Chapter 37: The Bronze Disc
As soon as the bronze disc appeared in front of us, my heart was pounding up and down, and my heart was full of the shape of the serpentine jade, in order to be more sure, I quickly walked to the front of the wooden pillar, and observed it fixedly, the appearance of the bronze disc was indeed the same as the pair of serpentine jade I put in the second uncle's house, but it was just cast in bronze.

I still remember the shape of the pair of serpentine jade, the diameter has to be fifteen centimeters, the aperture is about six or seven centimeters, it is reddish-brown, the decoration on both sides is exactly the same, the snake's head is close to the wall and the external aid, the body is arc-shaped and inward, from wide to narrow, forming the tip of the tail to close at the inner edge, the double snake head and tail are connected, finely carved, the lines are beautiful and tactful, if it is placed in the antique store, it is not an exaggeration to be the treasure of the whole store.
And the bronze disc in front of me, the size is not much different from the serpentine jade, except for the different colors, it is basically the same, of course, bronze and jade can not be compared, but this is really too strange, even if there is a connection, the serpentine jade is something from the Jin Kingdom as far as we know, and the difference between the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom is more than 108,000 miles, but when I think of the difference in years, I began to suspect that the Nine Heavens Witch Spirit King and this ancient Dian Kingdom may really have something to do with it, after all, there are too many points in between.
Jin State, here is talking about the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, that is, the period of the tomb of the Wuling King, the Jin State is in the 11th century BC to 349 BC, the Zhou Dynasty divided the vassal states, the marquis, is Ji surnamed Jin, the first monarch Tang Shuyu is the son of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu, the younger brother of King Ji Yu of Zhou Cheng.
The name of the country was Tang at the beginning, Tang Shuyu's son Xie was changed to Jin after he ascended the throne, the Jin State rose in the Jin Xiangong period, "and the country is seventeen, and the country is thirty-eight", Jin Wengong succeeded to the throne in the battle of Chengpu defeated the Chu State, a war and hegemony, Jin Xianggong period successively defeated the Qin State in the Battle of Cuisine and the Battle of Peng Ya, and succeeded his father as the overlord of the Central Plains. When Jin Jinggong, the Jin State was defeated by the old rival Chu State in the Battle of Yi, and then passed through the north, and after the defeat of Qi State in the Battle of Qi, and then invaded the Chu State itself in the battle of Jin Expedition Cai to attack Chu and break Shen, Jin Li Gong succeeded to the throne and defeated Qin and Di in a row, and defeated Chu again in the Battle of Yanling, regaining hegemony over the world.
After Jin Pinggong, Jin Fan, Zhongxing, Zhi, Han, Zhao, Wei Liuqing fought fiercely, when Jin Dinggong, Fan, Zhongxing two first defeated, 453 BC, Han, Zhao, Wei three families destroyed Zhi, Jin has been divided by three, 403 BC, Zhou Weilie King canonized Han, Zhao, Wei as princes, known as "three Jin", 349 BC, the last Jin Marquis Jin Jinggong was killed, Jin was destroyed, so the Jin State and the ancient Dian Kingdom are not very different from the age.
The ancient Dian State is even more to say, the Dian Kingdom was established by the ancient ethnic minorities in the southwest border of China from 278 BC to 109 BC, and the territory was mainly in the central and eastern regions of Yunnan centered on Dianchi Lake, and historians are accustomed to call it the Dian nationality.
In 278 B.C., the Chu general Zhuang Qiao led a team to the Dianchi area, the purpose of which was to conquer the local people and belong to the Chu State, and then because the way back was cut off by the Qin State, he stayed in the Dianchi area and established the Dian State, the capital was in Jincheng Town, Jinning District, Kunming City, gathered in the Dian Kingdom in the history of Yunnan for about 500 years, appeared in the early Warring States period and disappeared in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, until 1009 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conquer Yunnan, and the King of Dian surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
And the ancient Dian Kingdom and this Jin Kingdom have been in a period of time for a long time, it seems that this Witch Spirit King may really be a person from the Ancient Dian Kingdom, when I think of the Witch Spirit King knowing so much witchcraft and Gu magic, I already feel that the strangeness of this has gradually understood.
"Why doesn't this bronze disc look like the bronze of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the characteristics are different!" My dad also watched for a moment and said.
"It doesn't seem like it!" I replied.
Of course, my understanding of this bronze is also known from the book, the bronze of the ancient Dian Kingdom is very distinctive, the ancient Dian Kingdom is a slave empire established by the ancient ethnic minorities in Yunnan, it flourished on the shore of Dianchi Lake, flourished in the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty, because it is located in the southwest corner, far away from the Central Plains cultural vision, the ancient Dian Kingdom has been annihilated in the dust of history for a long time, it seems mysterious and bizarre, and at the same time makes his culture also appear very mysterious.
Yunnan in the seventh century B.C. already existed a unique style of bronze culture, the ancient Dian people at that time were rarely bound by the traditional rituals of the Central Plains, regardless of artistic conception and expression, are more open and creative, in terms of utensils and types, whether production tools, living utensils, weapons, musical instruments or ornaments, everything is made of bronze, and the bronze in the Central Plains is mostly limited to weapons and ceremonial instruments.
Of course, the bronze culture is also very eye-catching, especially the decorative patterns on the bronzes, mostly the animals in nature, plant images and typical episodes in people's daily life, lifelike, in terms of animal images in the decorative theme, there are more than 40 kinds of bronzes in the ancient Dian Kingdom, as large as tigers and leopards, as small as bees and beetles, depicted very delicately and realistically.
The ancient Yunnan bronzes are quite different from other frontier cultures in China, not only the bronze weapons such as weapons, spears, forks, swords, etc., which are obviously influenced by the bronze civilization of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the Central Plains, but also the shellfish storage vessels and copper buckles that reflect the social life of the Dian Kingdom as the theme, which obviously have the unique regional cultural characteristics of the Dian Kingdom.
The bronze disc in front of us is similar to the serpentine pattern on the serpentine jade, and I looked at the bronze disc and thought, "This disc doesn't have any close connection with the serpentine jade!" I also told my dad about it.
My father looked confused, and said with a somewhat dull look in his eyes: "What does this Jin Kingdom have to do with the Ancient Dian Kingdom, or what does the descendant of the Wuling King have to do with the owner of this tomb." When my father said this, he shook his head again and said: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, not to mention the geographical location, it is not the right time, the space and the time are not right, this is at most a coincidence!" ”
"How can it be not, the period of the ancient Dian Kingdom is similar to this Jin Kingdom, but the time of formation may be a little earlier, and the time of destruction is not the same, of course, there is some mismatch in space, but this territory will not move, people are alive, and the ghost knows that they will have no connection, how can many things in the past be explained clearly by relying on history books alone!" I went back to my father, and my father felt that there was some truth, so he continued to look back at the bronze disc.
"It's no coincidence!" Suddenly, the master said coldly.
