The discovery of "Crossing the Fairy Bridge" in the ancient tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty is said to be a touching love. What happened?

After reading this question, Mu suddenly thought of four great love stories in ancient China.

They are Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Meng Jiangnv cries for the Great Wall, Legend of White Snake and Liang Zhu.

Mu suddenly realized that in that era of material shortage and constant war, people seemed to be full of longing and yearning for love.

On the other hand, in today's society, the love between men and women seems impetuous and complicated. ...

What happened next expressed the respect and yearning of the ancients for beautiful love.

Let's take a look at the general content of this matter first, as follows:

When was the latest time?

Where is the ancient tomb of Yangjiawan in Nanfentang Village, Batang Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province?

Who is the archaeologist?

What is the reason for the rescue excavation of ancient tombs?

Archaeologists discovered a couple's burial tomb in the Northern Song Dynasty. Among them, there is a small window between the two burial rooms of the husband and wife's joint burial tomb, commonly known as "crossing the fairy bridge", which expresses the ancient people's beautiful expectation for continuing their marriage in the afterlife.

In this regard, some netizens said that they had eaten a wave of ancient dog food.

When he was a child, Mu liked to watch love stories such as The West Chamber, Peach Blossom Fan and Dream of Red Mansions, and he was full of respect and yearning for ancient love.

At that time, Mu Zhen hoped that he could travel to ancient times and have a beautiful encounter. ...

"Ten years in the same boat, a hundred years in the same pillow!" Husband and wife together is a kind of fate that has been cultivated for a hundred years, so we should cherish it.

I still remember that on the special day of May 20th, a man in Changchun, Jilin gave his wife a red envelope. The wife thinks that the amount of the red envelope is small, only 52438+0 yuan, and even got into a fight with him, and the man was beaten bloody. ...

A contrast between ancient and modern times, the gap is so big!

My friends, what do you think of this? Welcome everyone to leave a message in the comments section below!

In ancient China, women were only accessories of men and had no status. In ancient times, men could have concubines in droves. And women should pay attention to "three obedience and four virtues" and chastity.

Song dynasty was relatively lenient to women, allowing them to divorce, but they also had to be sentenced.

For example, Li Qingzhao, a famous poetess in the Northern Song Dynasty, 1 132 fled to Hangzhou. When she met Zhang Ruzhou, she coveted her property and courted Li Qingzhao to cheat her into marrying him. After marriage, I found that Li Qingzhao had no property, so I beat Li Qingzhao every day.

Li Qingzhao is a strong-willed woman. Unwilling to endure a humiliating life, she denounced Zhang Ruzhou for taking bribes and demanded a divorce. The court verified that divorce was allowed, but according to the law of Song Dynasty, a wife who sued her husband was sentenced to three years' imprisonment.

After being rescued by Qin Chongli, an academician, he was only detained for 9 days.

In the history of China, true love is rare. Therefore, articles and poems about conjugal love are so valuable.

But a fact discovered today not only reproduces the love of ancient lovers, but also has profound romance, comparable to the myths and legends of butterfly lovers.

On May 19, according to Hunan media reports, archaeologists discovered an Eastern Han tomb and a Northern Song couple's burial tomb during the rescue excavation of Yangjiawan ancient tomb in Nanfentang Village, Batang Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province.

Among them, there is a "crossing the fairy bridge" in the tomb where husband and wife are buried together.

Crossing the Fairy Bridge is a small window between two graves. It is said that couples can send messages through small windows, meaning to continue their marriage in the afterlife.

As soon as the news came out, netizens said that they were caught off guard and ate the dog food of the ancients. It was so sweet.

"Crossing the Fairy Bridge" reminds people of the poem that has been passed down through the ages: "I would like to be a lovebird in the sky, and I would like to live together on the ground, with two branches in one tree."

This kind of love is rare, and this kind of marriage is especially enviable. For thousands of years, how many people can grow old together and continue in the afterlife?

