In the morning, a middle-aged farmer snort/hum the song is walking in the field ridge. 清晨,一名中年农夫哼着歌在田垄上走着。 He passed by his field, only shot a look at one, is startled the body one crookedly, the foot mixed, falls down. 他路过自家的田,只瞥了一眼,就惊得身体一歪,脚拌了一下,摔倒在地。 Which digging my family field lacking virtue!” “哪个缺德的挖我家田!” He lies on the ground, saw only in the paddies to be dug a big hole! 他趴在地上,只见自家田地里被人挖了个大坑! This was also too lacking virtue, in planted the crops! 这也太缺德了,地里种了庄稼的! The farmers were foul-mouthed, looked around, air/Qi stamps the feet. 农夫骂骂咧咧,东张西望,气得跺脚。 Not is only this field, the surrounding field also destroyed, heap that the crops were dug crushing. 不仅是这一块田,周围的田也都毁了,庄稼被挖出来的土堆给压坏。 The farmers strolled the surrounding field, soon found the slanting soil cave in several places. 农夫把周围的田逛了个遍,很快在好几个地方都找到斜斜的土洞。 Compares the biggest gulf, these soil caves only have about 45 meters depth, as if from the exploratory excavation of each angle. 相比起最大的深坑,那些土洞都只有四五米左右的深度,似乎只是从各个角度的试探性挖掘。 „? Isn't this will rob a grave?” “啊?这不会是盗墓吧?” Hasn't eaten the pork not to see the pig to run? This farmer thinks instantaneously these are the entry holes made by a robber, his first response, gets in the hole to try to find out hastily. 没吃过猪肉还没见过猪跑吗?这农夫瞬间就想到这些是盗洞,他第一反应,就是连忙钻进洞中摸索。 Tossed about dirty, is anything has not actually been fishing. 折腾的灰头土脸,却是什么也没捞着。 He does not lose heart, traded a hole, is no, then he goes to the biggest gulf, jumps to look, has achieved nothing as before. 他不死心,又换了个洞,还是没有,接着他又去最大的深坑,跳下去找了找,依旧一无所获。 This piece for generations was the farmland, how to have the grave?” The farmers self-ridicule smile, used energy Para to crawl, hurried to report to give Village Head. “这片世世代代都是农田,怎么会有墓呢?”农夫自嘲一笑,又费劲巴拉地爬了上去,赶紧去汇报给村长 The people in quick village gathered, discusses spiritedly, the discussion who saw the outsider recently. 很快村里的人都聚了过来,议论纷纷,谈论最近谁见到外乡人了。 Village Head jumps in the pit, actually obviously looks, surrounding ashen is not right, seems like the fever has hammered the kiln earth. 村长跳进坑中,却明显看出来,周围的土色不对,似乎是烧锻过的窑土。 He makes one bring the shovel, dug several, unexpectedly in the dry black mud, discovered together jade that reveals an corner/horn. 他让人拿来铲子,又刨了几下,竟然在一块干涸的黑泥中,发现了露出一角的玉。 Has the thing!” Some people were sharp-eyed to see above, immediately sends one to shout. “有东西诶!”有人在上面眼尖看到了,立刻发了一声喊。 The people assemble to look in cave entrance immediately, sees Village Head to bare that soil, is a side palm of the hand big jade jade tablet. 众人立刻围聚在洞口看,就见村长把那块泥土剥开,正是一方巴掌大的玉圭。 Naturally, they do not know that this is jade jade tablet, only knows that is a above sharp lower end straight piece of jade carving, above also has the edges and corners distinct raindrop mark. 当然,他们并不知道这是玉圭,只知道是上部尖锐下端平直的一片玉器,上面还有棱角分明的雨滴纹。 Is the antique not?” The above some people asked “是古董不?”上面有人问道 Village Head continues to dig downward digs, but changed to the hand, the quick large number of pottery, stone implement, jade carving and copperware reveal to be sharp from earth. 村长向下继续挖刨,只是改用了手,很快大量的陶器、石器、玉器、铜器从土里露出尖来。 He looks really has so many, stops hastily, asking people to pull oneself to come up. 他一看竟然有这么多,连忙停下,叫人拉自己上去。 How to dig? Digs again has a look!” Some people create a disturbance to say. “怎么不挖了啊?再挖看看啊!”有人起哄道。 No one permits!” Village Head shouted: old Li, this is your family's field, you telephone to the Cultural Heritage Bureau.” “谁都不准下去!”村长喝道:“老李,这是你家的田,你打电话给文物局吧。” He did not feel relieved that several young clever and resourceful people in village, then can only guard the scene personally. 