immortal

The third uncle said and got up and went into the back hall. After a while, he came out with a few hardcover photo albums and handed them to us.After opening, there are photos of various bronze ware decorations.

"Second's research is just speculation, but I also helped him notice that the symbol of the North Star did appear repeatedly on a large number of bronze wares before Qin." He shook the piece of paper in his hand. The yellowed archaeological briefing, with three photos on it, looks like a tortoise shell at first glance.

"I also stayed in the archaeological team for several years," said the third uncle. "In 85, an object was discovered in Lingjiatan, Hanshan County, Anhui Province. It was determined to be from the Neolithic Age 3200 years ago, but it was not until 89 It was published in the newspaper, and most of the information was hidden, such as what was written in the briefing at the time, there are actually three unearthed pieces, the turtle’s back and belly of the jade carving are separated, and a jade tablet is hidden inside.”

He handed over the paper, the picture was black and white, but the pattern on the jade plate was clearly distinguishable, in the center was an octagonal star pattern surrounded by arrows pointing in eight directions.On the outermost circle, there are four arrows pointing to four directions.

After receiving it, the younger brother frowned and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly asked hesitantly, "Luo Shu?"

The third uncle asked him with surprise, can you remember?

The little brother pointed to the eight-pointed star, and it is certain that this is the North Star.

The third uncle smiled and said, there is still no conclusion in the archaeological circle about this, and most people tend to think that it refers to the sun.But did the ancient ancestors worship the sun?Anyway, I don't think so.

The little brother nodded and said, worshiping the stars, not the sun.

"But," I looked at the two of them suspiciously, "at that time...we said..."

The third uncle said, "There was a gap in the Qin Dynasty. In terms of bronze wares, the decorations after the Qin Dynasty decreased significantly. I guess it should be related to the first emperor's proclaiming the emperor. The emperor was always the name of the god before the Qin Dynasty. The worship has changed, replaced by himself." He looked at me and laughed again, "At that time, the common people became the emperor, and the Emperor Wu set up his own rules to depose the Confucianism, but this Confucianism is not inherited. From Confucius, but from Xunzi’s imperial art, which was modified by Dong Zhongshu, the monarch’s power is bestowed by the gods, and heaven and man are one, and the worship of the sun only started from this time.”

He sighed, and returned to the topic, "If this map is the real Luoshu, then aside from the things that have been drilled and attached by the past dynasties, Luoshu should be a map from the beginning. Pointing in all directions, representing It is divided into two parts, and the unmoving Polaris in the middle is the center of the sky, at the center of the stars in the sky."

I am quite clear about what the third uncle said. Tai Shigong also mentioned the Tianji star in Zhonggong back then, which is Taiyi, the god of the North Pole - Ziwei star, for which the stars are arched north.The construction of Chang'an City was also based on the number of crape myrtles. The imperial palace was the crape myrtle palace, and the imperial city was the crape myrtle garden, and the Forbidden City got its name from this.But what does the North Star engraved on the fish represent?

The blind man who had been sitting there without speaking suddenly asked, "Where did you get that copper fish?"

The third uncle took a sip of tea, and then said: "Ten years ago, I went down a bucket in Guangxi. After I went down, I found out that it was a large group of tombs. There were roughly eleven tombs. The specifications were quite high. I saw the whole tomb at that time. It was jade and pottery, so I knew in my heart that it was in vain, and led the people back out, and the robbery hole was sealed again."

The blind man laughed.

The third uncle cleared his throat unnaturally, and said: "The archaeological value of this Neolithic thing is far greater than its commercial value. We also have professional ethics in tomb robbers." He glanced at me and said, "This The sentence was probably said by you, I forgot the original sentence, but that’s what it means.”

I looked at him blankly.The corner of the little brother's mouth also twitched, a half-smile.

"The copper fish was placed on the central platform at that time, so I can't understand now why there are things from 5000 years later in a 2000-year-old tomb."

"So you brought it out?" I asked.

The third uncle said: "It's a headache to keep it, why don't you let the second one go back and study it, your second uncle..." He pointed at me, "It's just a bad temper, let me say, those things he researched with a dull head , if it is really published, it will probably cause an earthquake in the archaeological world.”

But what happened later made me understand that it was not an earthquake, but a subversion.
