Chapter 794: Historical Imprint

Speaking of Chinese civilization, according to the arguments of China's current archaeological circles, the Yellow River civilization is our Zhengshuo, that is to say, the real Chinese civilization originated in the Yellow River area.

In fact, our civilization began with the real historical era, that is, the legend of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and their tribal origin is in the Yellow River area.

But those histories are only more than 3,000 years old.

However, our historians have said from the other side that our Chinese civilization not only has a history of more than 3,000 years, but also has a civilization of more than 5,000 years.

Where do the extra 2,000 years come from?

This is to find evidence from archaeological discoveries in other parts of the country, such as the Hongshan culture, which dates back more than 5,000 years, or the Liangzhu culture of the same period.

These are the earliest records of our Chinese civilization? But after all, the Zhengshuo of Chinese civilization originated in the area of the Yellow River, and in order to maintain the unity of propaganda, it will not cause ideological confusion among modern children.

Therefore, historians should try their best to get closer to the Yellow River civilization of the Liangzhu culture and the Hongshan culture, which were still early in the Yellow River civilization.

The most correct statement is that in the ancient Taihu Lake area, and in the ancient Liaoning and Inner Mongolia areas, there were already the earliest primitive people who lived.

And their culture is still very developed, and the social level is also very advanced, so they have left a lot of living sites, and also left a lot of Stone Age cultural relics.

For example, the stone tools, jade tools, and clay pots they used back then, these are all historical evidence of their civilization.

But later, the primitive people living in these cultural circles were due to various natural disasters. Accidents, or wars, plagues, and so on, began large-scale migrations.

The last one migrated to the Yellow River, and gradually exchanged and integrated here, and finally gave birth to the ancestors of our Chinese civilization. Yellow River Civilization.

This is the tone that the Chinese archaeological community has always followed.

Because only in this way can you ensure that you are the most qualified Chinese to survive in this land of China.

You don't have to be like the Americans, who celebrate Thanksgiving today, and tomorrow you will be scolded by people all over the world.

Bah, you guys are embarrassed to spend Thanksgiving, what did the local Indians do to you when your Mayflower arrived on the American continent?

Give it to your fathers. Dress your ancestors, and invite your ancestors to their homes to eat turkey, but what about your ancestors?

It only took two years to exterminate the Indians who had hospifully entertained you, not only to exterminate the Indian tribe that rescued your ancestors, to kill people's sons, to rob people's wives, but also to sell the sons of other chiefs as slaves.

So if you talk about the rationality of your survival on the land of America. Which is the most inappropriate.

If you look at us Chinese, it is legal for us to live on our land by nature. Our ancestors lived in this land more than 5,000 years ago, before there were written records.

So our rule over these places is legitimate, which is hard to say, but you can say that at the same time. You'll have to show the evidence.

So those archaeologists are desperately trying to prove that their theories are correct, so you have to use the evidence to speak.

For example, you have to put the stone tools used during the Yellow River civilization, and the jade tools, and the Liangzhu culture. There is also a comparison of the Red Mountain culture, see if they have similar places from time to time, or simply have a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation or something.

This stumped the Chinese archaeologists, because when they wanted to research, they found that, in particular, the cultural relics left by the Liangzhu culture found by Lao Tzu were actually robbed by the Japanese.

If you want to argue the connection between Liangzhu culture and the Yellow River civilization, there is no reference at all, even if there are still some cultural relics of Liangzhu culture in China, but there are only dozens, or hundreds.

Relying on such a little thing alone, how can the Yellow River civilization and the Liangzhu civilization be related.

So do you think Chinese archaeologists hate the Japanese?

Fortunately, the historical relics of Hongshan culture are found more after the liberation, although there are many cultural relics of Hongshan culture, which have been lost overseas, but there are many of them preserved in our country.

Chinese archaeologists can easily associate the Hongshan culture with the Yellow River civilization, and if the things of the Hongshan culture are also snatched away by the Japanese, then those archaeological experts have to jump up and scold their mothers in anger.

The exhibition hall of prehistoric cultural relics and Xia Shang Zhou cultural relics, Jin Muchen quickly finished reading it, in addition to being shocked, his only feeling was that it was a pity, how good it would be if these things were in China.

