The palace lamp is gilded throughout, and it looks like a palace maid sitting with a lamp in both hands, and the palace goddess is quiet and elegant.
This lamp has changed the mystery and heaviness of the previous bronze vessels, and the whole shape and style appear to be extremely stretched, and it is a very practical and beautiful lamp treasure.
The design is very ingenious, the palace maid holds the lamp in one hand, and the sleeve of the other hand is stretched out, as if to block the wind, but in fact, the wind shield is a rainbow pipe to absorb oil smoke.
The bronze statue of the palace maid is hollow in the body, and the hollow right arm and sleeve form a copper lampshade, which can be opened and closed freely, and the dust generated by cutting and burning can be directly deposited in the body of the palace maid through the arm of the palace maid, so that in the process of use, a large amount of choking smoke and dust will not be dispersed into the room.
Such a shot, placed air pollution, but also has aesthetic value, its environmental protection concept, embodies the Chinese ancients amazing command and advanced consciousness, in BC, the designer can have such a unique ingenuity, is very rare.
The lantern of Changxin Palace is known as the first lamp in China, and it is named because it was once placed in the Changxin Palace of the Empress Dowager Dou, but Huo Sining knew that this lamp was not placed in the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Dou from the beginning, but belonged to the eldest princess of Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, the princess of Yang Nobun.
Because although there is an inscription engraved around the bottom of the upper lamp base of the Changxin Palace lamp, "Changxin Shangyu, one liter less than half a liter, weighing six catties, one hundred and eighty-nine, and those who lie in the present day", but careful observation can see that these inscriptions are scribbled, and it is obvious that they were engraved in the later period, so it can be seen that this Changxin Shangyu is not the original owner of this lamp.
On the contrary, in the other six places of this lamp body, you can see the inscription of the word "Yang Xinjia", these words are clear and notarized, it can be seen that when the palace lamp was first cast, it has been engraved, indicating that the palace lamp originally belonged to the family of Princess Yang Nobunaga.
However, this is not the first time Huo Sining has seen this lamp, in fact, there is one in the collection of the North Hebei Museum.
This is also the reason why Huo Sining has not picked up this lamp and looked at it, so he knows so many details about the Changxin Palace lamp.
However, the palace lamp in the North Hebei Museum is just symmetrical with the action in front of him, the one in the north of Jibei, the palace maid is holding the lamp in her left hand, and the sleeve of her right hand is stretched out to block it, but the one that Semiya took out is holding the lamp in her right hand, and the cuff of her left hand is stretched out to block the wind.
Huo Sining picked up this palace lamp, and turned it up and down from front to back, left and right, and sure enough, this palace lamp is exactly the same as the Changxin palace lamp in China in terms of shape and inscription details.
Under the eye of the sky, the purple gas of this palace lamp is rich, and it has reached the level of purple and black, which shows that this palace lamp has a long history, and it is among the antique cultural toys that Huo Sining has come into contact with, even if the time is not the longest, it is also the number one object.
This thing is genuine, which means that the Changxin Palace lamp in China is actually not one, but a pair.
Huo Sining suddenly remembered that the historical data of the Changxin Palace lamp did show that after the Dou Juan tomb was discovered in six or eight years, the national archaeological expert team carried out excavation work on the Han tomb, and when the main tomb of the Dou Juan tomb was opened, the Changxin Palace lamp was found in the tomb, but at this time, the Changxin Palace lamp of the main room fell to the ground, and the maid's head, lamp plate, and lampshade lamp parts have been scattered all over the place.
In fact, the answer is that when Huo Sining saw the Changxin Palace lamp for the first time, he felt that something was wrong, the ancient Chinese people paid the most attention to symmetry when creating objects, just like many ancient buildings, all of which were polygonal, or some carved stone statues, such as the stone lion at the door, etc., would require the appearance of pairs and pairs, which meant that good things came in pairs, and the picture was auspicious.
But the Changxin Palace lamp in the tomb of Dou Juan is only lonely, which is obviously not in line with the aesthetics and customs of the ancients, especially this kind of burial goods, and it is a lamp, there is rarely a single one, just the meaning is not good, the person in charge of the tomb, under normal circumstances, will not have such a mistake or a mistake.
It's just that at that time, the archaeological team did only find a fragment of a Changxin Palace lamp in the tomb, so the person in charge of collecting archaeological data at that time thought that there was only one lamp in the tomb.
Now seeing this lantern that is completely symmetrical with the shape of the Changxin Palace lamp in the North Hebei Museum, Huo Sining is almost certain in his heart that this Changxin Palace lamp and the Changxin Palace lamp in the North Hebei Museum must be a pair, and it should be buried under the ground by Sui Dou Xuan's coffin.
It's just that why the archaeological team only found one of them at that time, but it was still a fragment, and how it made this one drift across the ocean and fall into the hands of Semya, Huo Sining does not know.
However, she thinks that such a situation will occur, and the bottom is inseparable from two possibilities.
One possibility is that before the archaeological team entered the tomb of Dou Xuan, the main burial chamber of this Han tomb had been patronized by tomb robbers, but these Tufu accidentally knocked over one of the Changxin palace lamps, and made the palace lamp shatter, in order to avoid trouble, so these people only took away the whole one at that time, and threw the broken fragments on the ground at will, until the archaeological team found it later;
Another possibility is that there was a problem with the staff in charge of archaeology at that time, and it may be that someone took advantage of the fact that those teammates at that time were not paying attention, and took the lead in entering the main tomb, and secretly took away one of the complete Changxin Palace lamps, leaving the fragment of the lamp that was broken due to the collapse of the main tomb;
But no matter what the situation is, one conclusion can be drawn that this lamp is the thing inside Dou Juan's tomb.
This Changxin Palace lamp is complete, there is no trace of repair at all, there is no trace of bump on it, the color is bright, the pulp is thick, it looks better than the one collected by the North Hebei Museum, and at a glance you know that it is a hand-me-down work with a wide open door.
Huo Sining is sure that in the future, when her private collection opens, just with this Changxin Palace lamp, it will be enough to make people flock to it, but I am afraid that those bronze collectors will break through the threshold.
In addition, the silver-gilt Amitayus Buddha, the agate gold bowl, and the Yishan gold crown are also very intact, and Huo Sining has never seen such a complete object in some antique appreciation catalogs.
It seems that these things should have been lost abroad very early, at least before the ********** of the four olds, otherwise the quality of these things would not have been preserved so well.
