Chapter 320 When did you become shorter?
Li Ranran watched the edited video for a while, and as she watched, she inadvertently started to post screen-licking comments.
After reading the comments with satisfaction, I swiped directly to the next video. I thought the next one would be an edited video, but it turned out to be a marketing video.
[Turpan Museum Tang Dynasty Male Mummy]
[A mummy of a male soldier from the Tang Dynasty exhibited in the Turpan Museum in Xinjiang, dating back more than 1000 years, was unearthed from the Astana ancient tombs. Looking closely, it is obvious that his hair, nails and even blood vessels are well preserved.
Due to the lack of information about the tomb group's owner, we can only speculate from the mummified body of the male soldier that his deltoid muscles are well-developed, and it can be seen that he is trained to use heavy weapons frequently. His chest and arm muscles are also well-developed, and his sweat hair can be clearly seen.
In the Turpan region, where the climate is dry, many ancient mummies have been unearthed. The principle is that the moisture in the body is quickly dehydrated, and the decaying bacteria cannot survive, thus forming the mummies. According to the Turpan Museum, this Tang Dynasty soldier was in a better state when he was unearthed decades ago, with a slightly bulging and elastic belly and more obvious arm muscles.
Judging from the wounds on his body: there are dents on his face, a round wound on his forehead, and scars on his neck, it is speculated that he died of injuries during the war and was hastily buried. This is most likely a border guard of the Four Towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, a soldier who died on the battlefield.
Watching through the screen, I can already feel my thoughts being pulled back to the distant Tang Dynasty. The mummy in front of us is a person who once existed in the Tang Dynasty.
It always feels incredible that I have traveled through thousands of years to meet people from the Tang Dynasty. Although more than 1000 years have passed, I can still feel the distant Tang Dynasty across the screen and across time and space, the Tang Dynasty that makes the rest of us have endless reverie.
"Han's banners fill the Yin Mountains, and they won't send a single Hu child back. I wish I could serve my country for the rest of my life, why would I need to enter Yumen Pass alive?"
This is the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. 】
＜Our ancestors have preserved it well, may they bless us! ＞
＜“I have worn my golden armor through a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I will not return until I have conquered Loulan.”＞
＜I went to the Turpan Museum to see that even after becoming a mummy, his height and muscle atrophy were not significant. You can feel the amount of muscle mass in his body [thumbs-up]＞
＜Yes, it is true. What impressed me most when I went to see him was that he was really not short. I was surprised. I remember that people in ancient times were not very tall.＞
＜Alas, these are all stereotypes of the late Qing Dynasty [sigh] During the late Qing Dynasty, there were severe famines and wars, and the people were not well fed, so… anyway, they all grew shorter. . . ＞
＜Have you not heard this sentence? Kangxi Kangxi, eating bran will cause diarrhea [dog head]＞
＜Besides, what nutrition could the Qing Dynasty eat? You should eat more whole grains＞
＜You are all focusing on his height, but I am focusing on his hair. I have to say, even though our ancestors have passed away for thousands of years, their hair volume is still better than ours. [envy]＞
＜I thought of the line “There is a lone loyal person in the northwest, surrounded by enemies like an iron screen. A lonely city thousands of miles away, full of white-haired soldiers.” This is the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. ＞
＜I felt a sense of tranquility and heaviness for no apparent reason, and was filled with awe. The Tang Dynasty’s Anxi Army were true heroes who defended the country and the border! May our ancestors bless us, and protect China!!!＞
＜The ancients did not have the habit of shaving their hair. They all grew their hair long, so they must have more hair than we do. Judging from the soldier's appearance and the amount of hair, I always feel that he is no more than 30 years old. He is quite young.＞
＜… Xinjiang does this? [Question]＞
＜Yes, so now you know how bad Xinjiang is?＞
＜Xinjiang is really harsh. I started to bleed from the nose as soon as I got off the car there [covering my face]＞
＜[Covering face] A dried corpse is better looking than a wet corpse. If you want to know more about a wet corpse, you can go and watch Lady Xin Zhui ＞
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: This is a soldier from my Tang Dynasty!!!]
[Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: What a good man!!!]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: What a mysterious feeling, I actually saw the mummies of hundreds of years later... No, it should be seeing people more than a thousand years later looking at the mummies of people from the Tang Dynasty. What I saw was the corpses of people from the Tang Dynasty who were hundreds of years away from us and more than a thousand years later... So confusing]
[Huo Qubing, the sixth year of Han Yuanshou: Your Majesty, please don't go around anymore [covering face] ]
[Zhang Qian, 16th year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty: Amazing, really amazing. It is well preserved.]
[Li Jing in the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan: Too thin and weak to fight... maybe he can't even hold a weapon steadily... Generally, they choose tall and strong people to join the army]
[In the 25th year of Kaiyuan Period of Tang Dynasty, Li Bai: [Thinking] I don’t know what it was like in other dynasties, but the people I see around me are not short]
[Du Fu, 25th year of Kaiyuan Period in Tang Dynasty: After observing the peasants, I found that there is no famine at present and the people are living well. Except for some people from poor families who look thin, the rest of the people seem to be doing well.]
[Huo Qubing in the sixth year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty: It's about the same here. The requirements for military service are still strict. We are not randomly conscripting men in troubled times...]
[Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang: ...Well, actually, the early Han Dynasty was not bad...]
[Han Xin, 8th year of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty: Humph, the world was in chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty. It would be great to have strong men as soldiers, but in order to have more heads than the enemy, there will also be other not-so-good soldiers among them. As long as we can win! ]
[Meng Tian in the Thirty Years of the Qin Shi Huangdi: Qin Ruishi, a powerful warrior who unified the six kingdoms, none of them were weak!]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Uh, the words of the early Song Dynasty. After all, we have not yet come out of the chaotic times... At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the country was in chaos, the feudal lords were divided, and the people were living in poverty everywhere. They were hungry and even had the bad influence of cannibalism. Alas! ]
[Song Shenzong Zhao Xu: Well, the people’s lives have improved, but… their mindset has not changed, and not many people have volunteered to join the army]
[Kublai Khan: The soldiers of the Song Dynasty are weaklings. When they see my Mongolian soldiers, they just run away. They run all the way across mountains and seas.]
[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Xuanye: The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were family soldiers who only cared about money. The military households had long been corrupt]
[Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: ...Whose dynasty is not corrupt in the last years? The guy who eats bran and has diarrhea!]
[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: So, malnutrition in the late Qing Dynasty caused the height of my Chinese descendants to change?]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: It should be like this]
......
Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Yuanshou
"Zhang Qian, Xinjiang... No, we mean, is it true that the Western Regions did that? The corpse... could be preserved like that..."
Zhang Qian: "Are you okay...?"
Why did you do that when you went there?
After Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che finished his sigh, which symbolized the corpses on the battlefield, he suddenly thought that future generations like archaeology and like to open coffins...
Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable, and then he remembered that the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty had been destroyed as early as the end of its history.
Liu Che sighed. Forget it. Who can predict what will happen a hundred years later? Besides, whose tomb can be preserved intact?
?! Hmm... there really is one, from Qin Shi Huang.
"Eh, are we going to imitate him? Forget it, forget it. With all this money and manpower, we might as well expand our territory..."
...
Seeing the mummy in public on the light screen video is a bit disrespectful to people whose way of thinking has not yet changed.
Some people think that later generations are too disrespectful to their ancestors. Since ancient times, people have emphasized being buried in peace. Why don’t later generations understand this?
Some people even wanted to join the army more because of this corpse...
However, for most of the Han Dynasty soldiers, their thoughts were somewhere in between. They felt proud and puzzled. The pride was that the soldiers who guarded the border for the country could win the respect of so many people, which was very enviable. There was nothing unpleasant in the comments on the light screen, all of which were praising the soldier. Countless compliments and poems made this group of current Han Dynasty soldiers feel proud.
The dilemma is that traditional beliefs emphasize that the dead should be buried in the ground. Who would want to disturb a corpse? Except for tomb robbers...
So, they really don’t understand…
