Chapter 881: Divine Decree Gold Medal
No wonder Chen Jianghua is excited, he is a researcher, he has been with Nong Bosheng for more than ten years, and the teacher's habits have been learned.
In fact, he is quite young, and he is already a real academic historian, and his first thought when he sees a truly important cultural relic is to bring it back to China: this piece of gold can no longer be described as "rare", it can be said to be unique!
If it weren't for his teacher being Nong Bosheng, it would be almost impossible for him to recognize it, you must know that the current Huaxia, unless you look at the words engraved on it first, otherwise anyone who can know what kind of thing this is may not be able to reach the number of two hands!
Here Zhang Nan saw Chen Jianghua so excited, and said: "I said Comrade Jianghua, you must not have studied well, if what you said just now was known by the director of the agricultural curator, you would have to be criticized!"
Hearing this ridiculous words, Chen Jianghua reacted, but he was not embarrassed, and said: "It's wrong, it's the only one in the world!"
Zhang Nan smiled "hehe", "The experience of the agricultural curator is not ordinary, ordinary people have never seen this thing."
I heard that two sides were found in Russia more than 100 years ago, but few people even know whether they were made of gold or silver.
Later, a silver was unearthed in the country, but it is a pity that this will be in the hands of the little devil.
You can recognize it, the curator told you, it seems that he has seen it in the Soviet Union.
By the way, are those two sides gold or silver?"
Zhang Nan was also very curious, he didn't know that Nong Bosheng had seen the two sides in the Soviet Union before.
"Silver, the teacher has seen one of them in the Soviet Union, and the teacher of the other side of the teacher has said that it should also be silver, but it seems that it disappeared at the time of the October Revolution.
Unfortunately, the teacher did not recognize the Phags-pa script at the time, and did not know the meaning of the initial words on the silver medal. β
With the demise of the Mongol and Yuan Empires, the Basipa script was gradually abandoned and became a "dead script", which was gradually interpreted in the past hundred years.
This is the gold medal of the Eight Si Pa Wen Holy Decree of the Yuan Dynasty, the only gold holy decree gold medal of the Yuan Dynasty found so far among such cultural relics in the world!
If it weren't for Chen Jianghua's teacher who had seen something similar in the Soviet Union, and probably talked about and described the appearance of this kind of "holy decree card", he wouldn't have recognized it!
As for Zhang Nan......
Ten years later, he will find one side in Huaxia, so he recognizes it.
Rinse it with fresh water and dry it with a soft towel. Take an electronic scale in the kitchen and weigh it, it is exactly 350 grams, seven taels.
Rounded corners are rectangular and flaky, with a circular piercing at one end, 25.5 cm long and 8 cm wide. The average thickness is about 1 millimeter, apparently hammered out by hand, with a slight difference in thickness.
As for the fineness, as the old saying goes, "seven green, eight yellow, nine five red, yellow and white with gray and half gold", Zhang Nan preliminarily judged that the gold content of this gold medal should be six or seven percent.
I used a little force in my hand and felt the elasticity of the gold medal - this action is only done by Zhang Nan, a guy from a native master's background, Chen Jianghua looked a little frightened.
"Don't worry, it's very soft, it should be a gold and silver alloy, and it is estimated that no copper is added. β
If copper is added, the elasticity will be much better.
Chen Jianghua was speechless: Even if this Mr. Zhang's action range is very small, he is not afraid of cracks in this brand!
If there is a "pop", there is really no place to cry!
Zhang Nan doesn't care about this, gold is like that in his own eyes, and it is the same if he says it is a "holy decree".
The gold is a small meaning, and the words are interesting: the one that can be understood is engraved with 6 Chinese characters of "Zhang Zi No. 88" on the round piercing edge with an outer diameter of 5 cm and an inner diameter of less than 2 cm.
On the front and back of the sign, there are two lines of Basiba text.
Zhang Nan "recognized" a few Ba Si Pa Wen many years ago, and that was because of playing Yuan Dynasty coins, which was almost memorized by rote, but leaving Fang Kong Qian was blind!
It is very interesting to note that a "Zhizheng Tongbao" in the Paspa script can be recognized, and I will write these four on a blank piece of paper and show them to him... Sorry, I don't recognize it.
As for the Phags-pa script on this gold medal, I really don't know any of them.
Zhang Nan didn't know him, and Chen Jianghua didn't recognize him, so it was estimated that even if the Agricultural Expo was promoted, it wouldn't be okay. Comrade Curator is a genuine director of the Southern Museum, and in his usual work and research, he has found more cultural relics with Basi Pa in the Inner Mongolia area.
If you can't touch it at work, who will study it, is it idle and have nothing to do?
