My system is not decent

Since the Tang Dynasty unearthed gold and silver wares on a large scale, Chen Wenzhe was familiar with the shape of some gold and silver wares, so he could recognize the Tang Dynasty gold and silver wares at a glance.

Ancient Chinese gold and silver wares are deeply cherished by people for their precious materials, gorgeous decorations and exquisite craftsmanship.

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of the development of ancient gold and silver wares in my country, and gold and silver wares were one of the symbols of the magnificent Tang Dynasty court art.

On New Year's Day in 1982, a Tang Dynasty silverware cellar was discovered in Dingmaoqiao, Zj City, Jiangsu Province.

This is one of the three Tang Dynasty cellars that have been exhibited before, and what no one knows is that there is a more secret cellar not far from this cellar.

The most important thing is that this cellar is related to another cellar, or they probably have the same owner.

The cellar was buried about 1.3 meters deep, and ten silver wine jars were unearthed.

There are all kinds of silverware in the urn, and there are also large silver boxes, basins, hairpins, etc. stacked on the west side of the silver urn.

A total of more than 9500 pieces of silverware were unearthed in the cellar, including wine urns, basins, gilded "Analects of Confucius jade candle" turtle-shaped wine making cups, gilded wine making chips, holders, bowls, boxes, bracelets, hairpins, etc.

Among them, the number of silver hairpins is the largest, with 1760 pieces.

A circle of peony flowers is engraved on the belly, swan geese are engraved under the circle's feet, and lotus petals are decorated on the edges of the feet.

The cellar that Chen Wenzhe saw didn't have a lot of utensils without the word "Wisdom".

The lotus leaf-shaped salt platform cover is 7.3 cm in height and 20.6 cm in diameter.

It cannot be seen from those things that the rich people in the Tang Dynasty were not less luxurious.

Two box bottoms were also unearthed, one with seven lotus petals and a broken branch flower carved in the center, surrounded by four parrots, all carved in gold.

The surface of the tea spoon is hemispherical, and the long flat handle is slightly curved.The back of the handle is engraved with the seven characters "Lishi" and is 26 cm long.

Rolled ruffles.The top is decorated with persimmon stalk-shaped buttons, the cover is chiseled with hyperbolas, and seven fish tails hang from the side mouth.

The cover surface is arc-convex, and is fastened with the mouth of the mother and son.

The other is not a teaspoon, it is 33 cm long, the side is shovel-shaped, nearly oval, and the long flat handle is slightly curved.The back of the handle is engraved with the word "Wisdom".

Wide eaves, deep belly, round bottom.

For example, tea boxes in the Tang Dynasty were divided into two categories, the small ones were used to hold tea cakes, and the large ones were used to hold tea powder.

Many of them have high research value, such as the silver tea kettle with lifting beams.

The following text contains a description of the purpose of the tea rules.

The seven characters "Lishi" are engraved on the inside. The realistic style of the vessel is weak. The stems and veins of the lotus leaves are very realistic. The chiseling process is fine, and the lines are smooth and dense.The reason why those things are said to be luxuries is that they are mainly used by ordinary people, and they will be so particular about them.

Two pieces of tea pots (鍑, fu) were unearthed.

The abdomen is decorated with rhombus-shaped continuous patterns, and the ring feet are decorated with variant lotus petal pattern belts.

A silver pot similar to this was unearthed from the Tang Dynasty cellar in Hejia Village, Chang'an.

Tea is only a measuring device, and it is also used to beat and stir the soup flower to dissolve the tea powder in the soup when ordering tea.

Does Lu Yu specifically mention tea spoons in "The Classic of Tea Seven Zhizhi Utensils", and there is no mention in "The Classic of Tea Seven Zhizhi Boils": "Where to drink, put the bowls to make the foam evenly." It means that before the tea is boiled, it is Use a spoon to scoop out the tea soup from the tea kettle, and then pour it into a tea bowl for drinking.

Between the two is a circle of modified lotus petal patterns, alternated with intertwined lotus flowers, with caviar patterns as the substrate.

Except for those tea sets, there are not many silverware, but it seems that they are also used for drinking tea, such as the silver salt table cover in the shape of a lotus leaf.

Among the Tang Dynasty cellars discovered in Dingmaoqiao, Zj City, Jiangsu Province, many utensils without the inscription "Wisdom" were also found.

It cannot be said that just for drinking tea, we have come up with very few tricks.