他不放心村里的几个小机灵鬼,便只能亲自看守现场。 The farmers listened, throws the hoe, takes to one's heels to run toward the family/home. 农夫听了,把锄头一扔,撒丫子就往家里跑。 The people visit him to be overjoyed, some people envied, if is really underground is the antique, the right of use of this big places, the government must receive, but old Li will obtain not the poor compensation. 众人看着他欢天喜地的,有些人都羡慕了,因为如果真是地下全是古董,这一大片地的使用权,政府必然是要收回去的,而老李则会获得不菲的补偿。 20 years ago what professor doesn't have that to survey? How not to discover! Also made the grave robber first discover.” “二十年前不是有那个什么教授过来勘测过吗?怎么没发现哦!还让盗墓贼先发现了。” My family's field leaves this is not far, can have?” “我家的田离这不远,会不会也有啊?” Some human eyes look at Village Head to defend in this, they are impossible to have the crooked thoughts, then disperses immediately, goes to the field to dig, tries one's luck. 有人眼看村长守在这,他们也不可能动歪心思,便当即散开,去自家田里挖一挖,碰碰运气。 Chooses the block place, has pulled out good crops, brandishes the shovel to start to dig. 选块地,把已经种好的庄稼拔出来,抡起铁锹就开始挖。 When the result and other Cultural Heritage Bureau of the people rush, surrounding area several li (0.5 km), were dug more than 20 to have by the villagers gulf that discovers the cultural relic. 结果等文物局的人赶到时,方圆好几里地,共被村民刨出二十多处有发现文物的深坑。 The staff of Cultural Heritage Bureau realize immediately, this is not the tomb, but is big ruins, immediately informs more people to come, and stopped the villagers to make them urgently do not dig again. 文物局的工作人员立刻意识到,这绝不是什么墓地,而是一大片遗址,马上通知更多的人过来,并且紧急叫停村民们让他们不要再挖了。 Matter has tossed about in the afternoon, after lots of staff controlled the scene, knew the situation. 事情一直折腾到当天下午,大量的工作人员控制了现场后,才了解了情况。 What? You discovered before , did here have several holes?” “什么?你发现之前这里就有好几个洞了?” Without a doubt, earliest discovery ruins is not a farmer, but has someone else, in the night, dug several entry holes made by a robber at the same night, dawn walks. 毫无疑问,最早发现遗址的不是农夫,而是另有其人,在深夜里,连夜挖了数个盗洞,天亮才走的。 As the matter stands, matter on the big strip, the grave robber had possibly known the underground cultural relic distribution. 这样一来,事情就大条了,盗墓贼很可能已经了解了地下的文物分布情况。 Therefore they hired the local villagers immediately , helping protect the scene, because the range is too big, therefore only depends on few staff unable to watch. 于是他们马上雇佣了当地村民,帮忙守护现场,因为范围太大,所以只靠少量的工作人员是看不住的。 Judged initially, is the city ruins.” Under professor thorough pit that wears the eyeglasses, after prospecting one, said. “初步判断,是城市遗址。”一名戴眼镜的教授深入坑下,勘察一番后说道。 What? Has the city? I understood, old side, the grave robber is earlier than us discovers this place, because in others paddies, therefore unearths in the evening. After the result digs to the thing, the quick discovery, this is not a tomb, therefore withdrew.” The above another expert said. “什么?有城?我懂了,老方,盗墓贼比我们早发现此地,因为是在别人田地里,所以晚上挖掘。结果挖到东西后,很快发现,这不是墓穴,于是撤走了。”上面的另一名专家说道。 Professor side crawls saying: Grave robber wants to dig a city definitely is incorrect, they also can only very not walk as far as possible spatially, discovery many cultural treasures, were conceivable they certainly also to carry off much. However several entry holes made by a robber, simply have not dug to the ruins level, was the time does not allow to continue to unearth probably.” 方教授爬出来说道:“盗墓贼想挖一座城肯定是不行的,他们也只能尽可能地贼不走空,现场发现很多珍贵文物,可以想象他们一定也带走了不少。