Several buyers wiped their sweat and thanked Hu Yang.

At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Mom! ”

The voice seemed to be greatly frightened.

Hu Yang and the others looked over and saw a bomb that was slightly smaller than a gas canister, although it was only half exposed, but it also scared Hu Yang and them into sweat, and quickly took people away. And others, too, don't care about picking up treasures, and their lives are more important.

It was probably a dud, and it hadn't exploded for so long, so the likelihood of an explosion was extremely small. However, no one dares to gamble with their own lives.

In the past, it was common to see news reports of aerial bombs dug up at construction sites, or fishermen salvaging bombs, etc.

I didn't expect to be able to see it with my own eyes. If a bomb of that size explodes, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable.

"Call the police!" someone suggested.

Originally, a treasure was found here, and everyone was reluctant to let the official know. But now, who would dare to go over? If you don't call the police and let the professionals deal with it, everyone will be afraid!

Hu Yang looked at it from a distance and frowned slightly.

He looked at it with his inquisitive eyes and saw that it wasn't a bomb. So, under the shocked gaze of others, he walked towards the thing.

Andy, Ah Hao and others persuaded one after another: "Brother Hu, don't go, it's too dangerous." ”

Xu Hong and Brother Yu also nodded, disapproving of Hu Yang's risk, and Sister Yuan was even more anxious. If Populus euphratica was on the side, she would probably pull Populus euphoric's ears and drag him away.

Hu Yang turned around and gave everyone a reassuring smile: "Don't worry! That thing is not a bomb, you can come and have a look!"

Well?

Not a bomb?

It was only exposed, but it looked like it was really the same as a bomb.

Other people who were not familiar with Hu Yang saw Hu Yang walking over, and they all thought that this young man was too bold and asked for money rather than his life?

Only Andy and Ah Hao boldly followed. Andy, as Hu Yang's assistant, even if it is a bomb, he has to keep up. Ah Hao believed Brother Hu, he said no, it shouldn't be.

After Hu Yang walked over, he wiped the mud off the surface of the "bomb", and finally revealed his true face, which was made of bronze, and there were many symbols and inscriptions engraved on the surface.

"Look, it's not a bomb, right? Whose bomb is engraved on the surface?" said Hu Yang with a smile.

In the distance, vaguely hearing the words of Populus euphratica, everyone put their minds at ease and gathered around to watch the excitement. Before, it was said that it was a bomb, and the man who ran away first looked ashamed and felt very shameless.

"When was this text?" asked Hao.

Andy responded: "It's not Oracle, it's Jinwen!"

In his opinion, these two types of writing are the oldest characters, and looking at the symbols on this bronze, he can basically guess that this is an oracle bone inscription or a gold inscription.

"Oracle was a little earlier, wasn't it?" asked Hao.

Andy nodded: "It seems to be, I remember that Brother Hu said that Jin Wen is the text of the Zhou Dynasty." The oracle bone should be from the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty!"

"So this should be Oracle?"

“......”

The two sang and harmonized, which made Hu Yang cry and laugh when he heard it.

"It seems that you have misunderstood the oracle bone and the golden script. The so-called oracle bone inscription, as the name suggests, is actually the text engraved on the carapace and bones. Jinwen, on the other hand, usually refers to inscriptions on bronzes.

Of course, there is indeed a priority, with the oracle bone inscription in the first place and the golden inscription in the back. However, in both the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were oracle bone inscriptions and Jin inscriptions. It's just that because of the Zhou Dynasty, the development of bronzes was better than that of the Shang Dynasty, and there were more bronzes, so there were naturally more gold inscriptions and they were used more frequently. Hu Yang said.

If you really want to talk about the difference between the two types of writing in terms of form and stroke, there are also differences.

From the point of view of the degree of evolution of the text, the oracle bone inscription has a heavy pictographic flavor and complex glyphs, while the golden inscription is relatively simple.

From the point of view of the tools used, the oracle bone inscription is engraved on the tortoise shell and animal bones with a knife, and the strokes are very thin, and it is impossible to appear a fat pen like an ink ball, and the parts that need to be filled are generally replaced with outlines. At the same time, it is difficult to turn the turn freely, and it is generally written again in the form of a square fold.

The golden text is mainly cast with a model model, so even if the strokes are written very thinly, the casting will be doubled thicker, and the fat pen appears, and the turning point is also round and round, without edges and corners, and the knot is thick, and the lettering is relatively sharp and thin because there are two ends of the knife and the knife.

"As for the text of the Xia Dynasty, it has not been discovered for the time being. A lot of ruins of the Xia Dynasty have been discovered, but no Xia Dynasty-related texts have been excavated, which is a pity in the archaeological community for the time being. Hu Yang added.

"Could it be that the Xia Dynasty had no written language? Then it is strange, there is no written record, how do later generations know that there is such a dynasty? It is still the first dynasty in Chinese history. Someone couldn't help but ask.

Hu Yang explained: "Although the writing of the Xia Dynasty has not yet been discovered, there are various indications that the Xia Dynasty has writing, but we have not yet discovered it.

Writing is a process of continuous evolution, since the Shang Dynasty had oracle bone inscriptions, and they have been relatively mature. Well, before her, there must have been more primitive texts. The oracle bone inscription of the Shang Dynasty could never have appeared out of thin air.

In addition, before the Xia Dynasty, we find that some pottery symbols appeared in the Longshan period, with obvious textual characteristics, and some have been interpreted.

In this case, the Xia Dynasty was in the middle of these two eras, and it was impossible to have writing before and after, but there was no one in the middle. ”

As for the history of the Xia Dynasty, in addition to some discoveries from the ruins, the most important thing is that the writings of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty record the existence of such a dynasty.

Just like the Qing Dynasty, no matter how much it dislikes the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for it to completely erase the traces of the Ming Dynasty, right? Its history books will definitely have many records about the Ming Dynasty, although many of them may be smeared.

Populus euphratica cleaned it up and found that it was a bell-like bronze with an empty middle.

Not only are the inscriptions engraved on the surface, but even the inner walls are filled with a lot of text, estimated to be hundreds of words. With so many inscriptions on the bronzes, Populus euphratica was also secretly surprised.

There is no doubt that this is a very important national treasure, and no matter what museum it is inscribed into, it will immediately become a treasure of the town, even if it is the Palace Museum.

However, the archaeological value and research value of this kind of cultural relics are much higher than the collection value.

Actually, this kind of thing is not very easy for private people to collect. The inscriptions on it, the information recorded, are very important to the archaeological community, historical experts, etc.

However, Populus euphratica doesn't care about these for the time being, since he got it, let's get it away first.
