introduction
As everyone may know, in the archaeological work on the mainland, you will occasionally find some similar "crossing" things, just as the "Tao'an Dream Memories" said: "Strange and strange." "But these things, while they may seem incredible, are real in the tombs of ancients hundreds of thousands of years ago." Some of these things have become mysteries that have not yet been solved, and some of them already know the ins and outs.
In 1990, a Warring States period crystal cup was unearthed in Shitang Village, Banshan Town, Hangzhou, which was amazing in appearance and color, and when this cup was placed in the museum, it often made people wonder if they had misplaced things. Because from any point of view, this crystal cup is extremely similar to the glass that is common today. Netizens once questioned whether the news about this crystal cup was eye-catching fake news, but in fact it was not. The crystal cup, now in the Hangzhou Museum, is the largest crystal artifact in the early days of mainland China, carved from a complete piece of crystal. It is one of the most precious cultural relics on the mainland and is forbidden to be exhibited abroad.

In 1992, a copper caliper was unearthed in an early Eastern Han Dynasty brick chamber tomb in Ganquan Township, Hanjiang County, Yangzhou City. This bronze caliper is a measuring tool in the Wang Mang period, and it has been jokingly called one of the evidences of "Wang Mang's crossing" by many netizens. Because this copper caliper is so similar to the vernier caliper used for precision measurements today. This copper caliper is ingeniously designed to measure not only the diameter of an object, but also the depth and thickness of an object. And the combination of copper calipers and vernier calipers is also strikingly similar.
There are always many mysteries in the form of shapes beyond people's imagination, including a bronze object that is very similar to the steering wheel used in modern cars, which is even more puzzling. Some people jokingly said that this is probably the steering wheel that the "aliens" of Sanxingdui used to fly the spacecraft.

In 2001, a number of Tang Dynasty tombs were discovered in Xi'an. One of the tombs is the tomb of Princess Li Ofe of the Tang Dynasty. In this princess tomb, something like a celestial alien was also unearthed at the beginning, and everyone present at the time was very surprised. The shape of the thing looked like a huge deformed head, with a row of jagged teeth on the lower part, a large crown on the head, and some stars and dots of light in the dirt. Because it didn't look like an ordinary human head, some people called it "alien skull" at the time.

The phoenix crown is a cultural relic rarely unearthed on the mainland, and most of them cannot be restored. Just from the jewelry scattered by Princess Li Wei, this phoenix crown should be incomparably exquisite. In order to restore this precious crown, the archaeologists sealed the skull of Princess Li Wei and the jewelry scattered in the crown in plaster and moved it to the studio as a whole.
In the process of repairing this phoenix crown, China also invited German experts to cooperate, which lasted for three years, and finally successfully restored this rare treasure. Xu Wei of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the "Biography of Heroes and Martyrs": "To see the treasures that have not been seen in the world is dazzling, and I do not know where I am in the world." "Everyone who has seen this restored phoenix crown has this feeling.
The exquisiteness of Li Qian's phoenix crown is simply unbelievable, the weight of this phoenix crown is not large, the overall weight is only more than 800 grams. However, there are more than 370 gemstones such as agate, pearls, amber, ivory and various small ornaments.
These parts are interspersed with gold and silver threads, and they shine brightly whenever there is light or sunlight. What is even more incredible is that this phoenix crown also has many gold beads with a diameter of one millimeter to 1.5 millimeters, and now the restorers need to use microscopes to complete the restoration work, and it is difficult to imagine how the ancients made this phoenix crown a thousand years ago.
epilogue
If artifacts could speak, we might be able to unearth more historical legends. Unfortunately, however, we can only worship the wisdom and craftsmanship of our ancestors again and again from these artifacts that seem to "cross". However, although these legendary cultural relics have disappeared, they can still experience the vast and profound splendid culture of the mainland.