My opinion:

1. "Crossing the Fairy Bridge" symbolizes the beautiful expectation of ancient people for love. We hope to fly in heaven, and two birds will become one and grow together on the earth, two branches of a tree. !

Second, life is like autumn, so is death, and the afterlife will continue the previous life. The romance of the ancients spread to us today through time and space!

Specific event

Recently, during the rescue excavation of Yangjiawan ancient tomb in Nanfentang Village, Batang Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province, archaeologists discovered a tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a tomb buried by husband and wife in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Archaeologists found that there was a small window commonly known as "Crossing the Fairy Bridge" between the two burial rooms of the husband and wife's joint burial tomb, which expressed the ancient people's expectation of resuming marriage in the afterlife.

Death can be romantic or solemn, but it is not the end, but the continuation of culture and emotion!

In this land of ours, tens of billions of people have died, and everyone who left in war, famine and disease needs a funeral to rest in peace.

Crossing the Fairy Bridge is the product of the ancient concept of "death is like life". Husband and wife are together when they are alive, and they will be together when they die. There is a hole in the middle, imagining two loving souls, lying in it and chatting.

In ancient times, "Crossing the Fairy Bridge" entrusted couples with the blessing of continuing their marriage after death.

The tombs in Song Dynasty are usually simple in shape and have many small bricks, so the overall research value is not great. But to everyone's surprise, there is a small window between two adjacent tombs in this Song tomb. The technical term of this structure is "crossing the Xianqiao", which is not common in archaeology.

Most of the early ancestors were single tombs, and it was not until the Zhou Dynasty and China that husband and wife tombs began to appear.

There is a famous saying in the Book of Songs: "Valley is a different room, but death is the same point", but this is not the case in reality. At present, most couples' tombs in the Zhou Dynasty are buried together in the same cave, not in the same cave. The tombs in the same cave are essentially two tombs, but the distance is very close, which can be considered as joint burial.

The popularity of husband and wife burial was in the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the policy of making up the family by the whole people strengthened the core position of the family. Confucianism emphasized the importance of human relations, further strengthened the relationship between husband and wife, and promoted the trend of joint burial of husband and wife.

"Crossing the Fairy Bridge" appeared in the tombs of different caves in the Western Han Dynasty. There is a passage or a dug hole between the two graves, which means that the couple can continue to communicate in the underworld.

This phenomenon is the product of the transition from different points to the same point. However, after the tombs were buried at the same point, some tombs still maintained this setting, which lasted for thousands of years until the Song Dynasty.

Although there are beautiful meanings, there are not many couples buried together with "Crossing the Fairy Bridge". The excavation of Yangjiawan ancient tombs provides important archaeological data for studying the history, folk customs and burial customs in the southern part of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition to "crossing the fairy bridge", the ancients also had the custom of second time around, which originated from the idiom "secondary detour". The so-called custom of broken mirrors is to divide a complete bronze mirror into two halves and bury it in the tombs of husband and wife, which has been revealed as early as the Neolithic Age.

Once I tasted the vast sea, I felt that the water in other places was pale; Once you have experienced the clouds in Wushan, you feel that the clouds elsewhere are eclipsed.

Hurried through the flowers, lazy to look back; This reason is partly because of the ascetic monk, and partly because of who you used to be.

I hope all lovers in the world can grow old together and be United forever!

A few days ago, an Eastern Han tomb and a Northern Song couple's burial tomb were discovered in Yangjiawan, Nanfentang Village, Batang Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province.

Important discoveries have been made in both tombs. A "hot pot", namely an iron container and an iron tripod, was found in the Han tomb. The key is that there are burnt marks on the bottom of the container, which just proves that it is probably a "hot pot".

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a small window between the two burial rooms of the husband and wife's joint burial tomb, commonly known as "Crossing the Fairy Bridge", which expressed the ancient people's beautiful expectation for continuing their marriage in the afterlife. Netizens said that just after Valentine's Day, 5 12 was severely sprinkled with dog food by the ancients.

