Welcome to the Self-talking President According to the legend The ancient China was a world of Taoism It probably looks like what remained in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" After that Huangdi, Jiang Ziya Lao Tzu, Zhuang Tzu, Yang Zhuzi, Liezi and Huai Nanzi These famous characters came to the reality from the legend This had become a tradition later Taoist priests appear in the troubled times and disappear in the flourishing age Therefore It had been difficult for us to lookk clearly at the truth of Taoism Luckily, in 1971 An ancient tomb has been dug opened and there was a Taoism treasury in it which includes the lost technology the lost thoughts and the lost knowledge (posture) So let's talk about the ancient tomb today Let's talk about the truth of Taoism that has been dug out 1971 Back to 50 years ago A madman said that he has been stargazing in these few nights and found that there will be an thousand-year ancient tomb dug out in Changsha City soon Soon after there was wildfire appeared in the underground of Changsha City as expected On that day, a blue flame burst out to half a meter height from a fallout shelter that has been excavating An officer said that "Don't believe in those feudal superstition, it must be a munitions depot down there." which might be left in the 40s when the Battle of Changsha was going on." When they are going to keep digging a museum curator arrived to the site and he said that there were many ancient tomb found in Changsha City The city has been a location where various tomb theives gather So the madman might really know some information The museum curator also said that this kind of fire-spitting phenomenon has been recorded in the "Yueyang Antiquities Chronicle" According to the book During the Yuan Dynasty a group of kiln worker robbed a grave Suddenly, the hole squeaked And it followed by a wildfire that burst out for a distance of 5 feets (16m) The hole had instantly become a fire pit and the kiln workers were all dead in the fire That kind of fire pit tomb has extinct after Yuan Dynasty that none of the modern archaeologists has seen it before 20 years ago Mr Xia Nai has done a research in that place And he said that it was a Han tomb under the ground So it seems the ancient tomb was more that 2000 years old and the air in it was suprisingly didn't leak Now the ancient tomb has already leaking it should be excavated as soon as possible As soon as the news about the excavation of the ancient tomb spreaded out The madman danced for joy all around Changsha City He called out the people to help in the excavation of this ancient tomb Mawangdui This ancient tomb was exactly the Changsha Mawangdui A movement was taking place in China at the time that the country was lack of man power, financial resources and materials It couldn't even organize an average archaeological team The cultural relics protecton awarness among the people was very weak Those who helped at the construction site were exactly the tomb thieves who have been digging holes in the areas surrounding Changsha City After that All of the things that were dug out from the ancient tomb could be known as the miracle of the world There was a thousand-year-old undecomposed women corpse which was lifelike at the moment when it was dug out just like a living person The appearance now is the result after it has been oxidised after it was dugged out There was a lacquer box that contained lotus root soup of more that 2000 years old When it was opened the lotus root slices were suspending in the soup But just after the photo was taken the slices of lotus root decomposed into mud water There were lacquers that has been buried for more that 2000 years under the ground and they look new until today There were two garment of plain silk gauze which can be put into a matchbox when they were folded There were various things other than that These are all the lost Taoism technology that can't be imitated using the modern technology After that, the research showed that there were three tombs in total included in the Mawangdui The tallest, largest and the most luxurious one was called "Xin Zhui Tomb" Xin Zhui was the thousand-year-old undecomposed granny The smallest, shortest and the most shabby one was the "Li Chang Tomb" Li Chang was the Taoism master who helped Liu Bang to win the war against Xiang Yu Xin Zhui was one of his concubine And the middle one was the tomb of Li Chang's son Surname Li was one of the most authentic Taoist surname According to the record in "Lu Shi" Lao Tzu has the surname of Li he was called "Li Zhen" This surname evolved into Surname Lee and Surname Li Next let's look at the lost technology that has been dug out specifically Lost Tech No1: The Garment of Plain Silk Gauze In the 80s The top textile research institude of China (Nanjing Brocade Institude) has received a mission to imitate a plain silk cloth The imitated product was heavy and thick It weighed 260g while the original product was only 49g The institude was ashamed They researched and found that the material was different The silk that was used in the original was spinned by the Trimolter silkworm in the Han Dynasty It was extremely fine While the modern silkworms were all tetramolter silkworms that spin a thicker silk That the reason they failed Therefore they spent ten years of time to do research and cultivated the trimolter silkworms The silkworms spinned fine silk And then, in 1998 the institude has finally imitated a plain silk gauze that weighted 49.5g But why they don't try to regain their pride from the 0.5g after 1998 It was because the original came with sleeves and collar So if the sleeves and collar were not counted in it should only be 24g There was really no solution for this It seemed that except for that trimolter silkworms there must be some kind of lost textile technology used to make the original product in order to make it light, thin, and sexy The Taoism people were very particular about having fun The profesionals said that these two plain silk clothes might be the two favourite sexy lingerie which belonged to Mrs Xin Zhui when she was alive Now A plain silk cloth has a valuation of 300 million US Dollars and it was one of the top cultural relics that was prohibited from leaving the country There were two pieces of them when them were dug out The other one was lighter it was 48g But in 1983 it was stollen by a stupid theif The theif burned it into dust