Chapter 291: Move 18 Things First
Through the small hole, Xiang Weirong and the two saw a pile of bronzes inside, and many of them were very large copper tripods!
In the eyes of the Chinese people, this copper tripod should be the highest level of ritual weapon: Zhou Tianzi uses nine tripods, and the copper tripod hair here is more than this number at a glance!
Of course, these copper tripods will not be a set, they should just be "a bunch", but they are exaggerated enough. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After letting Qiu Bo and Li Panfeng outside also come to take a peek at the "world 3,000 years ago", Xiang Weirong said: "Anan, I'll come." ā
After taking the hoe and axe, Xiang Weirong quickly expanded the entrance of the cave to the extent that people could enter, and now he could see it more clearly: this cellar niche was about less than two meters square, and the height was only one meter and a half.
Li Panfeng took out the stage camera and handed it to Zhang Nan, and used the flash to take a few photos first: Zhang Nan is a native master, but since there are conditions, he must also record the most primitive first-hand information.
Because it is impossible to have enough time and record while cleaning up like archaeology: Zhang Nan simply went in and took a few more photos.
As soon as he came out, he was covered in dirt, and handed the camera back to Li Panfeng.
"Put everything you don't need in the car first. ā
As soon as he heard the squad leader's words, Li Panfeng quickly put away the camera and detector and returned to the car from the ladder.
"Anan, you command. ā
Zhang Nan took over the command and said, "First get the three big tripods in the first row in front of you." ā
The bronzes in the cellar niche are still a little regular, but because there are a bunch of small bronze mustaches squeezed under the foot of the big tripod on the west side, Zhang Nan plans to get the big tripod in the middle out first.
The height of this big tripod is about more than 50 centimeters, although it can't be compared with those super big guys who are hundreds of catties or thousands of catties, but it really took Zhang Nan a lot of effort to move this thing out of the low cave niche!
Under the light, you can see that there is half of the inscription inside the Dading, and Zhang Nan recognized the first vertical text: "Only in May of the second year".
"Forty-two years, the shape of this thing is obviously the standard utensils of the Zhou Dynasty, except for the King Mu of Zhou, who is said to have lived for 105 years, and King Xuan of Zhou 2,800 years ago. ā
Forty-two years, how many people can be kings for forty-two years?
That was nearly 3,000 years ago, when the average life expectancy was only a few years old!
Although Zhang Nan has known the research results of these artifacts for a long time, he will personally unearth them, which feels different.
"King Mu of Zhou was a hundred or two hundred years earlier than King Xuan, who lived from about 1054 BC to 949 BC, and was called Ji Man, the fifth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It is said that King Mu reigned for 55 years, making him the longest-reigning King of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
However, he should be fifty years old before becoming king, if I remember correctly, the bronzes of the Zhou Mu period unearthed so far have only been dated to 34 years, and no more than 40 years old have been found, which should be artifacts from the Xuanwang period.
If he could really live to be 105 years old 3,000 years ago, then he would really be able to go to Kunlun Mountain to see the Queen Mother of the West.
As for this King Xuan of Zhou, the son of King Ji Hu of Zhou Li, named Jing, the eleventh monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty, should have reigned from 828 BC to 783 BC. So, this should be something from around 2774. ā
Hearing Zhang Nan's calculation, Xiang Weirong immediately admired him: Awesome, you can draw such a conclusion at a glance!
In fact, Zhang Nan said that he leaked his mouth: this will not be done yet, and the reign time of the kings of the Western Zhou Dynasty is really hard to say.
Zhang Nan moved this thing, and he was also worried that the "Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Breaking Project" would start in 95, and if he couldn't show up for these things, it would be a problem for the dynasty.
Since I will forget, that project has goals: 1. To propose a more accurate date for the kings of the Western Zhou Dynasty before the first year of the Western Zhou Republic (841 BC);
2. In the late Shang Dynasty, the kings below Wuding put forward a more accurate date;
3. In the early Shang Dynasty, a more detailed chronological framework was proposed;
4. Xia Dynasty, proposing a basic chronological framework.
There is nothing to do with King Zhou Xuan at all!
