Name: Bronze tripod with square pattern Period: Erlitou Culture (about 21st century BC - 13th century BC) Later Specifications: 20 cm in height, 15.3 cm in diameter Introduction:

Inherited from Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties It has lasted for thousands of years and created a splendid bronze culture, which occupies an important position in the history of Chinese civilization. Among them, the tripod is the representative of my country's bronze culture. It is generally divided into round three-legged and square four-legged. It is called the "important weapon of the country" and is a symbol of the country and power.

According to relevant literature, in the late clan society, floods were raging in the Central Plains, and the various ethnic groups in China pushed Dayu to control the floods. Dayu looked up at the astronomy, surveyed the geography, took advantage of the situation, and opened up the river. After 18 years of unremitting efforts, he finally conquered the floods, achieved clear water in the rivers, and achieved peace in the world. Therefore, all the Chinese tribes elected Dayu as their leader. Dayu divided the world into Kyushu, ordered the governors of Kyushu to contribute bronze, cast Jiuding, and engraved the famous mountains, rivers, and strange objects of Jiuzhou on the body of the Jiuding, using one tripod to symbolize a state, and concentrated the Jiuding in the capital of the Xia Dynasty.

In this way, 'Jiuzhou' has become synonymous with China, and 'Jiuding' has become a symbol of the country and power. For thousands of years, the tripod has been endowed with too much mystery and has been condensed into an abstract cultural symbol and an important symbol of the Chinese nation.

This bronze vessel was unearthed at the Erlitou site in Yanshi in 1975. It has a closed mouth, a round belly, a flat bottom, and three conical legs. Two ring-shaped ears are cast on the rim, and the belly is decorated with irregular square patterns. . The tripod is cast in a molded style, dignified and regular, but a bit crude and rough, and the decorative patterns are concrete and simple. The checkered bronze tripod is the earliest bronze tripod discovered so far. It is known as the "No. 1 tripod in China" and can be regarded as a national treasure. Name: Turquoise Dragon-shaped Ware Age: Erlitou Culture (about 21st century BC - 16th century BC) Later Specifications: About 65 cm long, made of more than 2,000 thin and small turquoise pieces of different shapes glued and inlaid become. Introduction: In the spring of 2002, while cleaning a tomb in the south courtyard of the palace at the Erlitou site in Yanshi, Luoyang, archaeologists discovered this turquoise dragon-shaped vessel - about 65 centimeters long and composed of more than 2,000 pieces of various shapes and fine shapes. Small turquoise pieces are glued and inlaid. Among them, the smallest turquoise piece is only 0.2 cm in diameter and about 0.1 cm thick. The head of the dragon-shaped vessel is oblate, with many dragon whiskers or temples extending out. The snout is slightly protruding, the nose bridge is obvious in the middle of the forehead, and the fusiform eye sockets are symmetrical. The body of the dragon is slightly curved, with the middle ridge sloping downward to both sides. The body is covered with diamond-shaped scales, and the tip of the tail is curled inward. Not far from the tail end of the dragon-shaped vessel, there is a turquoise strip that is almost vertical to the "dragon body".

Unlike today's people who prefer gold and jade, during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, turquoise has always been regarded as a gemstone and was mostly used by nobles. Therefore, any tombs with turquoise ornaments unearthed are mostly tombs of very high grade. "Before the turquoise dragon was unearthed, three bronze medallions inlaid with turquoise were unearthed from the Erlitou site. They were colorful and exquisitely made, causing a sensation in academic circles at home and abroad." Zhang Yufang, director of the Municipal Museum's Custody Department, said that this green medallion was The turquoise dragon-shaped vessel looks like a swimming dragon, which is very rare among early dragon-shaped vessels. It is a well-deserved "super national treasure" and was named "Chinese Dragon". Name: Yuzhang Era: Late Erlitou Culture (about 21st century BC - 16th century BC) Specifications: 48.5 cm long, flat rectangular shape, with a beveled edge at one end and a perforation at the other end. Introduction:

The Jade Zhang was unearthed from the Erlitou site in Yanshi in 1975. The Jade Zhang was mainly popular in the Xia and Shang Dynasties. It was one of the ceremonial jade used by the ancients in ceremonial occasions such as sacrifices, court meetings, and engagements.

The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were the initial formation period of the Chinese nation’s etiquette system. During the initial formation of the etiquette system, jade was gradually endowed with more and more cultural connotations and became one of the important artifacts used by the ancients in ceremonial occasions such as sacrifices, court meetings, and appointments.

In 1975, the jade Zhang unearthed from the Erlitou site in Yanshi is a typical representative.

