Chapter 538

"Everyone might not know much about cultural relics, but you might know a lot about some novels and be more interested in them."

"In tomb-raiding novels, there are descriptions of human-faced birds, and the monkeys in their stomachs are parasites."

"The prototype of this species is the tomb-guarding beast in the tomb."

"The human-faced bird appeared in the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace."

"Its role is to guard the tomb chamber so it is not disturbed by the outside world."

"And the role of tomb-guarding beasts in reality is roughly the same."

"People in ancient times hoped to use tomb-guarding beasts to guard the tomb chamber."

"There are records in the Tang Liudian and Song Huiyao."

"Dangtang, Dangye, Zuming, Zusi, Tianguan, Dixhou, a total of six."

"A total of three pairs."

"Dangtang and Dangye are the Heavenly King figurines."

"Zusi and Zuming are the tomb-guarding beasts."

"Tianguan and Dixhou are another pair."

"According to some records of Song Dynasty Taoist culture."

"Tianguan and Dixhou are actually the tortoise and the snake."

"The combination of tortoise and snake is Xuanwu."

"The double-headed snake figurine should be a transformation of Dixhou."

"And the pair in front of us should be Zuming and Dixhou."

411. We must believe in science, the most ruthless is the imperial family! (Seeking full subscription)

--【Ghost-eating beast? Then the tomb owner also became a ghost after death, isn't this afraid of running into a bug, and the two of them just start fighting?】

--【Ah, this... actually, we still have to believe in science.】

--【It seems tomb-guarding beasts don't have much effect; many have been stolen, and I don't know if people still put tomb-guarding beasts when they pass away now.】

--【Rich people now will directly carve two stone lions.】

--【They say it has an intimidating effect, but no matter how I look at it, I think it's quite cute, not terrifying at all.】

--【With no demons in the heart, looking at the beast is just a beast, showing only its true form and not its evil.】

--【I also think it's quite cute; I just showed it to people in the dormitory, and they all said my aesthetics are very abnormal.】

--【Cute types are rich and varied, just as colorful as beauty; only in this way can different aesthetic feelings be formed. Cute has different forms like lively and agile, clumsy and cute, quirky, etc. Don't pay attention to them; everyone's aesthetics are different.】

--【Yes, I also think it's quite cute.】

--【Hehe, the expression reveals a hint of clumsiness.】

--【How can this big-mouthed, underbite look not be called cute?】

--【Looking at it this way, I find that the author of the tomb-raiding novel knows these cultural relics very well.】

--【San Shu couldn't have been inside; he probably consulted a large amount of information and knew it by heart to be like this.】

--【These tomb-guarding beasts are purely psychological comfort; if they could really guard it, I'm afraid this tomb wouldn't have been dug up directly.】

--【Fang Yang's explanation is really good, easy to understand. I didn't understand it before, but combining it with some situations in the novel, it's almost clear at a glance, and it's also very vivid and interesting. It's really interesting.】

--【The culture of China is broad and profound; this shape is fierce, but the workmanship and art are very smooth and beautiful.】

--【But until now, I don't know whose tomb this is, why would they throw the tomb-guarding beasts directly near the tomb?】

The other people saw the obvious excavation traces at the scene through the camera, and the others fixed their eyes there.

Although the speed of the barrage was very fast, Fang Yang quickly captured these words.

To let everyone understand certain things better, he walked directly toward the tomb.

If the others hadn't seen Fang Yang dig out cultural relics, they probably wouldn't have let him pass easily.

After all, there were many people here who didn't pay attention to the information on the internet, and some didn't even know Fang Yang.

But they had just seen Fang Yang dig out the Tang Sancai tomb-guarding beasts with their own eyes.

And it was precisely because they saw him dig it out with their own eyes that they couldn't help but cast their eyes on him and became very curious about him.

At the same time, they had no intention of stopping him.

Fang Yang was still very satisfied with such a scene.

He actually hoped that what he encountered when working could be as simple as possible.

If that were the case, work could become more pleasant.

