after a super embarrassing five-year overhaul, the Henan Museum was "bombed by the king" when it opened its doors. Many of my schoolmates made a special trip from all over the country to get a sneak peek. They said that few people in the country dare to call themselves "museums". It seems that apart from the Forbidden City in Beijing and Taipei, there are Nanjing, Shanxi, Hebei and Xi 'an. Thick Henan, the top cultural relics can be seen like stars, and the first phalanx will do its part. In addition to accompanying the tour, I have been there several times alone. It's more convenient to be alone, you don't have to drive, the bus goes straight, and the round trip is only two yuan. The rare "treasure of the town hall" with nine stars in a row is now presented one by one according to its approximate year of birth-
No.1 Jia Hu bone flute: Neolithic age, 23.1 cm long, with seven holes; In 1987, the Jiahu site in Wuyang County was unearthed. Jiahu site is 78~9 years ago, which is the richest prehistoric settlement site in the same period. More than 3 bone flutes made of red-crowned crane ulna have been unearthed. There are two, five, six, seven and eight flute holes, most of which are seven holes. Jia Hu bone flute is the earliest musical instrument unearthed in China at present, and it is also the earliest musical instrument that can be played in the world. Its excavation rewrote the music history of pre-Qin and even the whole music history of China. It is said that the bone flute can still play very complicated music. Every time I see this flute, I think of "the joy of Ge Tianshi in the past, when three people fuck the oxtail, they are full of songs" in Lv Chunqiu. In my imagination, this most primitive farm play must be in tune with the rhythm of the bone flute. I can't help but want to catch it in my hand through the glass, but unfortunately I can only brag.
No.2 Du Ling Fang Ding: In the early Shang Dynasty, it was 87 cm high, 61 cm at the mouth and weighed 64.25 kg-this weight, I think I can carry it; In 1974, it was unearthed in the cellar of Zhangzhai South Street in Zhengzhou City. Du Ling Fang Ding is a bronze heavyweight with the earliest age, the largest volume, the most perfect casting and the most complete preservation. Therefore, it is not only an ordinary bronze ware in the early Shang Dynasty, but also the first bronze civilization monument created by China and even the world in the human bronze age. Among the bronze ritual vessels found in China, Du Ling Fang Ding was also the first to be decorated with gluttonous patterns and nipple patterns. I don't know why, but the sign displayed by Shengbo was "Fang Ding with bronze on the face of an animal's breast nail", and I asked the security guard to confirm it. Just as "Simuwu Dafang Ding" has long been agreed to be popular, I have always rejected the title of "stepmother Wu" psychologically. I think at least, it should be marked with "used name"
No.3 Fu Hao Yan Zun: In the late Shang Dynasty, her height was 45.9 cm, her caliber was 16.4 cm, and her weight was 16 kg. In 1976, the tomb of Fu Hao in Yinxu, Anyang was unearthed. Fu Hao Tomb is the only tomb of the Shang royal family that has never been excavated in Yin Ruins, and it is also the earliest tomb that has been discovered in China so far and can accurately determine the identity of the tomb owner. Owls are owls, and ancient China called them the God of War. The difference with owls is that the latter is the general term for birds flying at night. Its tail pokes on the ground, just like its paws, which is impossible in reality. The craftsman is so creative that he highlights his majestic demeanor, which is vivid and vivid. There are owls in Shanxi Museum. In contrast, Jin owls are cute and arrogant. As a layman surmises, the "great event of the country" in the era of women and good health is a typical "worship and military".
No.4 iron sword with jade handle: in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the overall length was 34.2 cm, of which the body length was 22 cm and the handle length was 12.2 cm; In 199, the tomb of Guo Ji was unearthed in the Guo cemetery in Sanmenxia. The excavation of this sword has pushed the history of iron smelting in China forward for nearly 2 years, so it is called "the first sword in China". Archaeology divides the long human society into three stages: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, which correspond to the three social forms of primitive society, slave society and feudal society in history. This sword has a jade handle, a copper core and an iron body, which combines yesterday, today and tomorrow. Its discovery indicates that the iron ware, as a new representative of social productive forces, has sprouted, which indicates that the bronze age in China is coming to an end and the iron age is coming. Unfortunately, iron rusts easily, and the jade handle has fallen off. The so-called "repairing the old as the old" is to show people with such an ugly appearance.
