Chapter 187: Bo Yi Kao Live Sacrifice, Di Xin Sacrifice Heavenly Land! 【3rd change】Ask for your own reservation, ask for a monthly pass, ask for flowers!!

“Teacher Chen.”

Lu Yuan shouted, his voice changed a little, excited.

He stayed here for so many days, not because he was interested in these bronze vessels, but because he wanted to know what the place was used for.

Such a large scope of sacrifice is also a major event in the entire Shang Zhou, and I am afraid that it can coincide with some events recorded in the history books.

“What’s wrong?”

Lao Chen came over and asked.

Lu Yuan handed over the turtle shell and pointed to one of the words: “Look at this word.” ”

Lao Chen looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, “I haven’t cracked it for the time being.” ”

Lu Yuan said, “This word is likely to be Xia!” ”

“Natsu?”

Old Chen was stunned, and did not have any excitement.

After looking at him for a while, he shook his head and said, “Oracle is not a random guess. ”

Lu Yuan said, “I also have some research on oracle bones, and basically I recognize all the words you cracked.” Well, this word is indeed my guess, but it is not a blind guess, combined with the context and context, speculated. ”

“This character is 癸, this is 巳, this is Bu…”

Lu Yuan took out the few words that had been translated on this turtle shell one by one, and then said: “Translated, it is roughly [癸巳布, 殼贞: Can you fight?” Wang Zhanyu: XX Min X, Tang XX. X has no way, substitute for the sky X! If called, X dies]. ”

Combined with the before and after meanings, as well as the shape of these words, the complete meaning of this piece should be [桀exploded the people’s suffering, tang extinguishing summer. Shang Wudao, substitute for the heavens! If it is said, the merchant dies]”

Lao Chen was a little surprised, do you really understand?

He immediately said, “Take your time, translating Oracle is not something that can be completed in a short time.” ”

The implication is that he does not think that what Lu Yuan said is the true meaning of the oracle bone on it.

It’s not that I don’t believe Lu Yuan, but that text translation requires a rigorous set of research.

Lu Yuan nodded and said, “Then I’ll take a look again.” ”

He just offers an idea, although only he knows that his own thinking is right.

But let him write an article, why each word is the exquisite process of this word, he can’t write.

But there is a simpler way.

Look for relevant evidence from the text.

He posted all the photographed Oracle photos to his mobile phone, walked out of the tent, and squatted on the ground to look at them one by one.

There are oracle bones from the 02 dynasty above and oracle bones from the Shang dynasty below.

The oracle bone text of the Shang Dynasty basically means that today you will go to fight the Qiang people, tomorrow you will go to fight Dongyi, and before the war, divination, the results of divination are all lucky.

Or, after returning from victory, the prisoners of war were killed for sacrifice.

Judging from the words on the oracle bones, it was not sacrificed in a time, as far as Lu Yuan saw it, there were at least three times.

“Lao Lu, can you understand Oracle?”

“Don’t look at it alone, translate it for Pu Jushen.”

Lu Yuan said, “These are the oracle bones underneath, from the Shang Dynasty.” From the text point of view, it should be the Dixin period, which is probably talking about several conquests of Dongyi and the Qiang people. ”

He flipped slowly, and the old scholar smoking on the side squatted aside, looking at the photos on his mobile phone and listening to his translation, which was quite interesting.

He didn’t speak, just squatted on the side and listened to Lu Yuan’s translation.

After smoking a cigarette, continue smoking.

“This section is the return of victory, with 100 sacrifices of the Qiang people, and 30 livestock, which is quite large.”

This period is the day of Otsumi, and Di Xin ordered the sacrifice of his father Wenwu Emperor B, which coincided with the day of the Great B, which was the day of the Cheng Tang Festival, so Di Xin held the sacrifice for the next three consecutive days. Hiss~ has this place Di Xin been here? ”

Lu Yuan was a little surprised after speaking.

The old scholar on the side looked at him strangely, saying that he had a nose and eyes, just like the real thing.

At this time, a young man ran over: “Teacher Yang, a bronze artifact was dug up in pit 17. ”

The old scholar stood up and followed the young man over.

