From the Island Owner to the King

In addition to a legend, swords such as Zhanlu, Chixiao, Tai'a, Ganjiang, and Moxie have endowed China with good quality and cleanliness, and they are also very sharp, capable of cutting gold and jade, and swinging off boulders with one sword.

There is almost no archaeological value in it, and the real meaning is not comparable to a sword of Goujian, the king of Yue.

In the eyes of some archaeologists, scholars and historians, this sword is the real first sword in China.

Liu Zhenhe continued to read the paper.

He saw a lot of bronze objects in the pictures in the paper.

These bronze utensils include cooking utensils, food utensils, wine utensils, water utensils, weapons, tools and so on.

There are various types of utensils, thick and dignified, with rich and colorful patterns, and some bronze utensils are also engraved with inscriptions.

any one of them in an ordinary museum,

It is enough to become the treasure of the museum.

You know, in the history of bronze ware, Xia, Shang and Zhou are called the three dynasties.

Most of the bronze wares produced in the three generations are the actions of the state, and the craftsmanship is extremely ingenious. Because the country needs, the workers also do their best, and the state spares no expense, focusing on the quality of the utensils, regardless of the cost.

Therefore, the three generations of bronze parts are all fine products.

Every piece of bronze has a story about it.

Every piece of bronze can tell us something about that era.

For example, a bronze jue from the Xia Dynasty tells us that wine was made in the Xia Dynasty.

Through the beautifully shaped, exquisitely cast, and richly decorated bronze objects in the picture, Liu Zhenhe lifted up the fog of that dusty history.

It reveals a glorious bronze civilization that lived in the Yellow River valley of China more than 4,000 years ago.

Liu Zhenhe looked at the pictures of bronzes on the paper with a mentality like a pilgrim going on a pilgrimage.

Piece by piece of bronze. Exquisitely beautiful, under the illumination of the light, it reflects the preciousness of copper light. This kind of copper light and treasure seems to have a magical power, taking Liu Zhenhe back to the Xia Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago, to personally experience the bright and brilliant bronze civilization of the Xia Dynasty.

At the end of the paper, the appearance of a picture once again gave him a huge surprise.

This is a four-legged square tripod, with a thick and elegant shape, magnificent momentum and beautiful decoration.

There is a paragraph of text below the picture of the big tripod.

Ding Ding after the summer. The height of the tripod is 105.2 cm and the mouth length is 112.5 cm. The mouth is 75.4 cm wide and weighs 721 kg. The inner wall of the tripod is engraved with an inscription of 458 characters in 21 lines.

"Another great weapon with such an inscription." Liu Zhenhe was extremely surprised.

Liu Zhenhe interpreted the inscription.

This four-legged square tripod was cast during the reign of Xia Houhuai to commemorate and sing praises to his father.

Liu Zhenhe thought that the name of the cauldron named "Xiahou cauldron" was very appropriate and appropriate.

From the age, the degree of detail of the casters, the decoration, and the number of inscriptions on the tripod. As well as the archaeological value contained in the tripod, there is no doubt that the Xiahou Ding has surpassed the Simuwu Ding in terms of cultural relic value and significance, and has become the first tripod in China.

Liu Zhenhe is generous with his praise.

Use 'the treasure of the country, the artifact of Chinese civilization', 'the first sword of China', 'the first cauldron of China', and 'the treasure of the museum town hall' to describe the Yiqipan, Qijian, Xiahou cauldron and the cauldron in the picture. Xia Dynasty bronzes.

It can be said that the evaluation is very high. to an inescapable level.

However, this sentence is not false at all, 'Yiqipan'. 'Xiahou Ding Ding', 'Qi Jian', the bronze wares of the Xia Dynasty in the pictures can be worthy of such evaluations.

Liu Zhenhe can almost imagine that after the publication of this paper, it will have a tsunami-like impact in the international and domestic academic circles.

You must know that this is not an ordinary historical event discovered by archaeology, but a new understanding of an ancient civilization. definition.

Liu Zhenhe glanced at the name of the contributor in the upper left corner of the first page of the manuscript, Chen Rui. This is a Chinese.

Liu Zhenhe took a deep look at the name and remembered it.

Liu Zhenhe took out his mobile phone.

I took a few pictures of the pictures of 'Yiqipan', 'Xiahou Ding' and 'Qijian' on the paper.

Then, select a few contacts in the phone contact list to send these pictures to the past.

Then, Liu Zhen leaned against the chair with his entire body, closing his eyes and resting.

When I was reading the paper just now, my mood fluctuated too much and I spent too much energy on myself.

------

Yenching University.

in a history class.

On the podium, stood a professor wearing a Chinese tunic suit, with white hair and beard, but with a very strong spirit.

The professor is Wu Zhengyi, a professor of the History Department of Yenching University, a famous historian, and a researcher of the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is proficient in Chinese history and has a deep research on ancient characters.

Participated in the 'Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties Project'.

He is the same as Liu Zhenhe in terms of historiographical concepts and methods.

"Release the Ancients" advocates the reconstruction of ancient history by combining the records of ancient books with the results of archaeology.

Professor Wu stood on the podium and said to the students below, "Students, turn to page 27. In this class, we are going to talk about the concept of the divine right of the emperor, which has been "carried by the sky" for thousands of years in the Chinese dynasty.

To sum up, 'Fengtian' and 'sovereign authority' can be summed up as the ancient people's concept of the mandate of heaven.

The concept of 'Mandate of Heaven' existed long before the Shang Dynasty. For example, it is said that when King Wen of Zhou was in Qishan, there was a phoenix in Qishan and the phoenix roaring in Qishan was a good omen for Zhou's prosperity.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, this set of concepts of destiny was sorted out by Zhou Gongdan (Ji Dan) and became the political and legal basis for the founding of the country.  …

Professor Wu continued to give lectures on the podium, and his lectures were very lively and interesting.

Under the podium, the students listened very carefully and understood.

Suddenly, Professor Wu felt the phone vibrate in his pocket.

When I usually teach myself, no one will disturb me unless there is a very urgent matter.

The professor took out his cell phone.

After looking at the information, it was revealed that it was sent by Liu Zhen and the professor.

The professor clicks on the message.

Here are a few pictures, the pictures are a bit small and can't be seen clearly.

The professor lightly double-tap the phone screen with his hand.

A clear picture appears on the phone screen.

This is a bronze plate,...

Professor Wu only glanced at it, his body seemed to be electrocuted, and he was stunned, with a shocked expression on his face.

"This is Xia Zhuan!" Professor Wu almost exclaimed.

Then came a huge surprise.

Professor Wu put the phone back in his pocket, turned around and said to his classmates, "I'm sorry, classmates, I have something to do right now, this class is self-study." After Professor Wu cleaned up the textbooks on the table, he left the classroom in a hurry. (To be continued)
