In China's long and splendid history, there have been many exquisite cultural relics, and they are still the best in our cultural and artistic treasure house. Some cultural relics were relatively niche at the time, and they have long disappeared today, so many people do not know them. Some cultural relics are very similar to today's daily necessities because of coincidence, which makes people misunderstand and think that they have crossed over.
The most famous is the Warring States Crystal Cup, the treasure of the Hangzhou Museum, because its shape resembles the current glass, and was once considered abandoned by tomb robbers. However, after testing, its material is crystal, and the production date is the Warring States period, which is surprising and has become a topic of discussion in the literary and historical circles.
However, the most popular cultural relics in recent times are the cultural relics in the "Ruins of The Ruins of The City" Jiading excavated cultural relics exhibition jointly organized by the Shanghai Museum and the Jiading Museum. After it was posted on the Internet, it immediately became popular and was the focus of heated discussion in the streets and alleys. Because of its shape, it is too much like the beer bottle cap we are familiar with.
We see that the pictures uploaded by netizens are indeed very similar to beer bottle caps, and even have wrinkles. It's just that because of its age, its surface has already had corrosion marks. Jokingly, it really looks like a crosser brought over, and seriously, this will not be a grave robber who drinks alcohol and accidentally leaves it inside.
Yes or no, we must first restore the scene where the cultural relics were discovered. In 2007, an ancient tomb was suddenly found on the construction site of Jiangqiao New Countryside at the intersection of Cao'an Highway and Huajiang Branch Road in Shanghai's Jiading District. The Shanghai Museum and the Jiading District Museum immediately carried out rescue excavations of the tomb. The tomb is well preserved and has never been stolen, and it can be known through the epitaph that this is a husband and wife burial tomb, the man is Li Rujie, who served as a Dengzhou Tongzhi during the Wanli years.
Silver incense boxes were made-up used by ancient women, mainly for placing spices. Its upper lid is slightly larger than the lower box, and the edges are made into a concave and convex gear shape, just to properly nest it. Experts have counted on the spot, such folds are a total of 19, and although the beer bottle caps are different in color and pattern because of different manufacturers, the standards implemented are the standard "DIN6099" made in Germany, all of which are 21 teeth.
More importantly, the beer cap is made of tinplate stamping and forming, and the inner surface is made of hot melt glue, the material is iron, and this silver incense box is made of silver. Although according to the corrosion situation, it can be seen that its silver content is not high, but after all, it is also silver, and no beer bottle cap will use such a luxurious material.
A cultural relic that was very common in the Ming Dynasty, but it did not expect to become popular on the Internet today. I have to say that the love and participation of the general public for Chinese culture is also getting higher and higher. In fact, most netizens are ridiculed, this is to combine the love of cultural relics with the spirit of entertainment, but the experts of the museum have to repeatedly state: this cultural relics come from the Ming Dynasty, not through.
In fact, in addition to the Warring States Crystal Cup and the Ming Dynasty Silver Incense Box, there are also Yuan Liuli bottles that resemble beer bottles. Because these cultural relics happen to "collide" with the objects we are familiar with by chance, they have left so many interesting topics, and they have further stimulated our interest in exploring history.
