My system is not decent

Chen Wenzhe took a general look at this batch of jade wares, and found that there were quite a lot of jade wares with chilong patterns.

"Chi is one of the nine sons born to the dragon", "No horns are called Chi".

The chi pattern appeared in jade and the works originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, flourished in the Warring States Period, and flourished in the Han Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chi's shape is characterized by its body length like a snake, twists and turns, tall and straight, and full of vitality.

The chi body has two legs, three legs, and four legs, and the tail is decorated with silk patterns.

There are two kinds of chi heads, one with a round face and no body, and the other with a long face with ears and a narrow mouth and nose.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the shape of the chi pattern changed greatly, with a body shape like a beast, muscular limbs, and strong elbows.

The head of the chi is like a tiger, with a short snout on one side, a slender tail, and multi-grained silk decorations. The image is more ferocious, vigorous, and powerful, so it is also called the Chi tiger by custom.

In addition to the chi pattern plum blossom cup and the jade chi, there is also a chi pattern wash.

Looking at the shape and shape of the utensils, no matter how you look at them, they are all things of the Ming Dynasty.

This piece of jade is 10 centimeters in diameter and 5 centimeters in height.

It is also made of Hetian white jade. The quality of the jade is fine and firm, and the polishing is fine. It is difficult for the folks to obtain such jade.

Pick it up and take a closer look, and immediately feel that it is very warm and moist, with Baoguang inside.

This device is ingenious in design and exquisite in craftsmanship. It is actually a fine jade carving in the Ming Dynasty.

Don't look at other things, just look at the body of the vessel, and there are 5 chilongs, climbing on the body.

Chilong has a square head, cut bamboo ears, protruding eyes and round eyes, a vigorous body, strong limbs, and lifelike.

The inner evisceration is clean and neat, and there are brown oozes in the cracks.

Needless to say, this jade washing must have been dug out from the tomb, otherwise there would be no color.

Take a closer look at these jade wares, especially the Chi patterns on them. This thing still has some characteristics of the Han Dynasty, and it is obviously an antique wares.

The shape of the chi pattern in the Han Dynasty is basically short and wide (side), the eyes are positioned forward, the cheeks are retracted, the lower half of the face is narrowed, and the corners of the eyes to the mouth are in a tenon shape.

There are many types of chi patterns in the Han Dynasty, and some scholars divide them into seven categories based on their basic shapes.

The first type has a protruding tiger face, square and round ears, no horns, and a tail decorated with silk patterns.

The second category is face, square and round ears, and horns.

Three types, tiger face, no horns, and drooping ears.

Four types, with horns and drooping ears.

The fifth category is made of round ears by punching.

In the sixth category, there are wings on the chi body.

There are seven types, the mother chi and the child are facing each other, and the big chi is staring at the small chi, which can also be called the mother chi teach the son.

These chi pattern jade wares here are of various types, and they are all high-quality goods.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe could hold it in his hand, which was a jade 韘 with Chi patterns imitating the Han Dynasty.

The pronunciation of 韘 is shè, and this thing is actually a finger.

The wrench is an archery tool worn on the thumb.

There is a groove directly below, which is used to buckle the bowstring to draw the arrow, and its function is to prevent the fingers from being scratched by the rapidly drawn bowstring when the arrow is released.

Because the function is similar to the trigger, it is also called "machine".

The predecessor of the wrench finger was called 韘, which was used very early. The earliest utensils with the function and shape of the wrench that have been discovered were unearthed in the tomb of Fu Hao in the Shang Dynasty.

The one held by Chen Wenzhe is 4.8 cm long, 4.4 cm wide, 1.7 cm in diameter, and 1.8 cm thick.

Jade is yellowish-white, partially bleached by Qin.

The main body of the ornament is in the shape of a goat, with a chilong climbing up on one side.

The chi head wraps around the back of the ornament and extends to the upper right side;

Chi's torso and another hind limb are hidden on the back of the ornament, as if moving through the clouds, looming;

On the surface of the ornament, the cloud pattern is withered with a single Yin line.