The ancients attached great importance to their parents' lives. Matchmakers' words, arranged marriages and feelings were mostly cultivated after marriage. Although a man has three wives and four concubines, only the first wife is eligible to be buried with his husband in the end. Husband and wife die at different times, so they often have similarities and differences. Open a small window between the two graves, as if two people lying inside can talk through the small window as long as they turn it down, and sprinkle dog food in a standard mode.

This way of "crossing the fairy bridge" was still very popular when it was generally buried in the last century. This actually means that the souls of the dead can still communicate with each other and hope to be together in the afterlife.

In fact, many places have the ceremony of "crossing the fairy bridge". However, the expressed wishes are still very different from the way of "crossing the Xianqiao" in tombs.

For example, in Suzhou, on May 7 after the death of the deceased, the filial sons and grandchildren were led by monks across the Xianqiao Bridge. The old-school practice should be the Eight Immortals table and stool; Xianqiao is a special steel structure in the shape of a bridge, with 20 steps and boards of different lengths as the bridge deck.

The dutiful son and grandson should hold the idol, carry rain boots and baggage on their backs, cross the "Xianqiao" and reach the top, and sprinkle some food to the onlookers. It means to send a deceased relative across Naihe Bridge. The rules here may need older people to say.

I really haven't heard of Crossing the Fairy Bridge, but I think it's "Mao Mao's". I looked it up when I saw the news. The original situation is like this:

Recently, the Yangjiawan ancient tomb in Nanfentang Village, Batang Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province is undergoing rescue excavation. During the excavation, archaeologists made a great discovery.

There is a burial chamber in the couple's burial tomb in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is not completely open, except for a small window in the middle, which is called "Crossing the Fairy Bridge" by archaeologists. Experts say that this is because the ancients had a will before their death, hoping that the husband and wife would continue their relationship in the afterlife. In fact, it is an affirmation of love now and an expectation of the afterlife.

After the news came out, netizens expressed their real shock. As soon as they saw it, they felt that they had eaten a big wave of "dog food" from the ancients. I wish everyone they meet a happy marriage.

In ancient times, although there was great inequality between men and women in status, there was always a phenomenon that men were superior to women, but the status of women in Song Dynasty was improved, much better than that in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Most importantly, in the Song Dynasty, women finally had the right to divorce and remarry, which was the greatest progress brought by the Song Dynasty to women's rights. In the past, when a man divorced his wife, it was almost impossible for a woman to divorce. However, remarriage did exist in the Song Dynasty, and all kinds of criticisms and discrimination were much less. To some extent, women can control their own happiness.

I think this is also one of the reasons for the "crossing the fairy bridge" in the tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty. Women are no longer men's accessories. Many men have to think about who will accompany them in the next life before they die, instead of taking it for granted that the wife now is the wife in the next life, so they have to open a "cross the fairy bridge" in the grave and continue the frontier.

The love of the ancients is shocking, but what about modern love?

An ancient Hakka folk song records the unswerving love between men and women, and also shows that the ancients were persistent in love for more than a lifetime, even including the afterlife.

This concept is not only reflected in songs, but also in some forms of tombs. For example, the tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty recently discovered in Ningxiang City, Hunan Province, has a beautiful testimony of the ancients to love.

"Crossing the Fairy Bridge" means that there is a small window between the tombs where husband and wife were buried together in ancient times, which connects the two "tombs", indicating that husband and wife can exchange information after death. This kind of burial rarely appeared in ancient tombs in the Northern Song Dynasty, because it was popular in the Western Han Dynasty, and gradually replaced by "burial in the same cave" after the Eastern Han Dynasty, so there were not many funerals of "crossing the fairy bridge", and it was very rare to keep this custom in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The joint burial of husband and wife is a very common phenomenon in history, and it is also the expectation of the ancients to continue a beautiful marriage in the next life. The customs in different periods and regions will be different. Hakka people used to have a popular custom of "second burial", that is, burying the bones of the deceased twice or more. At this time, husband and wife usually bury their bones in the same grave.

