Reservoir flooding, accidentally rushing out of the millennium cultural relics, archaeologists: China's 2600-year history to be rewritten

We all know that Chinese culture has a long history, and the wisdom of the ancient working people will only be higher than that of modern people, not lower. They have produced many precious cultural relics, including Simu Peng Da Fangding, Yue Wang Gou Jian Sword, Ma Ta Fei Yan and so on.

With modern superb technology can not copy these cultural relics, the wisdom of the ancients can be imagined!

Fifty percent of these artifacts were taken from cemeteries by archaeologists, and the remaining fifty percent were redeemed from foreign countries.

In the 1970s, the tributaries along the Yangtze River opened their gates and discharged floodwaters, and due to the excessive amount of water, an ancient mausoleum was accidentally rushed out.

This ancient tomb, after being identified by experts, is considered to be the tomb of a "Ling Yin" in the Chu Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Ling Yin" was the highest official rank of the State of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, the highest official who mastered political affairs and issued orders, presided over state affairs internally, presided over wars externally, and took charge of military and political power in one, and his status was equivalent to that of prime minister.

Even more valuable are the items buried in the tomb of "Ling Yin". In this ancient tomb, experts found a special thing - the cloud pattern copper forbidden.

The cloud-patterned copper ban is mainly used for sacrifice and is a very valuable ceremonial vessel.

Its value lies precisely in the exquisite complexity of its craftsmanship. After carefully studying this moiré copper ban, experts found that the manufacture of it had traces of casting using the "lost wax method".

The tomb of the prime minister is not too large.

A tomb from 2,500 years ago covers an area of 100,000 square meters, equivalent to the size of 14 football fields! There are a total of 25 tombs in the tomb, and there are as many as 9 noble tombs alone.

A large number of funerary items from the Spring and Autumn period appeared in the tomb, and after the archaeological team counted, it was found that the funerary items reached as many as 6098 pieces.

After seeing the cloud-patterned copper ban, Chinese scholars sighed: "China's history must be rewritten!" "Previously, many foreigners thought that Chinese mastered the lost wax method should be a matter of the Song Dynasty, but the excavation of the cloud copper ban pushed forward the history of the Chinese lost wax method casting process by 1100 years, so it is not a lie to say that the cloud copper ban rewrites Chinese history."

If the time required for process development is taken into account, the application of the lost wax method in China may date back 3,000 years.

Because the mold of the copper ban is too large, the artifact cast by this model after the wax is dissolved becomes a "unique" design.

Every copper ban will become a limited edition. The thousand-year-old cloud-patterned copper ban is a national treasure-level cultural relic.

However, before this discovery, Americans had always claimed that the lost wax method was first invented in the United States, and even patented by the Austin laboratory in the United States. But the discovery of this cloud-patterned copper forbidden statue once again proves the wisdom of China's ancestors.