No.5 Lotus Crane Square Pot: In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was 12cm high, 31cm in diameter and 64.28kg in weight; In 1932, it was unearthed in Lijialou Village, Chengguan, Xinzheng. It was with this batch of "Zheng Gong Yi Qi" that Feng Yuxiang ordered to build a museum in Kaifeng for the purpose of saving the Expo. Some scholars said, "This pot is full of strange traditional patterns, which gives people nameless oppression and can almost suffocate. It is an example of arranging lotus petals on the second floor around the lid of the pot, with plants as the pattern, and before the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been seen only in the rest of the country. In the center of the lotus petals, a fresh and elegant white crane is re-established, flying its wings and making its beak sound like a song. This is when the early Spring and Autumn Period emerged from the semi-mythological era of Yin and Zhou Dynasties, and all social situations and spiritual cultures were truthfully expressed. China's artistic aesthetics has been based on the real nature for more than a hundred years before Confucius, highlighting the lively, vivid and natural image and becoming an independent expression, leaving the decoration, patterns and patterns at the foot. Hehe, there is a handicraft in my study that is reduced by 1 times, so small that it has no momentum.
No.6 moire copper bar: in the Spring and Autumn Period, the height was 28.8 cm, the length was 13 cm, the width was 46 cm, and the weight was 94.2 kg; In 1978, No.2 Tomb of Xiasi in Xichuan was unearthed. These cases, which seem to be tea tables, are cases of wine containers, which started in the early Western Zhou Dynasty and ended in the Warring States Period. The reason why it is called "Prohibition" is that Zhou Wenwang thought that Xia and Shang Dynasties were all killed by the monarch's indulgence in debauchery, so he awarded the earliest prohibition order "Liquor" in China. It is said that only three pieces of "Prohibition of Alcohol" remain, and the other two pieces are in new york Museum and Tianjin History Museum. The whole object was cast by lost wax method. According to the literature, the earliest time for China to use the lost wax process was Tang Huiyao in the early Tang Dynasty, saying that Kaiyuan Tongbao was cast by the lost wax method during the reign of Emperor Gaozu Wude. Therefore, it is generally believed that the lost wax process in China originated from India. The birth of this ban pushed forward the history of lost wax casting in China for 11 years-the tomb owner was Geng, the son of Chu Zhuangwang, who died in 552 BC, so the casting age should be no later than this year. Therefore, the academic circles believe that this technology was quite mature in China at least 2,5 years ago. It is not imported, but one of the three traditional casting techniques inherent in China.
By the way, among the nine treasures of Yubo, bronze ranks fourth, and all of them have ups and downs of legendary life experiences. Du Ling Fang Ding, Fu Hao Yan Zun and Lian He Fang Hu were all unearthed in pairs at that time. For various unspeakable reasons, a tripod and a statue are now hidden in Guobo and a pot is now hidden in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Due to the craftsmanship at that time, its height is slightly different. Some schoolmates don't know why and ask me, "Which is true?"? The advent of the moire copper ban is a lonely one, and it is said that the covetous Haruko is three thousands of feet. Some people say that Henan people are "not smart enough, but simple enough", so they take the initiative to offer a group of five lost wax bronzes as a "hush money" to give up their thoughts. What is this called?
