Is there really a chair from the Han Dynasty?

At present, the earliest historical record of chairs or stools comes from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, which records the deeds of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to build the imperial Hu bed (similar to the current folding stool).

But the matza used by the hu bed as a fisherman at most is still a bit different from the square stool.

The formal appearance of chairs and stools is generally believed to be in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

can look at Yao Zheng's appearance, and it doesn't look like a lie.

Then don't talk nonsense, quickly take out what you find and show it, whether it's a mule or a horse, and pull it out to slip away.

Yao Zheng introduced it for a long time before focusing the camera on a rectangular wooden box.

Seeing the contents inside, Zhang Yang first frowned suspiciously.

Wait until the other person has completely removed the things......

He quickly reached out and pretended to touch his nose, but in fact he blocked his mouth so that no one else would see him laughing maniacally.

Hahaha, this Yao Zheng is too humorous.

He said that the evidence he was looking for was a pair of jade three-dimensional chess pieces from the Han Dynasty.

The overall specification is similar to the current chess, and it is also sixteen chess pieces on one side, but the chess pieces are expressed in a three-dimensional carving way, such as the "elephant" inside, which is really carved with jade.

And the "general" and "handsome" in chess are all sitting on chairs.

That's how the chairs of the Han Dynasty came about.

But the question is: is this really chess from the Han Dynasty?

Zhang Yang remembered that the senior sister of the high school chess club had popularized science in the past, even if it was a bit primitive vertical chess, it was only available in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, there was only the rudimentary form of chess: Saixi.

Even because Director Yao has the view that "the absence of history does not mean that it does not exist", putting aside historical facts, this jade chess board + chess pieces is also very strange.

They are almost the same material as the dressers and stools of the Han Dynasty - green topaz, and even the traces of carving and aging are similar.

Zhang Yang has never seen the 220 million set of dressers + stools in kind, but Yao Zheng took out this set, after video identification, he can be 100% sure that this is a modern handicraft.

Maybe it's a chess piece carved from the scraps of a carved dresser.

"How? Do you still have questions? ”

Yao Zheng took the "handsome" chess piece, pointed to the chair below and said triumphantly.

Zhang Yang was hesitating to question it, and the hostess spoke first.

The program team seems to have really prepared a question, doing a full set of plays.

"Mr. Yao, is your chess really from the Han Dynasty? Since none of us are experts in this area, there are a bit of doubts. ”

"Of course, since I took them back from the hands of private collectors, I have been displaying them in the Zhongzang Hall in Yanjing, and I have seen them for many experts, and there is no problem at all."

[Then you let Master Zhang take a look]

[Yes, I will believe in Master Zhang]

[There are ready-made experts here to let people express their opinions]

[I am a professional collector of chess, and this thing can only be evaluated with the word "ridiculous"]

[Master Zhang, if you are kidnapped, blink]

Zhang Yang blinked.

He vaguely felt that both the host and Director Yao glanced at him.

But they all tacitly didn't speak.

Director Yao is afraid that because he has a ghost in his heart, why is this host also embarrassed?

"Thank you Mr. Yao for your answer, if you don't have any more questions......

Ou Bei ignored the barrage full of [Let Master Zhang come], no matter what, the progress of the show is important.

"That's all for today's discussion of Han Dynasty jade......"

"Wait!" Zhang Yang interrupted her with a loud voice.

The National Treasure Gang has jumped their faces, and they still want to escape?

Zhang Yang doesn't demolish him, and he is sorry for the Cheng family father and son who are in prison.

He said word by word: "I still have a question. ”

"Master Zhang, we ......"

Ou Bei hurriedly wanted to block Zhang Yang back, but she really couldn't think of a suitable reason.

can only pull the banner of the show: "There are guests waiting in the back." ”

"It's okay, let him wait for now."

Zhang Yangxin said, isn't it just that Yangzi wants to use dzi to cut leeks, and it is estimated that the TV station can also get a piece of the pie from it? Anyway, this kind of pickled thing is not worth rushing.

What he wants to discuss now is a serious academic issue, not a grin.

"Host, I want to discuss the origin of chess, such an important matter, the program team's commercial arrangements should be able to endure it."

"The origin of chess?" Yao Zheng touched his chin, he didn't have a clue for a while, he didn't know what Zhang Yang wanted to say.

"Teacher Yao, you said this is the standing chess of the Han Dynasty?"

"yes, yes." Yao Zheng replied with confidence.

"Great." Zhang Yang patted his thigh and said excitedly, "Teacher Yao's discovery directly pushed the era of the emergence of complete chess in my country from the Tang Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, more than four hundred years earlier!" ”

"Over the years, some people in the West, in order to put the origin of chess on India's head, have tried to break their heads and fabricate all kinds of ancient books and myths, but they only dare to push it back to the second century AD."

"Maybe it's not as early as your Han Dynasty chess!"

"Not to mention that what India has found is only the so-called four-cornered chess, which is still far from the real chess, and it can't touch your traditional chess at all."

"Teacher Yao, amazing!"

At the other end of the video, Yao Zheng was already in a cold sweat on his forehead.

He now knows how much attention public opinion attaches to the question of the "origin" of this culture.

If it is taken seriously, it will be used as an argument for the origin of chess...... When the time comes, it will definitely be debunked in public by other experts and become a joke.

Then he, a fake person, unless he changes his name and starts all over again, he will basically die socially.

Yao Zheng hurriedly spoke: "Master Zhang, what you said is an academic matter, I don't understand. I'm just an ordinary person who plays collecting, but I don't dare to get involved in such a big thing. ”

"You don't understand?" Zhang Yang tilted his head and asked.

After seeing the other party nodding in response, he continued to ask, "Don't you understand because I didn't say it clearly enough?" ”

"Then let me put it simply, if your thing is real, it can definitely be in the newspaper. As a cultural relics protection expert of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, it is my duty to protect you, a vertical chess piece of the Han Dynasty. ”

"The stakes are very high, just tonight, I will contact the experts of the United Palace Museum and the National Museum to review it together."

"Host, you can also follow up on this matter, after all, it is a treasure that came out through our show."

"Okay." Ou Bei nodded.

If it is really the same as what Zhang Yang said, then she can score 100 points for the effect of today's show.

Compared with major archaeological discoveries, Ms. Zhou's live broadcast accident just now is not a problem at all.

As a host with a strong sense of social responsibility, Ou Bei even took the initiative to help Zhang Yang persuade Yao Zheng:

"Teacher Yao, such an important matter, I think we should really take the opportunity of our show to promote it."

"Promote traditional culture."

"Miss Xiao Ou is pertinent!" Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up.

He smiled mysteriously at the camera.

Doesn't Director Yao like to turn the tables? In this case, can it be translated?
