Chapter 131: Dashang Ornament

"It's over, this old lady is going to be in trouble......" Mo Xuan turned his head honestly and glanced at Ma Fufeng.

This old lady has a square face, a collapsed nose, a pair of small eyes with single eyelids, a wide mouth with yellow front teeth exposed, and lips as thin as a knife's edge.

"I see that you are also like a nobleman, do you know what these commonly used bronze molds are?" Ma Fufeng asked Mo Xuan with the cup he picked up on the ground, "Tell me, what is this?"

Mo Xuan took a closer look, the shape of this wine bowl is more similar to the wine jue seen in later generations, but the mouth of the cup is slightly larger, and there is a circle of gluttonous patterns around the waist of the cup, which is a common drinking utensil for the nobles of the Shang Dynasty.

"Wine, for drinking. Mo Xuan said.

Ma Fufeng nodded not very satisfied, and lifted a small basin-like wooden utensil with an expressionless face, "What is this called?

The utensils she was carrying in her hand looked like a small deepened basin, with the mouth slightly turned outward, and there were ears on both sides for grasping. The inside of the basin is smooth, and the outside of the basin is also a circle of gluttonous patterns, and there is a carving of the head of the ox at the ear, although it is wooden, it is also finely worked.

"Food, for eating. Mo Xuan replied.

Ma Fufeng didn't speak, and mentioned a three-legged small tripod, the mouth of the tripod has the head of the beast and the ear, the body of the tripod has the horns of the beast face pattern, the belly of the tripod is sagging, and the shape is not like the other square tripods. If it were someone else, almost no student would know what it was for. Because the common people could not afford to use bronzes, and the nobles who could afford to use bronzes lacked much contact with this shape of ding.

"What is this, do you recognize it?" Ma Fufeng glanced at Mo Xuan.

Looking at Mo Xuan's previous life, he didn't know what this was used for, but fortunately, Mo Xuan in the later generations was a college student majoring in archaeology, so he naturally recognized the role of this thing.

"This is called a mustache, a ding, which is specially boiled and eaten. The lower belly pocket is wide, in order to increase the fire surface, and the servants who cook in the noble family generally use it more. "Mo Xuan had studied in archaeology class, so he knew the details in detail.

Many students in the audience recognized Mo Xuan, and originally thought that he was a genius with strong divination ability, but they didn't expect that he even knew a lot about the knowledge in the Nongsang class, which made everyone even more impressed by Mo Xuan.

Ma Fufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect this Mo Xuan to even know this, "You, which nobleman's servant?"

"Tell the teacher. I am the prince of Lone Bamboo, Mo Xuan. ”

Ma Fufeng didn't hear the answer he wanted, and rolled his eyes at Mo Xuan, "Okay, let's go and stand......"

Mo Xuan thought that Ma Fufeng saw that he had answered correctly and could open the net to allow a few people to go back, but he didn't expect that he had to take it outside the door, so he immediately went out with a sneering face and stood outside to listen to the lecture.

"Everyone entered the school palace. In the future, the identity will be different from now......" Ma Fufeng took out an animal skin, and there were many lines arranged densely and orderly on the animal skin, which were different, and some were simple. Some are cumbersome, but almost all of them are common lines on bronze ware.

"Whether you are a nobleman or a commoner, you know these instruments or not. But there is one thing that you must recognize, and what I want to tell you now. Ornamental!"

Ma Fufeng gushed endlessly, and Mo Xuan also recalled the many ornaments he had come into contact with in his previous life.

There was a lot of attention paid to the ornamentation on utensils, utensils, and blades and weapons in this era. Because different ornaments represent different symbols.

This can be regarded as a symbol of the theocracy's efforts to take root under the rule of the king.

If you want to gain worship and faith from people's hearts, what theocracy can do is to shape the irresistible power of man, visualize and concretize it, and then show their extraordinary existence through the ordinary utensils that people can most contact in their daily lives, and warn people to be full of respect for this irresistible force, so as to maintain the authority of theocracy to the greatest extent.

It's just that when browsing the long river of history through the identity of Mo Xuan's later generations, the divine power is attached to the royal power most of the time.

The simple reason is that human beings are constantly becoming smarter and better at judging.

The violence and majesty of the royal power have always been like a sharp sword hanging over the head, and the miracles and revelations of the theocracy have always been only relied on by the followers of the theocracy to spread faith with a mouth, and they are not truly convincing.

But all the cognitions of the current era and Mo Xuan's later generations are different......

Because, in this era, miracles are real, and those irresistible horrors of human beings are also real. Even the origin of the Witch God Temple came from the immortals of the upper realm.

In this case, the divine power must be greater than the royal power.

Therefore, the witch temple is qualified to engrave patterns symbolizing wind and thunder, clouds and rain, fierce beasts and gods on various utensils, and even the royal power must be attached to the belief in heaven in order to rule all people.

Mo Xuan knows very well that the role of ornamentation, in the Central Plains, is equivalent to a totem, a spiritual pillar!

It's like a battle flag in an army!

If the battle flag does not fall, the soul of the army will not be extinguished, and the soldiers can always find the way to move forward and cohesion.

