In the Spring of the Year of the Tiger, the cultural relics of Luoyang Museum appeared on CCTV's first cultural creation program that spanned thousands of years and traced back to the Chinese New Year customs - "Ancient Rhymes and New Year", leading the audience to find the millennium inheritance of New Year customs from cultural relics, and to find the "roots" and "souls" that Chinese celebrate the New Year.
This artifact is a Gilded Bronze Feather Man of the Eastern Han Dynasty, now in the Treasure Hall of the Luoyang Museum, which was excavated in 1987 at the Han Tomb on the eastern outskirts of Luoyang. Luo Bao Rong Media reporter learned from the Luoyang Museum that Yu Ren tong is 15.5 cm tall, wears a face ornament, has a high nose and deep eyes, convex cheeks and wide ears; has long horned hair on the top of the head, and wings on the shoulders; kneels on both knees, holding square and round pipe holders in both hands, vivid shape, gilded throughout, and exquisite craftsmanship. In the program, Ren Wanping, vice president of the Palace Museum, said that the image of Yuren carries the imagination of the ancients for the vast starry sky.
"In the Han Dynasty, people also referred to the Yu people as immortals or real people, a kind of god who inhabited the mountains and could soar, so its image was mysterious." Li Wenchu, director of the Luoyang Museum, said that the appearance of the gilded bronze feather people is related to the religious idea of "feathering and ascending immortals" fantasized by the feudal ruling class of the Han Dynasty, and they showed a colorful fantasy world by making feather image artifacts, showing the extraordinary imagination of the Han people.
Yuren wraps his hands around him and holds a hollow box and a conjoined insert of a cylinder. So, what exactly does this box represent?
The Han Le Fu folk song "Long Song Line" says: "Immortals ride white deer, and their hair is short and their ears are long!" Guide me to Taihua, Lanzhi won the red building. Come to the master's door and offer a jade chest of medicine. The master took this medicine, and the body was healthy and strong. White and black, long life. "This shows that people at that time fantasized that they could spread their wings like birds and fly into wonderland." According to this, some experts speculate that the copper feather human ear is higher than the top, which coincides with the image of the immortal in the Han poem, and the utensils held in both hands should be the medicine box, and the medicine is about a kind of "elixir elixir" that can make people immortal.