Fried or boiled tea was prevalent in the Tang Dynasty. Cake tea had to be ground into powdered tea for drinking, and both caked and powdered tea needed to be stored in containers.

Gilt silver tea box in the shape of lotus petals, 7.5 cm in height, 9.5 cm in belly diameter and 6.5 cm in foot diameter.

Such utensils were called catkins in Tang Dynasty.

In addition to those special daily necessities, there are also some luxury items, such as a small silver tea box with a gilded double phoenix pattern and a lid.

The tea rule, called the teaspoon, is a measuring device.

One piece has a pair of ear protectors and a ring-shaped lifting beam along the surface, and the seven characters "Lishi" are engraved along the inside.

The inscription "Lishi" and "Wu Shi Si Si Liang Yi Qian Er" are engraved on the bottom.

Seven out of lotus petals, the top of the box is arc-shaped, the lid of the box is connected with the mouth of the box body, the abdomen is straight, the abdomen is retracted, and the seven-shaped trumpet-shaped ring foot.

"The Book of Tea" says: "Calvin is made of pig iron, Hongzhou is made of porcelain, and Laizhou is made of stone. Porcelain and stone are both elegant utensils. They are not solid and difficult to last. Silver is the most clean. .”

"The Book of Tea" states: "Huo gong, a name for chopsticks, if used frequently, is one foot and eight inches in diameter. The top is flat and truncated, with the genus of green onion table hook (suo), and it is made of iron or cooked copper."

The silver wares unearthed in this cellar can be classified into tea utensils, wine utensils, ornaments, makeup utensils and medicine utensils by category.

A pair of grass parrots are carved in the center of the cover, surrounded by 10 flying geese.

Seven out of lotus petals, straight abdomen, adduction on the abdomen, trumpet-shaped ring feet;

Put the tea powder into the kettle, and measure it if you want to use tea.

Four gold-plated silver tea boxes with parrot pattern, dome lid, mother-in-law mouth, straight belly folded into a flat bottom, short circle feet, diameter 4 cm, foot diameter 11.4 cm.

The reason why Shi Yanyu believed that the cellar from the Tang Dynasty that was discovered in Dingmaoqiao, Zj City, Jiangsu Province, belonged to the same owner, and it was not related to the inscription "hercules".

There are no silver chopsticks unearthed from the underground palace of Famen Temple in Fufeng, Western Shaanxi, and they are connected by chains braided with silver threads.There is no record of "a pair of fire chopsticks" in the clothing tent unearthed in the underground palace.

A pair of grass parrots are hammered and engraved on the top, intertwined with intertwined lotus flowers, the bottom is covered with caviar patterns, and the abdomen under the cover is decorated with a continuous pattern of intertwined chrysanthemums.

In addition, there are 15 silver tea boxes with plain surface, shaped, small Datong gilt silver box with parrot pattern, and the seven characters of "Wisdom" are engraved on the bottom or ring foot.

"The Classic of Tea": "Then, seashells, oysters and clams, or copper, iron, bamboo, daggers, etc. are used. The amount, the accuracy, and the degree. For one liter of boiled water, use the end Square-inch daggers, if the thin ones are bad, reduce them, and those who are addicted to thick ones, increase them, so it goes."

The cover is carved with embossed flowers, with the pattern of double phoenix holding grass as the main body, and 8 pairs of flying geese facing each other are engraved on the edge, with intertwined lotus and caviar patterns in between;

Huozhu was called Huojiao in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, charcoal-fired stoves were used to cook tea.

The catkin is a tea pot, which was popular in the Tang Dynasty. The tea catkin is one of the important tea utensils. The crushed tea powder is put into the tea pot for decoction.

It is 10 cm high and 25.6 cm in diameter.

That still has to be done, there is no silver tea spoon in the tea set.

One has a lifting beam, and the seven characters "Lishi" are engraved along the inside.

Two gilt silver tea boxes with double phoenix patterns and lids, 26 cm in height, 31 cm in diameter, 32 cm in belly diameter and 25.6 cm in bottom diameter.

Cai Xiang's "Tea Record Teaspoon" says: "The teaspoon must be heavy, and the whisk is weak. Gold is the next, while silver and iron are the main ones in the world. Bamboo is heavy, and tea is built."

For example, the silver fire chopsticks are not fire gongs, but the sound of jia is like a tachyon. The lower part is engraved with the seven characters "Lishi" and is 32 centimeters long.

One is in the shape of seven lotus petals, with a dragon pattern engraved on the bottom, and a floating cloud on the foot.
