Chapter 426

Everyone surrounded the round pit Fang Yang dug and cleaned the dirt bit by bit.

Even Team Leader Jiang and the others curiously surrounded them.

Until around 12 o'clock noon.

A hard thing similar to pottery was cleaned out of a part.

This discovery immediately made the cultural relic experts at the scene excited.

This also means that they didn't work in vain.

There really are cultural relics below.

Team Leader Jiang originally planned to take Fang Yang to eat at noon.

But in this situation, he definitely couldn't go.

Had to call someone to deliver fast food.

Everyone waited for the result while eating.

Until around 12 o'clock.

The things in the dirt were completely displayed in front of everyone.

It was actually a pottery figure made of mud.

A person, legs bent, buttocks sitting on the ground, hands resting on the legs.

Looks like he is resting.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1...

—【Damn, what is this? Its shape and clothing look a bit like a terracotta warrior, could it also be a kind of terracotta warrior? But I have never heard of a terracotta warrior with this posture!】

—【It shouldn't be, but it is nine out of ten a cultural relic from the Qin Dynasty. My God, another cultural relic from 2,000 years ago, actually preserved so completely, eh.. the hole in his arm looks new? Could it be that Fang Yang shoveled it broken?】

—【Being able to be preserved until now with this degree of completeness is already very amazing. There aren't many terracotta warriors with high completeness, most of them are repaired. It's just that it feels very ordinary to me!】

—【Cultural relics don't care about their own high value, but their historical significance. For me, seeing Fang Yang dig up cultural relics and then listening to him tell a story is the biggest harvest.】

The archaeological experts looked at the sitting figure and were excited.

After hearing that Fang Yang dug up those things yesterday, they were all envious.

Just hoping that Fang Yang could come here to dig.

As a result, they got information early in the morning.

The satellite system discovered Fang Yang's tracks.

His direction was exactly Yunxi City.

So the Municipal Bureau immediately decided to send them to wait at any time.

Although they waited for several hours.

But they didn't have any complaints.

Thinking that they could witness the birth of cultural relics today.

Let alone waiting for several hours, they would be willing to wait for a month.

This kind of thing is always hard to come by.

Just like now.

It hasn't been long, and they dug up a human figure from the Qin Dynasty.

Although they don't know the specific value of the human figure yet.

But from historical records, this is the first time such a sitting human figure has been excavated.

If nothing goes wrong, it is very likely to fill a piece of history today.

And they are the witnesses who participated in the filling of this history.

255. All the clothing of the ancients was to highlight their status!

When the whole human figure was lifted from the ground by the archaeological team.

Everyone surrounded it to study.

But obviously, they couldn't see anything.

Finally, they could only ask Fang Yang for help.

Fang Yang walked up, and the system panel popped up accordingly.

【Jiju Figure】

【Cultural relic characteristics: sitting on the ground with legs stretched forward, palms facing up, left hand slightly clenched, right hand palm facing down and clenched into a fist, with a serene expression, peaceful face, in a fighting posture.】

【A very rude sitting posture in ancient times...】

After reading the system introduction, Fang Yang shook his head.

There are many ancient etiquettes.

The ones that have been preserved can be said to be the inheritance of Chinese culture.

It can also be said that the etiquette at the time was really too strange.

"There are two sitting postures in ancient times, one is commonly used in public occasions, Jizuo."

"To put it plainly, it is a sitting posture similar to kneeling, with the buttocks close to the heels and the upper body upright."

"Must distinguish clearly, this is sitting, not kneeling!"

"The difference between kneeling and sitting is that when kneeling, the whole thigh to the body is straight."

"But Jizuo is buttocks connected to the heels, there is a big difference."

"Then the second sitting posture, which is the posture of the human figure in front of us, is called Jiju sitting."

"Buttocks on the ground, legs straight like a winnowing basket, called Jiju sitting."

"In our view now, this sitting posture is very normal, for example, doing yoga, doing stretching exercises, or just sitting like this when your legs are sore."

"But the ancients couldn't tolerate it at all."

"Give a simple example."

"One day, Mencius ran to his mother to complain, saying I want to divorce my wife.."

"Then his mother asked, your wife is so virtuous, why divorce her?"

"As a result, Mencius said, I just entered her room, guess what?"

"I saw her sitting with her buttocks on the ground, just sitting like that."

"His mother scolded him after hearing it."

"Your wife is alone in her own home, in her own room, there is no one else, what's wrong with sitting like this."

"Besides, you didn't knock when you entered the door, let people welcome you, now you blame others?"

"From this little story, you can see."

"First, ancients all sat like this in private."

"Ancients are not stupid, kneeling is very tiring and painful, you will know if you experience it, let alone those who don't kneel often, even those who kneel often can't stand it for a long time."

"So, the sitting posture must be more comfortable with the buttocks on the ground."

After listening to Fang Yang's story.

Team Leader Jiang asked curiously: "Then why didn't the ancients sit like this?"

Fang Yang smiled: "Because ancients pay great attention to etiquette."

"And their clothes are different from our modern ones."

"First of all, their underwear in the past was not as perfect as ours now."

"Their underwear is a bit like the sumo in Japan, the one wrapped around the waist is called Dubiqiao."

"So that kind of underwear simply can't completely cover it."

"Of course, this is not the most important thing, the main thing is the design of their clothes."

"Before the pre-Qin period, the most popular was upper clothes and lower skirts, which were two sets."

"Above is a short coat, below is a skirt. Everyone should know that ancients actually wore skirts for both men and women, and they were separate."

"But by the Qin and Han Dynasties, they started to combine them."

"So look at the clothes of this human figure, from the upper body to the knee."

"Later in the Han Dynasty, this kind of clothing was called Shenyi."

"That is to say, he clearly has pants underneath."

"But the pants he wore are completely different from our modern pants."
