Ancient tomb archaeological relics
There were many types of cultural relics found in ancient tombs, covering many periods and regions. In China, for example, in 2022, a 2000-year-old star chart was discovered in a Han Dynasty brick room mural tomb in Qushuhao, Shaanxi Province. This map marked the ecliptic, and it was also the first time to discover a 28-star chart that specifically represented the four elements of star shape, star number, image, and title. According to the archaeological records of ancient tombs in Jinan, there are many types of tombs in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty and individual Eastern Han Dynasty tombs, such as coffin-coffin tombs.(Most of the tombs were made of brick, but there were also stone and tile coffins), brick-room tombs and earth pit tombs. Most of the pottery in the tombs were placed at the feet of the tomb owners, and some tombs unearthed iron weapons, copper hooks, bronze mirrors, copper coins and other personal items. The tombs of the Northern Qi and Sui Dynasties were mostly earth cave tombs, and the stone coffin tombs were single burial. The burial objects included double-series pottery jars, porcelain, ironware, daily ornaments, copper coins, etc. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, tombs were mostly gathered, including earth cave tombs and earth pit tombs. The burial objects were mostly porcelain jars, and some were copper coins or tomb tiles. Most of the tombs of the Qing Dynasty were gathered together. There were vertical pit tombs, some of which were built with bricks and stones. The funerary objects were mainly porcelain pots, tomb tiles, copper coins, and occasionally daily ornaments. In other countries, Egypt had two ancient tombs with a history of 3300 years. Egypt had also unearthed cultural relics that matched the impression of ancient Egypt, such as golden shoes. Ancient Egypt also had relics such as the Sabu Disc, but their uses were unknown. The stone sculptures unearthed in France looked like they had been carved with a digital engraving machine. They had been in the soil for more than 4,000 years, but they were undamaged and spotless. The clay tablets with the simplified Chinese characters "Jim is here" were unearthed in the ruins of ancient Rome about 1600 years ago in a British village.(It was later proven to be a joke), a piece of wood that was estimated to be 300,000 years old was found in a deposit in Germany, the Aztec turquoise mask was made around 1500 AD, and was excavated by the Europeans in the 17th century and decorated with gold-plated silver frames.

The archaeological relics found can be inferred
A lot of information could be inferred from the archaeological relics discovered. From the point of view of craftsmanship, the gold inlaid Boshan furnace reflected the mature technology of gold inlaid during the Warring States Period, which could embed gold threads into the surface of bronze ware to form gorgeous patterns and prevent the corrosion of bronze. In addition to the appearance of pottery, the pottery water pipes unearthed in Henan worked in a similar way to modern plastic water pipes. They also had three-way joints and elbows, which reflected the level of craftsmanship at that time. Some of the artifacts even made people wonder if there was a transmigration of modern craftsmanship to ancient times. In terms of culture and belief, the shape of the Jinbo Mountain Furnace was related to the belief of immortality. Its mountain view might imply the existence of immortality medicine, reflecting the ancient emperors 'yearning for immortality, and also proving that the pursuit of immortality had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people during the Warring States Period. This pursuit ran through ancient China history, such as the Qin Emperor sending Xu Fu to the east, the obsession with the alchemist of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the obsession with medicinal pills of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The silk book version of the Tao Te Ching unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb recorded the content related to immortal cultivation, reflecting the possible existence of immortal cultivation culture at that time. From the social aspect, the silk book version of the Tao Te Ching unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb had been tampered with, which could be inferred that the rulers might have carried out cultural intervention in order to control the people's thoughts. The number of cultural relics unearthed from the ancient tomb of Zhongshan State was astonishing. From its unique layout and the numerous bronze and jade wares unearthed, it could be inferred that the prosperity of Zhongshan State at that time and the social class division could be inferred. The higher class might have a large number of exquisite artifacts. In terms of external communication, clay tablets with simplified Chinese characters "Jim is here" were unearthed in ancient Roman ruins in England 1600 years ago (although it was thought to be the result of a joke). However, under normal circumstances, if it was a product of real communication, it could be speculated that there might be communication between China and the West in ancient times. From an aesthetic point of view, the Jinbo Mountain Furnace integrated the landscape theme into the design of artifacts, showing the long history of the landscape theme in China art. This artistic technique of condensing the grand world into a square inch was further developed in later literati paintings. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The Story of Silk Relics
