In the ancient Maritime Silk Road, countless ships have been sailed, but the ancient navigation technology is not advanced, so there have been a large number of shipwreck accidents, and now the archaeological excavations of "Nanhai No. 1", "Nan'ao No. 1", "BlackStone" and so on are sunk to the bottom of the sea.
In Fujian, there is a Pingtan County sea, it is estimated that many people should know very well, this is an important Silk Road route in ancient times, so it is true that many ancient shipwrecks have been fished out over the years, of which "Bowl Reef No. 1" is one of them.
It was in the middle of 2005, when the nearby fishermen fished here, but they fished out a few pieces of porcelain, which looked very ancient and exquisite, so this matter was quickly stabbed to the Fujian Cultural Relics Bureau, and soon the Fujian underwater archaeology team arrived at the scene, and after identifying the few pieces of porcelain, experts confirmed that these porcelains were probably from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
In July of the same year, the state officially approved the rescue excavation of the ancient shipwreck "Bowl Reef No. 1", at that time it can be said that this side is indeed very lively, so that many people in the vicinity have come to watch, and this archaeological operation is very effective, to the end of a total of more than 10,000 pieces of blue and white porcelain, and there must be at least 90 kinds of species, it can be said that for the study of porcelain cultural relics experts, it is really excited to scream.
However, when sorting out these Qing Dynasty porcelain, one of the blue and white porcelain was very special, which once made many experts feel confused and confused, and even some cultural relics experts thought that this porcelain should not be crossed, or was it accidentally left by thieves?
In fact, it is because this blue and white porcelain body actually appeared two modern simplified characters, called "Double Dragon", experts said that according to the theory, it should be engraved "Double Dragon", but it is "Double Dragon", which is not common sense, after all, there should be no modern Simplified Characters at that time.
In this way, experts in various fields have studied and discussed the "double dragon" on this special blue and white porcelain, fortunately, later historians gave the answer, we know that Chinese characters have undergone a long process of evolution, from oracle bones, gold scripts, and then to modern simplified characters, it can be said that they are becoming more and more streamlined.
And experts say that in fact, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period of the Wei stele found modern simplified characters, is it also said to be a crossing? In fact, it is not so, it should be said that as early as ancient times, the imperial court already knew the importance of simplifying Chinese characters, and simplified characters have begun to be used, but it may be that there were more folk uses at that time, and the imperial court used less.
For this reason, this blue and white porcelain is not a cross-over object, but really comes from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, indicating that the ancients had long realized the importance of simplifying Chinese characters.
