Chapter 634 Golden Thread 'Jade' Clothes 2

A type of 'jade' clothing. It was woven with gold threads, and was used as a funeral dress after the death of the emperors and nobles of the Han Dynasty. Due to the different grades, the 'jade' clothes are divided into gold, silver, and copper threads, and these three kinds of 'jade' clothes have been found in archaeological work.

The golden thread 'jade' clothing is the highest standard funeral clothing in the Han Dynasty, which roughly appeared in the Wenjing period of the Western Han Dynasty. According to the "Xijing Magazine", the emperors of the Han Dynasty were buried with "pearl shirt 'jade' box", which was shaped like armor and connected with gold wire. This kind of 'jade' box is what people call the golden thread of 'jade' clothes every day. At that time, people were very 'superstitious' that 'jade' could keep the bones immortal, and even regarded 'jade' as a noble ritual and a symbol of status.

The emperors and nobles of the Han Dynasty wore "'jade' clothes" (also known as "'jade' boxes") when they died. They are made of many 'jade' pieces with small holes at the four corners, and are braided with gold, silver or copper wires, which are respectively called "golden thread 'jade' clothes" (emperor level), "silver thread 'jade' clothes" (princely and king-level), and "copper thread 'jade' clothes" (prince level). In 1968, two sets of gold-threaded 'jade' clothes unearthed from the Han Tomb in Mancheng were preserved completely, shaped like the human body, each made of more than 2,000 'jade' pieces with gold wire, and the size and shape of each 'jade' piece were carefully designed and 'fine' processing, which showed the superb level of craftsmanship at that time.

'Jade' clothes, also called "'jade' boxes" and "'jade' sheng", are the funeral clothes worn by emperors and high-ranking nobles in the Han Dynasty when they died, and their appearance is the same as the shape of the human body. The people of the Han Dynasty believed that 'jade' was "mountain''''ying'", and put the gold 'jade' in the nine orifices of people, and people's 'essence' would not leak out, so that the bones would not rot and could be regenerated in the next life, so the 'jade' utensils used for funerals occupied an important position in the Han 'jade'.

The library of Jinghua University is really not the second largest library in the country, and the books here are really all-inclusive, and Xu Yang really found some materials on the golden thread 'jade' clothes here. Although he has not yet found the source of the 'jade' clothes he obtained, with these, Xu Yang believes that it is also a good learning. Maybe you can find it in some corner of these books.

The origin of 'jade' clothing can be traced back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's "embellished 'jade' curtain" and "embellished 'jade' clothes", and Cao Pi issued an edict to ban 'jade' clothing during the Three Kingdoms, which has been popular for 400 years. The 'jade' clothes of the emperor and some of his close ministers were knotted with gold threads, which were called "golden threads of 'jade' clothes", while other nobles used silver and copper wires to decorate them with silver and copper threads called "silver threads of 'jade' clothes" and "copper threads of 'jade' clothes". So far, the whole country has found more than 20 pieces of 'jade' clothes, and the two pieces of gold-threaded 'jade' clothes unearthed in the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan and his wife Dou Juan, are the earliest and the most 'fine' and beautiful workmanship.

The 'jade' garment is composed of six parts: hood, upper body, sleeves, gloves, 'trousers' and shoes, all of which are made of 'jade' pieces and decorated with gold wire. The head of the 'jade' clothes has a 'jade' eye cover and a nasal congestion, and the lower abdomen has a 'raw' breeder cover box and a **** stopper. The perimeter is edged with red 'colored' fabric, and the 'trousers' are wrapped with iron bars to make it reinforced. The face is covered with depicted eyes, nose, and mouth, the 'chest' and back are broad, and the 'buttocks' and abdomen are bulging, completely resembling a human body.

The whole clothes consume a lot of 'jade' pieces and gold wires, and the workmanship is very 'fine'. The 'jade' pieces are neatly arranged after the garment, the seams are tight, the surface is smooth, and the color and 'color' are coordinated, which is really amazing, reflecting the outstanding skills of the 'jade' master and the luxurious life of the high-ranking officials.

It seems that Liu Sheng's 'jade' dress is the earliest and most extravagant. Then the 'jade' clothes in his hands are much stronger than the 'jade' clothes, Xu Yang looked at the picture and thought that the 'jade' clothes in his hands were completely made of 'jade' chalcedony. Just kidding, even if the logging was not serious in ancient times, I haven't heard of how much 'jade' there is.

Read on. Because the golden thread of 'jade' clothing symbolizes the identity of the emperor and nobles, there are very strict requirements for the production process, and the rulers of the Han Dynasty also set up a special 'door' to engage in the production of 'jade' clothes "East Garden". The craftsmen here process a large number of 'jade' pieces in more than ten processes, such as material selection, drilling, and polishing, and design the 'jade' pieces into different sizes and shapes according to different parts of the human body, and then connect them with gold threads. The cost of making a medium-sized 'jade' garment was almost equal to the total property of a hundred medium-sized families at that time. The use of gold-threaded 'jade' clothes as funeral clothes not only did not realize the wish of the princes and nobles to keep the bones intact, but attracted the bad luck of robbing tombs and destroying corpses, and many Han emperors' tombs were often stolen many times because of this. During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi ordered a ban on the use of 'jade' clothing, and since then 'jade' clothing has disappeared from Chinese history.

Xu Yang thought back to the 'jade' clothes he had gotten and was dizzy! At that time, he was shocked by his patronage, but now that he thinks about it, what he got is really an amazing thing. Let's take a look at the two best 'jade' clothes in China right now. The master is Liu Wu, the third generation of Chu king; the most "jade" pieces, the "jade" clothes are 174 centimeters long, 68 centimeters wide, and 4,248 pieces of "jade" pieces of different sizes are connected with 1,576 grams of gold wire; the "jade" quality is the best, the "jade" clothes are all composed of Xinjiang Hetian white "jade" and green "jade", which are warm and crystalline; the craftsmanship is the most "fine", the "jade" clothing design is "exquisite" and ingenious, the workmanship is meticulous, and the combination is seamless, which is a rare artistic treasure in the world.

