As we all know, China has a long history. In the long history of thousands of years, many cultural relics have been handed down. Many known cultural relics have been collected in museums in all corners of the country, but some of them have been lost to the people and even abroad because of the war, which inevitably makes people feel distressed and sigh. The historical relics collected in museums all over China are very lucky. Almost every province has its own museum, especially Shanxi. As a developed area in ancient dynasties, the cultural heritage of this area is very profound, so the number of museums and cultural relics collected in Shanxi is very large now.

The Treasure of Shanxi Museum Town Hall-"Chicken"

As long as there is a museum, there is usually a "treasure of the town hall". Today, I will tell you about a "treasure of the town hall" collected in the Shanxi Museum. This "treasure of the town hall" must be unexpected, because it is a "chicken" and a coffin, and many people are very curious. How is this possible? Since it is a "treasure of the town hall", how can it be a "chicken"? Don't believe me, because that's the truth. Let's talk about this "chicken" which was designated as the "treasure of the town hall" by Shanxi Museum.

After investigation, I realized that it really looks like a chicken now, but compared with a "chicken", many people are willing to say that it is a bird, and it is said that this bird is the most expensive bird in China, and it is also the only one. Because it is valuable, very precious and special, it has been collected in museums and forbidden to go abroad for exhibitions. It also has its own exclusive name, called Jin Migratory Bird Zun. It is a precious bronze ware, which was used to hold wine in ancient times. Its appearance is very beautiful and very imposing. According to experts, it was in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is enough to prove that in ancient times, the casting technology was very mature and advanced. Many people have lamented that the ancient people were too clever and could not help admiring our culture.

"Chicken" is called Xiahou Bird Zun.

The bird statue of Jin Hou was unearthed in the mausoleum of Jin Hou, but when it was first discovered, the tomb had been visited by grave robbers. Moreover, the means of grave robbers robbing the tomb was very simple and rude, and the tomb was directly blasted with explosives, so when it was unearthed, the bird statue of Jin had been destroyed, and it was very serious, only some fragments, and finally it was restored to its original appearance after being repaired by experts, but it still lacked a leg. In order to make it look more complete and beautiful, we have to rebuild it and install it. It is precisely because this bronze ware is unique that it becomes more precious because of its scarcity, and it has become the "treasure of the town hall" of Shanxi Museum.

Having said that, many people have begun to wonder why there is another coffin that is also a "treasure of the town hall". Isn't it enough to have the most expensive "chicken" in China? Having said that, we must talk about the history of Shanxi. Shanxi's culture is mainly concentrated in the southern region, which is now Yuncheng. In ancient times, it was also the most active place for people, and the cultural heritage was naturally very profound, especially the unearthed bronzes, which were very rich in variety. In addition to the representative bird statue of the Jin Dynasty, there were also rabbit statues, pig statues, owl statues and so on, and they all looked very good.

Another treasure of the town hall-the stone coffin of Yu Hong's tomb.

Later, because of the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, Shanxi also became an important area to enter the Great Wall. After coming to the Tang and Song Dynasties, Shanxi began to build a large number of buildings. Now, when traveling to Shanxi, there are still a large number of historical buildings built in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Nowadays, it is also a tourist attraction for people. However, Shanxi has experienced many turmoil and wars for thousands of years, but fortunately, there are still many cultural relics preserved and many precious cultural relics. Therefore, there is not only one "treasure of the town hall", except the bird statue of the marquis of Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is a huge thing in the Shanxi Museum, which is the stone coffin of Yu Hong's tomb.

1999, the archaeological team came to Wangguo Village, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, because an ancient tomb was discovered here. After the excavation by experts, it was determined that the owner of this tomb was Yu Hong. After a lot of investigations, it was found that he was actually not from the Central Plains, but a Sogdian from a country called Yu. During the Sui Dynasty, he served as the national "check school Sabao House" Mainly responsible for the management of some Sogdians who came to China to do business. After his death, later generations buried him in Taiyuan. After the excavation by experts, it was found that his coffin was the most valuable in the tomb. Why is it valuable? Because this coffin is not an ordinary stone coffin.

The research value is enormous.

This is a coffin made of white marble, with a large number of exquisite patterns carved on it. After careful investigation and analysis, experts found that these patterns have strong Central Asian characteristics. The patterns show a story of Yu Hong and his wife. In the patterns, Yu Hong is a foreigner's face. He and his wife are having a banquet in Heaven. Suddenly a lion disrupted this beautiful picture, and then a lion and a man fought.

Although this coffin has gone through thousands of years of history, the patterns on it are still clearly visible, which is very important for the value of an ancient cultural relic. Such a beautiful and complete work of art naturally has great historical research value, especially for the study of cultural exchanges between ancient China and the West. Therefore, it is understandable that it is regarded as the "treasure of the town hall" of Shanxi Museum.
