The reason why the Hanging Man Bronze Spear is famous is because of the bronze man hanging on the bronze spear.

The faces of the two bronze figures showed expressions of pain and helplessness.

After undergoing severe punishment, there was only a breath of life left, and they were powerless to struggle or resist.

The whole picture shows an atmosphere of sadness and terror.

This kind of utensils from the ancient Dian Kingdom came from the tribes of the ancient ethnic minorities in the southwestern frontier of our country.

Some experts say that the ancient Dian Kingdom is the "Chinese version" of the Mayan civilization, which is not without reason.

Our country has a long history and is the only civilization in the world that has continued without interruption.

In such a long history, world-renowned archaeological wonders have continued to emerge.

For example, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

For example, Anyang Yin Ruins, known as the first of the "20 major archaeological discoveries" in China in the 100th century...

In the archaeological history of our country, the ruins of the ancient tombs located in Shizhai Mountain, Nanyun, although not well-known among ordinary people, can be called an archaeological miracle in the archaeological history of our country.

This is because traces of the strange and strange ancient Dian Kingdom, which was once suspected to exist in historical records, were found here.

Almost all bronze weapons have been unearthed in all parts of our country, whether it is bronze daggers, bronze spears, or bronze battleaxes, it can be said that they are very rich in terms of quantity and exquisiteness.

But regardless of whether it is north, south, east or west, which one of the unearthed bronze spears is the most mysterious, then this bronze spear that hangs a man must be among the best.

In fact, in addition to the bronze hanging spear originally collected by the National Museum, a hanging spear was also unearthed in Shizhai Mountain at the same time. It turns out that these are the only two bronze hanging spears in the world.

The bronze hanging spear currently in the Nanyun Museum is slightly longer, reaching a length of about 41.5cm.

Its main body presents an isosceles triangle, with a nude bronze figure hanging from the left and right corners. The overall style is consistent with the one above.

Because the number of excavations is very small, this style also shows the ferocious side of the ancient Dian Kingdom, which was keen on using living people to sacrifice at that time.

Experts speculate that the Hanging Spear will not be a weapon used in actual combat. It is likely that the King of Dian will show off his achievements in defeating the enemy.

The person dropped on the bronze spear is also likely to be a Mingkun man who often fought wars with the King of Dian.

In addition, there are many exquisite shell containers among the cultural relics unearthed in Shizhai Mountain.

On these ancient piggy banks, various animals or life scenes of the Dian people were drawn.

A bronze shell container with a scene of curse alliance in the Western Han Dynasty collected in the National Museum expresses the scene of the alliance between the two tribes at that time.

There are actually 127 three-dimensional characters cast on the lid of the shell container, and the incomplete ones are not counted.

Among these characters, there are the king of Dian who sits high, the nobles who offer sacrifices, the common people who trade, and the naked men waiting for execution...

It can be said that this cultural relic is a three-dimensional version of the "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", which vividly conveys the scene of the Dian king cursing the alliance to our descendants.

Why can it be said with certainty that the owner of this shell container is the King of Dian?Instead of wizards or priests from the Dian Kingdom?

The main basis is the following cultural relic: the Golden Seal of the King of Dian!
In Sima Qian's "Historical Records", it is recorded that in order to find a passage from the southwest to the Shendu Kingdom, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to shift his sight from the Huns in the north to Yelang and King Dian in the south.

At this time, Yelang, the King of Dian and other countries had no concept of country size at all, and asked the envoys of the Han Dynasty "Who is bigger, Han or me?" This is the famous idiom "Yelang is arrogant".

But when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to use troops, no matter whether it was Yelang or Dian Kingdom, no matter how powerful the military pressure of the Han Dynasty was, they could only surrender.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty merged the kingdom of Dian and the hometown of Yelang into Yizhou County, and gave the king of Dian a golden seal.

Similar to this golden seal, there is also the Japanese king's golden seal hidden in the neon.

It turns out that many people only know the Japanese King's Golden Seal, and think that it was made by Neon himself, and they don't think it is the golden seal of the kingdom conferred by the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, in the ancient tombs of Shizhai Mountain in Nanyun, the golden seal of the king of Dian on the snake button was miraculously discovered, which verified the records in the historical records and also showed the identity of the owner of the tomb.

It can be said that this seemingly small golden seal not only represents the history of the ancient Dian Kingdom, but also proves that the records in our country's history books are of great significance.

In archaeology, it is not often that unearthed artifacts are consistent with historical documents like this.

This is also one of the reasons why the "Seal of the King of Dian" was recruited by the state and collected in the National Museum.

It is precisely because the tombs of Shizhai Mountain were proved to be the tombs of the king of Dian in the ancient Dian Kingdom. After the archaeological discovery in the 50s, it became a famous archaeological miracle.

The exquisite, mysterious and terrifying bronze wares unearthed in the ancient Dian Kingdom also left many gorgeous imaginations for future generations.

Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and its development has lasted for 5000 years.

In addition to being deeply rooted in our country, Chinese culture also affects the development and prosperity of the cultures of neighboring countries.

During the pre-Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, China's national power was strong, and many surrounding countries developed as vassal states, including many countries in Asia today.

These countries, which existed and developed as vassal states, built a growing Chinese cultural circle.

The most influenced by Chinese culture is East Asia, especially countries such as South Korea and Japan.

For example, the Japanese king's golden seal mentioned earlier was accidentally dug up by a farmer in Neon.

Five Chinese characters are engraved on it, which proves that neon culture is deeply influenced by Chinese culture.

However, after seeing the neon experts, they couldn't help calling it too embarrassing.

In 1784, two tenants in Neon Fukuoka unearthed a gold seal in the form of a cube measuring two centimeters on a side.

It is worth mentioning that this gold seal is engraved with seal characters, and there are five seal script characters on it.

At this time, Kuroda, a feudal lord in Fukuoka, knew the news, so he went to see the gold seal.

When he saw the golden seal, he decided to keep it for himself first.

So he bought the gold seal. As for whether it was a lure or a coercion, it is not known, but since then the gold seal has been kept in his home.

What is so magical about this golden seal?In fact, the gold seal itself is not so dazzling, but the inscription on the gold seal brings a period of history and the influence of the Chinese cultural circle to people's eyes.

That is, the origin of this golden seal is related to the ancient Han Dynasty in our country, and this further proves the cultural relationship between neon and our country.

After demonstration and verification by many scholars and experts, this gold seal is definitely genuine.

Because it is false, there is no definite evidence to prove it.

This gold seal is still placed in the cultural relics museum as a national treasure of neon.
