Barbecue, fine wine and delicacies, the top-notch life of Lady Xin Zhui in Hunan Province

Hunan Provincial Museum has always been popular, it's hard to make a reservation, especially during holidays It can be said that Lady Xin Zhui alone supports the entire museum Before you go, you can learn some background, and after you go, remember to listen to the explanation ‼️Mawangdui: the family tomb of Li Cang, the prime minister and wheel marquis of Changsha Kingdom in the early Western Han Dynasty 💡Mawangdui Tomb No.2: Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha Kingdom *Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty and sealed six kings of different surnames, among which Prime Minister Li Cang was one 💡Mawangdui Tomb No.1: The wife of Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha Kingdom, Lady Xin Zhui, 50 years old 💡Mawangdui Tomb No.3: Li Xun, the son of Lady Xin Zhui, in his 30s 👩Lady Xin Zhui (217 BC - 168 BC) Her body was 154 cm tall and weighed 34 kg She loved to eat meat, drink alcohol, and eat all kinds of melons, fruits, wine, rice... She suffered from gallstones, coronary heart disease, systemic arteriosclerosis, and a history of bloodsucking and other diseases during her lifetime😅After the autopsy, it was found that she had eaten 138 melon seeds, which was too much This caused the gallbladder to push the stone into the duodenum, inducing coronary heart disease, and she died... 📚Historical legend Since there is no record of Xin Zhui's identity in the history books, historians can only guess that she was the wife of Changsha's prime minister Li Cang. Judging from the depth of Xin Zhui's tomb, her rank is even higher than that of the prince, indicating that her identity is extraordinary; such a high-ranking person is not recorded in the history books, which also shows that her identity is very special. At the same time, the "Historical Records" found that the entire book only has one sentence about the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, experts speculate that Xin Zhui is the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, but for some reasons, her identity could not be made public at that time. ❤️Highlights of Lady Xin Zhui Lotus root soup (unfortunately due to poor protection leading to oxidation, there are pictures on site) Gauze clothes (as thin as cicada wings, weighing less than 1 liang, modern technology can't do it) Lacquer ear cup (there are four kinds of "wine" in the "wine cabinet", namely white wine, rice wine, warm wine, rib wine, you can see the three words "Jun Xing Jiu" on the wine cup) Painted coffin (complex and varied cloud patterns and various gods, monsters and beasts) Mummy of Lady Xin Zhui (you can see it very clearly, but you can't take pictures)
