Chapter 12: Vignette
Today I will briefly talk to you about learning the identification of soil in archaeological identification, and the important distinction between raw and cooked soil!
What is the birth land? Simply put, the so-called birth land is the natural world. After several tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the natural native soil formed is the birth land. Some people also call this dead land and pure land.
The characteristics of raw soil are uniform colors, fine structure, compact texture and pure.
The so-called cooked soil is the soil that has been turned after human production and life, also called live soil and flower soil. It has uneven colors, uneven structures, loose textures, and mixed textures...
[She is here that is raw and cooked, and you can dig something when you dig something. Why are you talking so much nonsense?]
[I am here to dig treasures, not to learn things. Isn’t it enough to dig it out quickly?]
[I am happy to listen. If you don’t like it, leave. If you have the ability, start a live broadcast by yourself. Just dig a hole and don’t mess around. There are definitely many people watching your live broadcast!]
[Stop quarrel, I mean to ask the anchor not to talk nonsense, just dig it out!]
[The anchor won't explain it to you clearly, haha, after digging, will you all come out to ask "100,000 Why?"]
.....
Some viewers are having headaches when listening to such anchors with a lot of professional terms, and they feel that it is better to have fun with them.
Other viewers felt that digging and explaining these corresponding knowledge while digging on the live broadcast sounded very exciting, and they learned some knowledge that is difficult to understand in normal times.
Suddenly, the smell of gunpowder in the live broadcast room was particularly strong.
There were not many viewers at first, Li Ming took a look at the live broadcast room that was quarreled as Muggles, smiled contemptuously, and thought to himself: "I really think I'm happy to talk nonsense to you, if the system hadn't assigned me that popular task."
He was too lazy to pay attention to the stinky barrage of scolding himself.
Anyway, in the eyes of these people who don’t like themselves, no matter how they do it, they must follow their ideas, and what they like is the truth.
There is no shortage of such people everywhere. He discovered them when he watched the live broadcast before, so he just ignored them!
Since some people in the live broadcast room like to listen, Li Ming was so happy to continue to tell them.
He smiled at the camera, as if he was completely unaffected by the barrage that attacked him, pointed to the ground beneath his feet and said:
"I was originally a treasure hunt, but there were many viewers who were interested in tomb robbing in the live broadcast room. To be honest, it is a bit similar to when I use metal detectors to find treasures now. However, due to the surprise of Eastern and Western cultures, the two are completely different.
"The most obvious point is that the ancient Chinese Feng Shui theory used by tomb robbers requires solid theoretical and practical knowledge and precise positioning."
"With metal detectors looking for treasures, we also need treasure hunters to find historical and cultural knowledge of the treasure background, and sometimes we also need certain meteorological and geographical knowledge, but most of them have a bit of a feeling of casting a net in the sky and looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Let's take the Chinese tomb language as an example. Generally speaking, most of the land in northern China is composed of raw land."
But we ancient people dug out tomb pits or tomb passages and tombs on the raw soil according to different eras and customs.
Then, after the coffin is buried, the soil is backfilled and compacted.
In this way, the soil in the tomb pit, tomb passage and tomb becomes cooked soil because it has been turned over by humans and has changed its original structure and texture.
Exploring the different characteristics of the soil is discovered, which leaves evidence to discover them. Once the "Luoyang shovel" is removed from the cooked soil, then passes through the edge of the clamp and position it, then the tomb will be locked.
One thing to be explained clearly is that when archaeology learns about drilling with "Luoyang shovel", they drill five holes per square meter, commonly known as "Plum Blossom Hole", which is one to two meters shallow, and tens of meters deep.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most of the land was cyan paste mud; in the Tang and Song dynasties, the tombs were mostly "glutinous rice mud"; in the Ming and Qing dynasties, lime was mostly used; in the Qin and Han Dynasties, people believed in the anticorrosion effects of mercury, cinnabar and jade, they were used in tombs. These will affect the soil quality and emit a special smell, and experienced people will know it at once.
In our country, the industry even made a joke, as long as you bring a Luoyang shovel and a brush, you will be an archaeologist.
This is of course a joke, which shows that the equipment of archaeologists is still very poor, and more importantly, it depends on personal experience.
Many viewers in the live broadcast room have watched various movies and TV series about tomb robbers and gold-touching lieutenants over the years, and they all divide the gold into a cave, watch the mountains and rivers with amazing skills, and they are all awesome. The protagonists in the movie are like cheating.