The combination of vertical and vertical, with clear layers, perfectly sets off the dynamic beauty of Chi, and has more artistic appeal.

Chi patterns in the Han Dynasty were mostly decorated on sword ornaments, and there were two types: shallow relief and high relief.

In addition, a large number of decorations are decorated on chicken heart pendants, on the outline wall, on daily utensils, and on seals with hooks.

These jade wares all show nobility and have become the most commonly used decorations besides dragon and phoenix.

In all dynasties after the Han Dynasty, Chi patterns were the main decorations of court jade and folk jade, but they no longer had the glory of the Han Dynasty.

Chi's body posture, demeanor, and claws no longer have the strength of the Han Dynasty, and are only for decoration.

Therefore, jade wares from the Han Dynasty, or imitation jade wares from the Han Dynasty, are still very recognizable.

For example, another piece of jade, at first glance, is not imitation Hanyu.

"Huh? This one is actually a real antique? Is this a Chi-patterned Jade from the Warring States Period?"

Picking up a jade pendant, Chen Wenzhe looked it over carefully. He had discovered a Warring States dragon and phoenix jade pendant before, so he was no stranger to this item.

Holding it in his hand and inspecting it carefully, Chen Wenzhe soon recognized that it was a jade pendant with chi tiger cannibalism patterns from the Warring States period.

It is 3.8 centimeters high, 6.2 centimeters wide and 0.4 centimeters thick.

The jade is blue in color, with white misty oozing, traces of cinnabar remain on the surface of the vessel, withered on both sides.

A chi tiger is engraved in the middle of the vessel, and its body is curled into a ring shape.

He bites a naked woman, grabs the person's arm with his right claw, and grabs the person's left leg with his left claw.

On both sides of the body, there are two gods and men with flying wings, with a peaceful expression and wings growing from their shoulders.

The design is weird, the carving is exquisite, very mysterious and deterrent.

In the Shang Dynasty, Warring States Period, and Qin and Han Dynasties, such artistic expressions were very common.

For example, the tiger cannibal is a bronze vessel of national treasure level, and it is a bronze wine vessel.Something from the late Shang Dynasty.

Such bronze vessels are relatively large. This tiger cannibal is 35.7 centimeters high and weighs 5.09 kilograms.

The shape adopts the posture of a crouching tiger hugging a person, and the conception is also very peculiar.

The tiger on this bronze ware supports its body with its hind legs and tail, forming the three legs of the you at the same time.

The tiger is holding a person in its front paws, and the person is squatting on the tiger's chest.

A pair of bare feet stepped on the tiger's claws, with both hands stretched out to the tiger's shoulders, the tiger wanted to eat the human head with its mouth open.

There is a lifting beam attached to the shoulder of the tiger. There are animal heads at both ends of the beam.

The upper part of the tiger's back is an oval mouth with a cover, and a deer stands on the cover. The cover is decorated with curly-tailed Kui patterns, and it is also based on thunder patterns, which is consistent with the body.

Swallow

The tiger's ears are erected, and its teeth are very sharp.

Like many bronze wares unearthed in the late Shang Dynasty, it is richly decorated, with the theme of humans and animals, expressing weird ideas.

Obviously, the jade article that Chen Wenzhe discovered was the same thing.

This form of artistic expression is still very interesting.

Mainly because of its decorative function, we modern people have analyzed many views.

There are mainly five kinds of mainstream understanding.

[-]. To show the domineering and cruelty of the ruler, and to intimidate the slaves with this shape.The tiger is a symbol of the slave-owner class, and man is the representative of slaves.

Second, the relationship between humans and animals is regarded as the communication between the world and the world by means of the power of animals.

[-]. It symbolizes the unity of the human self and the divine animal in order to obtain the protection of the animal.

[-]. The tiger eating man actually reflects the myth of "tiger eating ghosts", that is, the mighty tiger is used to expel evil spirits and avoid evil spirits.

[-]. The tiger represents the natural world, symbolizing people's fear of nature, but it must be attached to nature, showing the weakness of human nature.
