The ancient corpse of Mawangdui Han Tomb refers to a female corpse found in a Han Dynasty burial cemetery in the eastern suburbs of Changsha City, Hunan Province in 1972. She has provided a unique model for world medicine and has made great cultural contributions.

The unearthed cultural relics of the Mawangdui Han Tomb provide extremely important material materials for the study of the development of economy, science and technology in the early Han Dynasty, as well as the history, culture and social life at that time.

What dynasty is Mrs. Xin Chai from? As follows:

In history, Mrs. Xin Chai was born in the fifth year of Qin Shi Huang, that is, in 217 BC, and died in the twelfth year of Emperor Wen of Han, that is, in 168 BC, at the age of 50, and was the wife of Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha.

Xin Chai and Han Xin belong to a lover relationship, and the two Liang Pai like each other, but later Xin Chai married Liu Bang in order to protect Han Xin, and conceived the dragon species. After Liu Bang killed Han Xin, Xin chased and fled, and finally married Li Cang and had two children.

Mrs. Xin Chai has been living a pampered life in Changsha, but the pampered Tan Chai has always suffered from coronary heart disease, gallstones, atherosclerosis and other diseases, which made her die suddenly of coronary heart disease at the age of 50.

Several melon seeds were found in the intestines after Xin Chai's body was unearthed, probably because they ate too many melons and then contained the key cavity to cause biliary colic, which caused coronary heart disease, and finally died due to coronary heart disease.

The appearance characteristics of Xin Chai.

In April 2002, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the excavation of Xin Chai's body, the standard map of the restored physiognomy of four different ages (7, 18, 30, and 50) was finally drawn. Xin Chai's physiognomy has its own characteristics in the three age stages.

18-year-old Xin Chai has a ruddy face, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, a small pointed nose, thin lips and mouth, and an aura in his eyebrows; The 30-year-old Xin Chai is slightly plump compared to the 18-year-old, with slightly upturned eyebrows and a capable atmosphere in his eyes; The 50-year-old Xin Chai looks graceful and luxurious at a glance, but his face is sickly, with crow's feet all over the corners of his eyes, sagging eye bags, and loose skin.

Mrs. Xin Chai was a native of the Western Han Dynasty. Jing Qi Xin Chai, is the wife of Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha State, and has a son, Li Xuan; He died in the twelfth year of Emperor Wen of Han at the age of 50. It was unearthed in 1972 in the No. 1 tomb of Mawangdui next to the Liuyang River in the eastern suburbs of Changsha City.

More than 2,100 years have passed, the body is complete, the whole body is moisturized, the coverage is complete, the hair is still there, the fingers and toes are clear, the muscles are still elastic, and some joints can be moved. Almost similar to a fresh corpse, it is the best preserved wet corpse in the world, and it is also a living testimony of the social culture and life of the upper class of the Han Dynasty in China.

Take a look at this report:

After 23 months of arduous searching, a possible descendant of the 107th generation of Mrs. Xinchai of Mawangdui Xinchai of the Western Han Dynasty was found. On September 12, the young woman surnamed Xiang met the public for the first time at the Hunan Tourism Expo, causing an uproar among onlookers because her appearance and body were very similar to Mrs. Xin Chai more than 2,000 years ago. It is understood that the woman is 19 years old this year, originally from Hengdong, Hunan, and now lives in Chenzhou, Hunan.

The "descendant" has always been silent This woman surnamed Xiang has a classical and beautiful face. At the scene of the 2003 Hunan Tourism Expo, she was dressed in ancient costumes and stood side by side with "Xin Chai", under the gaze of ** reporters and audiences, there was a trace of complexity in her eyes. Is she really a descendant of Xin Chai?

It's kind of like that! "It's not too much like ......Many people present were amazed and their eyes were full of suspicion. In the face of the reporter's questions, she was always silent.

23 months of visit According to reports, an expert investigation team went to the possible place of residence of Xin Chai's descendants for 23 months to investigate and collect evidence, and after DNA identification and identification of relevant information on hundreds of "suspected" girls, the girl from Chenzhou was finally basically confirmed by the expert investigation team: she is a modern descendant of Xin Chai, who has been dead for more than 2,000 years. It is reported that the whole process of searching for Xinchai's descendants will be divided into "Xinchai Excavated", "Motivation for Finding Descendants", "Difficult Search", "Chenzhou Discovery", "Xinchai's Descendants Changsha Tour" and other feature films will be broadcast on Hunan Provincial TV**.

Credibility 70 Professor Luo Jingxi, vice president of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, is the leader of the research group of Xin Chai's medical research group. Professor Luo said that from the current investigation, the woman surnamed Xiang may have the most evidence that she may be a descendant of Xin Chai, which is the unanimous conclusion of the expert group. In order to make more accurate conclusions, it is necessary to conduct comparative studies of more genealogies, larger sample groups, and even more genealogies of the descendants of Xin Chai can be found.

The reporter asked how much of the woman might be a descendant of Xin Chai. Professor Luo said: "We can only say that there are about 70, and there is no absolute, only relative. ”

According to conventional opinion, there are two possibilities for the identity of the owners of tomb No. 3: one is the son of the Licang couple, but not the second generation of Hou Li, but a brother of Li, but this does not explain why Li was not buried with them; The second is Li Xi himself, but as the second generation of the marquis, the scale of the cemetery is too small. The view that "the owner of Tomb No. 3 is a 'third party'".

According to the analysis, people's views on the relationship between men and women in the early Han Dynasty were far less feudal than those in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and women were not necessarily required to "start from the beginning". According to historical data, Xin Chai was only a year old when Li Cang died, and it is entirely possible that she will remarry, and the owner of the No. 3 tomb may be Xin Chai's second husband. We suggested that DNA tests be conducted on the owner of Tomb Three and Xin Chai to verify their relationship.

