"Dragon Shift" Han Yu: The black dragon moves in the dark, and the thunder and lightning stimulate the male and female to follow
Many cultural relics are often found unexpectedly, the news of cultural relics found when building roads is not uncommon, and today we want to talk about a thing about Heilongjiang, there is a farmer in Heilongjiang who picked up an iron knot, every night on the night strange screaming non-stop, experts after research and investigation, called "China's first dragon", what is this? How did this peasant pick up this "First Dragon of China"? And listen to me.
The story takes place in 1956, there is a farmer in Heilongjiang, want to build a vegetable cellar for his family, but the question is, his family is poor, where do the bricks and tiles come from? Just when he had a headache, he suddenly thought that there was an old city wall in the south of the city, which had not been managed for a long time and had collapsed. It is better to go to the city wall and move some bricks, so that the pigsty will soon be repaired. Farmers think of the vegetable cellar that is about to be repaired, and some can't wait.
So the peasants began to take advantage of the darkness to move bricks to the city wall in the south of the city to repair the vegetable cellar. While picking bricks with the hoe as usual, the hoe touched something and made a loud noise, which sounded like the collision of two metals. The peasant was shocked, and quickly pulled open the bricks and stones with his hands and dug out a very heavy iron lump. Because it was too dark, I didn't know what it was, but the peasant thought that it must be a good thing under this ancient city wall, so he took it in his arms and took it home, and waited until he returned home.
When I arrived at home, I piled the moved bricks in my yard at random, and I couldn't wait to take out the iron knot and look at it carefully through the light. Under the light, this iron knot revealed his true face of Lushan, at first, the farmer felt that it was the iron knot that the factory threw at random, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt a bit like a dragon, he looked carefully at the pattern, and the carving was quite exquisite. I thought that since it was under the ancient city wall, this thing must not be simple, it must be a treasure, maybe who hid it there. The farmer, who realized that he had found the treasure, decided to hide the treasure, and maybe he could still make it an heirloom.
It turned out that there was a reason for the strange sound of this cultural relic, not the real dragon apparition that the peasant thought, but that there was a gap in the back of the dragon, and it was hollow, and the wind blew in through the gap and made a strange whining sound. As for the source of this cultural relic, the staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau consulted a large number of historical facts, and then went to the ancient city wall in the south of the city that the peasant said to be carefully studied and investigated. After a long period of research, the mystery of this cultural relic was unveiled, according to the literature: "The dragon on the shishang was changed to a phoenix". It is also recorded that "the Great Dragon ... The Sahasrara shines on the leaves, there are anemone flowers, and the dragon sits. This is an ancient Jin Dynasty product called the "copper sitting dragon", which was used to decorate the carriage of the emperor's travels. The crack behind the dragon was deliberately set up, in order to let the wind enter the crack and make this "whining" sound, to show the majesty and honor of the emperor, and the ancient city wall was also the remnant of the Jin Dynasty. After understanding the ins and outs of this "bronze sitting dragon", the experts of the Cultural Relics Bureau decided to call it the "First Dragon of China".
The peasant listened to the expert's story, and the big stone in his heart that feared desecration of the true dragon was completely put down. The Cultural Relics Bureau did not punish the farmer for taking the initiative to hand over such precious cultural relics, and gave the farmer 18 yuan as a reward for voluntarily handing in cultural relics. And this "First Dragon of China", collected by the Heilongjiang Museum, as the treasure of the museum, is the first of the "Top Ten Town Museums".
The discovery of the "First Dragon of China" has added a strong touch to Chinese culture and greatly promoted the development of the country's research on the history of the Jin Dynasty. The peasants took the initiative to hand over cultural relics, which also brought a series of exemplary effects, which had an impact on the subsequent inclusion of some cultural relics from the folk into the collection, and were uniformly protected and studied. The discovery of cultural relics, scattered in a variety of ways, strange, but what remains unchanged is that they will eventually return, adding bricks and tiles to the history of Chinese civilization, so that we can better understand the cultural inheritance of China for five thousand years.
