In the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the bronze jue body is thick and heavy, and the production is exquisite, the body of the jue is decorated with exquisite ornaments such as gluttony, cloud thunder, banana leaves, etc., and the upper end and the pillar are also decorated with animal images There are a few jue without pillars and with covers, and the cover is cast into the shape of a beast's head.

Another point is that the casting of bronzes in the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties was a state act, striving to be exquisite, and every bronze cast reached the peak level of bronze casting in this era.

It is impossible to cast a bronze with the characteristics of the bronze-making period in the late Shang or early Western Zhou Dynasty, the heyday of bronze.

Chen Dong can infer that the bronze jue in his hand was cast in the Xia Dynasty.

There are 3 reasons for this.

First, this bronze jue is held in the hand, a little heavy, the lead content is relatively high, the lead content of the bronzes unearthed at the Erlitou site is relatively high, and the high lead content can be used as one of the bases for the Xia Dynasty.

Second, this bronze jue is cast by the pottery casting method, which is the main casting method in the embryonic period of the bronze, and the bronze has obvious imitation pottery characteristics. By the early and middle Shang periods, the technique of sub-casting had been skillfully used, and it was completely free from the influence of pottery.

Third, this bronze jue, three conical feet and the abdomen of the instrument, this is due to the casting technology of that period has not yet solved the ability of the inner fan to hang in the air, is a defect, one ear and one foot are on the same vertical line, so that the tripod has a sense of imbalance in the whole. There are two layers on the edge of the mouth of the ding, which is also a defect in the production of pottery,......, these defects are the main characteristics of the embryonic bronze ware.

Therefore, Chen Dong can deduce that the bronze jue in his hand was cast in the Xia Dynasty.

The Xia Dynasty belongs to the late Neolithic Age, the early Bronze Age, the artifacts are mainly pottery and stone tools, and there are very few bronzes, and the only place where the bronzes of the Xia Dynasty have been unearthed is the Erlitou site.

This bronze jue is the first Xia Dynasty bronze unearthed outside the Erlitou site, or the first batch.

This Xia Dynasty bronze jue was not found here for no reason.

It is possible that there is a ruins of a Xia dynasty city near here.

Chen Dong put the bronze jue into the golden bead space.

Chen Dong used the earth bead to perform the earth escape technique and escape into the ground.

The earth beads emitted a millilight and enveloped Chen Dong, Chen Dong became a virtual substance, violating the principle of matter, shuttling through the underground soil layer, soil, rocks, and gravel seemed to be an invisible medium in front of Chen Dong, and the metals, minerals, and gems buried in the ground, the wood buried in the ground, the pottery made by fire, and so on, were different from the earth, rocks, and gravel in Chen Dong's sight.

About 4 or 5 meters above the surface, Chen Dong 'saw' the buried history.

This is the ruins of a city in the Xia Dynasty.

The site is distributed in the northwest-southeast direction, the longest from east to west is about 800 meters, the widest from north to south is about 600 meters, the area is about 500,000 square meters, its central area is located in the micro highland in the southeast of the site, almost to the white heron village, there are important relics such as the palace city, the sacrificial area, the walled workshop area and a number of aristocratic settlements, the western terrain is slightly lower, that is, the riverside where Chen Dong is located, it is a general residential activity area, and it is common to have small ground and semi-crypt foundations and small tombs with burial goods mainly pottery.

At the foot of Chen Dong is the burial area.

After cleaning up the palace area, building ruins, workshops and tombs, Chen Dong found a large number of stone tools, pottery, a small number of jade, bronze, bone and horn tools and mussel wares and other relics.

Chen Dong collected these artifacts into the space of the Five Elements Beads.

After confirming that nothing was missed, Chen Dong left here.

In his previous life, Chen Dong had studied the Xia, Shang and Zhou civilizations, as well as earlier cultures.

In the following month, Chen Dong studied these artifacts, searched for a large number of materials, and then compared the Xia Dynasty artifacts unearthed from the Erlitou site, as well as the discovery of cultural sites such as Longshan culture, Dawenkou culture, Liangzhu culture, Yangyun culture and so on before the Xia Dynasty.

Chen Dong made a discovery that shocked Chen Dong and will surely shock the Chinese archaeological community.

In this site, 127 bronzes, 141 jades, 279 pottery, 124 stone tools, 7 bone and horn tools, 11 mussels, 2 beautifully made turquoise-inlaid animal face bronze medallions, and other artifacts were unearthed.

Some of the artifacts can be determined to be artifacts of the Xia Dynasty.

There are also some artifacts from an earlier era than the Xia Dynasty.

Even more precious are the discovery of inscriptions and carved symbols between motifs and words on some bronze, pottery and jade objects.

Comparing the hieroglyphs and oracle bone inscriptions, Chen Dong deciphered some of the characters and carved symbols.

A preliminary understanding of the site was obtained.

At the bottom of a bronze plate cast 3 lines of inscriptions, a total of 19 words, Chen Dong compared the hieroglyphs, derived from the oracle bone inscription of the Xia seal, it took a week to decipher 9 words, through these 9 words to guess the general meaning of the full text, it is said that the Xia Dynasty's Jingtian system, because of the Jingtian system of the military endowment, nine husbands for the well, square ten miles for the ,......。

There is also an owl tripod, the owl is a general term for owl and a kind of bird in ancient times, the owl tripod adopts the shape of the owl standing on its feet, the owl body is strong, the legs are stout, the wings are attached to both sides of the body, the tail hangs down to the ground, and the two owl legs constitute three stable fulcrums, into the momentum of the tripod foot, the owl eyes are round, the beak is powerful and hook-shaped, the structure is concise, the mighty and majestic, showing a strong tension, the tripod mouth is set between the back and the two wings, closely combined like the back hugging shape, the tripod-shaped utensils characteristics and the animal beauty of the owl are cleverly integrated.

There are 3 lines of inscriptions and 20 characters in the abdomen of the owl ding. Ling Yiyu made a book, saying: "Play in Yong, be a female treasure." ”

It means that when he caught an owl in a certain place, he felt that it was glorious, so he rewarded the owl he had caught as a treasure.

In ancient times, the ancients used the heavenly stem and the earthly branch as the carrier, the heavenly stem carried the way of the heavens, and the earthly branches carried the way of the earth.

In the sky into the image, in the earth into the shape, in the people into the fortune; Heaven and earth determine humanity, so the heavenly and earthly branches are set up to match the fortune of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are positioned, the stem branch is used to determine time and space, and time and space are used to determine the world. Although all things are longer than the earth, the prosperity and decline of all things are inseparable from the sky. The combination of the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches forms the sixty jiazi, which is used to expound the study of heaven, earth and man.

"Shiben" said: "Rong Cheng makes a calendar, and the big tree is a jiazi." Judging from the literature, there were 12 earthly branches during the Yellow Emperor period, all of which represent 12 different months and festivals every year;

Ten Heavenly Stems, some scholars believe that during the Yin Shang period, there were ten characters that calculated and recorded the number of A, B, C, and D, called the Heavenly Stems, and were used in combination with the earthly branches (such as Jiazi, Yichou, etc.), and were used for years, months, days, and hours.
