In 1968,
The Mancheng Han Tomb in Hebei Province unearthed a "rare treasure"
, name: Western Han Dynasty Gold copper Boshan furnace.
This cultural relic, covered with false gold ornaments, contains a variety of elements such as immortal mountains, seas, dragons, and exotic beasts, and is very well-made, which can be called a national treasure-level cultural relic.
However, this is not the most eye-catching cultural relics unearthed from the Mancheng Han Tombs!
It is said that in this Han tomb, two absolute "national treasure-level cultural relics" have also been unearthed, which are:
Two golden jade robes wrapped around Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing in the Western Han Dynasty, and his wife Dou Xuan.
At that time, these two cultural relics came out, which caused a sensation in the entire archaeological community, especially the one on the body of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing in the Western Han Dynasty, which was a rare treasure.
Liu Sheng's golden jade coat, 1.88 meters long, shared 2498 pieces of jade, the use of gold wire, about 1100 grams, well-made, well-preserved.
Friends who are familiar with Han tombs may know that jade clothes are a kind of cultural relics unearthed in the ancient tombs of nobles in the Han Dynasty.
The ancient Han people had a special love for jade, not only liked to wear jade before they died, but even after their death, they still liked to bring jade into the coffin.
As a result, there is a special phenomenon of common jade in Han tombs.
The jade garment, which belongs to the superior and precious jade combination, generally only appears in the ancient tombs of the nobles and above!
Like what
The golden jade clothes we mentioned above belong to the most precious and highest-ranking jade clothes among the jade clothes, and under normal circumstances, only after the death of the emperor, they are worthy of using the golden jade clothes.
So, in addition to the golden jade coat, is there any other form of jade clothing?
The answer, of course: yes, and more than one,
As far as I know, in addition to the golden jade coat, there are 3 other forms of jade clothes.
These 3 forms of jade clothing are:
Silver jade coat, copper jade coat, silk jade coat.
For example, in 1970, in a Han tomb descended from Liu Gong, the king of Pengcheng in the Eastern Han Dynasty of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, a silver jade robe was unearthed, which was 1.70 meters long and composed of more than 2,600 pieces of jade, and the silver wire used was about 800 grams.
From a distance, it looks similar to the golden jade coat, but the difference is that it uses silver wire, which is different from gold wire.
In addition, there are copper wisps of jade.
For example, in 2004, during the construction of the new gymnasium in Huaibei City, Anhui Province, a Han tomb was excavated, and in this Han tomb, a bronze jade coat was unearthed.
However, because this ancient tomb had been excavated before it was excavated, the quality of this jade robe was not too good when it was unearthed.
furthermore
There is also a kind of jade cloth made of silk thread threading and linen paste, such as the silk jade robe of the King of Nanyue, which is 1.73 meters long and shares 2291 pieces of jade.
From the excavated Han tombs, it is not difficult to find that during the Han Dynasty, jade clothes were very popular among the nobility, and it was often regarded as a symbol of status and status.
It was not until The Wei Emperor Cao Pi ordered that the use of jade clothes was banned, which was basically forbidden.