不过其中好几个盗洞,根本没有挖到遗址层,大概是时间不允许继续挖掘了吧。” Can speculate that group of grave robbers have the rich survey experience, this place 20 years ago, Professor Wu has the belt/bring person to survey, at that time tried to walk with the Luoyang shovel simply.” Another expert said. “可以推测,那伙盗墓贼有丰富的勘测经验,这地方二十年前,吴教授有带人勘测过,当时就只是简单用洛阳铲尝试了一下就走了。”另一名专家说道。 Professor side said with a smile: 20 years ago what condition? The Luoyang shovel is not multipurpose. However this group of grave robbers are indeed fierce, under this farmland the soil texture moisture content is so big, can find out the ruins unexpectedly?” 方教授笑道:“二十年前什么条件?洛阳铲又不是万能的。不过这伙盗墓贼的确厉害,这农田下面土质水份含量这么大,竟然都能探出有遗址?” The people all smile, this is a typical grave robber stimulates the archaeology the situation, this/should situation dozens years ago is very common. 众人皆笑,这是个典型的盗墓贼刺激考古的情况,该情况几十年前很常见。 The discovery of archaeology site, basically only then three roads, the country makes written comments some archaeology project, was found by the specialists on own initiative. 考古现场的发现,基本只有三条路,国家批示某项考古工程,由专业人员主动找到。 The farmers drill well, or the engineer brigade construction digs. 农民打井,或工程队施工无意间挖到。 Finally is a grave robber, with their exquisite technologies, first digs. 最后则是盗墓贼,用他们精湛的技术,先挖一遍。 They are saying, another side, the young doctors run flustered, in its, holds to rust away a lump of Fang Ding together. 他们正说着,另一边,有一名年轻的博士急吼吼地跑来,其手上,捧着一块锈蚀成一坨的方鼎。 Professor side received looked, immediately stares: Old Chen, wasn't this Neolithic early ruins?” 方教授接过一看,顿时一愣:“老陈,这不是新石器时代早期的遗址?” Professor Chen knits the brows, collects to look, he just came, goes to local villagers there understanding, heard that has large number of stone implements and jade carvings, then first a judgment for the ruins of Neolithic Age, in fact absolutely did not have carefully to study the cultural relic of discovery with enough time. 陈教授皱了皱眉,也凑上去看,他刚来,就去当地村民那里了解情况,听说有大量石器和玉器,便先一步判断为新石器时代的遗址,实际上根本还没来得及仔细研究过发现的文物。 This moment one looked, does not know right, although the present bronzeware rusted away one lump, but some positions did not have the verdigris, revealed that the fine trace, can see from this tip of the iceberg, it should be very fine. 此刻一看,就知道不对劲,眼前的青铜器虽然锈蚀成了一坨,但部分位置没有铜绿,显露出精致的纹路,从这冰山一角也能看出,它原本应该是非常精美的。 In other words, this is first business the ruins that the copper stone and uses, most late was also Xia Dynasty. 也就是说,这是个铜石并用的先商遗址,最晚也是夏代的。 Professor, the cultural relic that the local villagers dig had recycled completely, there are large number of jade carvings and bronzewares.” The young doctor said. “教授,当地村民挖到的文物已经全部回收了,有大量的玉器和青铜器。”年轻的博士说道。 Two people looked with the past hastily, see the ground scattered over a hundred jade pendant, the jade walls and jade shovel, the bronze tripod, the copper caldron, the copper dagger-axe, bronze bell and copper hanging...... 两人连忙跟过去看,见到地上零零散散上百件玉璜、玉壁、玉铲,铜鼎、铜鬲、铜戈、铜铃、铜挂饰…… And the jade carving is quite fine, the artistic style is critically different from this generation of Longshan culture and Erlitou culture, the decorative design in a utensil is different. 其中玉器极为精美,艺术风格与这一代的龙山文化、二里头文化都大为不同,纹饰迥异。 Hurries to attain the urgent written instructions, we must make the rescue excavation as soon as possible.” Professor Chen calls the chief hastily said. “赶紧拿到紧急批文,我们必须尽快地做出抢救性挖掘。”陈教授连忙打电话给局长说道。 The chief said: Old Chen, what are you anxious?” 局长楞道:“老陈,你急什么?” Professor Chen said: Has discovered the bronzeware, can I not be anxious? From the corrosion degree, the ruins should soak the water for a long time, in addition has the grave robber to stare, I thought that does not need of waiting.” 陈教授说道:“已发现青铜器,我能不急吗?