King Xuan of Zhou succeeded to the throne in 829 BC, that is, in the fourteenth year of the Republic, and it was not his turn to break the dynasty.
It has something to do with King Mu.
......
If you want to carry Dading down, this requires technology: because the place where people can settle in front of the cave entrance is too small, Zhang Nan plans to move out as well.
At this time, the scheduled five-minute announcement came from the headset, and everything was normal.
"001, watch out, we're going to move something. ā
"001 understands!"
turned off the low-illumination light, and used a rope to tie up the hundred-pound copper tripod!
Qiu Bo and Li Panfeng stood on the two ladders first, and Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan worked together to hand the tripod to the two: You can't catch the tripod ear, something nearly 3,000 years ago, it would be a pity if the ear fell off if it was forced!
Qiu Bo and the two carefully moved Dading to the flat ground, and even Guan Xingquan went down to help.
Carried into the truck compartment, there is a pile of large and small wooden boxes in it, and there are a lot of fillers in the boxes: although I don't know the exact size, it is not far from eight-nine, and it is almost impossible to find a large box and stuff it in.
Quickly cram in a few pieces of styrofoam, and you're done: it's more than 1,500 kilometers back, and if you throw something into the sealed compartment, it's going to be hilarious!
When the three of them returned to the platform, Zhang Nan had already moved out a few large and small copper tripods: there was a small tripod stacked in the big tripod on the east side of the cave niche, which was less than thirty centimeters high, and the inner wall was almost covered with inscriptions!
The text is also clearer, and the first row is the words "Only three years and June"!
Zhang Nan also moved out another small tripod on the side, and then moved the big tripod below that was originally stacked.
As soon as this big guy of at least seventy or eighty pounds moved away, a small tripod was revealed behind him: he glanced at the flashlight a few times, and there were inscriptions on each piece!
Let's move!
The small one was carried by one person, and the big one was carried by two people, and when they arrived in the carriage, they found a suitable packing box and stuffed it in.
When the middle and east sides of the tripod are moved first, there are still a lot of tripods and other utensils left: Zhang Nan knows all the things here, but there are a few things that the brother-in-law can't hand over at all.
This will still be in the stage of "stealing and digging", and there is no time to explain more, but Zhang Nan still sees the stitches and tells what kind of thing they handed to Li Panfeng.
A once-in-a-lifetime thief, if you don't know what you're holding in your hands, you'll have a pimple in your heart.
"This big jar is a copper bowl, something that holds water or rice in the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty is rare, and it is rarer than Ding. ā
Zhang Nan moved out a big guy with an extravagant mouth, a deep belly, a circle of feet, and an ear, this is the glen.
One of the elephant-trunk-shaped appendages of this large copper bowl was pressed against a corner of a large copper plate inside, and the plate was still on a copper bowl stuffed into the copper bowl!
Zhang Nan first took out the big copper plate and handed it to his brother-in-law: it is big enough, with a diameter of more than 50 cm!
Then the copper cup is put out of the copper bowl: this copper cup is also very large, and the height should be 50 cm: the lid is a phoenix bird that is about to fly, and the body is a coiled dragon, the mouth is the head of the beast, and the wrench is the head of the tongue!
Exquisite, extremely beautiful!
"This is a bronze cup, which was used by nobles in the Shang and Zhou dynasties to serve wine...... This is a copper plate, pronounced yĆ, for washing hands, and used in conjunction with copper plates.
The etiquette of the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty was troublesome to death, so the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was said to be the collapse of etiquette and music......"
After taking out the copper tong, a thing for the nobleman to wash his hands, Guan Xingquan said: "This is the 18th piece, and the front ones have been put in the car." ā
Zhang Nan turned his head and saw that there was almost a third of it.
