Chapter 1762 Extravagant Golden Beast

Changes in fortune and quality.

In the early years of the Song Dynasty, there was a similar social atmosphere.

After experiencing the turbulent wars in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and experiencing the misery and precarious suffering, people yearn for a quiet and stable life more than ever.

The beautiful society in the early Song Dynasty just created an atmosphere of "reviving".

Under the strong contrast, the Song people used a large number of "extravagant" gold and silverware, and at the same time pinned their good expectations on art and life.

This shows a strong love for painting, literature, music, etc.

They have a passionate appreciation for worldly beauty and a keen interest in natural things.

Only those who have experienced turmoil can better understand the value of the ordinary.

The strong poetic, elegant, and natural aesthetics are all reflected in these handmade products, which become daily objects that conform to human nature and express themselves.

As for the Song Dynasty gold and silver cellars like Pengzhou, we have discovered a lot now, and there are more treasures that are unknown, submerged in the torrent of history, and privately hidden.

This time, Chen Wenzhe really took advantage of the opportunity to find a lot. Of course, the hidden gold and silverware hoards discovered at this time were not limited to the previous batch of tomb robbers.

But through them, another extension, the clues drawn out.

For example, in November 1993, a brick cellar was discovered on a street in Sichuan Province, and 11 gold and silver wares of the Song Dynasty were unearthed.

The place where the cellar was found is also in Pengzhou City, on the northwest edge of the Chuandu Plain.

In the 22nd year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty, Fan County was established in the present Pengzhou City, which is one of the twelve counties in Shu County.

The mountainous area of ​​Pengzhou area accounts for 50% of the total area, the hills account for about 11%, and the plains account for about 39%.

Because it is located in the Chuandu Plain of the Land of Abundance, the soil is fertile and belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate.

Agriculture is very developed, and its geographical location has been important since ancient times and it has left rich historical relics.

The discovery process is also very ordinary, of course, it can also be said to be very dramatic.

The matter began in November 1993. In the 11s, the rapid economic development of the offices in some areas could no longer accommodate them and needed to be expanded.

The West Street of Pengzhou City is undergoing infrastructure construction. It is cold in Chengdu in November, and it is getting dark early. Migrant workers are still digging foundation pits.

At this time, the foundation has been dug to a depth of about two meters, and it is getting dark and ready to call it a day.

At this time, a migrant worker found a flat stone slab in the foundation pit.

He thought it would be good to take this slab home and build a nest for the dog.

So they called the workers to move the slab. When they lifted the slab, they found a big hole under the slab.

With the dim light, they saw many pots and pans.

At this time, some courageous people jumped down and took a few pieces.

It turned out to be gold, which caused a commotion among the workers in an instant, and someone immediately expressed that they wanted to divide it.

But some people disagreed, such a large amount of treasure must have caused a lot of trouble.

But in 93, during the period of severe crackdown, many people didn't want to go in.

So I chose to call the police. After a while, the police arrived and blocked the scene, and the archaeologists cleaned it up overnight.

Of course, there are still some unspeakable parts in the formal reports at this time.

For example, when the construction site is under construction, there are too many things that suddenly discover ancient tombs and cellars.

Often the result is worse than this, and they are usually coaxed by others and quickly robbed.

This time the result was considered good, and there were more than 350 pieces left in the end.

Judging from the final excavation results, this cellar is also a private hideout.

The silverware cellar is more than two meters deep from the ground. The bottom and walls of the cellar are made of intimate blue bricks, and the top is covered with three stone slabs.

The entire cellar is 1.2 meters long, 1 meter wide and 0.9 meters deep.

There are obvious traces of wrapping with linen gauze on the surface of gold and silverware, but the linen gauze has long been rotten.

After cleaning, a total of 350 cultural relics were unearthed.
There are 343 pieces whose shapes can be identified, including 27 gold pieces and the rest are silver pieces.

There are many types of these gold and silver wares, their shapes are very unique, and their decorations are exquisite and delicate, which are very rare in China.

The reason for the burial is nothing more than to avoid the war, because the inscriptions on the unearthed artifacts can guess part of the scene at that time.

Since there are not many clues on the unearthed artifacts, only the words "Shaoxi" are engraved on the golden bowl.

And "Shaoxi" is after 1190.

From this, it can be speculated that the upper limit of this cellar should not be earlier than the "Shaoxi" period.

At the same time, through research and comparison of ornamentation, it is found that almost all utensils show obvious characteristics of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the lower limit will not be later than the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.

If the incident happened suddenly, it was buried very hastily.

However, this gold and silver cellar not only has a regular cellar, but also is placed very reasonably.

The most important thing is to bury it deep in the ground. From this, it seems that some big things have happened, but they are out of control.

How about taking this batch of gold and silver away, and it is very eye-catching and arouses suspicion.

Combining these clues, it is found that after "Shaoxing Changing Yuan Dynasty", a big incident did happen in Pengzhou.

In the third year of Duanping in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army occupied the vicinity of Chengdu, and a large number of people from Sichuan Province began to flee.

It must be that the owner of the cellar heard the news of the Mongolian soldiers going south, so he buried the gold and silver wares accumulated over the years, and wanted to take them out after the war.

But due to various reasons, he never came back, so he stayed quietly.

The previous cellars were all in the same situation, such as the previous cellars of the Dong Mansion.

It can be seen from its inscription that this batch of utensils has multiple origins.

Most of them are in the south, and some artifacts are also produced in Sichuan Province.

There are official works and private works.

Most of the utensils must also belong to a big family, because the inscription on a few utensils is "Qi".

Therefore, these utensils should be owned by a family with the surname Qi.

This batch of utensils has a variety of shapes and complex shapes, and most of them come in sets and groups. There are obvious traces of craftsmanship on the utensils, which provide high-quality materials for the study of gold and silver wares in the Song Dynasty.

There must be a lot of things like this found in China.

Not to mention Sichuan Province, it happens frequently in other places. If it is more important, it is a discovery in Jinling.

The gold wares unearthed in the cellar of Nanyaozhuang, Xuyi County, Jinling are the heaviest archaeological discoveries in the country so far.

On February 1982, 2, just after the Spring Festival, villagers in Nanyaozhuang, Xuyi County began to dredge ditches to prepare for spring plowing.

There was a young man named Wan Yiquan in the village. He was newly married and had to take care of his pregnant wife, so he came to the construction site last.

As a result, a section of land with the highest and most silt was obtained.

The ditch was only one meter wide, and when Wan Yiquan dug down with his first shovel, he came across a broken copper basin.

Then there was a big clod of mud, which was very heavy after being thrown ashore.

He squatted down to check, wiped off the mud, and a yellow golden beast was revealed.

There are a few gold coins embedded in the depression at the bottom of the golden beast.