and flushed it into the sewer Lost Tech No2: Anti-corrosion Tomb Changsha has been a city that has many wetlands The lands were very moist If we bury a steel bar under the ground It will be rusted after less than 3 months But The Xin Zhui Tomb has been buried under the ground for more than 2000 years and it was suprisingly not rotten It was buried in 165 BC and dug out in 1971 AD It was a total of 2136 years There was even flammable gas in the burial chamber In other words, in this 2136 years Almost no any water molecule has entered the tomb This anti-corrosion technology is made up of a three-layered structure from the view of modern technology The first layer is 1 meter of green paste It is similar to asphalt and has good water resistance The second layer is half a meter of graphite carbon It is similar to bamboo chorcoal and has good moisture absorbtion The third layer is flammable gas It is used to isolate water molecules and prevent the tomb from being robbed If the flame that was spitted from the gas was not seen by many people in 1971 Maybe only few people will believe that the ancient people could keep the gas in the burial chamber for more than 2000 years It was unfortunate that the archaeologists didn't have enaugh time to collect more bottles of gas before it flowed away at the time Even if the modern technology and materials are used to imitate this three-layered structure the professionals couldn't promise that it can preserve for 2000 years The lacquer boxes that have been dug out from this anti-corrosion tomb were like just created yesterday They were very shiny It is said that they were displayed to the public in the 80s and many foreign guests doubted that they were fabrications made by the museum They couldn't believe that the 2000-years-old crafts look so shiny The more amazing thing is that the lotus root soup in the lacqoer box The slices of lotus root couldn't still be seen at the moment when it was dug out This bowl of lotus root soup illustrated two facts Firstly, Changsha was really a good place that at least in this period of more that 2000 years no any serius earthquake has happened because if it happened, the lotus root soup will be spilled out Secondly, since the time before the era of Liu Bang China have trade relations with India because lotus root was a plant that was originated in India Lost Tech No3: Undecomposed Woman Corpse This woman corpse was more amazing than the anti-corrosion technology The forensics claimed that according to the degree of decoy It was like just died two weeks ago Those who have taken part in openning the coffin said that when the inner corpse was just dug out there was a new bamboo mat on top of it It was bright yellow colour There was a Chinese character "home" written on it and it was like that ink was not completely dried up yet The lacquer painting on the coffin was also very shiny There were layers of painting gold lacquer for the drawing black lacquer for the background red lacquer for the lines and blue lacquer for the sides It was really beautiful When the coffin was openned until the last layer a reporter from Xinhua News Agency arrived to the site He stood on the coffin and said "Please don't really a person alive under this" After that thanks to the reporter otherwise the woman corpse was almost cremated as it was treated as feudal superstition in that time The specific story was like this At the archaeologists' strong request the final layer of the inner coffin has been moved into the museum The excavation process has been done outdoor before this and there wasn't any protections that various antique has deteriorated as soon as they were dug out This time they decided to have a good preperation before they open the coffin indoor But one night they suddenly received a notification that the provincial leader will be visiting on the next day so they must open it that night Therefore the workers openned the coffin in a rush They found that there was brown liquid in the coffin and the woman corpse was wrapped in a few layers of silk clothes The worker thought that the liquid was corpse water in the time They didn't realize that it could be the anti-corrotion potion that the ancient people pour into the coffin on purpose they drained it after collecting only two small bottle of it Subsequently, they slice openned the silk colthes using a scalpel and uncover it layer by layer After 4 to 5cm someone has touched a flexible muscle They uncover the last silk cloth and it was the face of the woman corpse A few days after the leader visited the museum have received a notification that order them to cremate the woman corpse The museum curator immediately fought back and said that this was not the central red-letter-titled official document He refused the cremation At the same time Premier Zhou has read the internal reference of the reporter the museum then received a call (from the State Council office) that order them to preserve it well But as the technology in that time was not good enaugh they could only use the rough methods used in the medical school such as soaking it in the formalin to preserve it This caused the woman corpse that we can see today was completely different from the how it looks when it was just dug out After that the professionals dissected the woman corpse Her inner organs, brain, and body tissue was suprissingly not rotten It was really amazing At the same time, the professionals also admitted that there was no solution for the anti-corrotion technology of the woman corpse Next the things that has been dug out from the tomb of Li Chang's son was more astonishing than the lost technology It was the lost Taoism thoughts Lost Idea No1: The Four Classics of Huangdi After Huangdi defeated Chiwu how could he tame Sanmiao and Jiuli and rule the world In this period of more that 2000 years the scholars said that Huangdi governed by doing nothing that goes against the nature and he performed his duty as a father while his ministers performed their duties as his sons But after this "Four Classics of Huangdi" has been dug out everyone stunned According to the book Huangdi has a minister called Li Hei and a teacher called Taishan Zhiji Taishan Zhiji told Li Hei that Huangdi has encountered Chiwu in the war He catched Chiwu alive And then, he peeled Chiwu's skin off to make a target for archery He let the people to shoot at it and awarded those who hit the target the most He made a flag using