"During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties period, the burial system developed by the Northern Wei Dynasty was still in use in the Yellow River basin in the north. Large tombs basically adopted sloping tomb passages with long tunnels, and they also liked to open courtyards and set up niches."

“During the Sui Dynasty, people preferred to use earthen caves, but by the Tang Dynasty, the walls of the tomb chambers were laid with staggered joints, and there were murals on the walls of the tomb passage, tomb door, corridor, and the four walls of the tomb chamber.”

There are many Tang Dynasty tombs that have been discovered, and there is a lot of information to study. Therefore, Zhu Qinggu has released a lot of pictures and detailed information.

For example, the famous tomb of Li Hui is well preserved in terms of its structure and other aspects.

Upon seeing his grave dug up, Li Hui's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground. It took him a long time to regain his senses, and he stammered, "My grave!"

Countless people suddenly began to sympathize with Li Hui, as everything inside the tomb was revealed, and the tomb has now been completely cleaned up.

It might even be put in a museum so that countless people will come to see it.

Liu Ci was actually quite open-minded, but he still sighed slightly, feeling a sense of shared misfortune. He even had an idea: should he greet this Li Hui later?

Will Li Hui be so angry that he faints?

Li Hui has already given up.

Not only did Li Hui perish, but his descendants in other timelines also perish upon seeing their ancestor's grave being dug up.

In the past, the sky was always filled with poets and lyricists reciting poems, but this time... everyone was too quiet and too solemn.

Even if someone does say something, it will probably be mostly criticism. Even if they know that future generations are actually studying the affairs of their predecessors, they still can't get over that hurdle in their hearts.

It's not that there aren't magnanimous people.

"I wonder what classics future generations will lack," Li Bai pondered.

"Does Brother Taibai intend to have more classic texts buried with him, just like Bu Tianshou's teacher?" Gao Shi also laughed.

"Brother Taibai, do you also have this idea?" Du Fu actually agreed. "Seeing how much future generations value these cultural classics, I think they are very eager for them. I was just thinking of providing more books for them in the future."

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Li Bai said firmly.

They weren't afraid of future generations digging up their tombs; their main concern was seeing how future generations would treat these things. Perhaps Li Bai could even leave a poem inside to greet future generations.

Many ancient literati possessed a romantic spirit and were idealists; they basically did what they wanted to do based on their own conscience.

Many others shared the same idea. They thought that many classics would be lost in later generations, so they wanted to include more historical and philosophical texts in the book so that people in later generations could find them and read them!

……

“In tombs from the Sui and Tang dynasties, we often see funerary objects called ‘figurines.’ Funerary objects like dry pots and wells became less and less common, and were replaced by all kinds of figurines.”

"Due to social development, the social atmosphere has tended towards hedonism, so the funerary figurines mostly reflect these kinds of things. For example, there are figurines of musicians and dancers. In addition to these, there are also figurines of processions and funerary formations."

On the sky, the adorable terracotta figures still retain some of their original colors. The dancing figures are illuminated by the lights above the display case, and their movements seem to be captured for only a moment, giving the impression that they will continue dancing in the next second.

Even after a thousand years, its captivating beauty can still be seen.

It seems like all that's missing is music.

People before the Sui and Tang dynasties couldn't help but admire the pottery figurines. In fact, they also had pottery and figurines in their time, but the era was different. The glazes prepared after the Tang dynasty were very bright. When viewed closely under the light, they even had a slight shimmer, which was different from the glazes used in pottery from earlier eras.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Zhu Qinggu exclaimed in admiration. "If I have time later, I'll take everyone to the museum to see these artifacts. Consider it a virtual tour of the museum for you!"

[Great! I've never been to other cities. It would be amazing to see more of these things!]

[You could also take us out for a walk, or do a live stream outdoors, that would be great too.]

Outdoor live streaming?

Zhu Qinggu was also somewhat tempted. It would be best to go to some famous historical sites and tell historical stories related to them, which would combine with the scenery to create a magnificent and vast landscape that blends the ancient and the modern.

That's something for the future, probably around winter break?

Zhu Qinggu secretly included this matter in his plan.

"After the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the architectural style of the ground with Chinese characteristics had become mature, and all the brackets of the ground buildings were very exquisite, which also affected the construction of underground tombs."

"After the Song Dynasty, a large number of wooden structures appeared in brick chamber tombs. At this time, the burial objects also changed. The main change was that the burial objects were no longer so important. Instead, murals were used. The murals were rich and colorful, showing the social activities and mental state of people at that time."

"As for the Yuan Dynasty, the burial practices of the Yuan Dynasty were inherited from the Mongolian tradition, which advocated returning to nature. Unlike the elaborate burials and long mourning periods of the Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty practiced simple burials and mourning."

"Where Genghis Khan was buried in history is also a mystery. We will briefly mention it in the next live broadcast."

The ancient people under the sky were as if struck by lightning.

This episode only briefly mentioned it, yet it made them so nervous. What will happen next episode...? Will it go into detail about whose grave?

"My mausoleum..." Ying Zheng felt a headache coming on when he thought of the Terracotta Army.

"My mausoleum will be perfectly safe and sound," Liu Che said with great confidence.

"I found my childhood self in someone's grave." Cao Cao still felt offended when he thought about it.

Sun Quan was still puzzled as to why he felt a chill run down his spine.

"My steed!" Li Shimin was heartbroken.

"We still need to protect Ye Ye's tomb!" Li Zhi thought to himself.

"Surely nothing bad has happened to the Song Dynasty's imperial tombs?" Zhao Kuangyin was also worried, after all, the Zhao family had produced several incompetent rulers, it was as if their ancestral graves were emitting black smoke!

What deity did the Zhao family offend to produce such inhuman beings?

"Those Qing Dynasty Tartars, to prove their legitimacy, probably wouldn't do anything to our imperial tombs," Zhu Yuanzhang said, though he was still somewhat worried. After all, the later Republic of China and other regimes had all blasted the Tartar graves; wouldn't they...?

The Qing emperor felt a chill, because he knew the tomb had been blown up.

But there are things worse than being bombed, like being submerged in water, ignored by everyone, and likely to remain submerged indefinitely.

Or perhaps those remains are intertwined, sweet and tender...
