In the "Yandi Bronze Art Exhibition" in the circular exhibition hall of the Capital Museum, there is an exquisite bronze ceremonial vessel carved with seven cow horns flying on the head of the bull, which is independent of a prominent booth, marking its noble status. It is the treasure of the capital museum and town hall, "Bo Zhi Mane", which was specially made by the noble "Bo Zhi" in the Western Zhou Dynasty to commemorate the reward of Yan Hou. The BoJi is particularly striking for its majestic shape, exquisite craftsmanship and magnificent visual impact.
The seven cows on the body of the Bo Zhi mane needed careful observation to find them all. On the surface of the body wall, the legs of the mane are used as the standard, and three cow heads are realistically carved and looked at each other in front of each other, which is easy to see. The lid is made of a pair of embossed bull's head patterns facing each other, which is also easier to see clearly. The key is the two bull heads on the cover button, the bull's beak is in the middle of the two horns of the cover bull's head, the bull's head is two and two opposite, and the eyes are facing forward. Did you find them all?
2021 is the Year of the Ox in the lunar calendar. During the Spring Festival, Shoubo created an IP image "Shoubo Niu" based on the Bo Mak as the prototype, and carried out the activity of "'Year of the Ox', Shou Bo Niu accompanies you to spend the Year of the Ox". I went to Shoubo with my son to participate in this activity, and found 5 kinds of "Shou Bo Niu", "All Things Are Good Cow", "Year of the Ox", "Zhao Cai Jin Bao Niu" and "Fu Xing Gao Zhao Niu".
