introduction

History is not only a valuable part of knowledge, but it also opens doors to many other parts and provides material for many fields of science. - Hume (English) On The Study of History

China has a long history and culture, and the inheritance of thousands of years depends not only on the inclusiveness of culture, but more importantly, it is supported by the national spirit and perseverance of tens of millions of Chinese sons and daughters. Today's China is strong and can no longer be underestimated, just like a dragon that has been sleeping for a long time, and finally awakened. In just a few decades, we have still become an indispensable image of a big country in the world, and being a son and daughter of China is indeed the proudest thing in our lives.

With the progress of society, people's thinking and living standards have taken a qualitative leap, but there are still many people to explore the treasures left by their ancestors to future generations. After all, our Greater China has a thousand years of history, and each dynasty has a prosperous scene. If we want to get close to and understand the history of the past, we can only conduct research and exploration through some cultural heritage, etc. Each of their objects represents a reflection of the current situation of an era. Through today's high technology, people maintain and restore these historic cultural relics to make them more valuable.

Five thousand years of history have bred countless treasures

You know, there are many treasures handed down by the ancestors, which can still be preserved intact after years of baptism of wind and rain, and are also the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. We want to understand the things of the past, in addition to some historical records and the word of mouth of the old people, only these things are real, let us face history. So far, the origin of these cultural relics has been discovered by archaeologists by chance, and some have been saved from unscrupulous tomb robbers. Of course, there are also some that are discovered by ordinary villagers by accident and then reported to the state.

Most of these cultural relics are used as funerary products, buried in the ground with the owner of the tomb, but due to disrepair, the tomb has also been seriously damaged and damaged, which invisibly gives the cultural relics the opportunity to be born. Once, there was an old uncle who found a bronze turtle relic while fishing, which attracted the attention of many experts in the archaeological community for a time.

Fishing found a bronze turtle with 4 arrows stuck in its back

Lao Bo is a native of Henan, and after retirement, he often takes fishing as fun, and when he has nothing to do, he will use fishing to kill time. One day, as usual, he came to the river with a small bench to fish, but after fishing for a long time, the old man felt bad luck and planned to close the rod and go home. The moment I pulled up the rod, there was a sudden huge pressure, I thought I had caught a fish, but I didn't think about it, and after dragging it to the shore, I found that it was a bronze turtle covered in rust.

Seeing that he had been fishing for half a day, it was this thing, and the old man was not very happy in his heart. After carefully examining it, he cleaned the water and grass on the turtle, and after seeing the shape of the turtle, the old man was very strange. This bronze turtle is well-crafted and very realistic, and there are many rune-like fonts on it. What's more worth mentioning is that not only is the form very similar to the turtle, but the bronze turtle also has 4 swords evenly inserted on its back.

Such a strange turtle shape also made the old man scratch his head, but he also knew that this should be a valuable treasure. The old man, who did not have the heart to fish, put away his fishing rod and brought the thing home. As for whether it is the cultural relics he has in mind, the old man cannot be sure, and can only preserve this bronze turtle well. Later, taking this to the treasure hunting site to see, only to unlock the mystery of this turtle.

Bronze shrews from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, worth 1.8 billion

After careful examination, experts found that this is a bronze ware from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which is of great research value. The expert was pleasantly surprised and said directly to the old man: You fished 1.8 billion. Unexpectedly, the old man's hand was worth a lot. We also know that the turtle represents longevity, and this turtle also has 4 arrows inserted in it, and there are some inscriptions from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties on the back, which can be said to be a rare cultural relic in the archaeological community.

Of course, the old man has experienced many years of baptism, for fame and fortune this thing is also very weak, when he knows that this thing has great significance, he did not hesitate to hand over this bronze shrew to the state, this move is also to make the experts thank you one after another. As for why the elderly do not go to professional treasure hunting institutions to treasure, in fact, it is also because the fee is relatively high. The higher the value of the cultural relics, the degree of charging will naturally vary. The old man, who was not rich, did not want to spend too much money for this unexpected catch, which came to the scene of free treasure hunting.

This bronze shrew is full of historical vicissitudes, witnessing the rise and fall of one era after another, and its excavation has brought great help to the process of mainland research on bronze and ancient culture. As a witness to the history and culture of the mainland, it is enough to make us proud to appear thousands of years later.

Explore the meaning of artifacts

From ancient times to the present, due to the meaning of the longevity of the turtle, many dignitaries and dignitaries will use the image of the turtle to make crafts and give them to others as gifts. Today, the artifacts stored in museums are just the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more scattered around the world, waiting for us to discover. In ancient times, the higher the status of people, there were more and more funerary items, especially the emperor, more luxurious, the cemetery is a feng shui treasure of the thousands of miles.

As one of the four ancient civilizations, the culture inherited by the mainland is very extensive in the world. If everyone had such an ideological consciousness like this old man, I believe that our history and culture would rise by a large margin. History is the source of our human progress, and exploring cultural relics can give us a faster understanding of how much the bronze craft at that time had reached.

We cannot abandon history, after all, the spread of Chinese culture also needs these cultural relics with historical and cultural heritage. Among the many cultural relics on the mainland, only bronze is the most eye-catching. Now on the TV "Notes on the Tomb Robber" I believe that everyone is also very familiar, there will often appear some bronzes, in addition, the Shang Dynasty has a long history, it is difficult to have cultural relics excavated at that time, can occasionally find one, is still very scarce.