With regard to love after death, in addition to the "crossing the fairy bridge" where husband and wife are buried together, the ancients also had some interesting practices, such as "second encircling". This burial custom is to divide the bronze mirror used by husband and wife into two halves and put them in their coffins, so that they can reincarnate with their broken mirrors and continue their lives in the afterlife.

The "Duxian Bridge" found in the tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty has important archaeological value. For ancient tombs, we pay more attention to the tombs of ancient princes and nobles. Those tombs are generally big tombs, and even if the husband and wife are buried together, they are placed in adjacent tombs.

"Crossing the Fairy Bridge" is a form of burial for ordinary people. The scale of the two tombs is very simple, but it also reflects the folk customs and burial customs of the people at that time.

Recently, an archaeological discovery has attracted public attention because it has a "crossing Xianqiao".

This name, which seems to be related to immortals, is rarely heard. What is "crossing the fairy bridge"? Why is it related to love?

In April, 220, in Yangjiawan Tomb in Nanfentang Village, Shibatang Town, Ningxiang, Hunan Province, archaeologists discovered a tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a couple's burial tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two tombs buried by couples. Archaeologists also found that there is a small window on the curtain wall of the two tombs, which can make the two tombs communicate with each other.

After textual research, experts named this design "Crossing the Fairy Bridge", which refers to the "communication" channel between two tombs. The design of this "crossing Xianqiao" indicates that the couple in the tomb hope to continue the frontier and live a happy life in the afterlife.

Burying husband and wife together is a familiar practice of the ancients. Originally, it was a sign of husband and wife's love, and burial together meant "the same point of death."

Now it is found that the ancients were not only buried together, but also opened a small window where we could see each other. What a strong love this is! No wonder modern people envy.

In addition, now everyone says it's hard to believe in love and find a lover. "We want two birds to fly in the sky with the same wing, to live and grow together on the earth, two branches of a tree." Really appeared in the ancient tomb. How can it not be shocking?

There have been many touching love stories since ancient times. I wonder what kind of story the couple in this buried tomb in the Northern Song Dynasty had before their death.

I'm @ Declare Video. I am ugly and short of money. I keep track of the books I have read, the movies I have seen and the roads I have traveled. Look forward to your attention!

Recently, an ancient tomb was discovered in Yangjiawan, Nanfentang Village, Batang Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province. At present, archaeologists have carried out rescue archaeological excavations and found a tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is understood that as early as the third national cultural relics survey in 2007, the cultural relics department of Ningxiang City discovered suspected ancient tombs in this area. This year, in order to cooperate with the construction of Ningshao Expressway, Hunan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Ningxiang Cultural Relics Bureau conducted a rescue archaeological excavation of Yangjiawan Tombs.

As can be seen from the excavation site, this couple's burial tomb in the Northern Song Dynasty has two burial chambers, which are both connected and independent. Because tombs in the Song Dynasty are usually simple in shape and have many small bricks, according to the structure and characteristics of this tomb, archaeologists believe that a group of couples are buried side by side.

The lid of one tomb is missing, and the other is well preserved. Archaeologists found several tiles and pottery pieces in the tomb robbery, unearthed four glazed pottery pots and some coffin nails, and there were not many cultural relics. However, it is worth mentioning that there is a small window between two connected tombs, commonly known as "crossing the fairy cave" or "crossing the fairy bridge", which in ancient times entrusted the beautiful wishes and expectations of husband and wife to continue their marriage after death.

Experts say that this kind of "different burials in the same tomb" is very common in the Song tombs in Hunan. "Crossing the Xianqiao Bridge" means that couples can still meet each other often underground. In fact, the ideas of many people in the Song Dynasty are very similar to those of today, and have been handed down all the time.

In addition, less than 500 meters away from the joint burial tomb of husband and wife in the Song Dynasty, archaeologists also discovered a tomb of the Han Dynasty and unearthed more than a dozen artifacts from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Among them, there is an iron container and an iron tripod, and the bottom of the container has burnt marks. Two iron objects are combined together, much like a modern hot pot.