At this time, they heard Li Ming's explanation of this knowledge and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
[The leader of the food industry gives the anchor a card to apply for! Come on, the explanation is good, I rarely hear these things on weekdays]
[Yibo Yun Tianwang Dazhang gave the anchor 999 fish balls! Not bad, I finally know why the lieutenant is so dicky]
When he saw someone giving him a gift, it doesn’t matter how much money it costs. This friendship of supporting him moved Li Ming very much. He thanked him one by one and said with a smile;
"In fact, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in China, "Wang Shixing" from Haining, Zhejiang, worked as an official in Henan and other places. This gave him the opportunity to travel around the country. He was knowledgeable along the way and appreciated the customs and customs of various places and country slang. Later, he wrote a book called "Guangzhiyi" to record the geographical customs of various provinces."
Volume 3 of this book says: "Luoyang is deep and the soil is deep. Those who are buried at four or five feet but not as long as the spring. There are ten feet long for the pulleys. However, even if the burial is like this, the thieves can still smell it with an iron cone. There are gold, silver, copper, and iron. The kings, princes, generals and ministers of Zhou, Qin, and Han were buried in Beimeng. However, those who were buried at the ancient tombs and tombs and tunnels reached Changliu, and the Ming utensils mostly use gold, silver, copper, and iron. The antiques in the three Wus are all from Luoyang."
Some unearthed cultural relics are mentioned here in the book. It seems that there was a tomb robbery in Luoyang in the Ming Dynasty.
The "iron cone" recorded can be buried deep into the soil and tombs. This is a shovel used in Luoyang hundreds of years ago specifically for exploring underground ancient tombs, which is the predecessor of the Luoyang shovel.
In addition, the placement of items in tombs of any dynasty in China has its own rules.
Those tomb robbers with extremely experienced experiences can often use their experience to determine the approximate situation in the tomb chamber under their feet before they are excavated.
How awesome are you?
It was so thin that the coffin should be, where the pottery was among the burial items, where the metal utensils were, what would be in the ear chambers on both sides, etc. I could figure it out after thinking about it.
When they really started digging, they went straight to the hole and dug it (Han tombs are usually collapsed and filled with soil, saying that they are tomb chambers... in fact, they are all earth, they are moving in the soil, and everything is in the soil).
There is a saying in the tomb robbery industry that Guankou said: "Left shoulder and right foot" means?
In fact, this is the most expensive burial object that will be placed in the coffin of the tomb owner, and his left shoulder and right foot.
In other words, before the tomb is dug, you will have the concept of the entire tomb chamber in your mind. When it is really dug, you will go directly to the place where you want to find something.
[Why is the live broadcast room so quiet at this time? There should be a barrage here. Let me say something for you first! Damn!]
【Damn! Learned! Learned! The Luoyang shovel, the combat artifact of Sajia, is ready!】
[Damn it! This is xx police station, the handsome pot in front of it. Forgive the buff titanium alloy head-down bracelet and think carefully!!]
【Damn...I'll continue to listen to the anchor chatting!】
Li Ming in the live broadcast camera was a little dry. He went to popularize such a long section of hard-core knowledge. Unexpectedly, the water friends liked it quite well. Since everyone liked it, he took a sip of water and continued to preach:
"There are also some tombs, such as the Ming and Qing tombs, whose tombs will be very thick. Think about it, seven vertical and seven horizontal, and fourteen layers of blue bricks are more than two meters thick, so how solid will it be? Then you have to avoid the tomb roof when digging. Otherwise, if you hit the tomb roof, you may not be able to finish your work in one night. Do you dare to come the next day?
......
Everyone was immersed in Li Ming's humorous explanation. Whether it was about archaeology or identification of soil, these industry information were too unfamiliar to the lives of ordinary people.
When I heard the anchor in the camera tell the story, many viewers felt a sudden realization.
"It turns out that the most common and common soil under your feet actually has such knowledge and skills!"
The naughty barrage in the live broadcast room always appears at the right time!
[Northwest King Fatty reminds the anchor that the anchor will leak industry secrets again, Fatty, I am an engineer and serve!]
[The King of Northeast is here to pass by. I wonder how much fat man of Northwest King!]
[A Ning came to report to the Grave Robbers' Chronicles. The anchor said it well and rewarded him with a corpse!]
[I am the leader of the Xiling River. You have chatted about all the secrets of the industry. I will probably not see the Sun anchor tomorrow!]
...........
The funny barrage of viewers and fans in the anchor room made Li Ming feel happy and said carelessly.
Chapter completed!
