考古专家发掘巫山高唐观遗址 埋藏数十座古墓葬|巫山|高唐|遗址_新闻资讯
原标题：巫山神女就诞生在这里？
高唐观建筑遗址，工作人员正在清理墓葬。 这是一片三面环山一面临水的江边台地，祖祖辈辈在这里生活的人们可能还不知道：他们脚下的这片台地就是巫山神女的诞生地；同时，在这片土地之下，还埋藏着数十座从商代到明清时期的墓葬。
昨日，作为我市文化遗产宣传月的重磅活动之一，市文化遗产研究院考古专家来到正在发掘中的巫山高唐观遗址。
宋玉笔下的巫山神女在哪里？
战国时期，楚国宋玉在《高唐赋》中写道：“楚襄王与宋玉游于云楼之台……玉曰：昔者先王尝游高唐，怠而昼寝，梦见一妇人曰：妾巫山之女也，为高唐之客，闻君 游高唐，愿荐枕席。王因而幸之。去而辞曰：妾在巫山之阳，高丘之阻，旦为朝云，暮为行雨，朝朝暮暮，阳台之下。”专家说，巫山神女第一次出现就是这首赋， 而“阳台”极有可能就在这块土地上。据《巫山县志》载：“城西北半里许，山名高都，为阳台故址，旧有古高唐观。”相传楚怀王与巫山神女幽会于此。
古今大量史料都将这个在宋玉笔下如梦如幻的所在，指向了高唐观。在考古工作者眼中，高唐观是最有可能找到楚阳台遗址的地方，但它究竟在哪里，至今还不得而知。
虽然“阳台”遗址还没找到，但考古工作者还是发现了高唐观残留的遗址。专家说，相传高唐观建于尧皇时代，据《入蜀记》（宋·陆游）、《夔州府志》、《巫山县志》等文献记载，其始建于战国，是长江三峡中最古老的名刹之一，有2000多年悠久历史。
考古发掘现场负责人说，根据出土纪年石刻及文献记载，明洪武二年，因住庙道士年老体衰，不能主持庙务，由心瑞和尚接管，改观为寺，又称高唐寺，既供佛又敬道，因而成了佛道合一的寺观，以后在明万历、清乾隆到光绪年间均有不同程度的兴建或改扩建。未来这里可能建遗址公园。
战国墓里八尺男儿为何扭曲
考古工作者还在这里发现了从商代绵延到明清时期的68座墓葬，而在这些墓葬中，有一座战国墓，主人的骨骸保留至今。而且这具骨骸还给考古专家留下诸多疑问：因为骨骸的整个身姿从手到脚都是扭曲状态。
专家说，这只能留待进一步的发掘，或者是在发掘结束后的研究工作中揭开谜底。经过测量，考古工作者得知骨骸长度超过了1.7米，专家说，这就说明，这位墓主人的真实身高应该超过1.8米。
1.8米的身高，在遥远的古代极为少见，在古代文献中，人们常用“七尺男儿”来形容男子，而按照古代一尺相当于现代22～23cm进行换算，那时成年男人平均身高154~162cm，而古文中形容一个人身材伟岸，习惯性用所谓“身高八尺”，也就是176~185cm。因此，这具骨骸的主人在古代那就是“身高八尺”了。