After getting closer, Fang Yang could give more introductions to the Tang Sancai tomb-guarding beasts; he said softly, with a very certain tone: "These two tomb-guarding beasts come from the burial tomb of Wu Zetian's Qianling, the Tomb of Crown Prince Zhanghuai."

"Wu Zetian, everyone should know very well; Li Longji, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng... these people are also famous in history."

"However, the owner of this tomb is probably not very famous, and the introduction to him in history is even less."

"Crown Prince Zhanghuai's name is Li Xian."

"He was the second son of Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi."

"He was once named Crown Prince, but later, because he threatened Wu Zetian's power, he was ordered to commit suicide by Wu Zetian at the age of 31."

--【It feels like Wu Zetian ordered people to die at every turn? Her own son, her own grandson were all ordered to die—is the situation not what we think? It doesn't seem right in terms of reason or emotion.】

--【How is it unreasonable? The most ruthless is the imperial family, I don't see any problem.】

412. Although Wu Zetian was not a good mother, she was a successful emperor! (Seeking full subscription)

--【Maybe it was a plague or genetic disease at the time, but history, it's always similar.】

--【Actually, I think so too; how many people in the world can do such things? It doesn't conform to common sense.】

--【Didn't Wu Zetian also kill her own young daughter to frame the Empress?】

--【Whether it's a man or a woman, if the means aren't ruthless, the position won't be stable; if others don't die, you die.】

--【Qin Shi Huang said, you are not wrong, but you have the ability to resist, that is your fault.】

--【Guilty of having a treasure.】

--【If Wu Zetian wasn't ruthless, she couldn't have been an emperor.】

--【Really, people who do big things must be ruthless; sons can be killed. I just have a soft heart, which harmed myself.】

--【It's like a woman getting a divorce; some have already divorced several times. It's the same principle; the more they divorce, the bolder they become, and their status is very stable.】

--【People's aesthetics haven't grown in thousands of years; now online games are all in this style.】

--【People in my village used to dig up this stuff when tomb raiding, dug up more than 700,000, and now they live very well.】

--【Actually, aesthetics haven't not grown, but the ancestors were too advanced! Now people have various sculpting techniques; except for Western sculpture, most sculptures are imitating the ancestors' sculptures, the key is that they can't imitate that charm at all.】

--【Don't you think it's magical? Everyone takes it for granted that it's this image; is there a little bit like memory inheritance?】

--【Tigers don't eat their cubs; Wu Zetian is truly vicious.】

--【I think this is not for guarding the tomb at all, but for Wu Zetian to suppress her son's soul.】

--【Was there such a belief at that time?】

--【You are simply a talent; if there were no such beliefs, these tomb-guarding beasts wouldn't appear at all.】

--【Current beliefs are actually inherited from ancient times.】

--【Ancient building layout designs all have beliefs; the simplest is sitting north and facing south, do you understand?】

--【Your own heart is black, so everything you see is black, nonsense, this tomb was built by Li Xian for his brother, and at that time Wu Zetian had long been dead.】

--【Wu Zetian is a role model for women, leading to many powerful women now.】

--【Don't comment on Empress Wu Zetian casually; she is the only female emperor in our China, she had her own purpose for everything she did, and she is also the most successful representative among us women. Respect history, and respect ourselves.】

--【Even killing her own son, she is simply not worthy of being a mother.】

--【She is not worthy of being a mother, I won't deny this, but as an emperor, she is qualified, and very successful.】

--【Some people are really funny, saying she is not worthy of being a mother; do those male emperors in history deserve to be fathers?】

--【Because most of the people who say she is not worthy of being a mother are men.】

--【Yes, we women can still understand her. After all, in the position she was in at the time, if she wanted to sit firmly as emperor, she couldn't stand firm if she wasn't ruthless.】

Based on some things Fang Yang said, many people started a heated discussion.

Although they had discussed Empress Wu Zetian before, because the cultural relics unearthed at that time were different from those unearthed now, they focused more on discussing Wu Zetian's mother-son relationship and imperial relationship.

Most people understood Wu Zetian combined with the era at the time, although Wu Zetian was indeed very cruel when treating her sons and daughters. ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
