In the early morning, a middle-aged farmer hums a song and walks on a ridge.

He passed by his own field, and with only one glance, he was so shocked that his body was crooked, his feet were mixed, and he fell to the ground.

“Which one lacks virtue to dig my family’s field!”

He was lying on the ground, and saw that someone had dug a big hole in his field!

This is also too lacking in virtue, and crops are planted in the field!

The farmer cursed, looked around, and stomped his foot in anger.

Not only this field, but also the surrounding fields were destroyed, and crops were crushed by the mounds of earth dug up.

The farmer walked through the surrounding fields and soon found sloping earthen holes in several places.

Compared to the largest pits, those earthen holes are only about four or five meters deep, and seem to be just tentative excavations from all angles.

“Huh? This wouldn’t be a tomb robbery, would it?

Haven’t you ever eaten pork and haven’t seen a pig run? This farmer instantly thought that these were robbery holes, and his first reaction was to quickly get into the hole and grope.

Tossed gray face, but nothing fished.

He did not die, changed another hole, still no, then he went to the largest pit, jumped down to look for it, and still found nothing.

“This land has been farmland for generations, how can there be a tomb?” The farmer laughed at himself, climbed up with difficulty, and hurried to report to the village chief.

Soon the people of the village gathered and talked about who had recently seen the foreigners.

The village chief jumped into the pit, but it was obvious that the surrounding soil was not the right color, it seemed to be burned and forged kiln soil.

He asked people to take a shovel, and after a few more gouges, he found a corner of jade exposed in a dry black mud.

“There’s something!” Someone saw it in the eyes above and immediately shouted.

Everyone immediately gathered around the entrance of the cave to see, and saw that the village chief had peeled off the piece of dirt, it was Yugui with a large palm.

Of course, they didn’t know that it was Yugui, only that it was a piece of jade with a sharp upper part and a straight lower end, with angular raindrop patterns on it.

“Is it an antique?” Someone above asked The

village chief continued digging downward, only to use his hands instead, and soon a large number of pottery, stone, jade, and bronze objects emerged from the earth.

When he saw that there were so many, he quickly stopped and asked someone to pull himself up.

“Why don’t you dig it?” Dig again! Someone booed.

“No one is allowed to go down!” The village chief shouted: “Lao Li, this is your family’s field, you call the Cultural Relics Bureau.”

He was not worried about a few little clever ghosts in the village, so he could only personally guard the scene.

The farmer listened, threw the hoe, and ran to the house.

Everyone looked at him happily, and some people were envious, because if the underground was really full of antiques, the right to use this large piece of land would inevitably be taken back by the government, and Lao Li would receive a lot of compensation.

“Didn’t that professor come and survey twenty years ago? Why didn’t I find it! It also let the tomb robbers discover it first.

“My family’s field is not far from here, will there be one?”

When some people saw that the village chief was guarding here, they could not change their minds, so they immediately dispersed and went to dig in their fields to try their luck.

Pick a plot of land, pull out the crops that have already been planted, pick up the shovel and start digging. As a result, when the people of the

Cultural Relics Bureau arrived, more than 20 deep pits where cultural relics were found were carved out by the villagers in a radius of several miles.

The staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau immediately realized that this was not a cemetery, but a large site, and immediately notified more people to come and urgently stopped the villagers from digging again.

Things were tossed until the afternoon of the same day, when a large number of staff took control of the scene and learned about the situation.

“What? How many holes did you find here before?

Undoubtedly, it was not the farmer who first discovered the site, but someone else,

In the middle of the night, several robbery holes were dug overnight, and they left at dawn. In this way, the matter is clear, and it is likely that the tomb robbers have learned about the distribution of cultural relics underground.

So they immediately hired local villagers to help guard the site, because the scope was too large, so it was impossible to rely on a small number of staff.

“Preliminary judgment, it is the ruins of the city.” A professor wearing glasses went deep under the pit, surveyed it and said.

“What? Have a city? I see, Lao Fang, the grave robbers discovered this place earlier than us, because it was in someone else’s field, so they dug at night. After digging something, it was quickly discovered that it was not a tomb, so it was withdrawn. Another expert above said.

Professor Fang climbed out and said: “Tomb robbers want to dig a city, they can only try their best not to go empty, and a lot of precious cultural relics were found on the spot, and it is conceivable that they must have taken a lot of them.” However, several of the robbery holes did not dig into the site layer at all, probably because time did not allow further excavation.

“It can be speculated that the gang of tomb thieves have rich experience in surveying, and this place was surveyed by Professor Wu twenty years ago, and at that time, he simply tried it with a Luoyang shovel and left.” Another expert said.

Professor Fang smiled and said, “What conditions were twenty years ago?” Luoyang shovel is not omnipotent. But this group of tomb thieves is really powerful, and the soil moisture content under this farmland is so large, and there are ruins that can be detected?

Everyone laughed that this was a typical case of grave robbers stimulating archaeology, which was common decades ago.

The discovery of the archaeological site is basically only three roads, and the state has approved an archaeological project, which is found by professionals on their own initiative. Farmers dig

wells, or engineering teams inadvertently dig them.

Finally, there are the grave thieves, using their exquisite skills, to dig it first.

As they were talking, on the other side, a young doctor roared and ran over, holding a rusted square ding in his hand.

Professor Fang took a look and was stunned: “Old Chen, isn’t this a site from the early Neolithic period?”

Professor Chen frowned, and also came up to see, he just came, he went to the local villagers to learn about the situation, heard that there were a large number of stone tools and jade, so he first judged that it was a Neolithic site, in fact, he had not had time to carefully study the cultural relics found. At this moment, I knew that something was

wrong, although the bronze in front of me was rusted into a lump, but there was no patina in some positions, revealing delicate lines, and it could be seen from the tip of this iceberg that it should have been very exquisite.

