"See, Sanxingdui Bronze Divine Tree.

Three hundred and ninety-six centimeters high, nearly four meters high! There are ten branches on the tree, and on each branch perched a solemn golden crow.

There is also a bronze dragon entwined at the base of the tree, which is beautifully shaped and lifelike, and the most advanced bronze shaping technique of the era. Its exaggerated artistic expression has cast a layer of mystery on Sanxingdui culture.

Our 5,000-year-old culture has always been documented, so there is a lack of mystery, but Sanxingdui culture has no writing, and suddenly disappeared, this mysterious site has brought a trace of mystery to the Chinese culture, so that the origin of Chinese culture is more diversified.

This bronze sacred tree is also naturally included in one of the cultural relics that are permanently prohibited from being exhibited abroad. Did the young man feel shocked?"

The old man spoke wildly, and his spit was flying.

Qin Huai hooked the corners of his lips slightly, revealing an unspeakable smile-

Actually, I Qin also has a work in that ranks.

However, Qin Huai did not say it rashly, but listened to the little old man talk in a low-key manner.

Low profile.

Low profile.

Qin someone never pretended to be forced.

Seeing that Qin Huai did not show the slightest hint of so-called shock, the old man's heart seemed to be empty......

Perhaps the young man had no idea what the significance of the ban on exhibiting artifacts abroad.

But it doesn't matter, I can shock the little young man in a simpler and more straightforward way. ’

The little old man persevered and pushed Qin Huai to another window:

"It's called the Little Bronze Mask, and it's expensive. No matter which country invites it to exhibit abroad, it must pay $70 million in advance, and unconditionally, when it actually exhibits, it must also pay $70 million as the exhibition fee. Still, dozens of countries are lining up to pay their money. ”

The little old man was full of red light, his eyes showed pride, and he looked at Qin Huai.

However, Qin Huai turned a deaf ear.

"You...... Its full name is the bronze Dali statue, which is 262.8 centimeters high and weighs about 180 kilograms.........

……

This bronze statue is more than 3,000 years old!

It is also the tallest and most complete bronze statue in existence. Known as the 'King of the World's Bronze Statues'. When Britain wanted to buy it for a billion pounds, we refused. ”

The old man took Qin Huai to look at the bronze statues one by one, and every time he looked at a piece, he could tell the height, width, base area of the bronzes, when they were unearthed, and how many pieces they were broken into at the beginning......

However, the little old man's expression was like that of an old squire who showed off his treasures.

'How's it going?' 70 million dollars, a billion pounds, has it brought a flood of impact to your three views?'

The old man has the chance to win, and when he talks about this, presumably Qin Huai will let out an exclamation anyway.

However, Qin Huai was still indifferent, as if the little old man had been playing the piano to the cow.

Mr. Yan was frustrated, why didn't this young man get oil and salt?

When I took a small bronze figure to exhibit around the world, the foreign experts were all shocked, and there was no second expression. ”

So you want to see the shocked expression......

Tell me earlier.

"Wow, that's amazing, that's amazing. ”

Qin Huai cooperated with the performance and kept clapping.

Seeing that Qin Huai was finally shocked, the old man was satisfied and laughed heartily.

After laughing for a while, he remembered the point and patted the back of his head:

"Oops, I forgot my business when I was excited. Your theory of the cult of giants, if polished, can definitely make a sensational research paper.

If you want to research, I can help you in many ways, but one person has a lot of work, so I recommend that you find two scholars to work together......"

"Sir, I don't want to write a thesis. ”

Qin Huai raised his hand and rejected the old gentleman's suggestion.

Mr. Yan's face was full of puzzlement, and his expression slowly froze.

"Why don't you write it? This is a point that can cause a sensation in the archaeological community!

If you look at this bronze statue, its hands are also the image of the gigantic figure, which is the proof.

There are also many giant snakes and giant beasts in Shudi, and I found that the protruding eyes of the bronze statue of the mask are very similar to the eyes of snakes, with two thin lips, and the mouth line extends to the two jaws, which also resemble the mouth of a snake......

You see, all the inferences are well-founded, and if this paper continues to be deepened, you will become famous and become a man who carries the Chinese archaeological community. ”

The old man patted Qin Huai's shoulder encouragingly.

If it is written, as Qin Huai's first signature, he will definitely be able to become a first-line research scholar and go directly to the peak of his life.

How many archaeologists dream of this?

"Sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Qin Huai was full of slander, how could he have time to carry any archaeological world.

"How can it be troublesome? such a good research content!"

The little old man glared at Qin Huai with hatred of iron and steel, but Qin Huai really didn't get in with oil and salt, so he couldn't change his mind no matter how he persuaded him, so the old man could only choose a compromise solution.

"It's better to let my students write this paper, and the first authorship is still yours. ”

"Whatever you want. ”

Qin Huai didn't have much interest in the paper, so he agreed lightly, then turned around and walked back for a while, staring up at the Bronze Divine Tree.

So far, a total of eight bronze sacred trees have been unearthed at the Sanxingdui site.

The tallest and most complete is the one in the center of the exhibition hall.

At the bottom of the tree is a bronze dragon, winding down from the trunk, the dragon's body is graceful and colorful, and its expression is vivid and lively.

The whole sacred tree has three layers of branches and leaves, each layer has three branches, and the flowers and fruits of the branches are either upturned or drooping, lifelike.

On each of the three upturned branches stood a bird, nine in all.

There is a record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "There is Fusang on the Tang Valley, and the bath for ten days is in the north of Moya." In the water, there is a big tree, which is on the lower branch for nine days, and the upper branch for one day. ”

In other words, in the Tokai Yudani, there is a sacred tree called Fuso, and there are ten sunbirds living on the tree, and the ten golden crows take turns on duty, and every time one sun rises, the other nine rest on the sacred tree.

This bronze sacred tree perfectly matches the description in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The missing golden crow is the 'One Day Upper Branch', but the top of the Bronze Sacred Tree was destroyed, so what we see today is actually a mutilated Bronze Sacred Tree.

But even if it's a remnant, it doesn't make it one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century!

……

……

Qin Huai looked around the four excavated ruins for a long time.

"Perhaps the golden crow at the top of the sacred tree flew into the sky. Otherwise, why are the other seven bronze divine trees also missing their tops?"

In the process of watching, Qin Huai came up with a new conjecture.

According to the record of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is a golden crow on duty every day, so Sanxingdui artificial sacred tree is, maybe this point is considered.

However, this speculation does not provide concrete arguments for the time being.

……

At 5 p.m., the museum is usually closed. Qin Huai stretched his waist and prepared to leave.

"Young man, I like your research energy very much. ”

The little old man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"You're not gone yet, are you?"

Qin Huai withdrew from his state of concentration, suddenly trembled with fright, turned his head to catch a glimpse of the little old man, and replied angrily, he was scared to death at first glance.

"I think you are very interesting, young man, it seems that you have a deep study of bronzes, should you consider academic exchanges?

And I usually make some bronzes myself, so I don't mind giving you two as souvenirs.

So, would you like to come and see my bronze workshop?"

The little old man rubbed his palms and invited warmly.

"You also forge bronze?"

Qin Huai raised his eyebrows lightly, and his interest increased greatly, this old gentleman has four generations of ancestral archaeological techniques, and he also understands bronze forging, so there should be first-hand research materials at home, right?

Research Materials......

Research Materials......

As soon as he thought of the research materials, Qin Huai agreed without saying a word.
