"Remember, our culture has a long history, although in the book of mountains and seas, there have been records of monsters, but they are all named, surnamed, and originated, by no means ordinary simple monsters, besides, there has never been any monster on the ancient utensils, let alone ritual weapons? It's a symbol of a person's identity, it's a matter of our culture, don't you think? ”

"Yes, yes, I was a little reckless when I saw such a beautiful shape" Xiao Xiong was a little embarrassed, so he immediately asked, "Then what kind of animal do you say this is?" Could it be a dragon? ”

"Hey, this time you're right, it's looking back at the dragon, as the handle of the bronze, or as the leg of support, it can be said that as long as the ritual is used, it is basically not decorated with a dragon, or a turtle is used to decorate, of course, my statement is not completely accurate, because the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and it depends on which one it is,"

Zeng Fan talked eloquently, Xiao Xiong listened attentively,

"You see that it has a slender neck, ears like deer ears, round and prominent eyes, and the horns on the top of its head are curved and forked, which is really chic and beautiful. The two below are also dragon-shaped beasts, and they can actually depict their tails so delicately, not only naturally curled, but also have delicate scales on their bodies, and their heads turn slightly sideways. The eyes and mouth are wide open, and the nose is actually bent upwards along with the upper lip, which is a nuanced and proud look back," Zeng Fan's words were quite poetic, which made Xiao Xiong very fascinated to listen.

"Your poetic remark makes me feel that these two dragon-shaped handles are even more beautiful!" He praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, it's really superb technology, and it's so rare to have such superb casting technology at that time!" Unexpectedly, this sentence was leaked,

"Teacher, this is not casting," Xiao Xiong disagreed, "This is the carving technique used, we don't have a magnifying glass, if there is a magnifying glass, you can see the knife marks if you look closely, you look at the nails on the dragon's claws, the casting can't come out of this effect, and this dragon-shaped beast is a hollow design, and all the details are carved openly, which is very in place,"

"That's good," Zeng Fan immediately agreed, "I'm gone, it seems that you have studied this craft very much, so do you say that the patterns used for decoration on it are also carved?" ”

"I don't think the lines are like it, these patterns seem to be cast with the main body, because the lines are too complicated, and the later carving is difficult to complete, and it must look good from an aesthetic point of view, but I don't understand this pattern," Xiao Xiongzhi is seeking truth from facts, "Teacher, what kind of lines are these?" Why is it so complicated? Some of them are still intertwined, is there anything special? ”

"Most of the patterns on the bronzes are dragon patterns, and what you just said are intertwined with each other are pan claw patterns, which are not divided into primary and secondary, interspersed up and down, and extended on all sides, which seems to be pursuing an overall sense of balance."

"Well, I wonder if the designer thinks that this square theme is too simple, so he deliberately uses ornamentation to show the extraordinaryness of this bronze?"

"Hehe, that makes sense, you have a good idea. However, judging from the lines, this bronze is not an early bronze, but rather a little later,"

"And why?" Xiao Xiong was puzzled.

"Because the early patterns, most of them are simple cloud and thunder patterns, gluttonous patterns, dragon patterns, phoenix patterns, cicada patterns, silkworm patterns, and it is only in the later period that the pan claw pattern and ring belt pattern gradually appear, which can also be regarded as a kind of corroboration,"

"Oh, is that so?" He suddenly realized, "It seems that the ornament also has a historical mark,"

"Of course, in terms of styling, most of the early ornaments are fantastical and strange, and they seem extremely serious and mysterious. But later, with the progress of history and the extension of social conditions, people have different understandings and progress in ideology and aesthetic views, and then they gradually evolved into exquisite and concise, and the techniques are more detailed and realistic, if you can see more physical objects, you will have a deep understanding. ”

"Yes, you look at the claws of the dragon-shaped beast, they are deeply attached to the ground, and the facial expression is also very dignified, which highlights the strength of the dragon-shaped beast."

"Hehe, you not only have knowledge, but also from the aesthetic point of view is more and more profound, you see the lower part of the pot body, the dragon-shaped beast's body and horns, are decorated with a round point, and the widespread existence of this dot-like decoration, it avoids the monotony of the pot body, although simple, but it is a stroke of genius, fresh and good."

"Oh, you two have become poets, look at the one who praises this dirty thing," Xiao Zhao's voice suddenly came from behind him,

"Hey, what's wrong with you getting down?"

"You two are so good? How could I let go of this opportunity? Look at how many statues are on this pot? But although there are so many decorations, they are not messy, they are not scattered, and they have their own demeanor, especially the crane on the lid of the pot, you two tell me, what theme is it highlighted? Xiao Zhao said mischievously and raised new questions.

"This crane seems to be breaking through the fetters of antiquity, and is full of ambition, looking at everything, stepping on the tradition under its feet, and is flying towards a higher and farther goal."

"Yes, this pot must mean something, could it be that this king is from the original?"

"I suspect so, but it's too dark, the lighting is bad, we don't have the tools in our hands, and besides, it's hard to open the pot. Combined with the lessons we once found the inscription in the Yacho Plague, perhaps, there must be an inscription engraved in it, so that we can know exactly who the owner of this pot is, the life history of this person, and why he came to the desert, and a series of mysteries can be revealed."

"Great, if it weren't for this damn sandstorm, we would have been able to go back to the station and unravel this mystery right away," Xiao Zhao was excited, but also a little impatient.

"Don't worry, don't worry," Zeng Fan comforted him, "It's not bad for a day or two, let's use this time to clean up everything, isn't it closer to the truth?" "Mobile SM..

"Yes, yes, what Mr. Zeng said is right, the sandstorm has blocked us here, and we can't go anywhere anyway, so let's clean up here in a down-to-earth manner and give the leaders and comrades a surprise!"

"Haha, look, it's still Lao Xiao's breath, Xiao Zhao, if you're not tired, just change to Lao Xiao, you and I are here to clean up, right?"

"Okay, anyway, I can't stay up there, I'm still choking and coughing, so I'll just stay down there, it's good here, at least I'm not allergic!"

"Yes, yes, Lao Xiao, you go up and rest, Captain Zeng and I will do it below!"

The three of them worked in the cave steadily, but they didn't know that at this time, there was already ........a mess at the station.
