When it comes to ancient cultural relics, people will naturally become solemn, especially after entering the museum, everyone is easily infected by a solemn and solemn atmosphere. The reason why there is this feeling is not only because many people have the impression that the heavy objects of the country are all treasures like bronze dings, or calligraphy and paintings that need to be carefully studied.
But in fact, in addition to some well-known magnificent atmosphere and exquisite national treasures, there are many national treasures that look really "untrimmed", which makes people can't help but see it. The photos of rap figurines in these two Han dynasties are also all the rage on the Internet, and anyone who sees these small clay figurines that "blossom with music" will involuntarily emerge with a smile on their faces.
These rap figurines were cast in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was strong, but the nobles began to change from the initial ambition of being diligent and thrifty to a strong country to luxury and pleasure, and bells and drums, women's music and so on also developed to the peak. So the artists carved these joyful scenes through pottery figurines in a memorable way.
The appearance of the rap figurine is realistic and does not lack charm, which can resonate strongly with the audience and is worthy of a set of artistic treasures. This set of rap figurines was excavated in 1963 in the brick chamber tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty of Song Jialin in Pixian County, Sichuan, and is currently in the collection of the National Museum of China.
The second pig-headed figurine must also be rare for everyone. When it comes to the artworks of the Zodiac, the first thing that comes to mind must be the bronze statue of the head of the Zodiac beast in the Yuanmingyuan that has experienced wandering and humiliation. But if you see this pig-headed figurine that is "laughing funny", the mood will definitely be much better.
This "thiefy" wild boar is only 79 centimeters tall, but the painting is very delicate, and the image is also interesting. Excavated in 1972 at the Astana Necropolis in Turpan, it was painted in a style more in favor of the Tang Dynasty and is now housed in the Museum of the First General.
Next, this strange-shaped, "nothing like" thing is called a turtle toad fish pottery lamp. As the name suggests, this is a "collection" of three animals made up of turtles and toads. At the very bottom of the pottery lamp is a large turtle that is trampled under the feet of a dazed toad. What looks like a toad's arm is actually two mandarin ducks, holding a lamp holder with their fins.
Unfortunately, this treasure from the Eastern Han Dynasty is a mutilated piece, not only the toad's "back" has a large hole, but also the fins on the left Mandarin duck fish are also lost, which makes people deeply regretful. However, it is also a blessing for posterity to see such "casual" crafts of the ancients.
Like the previous toad, there is also a fourth ancient cultural relic, the Maoling stone carved lying cow. Unlike other majestic and "bullish" cattle, this cow, which has been guarding the tomb of the Han Dynasty general Huo Fu for more than two thousand years, is incomparably thick and cute, more like a calf fabricated by a child.
Maoling stone carvings of lying cows do not have intricate and exquisite patterns, and the carving techniques are also very concise, one of the most important national treasures in China, and are forbidden to go abroad for exhibition. Today, together with its brothers, it is preserved in the Maoling Museum in Shaanxi Province, where it "smiles" every day to welcome visitors who come to see it.
The last piece is also an absolutely unmissable "funny" ancient relic, netizens once named it "the head of the horse with poison in the body", so the "poisoned horse head" has been cited in many documents. But is the expression of this "poisoned horse's head" seen by many people? If you can't recall it, look at the poor-mouthed donkey in "Shrek".
The "Poisoned Horse's Head" is in the collection of the Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan, and is still under restoration. When it comes to the Sanxingdui site, there are actually many strange and ancient cultural relics unearthed from here, of course, there are countless "improper" cultural relics from all over China. If these cultural relics are allowed to become Internet celebrities in the national treasure world, perhaps everyone will change a lot of ancient Chinese civilization and be more interested.
