Zhao Chengzhang laughed immediately when he heard what he said.
"Consultant Lin is really good at joking. He temporarily touched the blind spot of your knowledge. Have you come out of the blind spot now?"
Lin Yi also smiled and nodded.
After all this, how could he not guess what Zhao Chengzhang was thinking?
Whenever something happens, he is the happiest one.
He always wants to be in the limelight in front of everyone, but he doesn't have the ability.
Now I just want to borrow a line to describe my mood at this moment: Do you, Zhao Chengzhang, have the strength to fight with me, Lin Yida?
Lin Yi raised his flashlight and shined it on the first portrait brick.
"Actually, the content here is not difficult to understand. The core of the Han Dynasty's tomb culture is 'death is like life', that is, the things after death are taken care of like the things before one, and there is an explanation from beginning to end. .
Just like what this portrait brick represents, it is a funeral scene, with chariots and cavalry escorting the coffin of the tomb owner across the Wei River.
According to legend, Wei Shui is the boundary between yin and yang, and everyone except the female relatives of the deceased must stop here. "
Hearing what he said, Zhao Chengzhang couldn't help but interrupt.
"Wait a minute, Consultant Lin, how can you tell whether the carriage is a man or a woman based on the style of this portrait brick?"
"In the Han Dynasty, all vehicles with curtains were prepared for women, and this vehicle with a curtain drove at the rear. This is proof. What? Doesn't Researcher Zhao know these contents?
Go back and look through "A Brief Study of Han Tomb Portrait Bricks" published in 2006. This part should be in Chapter 6. The author is Liu Xunwen, a famous expert on Han Tomb Portrait Bricks in Qinzhou. Oh, by the way, this book The book was written by Professor Yu himself. "
"Yes, Comrade Xiaolin has actually read this book? This is a professional book on a very unpopular and very small branch of archeology."
Lin Yi chuckled.
"Do what you do, love what you do. I'm just a miscellaneous reader, and I know a little bit about tombs."
"You're so humble. Being able to clearly tell the source of the content is more than simply understanding it."
Professor Yu was full of praise for Lin Yi's performance.
Zhao Chengzhang was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred, but he had to bite the bullet and ask further.
"Then, may I ask Consultant Lin, what is the content behind this?"
"The latter part of the content rarely appears, and by the Eastern Han Dynasty, this part of the content was gradually simplified. In fact, this prominent palace is the cemetery, and the half-open door means that the owner of the tomb is here. It’s the final stop.”
"Why is a woman here greeting the tomb owner?"
Zhao Chengzhang asked.
"Because everyone is born from a mother!"
Wang Qiang interjected from the side.
Lin Yi gave him a thumbs up without saying anything.
"As expected of Mr. Wang, he immediately revealed the true meaning of this picture."
"Oh, did I really get it right? I was fucking blind!"
"This is talent, which others cannot envy. Since he is born to die, he must have an explanation. He must say goodbye to his family before he is alive, leave this world, and his mother will come and pick him up to go to another world."
"This is crossing the river again, and it was picked up by a woman. Could it be the Naihe Bridge and Meng Po Tang later?"
Wang Qiang seemed to suddenly have an enlightenment.
"Damn, that's amazing! That's really what happened. You solved two major mysteries in the archaeological world at once!"
As soon as Lin Yi extended his hand, Wang Qiang gave him a high-five in perfect agreement.
He even held up his live broadcast equipment to show off to netizens in the live broadcast room:
"Did you see it, brothers? I am in the wrong profession. If heaven had not given birth to me, Wang Qiang, archeology would have lasted as long as the night! I should have started this profession earlier, I would have coughed earlier, and I would have discovered a lot of good things earlier."
This made Zhao Chengzhang on the side so angry that smoke almost came out of his nostrils.
Isn't it enough to live in Lin Yi's shadow all the time? This adds another Wang Qiang who is like a "slut"?
Judging from the expressions of the experts, they seemed to agree with Wang Qiang's guess.
Until now, he has made no outstanding contributions to the industry except for publishing a few seminal papers to make his presence felt.
Well, Wang Qiang. With just a few jokes, it could become a major discovery in the history of archaeology. Is it possible that in the future, when writing papers citing this research result, Wang Qiang’s name must also be mentioned?
"Xiao Zhao, the opinions of Counselor Lin and Comrade Xiao Wang just now are very important. Please record them. Comrade Xiao Lin, please continue!"
Zhao Chengzhang was muttering, and the big guys were chatting, but he really couldn't get in the conversation, so he could only act as a note-taker with a look of resentment on his face.
"This gate is actually a symbol of the tomb. Once you enter this gate, you officially bid farewell to the past. Then comes the most important part - how to live when you are living towards death?
Cross the gate of heaven! "
Lin Yi turned the light towards the door lintel.
"This is Tianmen! The body is buried in the tomb, and the soul ascends. This has always been what the ancients pursued: after death, you go to another realm.
The two waiters are holding in their hands, one is called "Yujiang" and the other is called "Book of Tao". The one at the highest lintel, according to the original text of "Shan Hai Jing" records: Hoopoe has tiger teeth and leopard tail. I don't need to say more. Did you say that? "
"The hoopoe and leopard tail are the symbols of the Queen Mother of the West in various murals and myths. This is the Queen Mother of the West, the Lord of Kunlun."
Mr. Lu added.
"That's right, receiving Taoist scriptures and drinking jade juice are important processes that the ancients believed were necessary for the soul to ascend to heaven and meet the Queen Mother of the West. Researcher Zhao, please note it here. It is a test point and will be tested in the future!"
Lin Yi reminded Zhao Chengzhang loudly.
"I know!" Zhao Chengzhang replied reluctantly.
Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"Needless to say, the three-legged golden crow is the sun, and the three-legged silver toad is the moon. It's just that these two feathered snakes with round beads on their heads, and these fluttering dots, appear a little abrupt."
"Indeed, we were also attracted by the shapes of these two snakes just now, and there were some deviations in our understanding."
"Thanks to Comrade Xiaolin's lectures and Comrade Xiao Wang's finishing touch, all these contents were connected together and a major problem in our archaeological community was solved."
"Yes, judging from the cultural relics we have unearthed before, people at that time did have a kind of awe and hope for death in their hearts, and it also had a simple humanistic color. This provides a knowledge context and framework for our future archaeological research work. It is of great significance to China’s archaeological work!”
"The three experts are too polite. I only know a little bit about it." Lin Yi said modestly.
Now that the four of them have begun to integrate into the professional academic discussion atmosphere, he, Zhao Chengzhang, has become a complete outsider at this moment.
Zhao Chengzhang just wants to ask himself one question now: Why are you messing with Lin Yi when you have nothing to do?
"Old Lin, stop discussing it, look at this!"
Wang Qiang held the live broadcast equipment in front of him with a serious face.
"You said this tomb-suppressing beast just moved?"
Lin Yi asked in surprise.
"You kid are finally willing to take a look at the live broadcast room. It didn't just move, it has been moving all the time!"
"That's right. There are so many of you here staring at me, but there's no reaction at all?"
"Not long since you appeared here, those eyes have been searching all of you like searchlights, but none of you have noticed it."
"If I read it correctly, its horn seems to be spraying some smoke into the air."
