Chapter 64 Gold Leaf Mask
After Zhang Yuanyuan received a sudden business trip, she was immediately called by the propaganda to attend a meeting.

Changing the venue for a live broadcast is easy to say, but it affects the whole body. This is currently the most important endorsement in Yan Fuguang's hands, and there must be no mistakes.

After packing up their things and booking a hotel, on Friday afternoon, the two of them drove lightly and boarded a plane to Sichuan Province.

The location of the ruins is located in a prefecture-level city below Sichuan Province. Fortunately, there is an airport in the local area, and direct flights can reach it.

The excavation process of the Eastern Wei site was very long and the geographical span was very wide. A few years ago, the local government built an Eastern Wei History Museum near the original excavation site to display cultural relics unearthed in recent years.

Yan Fuguang's destination was there.

Under the night, YJ City looks very quiet, and the misty light rain adds a bit of coolness to the summer night in September.

"Shall we go directly to the hotel?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked while pushing the suitcase.

Yan Fuguang nodded.

When she came here, she inevitably had some feelings in her heart.

This place used to be the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Thousands of years have passed, and the vicissitudes of life have changed, and now there is no trace of the past.

There is a large standing sign at the entrance of the airport expressway, which promotes the only national museum in YJ City - the Eastern Wei History Museum.

Zhang Yuanyuan pointed to the signboard and asked, "Is that where we are going?"

Yan Fuguang, who had been looking out of the window in a daze, nodded when he heard the words.

"I remember that the site of the Eastern Wei Dynasty has been excavated for many years. I have seen related reports since I was in school. There are very few records about the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the history books before. Even the existence of the empress is not completely certain."

Knowing that she was coming, Zhang Yuanyuan had done her homework.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty existed at least 3000 years ago. Due to the lack of historical materials, there has been no conclusion about that period of history. Therefore, the discovery of the Eastern Wei relics in Yangjiang caused a great sensation in the whole country and even the world.

There was a hotel next to the museum, and Zhang Yuanyuan grabbed the last suite.

The two checked in in a low-key manner without attracting anyone's attention.

"Huh, yes, I thought the hotel environment in a small place was not good, but I didn't expect it to be pretty good here."

After entering the door, Zhang Yuanyuan checked the house routinely, and she was quite satisfied.

Yan Fuguang casually picked up the brochures on the coffee table, flipped through them, and said, "It was originally a theme hotel supporting the museum, so it must be done well."

YJ City has become a popular domestic tourist attraction because of the ruins of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, especially the news about the Empress' Mausoleum recently, if it weren't for ordinary weekends, the room would not be so difficult to find.

Looking out from the window of the room, you can see the outline of the museum not far away. The design of the exhibition hall refers to the first batch of unearthed national treasures. Under the night, it does have a bit of the charm of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

The next day

Because Zhang Yuanyuan wanted to stay and set up the equipment for the evening live broadcast, Yan Fuguang went out alone.

Perhaps because the news of the Empress Mausoleum was made public, even if it was just a weekend without festivals, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit.

When Yan Fuguang checked the tickets to enter the venue, he heard some people commenting that it was a pity that he could not see the excavation site, and he did not know when he would be lucky enough to see the cultural relics of the imperial mausoleum.

It was the first time for Yan Fuguang to experience this feeling of being in a museum and listening to people discussing his mausoleum, and he felt a sense of absurd joy.

The designers of the museum have spent a lot of thought to build a super-long "space-time channel", guiding visitors to gradually immerse themselves in the legacy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and experience the grass, trees, cities, a pool.

For Yu Yan Fuguang, most of the memories left to her by the Eastern Wei Dynasty are heavy and desolate.

At that time, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was besieged on all sides, and the king of Wei was killed in the battle in person, the queen was sick all the year round, and there was only one princess in the royal court, named Fuguang, who had just grown up.

At that time, she had just entered the war-torn era. Although she was the only princess in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, her life had nothing to do with pleasure.

Besieged on all sides and surrounded by powerful enemies, Yan Fuguang knows exactly what awaits him if the country is destroyed.

I don't know how much effort was spent to gather her subordinates, and how many new and old injuries were caused by leading the army. From the age of 16 to 26, from the princess of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the legendary empress, she is worthy of herself and the people of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Behind the glass display cabinet is a dark piece of wooden fragments, visitors can only understand through the introduction, this is lacquerware from 3000 years ago, which was a rare treasure at that time.

The rusty arrow clusters were randomly wrapped in sand, burying the sharpness of the past, and the arrow shafts and tail feathers have long been decayed in the long river of time, without a trace.

There are also wall bricks and roof tiles, every sand and gravel carry that unknown time.

Passing through the outer hall of the exhibition hall, the overall style of the central area is obviously thicker.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Fuguang saw a familiar golden disc.

With exaggerated decorations and ostentatious shapes, under the light, the bright colors are just as they were back then.

This is the sacred object used in sacrifices - Chiwu. Before the last expedition, the high priest used it to pray for the ten thousand troops.

In fact, Yan Fuguang did not believe in illusory gods, but the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which was in turmoil, needed such spiritual sustenance.

Looking at Chiwu, who was so close at hand, she returned to that grand ceremony in a daze, and the ceremony and music intertwined with bronze drums and stone chimes still echoed in her ears.

At this moment, Yan Fuguang really felt the power of time. The time of 3000 years passed through her body, which seemed very real at this moment.

There is a huge screen on the wall next to Chiwu, showing its unearthed history, as well as the introduction of it by experts and scholars.

Due to the lack of written records, people can only speculate about the general purpose of the disc, so no one knows the name Chiwu.

Today everyone can only call it a golden disc. If Chiwu is really alive, I don't know if it will be angry.

In addition to Chiwu, the main museum also exhibits six other major collections, all of which are national first-class cultural relics unearthed from the sites of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in recent years.

Yan Fuguang had never seen several of them before, after all, she had only been in contact with the Eastern Wei Dynasty for only ten years.

But there is one thing that Yan Fuguang didn't expect to see it here again.

It was half a gold leaf mask engraved with the sun god bird, as thin as a cicada's wing and beautiful.

Unlike other exaggerated gold products, the proportions of this mask are life-like.

It seems to be telling the world that it once had a real owner, not just to worship imaginary gods.

Although the mask is incomplete, it has attracted more attention than others since its unearthed.

No one knows why in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, where gold products were almost all used for sacrifices, there was a gold leaf mask based on a real face.

Moreover, the thickness of the mask is only 0.02 cm. It is hard to imagine how the ancients achieved such perfection thousands of years ago. It must have been a national treasure in the Eastern Wei Dynasty at that time.
