Jingzhou Museum tour, there are gains, but also regrets.
Because the museum is still being upgraded, it is impossible to see the ancient corpse of the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, "Mr. Sui", nor have I seen the lacquer feather man, the light yellow silk cotton robe of the dragon to the phoenix, and the tiger seat phoenix drum.
But seeing such a group of cultural relics at the Chuhan Bronze Culture Exhibition in the Jianghan Plain shocked me to the extreme, and I had to take them out separately to share with you: the four generations of "Yue Wang Sword".
The Shangwu Chu people regarded the sword as their fate, and often buried it with the sword they wore after death. Among them, the most famous Yue Wang sword is undoubtedly the Yue Wang Gou Jian sword collected in the Hubei Provincial Museum. This sword was excavated from Tomb No. 1 of the Wangshan Chu Tomb Group in Jiangling County, Jingzhou, and is now one of the treasures (one of the four major towns of the Hubei Provincial Museum).
The Yue Wang Sword is the best of the swords, in addition to the Gou Jian Sword, there are also lu Yin Sword, Blind Gu Sword, State Gou Sword and so on. If you want to see these thousand-year-old swords at once, you must go to the Hubei Jingzhou Museum, which is
The museum with the largest collection of Yue Wang swords in the country has the Four Generations of Yue Wang Swords, including the Yue Wang Lu Yin Sword, the Wubei Ancient (Blind Gu) Sword, the Zhou Gou Sword, and the Bu Light Sword.
Entering the dark and quiet bronze exhibition hall, the sword of the fourth generation of Yue Wang was extremely eye-catching, crouching down to look up, the sword pointed forward, as if history had crossed, shocking.
[Yue Wang Zhou Gou Sword] was excavated in 1973 from the tomb of Jingzhou Tengdian No. 1, and was used by the great-grandson of Gou Jian and the son of Bu Shou. This sword is 56.2 cm long, and the sword body has two lines of wrong gold inscriptions, each line is four characters, the font is bird and insect book, and the interpretation is "Yue Wang Zhou Hook Self-Action Sword". There are many surviving swords in Yuewangzhou, and after checking the data, there are at least more than 10 of them. But this one in the Jingzhou Museum is the most exquisite.
【Yue Wang not lightsaber】 excavated from the Zhangjiashan Warring States Tomb in Jingzhou in 1974, the sword body is narrow and long, the lines are regular, the blade is still extremely sharp, and the front and back of the sword face have four words: "Yue Wang Yue Wang", "Not Only Not Light".
King Yue was not only the fourth grandson of King Yue, that is, Yue Wang Feng, who reigned for 36 years, and during his reign, the State of Yue was relatively strong. So far, there are more than twenty surviving bronze swords related to him, of which the "Yue Wang Bu Lightsaber" excavated from the tomb of the Chu state in Jingzhou is the most exquisite.
[Yue Wang Blind Gu Sword] was excavated from the tomb of Zhangjiashan in 1976, and was made for a "composite sword", that is, the sword ridge and blade were cast separately with bronze alloys with different composition ratios, in order to achieve the effect of combining rigidity and softness. This sword is 65.2 cm long and 5 cm wide, and was used by the blind aunt of the grandson of the Yue King.
The inscription on the sword reads "E (Yue) Wang Qi Bei Gu (Blind Gu), Zi Cha (作) Yuan Zhi Zhi"; "Tai Peng (Yue) Wang Qi Bei Zi Cha (Zuo) Yuan Zhi You (Sword)". Even after more than 2,000 years, the inscription on the sword is clearly visible. The museum's security uncle proudly said: "After more than 2,000 years, the sword is still sharp and abnormal." ”
There are only three surviving swords of the Blind Gu of the Yue King
It is in the collections of Shanghai Museum, Anqing Museum and Jingzhou Museum.
If you want to find a sword that can be compared with the Yue King's Gou Jian Sword, you have to mention the Yue King Lu Yin Sword. This sword was excavated in 1988 in the tomb of Wai chu in the north wall of Jingzhou Ji'nancheng, and was used by the son of King Gou of Yue.
The sword is 65 cm long, 5.3 cm wide and 1.2 cm wide. The shape of the sword is similar to that of the Yue King's Gou Jian sword, with 7 concentric circles at the beginning of the sword, the sword grid inlaid with turquoise, and a bird seal inscription: "戉 (越) 王戉 (越) King, he who intends to give". The "purpose of the person" here is, according to research, the son of king Gou of Yue, also known as Lu Yin. It is as sharp as the father's sword and is beautifully decorated.
The copper sword dust was buried for two thousand years, and it was still as cold as frost. Although the account of the Yue King's sword is full of mystery, it is not difficult to find the traces of the sword casting at that time through the clouds and mist.
The above four swords are calculated according to the generations, namely the sword of Lu Yin, the sword of Sun Zi, the sword of Sun Zi, the sword of Chongsun Zhou, and the sword of the fourth generation of Sun Bu, and the Yue Wang family really gathered the best swords in the world. It can be seen that "the world of swords and armor" is worthy of the name.