I don't recognize it, I don't know it.
At this time, Chen Jianghua was saying: "I have read the information, and the front of the silver medal that was taken away by the little devil was in Chinese 'God-given Emperor Genghis Holy Decree'. On the back is the Khitan script, which means 'Yisu, Walking Horse or Fast Horse', and this gold medal has to be interpreted by someone who knows the Ba Si Pa language. β
"Is it good to find?"
Zhang Nan asked.
It is said that the Department of Mongolian and Ancient Languages and Literatures of Inner Mongolia University used to take Basi Pa as an elective course for students before and after the special period, and there will be no fewer people who can read Ba Si Pa than those who know Jinwen. β
"That's good. β
As he spoke, Zhang Nan flipped over and over the heavy gold medal in his hand and looked at it, "Actually, I can guess what this means: the emperor's holy decree is inviolable, and whoever wants to disobey it will be executed!"
Chen Jianghua smiled, "It's direct enough." β
He meant guessing.
"Direct, simple, and rude, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty didn't like this. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed to like this tune, he was uneducated, it seemed that a pirate came..."
Zhang Nan is an antique, not a reliable historian, he didn't think that his brain would be stuck, and he didn't know how to say it all of a sudden, embarrassed.
Fortunately, Chen Jianghua relieved the siege, "Zhu Yuanzhang likes vernacular, and the holy decrees follow the vernacular style of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Chin this. β
Zhang Nan's eyes lit up, "That's it!"
Zhu Chongba, domineering!"
"Haha" smiled, I don't know if this is a legend or a historical fact, anyway, it is quite widespread.
The two also discussed the significance of the gold medal appearing on the shipwreckβif there was only porcelain and other goods on board, including blue and white porcelain, it could only be considered that it was a cargo ship with a certain background of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ilkhanate, or the small countries of the Arab world in the Middle East.
But because of the appearance of this holy decree gold medal, the historical value of this ship is very different!
There must have been an envoy or high-ranking official representing the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and the destination was probably the Ilkhanate.
But if so, the problem arises again: when the Ilkhanate was established in 1256 and Kublai Khan was proclaimed the Great Khan of the Mongols, the Ilkhanate recognized him as its suzerainty until Kublai Khan's death. Its vassals included the Kartid dynasty of Afghanistan, the post-Western Liao of Kerman, the Sultanate of RΓ»m in Turkey, and Georgia.
Kublai Khan's embryo was hung in 1294, much earlier than the customary belief that the "Zhizheng Yuan Qinghua" was produced. doesn't recognize the Yuan Dynasty as the suzerain, so why did the Yuan Dynasty's holy decree gold medal go to the Middle East?
When exactly were these blue and white porcelains fired?
What is that Yuan Dynasty envoy going to the Middle East?
Why don't you go by land and by sea?...
This is a series of questions, and the appearance of this gold medal will make experts who study the history of the Yuan Dynasty ecstatic, racking their brains, and making up nonsense... Oh, it's a bold speculation.
β... Mr. Zhang, this is one of the charms of archaeology, isn't it? β
Southerners like to use an affirmative mood after speaking.
"Hehe... I don't guess where archaeology comes from, I hope there will be more things with words below. Don't talk about this, eat first, and you will have a cabin with Boss Guan in the evening. β
In the past few days, Chen Jianghua has not returned to the "Big Shark", compared with the Ming Dynasty shipwreck, this Yuan Dynasty shipwreck is much more attractive.
Anyway, it's salvage, and miscellaneous things will be brought up, and during the voyage of the cargo ship to the Philippines and the United States, there is time for him to sort out and study.
......
The kitchen prepares Western food with elements of Chinese cuisine, which is not fine, it is similar to a large pot of dishes, full, not light, and basically heavy in taste, but the staple food is not only bread, but also a large pot of rice is prepared with a large rice cooker.
Indonesian rice, the quality is OK.
There is no need to save phone bills, Chen Jianghua reported a new discovery to his teacher: It's a pity that this will not be more than 20 years later, otherwise it will not be too convenient to send some videos and photos.
By the way, who doesn't know what those Baspawen look like.
It's a good thing to respect a teacher, but it's not a good thing to be found out by a teacher who is not good at learning!
Chen Jianghua was trained.
If it was just a leader, it might be polite to speak, but Zhang Nan watched him happily finish his report from the sidelines, and then when he was promoted by Nong Bo on the phone, he felt sad for this researcher comrade.
It's a blessing to have a teacher who is erudite, strict, and willing to teach, but it's a bit miserable to look at!
