My system is not decent

Look carefully at the cows on the small square in front of the building, these are real cows!

Niu Hu Bronze Eucalyptus, Xixia No. [-] Niu, Bronze Niu Zun, these are all famous divine cattle.

In addition to these, there are imitations of the shepherd boy and herding cattle of the Ji Provincial Museum, the sapphire reclining cow of the Qilu Museum, the painted flat pot of the Beihu Provincial Museum, the ox-shaped lead figurines of the Gan Provincial Museum, and the rhinoceros watching the moon of the Xijiang Provincial Museum. Bronze mirrors and more.

So many cattle certainly did not appear for nothing.

Just like a dragon, it slowly evolves from the Jade Pig Dragon at the beginning.

Therefore, the origin of the dragon is related to the pigs, which are closely related to our ancestors.

The same is true for cattle, even more important than pigs.

The artistic image of cattle is widely used in daily utensils, accessories, weapons, and musical instruments. From this we can see the profound significance of cattle in the lives of ancient people and people's love for cattle.

Cattle are not only treasures in museums and loyal partners of farmers, but also gods in the "Shan Hai Jing" and spiritual totems praised by literati.

We not only love and praise cattle, but also muster up the "bull energy" in the year of the ox, full of "bullness", and move forward bravely.

Our people have a deep affection for cattle, which can be seen only from the collections of museums all over our country.

"Is this one made of jade?"

Finally, Chen Wenzhe stopped in front of a jade ox.

He knew that the jade quality of this sapphire lying ox itself was not very good, and it was a coincidence that it was carved with a large piece of sapphire now.

Perhaps it is because the jade itself is dark gray-brown. This round withered jade ox is not particularly bright and eye-catching, but this does not affect its connotation.

This piece of jade ox is in a lying shape, looking forward with its head held high, its ears upright and decorated with cloud and thunder patterns, the word "Chen", a round mouth, and a drooping tail that sticks to the tail, giving people a naive feeling.

The round mouth of the cow's mouth and the end of the lower jaw form a penetration, which is convenient for wearing with a rope.

"Actually, these are nothing. The most important thing, in the hall facing the cows, is the treasure!"

At this point, Zheng Yu became even more proud. He never expected that a trip would allow him to find a big treasure in a farmhouse.

"Is there something better?" Chen Wenzhe was really surprised this time.

The cows here are all imitations after all, so the big baby that Zheng Yu mentioned must be the real one?
"It's just bad luck. We asked someone to make a preliminary appraisal. It seems to be a bronze plate, but it doesn't look like a plate. It looks like a tripod, but it has no legs." Zhang Yijie said.

Cao Qingchun also said at this time: "When it was discovered, it was used as a cow trough to feed cows."

Chen Wenzhe's curiosity was aroused, he really wanted to see what this cow trough was.

"Beautiful dragon plate? An imitation, right? I remember it seems to be something that was placed at the door of the city government somewhere?"

Walking into the gate of the museum, if you take a casual look, you can see the large bronze ware facing the gate.

Just looking at the dragon pattern inside, Chen Wenzhe recognized it, this thing is very famous, it is impossible for him not to recognize it, and it is impossible to admit that it is wrong.

...

It's just that the bronze plate with the dragon pattern in front of me is too big.

"Is it really a plate?" Zheng Yu said a little disappointed.

"Why are you disappointed?" Cao Qingchun said disdainfully.

"Of course I'm disappointed. How much better is this a tripod? Even if there are no inscriptions on things handed down from generation to generation, they are very meaningful!" Zheng Yu said angrily.

Chen Wenzhe smiled: "The ones on it are the Kuilong pattern, and the Panlong. It's not easy for these to appear on any bronze vessel. You don't know? What's more, this is always a big plate, no, it should be a huge plate!"

Chen Wenzhe looked around the bronze plate carefully.

This is indeed a bronze vessel, but if it is a plate, many people will not understand.

This "plate" is more than half a meter high, and there is a base underneath.

The whole body of the plate is covered with fine patterns, especially in the middle of the plate there is a floating faucet, which is lifelike.

Other places are vaguely covered with strange patterns;
The most special thing is that there is a "faucet" protruding from the plate, coupled with the external patina, no need to think too much, this copper plate must be an antique.

Such a plate has a dragon head and a dragon pattern, so the name is ready to come out.

This is the Kuilong Panlong Pan. The more formal full name should be the Bronze Kui Pattern Panlong Pan.

With a name, it is easy to identify. This kind of plate must have been unearthed in China, and it is a national treasure, so it is very famous.

Since he is famous, with Chen Wenzhe's memory, it is natural that he does not know about it.

However, the plate he knew was not as big as the one in front of him.

In March 1984, an old man in Guanweitong Village, Chenshan Township, Wenling, Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province passed away;
This should have been a sad event, but it turned out to be a "happy event" in the field of archaeology and cultural relics.

The old man who passed away was an "old householder" in Guanweitong Village, and his sons Tong Baoyou and Tong Youqing were also well-known in the village.

Therefore, after the old man passed away, the neighbors in the neighborhood also helped to manage it;

In 1984, "doing funerals" was much more cumbersome than it is now. Take digging graves as an example. At that time, there were no excavators.

Fortunately, the brothers Tong Baoyou and Tong Youqing have a good reputation and many people help them.

On March 1984, 3, these two men took a few strong laborers to dig a grave in their orangery;
According to local customs, the deeper the "grave pit" is dug, the better until the "blessed soil" is seen, but only less than half a meter was dug, and an accident occurred.

Since it was the two brothers Tong Baoyou and Tong Youqing who were "handling affairs", these two dug graves naturally worked extremely hard;

Just after Tong Baoyou swung the hoe, he bumped into a hard object in the ground, perhaps because of too much force, the shock made his jaw numb, and the hoe dropped his hand;
Seeing this, Tong Youqing didn't dare to dig anymore, and hurriedly checked to see if his brother was injured.

It stands to reason that this land has been turned over by the "Tong family" countless times. Even if there are stones and other debris in the soil, it should have been cleaned out long ago;

Fortunately, Tong Baoyou is fine, but the two brothers are unhappy, and they are afraid that the "funeral" will not go well. They have just dug a hole, so it is hard to say what "bad luck" will be in the future.

No way, the grave has to continue to be dug.

This time, Tong Youqing was much more careful. He first explored the soil with a hoe, and felt that he had found the edge of the "hard object", so he lowered the hoe and pushed out;
I saw a large lump of soil was dug out, and after cleaning the soil, it turned out to be a huge copper plate.

As I said earlier, it was "funeral treatment" at this time, and the Tong family brothers were not the only ones involved in digging the grave;
Since the "copper plate" was unearthed, no one has dug the grave, and everyone gathered around to watch the fun.

Visually, this "plate" is more than half a meter long, and there is a base underneath, and the whole body is vaguely covered with strange patterns;
The most special thing is that there is also a "faucet" protruding from the plate. Don't think too much, this newly dug copper plate must be an ancient relic.