Lu Yuan didn’t go over, bronze utensils or something, a lot of them were unearthed, either with heads or beast bones, and they couldn’t eat too much at night.

He even dug a pit full of young children, which shows how terrifying the living sacrifices were at that time.

In less than ten minutes, the old scholar ran back and shouted into the tent: “Old Chen, you guys come out and take a look, dig up a pig zun.” ”

A moment later, a group of old scholars ran out.

“Hogzun? That’s right? ”

“Such a big guy, how could it be wrong.”

“Take a walk, go and see.”

The old scholars ran over and came to this sacrificial pit to look at the bronzes that had been dug up and put aside.

The bronze is 40 centimeters high and 80 centimeters long, and is in the shape of a pig, with a cloud thunder pattern and scales on the head, scales on the neck, abdomen, back and cover, and thunder patterns on the limbs and buttocks.

The overall appearance is full of artistic atmosphere, vivid and vivid, almost no different from real pigs.

The old scholars looked around and marveled.

Old Chen said, “This place was probably terrible. ”

“Those who sacrificed with pigs have found one place now, right?”

“Well, this is the second one.”

“Dig and dig again, there should be other sacrificial vessels.”

“At least one [Yin].”

“Did you see the sacrifice from the oracle?”

“This also has to be translated.”

Several people shook their heads.

Teacher Yang suddenly thought of the words he heard when squatting beside Lu Yuan, and he muttered a little in his heart.

Judging from the pig statue found, it is not simply large-scale, and the specifications are also very high.

After a group of people watched for a while, they went back to continue studying Oracle.

Lu Yuan was still watching, Teacher Yang walked to the side and squatted, listening to him continue to chant Lu Yuan glanced at him: “Teacher Yang, what are you doing?” ”

“Listen to your translation.”

“Hey, I’m just kidding.”

He wanted to say I knew, but no one believed him.

It’s okay to say it as a joke.

Teacher Yang said, “I just found a Feng Zun, I think your translation is quite accurate, this place may really be the place where Di Xin was sacrificed.” ”

Lu Yuan said, “Teacher Yang, have you seen so many oracle bones, have you found anything different?” ”

Teacher Yang is a straight person, and said directly: “If you find anything, just say, I am old and my memory is not good.” ”

Lu Yuan said, “There are many turtle shells here, and there are very few animal bones. ”

“Although it is said that divination can be performed using any bone, when performing divination related to national events, the wizards of Shang Zhou will definitely choose tortoise shell as a divination.”

“That’s right.”

“The basic ones found here are nails, and bones are rare. It is basically certain that the sacrifice here is related to national affairs, so I will say it bluntly, the sacrifice here is either wartime or heaven. ”

Teacher Yang asked, “Can you determine who it is?” ”

“Nope.”

Lu Yuan shook his head: “There is no very clear text, but I can see some from the oracle bone text of the Zhou Dynasty above.” ”

He told him the first piece of Oracle he had seen.

Teacher Yang’s reaction was similar to that of Lao Chen, at a level that could be referenced, but could not be trusted.

He just felt that the general direction of Lu Yuan’s analysis was correct, and these and the unearthed vessels could also be compared.

But there is information related to Xia on it, which is very cautious.

Teacher Yang sighed softly: “If only there really was a record of the Xia Dynasty.” ”

“Yes.”

Lu Yuan said, “Looking back, you should make great discoveries by studying carefully.” ”

Teacher Yang smiled bitterly, did not take it too seriously, but said with some dissatisfaction: “In fact, China’s historiography has determined the existence of the Xia Dynasty, and the Erlitou ruins and the records in the historical records can be corroborated.” However, the international historian community does not admit that the Erlitou site has not been approved for the World Heritage List so far. ”

“Why don’t you admit it?”

“Why else, they say that we have not unearthed any Xia Dynasty cultural relics and verifiable written records, and there is a lack of strong evidence to prove the existence of the Xia Dynasty.”

