Chapter 1338: Pig Dragon, Sheep Dragon, Sheep Dragon
Jiang Yingnian's expression did not change, but there was a slight depression in his eyes, and he did not say this from his own point of view. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and Gao Taiming, did not interject, from a personal point of view, he did not want Tang Yi to risk himself, but his work status made him unable to dissuade him.
"This kind of thing can't be answered all at once, let's discuss it, think about it, and give it a few days." At this time, Wen Jia said with a smile.
Tang Yi knew Wen Jia too well, such a big matter, he said with a smile, that is, he made up his mind not to agree. However, he can't refute Jiang Yingnian's face to face, he wants to leave first, and then refuse.
This "three for one" is to keep the secret of three things in exchange for a three-sheep round honor. However, the Tokyo Historical Museum has left such a big pimple in its heart, and after it was exposed at the ceremony, these three things, no matter how they are handled, I am afraid they can no longer be kept in the collection.
If it is said that compared to making a fool of himself at the International Exhibition Ceremony, the loss of these three heavy weapons, the huge antique mothership of the Tokyo Historical Museum can barely afford it; But if they are asked to send this Sanyang Yuanzun, I am afraid that it will become a seal that ignites explosives. This three-sheep round statue is a representative item in the museum's collection, and the Tokyo Historical Museum is proud to have given away a number of replica crafts.
Tang Yi was thinking about it, and Jiang Yingnian said, "You should think about it." In this way, I have been in the city for the past few days, so let's contact us at any time if there is anything. ”
Tang Yi didn't say much, nodded, and said goodbye with Wen Jia.
Gao Taiming sent the two of them out, and when they came, he whispered in Tang Yi's ear, "Director Jiang is also under pressure, the key depends on yourself." ”
"Huh?" Tang Yi glanced at him, "I understand." ”
"Understand what? I didn't say anything just now, huh? Gao Taiming snorted, "Okay, let's go." ”
Wen Jia drove the car to a secluded place on the edge of the North Sixth Ring Road in one go, and after parking, "Give me a cigarette!" ”
", don't take a puff of cigarette, you can really do it." Tang Yi handed Wen Jia a cigarette and lit one himself.
Wen Jia didn't speak with a gloomy face.
"Didn't you expect me to expose those high imitations?" Tang Yi squeezed out a smile.
"You don't seem to be in trouble?" Wen Jia took a puff of her cigarette and coughed, "It's one thing to expect it, and it's another thing to do it or not." Moreover, now it's actually 'three for one', there is really Lao Jiang's, he earns it cheaply, and you carry the thunder. ”
"It's not that he earns it, it's the country. Moreover, I suspect that as long as there is a piece of Sanyang Yuanzun, which Lao Jiang is fighting for, maybe he wants to change a few more things! ”
"One is no different from several. The Tokyo Historical Museum has planted a heel in the Ruyao Lotus Pen Wash, but fortunately, after all, I took a Chenghua Doucai Cup from you. And sending killers back also made them have some scruples, and now that you and I have reached a balance with the Tokyo Historical Museum, this balance may be maintained. But what Lao Jiang asked you to do was to break this balance. ”
Tang Yi nodded, "I think so too." However, Sanyang Yuanzun's return to the motherland is indeed a worthwhile thing. It's just that this method is too bad for us. ”
"How good is this Sanyang Yuanzun?" Wen Jia asked angrily.
Tang Yi took a deep breath of cigarette, "In the Palace Museum, there is also a Sanyang Venerable. This three sheep is huge, with a large mouth and wide shoulders, but the sheep's head is relatively small. This Sanyang Zun, unlike many bronzes, was cast twice, the first time, the main body was built first, and the hole was reserved in the shoulder. The second time, a pottery mold was set up on the hole and a sheep's head was cast. At that time, this was already a top-of-the-line casting process. ”
"However, the three sheep heads in the Tokyo Historical Museum are very large, occupying almost one-third of the shoulder circumference, leaving only a little space between the three sheep heads, and it should be cast at one time, which is really incredible. At the same time, in the ornamentation, the sheep's head is connected to the body, and the sheep's body and leg of the sheep are also outlined, the sheep's face has cloud patterns, the sheep's body has scales, and the legs have gluttonous patterns. ”
Rao is Wenjia is focus is not on this, but when he heard Tang Yiyi say, he was still surprised, "The sheep still has two horns, add up, isn't this a sheep dragon?" ”
What is a dragon? To put it bluntly, it's something imaginary. For thousands of years, this amazing animal has achieved a variety of high symbols.
Speculating on the perception of dragons by the ancients, bronze ware is indeed the best antiquity.
The dragon shape on the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty did not come out of thin air, but must have come from the combination of real animals, such as the scales like a fish, the dragon's snout is long and upturned, a bit like a crocodile, the body is a bit like a snake, and there are gluttonous ornaments, which come from the lion and tiger beast.
At the beginning, the dragon pattern did not have "horns", but it was added later, first with a single horn, and then with a double horn.
"The 'sheep dragon' you said, although it is a casual remark, reminds me of the pigger dragon of the Hongshan culture. The dragon patterns of the Shang Dynasty were varied, but the 'sheep dragon' never appeared. Add 'horns' to dragons, and the Shang Dynasty had them, but they are basically single horns. The sheep itself has two horns, and with these ornaments that should have been added to the dragon, such a wonderful casting process, the three sheep Yuanzun is a thing worth studying. Tang Yi continued.
In the Shang Dynasty, an important feature was that the sacrificial activities were carried out vigorously. Our life today is a bit inseparable from the Internet, and the life of the Shang Dynasty is inseparable from sacrifices, rituals, rituals, sacrifices, etc., and it is not distressing to spend money on this.
To put it bluntly, it is to "give gifts" to ghosts and gods. Moreover, the Shang Dynasty was polytheistic worship, believing in this and believing in that. This kind of "inclusiveness" has created the diversity of cultural artifacts, and it has also made it difficult for historical and archaeological research to be incomplete.
Sanyang Yuanzun, on behalf of a sacrificial culture that has never been studied, or even a historical fact that has never been discovered.
"Okay, I understand. However, no matter how important this thing is, it's not your business alone. Didn't Lao Jiang say, if you don't go, he will find someone else. Wen Jia said, throwing the cigarette butt out of the car window, which had already gone out of its own accord.
"I didn't say I was going to go!" Tang Yi lit another cigarette.
"But you didn't say you wouldn't go." Wen Jia said, "You are hesitating. The biggest problem with you is indecision. For example, in terms of women, Lin Huanting is gone, and you don't need Liao Moer. ”
"Your uncle, what's the word?" Tang Yi scolded, but then frowned again, "But you're right, and I'm not just hesitating, I'm a little ready to move." ”
"You know you're stupid, so hold back this impulse!"
