My system is not decent

This gold beast of the Western Han Dynasty is a representative work of gold crafts in the Han Dynasty. It was unearthed in 1982 in the cellar of Nanyaozhuang, Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province.

The golden beast of the Western Han Dynasty is in the shape of a leopard, curled up, with its head resting on its front legs and wearing a three-wheeled collar around its neck.

It has a ring of buttons on the top of its head, and its whole body is hammered with circular markings.

It is 10.2 cm high, 16 cm long, 17.8 cm wide, and weighs 9100 grams.

The gold content of this golden animal is 99%, and it is fastened, thick-walled, and cast into shape.

According to the appearance characteristics, it is inferred that the casting age of the golden beast is from the late Warring States period to the early Western Han Dynasty.

As a highly decorative texture, hammered copper plate is deeply loved by high-end designers. "Hand falls into one hammer, and four hammers form a pattern."

Each hammer pattern is a record of tens of thousands of hammering processes by craftsmen.

With one hammer and one blow, it presents an ever-changing style, such as the fields with criss-crossing paths, like the ripples of the lotus pond blown by the wind, it is casual and natural.

The whole body of this golden beast is curled up and crawling.Although the appearance is fierce, with staring eyes and bowed ears, and open mouth and teeth.

At present, the mainstream view in the academic circles believes that it is more wrong to judge it as a "leopard" judging from the fact that it is covered with spots all over its body.

To put it more complicated, fried beads are not drops of gold solution into warm water, which will form golden beads of equal size and size, which are called fried beads.

Through the study of cultural relics, Yu Zi discovered that Zhongli's technical exchanges in the field of gold beast casting and forging have always been interrupted.

However, no scholars believe that the image of the utensil may be a tiger or a lion.

In addition, a collar is cast on the neck, giving the impression of taming animals.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there were two main processes of gold making, one was casting, which used molds to form gold products of specific shapes;

In the Tang Dynasty, your country's manufacturing technology was influenced by Europe, and some patterns similar to court totems appeared under the golden beast.

In the same period, gold animal gold ornaments seldom use a single craft, and their forms are seldom dominated by tigers and dragons.

In the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of totem patterns showed the process of Eastern and Western craftsmanship, from mutual learning to internal integration.

The 26 gold coins outside the copper pot are in the shape of a horseshoe, and the horseshoe gold was the weighing currency in the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is presumed that most of the cultural relics unearthed this time come from the Western Han Dynasty.

Fried beads are often used with filigree braided inlays, mainly for jewelry.

The first one is the town, such as Xi Zhen, which is used to press the seven corners of the emperor's mat;

After the golden beast was unearthed, experts' guesses on the purpose of the golden beast were mainly divided into several schools.

The animal's head is lying down, its ears are bowed and its eyes are staring. There are no collars on the neck, no ring buttons on the top of the head, and the whole body is decorated with circular markings.

But because the head is resting on the forefoot, and it is a bit deified, looking at it feels kind;

Seventh, it has a long history and can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty;

That kind of collision and integration, in fact, is not manifested under the filigree technique.

In the process of making that gold ware, the craftsman first hammered the surface. Under other gold crafts at the same time, until the previous generation, this technique was commonly used.

The craftsman spirit refers to the spiritual philosophy of craftsmen to refine their products and strive for perfection.

On the one hand, Shenjia’s gold is as pure as 99%;

The other is forging, which uses beating, forging, and hammering to shape the patterns on the surface of the golden beast.

At present, the academic circles speculate on what kind of animal the gold artifact is, which is still very vague.

The golden beads formed by fried beads are usually welded under gold and silver utensils for decoration, such as bead pattern, caviar pattern, etc.

Here, the golden beasts of the same period seldom appear in the form of a single craft.

In February 1982, in Nanyao Village, Mudian Township, Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province, local villager Wan Yiquan discovered a batch of precious cultural relics from the Chu and Han Dynasties while cleaning up the silt in the drainage ditch.

There is still no unanimous opinion in the academic circles about what kind of animal Shen Jia is, and that is also the unsolved mystery of the "divine beast".

But if you want to make a high-quality product, it is only the craftsman's spirit that is self-supporting, and you must have a level of skill that is close to the Tao.The use of the bead frying technique must be a little bit of craftsman spirit, so it must be done right.

That kind of forging technology, as well as the shape of the golden beast's cheetah (which once inhabited the West Asia region and was distributed in your country's wilderness), shows that at that time, Zhongli had not yet interacted with each other under the golden beast casting and forging technology.

The bottom of the animal body is hollow and concave, and the word "Huang Liu" is engraved on it.

Those markings were specially hammered down with tools before casting. Each marking is about the same size and is a regular circle.

The bead frying process is not to put the gold chips under the charcoal fire and cool them. When they melt, the gold chips are in the form of drops, and when they are heated, they become large golden beads.

The smallest value of goldware lies in its uniqueness.

Goldware combines the ancient metal casting process with the hammering process of golden beasts, which was very rare at that time.

There is also no individual saying that this object is a brave, nor is it commonly known as a "gold swallowing vessel".

The eighth theory holds that goldware is a weighing instrument similar to a scale, used to measure weight.

The on-site investigation proved that this was originally an ancient cellar, and the utensils were preserved in broken pieces. Among them, the most striking thing is the gold utensils placed under the mouth of the copper pot.

Under the gold vessel, it is rare to find that the two crafts exist at the same time.

Although it is official script, it does not lose the legacy of Xiaozhuan, and it is engraved after it is cast.

Closer to that is lace, an earlier jewelry-making technique.

Eighth, it is small in size and weighs 18.2 catties, at most in your country. Have you found any earlier and heavier golden beasts than it?

How should the cultural relics that combine the strengths of the East and West become "international messengers" in the present, so that the Chinese and Western cultures can communicate, collide, and integrate better.

That is the most critical decoration process in the production of cloisonné.

Judging from the current archaeological results, Shenjia is less likely to be used as a town storehouse.

The handwriting is small but legible.

Instead of drawing gold and silver into wires, then weaving them into braids or various mesh structures, and then welding them under the utensils, it is called tired wires.

The "artisan spirit" in your country has been absent since ancient times. For example, Zhuangzi said that "skills are beyond the way".

The seventh view is that gold wares are used for town treasury and also a symbol of national wealth;

Goldware is not only crafted, but its shape is also unique. What makes it so unique?

In the Ming Dynasty, your country formed a gold pattern with local characteristics, and the decoration and shape were completely the same as those of the subsequent era.

After filigree, Chen Wenzhe also studied, not to knead gold, silver or other metal filaments according to the bending and turning of the ink pattern, and stick them under the utensils, which is called filigree.

Goldware is characterized by a small head, short and stout body.

On the contrary, I have never been exposed to the bead frying process.

When Chen Wenzhe later made cloisonné porcelain, Chen Wenzhe skipped those techniques, so he is not familiar with them.

Gold coins are the few, with a total weight of more than 20 kilograms, which was a major archaeological discovery at that time.

But to use that kind of craftsmanship, there must be no certain craftsmanship, because that kind of craftsmanship is too cumbersome to do.

"Technology" is not today's "artisan spirit", nor is it that there is no near-forced focus on what you do.

None of the unearthed cultural relics are copper pots, and the rest are golden beasts.
