The long history and the short life span of people form a contradiction, making it difficult for people to see the whole picture of history and explain some things clearly.
The pyramids of Egypt in foreign countries, the history of the Maya in South America, the vanished continent of Atlantis, etc., one after another, let people feel their own smallness.
As a special existence on the earth, China has an important position in the history of human civilization, and the cultural relics unearthed one by one all show the glory that the Chinese land once had, as well as the human wisdom in this land.
So, what are some of the more bizarre excavated cultural relics in China? In fact, there are a lot of them, so let's pick three things to talk about.
1. Headless bronze figure.
This unearthed cultural relic, at a glance, makes people not only feel strange, but also emit fear in their hearts. What kind of object is this?
This object was excavated at the Jinsha site in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and is currently preserved in the Jinsha Site Museum, and according to experts, the formation time of this object was from the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
One glance past, a copper man, no head. The arms are naturally drooping, there is no life force, and the legs are bent, as if they are no longer enough to support the life of the person concerned.
Yes, the head is gone, how to support?
For this bronze man, the relevant experts have discussed and agreed most to conclude that this was a human animal that was sacrificed at that time and was beheaded.
In that fainting era, it was not surprising that strange things appeared.
Just looking at this headless bronze figure makes people feel extremely strange, and many people will feel cold on their backs.
2. Wang Mang's vernier caliper.
This is too difficult to explain, more than 2,000 years ago, the foreign relative who usurped power, unexpectedly had unparalleled scientific and technological talent, invented the "vernier caliper", and even led the Western countries by more than a thousand years.
More than a thousand years after Wang Mang, the British invented the "caliper ruler", which looks relatively similar, but the British have developed only a carved caliper, on the accuracy, on the scope of use, the difference is too far.
In the nineteenth century, the Frenchman Jonier Beale invented the vernier caliper in the true sense.
The bronze caliper invented by Wang Mang, whether in appearance or method of use, is basically similar to the vernier caliper invented by Jonier Bill, and the difference is only that the material is different, and that's it.
Science has a gate, and invention is not easy. As a disciple of an official eunuch, Wang Mang was able to devote himself to invention, which was a miracle in itself. What is even more strange is that he was able to invent tools similar to those of more than a thousand years later, is this just a coincidence?
It was so bizarre that it was completely beyond the judgment of almost everyone.
Therefore, everyone said that Wang Mang was a crosser, but unfortunately he met Liu Xiu, the son of the face, otherwise, Wang Mang might have achieved great things.
3. Tang Dynasty beauties with fashion bags.
When you arrive at Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, you must take a look at the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Cave 17 "Near Affair Girl" mural, because this painting is different from others.
A dignified and plump beauty, holding a towel in one hand and a curved wooden stick in the other, with a solemn expression and small eyes, but a serious look ahead. What's ahead?
A crooked neck tree that is not tall, and a very fashionable women's bag hangs from the branch.
Judging from the attire of this girl, she is the so-called "close affair woman", that is, a woman who has received the five precepts at home to worship the Buddha.
What are the Five Precepts? One does not kill, the second does not steal, the third does not commit adultery, the fourth does not speak in vain, and the fifth does not drink alcohol.
Such a precept is a kind of torture for any young woman. The girl looked at the bag, no smile, but very focused, what does it mean? She longs for earthly life, loves beautiful bags, loves all things that are fashionable and beautiful.
Weird: Where did this bag come from? Why is it basically the same as the fashion women's bag of modern people? Is it impossible to cross again?
Perhaps, we have faced the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and recognized the red and green lights at that time, but we still underestimated the fashion at that time.
From ancient times to the present, there are many strange cultural relics unearthed, in addition to the three mentioned above, what are the Warring States crystal cups, cloud pattern five-pillar vessels,
Copper galloping horses and so on, limited in space, only introduce the above three most representative.
