From the Island Owner to the King

Such a picture appeared in Chen Rui's mind.

One day thousands of years ago, a heavy rain caused a landslide and carried a large amount of sediment to cover the Xiacheng built under the mountain.

At the moment when the mudslide covered the ancient city, countless victims were covered by the sudden mudslide, the mud mixed with water wrapped their bodies, solidified their final posture, and recorded all the details of the Xiacheng people before they died. down.

Many people died and their bodies were buried.

Some Xiacheng people escaped the disaster, left here, and moved to another place to live.

As they left in tears, they drew a map on tanned parchment.

The map marks the Xiacheng where our ancestors lived for generations and the location of Xiayang Lake where the Xiacheng people living in Xiacheng lived. I hope that one day we can return to the place where our ancestors lived for generations.

Chen Rui could guess later.

The descendants of Xiacheng people never came back here.

Settled down in a remote mountain forest in Jiang and West, and prospered.

The sheepskin map has been preserved.

It was not until the Potian Detachment invaded Jiang and Xi that it obtained this sheepskin map from the descendants of Xiacheng people, and sent Kazuo Hirata to find Xiacheng and Xiayang Lake on the sheepskin map.

As a result, Hirata Kazuo and a dozen Japanese and Japanese soldiers died in the Radiation Valley.

Finally, Chen Rui got the sheepskin map from Hirata Kazuo's body.

Found Xiacheng and Xiayang Lake on the sheepskin map.

At the foot are the ruins of Xiacheng.

Chen Rui searched the ruins of Xiacheng.

Searched for two days.

Harvest is limited.

There are only a few pieces of jade, pottery, bronze, etc. from the Xia Dynasty.

However, Chen Rui knew that the ruins of Xiacheng were not the only things.

Most things were submerged under the ruins of Xiacheng by mudslides.

Some things were washed out of the ruins of Xiacheng by mudslides.

Chen Rui intends to drill into the ground to search.

Chen Rui stood still and performed the earth escape technique. The person turned into a khaki phantom and sank to the ground.

Chen Rui walks freely underground.

Chen Rui could feel the existence of the soil, and felt the slight pressure of the soil on the body, just like being in the water and feeling the pressure of the water.

In Chen Rui's eyes, the soil and sand in his sight were illusory.

The artifacts buried in the soil are very conspicuous after the mud and sand are illusory.

Chen Rui was in the ground at a depth of 5 meters from the ground and walked towards the first object found. He walked freely, and the soil and sand did not hinder Chen Rui's figure.

Chen Rui took the first pottery harvested from the ground in his hand and watched it carefully.

This gray pottery of the Xia Dynasty, the gui used as a food vessel, is folded along the flat bottom and has a unique shape.

Chen Rui took Tao Gui into the Pregnant Haizhu space.

After a few minutes.

Chen Rui harvested the second artifact.

This is a jade tomahawk with a very unique shape, which is somewhat similar to the jade tomahawk of the Longshan culture.

Rectangular, with ridged teeth on both sides, and the blade is slightly curved.

"This is a grid copper tripod, with a closed mouth, folded edges, looped ears, hollow quadrangular pyramid-shaped feet, and a belt-like network pattern around the belly. The cast is very delicate."

"This is a jue, a bronze wine set, with a long flowing pointed tail, a waist, a flat bottom, and three-edged feet. It is unique."

......

After harvesting the underground artifacts.

Chen Rui entered the real Xiacheng underground ruins.

Chen Rui discovered a large tripod, which is a large square tripod, rectangular, four-legged, with thick and erect ears, folded along the wide edge, straight walls, deep belly, flat bottom, rectangular belly, and four hollow columns and feet below. The thunder pattern is the ground, the Jin part is decorated with ribbon-shaped taotie pattern, the upper part of the foot is decorated with embossed taotie pattern, and the lower part is decorated with two convex string patterns.

The shape is heavy and elegant, the momentum is magnificent, the decoration is beautiful, and the casting technology is superb.

Chen Rui took out a tape measure and measured it against Da Ding.

The tripod is 105.2 cm high, 112.5 cm long and 75.4 cm wide.

Chen Rui lifted the cauldron and weighed it.

The weight should be at least 700kg.

This tripod is very big.

Casting this tripod weighing more than 700 kilograms requires at least 1,000 kilograms of raw materials, and it can be completed with the close cooperation of about two or three hundred craftsmen.

This is enough to reflect the grand scale of the bronze casting industry of the Xia Dynasty.

Chen Rui found an inscription on the inner wall of the vessel, with 450+ characters in 21 lines.

Chen Rui incorporated Dafangding into the Pregnant Haizhu space.

In order to find out the origin of Ding, Chen Rui also entered the pregnant sea pearl space.

First, Chen Rui washed the soil off the tripod with water to restore the tripod to a clean and new look.

The inscription on the inner wall of the vessel was then photographed with a digital camera.

Display on the computer, zoom in.

Combining oracle bone inscriptions, Zhou Zhuan, and pictographs are released verbatim.

Chen Rui is not an expert in ancient writing, and his time is limited. With 458 words, Chen Ruishi can read 100+ words.

Although the entire inscription cannot be explained, the general meaning of the inscription is understood.

In the Xia Dynasty, there was a monarch named Chu.

Chu, the son of Shaokang, is a very effective monarch.

After he succeeded to the throne, he understood Dongyi's dissatisfaction with the Xia family. In order to consolidate his power in the east, he moved the capital from the original east to Laoqiu. He attached great importance to the development of weapons and the manufacture of armour. He also sent people to crusade against the Dongyi in the southeastern coastal area, and it is said that he obtained the mascot of the nine-tailed fox.

The territory of the Xia Dynasty expanded to the coast of the East China Sea under the rule of Chu.

The reign of Chu was the most prosperous period of the Xia Dynasty. The people of Xia had great respect for Chu, and held a "reporting sacrifice" for Chu, thinking that Chu had fully inherited Yu's career.

This inscription was cast by Chu's son, Xia Houhuai, to extol the exploits of his father Chu.

The content of the entire inscription begins with Qi's succession, describing Qi's move to the capital, developing weapons and manufacturing armour, crusades against Dongyi, and the Dongyi tribe to Qi

Tribute, congratulations, etc.

Chen Rui named the tripod Xiahou Ding.

According to the Book of the Year of Bamboo, many monarchs of the Xia Dynasty addressed the front with the word 'hou', such as 'houqi', 'houxiang', 'houshaokang' and so on.

The word 'hou' in the Xia Dynasty is synonymous with 'jun' and 'king'.

'Xiahou' means 'Xiawang'.

Because this four-legged square tripod was cast to commemorate Xia Houhuai's reign and praised his father.

Therefore, the four-legged square tripod was named by Chen Rui as 'Xiahou Dingding'.

No other evidence is needed, just this 'Xiahou Dingding' proves the existence of the Xia Dynasty.

And Chinese history formed a civilization in the Xia Dynasty.

As we all know, several main characteristics of civilization: writing, bronze smelting, city-state, religious etiquette, these conditions can be called civilization.

Needless to say, there are 458 inscriptions on the inner wall of the 'Xiahou Ding', which shows that there were characters in the Xia Dynasty. The text of the Xia Dynasty is very mature, very standardized, and very complete.

In bronze smelting, the Xia Dynasty was able to cast a 700-kilogram cauldron, which shows that the Xia Dynasty mastered very high bronze smelting technology and bronze casting technology, and developed bronze technology to the pinnacle.
