There has been no fault in five thousand years, and this feature of Chinese history is comparable to that of other countries. The history is long enough and the area is large enough, and there are more cultural relics that are naturally scattered in the corners and corners of the motherland.
However, in addition to the cultural relics currently in the National Museum, there are tombs excavated by archaeologists and objects scattered in unknown corners.
For example, in 2007, a fisherman on the river accidentally caught 90 kilograms of "scrap iron" when fishing, and the fishermen did not know the goods, the first thing they thought of was to sell to the waste station, and the result was that after expert identification, the value of this pile of scrap iron was immense.
90 kilograms of scrap iron can sell for 65 yuan
Tang Laohan caught the scrap iron pillar from the time of fishing on the river, and Tang Laohan's ancestors have been fishing on this river for generations, which has become a means for them to make a living. So when Tang Laohan felt that it was difficult to close the net, Tang Laohan already had seven or eight points of certainty in his heart, and today he caught a big fish. However, it is not a big fish but an iron pillar.
According to Tang Laohan's recollection, at that time, the scrap iron pillar was still wrapped in a layer of fine sand, and when Tang Laohan threw it hard, the sand shell began to fall off, and the iron pillar also appeared in real form.
However, Tang Laohan did not know a few characters, and naturally did not notice the words engraved on it. At this time, the first thought that came to Donald's mind was to sell for money.
However, with the strength of Tang Laohan alone, it was impossible to pull the iron pillar to the waste collection station. Donald had to knock on the door door to door, begging for help from other people's homes.
The news that Tang Laohan had picked up a huge iron pillar quickly spread throughout the village, and after weighing by the owner of the waste station, the weight of this iron pillar was 90 kilograms, and Tang Laohan could get 65 yuan. However, some people still noticed that the iron pillar was unusual and immediately reported it to the cultural relics department.
The iron pillar is a Han Dynasty site
According to the description of archaeologists, the font on the iron pillar is a bird seal, and the carving is "Guanghan County Luojiang Bridge Pier, weighing forty-five stones, built in the first year of the Tai Shi", which clarifies the use, weight and construction age of the iron pillar.
Originally, the iron pillar was the iron pier of the bridge, and because Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty had used the "Taichu" era name, coupled with the identification of archaeologists, it was determined that it was a Bridge Pier of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, archaeologists investigated the place where Tang Laohan found the iron bridge piers, and in addition to finding the sand shell that Tang Laohan threw away, he also found several pieces of ceramic tiles that were left behind.
In the investigation of the local people, the archaeological department gradually collected the information of the bridge. Originally, the name of the bridge was called "Tiger Bridge", and there were 13 piers supporting the bridge, and later some iron blocks were added, and the bridge was paved with tattered wooden planks, and you can also see small vendors shouting.
However, the bridge was washed away by the river in 1950. In addition, experts also learned that someone picked up an iron calf about 20 centimeters long.
The iron smelting technology of the two Han Dynasties has been almost mature, among which the No. 1 blast furnace excavated in Henan can produce one ton or half a ton of wrought iron per day, while the United Kingdom did not reach the level of the two Han dynasties until 1947, and the discovery of iron pillars has become one of the evidences of the development of iron smelting technology in the two Han Dynasties.
Iron pillars are worth a lot
In addition, the iron pillar is also a pontoon anchor made by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty during the southwest development, in which the floating bridge is fixed to the water surface by adjusting the rope.
Generally, pontoon bridges are used as war bridges, of which there are more than 20 on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Historians believe that the reason why the Yuan Dynasty was able to unify the southwest was because more than twenty pontoon bridges were used.
At present, the discovery of iron pillars confirms that the two Han Dynasties were the first to use pontoon anchors, and the text inscribed on the iron pillars is a part of the evolution of ancient writing, in the evolution of ancient scripts, bird seal script can be called the most beautiful hieroglyph, the importance of carving on iron pillars is self-evident.
Unexpectedly, an iron pillar inadvertently salvaged by Tang Laohan had such an important father status, and added a strong stroke of color to Chinese history. At present, the iron pillar has been collected by the Sichuan Museum, and it has become the "treasure of the town hall"!
Foreign countries have been coveting China's history, and any discovery of cultural relics must be racked for their own use. It is no wonder that a country with a short history needs these cultural relics to enhance national self-confidence, and since its own country lacks them, it can only peek at the cultural relics of other countries.
The discovery of the anchor of the pontoon bridge of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty undoubtedly made foreign countries salivate. Foreign countries have been slandering China's history, but the discovery of one cultural relic after another has hit foreign countries in the face. As a cultural relic with great research value in transportation, military and architecture, the importance of the pontoon anchor is self-evident.
The technology of the ancient working people on the mainland and the civilization of the Two Han Dynasties have begun to emerge, and it is undeniable that even if foreign countries continue to smear Chinese history, foreign countries have to admit that in the five thousand years that ancient China stood in the world, no country can compare!
