In 2002, in Anyang, Henan Province, an old man fished in the Huan River. Suddenly, the fish hook seemed to be bitten. The old man pulled hard, and caught a bronze turtle, and there were four arrows inserted in the turtle's back. The old man shook his head repeatedly, feeling a little obscure. What he didn't expect was that it was a national treasure.

Back at home, the old man cleaned up the bronze turtle and found that there were many strange characters on the back of the turtle, like a book of heaven.

This is a bit interesting, the old man took a picture, ask people to see what is written on it.

Someone told him that this might be an ancient artifact and sent it to the Antiquities Bureau.

So, the old man took the bronze turtle to the local cultural relics department. After identification, this turned out to be a rare Bronze Ornament of the Shang Dynasty, which can be called a national treasure.

The old man smiled and closed his mouth, he thought it was an obscure thing, but he didn't expect it to be so precious. He hastened to say that he would donate the bronze turtle to the country.

Bronze turtle is 21.4 cm long, 16 cm wide, 10 cm high and weighs 1.6 kg. The four arrows on the back give this bronze ornament a special look.

The turtle's back is engraved with a 32-character inscription that tells an unexpected story.

Travel back 3,000 years, when the King of Shang was holding a shooting ceremony at the edge of the Huan River, targeting fish and water birds in the river.

He was followed by an official who recorded history called "Pan", a position called "Album".

The King of Lu was drawing his bow to aim when suddenly a large turtle popped its head out of the water grass. With a loose hand, an arrow was fired at the big turtle, nailing it to the riverbed.

Subsequently, Ban handed three arrows to the King of Qiu in succession, and all four arrows hit the giant turtle, penetrating the turtle's back.

The people around them rejoiced, and the king ordered the people to pick up the big turtle and give it to him.

Flattered, he knew in his heart that the King had asked him to find a way to record this heroic deed in history.

So, Ban found someone to make a bronze turtle and carved this story on the back of the turtle.

This bronze turtle is known as the "album-like shrew". The album-like shrew made the expectations of the King of Shangyi come true, and his magical arrow technique traveled through more than 3,000 years of vicissitudes and showed it to posterity.

It turned out that the King of Shang was not just a faint and incompetent, all day long, who only knew how to drink and have fun, and fooled around with himself.

Judging from this album-like shrew, Kong Wu, the king of Shang, was powerful, and one arrow could penetrate the thick tortoise shell. His archery skills are also quite exquisite, the arrows can hit the giant turtle, and it is impossible to reach such a level without long-term practice.

History is always fogged down by the victors. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi, in order to win over the people of the world, listed several major evidences of the shang king's crimes, and blackened himself and publicized it everywhere.

In the subsequent generations, the king became an absurd, tyrannical and useless king of the country. Dai Ji is a fox spirit that seduces men.

As for the truth of history? I am afraid that it is impossible to distinguish between true and false. And those cultural relics buried deep in the ground allow us to glimpse a looming truth in the fog.
