The appearance of the pitcher can only be said to be a reasonable thing.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han dynasties, pot throwing has always been a very popular banquet game among Chinese nobles.

However, from bamboo slips to inkstones to pitching pots, it can be seen that Liu He should be a person who loves elegance and likes to dance and write in terms of hobbies and habits.

This is naturally very different from Liu He, who was unscrupulous, lost imperial etiquette, and disrupted the court system in historical records.

This also allows archaeologists and historians to have a better understanding and understanding of this historical task.

After Chen Han briefly chatted with the archaeologist of the Jiangxi Institute, he walked to the storage room next to the document library.

At present, most of the archaeologists of the Jiangxi Archaeological Institute and the Nanchang Archaeological Institute have gathered in this collection to clean it up.

Before he walked in the door, Chen Han heard all kinds of exclamations and discussions.

"Hey, the degree of exquisite design is comparable to the Changxin Palace lamp!"

exclaimed, and immediately attracted Chen Han's attention.

Changxin Palace lamp is undoubtedly one of the best national treasures of the Western Han Dynasty in the history of Chinese archaeology!

This is a treasure unearthed in the tomb of the wife of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan.

is Liu Bei's direct ancestor.

The body of this palace lamp is a palace maid with gilt body and sitting with both hands holding the lamp, with a quiet and elegant demeanor.

The lamp body is 48 cm high and weighs 15.85 kg.

However, it is not the beauty that matters, but the ingenuity of the design.

The design of Changxin palace lamp is very ingenious, the palace maid holds the lamp in one hand, and the sleeve of the other hand seems to be blocking the wind, which is actually a rainbow pipe, which is used to absorb oil smoke, which not only prevents air pollution, but also has aesthetic value.

The Han Dynasty was the heyday of copper lamp making.

At present, the copper lamps unearthed in the Han tombs in various places can be divided into three categories: disc lamps, rainbow tube lamps, and downlights.

Among them, the characteristic of the siphon lamp is that the lamp body has a siphon, and the lamp holder can hold water, and the siphon is used to absorb the lamp smoke and send it to the lamp holder to dissolve it in water.

In this way, the fuel lamp will not produce combustion smoke indoors to avoid polluting the air.

For the era of B.C., this smokeless lamp is undoubtedly a high-tech product.

In fact, this kind of high-end lamps and lanterns can only be used by the nobles of the Liu family.

However, the reason why Liu Sheng's wife was able to have such a high-tech palace lamp was not because her husband was the prince of the Liu family, but because her surname was Dou!

She is the clan of the Empress Dowager Dou!

Empress Dowager Dou is the empress of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the mother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the grandmother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Green Sword Fairy"

In the Western Han Dynasty, it was a two-palace ruling system, because the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so the authority that the queen mother had could check and balance the emperor.

After the ministers met the emperor, they usually needed to go to the Changxin Palace to meet the queen mother, which is equivalent to having two leaders in a country.

At that time, Empress Dowager Dou even almost abolished Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which shows how much influence and power he has.

It was also because the queen mother of the Han Dynasty had too much power, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne as a young man, and he personally experienced this kind of clamping, so he later killed Liu Fuling's mother and left his son.

is afraid that after Liu Fuling, who is only eight years old, ascends the throne, the power of the Empress Dowager's relatives is too great, so that there will be a rebellion of the Lu family, or like him, he will be restricted by the Empress Dowager Dou, and even be in danger of being abolished.

No emperor could allow his authority to be shared by a second person.

Not even if it's a loved one!

Empress Lu, who once held the authority of the emperor, gave a large number of women of the Liu family's princes and kings of the Lu family as queens.

The later Empress Dowager Dou, although she was not as outrageous as Empress Lu, directly controlled the government and politics, but she also gave the women of the Liu family's princes and princes to the Dou family.

Liu Sheng's wife, the queen of Zhongshan, is the Dou family.

And the Changxin Palace lamp found in her tomb was engraved with the word "Changxin" on the lamp, so it was named Changxin Palace Lamp.

The Changxin Palace is the palace where the Empress Dowager lives for a long time, and it is obvious that this palace lamp was given by the Empress Dowager Dou to Mrs. Zhongshan Wang.

It can be seen that in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, it was the Liu royal family that could use such high-end high-tech lamps.

Hearing that a high-grade lamp comparable to the lamp of Changxin Palace had been unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, Chen Han immediately quickened his pace and leaned over to look at it.

I saw that an archaeologist from the Jiangxi Institute was holding a bronze lamp shaped like a wild goose in his hand, and the wild goose also had a fish in its mouth.

The shape of the whole lamp is very beautiful and lifelike, as if it were really a wild goose fishing!

However, a closer look reveals that both the fish and the wild goose's bodies are hollow.

"This fish is the effect of the lampshade!"

The scholar who took the lamp and examined it carefully said with a smile: "I guess that the oil smoke produced after lighting the lamp oil or white wax is blocked by the lampshade and will not fly around. It can only go up into the bodies of humans, geese and fish. ”

"And the people at that time should have injected some water into the belly of the goose."

"The smoke that appears when it burns, after being blocked by the lampshade, enters the hollow belly of the goose, and dissolves in the water!"

"In this way, it will naturally prevent the spread of smoke and affect the air!"

"In addition, the four parts of this goose fish lamp can be freely disassembled and assembled to wipe and clean up the smoke and dust."

"It is said that the Chinese nation has been industrious and wise since ancient times, look at this goose fish lamp, it will indeed make us have a heartfelt respect for the wisdom of our ancestors!"

Hearing his words, Chen Han nodded in agreement.

In fact, in ancient times, the Chinese people were definitely the civilization that was ahead of the earth's civilization in terms of scientific and technological development!

The design of this smoke guide pipe is a major innovation in the functional innovation of bronze lamps and lanterns in the Han Dynasty!

It is an advanced invention made by the Chinese people in BC.

It was not until the 15th century that the oil lamp of Westerners was invented by Leonardo da Vinci of Italy to invent the tin smoke guide lamp shade.

That's right, it's the Leonardo da Vinci everyone knows.

He was not only a brilliant painter, but also a brilliant inventor!

It's just that, before Leonardo da Vinci, for 17 centuries, no Westerner could have thought of such a clever lamp!

And in China, this technology has already appeared in the Western Han Dynasty BC!

It can be seen that the intelligence of the ancient Chinese is absolutely the best in the world!

In fact, the early period of Chinese civilization was full of creativity and imagination.

Whether it's arithmetic methods, astronomy and geography, science and technology......

Huaxia has always been ahead of the world, and the inventions of the West before the 17th century have been traced back to China, and they have definitely appeared earlier here!

It's not just the compass, gunpowder, papermaking, and printing.

It also includes ingenious small designs like the Changxin Palace lamp.

As well as something that facilitates the progress of human civilization.

For example, a water wheel that can increase food production.

For example, in the 20th century, it was able to help scientists calculate the equation for the atomic bomb!

The Chinese nation has never lacked creativity.

It's just that, under the oppression of Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties, the intelligence of the Chinese people was imprisoned by the eight strands of literature created by the Four Books and Five Classics.