In other words, this is a pre-merchant site with both copper and stone, and it is also from the Xia Dynasty at the latest.

“Professor, all the cultural relics dug up by the local villagers have been recycled, and there are a large number of jade and bronze objects.” The young doctor said.

The two hurriedly followed over to look and saw hundreds of jade juan, jade walls, jade shovels, copper dings, copper pipes, copper ge, copper bells, copper hanging ornaments…

Among them, the jade is extremely exquisite, and the artistic style is very different from the Longshan culture and Erlitou culture of this generation, and the ornamentation is very different.

“Hurry up and get the emergency approval, we must do salvage excavation as soon as possible.” Professor Chen quickly called the director and said.

Chief Leng said, “Old Chen, what are you in a hurry?”

Professor Chen said, “The bronze has been found, can I not be in a hurry?” Judging from the degree of rust, the site should have been soaked in water for a long time, plus there are tomb robbers targeting, I don’t think there is a need to wait.

“I know, the approval will come down soon.” As soon as the director heard this, he knew that the site must be excavated as soon as possible.

That night, in order to prevent tomb robbers from digging holes nearby, the staff all stayed at the scene to guard, and local villagers were also hired to patrol.

After the night passed, there was no incident, and early the next morning, the Provincial Institute of Archaeology arrived to conduct a preliminary exploration of the entire site.

Three days later, the land use rights have been handed over, the approval documents have been handed down, and the site has been cleaned up.

Professional archaeological teams in the province began the first phase of rescue excavations.

After working for four consecutive days, the pit expanded and expanded, more and more cultural relics, and a large number of jade, pottery, and bronze were excavated every day.

Among them, the number of pottery is the largest, in a short period of time, it is as high as 200,000 pieces!

Bronze is second, there are more than 16,000 pieces, and most of them are weapons.

Sadly, the vast majority of bronzes are badly damaged, not by man-made, but by water erosion!

And geologically, the site was covered with mud and sand wrapped in floodwater.

Thankfully, the complex is preserved exactly because it is covered instantly!

The whole city is pressed under the mud and sand, and as long as it is carefully excavated, the appearance of the entire city can be restored.

However, as the excavation progressed, everyone was confused again.

Because the site has excavated pieces of copper casting and pottery workshop ruins, 200,000 square meters have been found!

The scale is rare in the world!

At one point, archaeologists wondered, is this the site of an ancient city? If it’s a city, why are they all smelting and production buildings?

“This is most likely a city specializing in forging and production, and it must not be the capital of some culture.”

“Is this the industrial center of the Xia Dynasty?”

“It may also be a military center, which cannot be broken for the time being, from a cultural point of view, it does not belong to Erlitou or Longshan culture, which may be a vassal culture of the Central Plains…”

“Vassal? You have no basis for this, this is Xinzheng, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, judging from jade, it is very similar to the Longshan culture, it must be a transitional culture between Yuxia.

“Where is there a transitional culture between Yu and Xia? Judging by such a strong bronze productivity, this should be the culture of the same period as the Xia Dynasty.

Archaeologists argued until someone excavated a bronze sacred tree from the site…

“Huh? No way? It actually belongs to the same type as Sanxingdui culture?

“This is a major discovery! Sanxingdui is not an independent and isolated culture, it has branches!

“The Central Plains and Shudi are far apart, but there is extremely close communication. The people of this city are very likely to be in both the culture of the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin, which is why this is the case.

“So… Could it be Tyranny?

Those present were all bigwigs, and they quickly thought of Zhuanxiao, because it is recorded that the ancestors of Zhuanyi were sealed to the land of Shu, and after several generations, Zhuanyi became the lord of the Central Plains. Therefore, in the period of the

pre-commerce between the Central Plains and Shudi, the era of UU reading books www.uukanshu.com the closest exchanges was most likely the era of Zhuanxi.

“This is Diqiu, the capital city of Zhuanxi? If true, then the advent of bronze technology advanced at least five hundred years.

“It cannot be the capital, although the excavation has not yet been completed, but such a large-scale workshop site group must have corresponding divisions for workers to live in, so it occupies at least 300,000 to 400,000 square meters, which is obviously not a political center.” The national capital of this culture can only be said to have not yet been discovered, we have only discovered this smelting city.

“In addition to the undiscovered capital, the culture also has large, centralized, specialized smelting… In the Zhuandu era, it turned out to be more advanced than Yaodu’s technology? Is the Yao Shun period a technological regression?

Archaeologists were shocked, and the Tao Temple site they guessed was Yaodu, and there were also bronzes, but in terms of productivity, it was far worse than this city.

If it is really the era of Typhoon, it means that after the death of Typhoon, there has been a cultural interruption and a regression in technology.

During the reign of Tang Yu, he lost the advanced bronze technology of the Dynasty period.

“Wait a minute, I know what this might be… Zhu Rong Ruin! Right! Ancient history records that the market of Zhurong was in Xinzheng. “Yes, yes, Zhurong’s Market,

since it is called Ruin, it means that it has long been abandoned, and from the scene, it was caused by a flood, and the entire city was covered under mud and sand, so it was renamed Zhurong’s Market from Zhurong Country.”

“Gonggong is in charge of water conservancy projects, and Zhurong is in charge of ‘fire’ projects, that is, smelting and manufacturing!”

“Not only that, Zhurong is also a military chief, so Zhurong Guo is the Ministry of Defense in ancient times!”

“This place is responsible for the production of a large number of ordnance, and it is also the industrial center of the Central Plains.”
