As the saying goes, "prosperous antiques, chaotic gold", now people live a rich life, many people like to collect some antiques. However, the collection of antiques requires a certain degree of professional knowledge, many people do not understand this knowledge is easy to be deceived, and even some people specialize in counterfeiting antiques for a living. There is also a saying in antique circles called "open for three years, open for three years", which shows how deep the water in collecting antiques is.
For most ordinary people, the antique industry is too deep to see the liveliness. However, for those antique collectors, sometimes they know that they may be deceived, and they can't help but take a shot when they encounter their favorite antiques. There will be a market if there is demand, because many people do not understand the knowledge of antiques, so many TELEVISION stations have also launched treasure columns, inviting cultural relics experts to help the audience identify the antiques in their hands.
Seriously, the treasure show really doesn't know what to watch, and I'm shocked to see it. Since the beginning of the rise of the treasure hunting program, it is simply a variety of gods, all kinds of strange things have appeared, and some even the treasure masters have been shocked to see it. For example, there was once a man who took Li Yuanba's double hammer to identify the treasure, which caused the audience to laugh, and the audience did not laugh after the expert appraisal. Only then did he understand that the man said that this was Li Yuanba's double hammer, but it was just a kind of his statement, Li Yuanba's double hammer weighed eight hundred pounds, compared to the double hammer that the man took to identify it was too pocket-sized. He just wants to use this exaggerated statement to increase the value of the double hammer, which is very common in antique circles.
According to the experts' appraisal, this pair of double hammers naturally cannot be Li Yuanba's warhammer, and the age is not from the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the Qing Dynasty, which is not far away from now. Although this is also an antiquity, it is actually not precious. Because the workmanship of this pair of double hammers is very poor, it is not officially manufactured, but belongs to the inferior weapons made by the people. Of course, its main role cannot be used to go to the battlefield, but it is used by jugglers to sell art in the streets. Although it has a certain collection value, it is not worth much, and the man also agrees with the expert's words.
In ancient times, the hammer was actually a rare weapon, and almost no one would be stupid enough to use this weapon to the battlefield. Because in the era of cold weapons, especially in the battle between the two armies on the battlefield, one inch long and one inch strong, holding a pair of double hammers may not have touched the enemy, and it was first stabbed by the enemy's spear. What were the really powerful weapons on the ancient battlefield? Ordinary soldiers used spears, and military generals used horse mallets, and this weapon was particularly popular during the Sui and Tang dynasties. In ancient times, almost all the masters of the horse mallet were concentrated in the Sui and Tang dynasties, such as Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Li Cunxiao and so on.
Speaking of which, most of the people's understanding of this period of history in the Sui and Tang dynasties may come from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Just like many people regard the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Sui and Tang Dynasties" is only a novel, although it has a certain historical background, but in fact, many plots are fictional by the author. For example, in the "Sui and Tang Dynasty", Qin Qiong used a pair of copper hammers, two of which weighed 65 kilograms each, adding up to 130 kilograms, which was his famous weapon. In fact, Qin Qiong was good at using horse mallets, and it was impossible to take a pair of 130-pound copper hammers to the battlefield, and no one made such a heavy weapon move.
Li Yuanba is actually a character in the "Sui and Tang Dynasty", or the first master in this novel, and his famous weapon is a pair of double hammers. It's just that there is no Li Yuanba in history, he is a fictional character of the author, not only the first fierce general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but also the head of the Eighteen Good Men of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Legend has it that he was the reincarnation of the golden-winged roc eagle, with a face like a sick ghost, a bone as thin as wood, four elephants in his arms, no one could beat him, and the double hammer he used weighed eight hundred pounds.
Although Li Yuanba was brave and invincible, his ending was also more tragic, and when he returned to Chang'an, he raised his hammer and cursed the sky, and died in a thunderstorm and thunderbolt. The historical prototype of Li Yuanba is actually Li Yuan's third son, Li Xuanba, who is brotherly with Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and others.
There are not many records of Li Xuanba in the history books, only that he died a year before Li Yuan's Jinyang army, and he was only 15 years old when he died. Later, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty as emperor and posthumously made Li Xuanba the Prince of Wei. Because Li Xuanba died prematurely and had no heirs, Li Yuan also ordered that Li Shimin's fourth son, Li Tai, be passed on to Li Xuanba in order to inherit Li Xuanba's incense. In history, there was no Li Yuanba, and Li Xuanba died prematurely, and even his heirs were not left, so naturally there could not be any double hammers circulating in the world.