No.7: In the early Western Han Dynasty, it was 5.14 meters long from north to south, 3.27 meters wide from east to west, with an area of 16.8 square meters; In 1987, the tomb of Shiyuan in Wangling District of Liangguo Mountain in Yongcheng was unearthed. This is the mural in the main room of the tomb bought by Wang Liumai, the son of Liang Xiaowang in the Western Han Dynasty. "Lapras is awkward and tall." In the decorative picture, the four gods, Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Monster, roam the sky against the backdrop of Xiangyun, Lotus and Ganoderma lucidum, full of movement. This mural is not only the earliest, largest, highest-level and most well-preserved mural seen in China at present, but also a magnificent epic bearing the immortal thoughts of China in the early Western Han Dynasty, so it is known as "Dunhuang before Dunhuang".
Perhaps because of deliberately reducing the illumination, this mural has a dark background and no low beam illumination, so the effect is very dim. We have to use "Meitu Xiu Xiu" to fill the light and enhance the saturation, but the sense of shock is still greatly reduced. If I curate, I'd rather spread it on the ceiling.
No.8 Wu Zhao Golden Bamboo Slips: In the early Tang Dynasty, it was 36.2 cm long, 8 cm wide, .1 cm thick and weighed 223.5 g; In 1982, Junji Peak of Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue was unearthed. The emperors of China in the past dynasties sacrificed and worshiped the famous mountains in China for the sake of the country, the people and the immortals. It is the bounden duty of the son of heaven to communicate with heaven. Burying the slips and books engraved with the heart of the son of heaven was once an important content of sacrifice and meditation activities. The slips and books presented to the sky are the "private words" of the emperor and the emperor and the "top secret" of the country. Because of this, it was secretive at that time, and it was difficult for future generations to find it. Historians had no access to information and ancient books were not compiled. However, this ancient and mysterious door of "communication between man and nature" was opened by the unexpected discovery of a drug collector named Qu in Dengfeng County. -"It said:' Wu Zhao, the Lord of the Great State of Zhou, loves the truth and is immortal. He wishes to visit the high mountain gate of Zhongyue and Song Dynasty, throw a golden slip, and beg the three officials and nine governments to exonerate Wu Zhao.' Tai sui Geng Zi Jia Shen Shuo on July 7th Jia Yin, the little envoy Hu Chao kowtowed and bowed again. "The outline of the double profile is engraved, and there are several words created by Wu Zetian himself.
It is said that a cultural relic dealer drove Lao Qu to buy it with bundles of RMB, but the farmer resolutely donated it to the country and won a prize of 5 yuan. Hehe, I also have a copy of this golden bamboo slip in my study, which is quite exquisite.
No.9 Eguanyao azure glaze carved goose neck bottle: in the late Northern Song Dynasty, it was 19.6 cm high, 5.8 cm in diameter and 8.4 cm in foot diameter; In 1987, the Ruins of Ruyao in Baofeng Qingliang Temple were unearthed. Ruguan Kiln is an imperial kiln, which was only burned in Huizong Dynasty for about 2 years. After Jingkang, it stopped burning, the kiln mouth disappeared and the technology was lost. According to documents, Ruyao has the saying that "azure is precious, pink is precious, and sky blue is precious". The formation of azure glaze is mainly due to the perfect kiln position and temperature during the firing process, so the finished product rate is extremely low and rarely handed down. There are only 74 official statistics handed down in Ru Ci, 21, 15 and 8 in the National Palace Museum, Beijing National Palace Museum and Shanghai Expo respectively, and only one cow is like a national treasure. 25 overseas collections. It is said that when a farmer's sweet potato cellar collapsed, the "treasure" was discovered. This is the only complete azure glaze unearthed in the archaeological excavation of the site, so it can be described as a rare treasure and unparalleled. Although it was not circulated in an orderly way, it was a rock-breaking event once it came out.
There are more than 17, sets of cultural relics in the provincial museum, especially prehistoric cultural relics, Shang and Zhou bronzes, ceramics, jade articles and stone carvings of past dynasties. Among them, there are more than 5, national first-class and second-class cultural relics, some of which can be called "the heavy weapon of the country". Such a place is worth coming again, and I believe that every time you come, there will be something new. Zhengzhou mutton Huimian Noodles, Hu spicy soup, steamed stuffed bun, Schizonepeta and other special foods are all delicious and not expensive.
