Whenever it comes to cultural relics exhibitions, people's minds must also be solemn and solemn scenes, with a thick historical background wall, as if it really makes people return to the era of a thousand years ago...
But are these antiques all the same? Maybe it's different from what you think, in the museum, there are also 3 "improper" cultural relics, don't laugh when you see it, the ancient people were so interesting, let's take a good look at it!
Ancient version of "Angry Birds"
In 2011, a group of bronzes in the Shanxi Museum suddenly became popular on the Internet, causing many people to joke and pay attention, it turned out that this was during the fire of the Angry Birds game, but everyone found its thousand-year-old version in the glass cabinet. This is the bronze artifact xiāoyǒu unearthed in the Shang Dynasty, which has a history of 2,000 years.
The meaning of the owl, that is, the owl, the former mainland folk, once regarded the owl as an "ominous bird", giving it many nicknames for the soul bird and the mourning bird, in fact, the owl in an earlier period was also considered a symbol of auspiciousness, and the owl was a kind of wine vessel.
On this wine vessel, the lid is the head, the vessel is the body, the round eye hooks the beak, the awe-inspiring and powerful, is a very exquisite Shang Dynasty bronze, but also to achieve both beautiful and practical, I believe it did not expect that it will be so popular in the future.
Lewis chess
In 1964, a businessman bought a medieval chess piece for £5 in Edinburgh, England, and surprisingly, by 2019, the piece was on the outskirts of Sotheby's for 6.2 million yuan.
The biggest reason why this chess piece is so famous is that it is the only one in the "Lewis Chess Pieces" series that flows into the free market, and the rest are all treasured by the British Museum and the Scottish Museum.
Up to now, the British Museum, which has a history of more than two hundred years, Lewis chess pieces are still the most popular works, they were found on the Island of Lewis in Scotland, including 78 chess pieces and 14 backgammon pieces, according to scholars, these pieces should be from the hands of the Vikings, but also have a very strong Nordic cultural atmosphere, and the expression of the dolls is more vivid, from the king sitting in danger, the bishop who thinks hard, people can't help but be funny.
Copper galloping horses
Believe this work, most people also have an impression, its official scientific name is called "Copper Running Horse", alias is also known as Ma Ta FeiYan, in October 1969, copper galloping horse was unearthed in Wuwei City, Gansu Province Leitai Han Tomb, and now has become the treasure of the Gansu Museum.
The bronze galloping horse is 34.5 meters high and 45 meters long, with exquisite shapes, and its head is hissing, which shows the handsome image of a thousand-mile foal, and the birds at the hooves of the horses reflect the lightness of the whole animal.
However, you may find a question, why are there so few positive photos of copper galloping horses on the market? In fact, take a picture to see, you will know the reason.
People often say: "a smile to cover the ugly", but the copper galloping horse obviously has the opposite effect, but on the other hand, the horse animal looks durable, but once it eats or hisses and shows its teeth, it is very easy to produce a feeling of playing with treasure, from this aspect, the copper galloping horse is also a good restoration of the joyful atmosphere.
