Crossing is a technical activity, and if you want to cross, you must bring modern weapons, generators, and some necessary electrical appliances. If you want to drink water, first of all, it is recommended to bring a thermos cup, as for the glass, it is too easy to break, and it is not warm. So even if someone crosses it, they won't bring a glass.
Back to the point, the Warring States Tombs did unearth modern glasses of the same type, which occurred in October 1990. At that time, villagers in Shitang Village, Mid-Levels Town, Hangzhou, were digging up soil and burning bricks in the local area, and some villagers found ceramic chimes in the process of taking soil, but these villagers did not make a noise, but secretly sold them to antique dealers. However, it was eventually discovered by other villagers and reported to the police, and the cultural relics that were eventually sold were successfully recovered.
After the cultural relics were recovered, the relevant experts identified the cultural relics and determined that these cultural relics were original porcelain palladium [bo], which were often used with chimes and chimes, and were special items for noble banquets and sacrifices in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
Seeing that the cultural relics department here deeply understood that there should be a tomb of a nobleman and even a prince from the Warring States era, he came to Shitang Village in Mid-Levels Town to carry out rescue excavations of the site. In the course of archaeological excavations, archaeologists gradually expanded the archaeological scope, and a large tomb was found around the site.
At that time, when archaeologists excavated this Warring States tomb, they found a crystal bright light only one meter above the ground, and after half an hour of cleaning, an incredible "glass" was excavated.
The overall height of this "glass" is 15.4 cm, the diameter is 7.8 cm, and the diameter of the bottom is 5.4 cm. The walls of the cup are obliquely straight, and the overall shape is like a trumpet, without any texture or decoration. The key is that the cup is transparent, slightly amber, and the surface has been polished. Therefore, this cup looks basically indistinguishable from a modern glass.
At that time, when people saw the "glass", their hearts were instantly half cold, thinking that the ancient tomb had already been stolen by tomb thieves. But on second thought, why would a tomb robber bring a glass to rob a tomb? Is it difficult to bring tea leaves and kettles to drink tea in the ancient tomb? Therefore, archaeologists sent the "glass" to Beijing for identification.
After identification, the "glass" is indeed an item of the Warring States period, and the "glass" is actually polished from a whole piece of natural crystal, so the "glass" should be called a crystal cup to be precise.
Under the conditions of the Warring States period, it was very difficult to make crystal cups, first of all, the problem of materials, because the natural crystals at that time were very small, and most of the crystals could only be used as some pendants or ornaments, so large natural crystals were rare.
Secondly, natural crystal is actually a quartz crystalline mineral with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, which is harder than copper, iron, glass and other substances, so it is very difficult to polish. According to the speculation of experts, the crystal cup was shaped by the craftsmen at that time with a little bit of emery, and finally polished the inner and outer walls of the cup to achieve the effect we see today.
Regarding the owner of the cup, archaeologists have also made some inferences. First, experts did carbon 14 testing on charcoal and original porcelain in the ancient tomb, and determined that the year was about 2500 years old, and then the pollen in the soil in the crystal cup was also tested, which also showed that the date was about 2500 years ago.
Second, there are facilities such as two-story platforms and drainage ditches in the ancient tombs, and most of these facilities come from the Chu region. Therefore, it is inferred from this that the owner of the tomb lived in the era of the fall of the Chu state and the yue kingdom during the Warring States period. It is likely that it was the tomb of the highest administrator sent to the land of Wuyue after the fall of the Chu state to the Yue kingdom. When the official died, he took the precious crystal cup into the ground because he was unusually fond of it.
