The reporter learned from the Hunan Museum on the 27th that experts from the Hunan Museum recently found that the auspicious words of "happiness, happiness, long life and infinite" were woven into the diamond patterns unearthed in Tomb 3 of Mawangdui, which is the earliest sentence found in the unearthed silk fabrics, filling the gap in relevant research fields. In April of this year, experts from Hunan Museum found woven characters in the diamond patterns of textiles during the first systematic clearing of the unfinished textiles unearthed in Mawangdui Han Tomb. After a series of research and comparison, the experts found that these words were all from the brown diamond pattern silk padded robe in the bamboo grove on the west side of Mawangdui Tomb No. 3, with diamond pattern on the surface, thin silk padded in the middle and thin silk lining. At present, more than 80 characters have been found in more than 70 fragments, all of which are vertically arranged Zhuan and Li characters, "Happiness, Happiness, Longevity and Endlessness". The Mawangdui Han Tomb excavated from 1972 to 1974 is the tomb of the three members of the Prime Minister of Changsha State and the Dai Hou Licang family in the Western Han Dynasty. More than 3000 exquisite lacquerware with complicated craftsmanship, silk clothing with fine embroidery and other precious cultural relics have been unearthed, which is one of the major archaeological discoveries in the world in the 20th century. Among them, the body of "Madam Xinzhui" unearthed from Tomb 1 is the longest preserved wet body in the world. It is reported that the owner of Tomb 3 in Mawangdui is Li Siege, the son of "Madam Xinzhui". Due to poor sealing and serious water seepage, many cultural relics were not well preserved during the excavation. Among them, the brown diamond pattern silk and cotton robe was folded and placed in a bamboo box marked with "two layers of silk and cotton", which had been broken into pieces when unearthed and adhered to other textiles in the box. "裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞裞, It is thinner than brocade. The diamond pattern of Qi found this time is not only exquisite, but also every word is woven into the diamond pattern. It can be inferred that this weaving technology was very mature at that time. "It is very difficult to preserve ancient silk fabrics. At present, brocades of the Han and Jin Dynasties with the same characters have only been found in the Niya Site in Minfeng County, Xinjiang, but the age is much later than that of the Han Tomb in Mawangdui. The characters on the brown diamond pattern silk padded robe are the earliest known characters on silk fabrics with more complex and exquisite weaving skills. Moreover, the diamond pattern patterns found this time belong to new patterns." Yu Yanjiao said. In the process of sorting out the fragments of the brown diamond pattern silk cotton gown, experts found that some of the silk surfaces were sewn into the clothes in reverse. "For example, the words' Ru 'and' Yi 'appear in reverse, which may be because the tomb owner died and was buried in a hurry, and the clothes were also clothes for the dead, so the stitcher made a mistake in his busy time." Yu Yanjiao said. It is reported that Hunan Museum has systematically cleared the cultural relics unearthed from Mawangdui Han Tomb, numbered all the cultural relics not recorded in the warehouse in an orderly manner, and cleared out more than 21000 pieces of collections.
