The mainland has a long history and culture, so the cultural relics owned are also innumerable, some of which are well known by most people, so they all know that they are of extraordinary origin; but it should be known that the mainland has a historical heritage of five years ago, and many of them are not only unseen, but even unheard of.
The cultural relics that I want to introduce to you today are somewhat different, they are not as dazzling and noble as we imagine, but they look very strange and look funny.
Even many people's first reaction when they see them in museums is that it is too "fake", like something made by children when they play.
Although some people think that they are like fakes, but these strange-looking cultural relics have a lot of history, today I will introduce you to 3 pieces of cultural relics in the museum that are "fake" to make people laugh, you don't laugh, this is really designed by the ancients.
First, double ring ear silver pot
First of all, let's take a look at the "double ring ear silver pot", at first glance, the surface of this amphora is extremely black and shiny, and "silver" and "white" are not at all on the edge, and the appearance is very similar to today's household rice bowl, many people suspect that this is the product of modern rice bowl polishing and polishing.
In fact, this amphora originated from the Tang Dynasty, and it is a serious Tang Dynasty cultural relic. Although it looks like a black rice bowl now,
But the "two-ear white silver jar" is indeed made of sterling silver, and the amphora has been polished and the outer contour is extremely silky
At that time, the production can be said to be very sophisticated, but due to the long-term oxidation, it has become what it is today.
So why did the tang dynasty residents use this amphora? This brings us to the "alchemy" that was widely spread at that time. Alchemy, is the embodiment of the ancients yearning for immortality, probably from the Spring and Autumn Warring States, in order to make themselves a longevity of the gods, the ancients began to use a variety of containers to refine Dan, the most important is the gold and silver things.
The amphora was unearthed in 1970 from Hejia Village, Shaanxi Province, along with five small crucible-style vessels, which experts speculate are most likely for alchemy.
2. Ming Dynasty silver incense box
The second introduction is this "Ming Dynasty silver incense box". To tell the truth, this silver incense box really doesn't look like a Product of the Ming Dynasty, and even confused the experts when it was unearthed.
The silver incense box was excavated from the tomb of Li Xinzhai family in Jiangqiao Town, Jiading, because it is too similar to the current beer bottle cap, some people think that it is left by tomb robbers in the tomb chamber.
Although the silver incense box is very badly corroded due to its long-term burial underneath, through this small shape and exquisite pleated edge decoration, it is enough to show how exquisite the boudoir objects of the maidens of the Ming Dynasty officials' families are. This concave and convex gear-shaped appearance, which resembles a beer bottle cap, makes people open
combine
It's a great time.
Looking at the pictures, we can see that
In the middle of the incense box, there is also a "incense" word connected with "dots", which is very cleverly conceived
So it appeared in historical exhibitions, and because of its unique appearance, it is loved by the public and is now in the Shanghai Museum.
3. Copper five-pillar vessel
Bronze ware, can be said to be the highest overall value in the excavated cultural relics today, the most heavy historical heritage of a type of instrument, in the previous stone tools are not as exquisite as bronze ware, and after the lacquerware, porcelain, etc., and not as simple as bronze, so in our country,
Bronze is a class of antiques that are strictly forbidden to be traded privately.
In the public impression, bronzes are generally exquisite, dignified and atmospheric, but this copper five-pillar vessel hidden in the Anhui Provincial Museum really makes tourists laugh off their teeth.
Isn't this just a "WIFI" signal?
In addition to the color inconsistency, the light appearance is particularly similar to the one I use at home, and it has been named by netizens
"Western Zhou Wireless Router"
Harmonic terms.
epilogue:
Although the cultural relics introduced today are very similar to modern products in appearance, in fact, they are really the crystallization of the wisdom and technology of the ancients, and are part of our five-thousand-year-old Chinese culture.