After a few minutes, it finally stopped: it wasn't scolding, it sounded like Nong Bosheng was teaching knowledge to his own students, and he probably hated iron and steel.
All heard "... I've told you about the Southern Song Dynasty... Tell me how this holy decree card is divided... Forgot all?
OK... own people, or be ashamed..."
This side should be repeatedly.
Well, probably because Chen Jianghua, a student, has a bad memory and forgot what the teacher taught him: fortunately, Zhang Nan is his own person, if he is outside, he will be embarrassed by the teacher of the agricultural curator and the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall.
I didn't expect that Comrade Curator still had such a stern side, but Chen Jianghua's expression without dissatisfaction, humbly listening to the training, and a proper picture of a strict teacher and a high apprentice, is quite harmonious.
Zhang Nan listened to it for a while and left, and made a "I'm not there" gesture to Chen Jianghua, and ran to the sun deck to fish.
After a while, Chen Jianghua came.
"What, Curator Farming?"
Zhang Nan handed him a bottle of beer from the ice bucket and asked casually.
Chen Jianghua smiled bitterly, sat on a fishing chair on the side, took a big sip, and then said, "It's okay, I've been criticized."
Mr. Zhang, this holy decree gold medal is not as important as we imagined, the teacher should have mentioned it to me a few years ago, but I forgot about it, and I gave it another lesson just now. β
"What's going on?"
Zhang Nan was puzzled, the gold medal of the Holy Decree that he had found in his previous life had been blown to the sky!
Chen Jianghua took another sip of beer and said, "That's ......."
Originally, the Yuan Dynasty inherited the official system of the Jin Dynasty, and different talismans were worn according to the level of officials. For the officials of the Yuan Dynasty, this talisman was very important, not only as a sign of rank and status, but also related to the political, economic, military, cultural and other activities of the society.
Many things in life have something to do with this brand.
The talismans worn by officials in the Yuan Dynasty are also called "holy decree talismans", and it is not wrong that the gold ones are called "holy decree gold medals".
According to the research of modern people, these holy decree talismans of the Yuan Dynasty generally have the following five functions: first, as a reward given to ministers and subordinates by kings or generals, similar to the modern "meritorious medal". This kind of talisman is generally rectangular, with different grades, different shapes and materials, and the highest level of gold talismans should be awarded by the emperor;
second, it is a symbol of power, which is equivalent to a "holy decree";
Third, it can be used as a "token", and officials who wear talismans can go down to perform official duties, and they can come to "act cheaply as if I am doing it in person";
Fourth, it is a sign of status and official rank, and has the role of a noble "identity card".
Fifth, it plays the role of a "token" in times of military emergency, and there is such a record in history: "The envoy of the military situation is urgent, and he wears a silver round charm to the post."
The official government of the Yuan Dynasty also set up a "Talisman Bureau", which made various talismans and issued them by the emperor or officials of Zhongshu Province.
Because of its different grades and functions, the shape, ornament and material of the holy decree talisman are strictly different, and there are several kinds of round and rectangular shapes, and there are gold medals and silver medals on the materials.
Is a gold medal awesome?
The minister sent the minister to the West?
At this time, Chen Jianghua said: "...... This gold medal of the holy decree, the teacher said that it is recorded in the "History of the New Yuan": Zheng, Cong 4 Pin, Zheng and Cong 5 Pin, Zheng and Cong 6 Pin, Zheng and Cong 7 Pin, Ju Yin.
The five products of officials above the fifth rank are also contained in the "Mengtar Record" of Li Heng in the Southern Song Dynasty: the first-class nobleman brought two tigers to face each other, said the tiger head gold medal, and said in Chinese characters: God gave the holy decree of Emperor Genghis and acted immediately.
Secondly, Su Jin, said: God-given Emperor Genghis Holy Decree. It is followed by a silver medal, the same as before.
Mr. Zhang, your gold medal is a thing worn by a second-class minister of the Yuan Dynasty, not a first-class boss. β
figured out the reason, Zhang Nan had to smile: The documentary, for ordinary people to watch lively, since it is already the only one in the world, as long as there is no problem with the general direction, it doesn't matter how you blow it, you have to take into account the broadcast effect and attractiveness.
The court of the Yuan Dynasty is really different, what identity do other dynasties need to use the gold waist card as a "proof of status"?
The Yuan Dynasty is good, and even a five-grade official can use it.
There are so many "Holy Decree Gold Medals" flowers, and before deciphering the words above, God knows what it does.
Chen Jianghua also had to mend the knife: "The teacher said that as long as it is plain noodles, no matter what it is used for, it can only be second-class goods."
It's the only second-class goods in the world, and if you bring it home one day, he'll go to you to see it. β
