Chapter 285 Chinese Tomb

His meaning is relatively simple.

That is, the tomb here is not necessarily the tomb of a Chinese king as Su Ran said.

In fact, Su Ran couldn't understand this either.

How should I put it? Logically speaking, this place is a foreign country. If in ancient times, a king, a general, or a minister fled here to settle down and live a happy life, and then his descendants buried him here, this possibility is not impossible.

However, similar situations rarely occurred to famous people recorded in history books.

Especially for the ancients, what did they believe in?

We all know that the older generation, no matter where they are, ultimately hopes that after death their souls will return to their hometowns and be buried in peace.

Many people think that this is a kind of homesickness.

Netizen: What else?

"The Chinese family culture is very important. I think it is a product of feudal society."

Seeing the comments, Su Ran shook his head and smiled: "Actually, this is not the case. This is actually a kind of ancestor worship."

The audience didn't understand.

"What?"

Su Ran happily explained: "In fact, in ancient times, this kind of ancestor worship and sacrifice was very popular among the people."

"After tasting the benefits, future generations paid more and more attention to this matter, and its influence grew. The feudal emperors were afraid that it would threaten their imperial power, so they did not allow the people to hold large-scale sacrifices, saying it was feudal superstition."

“Only those who understand know that worshipping and offering sacrifices to ancestors is actually the result of communication between the Yin and Yang worlds in ancient times, and has been passed down to this day.”

This is why the Chinese people pay special attention to repairing ancestral halls and establishing family tree.

Many people don’t know that after an ancestor dies, his soul will be attached to a place of worship. If not, he can only float around outside.

So the sky is dark now because of this reason.

As to whether this is true or not, in today's age where science is paramount, there is definitely no basis for it.

But in the past, people believed this.

Especially in ancient times, any well-known officials would return to their hometowns after retirement.

This is what everyone has been talking about: fallen leaves return to their roots.

From the time a tree sprouts to the time it grows branches and vines, no matter how tall the tree grows, when its leaves turn yellow, it will fall down and return to the soil where it was born.

The ancients were the same. When they were young, they went out to explore the world and pursue their careers as officials.

But when he gets old, he should return to his hometown where he was born.

Another reason is that in ancient times, the society was based on "ancestor worship" and "family rule", and the concepts of family and clan were very strong.

When a person is born, he will be included in the family tree. After his death, his grave should be included in the family's ancestral graveyard, and his spirit tablet will be placed in the family's ancestral hall.

When an official is in poor health and needs to "retire", he is actually facing the issue of death.

Most of these people would make the same choice, not to mention the princes and nobles who specialize in building tombs.

It is simply not possible to build a tomb abroad.

However, this situation does exist.

Therefore, Su Ran could only hope that the latter possibility was the case.

The scientific expedition team thought about it for a long time and decided not to survey the tomb.

"Whether there is a tomb here or not, it seems inappropriate for us to intervene directly. I think we should wait until your Chinese scientific expedition team arrives."

Hearing the other party say this, Su Ran understood his difficulties, but the problem was that he had not been able to contact any domestic experts yet, so where could he find anyone in such a short period of time?

Soon, Zhao Mengde sent him a private message in the background. "Host, wait, I've already gotten off the plane, and I'll be here with someone to find you soon."

Su Ran looked at his homepage and found that he was a very professional archaeologist in the country, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

It is true that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

Su Ran felt inexplicably happy that a domestic archaeological team could arrive at the critical moment.

Su Ran told the audience the good news, and everyone waited expectantly.

Four hours later, according to the address given by Su Ran, Zhao Mengde and his team rushed over.

"Hello, anchor Xiao Su, I have been following you for a long time."

Zhao Mengde was not just being polite. He had been following Su Ran for a long time and never expected that this young anchor was so talented.

Especially when I met her in person, she looked much younger than I thought.

There were not many polite words exchanged, as Su Ran and Zhao Mengde were thinking the same thing.

That is to get right to the point.

This is also the purpose of Zhao Mengde's trip.

"Brothers, let's get to work."

We have professional equipment and professional personnel.

Zhao Mengde and his team soon began archaeological work.

The Xiong Country archaeological team was also watching from the side and did not leave.

The biggest reason why they chose not to leave was that they wanted to see whose tomb this was.

If it is really a tomb from the Tsarist period, they can take it over directly.

If not, going back directly won't have much impact.

This can be said to be laziness taken to the extreme.

However, Su Ran had already determined the origin of the tomb in his heart.

So I don’t mind them waiting here. It’s not my time that is wasted anyway.

At this time, the excavation work was already halfway completed, and everyone finally discovered that this place was indeed full of ancient Chinese burial patterns.

Curiosity drove the staff to continue digging deeper, and as the excavation went deeper, an incredible scene gradually unfolded before them.

A mysterious and luxurious palace, as if awakened from deep underground, stands there quietly.

Its architectural style is very different from traditional Chinese architecture, revealing a simple and elegant atmosphere.

The eaves of the palace are raised high, the glazed tiles sparkle in the sun, and the exquisite carvings and murals show unparalleled artistic charm.

The appearance of this palace has attracted widespread attention and speculation.

Those present were amazed at the grandeur and exquisiteness of the palace, and also developed a keen interest in the historical and cultural background behind it.

After careful observation and research, archaeologists discovered that this palace was actually a building with a very Han Dynasty style.

Every corner of the palace reveals a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere. Whether it is the exquisite carvings or the gorgeous murals, they are all in line with the ancient Chinese artistic style.

This made them think that the owner of this palace might have a close connection with distant China.

Zhao Mengde was pleasantly surprised. He looked at Su Ran excitedly and said, "It seems that you are right. This is definitely an ancient Chinese tomb."

"We still don't know who the tomb owner is. But no matter who it is, this will be a major discovery!" (End of this chapter)