从锈蚀程度来看,遗址应该长期泡了水,再加上有盗墓贼盯上,我觉得没有等待的必要。” I knew, written instructions quickly.” As soon as the chief listens, knows that this ruins must unearth as soon as possible. “我知道了,批文很快就会下来。”局长一听,就知道这遗址必须尽快挖掘。 In the evening, to guard against the grave robber digs a hole from the , the staff kept the guard completely, and also hired the local villagers to go on patrol. 当晚,为了防范盗墓贼从附近挖洞,工作人员全部留在了现场看守,并且还雇佣了当地村民巡逻。 A night passes by, lives in peace with each other, next morning, the province archaeology research institute will then catch up, conducts the preliminary exploration to the entire scene. 一夜过去,相安无事,第二天一早,省考古研究院便赶来了,对整个现场进行初步的勘探。 Three days later, the land employment right has turned over, the written instructions have gotten down, the scene also has cleaned up cleanly. 三天之后,土地使用权已经移交,批文已经下来,现场也已经清理干净。 In the province the specialized archeological team started the first phase of rescue excavation. 省里专业的考古队开始了第一期抢救性挖掘。 Worked continuously for four days, the pit got bigger and bigger, the cultural relic were getting more and more, every day had large number of jade carvings, pottery and bronzeware to be unearthed. 连续工作了四天,坑越扩越大,文物越来越多,每天都有大量的玉器、陶器、青铜器被挖掘出来。 And pottery is largest, in the short time, reaches as high as 200,000 unexpectedly! 其中陶器的数量最多,短短时间里,竟然高达二十万件! Bronzeware next, fully more than 16,000, and majority is a weapon. 青铜器其次,足有一万六千多件,并且大部分是兵器。 What hurtful headache is, most bronzewares damage seriously, was not destroyed artificially, but is the water erosion! 令人痛心疾首的是,绝大多数青铜器都损坏严重,不是被人为破坏,而是水蚀! And from the geology, the ruins is bound the silt to cover by the flood loudly. 并且从地质上来看,遗址乃是被洪水裹着泥沙轰然覆盖。 However what made one rejoice, because was covered instantaneously, therefore the architectural complex was instead well-preserved! 不过令人庆幸的是,也正是因为被瞬间覆盖,所以建筑群反而保存完好! Entire city by overall pressure under silt, so long as unearths carefully, can return to original state entire city. 整个城市被整体压在了泥沙下,只要精心挖掘,可以还原整个城市的面貌。 However with the excavation progress, the people was also puzzled. 不过随着挖掘进度,众人又困惑了。 Because the scene unearths the workshop ruins group of the large expanse of cast copper and system ceramic, discovered has 200,000 square meters!. 因为现场挖掘出成片成片的铸铜、制陶的作坊遗址群,已发现的就有二十万平方米!。 Big of scale, world rare! 规模之大,世所罕见! Once made the archaeologists suspect, this is the ancient city ruins? If a city, why all smelts, the construction of production? 一度让考古学家们怀疑,这是不是古城遗址?如果是城市,为何全是冶炼、生产的建筑? This may be specially be engaged in forging and production city, it certainly is not the capital city of some culture.” “这极有可能是个专门从事锻造、生产的城市,它一定不是某个文化的都城。” „Was this industrial center of Xia Dynasty?” “这难道是夏代的工业中心?” Also may be the military center, temporarily was unable to divide into periods, from culture, does not belong to Erlitou, is not the Longshan culture, this possibly is the dependency culture of Central Plain......” “也有可能是军事中心,暂时还不能断代,从文化上来看,既不属于二里头,也不属于龙山文化,这可能是中原的一个附庸文化……” Dependency? Your this had not acted according, here is Henan, situated in the Central Plain center, from the jade carving, it looks like with the Longshan culture very much, certainly is among a transition culture Yu summer.” “附庸?你这就更没有依据了,这里是新郑,位于中原腹地,从玉器来看,它和龙山文化很像,一定是虞夏之间的一个过渡文化。” Among Yu summer where has the transition culture? From so strong bronzeware productive forces, this should be the Xia Dynasty same time culture.” “虞夏之间哪有过渡文化?从如此强大的青铜器生产力来看,这应该是与夏代同期的文化。” The archaeologists debate unceasingly, until some people from the ruins, unearths a bronze god tree...... 