HLnovel Chapter 271 Yuan Dynasty
Chapter 271 Yuan Dynasty
Upon hearing this, the people in Wanchaozhong couldn't help but pull their clothes tighter. Hearing such a bizarre story, they felt a chill run down their spines!
As the saying goes: If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night.
We're not afraid???!!!
……
Studio.
Lin Ke continued, "But to be fair, their security capabilities are indeed not very good; there have been several thefts."
"For example, on June 14th of the fifth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, seventy-eight lotus flowers were stolen from his palace. Fortunately, the thieves were caught as soon as they got their hands on them."
"I don't know if they'll make money selling these or what, but will they say when they're selling them: 'These are lotus flowers from the palace!'"
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty might say, "This was personally prepared by Emperor Kangxi, hahaha!"
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty: !!!
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty: ?!
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: Execute his entire clan!
A spoiled young master from the Song Dynasty: These days, even flowers are being stolen!?
A scholar-official from the Han Dynasty: Is it possible that I was arrested because I took too much?
……
"Alright, that's about all the interesting stories about the Qing Dynasty. Let's talk about the Yuan Dynasty one last time."
"The Yuan Dynasty has a lower profile than other dynasties. The names of its emperors are too difficult to remember, and most people only remember Kublai Khan."
Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty: I'm really sorry!
"In addition, there is not much historical material available, and the hairstyle is not very attractive, so it receives little attention."
Lin Ke fiddled around for a bit and found a few pictures of Yuan Dynasty hairstyles, so that people in Wanchao could see a few hairstyle images.
Seeing someone with a Yuan Dynasty hairstyle: =????(??? ????)
What kind of hairstyle is that?!
They couldn't even find a word to describe it for a moment!
No matter how handsome someone is, they can hardly pull off this hairstyle!
Is it so that when riding a horse, one doesn't have flowing hair to obstruct their vision?
……
"Let me ask you this: you see a handsome, refined man with a great hairstyle, and then you see him and think, 'Oh my god, what's his hairstyle?' Do you fall for him or burst out laughing?"
"By the way, most emperors in history paid special attention to their tombs and built them to be particularly luxurious, such as with three dragons, phoenixes, and pigs. Of course, even commoners would pay more attention to burial objects."
"Speaking of which, it's actually the same in later generations. It's like a kind of ritual. For example, the offerings we descendants burn for our ancestors are like this!"
Lin Ke searched for videos on this topic and displayed them on the small screen.
The people in Wanchaozhong only saw one room with a sofa similar to that in Miss Lin's room, and a large square similar in style to the small light screen.
They were amazed by what they saw until they saw the paper servant in another place, and then they realized that this thing was made of paper. No wonder they felt a little uncomfortable when they saw it!
As the video played, Lin Ke continued, "As the first dynasty in history to be ruled by a foreign tribe, their funeral practices were quite different from those of the Central Plains."
"As a people who rose from the horse, they have a great reverence for nature, which makes their funeral rites tend to be simple and natural."
"Therefore, the location of the Yuan Dynasty's imperial tombs has always been a mystery."
"According to historical records, after the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty passed away, they would use two pieces of wood and carve out a space large enough to accommodate a person."
"Then the emperor's body was placed inside, wrapped three times with gold, and finally a deep trench was dug, into which the body was placed."
"As for other burial items, there are none. It's that simple, even more frugal than the simple burial practices of the Han people!"
"So in this situation, you'd be worried about tomb raiders, right? They probably wouldn't even bother to visit the site!"
Liu Zhuzhu of the Great Han Dynasty: Although, I still cannot accept this method!
First Emperor: Me too!
Empress Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: I'm still here! At worst, I'll just apply more poison! Damn tomb robbers!
A spoiled young master from the Song Dynasty: This is way too easy!?
A scion of a prominent family in the Tang Dynasty: Who would know if someone died? During times of chaos, when warlords ran out of money, they would dig up graves... Otherwise, pigs would have been visited by people several times!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: ...
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty: Speaking of which, does Miss Lin know which tomb is the most tragic?! Just enjoying the gossip, haha!
Others from Wanchao: (°ー°〃)…
Lin Ke saw the comment and twitched the corner of her mouth. This topic is probably going to infuriate a lot of people!
The tomb of Emperor Wanli alone was in terrible condition; it's said that even his bones were eventually gone!
But the Qianlong Emperor's tomb, which was bombed, looks quite tragic!
She even saw the tomb of Emperor Taizu of Jin, Wanyan Aguda, which was buried under a septic tank. It was a terrible sight!
So Lin Ke sighed and said, "The topic of our ancestors' tombs is a bit too heavy. Let's discuss it in a separate chapter next time!"
Lin Ke's answer gave some people a bad feeling, fearing that many people might be in trouble!
But they were both afraid and curious!
The Dragon-Phoenix Pig, completely unconcerned: ? ????……
"Getting back to the main point, after these people were buried, there were no tombstones to commemorate them or to allow their descendants to recognize them. They would even let horses trample on them until they were unrecognizable."
"As for how later generations commemorate their ancestors, the earliest method used was the 'old horse knows the way,' which involved killing the calf in front of the mother camel at the burial site."
"If you take the mother camel to that area again later, and the mother camel appears sad, then it means that the burial place is here."
"But the mother camel will eventually die, and the fate of this place will remain unknown, but this method is indeed somewhat cruel."
A farming expert from the Ming Dynasty: Incredible! They even came up with this method!?
A romantic and talented scholar from the Tang Dynasty: ...In the end, we can't even find it! We might as well have erected a monument!
A Han Dynasty official said: "No wonder the Yuan Dynasty imperial tombs can't be found in later generations. With this method, who can find them?!"
……
"Here's an interesting anecdote about the common people of the Yuan Dynasty. It's said that most of the common people's names were based on numbers."
"For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's father, Zhu Wusi, named him Zhu Chongba, so some people also call him Zhu Baba!"
"In later generations, some people jokingly called him Zhu Sixteen, because the two eights added together make sixteen."
"According to the Zhu family genealogy, Zhu Chongba's great-great-grandfather was named Zhu Bailiu, and his grandfather was Zhu Chuyi, etc."
"There are also Chang Yuchun's grandfather Chang Chongwu, his father Chang Liuliu, and Tang He's grandfather Tang Liuyi, his father Tang Qiyi, etc. It seems that such a habit does exist."
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter! This name is hilarious, hahaha!
Zhu Bajie of the Ming Dynasty (???): What are you laughing at?!
A spoiled young master from the Tang Dynasty: Hahahaha, Zhu Shiliu! Hahahaha!
A spoiled young master from the Song Dynasty: Hahaha, so that's how Zhu Baba got his name!!!