The piece he obtained, a total of 7,200 pieces of 'jade' of all sizes, and the gold thread is not known at present. The 'jade' clothes are all made of 'jade' chalcedony. And it is also set with a variety of gemstones. This is no longer a matter of luxury, Xu Yang currently has a faint idea in his heart, and he really can't prove it, this is what makes him worry the most now.

In appearance, the shape of the "jade" clothes is almost exactly the same as the human body. The head consists of a face mask and a face mask on which the eyes, nose and mouth are carved. Most of the 'jade' pieces that make up the face cover are small rectangular 'jade' pieces, the eyes and mouth are carved out of the larger 'jade' pieces, and the nose is made of five long tile-shaped 'jade' pieces, which is vivid. The top is composed of a front piece, a back piece, and the left and right sleeves, each part of which is separate from each other, the front piece is made of a wide 'chest' and a bulging abdomen, and the lower end of the back piece is shaped like a human 'buttocks'. The 'trousers' consist of the left and right 'trousers' tubes, which are also separated. The hands are made into fists, the left and right sides hold a Huang-shaped 'jade' device, and the feet are made in the shape of shoes.

Some 'jade' cedony, as well as rice containment, wearing things, etc. There are 36 pieces of 'jade' on the front 'chest' and back, and there is a certain arrangement. On the head of the "'jade' clothes", there are eye covers, nasal plugs, earplugs and mouths, and the lower abdomen has a small box and **** plug for covering the 'raw' breeding device, which are all made of 'jade'. In addition, there are 100 agate beads under the neck, and the waist is hooked with a 'jade'. The whole set of "'jade' clothes" is "fat" in shape, covered with gold and hanging "jade", with a total length of 1. 88 meters, 7,200 pieces of 'jade' are shared, and about ...... gold wire is shared This Xu Yang really doesn't know.

Such a gold-threaded 'jade' dress can only be worn by one person, so I feel that my guess is not far from ten, but the antique industry is the record in the literature and history books, even if I now have one hundred and eighty people who are said to have guessed that they are extremely correct, then there is no evidence and it is fake. This made Xu Yang scratch his head.

The book of Han history that Xu Yang read also said: In the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, according to the production level at that time, it was very difficult to make a set of "golden thread 'jade' clothes". The 'jade' material is transported from a distant place, and the 'jade' material is processed into thousands of small 'jade' pieces with a certain size and shape through a series of processes, each 'jade' piece needs to be polished and drilled, the size and shape must be carefully designed and meticulously processed, and many special gold wires are also required to weave the 'jade' piece. It can be seen that the manpower and material resources that are "spent" to make a set of "golden thread 'jade' clothes" are very amazing.

The royal family and nobles who are poor and extravagant and extremely 'desired', 'superstitious' believe that "'jade' can chill corpses". In order to immortalize his corpse, they used expensive 'jade' clothes as burial clothes, and used the Nine Orifices to stuff his Nine Orifices, which can be described as painstaking. But the result is counterproductive, because the price of the golden silk clothes is expensive, often attract many tomb robbers, so that "the tombs of the Han family are all stolen and excavated, and even burn the 'jade' box of gold threads, and the bones are exhausted". In fact, even if the tomb robbers did not come, when the archaeologists opened the mysterious 'cave' room, the tomb owner who wanted to be "invincible in gold" had turned into a handful of clay, and all that was left was a 'fine' and beautiful 'jade' clothes. These seem to tell people about a myth that has been shattered for thousands of years.

In other words, ancient people seemed to be really 'superstitious', and even today it seems that more and more people believe in this. Xu Yang can only say that human science has not been thoroughly studied. Those unsolved 'mysteries' have not yet been solved, so there is a deified 'color'.

The following is some information about the situation when the golden thread 'jade' clothes were unearthed, and Xu Yang just took a general look. There is also the problem of deception about this golden thread 'jade' clothes in recent years. Xu Yang looked at Zhile, he couldn't think about it, it was as small as tens of thousands, as big as tens of millions, and there were still people who used this treasure to borrow billions of dollars in the bank.

Xu Yang spent an afternoon at the museum. To be honest, I checked a lot of information, but I haven't found any information about the 'jade' clothes I got so far. It seems that I should go to the Forbidden City Museum tomorrow to have a look, there should be relevant 'jade' clothing information.

In fact, although Xu Yang rarely comes to school, everyone in the school library, from the teachers to the students, knows Xu Yang, because Xu Yang comes here every time he comes. Although Xu Yang is also a legend in school. It has been spread in the school, Xu Yang blushed when he heard it, but in the library, these teachers and students dare to say that Xu Yang is the most serious one.

Finally, it was time for people to close the 'door', and Xu Yang only had to leave. Of course, when I left, I said sorry to the people who beat them for so long. After leaving, Xu Yang went home directly.

"It's back. Seeing that Xu Yang was back, Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile. The two 'women' were chatting excitedly. Xu Yang sounded like it was about the wedding dress, and Xu Yang said casually: "The three of you really don't have to worry about this issue, although there is still a month, but you wait, I heard about it from my father." In a few days, a costume master will come, and then you can tell us what you want. I promise to make you the most beautiful bride by then, but I dare say the most expensive and beautiful dress in the world is not as beautiful and expensive as the one I got today!"

Xu Yang ignored the contempt of several 'women' and continued to smirk......
