Who knows the anecdote of Xin Zhui in Han Dynasty?
Xin Zhui (2 17- 168), born in the fifth year of Qin Shihuang (2 17 BC), 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.

Li Cang participated in the peasant war in Qin and Han dynasties and the dispute between Chu and Han dynasties with Liu Bang, the great ancestor of Han Dynasty, and was promoted to Changsha Prime Minister at the beginning of Han Dynasty. Later, Li Cang died in Lv Hou in the second year (BC 186).

Two thousand years ago, in the Han Dynasty, the production capacity and scientific and technological level were far inferior to those in modern society. Without the excavation of Mawangdui Han Tomb, we would like to think that people's life in the Han Dynasty was crude.

However, Xin Zhui, the wife of Changsha Prime Minister Li Cang, a wise and strange girl, showed the world the exquisiteness and fashion of the Han people's life with carefully prepared funerary objects, enjoyed it in another world, and let the world appreciate the colorful Han civilization.

Extended data:

Mawangdui in Changsha has such a tomb. The owner of the grave is a lady. This is the famous Mrs Xin Zhui. This lady is very famous. She is famous not because of her high achievements, but because her body has not rotted after thousands of years.

What really made her meet the anti-corrosion requirements was the liquid in the coffin, which was infiltrated later. After inspection, the liquid contains anti-corrosive substances such as mercury sulfide, which is a long-term preservative.

From a scientific point of view, the environment under the corpse is a constant temperature, constant humidity, hypoxia and aseptic environment, which leads to the corpse not rotting.
