More than two thousand years later, the well-preserved female corpse in Mawangdui Han Tomb died because she ate a few more melons. Who is this female corpse? What is her life story? How can her body be kept for so long? Let me answer them one by one.

The woman's name is Xin Zhui. Let's take a look at Baidu Encyclopedia's explanation of Xin Zhui: Xin Zhui (2 17- 168 BC) was born in the fifth year of Qin Shihuang (2 17 BC). She is the wife of Changsha Prime Minister Li Cang and has a son Li Yi. He died in the 12th year of Emperor Wen (BC 168) at the age of 50. ?

Many very precious treasures were unearthed in Mawangdui Han Tomb. 1972, archaeologists found a female corpse that had been sleeping for more than 2000 years in Mawangdui Han Tomb. This body is the above-mentioned Mrs. Xin Zhui. However, to the surprise of some people in the place, this corpse that has been sleeping for more than 2,000 years is not corrupt. Mrs. Xin Zhui was in poor health all her life, suffering from various diseases, and her husband could barely maintain her health only if she often invited famous doctors to her home.

In BC 168, Mrs. Xin Zhui was chatting with guests, and the servants came in with melon seeds and melons, which were originally delicious food, but Mrs. Xin Zhui died before the doctor came because the melon seeds blocked her esophagus. Because she is the wife of the Prime Minister of Changsha, she was reburied. Archaeologists have given several conjectures as to why the body was well preserved for 2000 years. Coffins are deep, and some of them are very well sealed.

Moreover, due to Hunan's special geographical environment, there is an underground environment to preserve the body, and the coffin has an excellent sealing effect, which makes Mrs. Xin Zhui's body appear in our field of vision today in 2000.
