154, the Ten Kingdoms of the Royal Dynasty
To exhibit in Japan, Zhou Enlai personally approved.
After thousands of years, the Goujian sword is still cold and shining, extremely sharp, and has attracted great attention at home and abroad.
One day in 1984, in the VIP room of the Chinese History Museum, many experts in cultural relics, archaeology and metallurgy gathered to watch a very meaningful experiment: there were more than a dozen layers of paper on the table, and someone took out the Gou Jian sword and swiped it lightly, and the paper was immediately cut in half with a brush.
People couldn't help but shout, "It's so sharp! It's so sharp! ”
Why was Gou Jianjian soaked in water in the tomb for more than 2,000 years and still cold? Hou Dejun, a researcher at the Provincial Institute of Archaeology, believes that the No. 1 tomb is buried deep underground, with one coffin and two coffins, layer by layer, and the coffin is filled with white plaster mud around the coffin, and the white plaster mud that has been manually washed is more dense. Coupled with the tamping of the upper part of the tomb, the burial chamber has become a very airtight space. In addition, the tomb has been immersed in groundwater for a long time, the air content in the tomb is less, and the groundwater is basically neutral. Such environmental conditions are very conducive to the preservation of the Goujian sword.
Hou Dejun believes that when the Yue Wang Goujian sword was unearthed, it was not completely rusty, but the degree of rust was very slight and difficult to see. Today, 40 years later, the surface of the sword is not as bright and shiny as it was when it was unearthed, despite being properly kept.
The unearthing of the Goujian sword shocked the world. However, in order to preserve this precious artifact, there are limited opportunities for its public display. And every time it is exhibited, it will cause a great sensation.
In 1973, in order to celebrate the first anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, with the approval of Premier Zhou Enlai, Gou Jianjian was exhibited in Japan. On the first day of the exhibition, from the opening to the closing of the museum in only two hours, the audience reached more than 2,300 people, which caused a great sensation in Japan; In 1984, Gou Jianjian and Wu Wangfu's spear were exhibited in Hong Kong, and tourists praised them; In 1999, the Goujian sword was approved by the State Council and exhibited in Singapore, and was called "China's heavyweight national treasure" by overseas media; During the National Day in 1999, Gou Jianjian appeared in the "National Cultural Relics 50 Years Achievement Exhibition" of the Chinese History Museum, adding luster to the 50th birthday of New China. After the festival, it returned to the Hubei Provincial Museum.
In addition to these two treasures, there are also unearthed lacquered wood carvings depicting the ancient "zoo".
On the left side of the head of the owner of Wangshan No. 1 Tomb, an iron belt hook inlaid with gold and silver also attracted great attention from the archaeological team. The belt hook is the "belt buckle" of the leather belt around the waist of the ancients, but the amazing thing is that the practical belt hook generally appears on the waist of the deceased, and this is the largest pre-Qin era piece of wrong gold and silver dragon and phoenix iron belt hook found so far, which appeared on the head of the deceased, is it practical, or is it just buried in the tomb as a sign of the status of the tomb owner?
Figuring out the identity of the tomb owner has become particularly urgent.
Judging from the records of the unearthed bamboo slips, the name "Zhaogu" appears in 14 places, and one of them is directly engraved with "Pray for Zhaogu". There should be no doubt that Zhaogu is the owner of this tomb. The text also records that the tomb owner Zhaogu sacrificed to the ancestors of King Chu Jian, King Sheng, and King Mourning, as well as the text of being the great-grandson of King Chu Mourning. This provides strong evidence that Zhaogu is the royal family of Chu.
At this point, the identity of the owner of the tomb is clear at a glance. During his lifetime, Zhao Gu was the attendant of the King of Chu, and had a very close relationship with the Chu royal family, and buried the sword of King Goujian of Yue, and his status during his lifetime was also high. This iron belt hook is not used for daily tiness, it is large and fine, and it is placed on the side of the tomb owner's head as a treasure, just to show the high status of the tomb owner.
Among the burial goods, there is also a painted wood carved phoenix deer seat screen carved with 55 animal motifs.
There is a carved screen on the seat screen, which is composed of openwork and relief animals to form a continuous pattern, engraved with 4 phoenixes, birds, deer, 2 frogs, 15 small snakes, and 26 pythons. The 55 animals are interspersed and intertwined, fighting each other, and skillfully mastering. This perfect handicraft fully embodies the rich imagination of the ancient working people.
