The night before yesterday, I called Miss Dai to ask how to get there. She said that I could use her car, but I needed Miss Dai to make a detour, which made Miss Dai work hard.
Yesterday morning, I went to the place where we met early. When I got up in the morning, the weather was not very good and it began to rain. Raindrops jumped from the air like thousands of paratroopers and landed safely on the ground. Sitting in the car, raindrops are connected together like a big net and hung in front of our eyes.
Later, we caught Mr. Xue on the road to triumph, and we returned to Luocang site.
We were the first to return to Luocang. After a while, everyone's cars arrived. Director Fan asked someone else's translator to explain it to us. Huiluocang was built in the first year of Sui Dynasty (605) and was destroyed by war at the end of Sui Dynasty. It was a large-scale national granary in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The site is located in Xiaoli Village and Ma Po, Chanhe District, 3.5 kilometers north of Miyagi City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, each granary could store 500,000 Jin of grain, and the whole granary city stored 355 million Jin of grain.
It's still raining, which is a different experience. We walked across the grass and cobblestone ground. When it rains, the leaves of all kinds of flowers and plants are condensed with glittering and translucent water drops. Small raindrops seem to be accompanied by a small dance music.
Luo Huicang City: It consists of warehouse area, management area, roads and canals. 220 silos have been excavated, and it is estimated that there are about 7 10 silos in the whole warehouse city, which is the largest granary known in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The length from east to west is 1000m, and the width from north to south is 355m, which is equivalent to 50 standard football fields. There are about 700 silos in the east-west and north-south rows, which are huge in scale and magnificent in momentum. Silos are basically the same size. Silo mouth inner diameter10m, outer diameter17m and depth10m. Each silo can store 500,000 Jin of grain, and the whole silo city can store 355 million Jin of grain.
It is very important to store a lot of food for a long time. The cellars of Huiluocang are all underground, with big mouths and a small cylinder at the bottom. In order to achieve the purpose of waterproof and moisture-proof, the walls of silos have been carefully treated: first baked with fire, then covered with a layer of green paste and mud, and then covered with wooden boards and reed mats ... This shows that grain storage technology was developed in the Sui Dynasty.
After the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty learned from the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty and built a granary in the city. On the basis of the Sui Dynasty, the grain storage capacity of Jiacang in Luoyang City was increased to ensure the grain demand of the eastern capital. Luo Hui warehouse was abandoned and only existed for more than 65,438+00 years. After Huiluocang was abandoned, its location and area were gradually forgotten.
Huiluocang and Hanjiacang, as important supporting projects of the Grand Canal, were listed on the World Heritage List in June 20 14.
Emperor eats Luoyang: During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang, as the eastern capital, was one of the best in the world, with convenient water transportation, and became a gathering place for grain and grass materials in the whole north. However, due to the population growth in Chang 'an, the Guanzhong Plain is no longer able to withstand the increasing population pressure. In case of famine, the emperor would lead officials to eat Luoyang, so he was nicknamed "the Emperor of Grains".
Archaeologists concluded that the cellar was not artificially backfilled after the warehouse was abandoned. After six or seven hundred years of rain erosion and siltation, these silos became flat in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.
Although it is empty, quiet and full of weeds, you can imagine how important Luocang was as a national granary in the Sui and Tang Dynasties more than 1,400 years ago. During the farming period, food was the lifeblood of the country, and the soldiers and horses did not move food and grass first.
Broken bricks engraved with the inscription "the first year of Daye" were unearthed in the cellar. Maybe people will remember the history of Luocang when they see it. Seeing these sites now, we have to marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.
