Rare Treasure of the Sad Prince: Prince Dan left a bronze artifact that drove archaeologists crazy

What is a tragedy? The so-called tragedy is to destroy the most beautiful things for others to see. It was one day in 226 B.C., when a man who loved the country was killed, and he was Prince Dan.

You like your father very much, but he doesn't value you, puts you in a foreign country, and finally kills you in order to please other countries.

You like your friends very much, you have been hostages in zhao guo together, and you have tasted the hardships of life. However, when you meet him again, there is no surprise in his eyes, but the coldness and ruthlessness of the emperor.

You love your country so much that you even use assassins to assassinate at all costs. However, these assassins eventually failed, leaving you with only the word tragic.

In later generations, some people portray you as a jealous and narrow-minded villain; some people think that you are ambitious and talented, and you are eager to achieve quick success, which harms the whole country; some people portray you as a mo family giant, and it seems that you have a lot more ability at once. In people's minds, you have always been just a historical figure, but you have not seen what you cherish most, that is, dignity.

If it were not for your own dignity, you would not have suddenly turned against the victorious government; if it were not for the dignity of the country, you would not have finally staged the most tragic scene in history: Jing Ke stabbed Qin.

In 2011, the advent of the bronze cockroach-patterned lid pot unveiled many historical mysteries. According to archaeologists, this treasure has a great relationship with Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom. Because of this treasure, only the nobles of the Yan Kingdom could enjoy it.

The body of more than 40 centimeters tall, the beautiful lines, and the decoration of the four small dragons seem to constantly tell us that the prince Dan in his mind looks weak and small, but always has the heart to resist the country and dignity.

What kind of country is the Yan Kingdom? We don't know, but archaeologists have solved the answer for us. The Ancient Tombs of the Warring States of Jianchangdong Dacangzi unveiled the mystery of the Yan Kingdom during the Warring States period.

Tomb M40 is a typical Warring States period burial chamber. The plastered clay on the coffin, the jade mat symbolizing identity, and the head compartment filled with bronze painted pottery vessels all reveal the last glory of the Yan kingdom during the Warring States period. The bronze short sword and ring head knife studded with treasures filled the Yan Kingdom with iron blood marks.

Cattle, horses, pigs, dogs, sheep, are five different kinds of livestock, in china's Spring and Autumn Warring States period, mainly used for sacrifice, especially cattle, is the main sacrifice of the prince. Because traditional Han Chinese generally use three animals, archaeologists speculate that the owner of the M40 is an ethnic minority leader. If the five animals symbolize the owner's preservation of his own national cultural characteristics, then bronze vessels such as bronze cockroach pattern lid pots symbolize the ethnic minority leader's sincerity in learning culture from the Han people.

Who said that archaeology in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period could not be passed? Doesn't the bronze cockroach-patterned lid pot prove that the nobles of the Yan Kingdom had already begun to communicate and communicate with other ethnic minorities long before Qin Kai and Hu?

Small mountain villages, small deserted tombs, and small countries carry the culture of the Hu and Han families, and they are also telling a tragedy. A prince who carries the different ethnic cultures of Hu and Han, because he cannot resist the wheel of the times, finally only two crown tombs are left, and the treasure no longer belongs to himself.

In the thousand-year rotation, the treasures are still in the group of tombs that have preserved the treasures of Prince Dan, but the owners of the tombs have almost no bones. Just like that poem, the Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shi Huang was not seen in that year.