It's a pity that when this complete seat screen was unearthed, the carved screen basically fell apart, and how to restore it immediately became a problem. Hu Jigao, a well-known cultural preservation expert in China, who rushed to the excavation site, took a few strands of hair from the head of a long-haired girl, used the hair to replace the silk thread, and finally firmly sorted out the loose parts of the carved screen one by one. That's why we see this complete national treasure today. Seeing 55 animals biting each other, someone at the time humorously said, isn't that just a reflection of the ecological balance of the natural world?

When it came to the first year of Liang Kaiping (907), on the third day of the fifth month, Emperor Zhu Quanzhong of Liang took Henan Yin (hair yi

ot yiyi, yi) and Heyang Jiedu made Zhang Quanyi the king of Wei; Zhenhai and Zhendong Jiedu made Qian Biao, the king of Wu, the king of Wu, the king of Wuyue; Jiaqinghai Jiedu made Liu Yin, and the mighty Jiedu made Wang Xianzhi and servant, and Yin was the king of Dapeng. Guiwei, with the right to know that Jing Nan stayed in the back of Gao Jichang as the festival envoy. Jingnan old unification of eight states, Tang Dynasty Emperor Qianfu, Kou chaos one after another, all the states are occupied by neighboring roads, only Jiangling City, that is, Jingzhou. When Gao Jichang arrived, the city was ruined, and the household registration was depleted. Ji Chang'an was dispersed, and the people resumed business.
Walking in this ancient city now, it all reminds people of the tragic incident when Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou and was killed! The dust and smoke of history and even the smell of blood can be said to still exist and still vivid! The "Six Heroes of Shudong" walked in the middle of it, and it was inevitable that they would touch the scene and be sad by feelings.
"Here we go! Ladies and gentlemen! Please eat Lanzhou beef ramen and mutton ramen, one clear, two white, three red and four green! One is clear soup, two white is white noodles to gluten, three red is chili oil to be ruddy, and four green is green onions, garlic sprouts and coriander to be bright green! A crisp shouting suddenly came into the ears of the six of them.
"Big brother! Shall we have some beef ramen? I saw Wu Tianba ask Ye Jinfeng.
"Not necessarily! Go to my brother-in-law's house and solve our belly problems! ”
The hour was short, and Ye Jinfeng and the other six people had already arrived at the Qiu Wang's Mansion. I saw that the gate was closed, and the former Qingguang gate was still unchanged! So, the "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng jumped off the white dragon horse and stepped forward to knock on the door of the Qiu Wang's Mansion!
After a while, the door was opened, and a stranger was about to come out.
"Childe! Who are you looking for? The janitor asked, surprised.
"Oh!" Ye Jinfeng responded with a smile, "I'm here to visit Lord Qiu!" Please report it! ”
When the janitor heard this, he immediately replied, "Lord Qiu has been teaching the military field!" I haven't been back in days! ”
Hearing this, Ye Jin Feng continued to ask, "Is Mrs. Qiu in the mansion?" ”
"Madame went to the Confucius Temple to offer incense! Childe, are you ......?"
"I'm a friend of Lord Qiu!" Ye Jinfeng immediately took the gatekeeper's words and said, "Since the master is not here, let's go to the military training field!" ”
After saying that, Ye Jinfeng and the five brothers boarded their horses again and turned away.
The "Six Heroes of Shudong" walked slowly all the way to the northwest, and soon came to the wide and whole bundle (Su) teaching field! In the distance, the six of them heard the shouts and applause of the soldiers!
So, when they heard the sound, they looked for it - they saw flags fluttering on the teaching field, showing off their belts, the team was dressed in armor, the flags were all bright, the military uniforms were dazzling, the swords and guns were standing in order, and the shouts were earth-shattering! On the high platform in the middle of the front, there is also a big flag with black characters on a white background, and the word "hatred" is written on it! Under that big banner, among several generals in golden helmets and armor holding swords, a general held the golden word "Ling" flag, suddenly swinging to the west, suddenly throwing to the east, suddenly drawing circles around his hands, and suddenly raising and splitting! Look at the platform under the platform, with the waving of this flag, the soldiers who formed a phalanx rushed to the west for a while, retreated to the east for a while, and turned into a circle formation for a while! In this circle, there are big traps and small circles, small traps and small circles, which wrap the center so much that it is impossible to get through! However, in an instant, under the command of the "golden" word order flag, the flying and rotating circle array quickly formed a "long snake array"! The agility of the soldiers' footwork and body shape is all amazing!
The changes in this camp have long dazzled and dizzy the "Six Heroes of Shudong", but they were soon attracted by another thrilling south - only to see the north of the tower, a group of fast horse soldiers, galloping to compete for a goat, flying horse hooves directly splashed the teaching field into dust, shouting and shaking the world!
