In the eyes of many people, ancient cultural relics are symbols of history and culture, so the excavation of a cultural relic also symbolizes the civilization of an era. In the modern era of the mainland, most of the excavated cultural relics are more shocking and spectacular, but most people do not know that the ancients created cultural relics at the same time, there is also a "naughty" side, when the experts excavated these cultural relics, have expressed disbelief.
The first one, Ma Ta Fei Yan
In 1969, a large group of villagers in Gansu Province, when digging and building an air raid shelter, inadvertently dug up an ancient tomb, unearthed a large number of bronze cultural relics, and later the local villagers sent the cultural relics in these tombs to the local government and included in the museum for preservation.
According to its age and form, experts named it the Eastern Han Copper Galloping Horse, and there is a better name, called Ma Ta Fei Yan, from the side, this horse is in good shape, galloping, the head is slightly made to make a high-headed hissing, very in line with the national temperament of the mainland, but from the front, you will not think so, between this well-built Pegasus, is tilting its head, spitting out a half-cut tongue, it is very funny.
The second, the figurine seat pottery lamp
This is excavated in 1955 in Guixian County, Guangxi, a cultural relics of the granary No. 14 tomb, and Ma Ta Feiyan is different, this cultural relics from top to bottom present a funny appearance, you can see, this clay figurine head has a lamp holder, thick and can be sat on the front, his hands on the knees, feet together, in the eyes of the ancients, this is the most standard etiquette sitting posture, but his expression and sitting posture have a great difference,
From the front, the eyes of this clay figurine are very large, the mouth is slightly open, and it seems that a row of teeth is exposed, if you look closely, you can also see the beard on the side of his mouth, and his whole face is tense, completely surprised, looking both pitiful and funny. According to some historical records, this kind of figurine pottery lamp is a representative of the Hu people during the Han Dynasty, that is to say, this cultural relics flowed in from the western region.
The third, the pig-headed figurine
This is the most special of the many ancient cultural relics, it was excavated from the ancient tomb in the Xinjiang region of the mainland, and it is the only large zodiac figurine tomb so far. In ancient times, people were more interested in feng shui, especially after people died, they had to find a good feng shui treasure, so that the elders of the family could protect future generations after burial. Judging from modern literature, the tombs of zodiac figurines originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and later in the pre-Qin period, there was also the custom of using zodiac animals as funerals.
And in Xinjiang unearthed this pig head figurine, from its workmanship, the image is very realistic, not only the clothes are clearly grained, even the pattern color distribution is also bright and eye-catching, it can be seen that the ancient pottery craftsmanship and painting are exquisite, but if you look at the front, everyone will be amused by the expression of this pig head figurine, from its facial features, completely give people a smile and face, how happy is it? It is not an exaggeration to describe it with the corners of the mouth grinning to the root of the ear.
The fourth, the three-star pile gray pottery head
Sanxingdui has been attracting much attention since it was accidentally excavated in the last century, because it is different from the civilization history of the Central Plains culture of the mainland, so it has caused widespread controversy, the most of which is whether Sanxingdui is a civilization left by aliens, from the excavation to the present, Sanxingdui has indeed unearthed some strange ancient cultural relics, such as the huge longitudinal face bronze statue, as well as bronze ancient trees, and gray pottery heads.
Like a large number of bronze statues unearthed from Sanxingdui, she has a pair of eyes the size of a copper gong, which protrudes amazingly outside the eye sockets, in addition, it also has a pair of exaggerated large ears, which completely confirms the title of "clairvoyance, downwind ear". And the head is so large that the whole face doesn't look like a human face at all, but rather like some kind of beast face shape.
The funniest thing is that the mouth of this gray pottery figure is not like other bronze statues, it looks similar to a strange smile, but it is slightly bent downwards, which makes people have the illusion that it is very wronged, is it that when this clay figurine was built, the builder was wronged, so it was expressed on the clay figurine? Of course, we don't know this today, but it is undeniable that these ancient artifacts were indeed made by the ancients, but they only made them look more vivid.