Silk played an important role on the Silk Road, and there were many stories related to it. It was said that silk was brought to the West by Duke Mu of Zhou during the Western Zhou Dynasty. As the first China head of state to visit a western country, Duke Mu of Zhou led his entourage to the west with a large number of gold, silver, jade, silk, and artifacts. They arrived in Central Asia and even went to the Kingdom of the Mother of the West and gave silk as a national gift. Although this statement had the color of legends and myths, it also reflected the possible connection between the Yellow River basin and the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River in Central Asia during the Western Zhou Dynasty, and China silk might have been introduced into Central Asia. In the West, silk had been popular ever since it was introduced into ancient Rome. During the Augustus era of the Roman Empire, western classical literature began to have more detailed records of China silk. China silk was colorful and became the most popular luxury item in the upper class of Rome at that time. It was expensive. Rome paid up to 100,000 ounces of gold for imported silk every year. Even Caesar the Great wore silk clothes to attend the palace banquet and was opposed by the ministers, but the Roman people were still unwilling to take off their silk clothes. The large influx of silk also caused the Roman Empire's trade deficit to expand and gold to flow out. The Roman Empire even made a decree to prohibit people from wearing silk. In the course of history, silk had always been a symbol of China's prosperity and civilization. Through the trade and export of the Silk Road, Chinese civilization had flourished unprecedentedly. Moreover, for a long time, Westerners regarded silk as a " hard currency " like gold. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Silk cultural relics
There were many silk-related cultural relics, which were found in different sites and museum. For example, in the ruins of the Shang Dynasty in Taixi, Gaocheng, Hebei Province, a large number of silk fabrics were found on the surface of bronze ware, such as copper Ge, copper Jue, copper Gu, copper Wei, etc. After identification, the fibers were silk fibers, and five kinds of silk fabrics were identified, including plain "Wan", plain yarn, gauze, plain crepe silk as fabric. In 1968, in the tomb of Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan of Han Dynasty, which was excavated in Baoding City, fragments of silk fabric were found in the coffin, iron armor and jade clothes. Most of them were plain silk, and a few were high-grade fabrics such as patterned silk, colored brocade and embroidery. Among them, the fine silk found under the jade clothes might be "Bingwan", and the fragment of double-silk plain fabric was found in the left trouser tube of the jade clothes. Silk remnants about 5500 years ago were unearthed in the urn coffin burial of Qingtai site in Xingyang, Henan Province. Recently, the scientific research team identified the carbonized fabric extracted from the urn coffin of Wanggou site in Xingyang and confirmed that it was of the same kind and period as the fabric unearthed from Qingtai site. In 1958, silk threads, ribbons, and silk pieces from about 4300 years ago were discovered at the Qianshanyang site in Balidian Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. In 1926, half a cocoon from 5600 years ago was discovered at the Yangshao cultural site in Xiyin Village, Xia County, Shanxi Province. All of these showed the existence of silk-like cultural relics and the historical and cultural significance behind them from different angles. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Silk Road
Silkworms were closely related to the Silk Road. The Silk Road was mainly used for trade and cultural exchanges, and silk was an important trade commodity. The main source of silk was cocoons. China was the first country to start raising silkworms and reeling silk. The silk spat out by silkworms was made into exquisite silk after complicated processing. In the Silk Road trade, China silk was deeply loved by Central Asia, West Asia and European countries because of its excellent quality and exquisite craftsmanship. Merchants used camel teams and horse teams to transport Chinese silk to the West along the Silk Road. At the same time, they introduced Western treasures, spices, crops, and other products into China. This process also promoted cultural exchanges.