Perhaps those Chinese archaeologists have already verified the relationship between the Liangzhu culture and the Yellow River civilization through these things.

Next, what I saw was the ancient Chinese cultural relics that had entered the Bronze Age, most of which were mainly bronzes.

Most of them are from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and most of them are bronze tripods, pots and the like from various periods, all of which are very exquisite and beautiful in workmanship.

Compared with the bronzes that Jin Muchen collected from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the British Museum, it can be said that it is definitely not far behind.

Looking at these bronzes, Jin Muchen also felt a burst of sadness.

If you want to say that most of the bronzes from the Shang, Zhou, and Han dynasties in China that are now on display in museums in Europe and the United States, it can be said that most of them were reversed by the Japanese.

At that time, the Japanese had just defeated the Great Qing Kingdom, and the relationship with the Americans was good, after defeating the Great Qing Kingdom, the Japanese opened many treaty ports in China, and they had been carrying out crazy infiltration into China.

Many Japanese thieves and antiquities dealers went to China at that time to loot on a large scale.

After exhausting all kinds of tricks and abductions, he collected a lot of good things from China, which can be regarded as a windfall.

Unfortunately, Japan's national strength was limited at that time, and Japan was actively preparing for a war with the Russian Empire at that time, so in order to raise military expenses, they sold a lot of good things to the Americans.

Including many of the treasures that Jin Muchen collected in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, were sold by the Japanese to the Americans back then.

Among them, there are many beautiful bronzes, but it is a pity that the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, does not specialize in collecting bronzes.

Later, they made a lot of directional adjustments to their collections, and many of the good quality bronzes were sold by the Americans, or to other museums, or to some private collectors who liked them, and their whereabouts have not been known since then.

So when he saw these exquisite bronzes in front of him, Jin Muchen could appreciate the ingenuity and technological innovation ability of our ancestors on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hated these Japanese people so much that he gritted his teeth.

After taking a look at all these things, Jin Muchen began to quietly look at the security measures in the showroom.

In fact, he has been paying attention to the security measures here since he entered this Toyokan.

The Egypt exhibition hall in front, the Southeast Asia exhibition hall, and the West Asia exhibition hall, the security measures in there can be said to be very loose, not to mention that the entire exhibition hall is empty, and there are not a few cameras at all.

There are even some cultural relics that are piled up there so big that even the glass cover on the outside is omitted, and it can be seen that the Japanese also know that those exhibits are not of high value, so they are not afraid of being stolen, so they do not pay much attention to them.

But as soon as you enter the exhibition hall of Chinese cultural relics, the atmosphere is immediately different, although I dare not say that it is ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, but you can also clearly feel that the security measures here are much more serious than the previous halls.

Almost every exhibit is covered with a glass cover, and the glass cover is basically bulletproof and electrified, and it is almost impossible to smash these glass covers by violence.

Even if you were strong enough to lift the covers, the alarms would be triggered as soon as they were moved.

And that's not all, almost most of the cultural relics in the glass cover are tied to the display shelf with titanium alloy wires, as long as you touch those alloy wires, it will trigger the alarm system, and even if you can remove the glass cover, but if you want to cut these wires, it will not be so easy.

What's more, there are also a lot of cameras in these showrooms.

If you are in these exhibition halls, let alone make any big moves, even if you want to get close to those display cases, I am afraid that it will immediately arouse the alarm of the security guards in the monitoring room.

It seems that the Japanese know very well what the most precious artifacts are in their Tokyo National Museum.

That's why they made such a security posture that is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it can be seen that they attach great importance to these Chinese cultural relics.

Jin Muchen cursed in his heart, and then continued to walk back.

In the exhibition room of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, the most displayed in this exhibition room is all kinds of Buddha statues.

You must know that the period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was the era of the first great national integration of Chinese civilization, and all kinds of different ideas collided and collided, but in the end, it was with the help of Buddhism, a peaceful religion, and finally fused together, which cannot but be said to be a kind of luck of Chinese civilization.

And that era was also the most prosperous and prosperous era of Buddhism in Chinese civilization, so the historical relics that can best represent that era are all kinds of Buddha statues.

And these Buddha statues standing here are also of high quality, at least higher than what Jin Muchen has seen in many museums in China. (To be continued.) )
