1, the origin of the martyrdom system: It can be said that the martyrdom system originated in the Shang Dynasty and is a kind of slavery that does great harm to people. When a big slave owner dies, he has to take away his private property, including his own efforts. At least dozens of slaves were martyred and hundreds of slaves were killed at most. This is really taking you away. You can't even leave if you don't want to. There are many bones in different postures beside a tomb unearthed in Anyang, Henan Province. What are hundreds of people doing here? According to records, there were slaves who were killed and driven away, slaves who cooked, singers and even slaves who kept dogs ... how much more? After being elected as a martyr, the person in charge will arrange a delicious meal for the martyr. Those with high status will be sent to their rooms separately, while those with low status will generally get together for a group dinner. Although the last dinner was very rich, after eating this meal, I was in tears in most cases. Human martyrdom is cruel, some are poisoned, some are buried alive, some are strangled, there are various ways to die, and there are concave shapes after death. It's really a play to give the tomb owner a kneeling position or other shapes first. This system is rooted in the feudal hierarchy for thousands of years. Slaves are bought and sold like commodities, and only nobles are the real top of the food chain. There is a word that is the same as martyrdom. The biggest difference is that martyrdom does not care about the wishes of martyrs, and most of them are buried after natural death, so there are funerary objects. Let me introduce the famous emperor martyrdom in history.
2. Qin has always been a big country of human sacrifice, and 177 bodies were found in Qin Mugong's tomb, all of which were human sacrifices. Qin Shihuang, who is more awesome, is probably the emperor with the most martyrs, but it's not his fault. His son, Hu Hai, adopted a one-size-fits-all strategy in dealing with this matter, directly executing all barren monkeys, and the monkeys went into the sea. Ying Zheng just built a house for her woman for hundreds of miles, so how many people does it take? ! At present, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is still a mystery ... and Genghis Khan, who accompanied her more than 40 beautiful women and war horses all her life, died, and the horse fell ill with the human system. Zhu Yuanzhang, also the founding emperor, did not show weakness, and 46 concubines were buried with him. Sometimes falling in love is also a mistake. If you fall in love with the emperor's life, you hand over half. This is a high-risk occupation. Maids in the Ming and Qing Dynasties had the hardest time. They worked all their lives and were buried when they arrived. Judy was buried with 30 maids. The system really kills people. In fact, ancient emperors, concubines, princes and nobles could all ask the following people to be martyred. It is impossible to prove how many people died in history.
3. Finally, funerary objects, such as terracotta warriors and horses, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, jade calligraphy and painting, are funerary objects. Because being a martyr is not enough, you have to take away what you like before you die. Cixi is a typical example. The funerary objects you took away were worth 200 million taels of silver, equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty for three years. Is it shocking? The more famous funerary objects are introduced to you: Simu Wuding and Siyang Fangzun in Shang Dynasty are both funerary objects of Shang King. Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, is also a beautiful jade article. Famous calligraphy and painting like Preface to Lanting is said to be in Zhaoling. Crown and rockhopper unearthed from Zhu Yijun's tomb in the Ming Dynasty include 103 gold ingots and 27 1 silverware. 63 pieces of silver ingots, silver cakes 1 piece, gold-plated silver coins 192 pieces, etc. In the 13 category. Except for 103 gold ingot and 100 yuan to eliminate disasters and prolong life. You really brought your own vault. Feel free to feel the exquisite funerary objects below ~