Chiwu's hair and head He raised it high until it can be seen by everyone He filled Chiwu's stomach with straw and made a Cuju with it He organized a football match for the people and awarded those who performed well He minced Chiwu's meat and mixed it into the chives to be distributed to Chiwu's subordinates He ordered to prohibit anyone who infringe the law anyone who didn't eat the chives that distributed to him anyone who disrupt the people's mind and anyone who defy his thoughts Those who drained the chives secretly legislates without authorization disrupt the people's mind defy the thoughts or mobilize the army will be treated as how Chiwu had Taishan Zhiji continued This is called "Chaos Normalizing" Chiwu was treated like that because he was too brutal when before his dead It's like the full moon must begin waning Huangdi's acts have followed the Taoism rule How Chiwu have become "full" he must be wane in the same way After that Li Hei passed this idea to Huangdi's grandson, Gao Yang It is said that "The Four Classic of Huangdi" was a book that compiled by Huangdi himself He dared to face what he had done without hiding anything There were many lost ancient books dug out from Mawangdui It was 120 thousand words in total and it was 42 books when they were sorted out They have been compiled into seven books now Lost Idea No2: Te Tao Ching What we read in the "Lao Tzu's 5000 Words" was "Tao Te Ching" "Tao" is in front of "Te" The one that has been dug out was "Te Tao Ching" "Te" is in front of "Tao" "Te" means a person's meditation "Tao" means the laws of nature Althought it was only the difference in order but the thoughts in it was reallt a large difference Let's have some examples Our book said "Grand talents mature slowly" The silk manuscript in Mawangdui said that "Grand talents would never mature" It seemed like Lao Tzu's original intention has no any relation to the "chicken soup for the soul" things such as "Blessings are accumulated result of good deeds" in other words, just go with the flow If you are a talented person don't need to do any good deeds nor receive any blessings from other people Our book said that "To be part is to be whole, To be bent is to be straight" The silk manuscript said that "To be part is to be whole, to be bent is to be fixed" It seemed to be like this Lao Tzu didn't want us to be aggrieved to be whole he wanted us to be dare to face Our booj said that "Giving out good method, talking about good belief" The silk mauscript said that "Giving out good belief" When we read "Zhunagzi", we found that He hated "Benevolence" the most He claimed that Benevolence was a bullshit It was the statement that the saints used to cheat people and hide the great principles But according to our "Tao Te Ching" Why Lao Tzu said that "Giving out good method, talking about good belief" we can't understand this in this period of more tahn 2000 years reading the book And after the silk manuscript has been dug out, we have finally understood that Lao Tzu has originally said "Giving out good belief" only The meaning of the whole sentence seems to have no relations with Benevolence Lost Idea No3: Five Star Horoscope There have been some astronomy books among the silk manuscripts According to this book that have been compiled by a French scientist There are two books in it which is "Five Star Horoscope" and "Astronomical Miscellaneous" It is literally an astronomy book that has travelled the time and space In the "FIve Star Horoscopre", it has recorded the planatary movement of the five planets Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Mrecery When it is compared to today's status there is only a slight difference of 0.43 days in the 580 days In "Astronomical Miscellaneous" it recorded the name, cycle, and the appearance of 29 comets in detailed If we conduct statistics and observe these comets using the modern methods it will cost us at least 600 years Then how could the ancient people observe it and record it The more scary thing is when we compare the appearance of the comet that have been observed by the modern scientists using the telescope with thise pictures on the silk manuscript They are very similar If such thing happened in Maya, which is at the same time it defenitely become a strong evidence of ancient aliens There was also a T-shaped silk manuscript found in the Xin Zhui coffin the content was about the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Human It was similar to the picture that illustrates the Maya K'inich Janaah Paka who was flying a rocket When it came to this section the French said in the book "According to the astronomical records, the history of the Chinese is definitely longer than 5000 years" Actually there was a bigger suprise that is, the content that we could understand in the "Five Star Horoscope" and the "Astronomical Miscellaneous" was only a few We can only understand the contents such as the planetary movement But the main content of the two books is Astrology In the reality the method to predict the future by watching the night sky has been lost for a long time The Lost Posture: The Skills in The Room The was a book called "He Yinyang" among the silk manuscripts It described 10 postures Stealth quietly and wander slowly like a tiger It tells you the importance of foreplay and fun Ten fingers deep into the skin like a cicada Imagine it by yourself Squirm the body like a caterpillar Touch the parts that look like the sharp corners of a barn Stretch the body like a grasshopper Posture of the apes the toads the mouth of fish Okay I can't continue to say it imagine it by yousself These content were not just picture description There was a great principle behind all of them Among the silk manuscripts, there was also a book called "Dialogs about the Principles of the World" It is the Dialog of Hunagdi It turned the descriptions above into a high degree in the mystery Look, I am still embarrassed to talk about these lost knowledge with you until today But the ancient Taoism were adhering to the spirit of scientific research strictly and researching the "principle of the world" deeply This result in the content of these sections were hidden until more than 30 years later when the Japanese be the first to publish it on the International Journal Okay, that's all for today's story Thank you Lastly Madam said Mawangdui is the truth of Taoism Then the truth of which world will be dug out from the San Xing Dui
