Chapter 286: Ashes Scattered in the Sea
Chao Chao was surprised, "What a pity."
Wasn’t the terracotta figurines originally like this?
Emperor Jingxuan pursed his lips, thinking. Mercury? Then, could he also learn from Qin Shihuang's mausoleum when building the imperial mausoleum in the future?
The tour guide has taken Chao Chao and others to the second pit. The second pit is relatively small, but it displays different types of pottery figurines, mainly armed cavalry.
Terracotta figure No. 3 is the command center, and the pit is even smaller.
Afterwards, everyone went to the exhibition hall, where they saw various types of pottery figurines and the styles of horse-drawn carriages from the Qin Dynasty up close, with every detail clearly visible.
After coming out, a few people went to Lishan Garden. When they finished the tour, it was already evening.
Chaochao and Yuanyuan were obviously a little tired, so they didn't delay any further and went straight back to the hotel.
Yuanyuan collapsed in the car, panting, "The Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is too big. After walking around it, I lost two sizes."
Chao Chao wanted to laugh, but she also agreed with what Yuan Yuan said, "It's too big. I heard that the tombs of ancient emperors were all very large. Fortunately, Qin Shihuang's underground palace was built solidly, so those tomb robbers couldn't get in and steal things."
"Oh, that's because our ancestors were so powerful. I heard that Emperor Wu of Han's Maoling Mausoleum was not so good because there were too many good things buried with him. So those people went to rob his tomb when they had no money. It's really tragic."
The people of Daqi, "..."
This is indeed a bit tragic.
The corner of Emperor Jingxuan's mouth twitched. This was indeed recorded in history and he knew about it.
So he thought about whether it would be more appropriate for him to have a simple burial in the future.
The question is, if he said he was buried in a simple way, would his descendants believe him? Would they tear up his grave to verify the truth?
Emperor Jingxuan sighed, and when he looked up again, he heard Yuanyuan say smugly, "Fortunately, we are all cremating now, otherwise, even though our He family is so rich, our tomb would definitely be robbed."
He Zheyan knocked him on the head and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"How could I? Don't make excuses to hit me." Yuanyuan snorted, and his originally listless look instantly became energetic.
Chao Chao was stunned. "Cremation? What cremation?"
"Cremation is cremation. It means burning the ashes into an urn and burying them in a cemetery."
Chao Chao widened her eyes. It was the first time she heard of such a thing.
In Shangliu Village, when someone died, if conditions were good, they would prepare a small coffin and bury the person in the ancestral tomb.
If the conditions are not good, they will wrap the body in a mat and dig a hole in the back mountain to bury the person properly.
No one would burn a person into ashes.
However, Sister Lin Lan did tell her that some people who were infected with the plague or had contagious diseases might be burned after death.
But, but now...
Chao Chao didn’t quite understand, and a large number of people in the Da Qi Dynasty also couldn’t understand it.
Since they are dead, why should even the bodies be destroyed?
Later generations are too careless about these things.
However, some people expressed their understanding, especially some poor people who had a hard time living during their lifetime and could not care about what happens after death.
At this time, Yuanyuan also said, "But there are also many celebrities who scatter their ashes directly into the sea."
"Who is it?" Chao Chao asked subconsciously.
Yuanyuan didn't know, he just heard it. So he turned his head and looked at his brother.
He Zheyan was somewhat helpless and could only give an example, "Several leaders of our country have had their ashes scattered into the sea. For example, Grandpa Deng's last words were to donate his corneas and dissect his body for medical research, without leaving any ashes but to scatter them into the sea."
Emperor Jingxuan suddenly stood up from his seat. What did he just hear?
leader?
Is it an existence like the emperor in later generations?
No, even if it is not, the status should be very high.
He actually wanted his body to be dissected after his death for medical research, and eventually his ashes to be scattered into the sea!
In the eyes of Emperor Jingxuan, this was simply unbelievable.
Since he has already sat in that position, he must have a lot of power in his hands. For such a person, a grand funeral is not too much. Why would he want to deal with his body in this way? Do others agree? Will his family and his subordinates stop him?
Not only Emperor Jingxuan was shocked, but all the officials present were stunned.
It would be fine if the body was cremated, but why, why does it have to be dissected?
They think they simply can't do it.
The people of Daqi looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of the smart people suddenly realized why life in the future seemed so good and happy, because their leaders did not seem to put themselves in a very high position at all.
They raised their heads again and looked at Chao Chao in the sky.
It’s great that Chaochao has returned to such an era.
As they were talking, they quickly returned to the hotel.
The two children were really tired and felt drowsy as soon as they finished dinner.
Chao Chao insisted on calling Jian Yunsang before finally falling asleep.
The next day, the group went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda again, and then experienced the prosperous Tang Dynasty culture and watched a performance.
Every day they feasted their eyes, and the people of Daqi also broadened their horizons.
It turns out that the heyday of the Tang Dynasty was like this. It was so beautiful and lively. They felt like they were really in the environment of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The various scenery and programs made their blood boil.
Even Emperor Jingxuan yearned for it.
On the third day, Yuanyuan suggested that they put the sightseeing tour on hold and instead stroll around the streets and taste the local food.
Chaochao had no objection, so the group went to the busy food street to eat and drink.
They returned that afternoon. However, when they walked to an alley not far from the hotel, Chao Chao suddenly saw two people fighting in the alley.
No, to be precise, a tall and strong man was beating a woman.
The man was still cursing, "You still want a divorce? You stinky woman, I know you're having an affair with that man. You're holding your phone every day, are you flirting with him? If you keep being dishonest, I'll beat you to death."
The woman screamed and tried to defend herself while hiding. "I didn't do that. Ah Hui and I are innocent. We are just friends. He was my neighbor when I was at my mother's house. It's you who is suspicious all the time. Let me go. I'm going to call the police. Let go."
Chaochao was very angry when she saw this. She knew that this was domestic violence and was a very bad behavior.
Aunt Panpan’s ex-husband had beaten her before. My mother said that there are only zero times and countless times of domestic violence.
Chao Chao raised his head and looked at He Nanzhou, "Dad, let's save that aunt."
"Okay." He Nanzhou touched Chaochao's head, walked towards the two of them with a cold face, and grabbed the man's hand.
Chao Chao was secretly cheering up his father when he suddenly heard Ah Shan's voice, "Chao Chao, don't save him!"
