Funeral culture plays a vital role in the composition of ancient Chinese feudal culture and the characteristics of following the ancient history and culture. It is precisely because the ancients attached great importance to the construction of tombs. Therefore, when excavating some ancient tombs, experts can always find many excavated cultural relics of great significance from the tombs. Through the study and guidance of these artifacts, the story of the historical development of ancient society can be more accurately understood.
Around 1978, in a deep mountain in Hubei Province, a 2,000-year-old tomb was accidentally blown up.
After the burial relics in the tomb were unearthed, relevant experts said that these cultural relics are items that cannot be copied by modern technology. What is the secret behind this tomb? And what kind of special manufacturing technology does this cultural relic have?
Near a hill in Hubei, a group of workers is planning to make corresponding preparations for the construction of the factory. With the help of the open mountain blasting rock, a recessed piece of land appeared in front of everyone.
However, when the foreman saw that the land that had been blown open was brownish yellow, he was instantly excited, and he thought that there was probably an ancient tomb buried under the land.
At that time, they quickly reported the news to the relevant cultural relics department, archaeologists came to the scene, after several days of excavation and survey, found that there was a huge mausoleum buried under the land, but it was still a royal mausoleum.
After a period of cleaning and excavation, the archaeological team presented the tomb in its entirety. After some investigation and research, it was found that the tomb dates back about 2,000 years.
Because the ancient tomb was found on the drum pier, this tomb was later called the Lei Gu Dun Tomb. The most excavated in the tomb is bronze.
As we all know, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the construction technology of bronze ware reached a peak state, and at this stage, many precious bronzes appeared in our society. The most precious piece found in this mausoleum is the base of the Warring States bronze Zeng Hou Yi jian drum.
The base of the bronze Zenghou Yijian drum of the Warring States period was made using the traditional fan casting method. It is no less difficult than making a PCU in modern society. A small part of the base of the light base needs to be poured for many days to complete. Then build eight pairs of dragons and many small dragons in the surrounding area.
And the dragon of Zeng Hou Yijian Drum from design, carving to the final composition is the ultimate level of performance in all the crafts about the dragon, there is no one.
Because this cultural relic is relatively exquisite and the historical value is relatively high, it has been included in the list of cultural relics prohibited from overseas exhibition in China since it was excavated. As the pinnacle of bronze casting art in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, even in modern society, with the help of some advanced technologies, this national treasure is difficult to be successfully reproduced.
In the years after the excavation, relevant experts have studied and explored the base of the bronze Zenghou Yijian drum in the Warring States period, but due to its complex production process, there is still no substitute for it. It can be seen that even in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the overall level of social productivity was relatively low, but the technology possessed by some high-end craftsmen was also difficult for many modern people to reach.
In addition, in this ancient tomb group, many relics of bronze musical instruments have been found. Compared with the musical instruments of modern society, the musical instruments excavated from the ancient tombs of The Drum Dun have a wide range and beautiful timbre. Music from ancient and modern life can be easily played. For the study of the history of music in ancient Chinese society, the 124 ancient musical instruments excavated in the ancient tomb of The Drum Dun cannot be underestimated.
In the process of further exploration of the drum dun ancient tomb group, relevant experts said that the construction design of this ancient tomb group is extremely peculiar, and its internal main coffin is supported by painted technology. In addition, some of the techniques used to build bronze and gold also represented the highest level of the time.
In order to further explore the historical development background of that time, these excavated cultural relics are all treasured in the Hubei Provincial Museum, and the roof of the ancient tombs of The Drum Dun is also covered with pavilions. With the protection of the pavilions, most of the coffins in the tombs and coffin rooms inside were properly preserved.
Conclusion Although bronze cultural relics like this have also appeared in front of everyone in the previous archaeological excavation process, the scale of bronze cultural relics unearthed in the ancient tomb group of Drum Dun is very rare. Although in the process of the development of modern society, the level of production technology in the field of industrial production and other fields of human beings has been greatly improved, but based on the influence of the wisdom of the ancients, bronze culture is still a content that modern technology cannot reproduce. It can be seen that even in ancient society, the level of craftsmanship of Chinese is also in the world's leading state, and under the guidance of the ancients, the level of production and development in all fields of Chinese society in the future will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and successfully move towards the road of rejuvenation.