Teacher Yang’s tone was very angry: “In fact, this is not a question of whether to admit it or not, to be honest, we don’t need their recognition.” But there are some things that once you rise to international heights, you have to consider the impact. Does the World Heritage List have any practical significance? No. But people didn’t pass, we ourselves said to the outside world that this is the site of the Xia Dynasty, those little slurs jumped out and said that you are not, you have no cultural relics unearthed and no written records. Treadmill. ”

Teacher Yang burst into a foul sentence: “Yes, the Xia Dynasty has no unearthed cultural relics and written records to confirm it, this is no problem.” But you can’t use one set of standards for Dragon Kingdom archaeology and another set of standards for Western archaeology. If you don’t know you, Homer’s epic poems and the Bible can be used to extract historical materials, and the historical records of the Dragon Kingdom with names and surnames that can be verified must be questioned. ”

“You said that the Shiji Xia Benji does not match the results of the current archaeological excavations, it’s okay, even if you are right, after all, science should be rigorous. But should all your pre-Renaissance history be rewritten? How many historical records in Europe can roughly match archaeological findings? Just your mom playing double standard! Grass! ”

Lu Yuan:…

Teacher Yang’s violent temper.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Yuan: “Smoking no?” ”

“Don’t smoke.”

“Then I’ll smoke it myself.”

Teacher Yang said: “Oracle is such a thing, the first reaction you see is what it is, it is likely to be what it is.” You go on, I’ll listen again, I think what you guessed makes sense. ”

Lu Yuan smiled and continued to look through.

“Teacher Yang scolded well.”

“It’s not good to see the group of foreign historians earlier.”

“Actually, it makes sense.”

“It makes sense, but it’s too double-standard.”

“There are definitely no Xia Dynasty relics in this place, but you should be able to find it with the writing on the bones.”

Lu Yuan translated while watching, and then translated it into the vernacular and read it out.

“This piece records that Di Xin sacrificed to the heavens, and the divination asked if the son of Zhou Fangbo could be used as a sacrifice for Zhou Fangbo, and the king said that it could be…”

“Wait.”

Teacher Yang interrupted him: “Uncle Zhou? ”

“Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Do you know who Uncle Zhou is?”

These words made Lu Yuan stunned, he was dedicated to three purposes, he wanted to see, translate, and make it into a vernacular, who had the mind to care who Zhou Fangbo was.

When he asked, he immediately reacted: “King Wen of Zhou! ”

“Hmm.”

Teacher Yang nodded: “You continue.” ”

Lu Yuan looked at the turtle shell and continued to read: “The king said that the third son of Zhou Fangbo should be replaced by the eldest son, Tianyun.” ”

Lu Yuan stopped reading, looking at the turtle shell on the photo and stunned.

He knew that the history of Shang Zhou was actually not detailed at all, and most of it was mysterious.

There are countless legends of all kinds, but what was the situation at that time, it was still a mess.

It stands to reason that in such an era when there is very little information and many things cannot be verified, few people pay attention.

However, a book of “Romance of the Gods” brought this period of history to a terrifying height, and then various TV series and movies also constantly added a layer of mythology to it

There are many theories about Bo Yi Kao’s death, some say that he died in battle, some said that he was sacrificed by Di Xin, some said that he was killed by Da, and some said that he died in a political struggle within Xiqi, believing that he was killed while competing with his father and brother for power.

In short, there are all kinds of statements.

But judging from the words of this turtle shell, I am afraid that it was really sacrificed by Di Xin.

“I’ll go, there is King Wen of Zhou’s son buried here?”

“Is Bo Yi Kao really killed by King Shu?”

“This is the son of King Wen of Zhou, how dare he sacrifice alive?”

Lu Yuan said: “The living sacrifice of the Shang Dynasty is very heavy, and many important sacrifices will use tribal leaders, even some kings. The later dynasty also effectively imitated, for example, Qin Mugong wanted to take the Jin Hui Gong live sacrifice at that time, or Zhou Tianzi begged for intercession before letting Jin Hui Duke go. There was also the Duke of Song who made sacrifices to the monarch of the Ministry of Public Affairs. But these are really small compared to Shang Zhou’s time. ”

“If this is true, then what is recorded in the “Century of Kings” and “Tianwen” is true.”

