Since the hit "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", the vast number of melon-eating masses have transformed into Tang Dynasty detectives to get a glimpse of Tang Dynasty customs and life. And whether the props that flashed by in the play were unintentional or carefully designed by the crew, let us reveal them one by one.
Stills from "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an"
A volume of edicts unveiled the prelude to the "24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism in Chang'an".
Edicts are a collective name for edicts issued by ancient emperors (saints), the well-known Holy Will. The common sense of the people whose edict begins with "Under the Door..." is contrary to "Fengtian Transport, Emperor Zhao", which is in line with the format of the Tang Dynasty edict.
The edicts of the Tang Dynasty were divided into seven forms: booklets, book-making, consolation books, edicts, and edicts, which were examined and promulgated by menxia provinces, so the beginning of the edict was often the word "under the door". In the Song Dynasty Song Minqiu's "Tang Dynasty Edict", this kind of book making abounds. The earliest use of "Fengtian Carrying Emperor's Edict" as the starting sentence of the holy will was Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

The four-string pipa shown in the play is played by a woman with a pluck, and the pipa shape is a good restoration of the tang dynasty four-string lute shape, and the shape should refer to the Tang four-string pipa stored in the Shosoin Temple in Japan.

The Tang Dynasty pipa was divided into four-stringed and five-string straight terms. Bai Juyi's "Pipa Line" in "The song finally closes the heart painting, the four strings are like a crack" describes this kind of four-string lute. However, the shape of the actors in the play is not yet rigorous, and the pipa played in the Tang Dynasty is mostly horizontal and the head is facing down. For example, "Tang Dynasty Palace Music Map", after five generations, it gradually evolved into a horizontal hug, and the head of the piano was raised, such as "Han Xizai Night Feast Map".

Fish charms
Chang'an Jiao, who was offline early in the first episode, is evocative. The goldfish bag he was robbed of was undoubtedly the top couture luxury piece of his time. Goldfish bags are used to hold fish charms.
The fish symbol is the identity card of the Tang Dynasty official, and the surname of the person in charge of the Tang Dynasty is Li, so the fish symbol is a carp-like "Li" and "carp" harmonic sounds. The goldfish charm is the exclusive and luxurious status symbol of high-ranking officials, refined from metal, divided into two pieces on the left and right, and inscribed with information such as the official's name, position and rank.
The Nautilus cup used by Jiao Sui was quite eye-catching. This cup is not shaped like a parrot, but is made from the nautilus in the conch. The Nautilus got its name because its entire spiral-shaped shell was smooth as a disc, resembling a nautilus's beak.
The shape of the play refers to the most famous Nautilus cup in China, which was excavated from the tomb of Wang Xingzhi and his wife in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Parrot cup
Superstar Li Bai once wrote in the work "Xiangyang Song" that "Cormorant, Parrot Cup." Thirty-six thousand days in a hundred years, three hundred cups a day. Jiao Sui and Li Bai are both "eight immortals in drinking", and perhaps Jiao Sui's cup was once used by Taibai.
Lin Jiulang's status is respected, and the tableware used for feasting is naturally exquisite. The Tang Dynasty really entered the era of porcelain, with celadon and white porcelain prevailing, most famous for the Yue kiln and the Xing kiln.
The porcelain used in the play mostly refers to the five generations and two Song dynasties.

In the play, the soldiers used a large number of ring head knives, and the shape should be a reference to the Tang knife unearthed from the tomb of Dou Jiao.
Ring head Tang knife, ring head, narrow body, long blade, straight back, in the Jinge iron horse traversed for thousands of years. The knife is a Tang military standard saber, its production process is strict, and the combat thief is invincible.
The ring head knife is named after the ring head of the knife handle, and the decoration on the ring head is therefore particularly important. Skilled craftsmen use infinite wisdom and imagination to beautify the ring head. They use carving, wrong gold, gilding, casting and other methods to create a variety of styles.
There are usually the following types: one is to carve flowers and plant patterns, cloud patterns, turtle back patterns, etc.; the second is to carve animal shapes such as cranes, deer, tigers, eagles, camels; third, gods and monsters, such as dragons, phoenixes and evil spirits; fourth, three-leaf fern grass, three-base ring patterns, etc.
However, the reasons are close to being lost.

