In the summer of 2012, in order to cooperate with the construction of Metro Line 3, the construction workers were moving to a pipeline and found cultural relics. P

From July 2012 to 2013, archaeological experts from the Chengdu Institute of Archaeology and Archaeology carried out rescue archaeological excavations. 4 tombs in the Western Han Dynasty were cleared out.

The loom model, which has been discovered in the Western Han Dynasty so far, is rediscovered here. 10 medical books and a human body acupoint paint figure composed of more than 920 bamboo slips have outlined the Chinese medicine system which has become more and more mature over 2000 years ago.

In addition, there are more than 50 wooden slips, a large number of woodenware, pottery, bronzes and irons.

The artifacts found here shocked the academia.

< p > in the tomb No. 1 excavated, more than 50 unearthed wooden slips were excavated, which is the first time in the archaeological history of Sichuan.

"Qingchuan has unearthed a wooden slips, it is already very important, so many, it is rare."

Xie Tao, deputy director of the archaeological site and Chengdu Institute of Archaeology and archaeology, said.

< p > reporters learned that the contents of these wooden slips were initially divided into two categories: official documents and witchcraft.

Among them, the contents of official documents should be related to the law of paying taxes by Han Gao Zu and the "counting money" of Emperor Wu during the Han Dynasty, which provided important information for studying the tax system in the Western Han Dynasty.

"P" and witchcraft are related to women's quest for sons and disaster.

For example, there are wooden slips that read "women want to win men, Yu step 3, take" content.

< p > the 4 tombs of the Western Han pits are all medium-sized tombs.

The largest of them is tomb 2, which is more than 8 meters long.

"These tombs were stolen in the early days, and tomb 2 is no exception."

Xie Tao said that when the archaeologists cleaned up the coffin chamber of tomb 2, there was little left in the funerary objects.

However, there is a bottom box at the bottom of the wooden coffin.

Just as the archaeologists uncovered the bottom box, four models of loom with complex structure were astonished.

< p > Xie Tao introduced that the four loom models were made of bamboo and wood, and their structures were complex and clear, with silk and dyes remaining on them.

One loom is slightly larger, about 50 high, about 70 long and 20 centimeters wide, and the other three are small, similar in size, about 45 in height, 60 in length and 15 cm in width.

There are also more than 10 painted wooden figurines unearthed with P.

"From the different figures of the figurines and the different inscriptions on their bodies, it is presumed that they are different weavers."

Xie Tao analysis, the Loom Model and these painted wooden figurines should be the realistic simulation of the Shu Brocade textile workshop in the Han Dynasty.

According to the proportion of these figurines and human beings, looms are more than 3 meters long, 2 meters wide and high, and the size is nearly a small room.

< p > Chengdu Institute of cultural relics and Archaeology introduces that the four loom models unearthed should be a model of the brocade jacquard machine that had never been seen before. It is the only complete Loom Model of Western Han Dynasty discovered in China. It is of great significance to study the origin and development of silk textile technology in China and even the world.

Zhao Feng, director of the China Silk Museum and an expert in Chinese silk archaeology, told the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter that the loom model was the first unearthed Loom Model and the earliest jacquard model in the world so far.

Zhao Feng believes that this discovery is of great significance to the history of textile and technology in China, representing the highest level of textile handicraft at that time, and even having an important impact on the history of world textile.

< p > Zhao Feng thinks that the jacquard machine has been released from China, and the original weaving technology has been improved to make cardboard perforation, which has also become an important precursor of Telegraph and computer.

Wang Yi, President of the Chengdu Museum, said in an interview with the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter that the four loom models unearthed from Han tomb in Lao Guan mountain had great significance in proving the status of Shu Brocade in Chinese silk and its role in the exchanges between East and West.

According to the literature, Shu Brocade is known as the top of the four famous brocade.

However, due to the fact that the groundwater conditions in Chengdu are not convenient for preservation of organic relics, there has been no strong archaeological findings to prove how high the Shu brocade has reached.

Wang Yi introduced the unearthed Shu brocade, which has been unearthed along the Silk Road in Chengdu.

Despite the colorful and fine weavers of the five stars in the orient China, some scholars even questioned the existence of Shu Brocade in the academic world.

< /p >

< p > the mystery of the millennium is revealed by the discovery of looms. These cultural relics spanning over two thousand years can be filled with the discovery of textile history in China and the world.

Wang Yi said.

The discovery of this loom can confirm that Chengdu is the southern starting point of the Silk Road in history.

< /p >

< p > some scholars believe that < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > Shu Brocade loom < /a > mainly consists of two types: Bridge looms and flower looms.

Ding Qiao looms began in the Han Dynasty until the 70s of last century, and they still used in Shuangliu area, "should be the direct line of Shu Brocade looms."

The large floral weaving machine introduced by Sichuan in modern times may be an improved version after the pmission of the Ding bridge looms to Suhang and Hangzhou.

Wang Yi believes that if the argument about loom genealogy is not true, Chengdu's important position in the silk road must be reconfirmed.
