In the past few years, under the influence of some popular crossing dramas, many people have become crossover enthusiasts, constantly fantasizing about how prosperous they can live by relying on their historical knowledge after crossing to ancient times.
In fact, most of those cross-over dramas are beautified, including many costume dramas presented by the ancient life is not all untrue, the ancient life in reality is not so beautiful at all, even if this kind of thing that is divorced from reality and scientific basis really exists, the modern people who cross to ancient times will not be so moist.

Nowadays, people's pursuit and yearning for ancient times mainly focus on two aspects, on the one hand, the gorgeous and elegant clothing of the ancients, and on the other hand, many ancient magical legends.
First of all, let's analyze the wearing aspect, of course, there are many beautiful and gorgeous clothes in modern times, but the advantage of ancient costumes is the sense of history reflected in the complexity.
Now many people like to take a collection of costume photos just to experience an ancient brocade costume.
But let's not forget that modern clothing is the basic style that has undergone several changes, and regardless of aesthetics, modern clothing is definitely the most convenient.
Costumes are good to look at, but imagine that in the hot summer, the ancients had to wear clothes in three layers and three layers outside, and even their arms and legs could not be exposed. And in ancient times, not everyone could afford to wear brocade clothes, and more ordinary people could only wear coarse cloth and linen clothes.
I believe that if such clothes are taken out, no one will feel good-looking.
In addition to clothing and clothing, many people also yearn for the magical legends of ancient times, but in fact, these legends are all watery, after all, the ancient people's cognition is different from now.
For example, in the story of lying down and tasting guts, the Yue King has a sword that cuts iron like mud, and in the end he can successfully take revenge thanks to this sword. However, when archaeologists actually found the sword, it was
I found that it was not even comparable to an ordinary kitchen knife.

Yue Guo was a relatively weak country, and his practice as a monarch was humiliated in the Wu Kingdom, but instead of complaining about himself, he was lying down and trying to be bold, so that he could remember all the sufferings he had endured. In the end, Gou Jian returned to Vietnam and relied on his own capacity building to make Vietnam more and more powerful.
After the revival of the country, Gou Jian fulfilled his vows, declared war on the State of Wu, and washed away all the humiliations he had suffered.
The war ended in the victory of the Vietnamese state, which later conquered several countries in a row and became a veritable power. The reason why these wars could be won so smoothly was that in addition to practicing his own talents, the sword in his hand also played a huge role in helping. It is said that this sword is rare to see in a hundred years, and its sharpness is as sharp as mud, comparable to an artifact.
But after thousands of years, this sword has long been lost, and no one in modern times has seen this excalibur with their own eyes. Until the 1960s, when the Zhanghe River in Jingmen, Hubei Province, was driven, people found that there was a piece of soil that seemed to have been excavated, and many ancient tombs were found throughout the country at that time, and the relevant departments attached great importance to this and immediately sent an archaeological team to investigate.
The archaeological team really found an ancient tomb group nearby, there are more than fifty ancient tombs at the bottom, there are many cultural relics, and what is even more surprising is that there is actually the sword inside.

Just by looking at the appearance, you can see the unusualness of this sword, the surface of the sword is carved with some patterns, and the name of the hook is written, which looks quite beautiful. In the era of cold weapons, the appearance of various weapons is relatively simple and unpretentious, this sword looks natural, it can be said that it has both appearance and function,
No wonder it will become the favorite sword of a monarch.
But for the sword, good looks are not the most important, if not sharp enough, even the most gorgeous sword is scrap iron. In the legend, this sword is enough to cut iron like mud, but experts have found that the raw material of this sword is bronze, no matter how exquisite the production process, it is impossible to make the sword cut iron like mud.
For this the experts did a test, using this sword to cut paper, the experiment found that this
The sword can easily break through 26 sheets of paper.
It may sound like you don't have a concept, here you can provide you with a set of control data, the most common kitchen knife in modern times can cut more than 50 pieces of paper, directly twice as sharp as the sword. Because the raw materials of modern kitchen knives are all steel, they are naturally much sharper than bronze.
In the eyes of the ancients, the sword was quite sharp, so everyone would describe it by cutting iron like mud. But in fact, the sword is not so sharp, but we can not deny that the sword is a very valuable cultural relic, he reflects the level of craftsmanship of the people of that era, but also a witness to a period of history.