It is understood that the discussion focused on four hot topics, namely the issue of the tomb owner of the No. 3 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, the research problem of silk calligraphy and silk paintings, the research problem of unearthed textiles and clothing, and the protection of the female corpse of the Mawangdui Han Tomb. It seems that Tomb No. 3 is Xin Chai's lover, and it is not unreasonable, but from the perspective of age, Tomb No. 3 should be before Xin Chai's tomb, so it is more likely to accompany Xin to return to his hometown. Xin Chai lived in that period, the court was relatively chaotic, mainly after Liu Bang's death, in order to control the power of the court, Empress Lu did not hesitate to kill her sons and grandsons, including her son and the son born to the palace maid, who was also killed by her.

The version of Empress Lü's killing in order to fight for imperial power is introduced in many historical books, so it is very close to Xin Chai's life experience that it is also close to Xin Chai's life experience.

The ancient corpse of the Mawangdui Han Tomb refers to a cemetery in the eastern suburbs of Changsha City, Hunan Province in 1972 where the Han Dynasty was buried. It is the wife of Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha State, and some people praise it as the underground cultural treasure house of the Chinese nation, and Westerners call it the "Pompeii" of the East.

There was a son, Lifeng, a grandson, Lipengzu, and a great-grandson, Lifu.

Then he disappeared from the history books.

Xin chases her husband's surname Li, you have to explain the surname first. There is no basis for nonsense.

The owner of Tomb No. 2 is Licang himself, and the owner of Tomb No. 1 is undoubtedly Licang's wife, the Marquise. The owner of Tomb No. 3 should be the son of Licang, In 193 BC, Licang, the prime minister of Changsha, was named Marquis of Han by Emperor Wen of Han. Eight years later, Takura died.

The narrow burial pit and simple burial goods of the Licang Tomb show that the Marquis family was not very wealthy at that time, and the round tomb entrance may also be due to its simplicity.

After Li Cang's death, his son Li Feng inherited the title and became the second Marquis.

According to historical records, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, due to the weakness of the country, several generations of emperors have implemented the policy of recuperation and recuperation, advocating frugality and simplicity. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty stipulated that no bronze, gold, silver and jewelry should be included in the burial goods of the princes.

Xin Chai did not violate the emperor's rules on the surface, but she did not really follow the emperor's instructions, everything shows that Xin Chai was a very greedy woman, because in that era, silk and lacquerware were also luxuries. She may be happy, but she is spoiled by fine clothes and jade food, she does whatever she wants at home, and does not know how to control and restraint. As aging approached, she was filled with fear, so she put all her sustenance on the palace after death, and drove a lot of manpower to build another luxurious residence for herself, and she did not hesitate to spend money on expensive lacquerware and silk fabrics.

The tombs are so luxurious that one cannot imagine what it was like to be in the palace during his lifetime: hundreds of slaves, countless treasures and endless delicacies.

Probably more influential than her husband and son at the time.

Xin Chai lived in a matriarchal society, Xin Chai's social status and position were much higher than her husband and son, and the matriarchal society respected everything for women, so it is not surprising that her tomb was larger.

It is related to the filial piety culture of the Han Dynasty, and the thick burial specifications of the parents are greater than those of the sons.

In the "underground dormitory" of the Hunan Provincial Museum.

Mrs. Xin Chai was unearthed in 1972 in the No. 1 tomb of Mawangdui next to the Liuyang River in the eastern suburbs of Changsha City. More than 2,100 years ago, the body is complete, the whole body is moisturized, the coverage is complete, the hair is still there, the fingers and toes are clear, the muscles are still elastic, and some joints can be moved, almost similar to a fresh corpse, it is the best preserved wet corpse in the world, and it is also a living witness that specifically expresses the social culture and life of the upper class of the Han Dynasty in China.

After Xin Chai's body was unearthed, due to the previous conditions and lack of sense of protection, the body was in contact with the air for a long time, and it was about a year later that a glass coffin was symbolically made for the body.

At that time, the corpses had to be exhibited all over the country, and they were often directly carried out by the relevant personnel and placed on the table for display in the open air, without any protection, and the masses could even touch them casually, resulting in an extremely deteriorating state of preservation, making the original lifelike corpses unsightly and very seriously damaged.

In 2003, the relevant personnel finally realized the problem, and only then placed Xin Chai's body in the "underground dormitory" tailor-made for him in the Hunan Provincial Museum, which can be regarded as a remedy. This "underground dormitory" is 8 meters above the ground, with constant temperature and humidity, imitating the original state of the unearthed construction, close to the previous environment in the Mawangdui ancient tomb.

Xin Chai's body has been moved to the new exhibition building of the Hunan Provincial Museum to create an "underground dormitory" tailored for him. The "underground dormitory" is 8 meters away from the ground, with constant temperature and humidity, imitating the original state of the unearthed building, placing a large coffin, and there is a tomb model around, close to the underground environment where the "old lady" slept for more than 2,000 years.

Xin Chai (3rd century BC, 186 BC), was the wife of Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha State, and had a son, Li Xuan; He died in 186 BC at the age of 50. It was unearthed in 1972 in the No. 1 tomb of Mawangdui next to the Liuyang River in the eastern suburbs of Changsha City. More than 2,100 years ago, the body is complete, the whole body is moisturized, the coverage is complete, the hair is still there, the fingers and toes are clear, the muscles are still elastic, and some joints can be moved, almost similar to a fresh corpse, it is the best preserved wet corpse in the world, and it is also a living witness that specifically expresses the social culture and life of the upper class of the Han Dynasty in China.