In the play, the Tang army mostly used the arm crossbow, the sniper rifle of the Tang Dynasty. According to the way of tensioning strings, the crossbow in ancient China can be divided into arm crossbow, stepping crossbow, waist crossbow and bed crossbow.
Zhang Xiaojing's dark pile Xiao B specialty is the wangshan of adjusting the crossbow. As a long-range weapon, if the crossbow can only shoot far, but not accurately, then the power in actual combat will be greatly reduced. Wangshan is a simple aiming system of the crossbow, and the crossbowman aims through the method of looking at the mountain, the arrow, and targeting the three points and one line, as recorded in the "Mengxi Pen Talk", "to look at the end of the eye, to look at the mountain, to quasi-high and low" .
Zhang Xiaojing flashed a crossbow when he recalled fighting the Turks.
As a heavy artillery in the cold weapon era, the bed crossbow first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, and its popular use was in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty Du You's "General Code", this crossbow was called "car crossbow", and after the Song Dynasty, it was commonly called "bed crossbow". The Northern Song Dynasty once had a "three-bow and eight-ox bed crossbow", which required more than 100 people to twist the shaft and tension the string, and the arrow was as large as a javelin, and the range could reach more than 1500 meters.

Lin Jiulang's bodyguards were equipped with a three-piece set of Tang Dynasty guards: bows and arrows, Hulu (arrow bags), and horizontal knives. Among them, the leopard-print crescent moon object hanging from the waist of the guard is the leopard Tao.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the crescent-shaped bow tao became a popular product in the military camp. Most of the bow bags used for this kind of bow are tiger or leopard prints, which are sewn from tiger skin or leopard skin, highlighting the bravery of soldiers.

In the Tang Dynasty, infantry shields were mostly pentagonal long shields.

In the play, Long Bo uses an iron bone. Iron Bone Duo was a kind of hammering weapon in the Liaojin Dynasty, mostly forged of metal, with radial blades to enhance lethality. Usually, each Khitan soldier would have his own iron bone, and the Dangxiang and other tribes were also equipped.

The play shows an ancient magic chronograph tool fire alarm clock. Its working principle is that the incense is placed in the bell, several metal balls are installed in the designated position, and the metal plate is placed under the incense, and when the incense line is broken, the metal ball will fall into the metal plate and make a crisp sound. The clock has a time scale, which constitutes a "fire alarm clock".
In the play, the fire alarm clock did not choose the incense and used incense, which is the same as the "dragon boat incense leak" in the Song and Yuan Dynasties (on the ship, the incense is set up, and a thread is burned every quarter of an hour, and the two iron beads buckled on the line fall down and make a sound). The shape refers to the Tang Dynasty gilded dragon in the Xi'an Museum, and the degree of reduction can be said to be very high.

The glass used by Yuan Zai and Feng Dalun to drink in the play is based on a glass bowl excavated from Li Xian's tomb.
The glass bowl excavated from Li Xian's tomb was first formed by blowing, and then the round ornament of the bowl wall was carved with carving technology, and finally the outer wall of the bowl was polished and polished, which was an extremely delicate soda-lime glassware. Such a complete and exquisite glass bowl of the Sassanid Dynasty shows the corruption of the Burning Fire Gang in the play.

As a big data computer for the human body in the Tang Dynasty, Xu Bin also had to use advanced tools for his work. Most of them are made of wood, iron, jade, bone, and ivory. In the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that civil and military officials must have a sack and carry it with them in a bag or pen holder.
In the play, the Tang Army's military flag Sanchen Banner appears.
The Three-Star Banner is the Sun, Moon, And Stars Banner, and the Sun, Moon, and Stars are called the Three Stars, and painting these on the flag represents the most noble and noble symbol that the ancients could imagine. The "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" once recorded that "the Three Chen Banners, Zhao Qimingye". Therefore, the Three Chen Banner represents the top national flag of the imperial era.

In the play, the prince rewards the eunuch with a Kaiyuan Tongbao gold coin.
Gold coins were unearthed in Hejia Village
Kaiyuan Tongbao was a circulating currency of the Tang Dynasty, mostly copper. The Tang dynasty government also minted gold and silver Kaiyuan Tongbao for royal collections and court rewards.
In the play, the silver pot carried by Li Bi is a copy of the famous luxury of the Sheng Tang Dynasty - the gilded dancing horsebit cup silver pot. The pot was excavated in 1970 in Hejia Village, Xi'an, Shaanxi. Both sides of the body have a dancing horse's bit cup pattern, and the whole body is gilded.

According to the "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor", Tang Xuanzong loved dancing horses the most, and there were hundreds of horses in the palace. On Xuanzong's birthday, there will be dancing horses in the palace. At the end of a hot dance, the macho will hold a glass full of wine to wish the emperor a happy birthday. The shape of the dancing horsebit cup is to restore the scene at that time.
