Chapter 33 A Visit to the National Palace in Taipei
Li Yixuan refused Guo Taiming's banquet, he really couldn't stand it, he needed to rest and reverse jet lag.
I slept until the next morning, and when I woke up, I felt that my body was sweaty and uncomfortable, so I took a shower, and when everything was finished, Jack came in.
"BOSS, I've taken care of it, all the engineers have upgraded the new restriction program, and nothing like this will happen again in the future. ”
"In the future, those robots can't stay in Taiwan for a long time, and they will have to be replaced every 3 years. He didn't expect that Terry Gou would use these engineers to engage in power supply design, which made him wary. This time it's easy to do with the power supply, but what will be the next time?
After going downstairs and having breakfast in the hall, Guo Taiming stepped on the order and said that he would take him to visit Taipei. Li Yixuan doesn't know what to see in Taiwan, he only remembers that there is a Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan, but it is not in Taipei, it is in the central part of Taipei, and he will take a plane to Hong Kong in the afternoon, but he has no time to run where to play.
In the end, Guo Taiming took him to the National Palace Museum in Taipei to take a look.
The National Palace Museum in Taipei is also known as the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the Zhongshan Museum. It is one of the three major museums in China, built in 1962 and completed in the summer of 1965. It covers a total area of about 16 hectares.
In Li Yixuan's view, this museum is big, but it always gives people a strange feeling, all the buildings are imitations of ancient Chinese buildings, yellow walls and blue tiles, golden and brilliant, the building materials used are extremely exquisite, every carving on it can be called a master's level, and the layout can be called magnificent, but such a building always feels weird, always feels that something is missing.
I thought I had this feeling on my own, but I didn't expect everyone who came here to feel this way.
Guo Taiming told him that compared with BJ's Forbidden City, the Taipei Forbidden City is worse than the historical background. With a history of more than 600 years, the Forbidden City of the BJ Palace Museum, the political center of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and witnessed the rise and fall of the two dynasties, the BJ Palace Museum is full of historical vicissitudes, and the Taipei Palace Museum is far from the same in this regard.
The National Palace in Taipei has a lot of precious cultural relics brought from the mainland by the National Names Party, including more than 20,000 pieces of oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang and Zhou dynasties and more than 20,000 pieces of ceramics, including from primitive pottery to Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain.
However, the most famous is Wang Xizhi's "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast", and the second half of Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", the first half of which is in BJ.
Guo Taiming pointed to a huge glass window and said: "The bronzes from the Shang Dynasty on display inside, Sanyang Dingzun." Legend is one of the nine tripods cast when Yu controlled the water. It was later proved that this was not a Xia bronze, but a Shang Dynasty bronze, and experts concluded that this bronze was cast in the Wuding period through the inscription on the vessel and the story written on it. The story written on the inscription is that the queen of Wuding, Nuhao, led everyone to conquer the nomadic savages in the north. In order to commemorate the merits of the woman, Wu Ding cast this tripod. ”
I'll give it a damn thing, this is a super national treasure, you have to take a good look at it.
Through the bulletproof glass window, three sheep stand on the finished line, holding a round pot on top. The three sheep are carved to a lifelike lifelike life, and they are different in shape. What is different is the pot in the middle, the general tripod is square, but this tripod is actually round, much like the cauldron used for stir-frying in ancient families. But this pot appears to be very large, and the walls of the pot are very thick. It is covered with inscriptions and patterns of unknown alien beasts.
"Why is this tripod round and not square?"
Obviously, Guo Taiming didn't know either, so he recruited a tour guide.
"The tripod is round because it is an imitation of the Xia tripod. It is rumored that in ancient times, the Yellow River flooded every year, Yu was ordered to control the water, lasted thirteen years to control the water successfully, after boarding the plane for the emperor, Yu ascended the throne cast nine tripods, each mouth of the tripod is a different beast, the shape of the mouth of the tripod is also the same, there are the squares we are familiar with, as well as circles and triangles, nine tripods represent the world Kyushu. Later, the emperor was given to his son Qi, and Qi established the Xia Dynasty. This Ding imitation is one of the nine tripods of the Yu period, and the sheep represents the meaning of the harvest. Wu Dingzhu's mouth also represents the meaning of Shangshun Heaven's will, that is to say, the Shang Dynasty was not snatched from others, but was established in accordance with Heaven's will. ”
This is a bit informative, first of all, she is the queen of Wuding, this can be confirmed, because later the mainland dug up the tomb of the woman, there is an epitaph as evidence.
Let's talk about Wu Ding, he was the first emperor of the Shang Dynasty. It should be said that the Son of Heaven is appropriate, the first emperor of China was Qin Shi Huang, and before that, he was called the Son of Heaven, such as Zhou Tianzi. The Great King is a title only for princes and kings.
Speaking of Dayu, he did not establish the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty was established by his son Qi, changed the Zen concession system of the primitive tribes, and created a hereditary precedent in China for nearly 4,000 years, the "family world" in Chinese history, starting from the establishment of the Xia Dynasty.
However, there is a problem here, that is, many historians deny that there was a Xia Dynasty, because no cultural relics and monuments of the Xia Dynasty have been found so far.
Whether a dynasty has existed in history or not is the most direct proof of whether the dynasty has left civilization in history, especially writing. However, no written text from the Xia Dynasty has been found to this day. The earliest written proof found in China, that is, the oracle bone inscription, is also something from the Shang Dynasty.
Moreover, it is inferred from time that the era of the Xia Dynasty should be in the late Neolithic Age and the early Bronze Age. The production of the tripod requires a mature metal smelting process, and the Xia Dynasty is a transition period from the new era to the Bronze Age, so it is doubtful whether the legendary Dayu cast Jiuding really exists.
However, this tripod has the Xia dynasty written on it, and this tripod is the Xia Ding imitated by Wu Ding. So the question is, whether the Dayu period has the ability to cast bronze tripods, especially this kind of large bronze tripods. If there is, why have no metal tools from the Xia Dynasty been found until today? Not to mention metal tools, not even jade and stone tools, let alone writing.
Why is the text particularly important, of course it is important, like Dayu's accession to the throne and the construction of Xia, such a major event must be recorded in words.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Cangjie created characters, and Cangjie was the historian of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor who collected, sorted out and used the words that circulated among the ancestors, which is the origin of Chinese characters. Before the invention of writing, primitive people used knotted ropes to record events, and major events were recorded by painting on rocks.
Cangjie has a history of more than 6,000 years, and the Xia Dynasty is 4,000 years ago, no matter how you say it, there should be writing, but there is no written record, no writing, at least the petroglyphs should have, and there is nothing, nothing has been found.
Therefore, some experts judge that the Xia Dynasty should be a dynasty of false rumors.
Of course, there are many experts who refute this view, but so far no recognized evidence, especially written evidence, has been found.
In the face of all kinds of suspicions in history, the tour guide could not give a clear answer, and in the end, Li Yixuan could only hope that there would be a major breakthrough in archaeology to solve this eternal mystery.
Leaving the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Guo Taiming entertained Li Yixuan at a restaurant in Taipei. This restaurant is not a star-rated hotel, the area is not large, but the dishes are quite Taiwanese, the wine is Taiwan's unique rice wine, the degree is not high, and the stamina is not small.
After eating, I went back to the hotel to sober up for a while, and when I saw that the time was almost up, I took a plane to Hong Kong.
