Rural women wore phoenix crowns to participate in the treasure hunting, and as soon as they stepped on stage, they were reprimanded by experts: hurry up and take it off
Introduction: In the feudal system of more than two thousand years on the mainland, there was a very strict hierarchical system, in the past, everyone did not believe in the idea that everyone was equal, everyone only believed that people were born different, and their status was completely different. And people of different ranks and statuses not only have great differences in treatment, but also pay great attention to clothing. For example, the dragon robe was the exclusive property of the emperor, and the nobles could wear silk silk, but the commoners were only qualified to wear cloth clothes.
Careful netizens may find that in the costume dramas we watch today, the accessories worn by concubines and women of different statuses are also very different, in fact, this is also a manifestation of ancient rank and etiquette. The headdresses worn by women are collectively known as phoenix crowns, and during the Han Dynasty, only empresses could wear ones carved with phoenixes to show her noble and different identity.
However, after the Tang Dynasty, the phoenix crown seemed to become a fashion, common, and even the palace women of the harem could wear it, but the specific styles and styles still had identity differences.
Nowadays, we see in the TV series that the concubines carry the delicate phoenix crowns, most of which are machine-carved. But in ancient times, there was no such technique, so carving a phoenix crown not only tested the craftsman's craftsmanship, but also was a very time-consuming thing. Therefore, the phoenix crown is enough to reflect the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen in ancient times.
Today we will introduce another story, that is, in a treasure hunting program, a rural woman wearing a phoenix crown went to treasure hunting, but was suddenly reprimanded by experts and quickly took it down. Is it that in the minds of today's experts, they are still very concerned about the ancient ritual hierarchy?
In fact, no, the reason why the experts are unhappy and will quickly let the woman take the crown down is because the experts are eager to protect the treasure. If you accidentally drop this phoenix crown, the gems and fragments set on it are likely to be knocked down, and the experts are also out of the protection of cultural relics, although the treasure connoisseur has just appeared at the time, the experts have not yet identified this cultural relic, but if this is genuine, once damaged, it is a huge loss to our cultural relics community.
Because we also mentioned earlier that the production of phoenix crowns is difficult and takes a long time, most of the phoenix crowns in the antique market are fakes, or products of the modern era, and it is not easy to have a genuine product.
Although the aunt felt a little embarrassed after being criticized by the experts, and her face was a little hanging, she immediately followed the experts' advice and took off the phoenix crown. According to the big mother, this phoenix crown was the empress dowager cixi, who gave it to a little palace girl, and now she didn't know what kind of tossing and turning, before it was exiled to the people, and this rural aunt also spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it.
In fact, this story is a bit unable to stand up to scrutiny, but the experts are still very serious about the identification of this phoenix crown, and the final result is also regrettable, this phoenix crown is a fake. It's not even a copy, it's made of alloy, and the gems on it are plastic.
It was difficult for my aunt to accept this fact for a while, after all, she spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it. Therefore, antique collectors should also polish their eyes, and when they do not have strong identification ability, they still have to do what they can. The most important thing is to beware of being deceived.
