        The mighty army formation in the dust

The appearance of the car was very early. It is said that when the Huangdi Emperor Xuanyuan was working in the field , the wind blew away the straw hat. Because the straw hat was round, it continuously rolled forward. This phenomenon inspired the emperor to build cars and invented wheels.After continuous improvement and improvement by future generations, it eventually evolved into a car.During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the use of cars has become very common, and car-making technology has been greatly improved. At the same time, a very important and special form of funeral emerged during this period-the funeral of vehicles and horses. From the 1950s to the early 1990s, large tombs of aristocrats of the Guo Kingdom were found in the area of Beishangcunling in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province. Not only have many beautiful cultural relics unearthed here, but also the eye-catching burial site of Chamakeng! This makes the world full of awe and imagination for Guo Guo 3000 years ago.   In the original state of the exhibition hall of the "Corse and Horses" of the Guoguo Museum, the ruins of the three burial chamaokeng, the monarch of the country, the wife of the monarch, and the prince of the country, were exhibited. The three chariots are arranged from south to north according to the marching queue. It created the precedent for the burial of the Israeli army in ancient my country and also constituted the earliest and largest underground chariot army in China. After the archaeological excavation work was completed, it intuitively showed us the custom of burial in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the underground world after the death of the Guo people.

In the middle is the funeral pit No.1. The chariot pit No. 1 is not only large in size, but also the tomb of the monarch was found not far from its west side, so experts speculate that it is the chariot burial pit for the monarch of Guo. The whole is rectangular, extending from north to south, with a total length of 47.6 meters, 4.16 meters at the widest point in the east and west, and 3.7 meters at the narrowest point. The northern half is a burial pit for horses and horses, and the southern half is a burial pit for horses. In addition to vehicles and horses damaged by modern tombs and modern gutters, a total of 13 carriages, 64 war horses, and 6 dogs were cleared. The entire No. 1 carriage pit is arranged from south to north, and the vehicle is located in the northern half of the pit. All vehicles are arranged in order, with the head facing north and the car facing south. The vehicles are placed in order from the center of the pit to the north. The front carriage is pressed against the rear cowl, and two horses are stacked under each car. The structure of the car is all wood, the surface is painted with black paint, and it is equipped with related bronze cars. The skulls of three horses were clearly visible in front of the first car. In addition, there was a horse pressed under the wheels, burying a total of four horses. According to the Zhou grading system, Zhou Tianzi uses six horses to drive, and the princes are one grade lower and use four horses to drive. This completely confirms the grade requirements of the history book that "princes drive four". The funeral car pits of the No. 2 monarch lady and the No. 3 prince of Guo Guo are located on the east and west sides of No. 1 pit. The number of funeral chariots and horses are not the same as the burial date, but they are consistent with the tomb owner's identity and burial date.    The Western Zhou Dynasty is an important period for the development of Chinese etiquette. During this period, the vehicle and horse use system was very strict, so from Zhou Tianzi to the princes according to their different identities, the structure of the car they ride, the number of horses, and the shape of the horse and horse There is a strict distinction between decoration and decoration. Not only was this true during his lifetime, but under the influence of the concept of "seeing death as life", the funeral after death also naturally followed this strict grading requirement, so a car and horse burial system was formed during this period. The excavation of the cha-chakeng group at the graveyard of Guoguo confirmed this historical fact and also demonstrated the powerful economic and military power of Guoguo.
