China is the pride of every chinese people, not only the vast land, but also the historical civilization of thousands of years, all of which do not show the thick cultural heritage of the great country.
As cultural relics are displayed in front of people's eyes, they can see not only the changes in the social environment at that time, but also the evolution of civilization.
Each cultural relic is a rare work of art, from which you can witness the degree of civilization evolution of a country, and even see the humanistic customs of each era, or elegant, or witty, or bold, or rough, in short, to tell the stories of what happened at that time to future generations.
It is precisely because of these stories that we have gradually woven into the history of China for five thousand years, and the museum is the "book" that counts these histories, and when we visit the museum, we learn about the historical stories of different periods. But today we want to talk about not the heavy cultural heritage, but to say that the museum is "not serious" 5 cultural relics, don't laugh, this is really made by the ancients!
One
Dahe people face pattern square Ding
The Shang Dynasty was the heyday of the use of bronze, and the most famous "big object" was Simu Pengding, which is also a representative work of Bronze ware of the Shang Dynasty.
but
This one
"Dahe people face pattern Fang Ding" is another representative, to be precise, "Big He Ren Face Pattern Fang Ding" is a funny outlier.
"Dahe Ren Face Pattern Fang Ding" is different from other bronzes in the Shang Dynasty, its main picture is not the animal pattern and cloud pattern on other bronzes, its appearance is surrounded by semi-embossed human faces, there are cloud thunder patterns around the human face, there are horns on both sides of the forehead of the human face, and there are claws on both sides of the chin.
The most discordant thing is that "human face".
"Dahe people face pattern square ding" through the height of 38.5 cm, mouth length of 29.8 cm, width of 23.7 cm, this specification is obviously a sacrifice of things, and in ancient times the sacrifice supplies are often high-end, solemn, high-grade visual effects, this "big He people face pattern square ding" is obviously an exception, and even because of the existence of this "human face" and a little more interesting.
Half-man, half-beast is the most common way of worshiping ancestral gods in prehistoric Chinese totems, and it is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that "the pingpu of the emperor of Shiwei, the divine hero Zhaosizhi, its shape of a horse and a human face, the tiger and the wings of birds, wandering in the four seas, its sound is like a grenade." "Here is written one of the gods, referred to as "immortals."
Therefore, archaeologists have deduced that the "Dahe Ren Face Pattern Fang Ding" may also be a "god", but it is not excluded that it is a "cultural hero". But no matter what the conclusion, the human face of "Dahe Ren Face Pattern Fang Ding" is an outlier that exists in fact, and as a special representative of the Bronze Ware of the Shang Dynasty, it is indeed a valuable treasure.

Suspected crossing product "Crystal Cup"
The handicrafts of the Warring States period have been more developed, and the excavation of various jade tools can more see the level of craftsmanship at that time, and the idiom "Complete Bi Gui Zhao" is an inspirational allusion related to jade, indicating that at that time, jade was a rare thing that was regarded as a treasure by dignitaries and nobles, and this "crystal cup" was also a product of the Warring States.
"Warring States Crystal Cup" is 15.4cm high, caliber 7.8cm, bottom diameter 5.4cm, the cup wall is obliquely and straight in the shape of a trumpet, which is very similar to the glass we see every day, if it is not placed in the museum, placed in the modern shopping mall, no one will see that this is a product of the Warring States from more than 2,000 years ago.
One has to think of the word "crossing".
We all know that crystal and jade are the types of ore, although it is a high hardness variety in the jade, but it is not very difficult for the Warring States period when the jade processing technology has entered its heyday, and it can be seen from the unearthed Warring States jade that many exquisite jades have relatively superb carving and polishing technology, and this "crystal cup" can better prove the development of handicrafts in the Warring States period.
The most breathtaking thing about this crystal cup is the texture of the crystal, the rare pure, faintly visible crystal sponge-like natural crystal, in order to let people know that this is a crystal cup, otherwise it is no different from the modern glass,
Therefore, this crystal cup, which is suspected of crossing the product, has become the "treasure of the town hall" of the Hangzhou Museum.

"Maoling stone carved lying cow" is 260 cm long and 160 cm wide,
Different from other mausoleum stone carvings, the "expression" of the lying cow is very anthropomorphic, with round eyes and raised corners of the mouth, giving people a kind of visual impact, coupled with the animal nature of the cow, which is endurance and diligence, making the cow appear particularly docile and thick.
It should be known that Huo Went ill was a great general who was in the limelight at that time, and his burial in the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of Han was an affirmation and honor for his lifelong horsemanship, and the existence of this lying cow probably meant the simple character of General Huo Toyi who worked hard and complained and rode the frontier for the country.
Usually the stone carvings around the mausoleum are shown in a solemn and solemn image, but this cow is an exception, and the vivid and generous expression brings some humor and vividness to the mausoleum, and it is this incongruity that is precious, so that future generations will remember the meritocracy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the loyal monarch of Huo to the sick.

Turtle toad fish pottery lamp
The shape of the "Turtle toad Fish Pottery Lamp" is very unique, unique to give people a funny degree.

Therefore, on the whole, the "tortoise and toad fish pottery lamp" is not a simple appearance funny, but more is the beautiful expectations of the ancients in it, which is undeniable high-end humor cultural relics.