The jade is 48.5 cm long, in the shape of a flat rectangular parallelepiped, with a thin and wide front end, flat sides, and a slightly concave and curved edge; there are tooth decorations on both sides of the rear end, and there are teeth corresponding to the tooth decorations on both sides. There are parallel negative lines; a rectangular handle with a perforation in the front center of the handle. Jade Zhang first appeared in the late Neolithic Age and was mainly popular in the Xia Dynasty and Shang Dynasty. So far, the oldest jade Zhang found in my country was unearthed from the Simatai site of Longshan Culture in Shandong. Among the jade Zhangs unearthed in our country, there are fewer Jade Zhangs after the Shang Dynasty, and almost none after the Warring States Period. Name: Mother Drum Bronze Square Lei Era: Shang Dynasty Specifications: Overall height 50 cm, shoulder width 33 cm Introduction: Mother Drum Square Lei (léi), unearthed in Beiyang, Luoyang in 1963. The mother drum square lei is a typical representative of the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty.

Lei is a kind of wine vessel that was popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The female drum is a copper square shaped lei with sloping shoulders, a straight mouth and a rounded foot. The cover is in the shape of four roofs, with an animal head holding an ear. There is an animal head on the lower abdomen, the neck and shoulders are decorated with dragon patterns, the belly is decorated with long bird patterns and drooping dragon patterns. The lid and The circle feet are decorated with animal faces and dragon patterns. There are two words "Mother Drum" on each mouth of the lid. The whole body is decorated with a relief animal face composed of dragon patterns and cloud and thunder patterns, and the abdomen is decorated with a hanging leaf pattern composed of dragon patterns. The lid of the vessel is like a roof with slopes on all sides. There are protruding door edges at the four corners and the middle of the vessel. There are cast inside the lid. The two characters "Mugu" in the inscription should be the title given to a woman from the Gu Kingdom who married a man from her mother's family. The whole vessel has a solid and majestic appearance and gorgeous patterns on the body. It was popular in the late Shang Dynasty and is a fine product among the bronze wine vessels in the late Shang Dynasty. Name: Jade Ge Era: Shang Dynasty Specifications: 48 cm long Introduction: The jade Ge unearthed in Xizhaizi Village, Chenwu Township, Luoning County in 1985, is 48 cm long and has an oblique triangular front. It was mainly popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Although its shape It is similar to the later dagger, but it is actually a ritual weapon. The ancients called the beautiful stone "jade". Later, these exquisite and clear jade were given the connotation of understanding the gods. Ge is a weapon commonly used in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Among them, using jade as a weapon first appeared in the Erlitou culture and became popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Therefore, jade Ge is generally unearthed in tombs from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The evolution of the shape of jade Ge can be divided into three stages: the early Xia and Shang Dynasty is the rise stage of Jade Ge. At this time, the size of jade Ge is generally larger, usually about 30 centimeters. The longest one was unearthed in Huangpi, Hubei. The ruins of Panlong City are 97 centimeters long. At the same time, the jades of this period were slightly curved, and most of them had no central ridge, only blunt ridges, and simple or no decoration.

The late Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty were the popular periods of jade Ge. At this time, the size of jade Ge became significantly smaller, with large ones ranging from 15 cm to 20 cm long and small ones ranging from 4 cm to 5 cm long. Jade Ge can be divided into two types: straight body and curved body, both of which have a central ridge or three ridges. The decorations are also complex, including thick sun patterns, animal face patterns and deformed cloud patterns. After the Western Zhou Dynasty, jade Ge gradually disappeared and basically disappeared after the Han Dynasty.

As a ritual instrument, jade Ge is mainly used to pray for strength and victory, and to demonstrate majesty and rank. The big jade Ge can be placed in the house or hung on the wall to ward off evil spirits; the small jade Ge can be hung around the waist or neck to show majesty or pray for victory. Jade Ge of this shape are also commonly found in Jinsha and Sanxingdui sites in Sichuan, and should be the result of cultural exchanges between the Central Plains culture and surrounding areas. Name: Jade Yue Period: Shang Dynasty (1600 BC - 1046 BC) Specifications: 14.3 cm in length, 11.3 cm in width, 1.5 cm in thickness, and 5.2 cm in diameter. Introduction: As an axe-shaped jade instrument, the origin of the word "king", the jade ax is a symbol of royal power, representing the power of life and death. Yue should have evolved from stone axe.

Because the jade ax is broad and heavy, it became one of the most important ritual objects in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, symbolizing power and majesty. According to "Shuowen": "Yue is the king's axe." "Shangshu" records: "The king's left stick is yellow." This shows that the jade ax symbolizes royal power, the power of life and death, and punishment. "In the oracle bone inscriptions, the oldest writing in China, the character '王' is drawn in the shape of '戉'." Gaoxi Province said that the earliest character "王" evolved from "戉", indicating that on the eve of the civilized era, During the period of military democracy, military leaders and political leaders merged into one, "and the ax held by these people became a symbol of power."

