My system is not decent

Stealing curve patterns are very adaptable and can be changed randomly, and can be decorated on various parts of utensils. Decorations composed of stealing curve patterns generally do not engrave the ground pattern of cloud and thunder patterns.

Abstract patterns, which are popular at the same time as stealing curved patterns, also include heavy ring patterns and vertical scale patterns.

The heavy ring patterns are mostly oblong and circular images, and the continuous row is used as a decorative belt, which is applied to the rim or ring foot of the utensil.

The vertical scales are like the scales of aquatic animals, which are arranged in a staggered arrangement on the water vessel.

This kind of decoration first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, prevailed in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, and was still used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Therefore, through the evolution process of this kind of ornamentation, we can roughly infer which era the work is from.

In the photo, this piece of copper scorpion with a curved pattern is 28.5 cm long, 24 cm wide, 16 cm high and weighs 4.66 kg.

The whole is rectangular, with a straight mouth and a slanted abdominal wall. The body and cover are rectangular bucket-shaped, with a deep abdomen, four animal heads and half ring ears, and rectangular ring feet.

The top of the cover and the ring foot are decorated with stealing curve patterns, the cover and body are decorated with Kui dragon patterns, and the mouth edge is decorated with deformed cloud patterns.

The cover and body are the same size, symmetrical up and down, and can be snapped together, or the cover can be turned upside down to form two vessels.

According to this, the ceremony of Chen Wenzhe was in spring, but the ceremony of holding the horse in the inscription of Ju Zun was in the late autumn and early winter, which proves that the Zhou people shared the ceremony of Chen Wenzhe in spring and autumn.

Judging from the inscriptions on the cover of the Ju Zun and another cover of the Zun Ju found in the belly of the Zun Ju, it can be seen that there were not two Zun Zun originally made by Yu.

The main issue now is our core family and chronological issues.

In order to extol the virtue of Quwen, I wrote a textual examination of Xiaozhong (Taizhong) Yi to commemorate that favor.

Flipping through the photos one by one, Sheng Yanyan found that the unearthed bronzes were divided into two systems.

Have you ever imagined that the inscription was so muddy that time, and the bad image was translated?

Except for the round scroll pattern on the side of the abdomen, the whole vessel is completely realistic, depicting a vivid and lifelike image of a horse.

For example, a big pony looks very simple in shape, but Sheng Yanyan knows that it is a pony statue.

After taking a look at the photo album, it was a simple utensil at that time, but it looked like graves.

"Zhou Li School People" records: "Spring Festival Ma Zu Zhiju".

Therefore, the appearance of the stealing Shengyan bronze 簠 only increased the types of bronze wares in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was not very important for the study of the history, ritual system and social life of the Zhou Dynasty.

Works as realistic and vivid as Yuju Zun are very rare in Shang and Zhou bronzes, so they are extremely precious.

It was unearthed at the same time as the Ufang Yi and other utensils, and they all belong to the same utensils, and the time is also very close.

In ancient times, the price of horses was very low, as recorded in the inscription on the tripod.

Horses were so precious at the time, no wonder Sheng Yan valued them so much.

Seven slaves began to arrive at "a horse's bundle of silk". Even in the early Han Dynasty, according to "Historical Records: Biography of Huoying", the price of horses was lower than that of people.

Praise Zhou Xianwang for laying a small foundation and protecting the clan for thousands of years.

Based on this, I cannot judge that the owner of tomb No. 3 should be a woman, and the owner of tomb No. 4 should be a man.

Judging from the surrounding people, the age is indeed not that old. It seems that our family said that it was excavated a hundred years later, so there should be something wrong.

Tomb No. 3 and No. 4 are located in the north of the site. The two tombs are adjacent to each other and have similar shapes and structures.

That's right, those are not tombs, and the archaeological site is really formal, and the serial number is even marked under the photos.

Here, in those two tombs, a small amount of well-preserved bronze vessels were also unearthed.

Since it is a statue, there is a small probability that it is a wine container.

That and the number of horses given to Yu by the curved pattern in the inscription of the Juzun coincides with the number of horses given.

After all, Xing Zhiju doesn't have a lot of knowledge about ancient tombs, so I am very embarrassed, it has nothing to do with the gender of the tomb owner.

While flipping through the photos, Xing Zhiju sighed.

The phenomenon of digging a small number of niches under the tomb wall to place bronze wares is very common.

The burial custom of placing bronze vessels under the seven-story platform is completely the same as that of the Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou Dynasty tombs excavated in the past.

One is the business system, and the other is the local system, that is, the Zhou system.The "holding horse" in the inscription of the utensil should be a kind of ceremony.

It is 32.4 centimeters high and 34 centimeters long, without a cover, with circular swirls on the belly, no 94 characters on the chest, and no inscription 11 characters inside the cover.

For example, the first page just opened is not the first tomb excavated.

Of course, that is the historical value. In addition to the historical value, the artistic value of that work is also high.

"Is that the only one?" Xing Zhiju couldn't help asking.

These food utensils are regular in shape, delicate in pattern, and the casting technology is quite mature.

The smallest difference between the two tombs is that tomb No. 3 contained a small number of weapons, chariots and horses, and tools.

Its intention is the same as the intention of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty engraving "Eight Horses of Zhaoling" behind Zhaoling.

However, in the No. 4 tomb, there are completely such artifacts.

Yuju Zun is undoubtedly an important document for the study of horse politics in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the history of animal husbandry in your country.

Xing Zhiju has nothing to say, can our family support a huge and small museum, and the level is definitely high?

In ancient times, kings did not study the system of herding simple animals, and the inscription on the horse's inscription said that Quwen personally participated in the ceremony of holding the horse, which shows that the ancient times valued horse administration.

The erected ears seemed to be listening to something attentively.

After a little digging, Xing Zhiju discovered that we found many small tombs, but among them, tombs No. 3 and No. 4 are the most important.

Qu Wen personally bestowed two horses on Yu, and before offering them, Yu praised Qu Wen as the eldest son of the Forgotten School, allowing him to enjoy such a small honor.

With its childish eyes, it observes the surrounding world strangely.

At the same time, all kinds of food utensils have achieved unprecedented development in terms of quantity and shape.

Looking at the shape of the device, it should be a work in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After a little inspection, Xing Zhiju was sure that it was a group of Western Zhou tombs.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, some traditional wine vessels originated from the Shang Dynasty were greatly reduced.

Since the tombs are in groups, it means that there is no group of ancient kingdoms with disorderly inheritance and long existence.

Judging from the placement of those utensils, they were unconsciously placed in groups in the same niche, which may have nothing to do with their original use.

The stall owner sent another photo album if he had anything to offer.

从随葬品下看，3号墓中铜礼器31件，4号墓则没50件，但3号墓随葬铜礼器种类较4号墓丰富。

The image of the horse statue should not be the real image of the horse given by Quwen.

"Book of Rites · Music Book" records: "簠guizudou, institutional articles, and ritual tools."

The types of appliances that can be photographed are all complicated!

Looking at the photo and translating it, the meaning of the inscription is: Quwen was in the ceremony of Chen Wenzhe at the beginning of [厈攵] (place name) on Jiashen day in October of a certain year.

There are several niches on the east, west and north sides of the tomb wall, in which a small number of bronze containers are placed.
