Shichengzi Site is located on the hills on the northeast of the northeast of the Liangliang Village, Banjingou Town, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,About 380 meters long north and south、About 280 meters wide,Total area of ​​nearly 110,000 square meters,Stewed terrain、Easy Shou difficult to attack,It is a military fortress established by the Central Plains dynasty at the northern foot of the East Tianshan period during the Han Dynasty.。Some scholars believe that the Ishichengzi site is the "Shule City" that the Eastern Han General Geng Gong.,Historical status is important。

2014-2019 Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Cultural Relics and Archaeological Research Institute carried out continuous active field archeological excavation work on the Ishichengzi bet365 Play online games site,Discover the city wall、City Gate、Corner Tower、moat、square brick、Tao kiln and tombs and other ruins,A large number of panel tiles with obvious characteristics of the Han Dynasty、tube tile、square brick、Building materials such as cloud pattern tiles,and fight with battle、Production and life -related appliances such as gray pottery can、Pot、bowl、瓮、Ceramics Wheel、Stone mill、Copper 镞、Iron armor and other。Concentration、Discovery of a large number of Han Dynasty style relics and relics,Make the Shichengzi site the ruler of the Narcroders of the Han Dynasty in Xinjiang。In 2020 Shichengzi Site was selected as "The Top Ten Archaeological Discovery of the National Top 2019"。

Botanical archeology of the integrated Shichengzi site、Animal Archeology、Analysis of Pentomotherapy and Ancient DNA Research Results,It can be very clearly seen that there are two types of people living in Shichengzi City at that time: agricultural population and pastoral crowd。Although these two types of people use wheat crops as the main food,But there is a significant difference in consumption of protein foods such as meat milk,Among them, the nutritional level of the agricultural population is relatively low,Mainly intake of crops and less intake of meat milk food; relatively high nutritional levels of pastoral people,A large number of animal and meat dairy products should be consumed during their lifetime。From the genetic spectrum of the individual of Shichengzi residents revealed by the results of the ancient DNA research,,Shichengzi Agricultural crowd has the genetic source of the late people in the new stone waters of the Yellow River Basin,and Shichengzi Animal Husbandry People have the genetic source of ancient Northeast Asian people。

The Tuncheng of the two Han Dynasty was the "supply station" and "bridgehead" closely exchanged from the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions。Comprehensive research above,We can describe the ancient city of the Han Dynasty, represented bet365 Play online games by Shichengzi,History of the interaction of agriculture and animal husbandry people。Tun Tianyu from the Central Plains Mainland mainly produces green crickets、wheat、Su、黍,and feed a lot of sheep、Niu and Horse and other livestock。These agricultural and animal husbandry products are supplied by logistical supplies,The Han Dynasty sergeant and messenger supplied to the Western Regions。other,As the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions are gradually closely close,Meat milk food also supplies the messenger of the western region and the Han Dynasty,Among them, there may be quite a lot of people who are living in Shichengzi.。

The animal husbandry people near the Tuncheng city of Shichengzi did not change their production lifestyle because of the Han people's arrival。They maintain their original eating habits,Get better nutrition and survival status。Two types of stone rotation for grain processing was also found at the Shichengzi site,Developed teeth、"Central Plains" medium -sized double grinding eye stones with better powder -making efficiency and the original non -grinding teeth small single -grinding eye stones of Western Regions。Based on the diversity of the lifestyle and genetic sources of Shichengzi residents,We speculate that the establishment of the ancient city of Shichengzi may condense the two -way contact with local agricultural and animal husbandry people、New situation of intimate interaction and mutual benefit。

  Nomad girl wearing silk

In a tomb numbered M2 in the tomb area on the west side of Shicheng Zicheng site,Quietly lying a minor woman living in the Eastern Han Dynasty。Putting iron 镞 around her、copper ear ring、Ring、Lacquer Woods and other funerals,The southeast of the tomb also found more than 140 pieces of sheep distance,Show a strong grassland nomadic culture style。Analysis of the ancient recipes of the same place,This girl belongs to the animal husbandry who uses the animal husbandry economy as the main way of life。The interesting thing bet365 Play online games is,M2's wooden coffin and tomb owner are wrapped by color and yellow -brown fabrics。After testing,We are sure that this kind of fabric is a large silk variety produced in the Mainland in the Mainland in the Eastern Han Dynasty -plain silk and red silk。The first discovery of the northern foot of Tianshan, Xinjiang,Why does the silk appear in the tombs of minor women in the pastoral crowd? We believe that,Find answers from the cultural meaning used by silk in the funeral customs and the local funeral customs of Xinjiang。

The Silk Road is known for its material cultural exchanges with silk as a medium。History books once recorded the grand occasion of Zhang Jian during the second time in the Western Regions during the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty,"Three hundred people,Horses two horses,Niu Yang is tens of thousands,赍 赍 帛 帛 帛,Multi -Holding Festival Deputy envoy,Dao can be sent to the side country "。"Silk" is the general name of silk fabrics in the flat fabric,It is the most common one in ancient Chinese silk varieties。"Said" once said "Silk,缯”,It means wheat blue silk fabric。Its structure is tight and stretched、Good wear resistance、Good wear resistance,Strong practicality。Silk is not only the textiles used by people in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty,It is also a common funeral item commonly used in tombs,It is an important carrier that reflects the concept of the ancestors' "death and life"。"Book of Rites" record,I think cloth。Send death with health,God God God。All from its Shuo。"For example,Hunan Changsha Mawangdui Han Tomb has unearthed "vegetarian 襌 襌" and T -shaped paintings covered with wooden coffin。

Since the Bronze Age of Xinjiang,It also exists on the coffin and the funeral customs covered with fabrics or leather products on the tomb owner。Representative sites in the Bronze Age of southern Xinjiang -Xiaoshi Cemetery and Grave Gravity Cemetery as an example,On the wooden coffin and the owner of the tomb, leather products and fabrics。To the Han bet365 Play online games and Jin Dynasties,Archaeologists In the ancient tomb of the Naya Site M8 and the Campaign Cemetery number M15,Except hair、Skin products outside,It also found a considerable amount of brocade、embroidery, etc.,Explain that the style is exquisite at this time、Making a complex "high -end silk fabric" has entered the funeral customs of nobles in Xinjiang。and the large silk products of the Shichengzi site appear in the tomb of the nomadic nomad girl,Explain that the silk has been really integrated into the lives of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang at this time。

Funeral custom as a relatively stable cultural factors,Generally, it is not easily affected by foreign cultures and changes。But,We found that the Western Regions of the Western Regions during the Han and Jin Dynasties,Although the funeral customs that have existed on the coffin and the deceased on the coffin and the deceased since the Bronze Age,But in the process of interacting with the Han people,Not only does it accept silk products produced in the mainland of the Central Plains,It also accepted the cultural meaning of silk in health and death to a certain extent。This can be seen,The nomadic people near Shichengzi are guaranteed on the basis of material life,Mental life is also increasingly rich。They are developing the economy、At the same time as improving your social productivity,Not only retains the spiritual and cultural characteristics of the nation,also accepted the Central Plains Culture to a certain extent。As writer Mo Yan said,The Silk Road is not just the road of politics、Road to Trade,And the road to common integration of human culture,It is the road to understanding and communication of human emotions。From the archeological discovery of Shichengzi,East Tianshan's northern foot area of ​​farming and animal husbandry with silk as the medium has moved to a deeper level during the Eastern Han Dynasty。
