My system is not decent

It's a pity that the bronze dragon in front of him is not authentic, and Chen Wenzhe couldn't see the restoration scene at that time, otherwise the harvest would be even greater.

Even so, Chen Wenzhe was able to deduce the general appearance of the bronze ware at that time from the imitation in front of him.

He knew that when they were discovered, they were a bunch of tightly wrapped bronze remnants.

When there is a large pile of copper blocks with mottled rust, there are 8 blocks in total, weighing 92.5 kg.

After the Chang'an Public Security Bureau handed over 8 remnants of bronze dragons from the Qin Dynasty to the Xishan History Museum, it was only after repeated research and careful matching by cultural relic restoration experts that it was discovered that this is a breathtaking bronze heavy vessel from the Qin Dynasty.

The No. 1 and No. 2 remnants are glued into faucets;
4号、5号残件粘接后为一个整体，长83厘米、宽20.1厘米、壁厚0.4厘米至0.6厘米。

It can be seen that the dragon body is cast separately and then welded, and they are interspersed with the dragon body of No. 3 remnant, forming a pair of twisted and twisted dragons.

The No. 8 remnant is the dragon tail, which is a hollow cone with four intertwined dragon tails, with a base diameter of 4 cm, a diameter of 32 cm, and a height of 19 cm.

Experts judged that the coiled bronze dragons should be a pair, but it is a pity that the rest of the fragments are unknown.

Compared with the original model, the repaired part must be far worse.

However, because of the tomb robbery, the real prototype is no longer known what it looks like.

Now I can only think that he is the base of a musical instrument.

Therefore, the three-legged frog bronze drum was placed behind it, not on top of it, and I don't know if it is right to do so.

Bypassing these two majestic green dragons, besides the three-legged frog bronze drum of Lingshan Mountain, there is a large round tripod behind.

Seeing this round tripod, Chen Wenzhe immediately laughed.

These things are actually related. Although they are not matching things, they are all connected.

"Is this the Zilong cauldron?"

You must know that the earliest dragon character came from this tripod.

"It's amazing, I recognized it at a glance."

Li Jinli had to admire Chen Wenzhe, he was really good at appraising cultural relics.

Shangzilong Ding, a bronze round tripod in the late Shang Dynasty, a national first-class cultural relic, is named for the inscription "Zilong" cast on the inner wall of the vessel near the mouth.

The Zilong Ding series was unearthed in Nanhehui County in the 20s, and then flowed into Nihong and then to Xiangjiang.

In April 2006, it was collected by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and returned to China, and it is now in the National Huaxia Museum.

The Shang Zilong tripod is 103 centimeters high, 37 centimeters wide and 43 centimeters deep.

It has a complete preservation of its appearance, a majestic shape, a full body, and a huge body.

This round tripod is the largest of all Shang bronze round tripods ever found, and it is also the earliest known bronze vessel with the word "dragon" so far.

Shangzilong Ding belongs to the national first-class cultural relics. It is named after the inscription "Zilong" cast on the inner wall near the mouth.

The ears, which are 22 centimeters higher than the body of the tripod, add majesty to the whole tripod.

The animal face decoration on the neck and three legs of the vessel is majestic and solemn, showing superb bronze casting technology.

As a treasure among the bronze wares of the Shang Dynasty in my country, the Zilong Ding and the largest Fang Ding - the Simuwu Ding, complement each other in brilliance.

They are one circle and one side, and they can be called the peerless twin jades among the bronze national treasures.

...

In August 2013, Zilong Ding was included in the "Third Batch of Cultural Relics Prohibited from Exhibiting Abroad (territory)" by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

Experts speculate based on the available information that Zilong Ding was probably unearthed in Hui County, Nanhe Province, my country.

Because Hui County is located in the Central Plains, it was once the seat of the royal family in the ancient Yin and Shang Dynasties.

A large number of cultural relics from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties have been unearthed in this place, and it is an important site of the Shang and Zhou Bronze Ages.

