Hu Yang didn't have the heart to linger any longer, and asked a few people to help remove the bronze statue that had been mistaken for a bomb.

But it didn't take long for President Fang to call and ask about the bronze.

In fact, since the live broadcast of Populus euphratica, there is no secret at all, every time I pick up a treasure, it is quickly known, and then there are all kinds of phone harassment.

Populus euphratica is also psychologically accurate just now, after all, so many bronzes with inscriptions are very important for archaeology and historical research, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are first-class cultural relics at the national treasure level.

Then, it must be in the spotlight, and it is impossible for no one to care.

"If you pick up leaks like this, you basically can't hide any news. I took a look at this bronze and wanted to keep it in my hand, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. President Fang said to Hu Yang.

Bronzes with inscriptions, especially large ones, are basically listed as national cultural relics. It's not that there are no private collections, but there really aren't many.

Even if you have a backend, it's still a bit of a hassle. After all, it is not only the cultural relics and museums that are concerned about this kind of cultural relics, but also the archaeological and historical circles.

"Like the Nine Dragons Jade Cup, can't there be museum cooperation?" asked Hu Yang.

President Fang thought for a while: "It's not impossible, even if you finally get the right to collect, there will still be archaeologists who will visit you often, as long as you are not afraid of trouble." ”

For archaeologists, professors, scholars, etc., what they care about is not the artifact itself, but the information recorded on it.

"That's fine, it doesn't matter! President, I'd better leave it to you! You know, my worst annoyance is dealing with those people. Hu Yang said.

I have to say that President Fang helped him block a lot of thunder, and Hu Yang was very grateful.

President Fang didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone over right away to escort that treasure back and put it in the museum for the time being." It has just been unearthed and still needs to be repaired and maintained. ”

Judging from the text on the bronzes, it is an object from the Shang Dynasty.

The bronze utensils of the Shang and Zhou eras in China are not only containers for holding things, but also ritual vessels in the temple. The number of bronzes can indicate the level of status, and the size of the bronze shape can also indicate the level of power.

Bronze ritual vessels were used by the ruling class to worship their ancestors, feast guests, sing praises of virtue, and were buried underground after death. Apparently it was in the service of slave rule. For a slave country, bronze ritual vessels, especially heavy vessels such as tripods, are symbols of the community, and its survival is the survival of the country.

The one that Populus euphratica got this time has gluttonous patterns on it. The pattern is symmetrical on the left and right with the nose as the center, and has two ears, two eyes, and two horns. The head is often composed of dragon-shaped patterns on two sides, and the structure is quite ingenious. This type of ornamentation was mainly popular in the Shang Dynasty and the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

After negotiating these, Hu Yang put his mind at ease, and with President Fang's help to withstand the fire, he was relaxed.

"This is probably the earliest bronze, right?" asked Hao.

In his opinion, although there was a Xia Dynasty in front of the Shang Dynasty, it was basically dominated by oracle bone inscriptions at that time, and even if the text was found, it was probably engraved on the oracle bones. Well, bronze naturally has little development.

The Shang Dynasty belonged to more than 3,000 years ago, when bronze ware was very popular in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, which was also known as the Bronze Age, and China was in a slave society.

But in fact, before the Xia Dynasty, we still had a history in China, but there was no unified dynasty, and it was still in the era of tribes. Three-two

For example, Yangshao culture is the first ray of civilization light of our Chinese civilization. Our Chinese civilization originated from the Yangshao civilization. ”

Populus euphratica told everyone that this civilization belongs to the Stone Age.

Yangshao culture is centered on the middle reaches of the Yellow River, reaching Hubei in the south and Inner Mongolia in the north, which is a primitive culture with the greatest influence in the Yellow River Basin, which stretches for thousands of years and stretches for thousands of years, and is second to none in the world.

Before the discovery of this civilization, Westerners have always felt that ancient Chinese civilization could not be regarded as the origin of civilization. After all, China's so-called era of three emperors and five emperors was just a slave society, which was not the origin of a civilization.

It is generally believed that the Stone Age was the origin of civilization. They even speculate that Chinese culture originated in Egypt, Babylon, India, or Central Asia, and even refer to China's three emperors and five emperors as Babylonians, believing that China did not have its own prehistoric civilization at all.

It wasn't until the discovery of the Yangshao civilization that their understanding of ancient Chinese culture was broken, which was the Stone Age more than 5,000 years ago.

The excavation of Yangshao village site irrefutably proves that China not only has the Stone Age, but also is quite developed, which is a very significant achievement in the academic circles and has attracted great attention from the international archaeological community.

Subsequently, China discovered the Longshan culture, the most prominent representative of which is the black pottery with unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship, which archaeologists initially called the black pottery culture, and later named the "Longshan culture".

"Speaking of which, this is still discovered by foreigners, so it is even more convincing when it is abroad.

In the ruins of Yangshao civilization, we have found the existence of copper products. To be precise, the history of making and using bronze objects in China has been close to 5,000 years.

The Sanxingdui civilization found later is all exquisite bronzes. This civilization can also be traced back to more than 4,000 BC, a little earlier than the Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, this certainly cannot be said to be the earliest bronze ware.

China's splendid ancient civilization is not even comparable to Egypt, and this is something we can be proud of. Hu Yang said to everyone.

The more you understand Chinese civilization, the more you will be attracted by the charm of this ancient civilization. Nowadays, there are many foreigners who study ancient Chinese civilization, and they are very obsessed with it.

What they like the most is that China's civilization has never been interrupted, there is continuity, and it is more interesting to study.

Unlike other ancient civilizations, which are basically extinct, many so-called histories are actually similar to legends, and everyone is a variety of speculations, without an accurate description.

For example, in ancient Babylon, their so-called "hanging garden" has long been gone, and even the ruins cannot be found, but there is such an engineering building in the legend.

Unlike China and Egypt, which have spectacular ruins such as the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors, Egypt has pyramids. These are all good proofs, proving that they once existed, were brilliant, and were prosperous.

Listening to Brother Hu's explanation, everyone was deeply proud of the civilization created by their ancestors.

It's no wonder that Koreans always like to steal ancient Chinese culture, and they always say that it is theirs, which is really shameless.

The national pride brought by the cultural heritage is very strong, no matter how developed you are now, in the eyes of others, you are not a nouveau riche!

Just like the British, who despise the Yankees from the bottom of their hearts, this is the contempt that comes with cultural heritage.
