Archaeologists in central China’s Henan Province on Tuesday poured liquid
out of a bronze pot unearthed from a Western Han Dynasty (202 BC to AD 8) tomb
into a measuring glass, which gave off an aroma of rich wine.
周二，中国中部河南省的考古学家们从一个出土于西汉(公元前202年至公元8年)古墓的铜壶中倒出液体到一个量杯里，杯中散发出浓郁的酒香。
"There are 3.5 liters of the liquid in the color of transparent yellow. It
smells like wine," said Shi Jiazhen, head of the Institute of Cultural Relics
and Archaeology in the city of Luoyang.
“大约有3.5L的呈透明黄色的液体，闻起来像酒，”洛阳市文物考古研究所所长史家珍告诉新华社记者。
He said the discovered content needs to undergo further lab research so the
team can accurately ascertain the ingredients of the liquid.
他说，发现的液体需要进一步的实验室研究，这样研究团队才能准确的确认液体的成分。
A large number of color-painted clay pots and bronze artifacts were also
unearthed from the tomb, which covers 210 square meters. The remains of the tomb
occupant have been preserved, said Shi.
他说，这座占地210平方米的古墓中还出土了大量彩绘陶罐和青铜器，墓主的遗体也保存完好。
He said they will conduct lab research on items found in the main tomb
chamber.
他表示研究人员将对主墓室内发现的物品进行实验室研究。
Similar-aged rice wine had earlier been found in other tombs dating back to
the Western Han period. Liquor made from rice or sorghum grains were a major
part of ceremonies and ritual sacrifices in ancient China. It was often
contained with elaborate bronze cast vessels.
在其他西汉时期的墓葬中也发现了类似年份的米酒。用大米或高粱酿制的酒是中国古代仪式和祭祀的主要部分。它经常盛在精致的青铜铸造容器里。
Shi said the bronze pot containing the liquid is one of the two big bronze
items unearthed from the tomb. The other is a lamp in the shape of a wild goose,
which was the first of its kind found in the city of Luoyang, capital of 13
dynasties, with a history of 3,000 years.
史介绍，这个装有酒样液体的青铜壶是从该古墓中出土的两件大型青铜物品之一。另一件是一盏雁形灯，这是在洛阳发现的第一盏雁形灯。洛阳是中国13朝古都，有着3000多年的悠久历史。 |
