China has a long history, every dynasty and every generation has some able people, they have created a lot of treasures, although many historical figures left this world, but these treasures have been handed down, now known as cultural relics.
they
The reason why they can be made into cultural relics is because they represent the uniqueness of each era, and at the same time have great collecting significance
From these cultural relics, we can see the development of society at that time and the wisdom of our predecessors. Today, let's take a look
Ming Dynasty incense box bumping face beer bottle cap thing
For this matter,
People are surprised, but experts say: ultra-modern technology. What's the story behind it?
Exhibition hall surprise "beer bottle cap"
In an exhibition in Shanghai, there was a cultural relic in the museum that made many people unbelievable, and even set off a storm on the Internet.
This artifact
It is about three centimeters in diameter and has a circular base with a particularly prominent triangular wavy fold on it
, it looks like a "beer bottle cap". As soon as this exhibit was displayed, many people talked about it, and there was a lot of quarrel on the Internet, and many people suspected that it was a "fake" cultural relic.
From the appearance point of view, it is a beer bottle cap, people can not associate it with cultural relics at all, at that time even some netizens thought that this is not which
The tomb robbers were left behind by stealing beer during the tomb robbery,
Finally discovered by archaeologists, it was only shown for exhibition. In the face of netizens' doubts, the staff in the expo cried and laughed.
Repeatedly asked for the identity of cultural relics
In fact, it is very normal for netizens to be able to have this reaction, because when archaeologists found out, they also had the same doubts. That's when archaeologists found this artifact when they did
It was impossible to see what it looked like at the time of burial, and the silverware was covered with rust and moss.
At that time, this was after all a major discovery, even if there were doubts in their hearts, they had to wait for the identification results to come out before doing other treatment, in line with a scientific and rigorous attitude, they could only hand it over uniformly and keep it uniformly.
Later, while the experts were cleaning up and observing, it was discovered
This "beer lid" is engraved with the word "incense of the round cavity".
This discovery surprised everyone at the time, and in order to be more certain about the history of this cultural relic, they conducted a new round of research on the material of this cultural relic. After research, I found that this "beer bottle cap"
It turned out to be made of silverware, and this discovery is also ironclad proof that it is not a "beer lid".
In ordinary life, each beer bottle cap is made of tinplate stamping molding, dripping some hot melt adhesive on its inner surface, in the process of production, because it is mass production, so it is impossible to guarantee the fineness of each beer bottle cap.
This incense box that archaeologists have found today,
Not only the silverware production, but also the production of each edge and corner is very sophisticated,
No merchant would choose to place a beer cap of this material on a beer bottle that retails for a few dollars.
Based on multiple appraisals and site surveys by multiple archaeologists, this was finally determined
It is a cultural relic from the Ming Dynasty, this cultural relic is the funeral of the hostess at that time, it is not a "beer bottle cap", but a very delicate silver incense box,
Many archaeologists were overjoyed by the discovery
To put it bluntly: ultra-modern technology.
Ancient incense box, supreme
During the Ming Dynasty, everyone's thinking was very conservative, especially for women, they were not allowed to go to the street to buy a house before they were married, and after marriage, they had to do not go out of the door and live only with their husbands, and women at that time were not only closed to outside news, but even their relatives were rarely in contact.
Under such conditions, they actually thought of making incense boxes to add their charm, which is enough to prove the wisdom of the ancients.
For the people of this dynasty, they
Most of the utensils and daily necessities used are made of some ceramics, and the incense box made of this silverware definitely reflects an identity and status
。 The metal mining technology of the Ming Dynasty was very backward, and this incense box was also engraved with an incense character, and the shape of the appearance was particularly exquisite.
At that time, if you wanted to make such an apparatus, it was very time-consuming, laborious, and it cost a lot of money, and the most important thing was that the owner of this incense box must be very famous.
If there is no certain status, there will be no such incense box at all.
This incense box found in the ancient tomb is not an ordinary incense box.
They are matching, that is to say, the two cultural relics that are mistaken for "beer bottle caps", in fact, one is the base of the incense box, and the other is the lid of the incense box.
hostess
After putting your own fragrance into this box, you can use the folded gap between the boxes to emit the smell of aromatherapy.
In the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, incense boxes basically became a must-have in every wealthy family, especially for women. A lot
Men who work hard in the official arena will also use some spices that match their identity to increase their recognition, and the larger the official position, the better the taste of the spices, and the more delicate the containers containing spices
。
In ancient times,
The value of spices is very high, it symbolizes a person's status and power
The spices of that time were comparable to the gold of today,
The reason for this statement is mainly because spices are extremely volatile, and different spices must be lit on different occasions to prove their status.
It can be seen that whether in ancient times or in modern times,
Women have a common disease of loving beauty
。 It's just that women at that time did not have such convenient conditions as they do now, so they could only improve their refinement in this way.
No one could have imagined that in that era, the craftsmen could create such a more avant-garde incense box, and they could also ensure that each fold of the incense box was almost exactly the same, and what was even more unimaginable was that the incense box that was at its peak at that time was the most popular.
It was so similar to today's beer bottle caps.
Since the exhibition was launched, it has been discussed by many people and questioned by many people, and in the face of the doubts of the majority of netizens, the expert group can only prove its findings to people again and again.
When netizens have figured out the origin of the matter, everyone admires the wisdom of the ancients. Nowadays, this exhibit has been shown for a long time, but there are still many netizens who come to visit,
This exhibit has also become an internet celebrity exhibit in the museum.