考古学家们争论不休,直到有人从遗址中,挖掘出一尊青铜神树…… „? Can't? Is it actually the same type with 3-Star pile of cultures?” “啊?不会吧?它竟然与三星堆文化属于同一类型?” This is a major discovery! The 3-Star pile was not the independent and isolated culture, it had a loose leaf!” “这是个重大发现!三星堆不是独立、孤立的文化了,它是有开枝散叶的!” „The Central Plain and Shu great distance is really far, has the extremely personal exchange. The person in this city, has the possibility to concur in the culture of Yangtze valley and Huanghe River valley extremely simultaneously, can therefore like this.” “中原与蜀地相隔甚远,却有着极其亲密的交流。这座城市的人,极有可能同时身兼于长江流域与黄河流域的文化,所以才会这样。” Said that...... is Zhuanxu?” “这么说……难道是颛顼?” On the scene is the big shot, thinks of Zhuanxu quickly, because of the literature record, the Zhuanxu ancestors was sealed the Shu place, after passing on several generations, Zhuanxu became the lord of Central Plain. 在场的都是大佬,很快想到颛顼,因为文献记载,颛顼祖上是被封到蜀地的,传了几代之后,颛顼又成了中原之主。 Therefore the Central Plain and Shu in first business the period, the exchange closest time, the big probability are the time of Zhuanxu. 所以中原与蜀地在先商时期,交流最密切的时代,大概率是颛顼的时代。 „Is this capital city emperor mound of Zhuanxu? If, then the advent of bronze technology, at least prompted forward for 500 years.” “这是颛顼的都城帝丘?如果是真的,那么青铜技术的出现,至少向前推进了五百年。” Said possibly is not the capital city, although has not excavated, but so large-scale workshop ruins group, definitely will have correspondingly for regionalization that the worker occupies, then, at least occupied 30 to 400000 square meters area, this obviously is not the political center. The national capital of this/should culture, can only say that had not been discovered, we only discovered the city of this smelting.” “说了不可能是都城,虽然还没发掘完,但如此大规模的作坊遗址群,必然会有相应的供工人居住的区划,如此一来,就至少占了30到400000平方米的面积,这显然就不是个政治中心。该文化的国都,只能说还没被发现,我们仅发现了这座冶炼之城。” This culture besides not discovered national capital, unexpectedly large-scale, concentric, are the cities and towns of special smelting production...... the Zhuanxu time, unexpectedly more advanced than Yao technology? Was the Yao and Shun period the technology to back up?” “该文化除了未被发现的国都以外,竟然还有规模庞大的,集中性的,专门冶炼生产的城邑……颛顼时代,竟然比尧都的技术还先进?尧舜时期属于技术倒退了?” The archaeologists are panic-stricken, Taosi they guessed that is Yao, there is a bronzeware, but from the productive forces, was farther than this city difference. 考古学家们惊骇莫名,陶寺遗址他们猜测是尧都,也有青铜器,但从生产力来看,比这座城差远了。 If is really the time of Zhuanxu, after that means Zhuanxu dies , the culture to present the interrupt, the technology started to retreat. 倘若真是颛顼的时代,那意味着颛顼死后文化出现了中断,技术出现了倒退。 When Tang Yu, lost the Zhuanxu period advanced bronze technology. 唐虞之时,失去了颛顼时期先进的青铜技术。 Waits for, I know that this possibly was anything...... the ruins of Zhurong! Right! Records, the ruins of Zhurong in Henan.” “等一下,我知道这可能是什么了……祝融之墟啊!对吧!古史记载,祝融之墟就在新郑。” Right, the ruins of Zhurong, since called the ruins, showing has abandoned, from the scene, was the flood causes, the entire city covered under the silt, therefore was renamed the ruins of Zhurong from the Zhurong country.” “对对对,祝融之墟,既然叫墟,说明早已废弃,从现场来看,是洪水导致的,整个城市覆盖于泥沙之下,所以从祝融国改叫祝融之墟。” Altogether labor palm hydraulic engineering, Zhurong palm hot advantage project, smelts the manufacture!” “共工掌水利工程,祝融掌‘火利’工程,也就是冶炼制造!” Not only that Zhurong or military officer, therefore the Zhurong country, was Ministry of Defence of antiquity period!” “不仅如此,祝融还是军事长官,所以祝融国,就是上古时期的国防部!” This place specifically is responsible for making large number of weapons, is the industrial center of Central Plain.” “此地专门负责生产大量的军械,同时也是中原的工业中心。” ...... ……
