Chapter 47: Ancient Weapons Lecture Hall
Seeing that in addition to the pottery and large artifacts, all the other major cultural relics have been encapsulated, and all the sealed boxes are placed in the underworld hall to be guarded by two armed policemen and 6 public security officers, Professor Chen's heart is much more steady. Then he instructed Ma Kai to measure the size of the furniture and pottery in detail, and then gave it to Lao Ma, asking them to help make simple wooden boxes and go to the surrounding places to buy some wheat straw for filling and shipping, and the work here was roughly arranged.
Zhang Gong saw that the work was progressing very well, and asked Professor Chen happily: "Lao Chen, you said that since this is the epitome of the ancient home, and the old objects here are so complete, why are there no clothes except for bottles and jars?" β
Professor Chen continued to look at the glazed pottery and replied without raising his head: "Inside is the main burial chamber, the main burial goods will be there, there will be, just now I asked Director Feng to prepare some large vacuum storage bags, and I will open the box inside tomorrow, otherwise I am afraid that there will be problems." β
"Well, today's harvest is really not small, there are 32 pieces of jade alone, 29 pieces of lacquerware, 13 small bronze wares, 7 gold wares, 13 dressers and other objects, plus these bottles and cans, can support the small museum faΓ§ade."
Feng Weiguo's ears were sensitive when he heard the museum, and he immediately asked, "Will these be put here for us?" β
Zhang Gong looked back at him, and said with a smile: "You are also about to become rich and crazy, haha, don't worry, no one is fighting with you, you have seen a lot of these for a long time, at most bring a few lacquerware and gadgets back, and you have to take a few weapons over there, and everything else should be yours." β
"Really? That's great! Our museum can be well enriched, update a few antique cultural relics, and the waist board will be harder, and our museum can truly become a brand. β
"When you go to the museum one day, I might be able to give you some advice."
"That's great, you're very welcome!"
"Let's just put it this way, only if you have enough environmental conditions for the preservation of cultural relics, you can display a lot of things here."
"It's basically no problem, some new equipment has been updated in the past few years, and some cultural relics have been directly put into the vacuum cabinet, and the light source has also been treated, outside the cold light source, the light source itself will not directly irradiate the cultural relics."
"What about anti-theft?"
"That's even more perfect, all the exits have several infrared, laser, microwave and other electronic anti-theft facilities, and the security is also professional."
"That's good, the museum is not afraid of theft, the most afraid is that the ghost will steal, that can't be prevented."
"No, all cabinets are vacuum, as long as they are knocked out, the pressure alarm will be triggered, the wiring of all alarms is at the bottom of the cabinet, and any damage such as cutting off the power supply or cutting off the signal line will cause the alarm to move."
"Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll finish this place and make a contribution to you, no matter how much I bring back to Beijing, it's all in your exhibition for a few days?"
"Zhang Gong, what you said is true? If you're sure you're not amusing me, I'll apply for some more equipment to protect these artifacts. β
Zhang Gong may have suddenly realized that he had overspoken, and turned his head and asked Professor Chen, "Old Chen, do you agree?" β
Professor Chen still didn't look up, continued to look at the glazed pottery and said: "Yes, this problem is not big, the unearthed things also have a link to be announced, anyway, there is time for them to keep it, just make a report." β
After getting the confirmation, Feng Weiguo excitedly shook Zhang Gong's hand and said, "From today onwards, I will cover what wine you drink!" Zhang Gong, you are a friend enough! β
"Don't, you really can't care about the wine, that belongs to Lao Chen, he lets him drink, I also look at your enthusiasm for archaeology, otherwise I wouldn't say that when you leaders come, we are all a family, so I understand you."
Listening to the endless chit-chat between the two of them, Professor Chen straightened up and said to them: "Don't talk about it yet, Lao Zhang, Director Feng, you come to take a look at these glazed pottery, it's very interesting!" β
Zhang Gong knows Professor Chen, and he won't be called if he doesn't have any new discoveries, after all, he doesn't have much research on pottery. So he asked, "Lao Chen, what did you find?" β
"If you look at the patterns on these jars, I'm not sure the answer for the time being."
"How many clay pots are you? That is, each pattern is different? That's interesting, let's see first. β
Seeing that Feng Weiguo and Zhang Gong were looking at the clay pot, Professor Chen went to the opposite ear room to see Qin Gong and them. The atmosphere over there is very good, Zhu Gong is explaining to several local archaeologists: "Although the ring head knife had a prototype in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but the smelting technology and forging technology at that time were not very mature, and there were serious problems in quality, so it was not popularized to the army at that time, but it completely changed in the Western Han Dynasty, the Bronze Age has changed to the era of iron smelting and smelting, the shape of the ring head knife has also changed, and the blade is getting longer and longer. It was also popularized among the army during that period. β
A local archaeologist asked: "The knife coin is from the Shang Dynasty, and the knife coin is also a miniature version of the ring head knife, which means that the Shang Dynasty must have a ring head knife, right?" β
"Yes, the Shang Dynasty must have had the Huanshou knife, but as I just said, it is a relationship between the origin and the maturity, the earlier was mainly made of bronze, and the iron was less, and the popularity of the Huanshou knife in the Western Han Dynasty also directly illustrated the maturity of smelting technology, and it can also be said that it was the first dynasty in history to make steel."
"Is that the ringhead knife usually this long?"
"The ring head knife is basically about 1 meter, and there are 1.3 meters, but I don't know how long it is; The shape is about the same, all of them are straight, few with an inner arc, and then the handle is a little different, many are held with one hand, and few are two-handed. β
"Oh, that Zhu Gong, if you fight alone, is such a weapon the top at that time?"
"Well, it's hard to say that the top of the cold weapon era is good, but this ring head knife is basically used with a hook setting, and it's this rusty guy on the side."
After speaking, Zhu Gong picked up something a little rusty from the side and shook it in front of everyone's eyes.
The rusty guy in front of him looked very strange: about 80 centimeters in length, with hooks bent outward from top to bottom, an awl-like protrusion in the middle and a small iron plate, and a handle in the back.
Everyone had seen this for the first time, and they didn't understand what it was, so someone asked, "Zhu Gong, how is this used?" Is it to cooperate with the use of the ring head knife? β
"Yes, this is a common weapon for individual soldiers with the ring-headed knife, it is said to be a weapon because it is not only capable of protection, you see, the middle part can be used as a shield, it can be blocked, the pointed one in the middle can pierce the enemy's flesh, and it can also be used to prevent the opponent's weapon from changing the direction of slashing, and the hook up and down can entangle the enemy's weapon, with the use of the ring-head knife, there is an absolute advantage in dealing with long weapons such as halberds on the battlefield at that time."
"But don't you use a lot of shields on TV? Just the one next to you. β
"How many TV writers and directors know archaeology and history? The use of weapons depends on the war environment, not that all occasions are machine guns or rifles, and weapons and arms need to be adjusted in combination with the needs of the battlefield; Those shields are used to deal with bows and arrows, etc., and there are even bigger shields than this, that is, to build a tall protective wall in front of the battle, and to use such small shields when going out to fight, and the use is exquisite; Nowadays, a lot of TV is made up nonsense, and I don't know where to buy the script, so I shoot it blindly, misleading people's children! β
"Yes, I remember reading a book before, which seems to say that this crochet setting is used as a hand guard."
"Handguards? A serious nonsense! The shield is what you said just now, the hook inlay is what I hold in my hand, and they are all used for different purposes, at that time, the main combat weapons have gradually eliminated Ge, halberds, and spears, and at that time the cavalry used these long weapons, so don't believe the real history in the TV series! β