“Call it really fake, it doesn’t affect me 2500 a month.”

“Lao Lu continues.”

“There is a nose and eyes, Lao Lu, can you really understand?”

“Even if it’s made up, it’s interesting to listen to.”

Lu Yuan continued to scroll down, and this look lasted for two hours before he finished reading the pile of Shang Chao oracle bones below.

This pile of oracle bones mainly records four things, of which three war sacrifices and one sacrifice to the heavens with Di Xin and Boyi Kao.

Not after that.

Lu Yuan said, “If the above record is true, then I am afraid that there is really Bo Yikao’s body buried here.” As the most important sacrifice of the Boycko, 610 should be very eye-catching. ”

At this time, another archaeology team member ran up: “Teacher Yang, a statue was found over there, what a big ding!” ”

Teacher Yang snorted and looked at Lu Yuan: “Go over and take a look?” ”

Lu Yuan stood up, and the two followed behind the archaeology team.

Coming to the earthen pit, a four-square big ding was printed in his eyes.

Shang Dynasty bronzes have reached their heyday, and later generations from the Zhou to the Qin Dynasty have continued on its basis, but the level of smelting has not been particularly significantly improved.

So at first glance, the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty are no worse than those of the Later Dynasty

Even from the above patterns and shapes, the shape is more dignified and majestic, and the decorations are more beautiful and deep.

This four-square ding, with an open and uncovered, is one meter wide and 80 centimeters high.

Above is the interaction of gluttony patterns and cloud and thunder patterns, the four corners are rhino heads, the dings are filled with dirt, and bones spill out.

Obviously, this is a ritual vessel used as a sacrifice, and the corpse inside is the object of living sacrifice.

I don’t know if I listened to what Lu Yuan just said, Teacher Yang’s first reaction was that it was Bo Yi Kao.

Lu Yuan also had this idea.

Bronzes of this size are basically mainly used for sacrifice, not as the main product of sacrifice.

“Could this be Bo Yi Kau?”

“Quite possibly.”

“This statue is really a cow, and the rhino head is made so similar.”

“Go and see the Four Sheep Fangzun, that one is even more awesome.”

“This is much more than the Four Sheep Fangzun.”

Teacher Yang looked around and said, “The Four Sheep Fang Venerable of the Ten Heirloom National Treasures is estimated to be giving way. ”

This one, whether it is in appearance or completeness, is not comparable to the Four Sheep Fang Venerable.

Most importantly, what is contained in it is most likely Bo Yi Kau.

Whether it is or not, they have to wait for them to decipher those oracle bones.

Once deciphered and confirmed, this four-square bronze, its status will go straight to the first, there is no one.

Even the alchemy statue unearthed from Zhao Gao’s tomb is also difficult to compare.

In the case that the Kyushu Ding has not yet been born, it is difficult to have a bronze object that can compare with this four-square ding.

Archaeologists carefully clean the soil inside.

Teacher Yang also personally went into battle, and Lu Yuan sat on the side, continuing to flip through the photos of the oracle bones.

Towards the end of the evening, the soil in the ding was cleared, and along with it, a turtle shell was cleaned up.

Teacher Yang looked at it for a long time, and his emotions suddenly became a little excited: “Xiao Lu, come and take a look.” ”

Lu Yuan jumped down, and Teacher Yang pointed to the words on it: “Do you recognize this word?” ”

“Ji.”

“Yes, it’s Ji!”

In the oracle bone text that was once unearthed, there is this word, which has also been deciphered and determined.

Found here, I’m afraid it was really said by Lu Yuan.

Bo Yi Kao, Ji Kao, son of Ji Chang.

Suddenly he reacted, if this is really Ji Kao, doesn’t it mean that Lu Yuan’s translation is correct?

Hold the grass, this kid really understands by mistake? And that summer word!

No matter how he guesses, being able to get it right means that the direction he guessed may be right.

“Let’s go, Xiao Lu, go, let’s go back first and have a good chat.”
