Chapter 1406. Splendid Rivers and Mountains System 96

The bronze sacred tree consists of three parts: the base, the tree and the dragon. The base is dome-shaped, symbolizing the "sacred mountain"; there are nine sacred birds on the tree, and experts speculate that there should be a sacred bird on the top, for a total of ten; there are some holes on the trunk for hanging objects. There are many different opinions about the specific meaning and function of the bronze sacred tree. One view is that it is a ritual instrument for the ancient Shu people, and together with the nine sacred birds on the tree, it symbolizes the "Ten Sun Myth".

It is recorded in "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Nine suns are on the lower branches, and one is on the upper branch." The nine divine birds on the tree are inevitably connected with the sun, and in ancient times, people believed that the sun in the sky was carried by flying birds.

Since the bronze tree has been unearthed, Han Zifeng plans to take out the snake-browed bronze fish and show it off. He scanned the Internet again. Is there a similar model? In the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", the snake-browed bronze fish is an important item. It is described as a miniature projector, and its scales record the history of the ancient Dongxia Kingdom and the secrets behind the bronze door of the Yunding Palace in Changbai Mountain. As long as the right light is used, the text on it will be reflected on the wall.

In reality, there is no such item as the snake-browed bronze fish. However, there is a cultural relic called the Western Zhou bronze fish. The bronze fish of the Western Zhou Dynasty had two functions: one was used as currency at the time, which had the function of currency equivalent to maintain economic development; the other was used as a decoration during burial, which was said to have the function of warding off evil spirits. The three-dimensional carp-shaped bronze ware is fat but well-proportioned, and the scales carved out of fine lines are neatly arranged. Wine can be poured into the rectangular mouth of the back and then poured out from the opened fish mouth.

When Zi Feng saw this, he chose to teleport to the side of the Western Zhou bronze fish statue. His alarm bells were still ringing, but Zi Feng still didn't care and happily took pictures of the fish statue. Xiao Qi was typing calmly.

Bronze fish-shaped vessel from the Western Zhou Dynasty, a national first-class cultural relic, 15cm high, 7x4cm in diameter, weighing 1.12kg. A wine vessel. The whole body is in the shape of a carp, with a plump body, a split tail, a slightly open mouth, a hollow mouth, but with a partition that is not connected to the cavity, and a small perforation in the middle of the lower lip. The eyes are round, with thick yin lines to draw the eye circles and pupils, and thin yin lines to draw the eye sockets on the outside of the eyes. There is a simplified fish whisker with a curved pattern on both sides of the gills, and the fish body is covered with yin lines of fish scales on both sides. There is a rectangular opening on the back of the fish, with a lid on it, which is buckled with the opening of the fish body. The lid is equipped with a dorsal fin-shaped button, and the lower part of the two sides of the button is equipped with a half-ring button connected to a button ring. There is a fine yin line carved carp pattern on each side of the lid, two dragon and snake-shaped patterns on the edge, and a yin line curved pattern on the rear edge of the lid. There are 4 human-shaped feet under the belly of the fish to support it. The shape of the fish-shaped vessel is lifelike and vivid, beautiful and elegant, and can be called a bronze art treasure.

After confirming the snake-browed bronze fish, Zi Feng thought of the tomb guardian beast. She was not very familiar with this thing, but didn't she have Baidu? In some novels, tomb guardian beasts were portrayed as guardian beasts with mysterious powers, usually existing in ancient tombs or underground palaces. They were endowed with various strange abilities and images to protect the soul of the tomb owner from intrusion or to prevent the invasion of tomb robbers.

Zi Feng still teleported in front of the real tomb guardian beast. This was the Cangzhou Museum. Zi Feng was not polite. He picked up the tomb guardian beast and continued to shoot frantically, completely ignoring the alarm bells. When everyone else arrived, Zi Feng had already finished shooting and threw the tomb guardian beast back to its original position. Xiao Qi had already started silently, typing the rest of the introduction.

Tomb guardian beasts are a common funerary object in ancient tombs. According to archaeological discoveries and research data, tomb guardian beasts were first seen in the tombs of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. They have different shapes, usually with animal faces and antlers, combining the advantages of human and animal bodies in the real world, and are shaped into a mighty, ferocious, and fierce appearance. The main function of tomb guardian beasts is to guard the underground palace of the mausoleum for emperors and generals, to suppress the tomb and drive away evil spirits, and to protect the souls of the dead. Tomb guardian beasts in different periods and regions may vary in shape and style.

In some periods of history, tomb guardian beasts often appeared in pairs, one with a human face and a beast body, and the other with a beast face and a beast body, mostly in a squatting position. After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, with the development of the commodity economy and the change of people's ideas and concepts, tomb guardian beasts gradually decreased, and other objects began to replace their position in burial objects. These real tomb guardian beasts reflect the culture, art and funeral customs of the time, and provide important physical evidence for the study of ancient society. They are part of the ancient tomb culture, not creatures with actual life or supernatural powers. Their value lies mainly in history, culture and art, helping people understand the beliefs, aesthetics and funeral concepts of the ancients.

Zi Feng wondered what else was there? She flipped through it and found a hexagonal copper bell. She felt that there should be something similar in reality. After checking, she found that there was a bronze bell in reality.

The hexagonal copper bell appeared in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". It was described as a bell with mysterious power. Once people get close to it, they will fall into an illusion. Even the sound of the bell can affect people's minds or summon some mysterious power.

Zi Feng felt the bronze bell and teleported to a museum. She picked up the bell and took a few photos. She even shook it. Although it was an antique, it still made a sound. After the photos were taken, she put the bell back in place and waited for Xiao Qi to code the rest of the introduction.

The alarm bells were still ringing. The Wolf King sighed and seriously looked for the curator here and called him to tell them not to interfere with the child's promotional film. What could the curator say? That's it.

Bronze bells are a common artifact in ancient times. They have many uses, including: 1. Musical instruments: they can make clear sounds and are used to play music or as accompaniment in other ceremonies. 2. Religious instruments: they are used in some religious ceremonies and may have specific religious symbolic meanings. 3. Decorations: they are used as ornaments, worn or hung on objects to add beauty. 4. Horse harness: bells hung on horses serve as decoration and warning.

Bronze bells from different historical periods and cultural backgrounds have their own unique shapes, sizes and patterns, reflecting the craftsmanship and aesthetic concepts of the time. These bronze bells are important historical and cultural heritages, providing a physical basis for studying religion, art, life and other aspects of ancient society.

Zi Feng thought about it and complained, "If this is a musical instrument, didn't ancient people have so-called sound power? Using internal force to stimulate sound waves to attack others, so the setting of confusing people in the novel is within the scope of realization. Doesn't Huang Yaoshi have the song of the rising tide in the blue sea? This is very easy to accept."
