My system is not decent

Chapter 1397 Five Famous Persons
Seeing a dilapidated warship carrying a batch of national treasure-level bronzes heading out to sea, Chen Wenzhe naturally felt very sorry.

It was at this time that he suddenly discovered that something was pushed into the river on the transport ship.

Through backtracking, Chen Wenzhe was able to determine that the thing that was deliberately pushed into the river must be a bronze vessel.

This thing won't be damaged if dropped into the water, so this is someone's idea for money?
Or, is this someone who doesn't want these national treasures to be taken away?

Looking at the video slowly and studying it carefully, Chen Wenzhe found that only one bronze vessel was pushed into the water.

A bronze vessel that can be pushed into the water and sink quickly must be very large and heavy.

Otherwise, it is likely to be discovered, because these bronzes are packed in some wooden boxes.

Situations like this actually rarely happen, because most of the time, such heavy treasures are transported away by plane.

In the face of Chongbao, any kind of accident may happen, because human nature cannot stand the test.

For example, what Chen Wenzhe saw now confirmed this point.

Therefore, the safest way to transport national treasures to Wanwan back then was by air, because during this period, the time was short and there was no way to play tricks in the air.

Because of this, under the tight time situation, some treasures just want to be taken, but there is no way to take them.

In the end, they had no choice but to keep them on the mainland, and often these were some precious cultural relics.

This is another piece of legend, such as the legendary heavy weapon that escaped unharmed because it was too expensive to carry: the Stepmother Wu Ding!
I believe that many Chinese people are familiar with the stepmother Wuding.

This huge tripod with a height of 133 centimeters, a mouth length of 110 centimeters, a mouth width of 79 centimeters and a weight of 832.84 kilograms is the heaviest bronze vessel known in my country.

The excavation experience of Houmu Wuding can be said to be full of twists and turns.

In 1939, when Japan invaded China, people excavated it in Nanhe Anyang at this time.

But at that time, the Japanese army was very happy to hear that the Houmu Wuding, an ancient relic from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, had been unearthed, so they wanted to take it for themselves.

The villagers didn't want our country's cultural relics to fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, so they came up with an idea to dismantle the Houmuwu Ding into eight pieces, and then scattered them to various places to bury them.

However, many villagers who cherish cultural relics expressed their opposition.

So in the end, the villagers still buried the stepmother Wuding in another place.

Only in this way can the stepmother Wuding escape the fate of being plundered by the Japanese invaders.

In 1946, the Houmu Wuding was re-excavated and transported to Jinling.

At that time, this heavy treasure and the Maogong Ding were all given to Baldhead as a birthday gift for his 60th birthday, and were later assigned to the Jinling Central Museum for management.

The bald leader at that time also wanted to take the stepmother Wu Ding to Wanwan, but in the end it didn't work out.

There are two theories, one is that the stepmother Wuding was rescued because our army arrived in time.

However, the Maogong Ding, which was collected in the Central Museum together with the Houmuwu Ding, was transported to Wanwan at the same time, and is now one of the three national treasures of the Beitai Forbidden City.

If it is reasonable to speculate from another angle, it is very likely that the weight and volume of the Houmuwu Ding are too large to be transported, and the staff put it at the end before preparing to move it.

The Maogong Ding is relatively small in size and weighs only about 34 kilograms, so it was the first to be carried on the plane.

The subsequent Stepmother Wu Ding was too heavy, and it may also be due to omissions, so it ended up staying on the mainland.

This rhetoric was recognized by Qin Xiaoyi, then director of the Beitai Palace Museum.

In 1996, when Li Xiandeng, a researcher at the National Museum, visited Taiwan, Qin Xiaoyi explained the ins and outs of this incident to Li Xiandeng.

It turned out that at that time, because the Houmu Wuding was too huge and heavy, and the lifting equipment at that time was not enough to support its weight, it could not be transported to Wanwan.

However, some people doubt the authenticity of its explanation. After all, the Houmu Wuding was first discovered in Anyang and then transported to Jinling.

If there is no suitable lifting equipment, how can Houmu Wuding travel from Anyang to Jinling?

No matter what the reason is, the Empress Wu Ding finally stopped the fate of running around, and was finally included in the National Museum, becoming a very precious national treasure in the Mainland.

As we all know, Houmuwuding was originally called "Simuwuding", and the reason for changing its name comes from an archaeological experience in 1976.

At that time, a cultural relic was unearthed from the tomb of Fuhao in Anyang, which was later named "Stepmother Xin Ding".

And Fu Hao is a queen of Wu Ding, king of Shang, and a guess can be drawn from then on.

Both "Stepmother Xin Ding" and "Stepmother Wu Ding" were funerary objects for the queen of the Shang Dynasty at that time.

Then the word "hou" may refer to the meaning of "queen".

Then, according to the original name of "Si", it is obviously a bit inconsistent with the naming logic.

So some experts suggested that this word may not be the word "si", but the word "hou".

But scholars who support the title of "Simu Wuding" don't think so.

They believe that the word "si" may refer to the word "si".

At the same time, "Simuwu" may mean the bronze ware made for sacrifices to Muwu (the temple name of the mother of Shang Wang Wending), which also fits the purpose of the bronze ware at that time.

After nearly forty years of debate, "Simuwuding" was officially renamed "Houmuwuding" by the National Museum in 2011.

Although its popularity is not as wide as that of "Simu Wuding", it is also a symbol of refinement and progress.

In the process of transporting national treasures to the Chiang Party, many treasures were secretly left behind in various places among the people, and there are many legends.

There are even many fraudulent organizations that use this as a reason to commit fraud.

In fact, from the fate of the above three national treasures, it can be seen that it was inevitable to send a large number of treasures out in [-].

Unless it is absolutely necessary or there are objective reasons, it will never be left on the mainland at will.

Not to mention the so-called "buried treasure".

At that time, Wanwan was already the best home for the Jiang Party, which was at the end of its strength.

It is more logical to bring the treasure with you instead of burying it in a continent where the return date is uncertain.

Of course, it is not ruled out that various problems may occur during the transportation process, resulting in slipping through the net.

But these, based on the analysis of the situation at the time, are more likely to be circulated overseas rather than being hidden in the mountains again.

Therefore, the tripod that Chen Wenzhe saw was pushed into the Yangtze River, so it should have slipped through the net.

He had an accident during transportation, and such accidents should not be rare.

Just like the bird cape of the Qing Palace, some people don't want these treasures and are taken out of the country, even if they are bald and crooked.
