dekao" in 1945.
Silk book consists of three parts: astronomical phenomena, cataclysm, the operation of the four seasons and the taboo of the moon. The content is rich and colorful, recording in detail the legends of ghosts and gods in Chu, the five elements of Yin and Yang, and also including astronomy and geography. Chu silk book is 38.5 cm high from top to bottom and 46.2 cm wide from left to right. What deserves people's attention is that it also records 12 beast, and its image characteristics are very similar to those recorded in Erya.
Not only the cultural relics unearthed in Mawangdui can be found in ancient books or other documents, but also in Sanxingdui tombs in Sichuan, and the prototype can be found in Shan Hai Jing, a famous myth book in China.
Extended data:
When Mawangdui Han Tomb was first discovered, our country was not very strong in all aspects, and the popularization of science and technology and culture was still relatively lacking. So when the Han Tomb was first discovered, it attracted many grave robbers, who stole a lot when they saw so much treasure.
When the experts came to Mawangdui Han Tomb again the next day, they saw many pieces of paper appearing out of thin air around the tomb entrance. At first, everyone didn't care, until someone grabbed the paper and wanted to throw it away, and found that there were ancient characters on it, only to know that something was wrong and robbed the tomb.
Experts immediately tried to repair these "pieces of paper" in front of us, but at that time, our scientific and technological level was limited and there was no way to repair them. At this time, a person appeared, that is, "Qiu Dekao" mentioned above.
This man is also a cultural relic lover. At that time, after knowing the situation, he told our experts that he was willing to bring the pieces of cultural relics to the United States, repair them with advanced American technology, and leave 1 10,000 dollars as collateral, and then this cultural relic will never return.