In ancient times in our country, due to the relative lack of natural knowledge, people often used the best items to offer sacrifices to heaven and gods. "Jade is the best sacrifice that people offer to gods." Gao Xisheng said, not only that, the ancients also gave full play to their imagination and gave jade many connotations, such as purity, power, etc., and used jade to express certain wishes and thoughts, and then It has formed a long-standing jade culture in our country. Name: Shu Fang Yi Period: Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC - 771 BC) Specifications: Height 32.6 cm, mouth length, 23.5 cm, width, 19 cm. Weight 7.75 kg Introduction: In the autumn of 1947, in a small town on the outskirts of Luoyang In the southwest of Li Village, an ancient tomb was stolen. A large number of precious cultural relics were unearthed from the ancient tombs, including bronze ritual tripods, gui (guǐ), Yi, Zun, weapons Ge, spears, bells, horse face decorations, jade, jade knives, etc. After being unearthed, most of these precious cultural relics were lost overseas. In 1960, when the municipal cultural relics department conducted a cultural relics survey, they discovered and collected a bronze ware from this batch of cultural relics - the uncle's daughter Fang Yi who is now in the Luoyang Museum. The Shufang Yi is rectangular in shape and is a typical wine vessel in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. The lid, body and seat are decorated with a three-layer and a half relief pattern with cloud and thunder patterns as the ground. The main pattern on the lid and belly is the Taotie pattern, with only the mouth rim The lower part, the foot of the circle and the top of the cover are decorated with a phoenix and bird pattern. The pattern is dense and detailed, and the casting is exquisite.

The shape of this Fang Yi is very similar to the famous Ling Fang Yi and Zhe Fang Yi. There are 3 lines of 12-character inscriptions cast on its lid and inside its belly, "My uncle gave it to Wang Si and used it as a treasure to honor the Yi people." According to the shape of the vessel and the inscription, Mr. Guo Moruo, a great literary and historical figure, believed that "it must have been a vessel from the time of King Wu or King Cheng." According to the inscription The "Wang Si" is Tai Si, the concubine of King Wen, and Cheng Shuwu, the younger brother of King Wu, is the son of King Wen. This artifact is an important royal vessel and a typical bronze ritual vessel in the Western Zhou Dynasty. There is only one of this kind in the country and it is extremely precious. Name: Inlaid gold, silver and bronze tripod Period: Warring States (475 BC - 221 BC) Specifications: Height 16.5 cm, abdominal diameter 13.2 cm. Introduction:

Cultural relics workers came after hearing the news and found wrong gold, silver and bronze tripods in the cellar. The copper tripod lid is formed into a spherical shape with attached ears and short flow. The hooves and abdomen of the three beasts are decorated with fine gold-petaled flowers and triangular cloud patterns. It is a rare arts and crafts work. A tripod is a vessel used to hold liquid food. The head ring is a component used for carrying, and is often found on the abdomen of tripods and pots. The shape of the head ring used as the cover button is extremely rare among Shang and Zhou bronzes. This kind of gold and silver cooking utensils is only found in the homes of royal nobles, and the location where this tripod was unearthed happens to be in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Royal City ruins area in Luoyang City. Therefore, it can be considered that this exquisite and luxurious utensil should be a product of the Eastern Zhou royal family.

The ancients had many decorative techniques. "Inlaid" means to embed things in or add edges to the outside. "Inlay" means to set things in the gaps, and "cuo" means to polish them with cuò stones to make them smooth. To make gold and silver, also known as gold and silver, is to first cast or chisel (zàn) grooves on the surface of the bronze, then embed gold and silver wires, sheets, etc., hammer it firmly, and then polish it smooth with a stone to make it consistent with the gold and silver. The surfaces of the objects are flat and finally polished with charcoal and water, so that the surface of the bronze and the gold and silver patterns show different colors, reflecting the magnificent patterns and achieving a decorative effect that highlights the patterns and inscriptions. The fine craftsmanship of gold and silver is a product of the development of ancient science and technology to a certain stage. From another aspect, it also shows the glory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Name: Warring States Period: Warring States Period (475 B.C. - 221 B.C.)

The appearance of this beauty was extremely rare at that time. The beauties' costumes and outfits are even more rare in the past. The image wearing a mask especially shows his mysterious identity, although there is still no conclusion on this. However, it is generally believed that his identity should be the image of Fang Xiangshi who exorcises ghosts and evil spirits and performs Nuo opera. This provides important physical information for studying the history of clothing and religion during the Warring States Period in my country.

After Cao Wei established the country in Luoyang, Taixue prospered again. After Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, he determined to organize the steles of the "Xiping Stone Classic" and engraved scripture stones as a supplement. So there was the "Zhengshi Stone Sutra" which was carved from the second year of Zhengshi (AD 241). During the Northern Wei Dynasty, local officials lacked stone materials to build temples, so they used local materials and used some stone tablets from the stone scriptures. When the Eastern Wei Dynasty established its capital in Yecheng, the rulers wanted to move the two stone scriptures from Luoyang to Yecheng via waterway. However, when they were transported to Mengzhou City, the embankment collapsed and nearly half of the stone scriptures fell into the Yellow River. When they were transported to Yecheng, , there are only 52 pieces left in the "Han and Wei Shi Jing".

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the rulers transported some of the stone scriptures from Luoyang to Chang'an, and soon they were transformed into pillar foundations by a government department of the Sui Dynasty. By the early years of the Tang Dynasty, when Wei Zheng collected stone scriptures, "not even one of them remained". At present, the remaining text on all the remaining stele tablets of the "Zhengshi Shi Jing" in China is only about 2,500 words.
