Chapter 1438 The Earliest Dragon Is Not the Jade Pig Dragon
Why does this figurine of comedians from the Sui and Tang Dynasties make such an aggrieved expression?

Some have speculated that his facial expression may have been a moment during his performance, merely to amuse the audience.

There are pottery figurines like this, and another one is pottery comedian figurines.

Its expression is even more interesting, if you see it, it is: Ba Shi De board!
Also as a pottery statue of a comedian, this pottery comedian figurine displayed in the Sichuan Museum shows another emotion.

The terracotta figurine with a big belly sits on a round cushion.

He was wearing a hat, trousers and bare feet.

The upper body is exposed, the shoulders are shrugged, the left hand is holding the drum, and the right hand is clenched into a fist, as if holding a mallet and beating the drum.

He kicks with his right foot, curls his left foot, and laughs with his face up. His exaggerated facial expressions and posture are hilarious.

Different from the Xishaan painted pottery figurines with shrunken necks, the facial expressions of this pottery comedian figurines bloom outwards.

He was full of smiles, as if he was praising "Bashideban" in Sichuan dialect.

It is worth mentioning that there are two national first-class cultural relics among the talking and singing figurines of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The drumming and singing figurines unearthed in Tianhui Mountain, Sichuan in 1957 are now in the National Huaxia Museum;

The standing talking and singing figurines unearthed in Pidu District in 1963 are still standing in the exhibition hall of the Sichuan Provincial Museum with the audience.

Their smiling faces convey the optimism of the Bashu people.

Perhaps it is passed down in one continuous line, the earliest Sanxingdui is also a product of the ancient Bashu civilization.

This Sanxingdui pottery pig is an angry pig.

Interesting cultural relics besides portrait expressions, animals like bronze galloping horses can also make people smile.

Nostrils as big as eyeballs, combined with a tongue that flicks wantonly, is like a runaway "player", with an expression comparable to that of a galloping bronze horse.

It's a pity that these are imitations, no matter how good the imitation is, it is not the real one!
After seeing all kinds of mythical beasts, the next thing is all kinds of bronze statues.

These bronze statues also have their own characteristics, even in the eyes of modern people, each has its own interesting features!
There are still quite a few bronze statues found in Sanxingdui, and they all have their own characteristics.

For example, the bronze man unearthed in Pit No. 3 was discovered when the large bronze mask in the pit was extracted.

The shape of his head wearing a crown and hat is reminiscent of Zhuge Liang in the "feather fan scarf".

The bronze kneeling figure unearthed from Pit No. 4 is in a kneeling posture, with the body slightly tilted forward to the left.

His head is slightly nodded and turned to the right side of the body, and his hands are raised in front of the left side of the body in a half-folded palm.

Put your knees on the ground, the front soles of your feet touch the ground, and the rear soles lift up.

But the most attractive thing is its "touching" hair volume and "superior" hairstyle.

This kind of bronze statue is not the only one. Another bronze statue of a standing figure was found in the south of Pit No. 3.

The portraits are small, no more than 20 cm high.

But he wears a pointed crown, protruding eyes, exaggerated face, and his overall shape is somewhat similar to Ultraman.

Of course, the shapes of these artworks may be very exaggerated, but they are still within the acceptable range.

Some other seemingly normal things make us feel very weird.

It is like a "pottery three-legged cooker", which is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. The outer layer can be filled with water, and the lower layer is heated by a fire.

This is a "small hot pot" that can be heated, and it is indeed a product of the Bashu area!

Of course, this is not the weirdest thing. If you want to say that Sanxingdui is the weirdest, it must be the bronze sun wheel.

This cultural relic is named for its shape resembling the sun.

Its shape is exclaimed by the majority of netizens as "just like a car steering wheel".

The Sanxingdui site is an ancient Shu cultural site about 5000 to 3000 years ago.

It is not without reason that he has been hailed as "one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century".

Since the first archaeological excavation in 1934, a total of 37 excavations have been carried out at the Sanxingdui site.

Especially since the discovery of bronzes from two sacrificial pits in Sanxingdui in the 20s, the archaeological community has gradually formed a consensus.

The ordinary Zun and Zun in Sanxingdui are similar to those in the Central Plains and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River at the same time.

The unique standing portraits, masks, and sacred trees are utensils with a very local style.

Since the start of excavation again in 2020, archaeologists have discovered 6 new "sacrifice pits" at the Sanxingdui site, and a total of nearly 13000 numbered cultural relics have been unearthed.

Among them, more than 500 pieces of important cultural relics such as golden mask fragments, bronze sacred trees, and ivory were unearthed.

But this is just a "drop in the ocean" in the Sanxingdui ruins. There are still many mysteries to be solved in Sanxingdui, waiting for us to solve them and explore.

As a witness of the romantic and wonderful ancient Shu civilization, Sanxingdui is a vivid example of the pluralism and unity of Chinese civilization.

Exploring the Sanxingdui ruins has also brought us the excitement and joy of unlocking the infinite and exploring the unknown.

"It's better to excavate ancient civilizations through archaeology!"

This time when he visited his own museum, Chen Wenzhe was very moved.

"Yes, they can discover tens of thousands of precious cultural relics in one excavation, and one excavation will become a large museum!" Zheng Yu was also very emotional.

Zhang Yijie was even more fruitful: "Excavating sunken ships on the seabed is also very good."

Cao Qingchun smiled: "Hundreds of thousands of pieces of porcelain salvaged at a time can support a large museum."

At this time, Li Jinli said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."

Attracting everyone's attention, Li Jinli continued: "Whether it's a shipwreck or an ancient tomb, there are dangers. We ordinary people can't get involved. Let's buy them. The next ones are not fakes, they are all genuine products. Please correct me boss."

Next, the one who walks in is the one who actually exits the exhibition hall.

The scenery just now can only be regarded as the roadside, after all, it can be touched by all tourists, and they are not afraid of being destroyed at all.

How precious can such a work of art be?

Walking through the bronze ware jungle in Sanxingdui, the venues you entered earlier seemed relatively shabby.

"This is the Dragon Court. All the exhibits are dragons. The boss should be familiar with the first one."

While walking, Li Jinli introduced.

Because the Dragon Hall is a bit petty, so this pavilion is named Dragon Court!
Looking at the booth facing the door, Chen Wenzhe was naturally very familiar with the things on display, because one of them belonged to him.

The Jade Pig Dragon of Hongshan Culture, he bought it long ago.

The strange thing is that there is another Jade Pig Dragon next to it.

Thinking about it carefully, this is actually not surprising, because the number of jade pig dragons unearthed at the Hongshan Cultural Site is not one or two, but a lot.

Even in the private collection market, many people are selling them, and of course most of them may be fakes.

Jade is real, but it is an imitation of Hongshan cultural relics.

It is generally believed that the jade pig dragon is the earliest dragon unearthed in archeology in my country.

So, this pair of Jade Pig Dragons was placed directly at the door?

This point is actually wrong.

Modern archaeological history tells us that this is not the case.
