Wan Chu's "Horse" wrote: "Golden Luo Qingqi White Jade Saddle, Long Whip Purple Strange Wild Tour Plate." With the golden network and the white jade saddle, you can walk the world in a dashing manner. This is particularly evident in feudal society, where the feudal system is a hierarchical system, how to express the difference in ranks? This can be reflected from all aspects of daily life, such as accessories, furniture, etc. In the Qing Dynasty, red coral gemstones were particularly loved by princes and nobles, among which the Qianlong Emperor and Empress Xiaoxian loved red corals as fate.
In addition to red coral, a very important object to show identity is the crown of the phoenix.
A rural woman, who said that she was wearing the phoenix crown of "Empress Dowager Cixi", went to the treasure hunting program. But within a few steps of her playing, experts urged her to take off the crown.
Why were experts so anxious to let her take it off? This requires an understanding of the phoenix crown.
The crown is a symbol of magnificence and nobility, and the crown is often carved with phoenixes and birds carved from gold and silver.
After a period of precipitation and improvement, there is an existing form. Because the crown is a crown that can only be worn on a specific occasion, it needs to be worn at the right time.
Casually wearing a phoenix crown reflects disrespect for traditional Chinese culture.
Therefore, the experts let her take it off in time and explained to her that the phoenix crown needs to be worn by people of a specific status on specific occasions, such as a noble concubine. Crowns are so rare that as of today, only three crowns have been mined.
It is very important to protect cultural relics, and at the same time, this is the protection of cultural relics and the respect for culture, so experts hope that the aunt will take down the phoenix crown.
The experts conducted a careful appraisal, and the crown was very ornate, with a lot of jewelry on it, and the decoration was exquisite.
If it is true, then only the concubines of the palace will wear such a phoenix crown, and it is not even excluded that it is the queen's.
For further identification, the age of the treasure must be judged. Because a type of cultural relics often has different forms of presentation in different eras, it is possible to confirm the age of cultural relics in order to conduct a more detailed and accurate identification of cultural relics.
There are also ivory hair ornaments, which appeared in the pre-Qin Dynasty, meaning power and the majesty of nature. But gradually there were also crests with tortoiseshells and gold and silver as accessories. But in fact, the origin of the phoenix can be traced back much further. This is the phoenix, but unlike the phoenix crown, the phoenix crown is mainly worn by women, but the phoenix is mainly worn by men.
The phoenix is not only exclusive to women, men also often wear accessories with phoenix elements.
This is different from the Qing Dynasty, where the phoenix was mainly used to symbolize women.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the level of technological development still did not meet the requirements of the production of phoenix crowns, and at this time, the empress's headdress was mainly a step shake, often accompanied by various walking animals made of gold. There are also other small ornaments, which are also intended to distinguish status. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, this kind of hair ornament was vividly called the flower tree, and the jewelry was often processed into the shape of a flower, flourishing and clustered. In the Song Dynasty, the development of fa bao became more complicated,
The phoenix dragon and crane are trinity, luxurious and noble.
In feudal society, this was absolute proof of identity.
Ordinary girls can only use plant and animal feathers as accessories.
The dragon and phoenix crown of the Ming Dynasty has been simplified as the "phoenix crown", and in the Ming Dynasty the "phoenix crown" has incorporated some new elements. Major changes have occurred, and the phoenix crown has been given the meaning of the wedding,
With the phoenix crown to marry, it is the marriage of the scenery.
So the crown of the phoenix varies from dynasty to dynasty, but overall it is a complicated change, and it has always been a status symbol.
But with the development of production levels, ordinary people can gradually wear phoenix crowns.
This is not only the evolution of Fengguan, but also a development of Chinese national culture, which tends to be advanced and inclusive. There's no doubt about it
What Big Mama wears is a fake.
The aunt was quite devastated, and in order to buy this "phoenix crown", the aunt took out a lot of family foundations, and even believed the words of the liar, believing that this was Empress Dowager Cixi's.
Unexpectedly, the "phoenix crown" that has been carefully protected for many years is actually a fake.
If you don't know a cultural relic, don't buy it easily, the lack of relevant knowledge will lead to easy deception. Regarding cultural collection, it should not be just speculative psychology, but more should be the appreciation of the cultural relic itself and the understanding of its culture.
We should maintain a sense of reverence for cultural relics and carefully explore every detail of cultural relics, because they contain the wisdom of the nation.
Wu Wenying of the Song Dynasty wrote in "Passing the Qin Lou Huang Zhong Shang Furong"
"Fragrant musk water, greasy red waves, a mirror of makeup jealousy." ”
Those gorgeous decorations, beautiful faces, have amazed the whole time. Although the phoenix crown has withdrawn from the stage of history, the cultural values it contains and its beautiful appearance have left a gorgeous stroke in history, and it also reflects the achievements of Chinese culture for beauty.