In the 20s, our country suffered from internal and external troubles, and a neon company named "Yanzhong Co., Ltd." specialized in the sale of cultural relics in our country.

Soon after Zilong Ding was unearthed, it was resold by Shanzhong Co., Ltd. to Neon, and has never been seen since then.

In June 2004, Neon Osaka held an exhibition of private cultural relics collection.

Most of the collections exhibited at that time were precious cultural relics of our country, among which was Zilong Ding.

Chinese bronze ware experts Ma Chengyuan and Chen Peifen rushed to Nihong successively to check Zilong Ding.

At the end of 2005, Zilong Ding was purchased by a Xiangjiang cultural relic collector and arrived in Hong Kong.

In December 2005 and January 12, experts from my country's National Cultural Relics Information Consultation Center went to Xiangjiang.

They conducted a physical appraisal of Zilong Ding and solicited the opinions of all professional members of the bronze professional group of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee.

Experts agreed that Zilong Ding is a rare heavy bronze vessel.

Therefore, Zilong Ding has entered the list of "National Key and Precious Cultural Relics Collection".

In April 2006, the Zilong Ding was recruited by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Ministry of Finance for a joint project operation, and it is now in the National Museum.

The Zilong tripod has square lips, wide edges, upright ears, a hanging belly and a round bottom, and three legs underneath, which are close to hoof feet. The tripod is 103 cm high, 80 cm in diameter, and weighs 230 kg.

The tripod has thick erect ears, slightly slanted outside, two weeks of concave string patterns on the outside, folded along the wide edge, the abdomen is horizontally wide, slightly drooping, and the three-hoofed feet are supported below.

The neck of the utensil is decorated with cloud and thunder patterns, with 2 types and 6 groups of embossed animal face patterns on the periphery, high embossed animal face patterns on the upper end of the feet, and three weeks of convex string patterns on the lower lining.

The inscription "Zilong" is cast and engraved on the inner wall of the tripod near the edge of the mouth.

The word "Zi" in the inscription is located in the upper left corner, the character is small, and it is engraved with a solid brush.

The word "Dragon" is on the lower right, made of double hooks, much like a dragon standing upright with its tail curled to the right.

The mouth is open, the eyes are round, and the huge bottle-shaped horns on the head protrude, which are not connected with the dragon head.

Zilong Ding is the largest round tripod of the Shang Dynasty that has been discovered, symbolizing the strict ritual system of the royal family and aristocrats of the Shang Dynasty.

The tripod is a representative of Chinese bronze culture and a witness of Chinese civilization, "one promise keeps its promise", "three pillars stand together", and "aspires to the top of the Central Plains".

From these idioms containing the word "ding", it can be seen that the tripod is a symbol of national power and status.

From the inscription "Zilong", we can speculate on Zilong Ding's life experience.

In the existing oracle bone inscriptions, there are also records of "Zi Mou" in the royal family of the Shang Dynasty.

In the history of our country, the appellation "Zimou" is usually seen in oracle bone inscriptions and Shang and Zhou bronzes, referring to patriarchal nobles with the status of "prince".

Therefore, it can be speculated that the owner of Zilong Ding may be a prince in the last years of the Shang Dynasty.

Or in the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, who served as a minister, official, and powerful patriarchal aristocrat.

Possessing such a huge tripod is not only a symbol of power, but also an important symbol of the internal hierarchy of the Shang royal family in the Shang Dynasty with strict etiquette.

In June 2006, when the National Museum of my country held the "Cultural Heritage Day Special Exhibition", Zilong Ding began to be exhibited for the first time.

At that time, Zilong Ding was placed on the booth at the entrance of the exhibition hall. This was the first close contact between Zilong Ding and Chinese audiences.

Of course, touching is not the same as touching, so even if it is an imitation, it is very rare to be placed in the exhibition hall so that people can touch it easily.