The ornament symbolizing divine power has covered all the utensils and utensils of the entire Great Shang, and invaded the royal court, and finally stood in a position of almost ruling the world.

This is also the most important reason why new students must know these ornaments.

......

"There are four main types of ornamentation. Ma Fufeng's voice came from inside the house, "These four are, tiger stripes, gluttonous patterns, dragon patterns, and thundercloud patterns." ”

"Tiger stripes are dedicated to wizards in the witch temple, and the tiger roar can give birth to a huge wind, whistling mountains and forests, and communicate with heaven and earth, so when you see tiger stripes, they are generally used by wizards!"

"Gluttonous beast face pattern is generally used on eating utensils, symbolizing the plumpness of the food bowl and the continuous flow of grain, rice and meat!"

"The Kui dragon pattern also contains many animal face patterns, flying dragon patterns, water dragon patterns, etc. Ma Fufeng took the animal skin cloth and pointed it out to many students one by one, "This kind of water wave animal face pattern, fish scale pattern, or deer ear leaf nail pattern are all a kind of daily decoration. ”

"But like the dragon pattern and the phoenix crown pattern, they are decorations that can only be used by higher-level nobles, and when you see them in the future, you will naturally understand. ”

When Mo Xuan heard this, he looked at the smelting workshop and looked at the tools that were more than 10,000 times simpler than those in later generations, and he had to sigh that in today's big business, which is almost equivalent to the ancient period, can create so many exquisite bronzes, which is really breathtaking!

"The thundercloud pattern symbolizes the rolling thunder and the howling wind, and is a common ornament on the blade of the magic weapon and the blade, symbolizing the power of borrowing the ancestors of the gods to deter the enemy in war. Ma Fufeng said: "If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the ornaments on the blades in the Academy, or find a witch to come and see their magic weapon ornaments, you will definitely gain a lot......"

At this moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared at the door of Ma Fufeng's class with a hurried expression, and a rough familiar voice sounded, attracting many students to look at the person.

"Mrs. Ma, Baxiang has an urgent matter, so I have to ask Mo Xuan outside the door for questioning!" As Baxiang spoke, his eyes were slightly gloomy, and he swept around the room, as if he was looking for someone.

This Ma Fufeng naturally recognized the overlord, and when he saw his momentum, he didn't dare to block it more, so he responded directly, "What does the overlord Wu need, just ask that Mo Xuan......

Ba Xiang didn't say much, he directly pulled Mo Xuan and went around to the side of the workshop, his tone was slightly deep, "Are Huang Quan with you?"

Mo Xuan glanced at the overlord, "Huang Quan, didn't I go to the training camp to find you?"

Baxiang nodded, "He didn't come back?"

"Nope. Mo Xuan replied truthfully.

"This kid!" Ba Xiang was slightly angry, and directly smashed his fist on the wall, Mo Xuan saw this, and immediately understood a little, and asked tentatively: "I heard that Huang Quan is going to enter the underground palace, teacher, do you agree?"

Baxiang had a calm face, "I didn't agree, so I found ......"

Mo Xuan was silent and didn't speak, since the overlord had come over, and Huang Quan hadn't come back, needless to say, he must have secretly broken into the underground palace by himself.

When Su Qingsang asked himself to tell Huang Quan that someone wanted to rescue Zhu Yan, Mo Xuan knew very well that the death of Huang Quan's team members must have a lot to do with this Zhu Yan, and now the overlord does not agree with Huang Quan's entry into the underground palace, and according to Huang Quan's temperament, he will inevitably find a way to enter by himself.

"Teacher, Luo Wen hasn't come back yet, does it have anything to do with this?" Mo Xuan thought of Luo Wen, faintly worried, and didn't make it clear that he knew about Zhu Wen, but he couldn't help but want to ask Luo Wen how she was now.

Ba Xiang raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Xuan, "What did Huang Quan tell you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just heard some rumors. Mo Xuan lightly concealed the past, and the overlord frowned and said: "No matter what you know, don't talk nonsense, if the people of the school palace who dare to stir up trouble are unstable, see how I teach you!"

After that, Ba Xiang turned around and was about to leave, Mo Xuan said, "The teacher is going to enter the underground palace, right?

"Don't make a mess......" After the overlord finished speaking, he left directly.

Mo Xuan touched his nose and glanced at the wind at the door of the workshop, Shi Hao stood there with his hands on his back, his eyes slightly closed, and there was a faint silver and red murderous aura around his body, like a cold and iron-blooded female god of war.

Zi Yu also stayed honestly, staring straight into the workshop, Ma Fufeng explained the basic knowledge of the daily life of the nobles, which made Zi Yu very curious. Feng Wuyi's head is little by little, and he is almost sleepy and can't open his eyes, he has just removed the demon poison before, and his body is still a little weak, and it is normal for his spirit to be bad.

Mo Xuan's position was behind the corner of the house, and the three of them didn't see that the overlord had left, and Ma Fufeng in the house couldn't see himself.

Mo Xuan smiled slightly, followed the direction where the overlord left, tapped his toes, and followed directly.
