My system is not decent

Chapter 1702 Three hundred scriptures and three thousand songs

"I want all these things. You can make a price, as long as it is about the same."

After flipping through the album, Chen Wenzhe said directly.

"Okay, we have tidied up all the things, why don't you take a good look at them, there are quite a lot of things."

There was a smile on the boss's face at this time, but the smile was a bit strange.

Chen Wenzhe didn't say much, just waved his hand to signal.

He really wanted to take a quick look at these things, especially the Jiuding Bagui among them. As long as these things appear, they will definitely bring his museum to a higher level.

It turns out that although there are many things in his museum, the most authentic ones are hailao porcelain, and most of the other bronzes are imitations.

It's all right now, apart from the batch of bronze wares and jade clothes he transported back from South Vietnam, there is another batch of great treasures.

The boss had indeed been prepared for a long time, and their treasures had already been transported to Dahai City.

In other words, their batch of things was originally hidden in Dahai City.

Following the boss, Chen Wenzhe and his group came to a bungalow.

It seems that this stall owner went there specially to wait for him, but this bungalow can prove his worth.

When a group of people walked in, Chen Wenzhe looked at the decoration of the bungalow, a little dumbfounded.

There are more than 30 pieces of earthen tripods, gui, ge, square pots, round pots, mirrors, and beans, simply counted.

And the bronze carriage placed in the middle of the hall of the bungalow surprised Chen Wenzhe even more.

这辆西周的铜马车的木制轮辋外包铜壳，车轮直径约1．4米、周长约4．4米、轮牙宽5．7厘米、厚1．9厘米。

Nail holes can be seen in a few places, especially the turquoise inlaid on the animal-mask pattern car, which is very exquisite.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, such bronze carriages of the same type were rarely found.

"Look, this is the site of the excavation that year."

At this time, the stall owner handed Chen Wenzhe a photo album again.

Looking at the first black-and-white photo and the notes on it, this is actually the archaeological site in [-].

Photos from that period are now antiques.

The photo is obviously a pit for chariots and horses. Looking at the introduction in the text behind, they actually cleared out 4 carriages and found 90 buried horses.

Then unearthed, as well as decorations such as bronze parts on the car.

Among them, the No. 1 car unearthed is huge, with a length of 2.56 meters and a width of 1.66 meters.

There are facilities such as rain and sun protection on the top of the car, and the decoration is luxurious.

There are traces of colored mats on the roof of the car, and tubular bronze and bone vessels are decorated around the top of the car.

In addition, the excavation shows that the No. 1 and No. 2 cars are side by side in the north and the south, and the buried horses are placed sideways.

There is no horse utensils on the horse bones, which is consistent with the record in the literature that the funeral car is "dismantled and buried".

Funeral vehicles are generally divided into different forms such as "whole vehicle burial", "dismantled vehicle burial" and "mixed vehicle and horse burial".

This ancient tomb obviously practiced "car dismantling burial".

That is to kill the horse first, and discharge it to the bottom of the carriage pit, then disassemble the complete vehicle, and put the parts on the horse corpse.

Judging from the excavation situation, the carriage buried in the No. 3 horse pit may be the daily carriage of the king and wife of a country.

But it is impossible to say which country and which generation of monarch it is.

Still, just looking at the restored bronze coach is enough to marvel.

In particular, restoring this bronze carriage is definitely not a simple matter, but I don’t know how many bronze carriages they restored?
You must know that these bronze wheel teeth carriages were not in a complete state when they were unearthed.

Restoration of this bronze-teeth carriage requires cleaning.

Not to mention anything else, just cleaning up the interior of a carriage is very cumbersome.

Based on the extracted relics and accurate data, a one-to-one restoration should be carried out according to the original craftsmanship and structure.

In order to restore the elegance and luxury of the bronze carriage, let it regain its former majesty.

Not to mention the size of this bronze-wheeled horse, just the remains of the carriage and the remains of the four horses are enough to make you dizzy after cleaning.

And this is not the most troublesome thing, the most troublesome thing is the turquoise on it, because there are tens of thousands of turquoise on this carriage.

Compared with the burial chariots discovered in the Western Zhou Dynasty in the past, this set of chariots is not only larger in shape, but also gorgeous and complex in decoration.

The carriages are decorated with numerous bronze components inlaid with turquoise, thin-walled bronze animal-face decorations, and jade and painted components.

The animal-faced carriage is exquisitely inlaid with turquoise, which makes restoration of this carriage even more difficult.

To know the turquoise on the car, there may be one or two hundred turquoise inlaid on an object.

Chen Wenzhe walked around the carriage for a while and calculated that they had restored more than 400 pieces of copper ornaments, of which more than 300 pieces were inlaid with turquoise.

This may be the Western Zhou Dynasty carriage known to use the most bronze components.

There are copper accessories for the decoration of each horse, such as the horse's ring decoration, horse face and other copper ornaments.

Luanling is in a relatively good state of protection, and there are also turquoise on it.

There are ten or twenty small pieces of copper ornaments inlaid with turquoise, and one or two hundred pieces of large ones.

Such luxury, no matter how you calculate it, there are tens of thousands of pieces of turquoise on the carriage.

In addition to the inlaid one or two hundred turquoises and the copper animal faces decorated on three sides of the carriage, the rare copper wheel teeth on the carriage reflect the high grade of the carriage, and also reflect the attention paid by the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty to travel.

In today's words, it means being rich and self-willed.

Of course, not only the car body is exquisite, but also the horse.

Looking at the photos, especially looking at the remaining horse hair, it can be seen that the coat color of the four horses should be uniform.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, this was not achievable by ordinary classes.

"My chariot is attacking, and my horse is the same. The four men are huge, and they are driving to the east."

The feudal hierarchy in ancient my country's traffic administration and rules and regulations was first manifested in the "right to ride".

That is to say, the use of vehicles, horses, sedan chairs and other means of transportation is divided into high and low.

There are many clauses in the rituals of the week, and it is recorded in the literature that there are "three hundred classic rituals and three thousand musical rituals";
Involving all fields of society, it is reflected in the strict car public system in terms of travel.

Therefore, this kind of "bronze toothed carriage" must be a ceremonial vehicle.

In addition to the luxurious decoration, its most unique feature is that the outer edge of the entire wheel is cast in bronze.

The wheel is wrapped in a circle of copper, and the pouring marks left in the middle part of the outermost part of the wheel have not been worn away.

This shows that this carriage is rarely used. It is not a chariot for combat, but a vehicle for honor guards.

The ceremonial chariot represents some kind of etiquette system of high-ranking nobles in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it may be the chariot used for reviewing troops or carrying out exchange activities to welcome and send off guests.

In addition, the rim is very thin, and it is easy to sink into the soil if it is driven for a long distance.

Also, because it is well decorated, the animal face on the copper plate, the jade carving, the height of the horse and the solid color, etc., all show that the ceremonial things may be stronger.
