Development history

Liye ancient city archaeological site park is located in Liye ancient city, Longshan County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. It is famous for its 37400 Qin Bamboo Slips Unearthed in 2002.

Liye has a long history and profound cultural heritage. Human activities began as early as the Paleolithic age. 2 200 years ago, Liye, the ancient city of Liye, was the county seat of Qianling County of Dongting County in the Qin Dynasty. It was an important political, economic and military town at that time. Liye is the only ancient town in Hunan, which not only inherits the culture of Qin and Han Dynasties, but also integrates Bashu culture and Tujia culture. In June 2002, Liye discovered the ancient city ruins from Warring States period to Qin and Han Dynasties, which filled the archaeological gap of the ancient city of Qin and Han Dynasty, especially the ancient city of Qin Dynasty. In particular, more than 37000 pieces of Qin bamboo slips were unearthed, which involved the political, economic, military, cultural and other fields at that time. Its value was comparable with the oracle bone inscriptions in Yin Ruins and Dunhuang documents. It was praised by experts as "Xi'an terracotta warriors in the north and Li in the South" Ye Qin bamboo slips. At the same time, there are weijiazhai ancient city of the Western Han Dynasty, Daban ancient city of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Maicha ancient tomb group, Qingshuiping ancient tomb group of the Western Han Dynasty and Daban ancient tomb group of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In June 1985, a group of bricklayer in Liye town dug out some pottery and weapons while digging mud to make soil germ. Since then, the intermittent archaeological excavation of Liye has been opened. On April 17, 2002, in order to cooperate with the construction of Wanmipo hydropower station, an archaeological team organized by Hunan Provincial Institute of archaeology went to Liye for rescue excavation, and the style of Liye ancient city gradually revealed.

Hundreds of ancient tombs and burials have come to light at the same time as the ancient city. The ancient city is built next to the river and close to Youshui, covering an area of more than 10000 square meters. There are rammed earth walls, moats, building sites, and drainage facilities. Many ancient wells are regularly distributed inside and outside the ancient city, forming a complete ancient city system.

Liye National Archaeological Site Park, which was officially opened to the public on October 28, 2010, is a world-famous cultural and tourism brand, including Liye Qin Bamboo Museum, the only special Qin Bamboo Museum in China, and Liye ancient city site, a national key cultural relics protection unit.

In 2011, Mr. Huang Moya chose this brand-new Qin culture stronghold, Liye Town, Longshan County, Xiangxi, where 37000 pieces of Qin bamboo slips were unearthed (i.e. Qianling County, qindongting county), as the creation site. With the book "head China", he completed the systematic analysis and unique reflection of the pre Qin history and even the Chinese civilization, traced back to the source of the "Chinese dream" and explored the core value of Chinese civilization value

Collection

Painted pottery

In addition to clothing, food, housing and transportation, the most important activity of the ancients was probably sacrifice, and the time of sacrifice also depended on the sacrificial person and object. All kinds of utensils displayed in sacrifice are sacrificial utensils.

This group of utensils is used for sacrifice, can also be used as burial objects. All of them are painted in red, yellow, black and other colors, and there are phoenix patterns in red and black on the tripod. The tripod was originally a cooking utensil, used to cook meat, later known as an important sacrificial utensil. The use of sacrificial utensils is strictly different according to people's social status, especially in the use of tripod. The ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulated that the emperor's nine cauldrons, the princes' seven cauldrons, the officials' five cauldrons and the scholars' three cauldrons could not be used by ordinary people. However, in the Warring States period, rites and music collapsed, and ordinary people also used tripods. However, from the perspective of archaeology, the sacrificial utensils unearthed in Liye include pottery and bronze, which shows that the sacrificial utensils used by people of different social status at that time were of different texture.

Pottery stove

Cooking and boiling water are inseparable from the stove. In the Warring States period, the Qin people had already used compound cookers such as stove, kettle (f ǔ) and steamer (Z è ng), and also built a rectangular Lian Yan stove with bricks or adobe (P ī). At the same time, it was also used as food and dishes, saving both time and fuel. This kind of stove has been used for more than 2000 years and can still be seen in the countryside. The model utensils of stove also appeared in Qin Dynasty. These are the models of cooking utensils in the Qin and Han Dynasties. You might as well compare them with the present ones. It can be seen from the model that there were many kinds of stoves at that time, including one eye, two eyes and three eyes. There were fire doors in front of these stoves and chimneys behind them, which could not only protect people from the pain of smoke and fire, but also keep the room clean. It can be seen that the ancients had ingenious design of stoves and considered them carefully. There is a kettle on the stove and a steamer on the kettle, which not only saves time but also materials, reflecting people's full utilization of heat energy and energy-saving concept more than 2000 years ago.

Tongboshan furnace

This collection is a bronze Boshan furnace in the Western Han Dynasty. In the Warring States period, China had the habit of incense, which was used to drive away mosquitoes and flies, disinfect and deodorize. It was also used in sacrificial rites. The incense burner used for incense burning changed from Qin Dynasty to Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, it was a fumigation furnace, which burned the plants of Festuca arundinacea. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a Boshan furnace, which was named after the furnace cover as Boshan shape. In the furnace, some spherical or cake shaped spices such as borneol and Suhe were burned. In Liye area, there are many mountains and crystals. In summer and autumn, there are many mosquitoes. Indoor articles are easy to get damp and moldy, especially the fragrance. It is now collected in Liye ancient city (Qin Bamboo Slips) Museum

A brief introduction of "jiujiubiao"

In the management of money and materials, the Qin Dynasty had a relatively perfect system. The relevant records in Liye Qin Bamboo Slips reflect that the material management at that time was very strict and meticulous, from storage of money and grain to military equipment, from material use to material measurement, and the contents of material storage, accounts, prices, turn over and transportation were standardized in the form of legal provisions. Of course, when it comes to specific work, it is inseparable from accurate numerical operation.

You must be familiar with multiplication table. It is a basic tool of numeral operation that must be memorized in childhood. This slip is the earliest and most complete multiplication formula table found in China, more than 2200 years ago. It shows that as early as the Qin Dynasty, Chinese people had mastered the law of multiplication and exchange, and used it in all kinds of counting needed by social life. It also proves that ancient Chinese mathematics was quite developed.

Lute.

Generally speaking, the confidentiality of official documents is very important. After the official document is written, in order to prevent it from being opened privately in the process of transmission, it is necessary to deal with the official document to ensure the confidentiality of the document. In Qin Dynasty, the confidential treatment of documents was called "seal". Its sealing method is: a wooden board called "Jian" is covered on the bamboo slips with official documents, then the "Jian" and the bamboo slips are tied together with ropes, the seal is put on the "Jian", and then the seal of the official in charge is stamped on the seal, finally the sending and receiving address, postman, postal delivery method of the above books are written on the "Jian".

In the previous bamboo slips, "Dongting county" was mentioned, and the word "Dongting Sima" on this seal is also a proof of the existence of the administrative division of "Dongting county" during the reign of Emperor Qinshihuang. It is now collected in Liye ancient city (Qin Bamboo Slips) Museum
