The body of Mrs. Xin Zhui found by Mawangdui is obviously horrible. Why do you say that she is lifelike?

This question is quite interesting. It is estimated that many people have a feeling that the photos of Mrs. Xin Zhui's body being found are not as amazing as described, but look shriveled and a little scary.

This perception matches this description very well. What else is there at first sight? The emperor's new clothes? The feeling. However, the body of Mrs. Xin Zhui is a discovery that shocked the academic circles, and the relevant reports will naturally be very rigorous, and it is not allowed to exaggerate the false description.

So why did it appear in the report? Vivid? What should we do in that case? Is there a deviation in our understanding? In fact, we are really a little biased, or a little subjective.

Take me for example. When Mrs Xin Zhui was discovered, it was already 2000 years ago. Although it is impossible to expect her to look like an ordinary person, she should have a bloody face and elastic skin. I thought it was a matter of course, but I just described the vividness in my impression intuitively.

Obviously, my idea is unrealistic. It's amazing to find a body with a history of 2,000 years without turning into a bone.

Before opening Mrs. Xin Zhui's grave, the researchers thought so, but after opening it, everyone was shocked. Because we are presented with a complete body, not only all parts of the body are sound and well preserved, but even the blood vessels are very smooth. However, the most amazing thing is that she takes good care of her hair, even her eyelashes.

Having said that, I can't help but emphasize the fact that she has existed for 2000 years. It's amazing that the body has been preserved for so long. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to describe her vividly.

Later, a miracle happened a few months after she was unearthed, that is, the workers found that her joints could still move flexibly. At that time, the workers clearly realized that it was of great significance to study the secret of her immortality.

At that time, why Mrs. Xin Zhui's body didn't rot became the focus of many people's attention. Moreover, after the news came out, it also caused a lot of influence internationally. In the 1970s, even a scientific and technological power like the United States wanted to exchange the scientific and technological achievements of its own country for the hair on the corpse.

So I can also see her importance. So the most important question is, what is the truth about why she has not rotted for thousands of years? Is it the role of the environment or is there any magical secret recipe?

According to the later investigation results, we can know that the reasons can be divided into two parts. To put it simply, one is that the tomb is located deep underground, and the special underground environment has made great efforts to prevent corrosion. Another reason is that the seal inside the tomb is quite good.

The geographical environment of Hunan where the ancient tomb was discovered is unique. Underground soil has three characteristics, namely constant temperature, constant pressure and constant humidity. In addition, charcoal, white paste and other materials are used as sealing materials around the body, effectively isolating oxygen. The combination of special soil quality and fine material selection has created such a miracle for two thousand years.

Besides, another reason that makes Mrs. Xin Zhui look lifelike is that her appearance has been restored. Now there is a statue of her original appearance restored by scientific and technological means in the museum.

Friends who have seen the photos or seen them face to face can see that she is beautiful, generous and dignified after recovery. Although not a great beauty, but also very temperament. It is this appearance that is more vivid in the impression of some friends, so it is more acceptable to everyone.

In any case, she is a valuable discovery for our country. From a scientific point of view, the secret of her body may greatly promote our present storage and anti-corrosion technology.

From a historical point of view, she gave us a deeper understanding of the history two thousand years ago, and also enhanced our national cultural confidence. But no matter from which angle, we can find her unique value.
