##两千年前的国宝级文物，只有48克？素纱襌衣首次公开亮相
来自两千多年前的国宝级文物，只有48克？这件轻薄如蝉翼的素纱襌衣，近日在湖南博物院“彼美人兮——两汉罗马时期女性文物展”上首次公开亮相，引发了广泛关注。
坊间一直流传着这件素纱襌衣在多年前的盗窃案中被烧毁的传言，因此湖南博物院仅展出了未失窃的直裾素纱襌衣，也就是大家从小在课本里看到的那件。而此次展出的，则是从未公开亮相过的曲裾素纱襌衣。
湖南博物院“在线辟谣”，曲裾素纱襌衣从未被盗，一直都在文物库房精心保存。自1972年出土于长沙马王堆1号墓以来，这是它首次与公众见面。
这件曲裾素纱襌衣，衣长160厘米，通袖长195厘米，重量却只有48克，比常年展出的直裾素纱襌衣还要轻薄。它采用的是一种名为“素纱”的特殊丝织物，经线和纬线都极细，织成后薄如蝉翼，轻若烟雾，堪称古代纺织技术的巅峰之作。
据了解，素纱襌衣的发现，得益于1971年冬，解放军366医院在马王堆的两个土包下挖防空洞时的一次意外。士兵们用钢钎向下探查时，一股呛人气流突然从被穿透的小洞里喷出，有人好奇地用火去点，气流即刻变成了蓝色火焰，燃烧几天未灭。
这起意外事件，揭开了马王堆汉墓的神秘面纱。经过勘查，1972年1月，湖南省博物馆正式开始马王堆汉墓的发掘工作，一场轰动世界的考古发现就此拉开序幕。
在长达两年的挖掘中，3000多件精美绝伦的珍贵文物陆续从三座墓葬出土，来自西汉长沙国丞相、第一代轪侯利苍一家人的鲜活生活碎片也呈现在大家面前：大量工艺繁复的漆器、织精绣美的丝织衣物、珍贵的简帛文献，如百科全书般展示着古人的智慧。
素纱襌衣的出现，不仅是古代纺织技术的杰作，更是一段历史的见证。它让我们看到了两千多年前，古人对美的追求和对生活的热爱，也让我们对中华文明的博大精深有了更深的理解。
此次曲裾素纱襌衣的首次公开亮相，无疑将成为文物界的一大盛事，也必将吸引更多人前来观赏，感受中华文明的魅力。

## A National Treasure from Two Thousand Years Ago, Weighing Only 48 Grams? The “Su ShaZen Yi” Makes its Public Debut
A national treasure from over two thousand years ago, weighing only 48 grams? This ethereal “Su Sha Zen Yi,” a silk garment as thin as a cicada’s wing, has recently made its public debut at the Hunan Provincial Museum’s “Beautiful Ladies: Women’s Artifacts from the Han and Roman Periods” exhibition, sparking widespread attention.
Rumors have long circulated about the “Su Sha Zen Yi” being destroyed in a theft years ago, leading the Hunan Provincial Museum to only display the unspoiled “Zhi Ju Su Sha Zen Yi,” the one commonly seen in textbooks.This exhibition, however, features the never-before-seen “Qu Ju Su Sha Zen Yi.”
The Hunan Provincial Museum has “officially debunked” the rumors, confirming that the “Qu Ju Su Sha Zen Yi” was never stolen and has been meticulously preserved in their artifact repository. Since its excavation from the Mawangdui Tomb No. 1 in Changsha in 1972, this is its first public appearance.
This “Qu Ju Su Sha Zen Yi” measures 160 centimeters in length and 195 centimeters in total sleeve length, yet weighs only 48 grams, making it evenlighter and thinner than the “Zhi Ju Su Sha Zen Yi” that has been on permanent display. It is crafted from a unique silk weave called “Su Sha,” with extremely fine warp and weft threads, resulting in a fabric as thin as a cicada’s wing and as light as smoke, a testament to thepinnacle of ancient textile technology.
The discovery of the “Su Sha Zen Yi” was a serendipitous event. In the winter of 1971, while constructing an air-raid shelter beneath two mounds at Mawangdui, soldiers from the 366th Army Hospital encountered an unexpected incident. As they probed downward with steel rods, a pungent blast of air suddenly erupted from the pierced hole. Curiosity led someone to light a match, igniting the air flow into a blue flame that burned for days.
This incident unveiled the mystery of the Mawangdui Han Dynasty tombs. Following an investigation, the HunanProvincial Museum officially commenced the excavation of the Mawangdui Han Dynasty tombs in January 1972, marking the beginning of a groundbreaking archaeological discovery.
Over two years of excavation unearthed over 3,000 exquisite and precious artifacts from the three tombs, revealing vivid glimpses into the lives of the Li Cangfamily, the first Marquis of Dai and Chancellor of the Changsha State during the Western Han Dynasty: intricate lacquerware, meticulously embroidered silk garments, and valuable bamboo slips and silk documents, showcasing the wisdom of the ancients like an encyclopedia.
The emergence of the “Su Sha Zen Yi” is not only a masterpiece ofancient textile technology but also a testament to history. It allows us to witness the pursuit of beauty and love for life among the ancients over two thousand years ago, deepening our understanding of the vastness and profundity of Chinese civilization.
The first public appearance of the “Qu Ju Su Sha Zen Yi” is undoubtedly amajor event in the world of artifacts, sure to attract countless visitors eager to experience the allure of Chinese civilization.
