My system is not decent

Chapter 1774

The third belt hook is the belt hook of Jiang Wan, the great Sima of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is different from the other two belt hooks in shape, similar to the shape of a pipa.

The reason why I like this kind of belt hook is mainly because this small belt hook shows the precious status of the owner.

This piece of Jiang Wan with a hook is made of bronze, and its overall shape is like a pipa.

The hook head is used to connect one end of the leather belt, and the hook body plays the role of fixing the other end of the leather belt.

There are dragon and phoenix patterns on the hook body, and five star points arranged in a regular pentagon.

The inlaid turquoise has been removed, the hook handle is longer, and the front has a big dipper pattern, embellished with turquoise.

The reason why we know that this is Jiang Wan's thing is mainly speculation. Of course, speculation must require an inscription.

Therefore, don't look at it as a small hook, but there are 72 characters of Hanli inscriptions on both sides of the hook handle.

The hooks made by Emperor Yao have neither short nor long.

The front is from the middle, and the back is from the side.

The Lord uses the soldiers to make the sky round □ (earth) place.

Wearing the daily sun and the moon, the Big Dipper is lined up, and the Sanzhao is in the palace.

Xuan □ (Ji) Yuheng, □□ Palace Guard, Changbao Sheji.

Passed on to descendants, jade and gold essence.

With Ao Quartet, there will never be disaster □ (calamity).

Shou is more than mountains and seas, facing the sky.

This is a rhyme that prays for auspiciousness, in which the box □ is an unrecognizable text, and the words in brackets refer to fixed terms, rhymes, and supplementary texts based on the meaning of the words and sentences.

The inscriptions on the hook support things and express one's ambitions, and "Big Dipper Column" and "Xuanji Yuheng" describe the Big Dipper dotted on the hook.

The Big Dipper refers to the seven stars of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang in the constellation Ursa Major.

"Yu Shu" says "Xuanji Yuheng, with Qi Qizheng".

"Qizheng" is the seven stars, and later generations also use "Xuanji" (also known as Xuanji, Xuanji or Suiji).

"Yuheng" refers to the Big Dipper, and the first four stars are called Kui.

The latter three stars are called dippers, "Book of Jin Tianwen Zhi": "The four stars of Kui are Xuanji, and the three stars of dippers are Yuheng.".

The ancients believed that the Big Dipper was located in the political center of heaven, revolving around the Emperor Star Ziwei (Polaris).

"Sanzhao" is equivalent to Sanguang, which is the sun, moon, and star (Big Dipper) in the first two sentences "Dai Ri Yue, Bei Di Li Lie".

"Que" refers to the palace, "Sanzhao is in the que".

Dragon, Phoenix and Big Dipper are engraved on the belt hook.

These all show the noble status of the owner of the hook, who lives in the political center of the Shu Han Dynasty.

The inscription is symbolized by Xuanji Yuheng Gongwei Emperor Star, which is connected with the owner of the hook who is in charge of the palace guard and constantly protects the country.

Explain that the duty of the owner with the hook is to defend the palace and the political power.

Jiang Wan was praised by Zhuge Liang as "the weapon of the country", and he was also Zhuge Liang's successor. He was the general of Shu Han and the great Sima (equivalent to the prime minister).

Although it is not known whether this belt hook was unearthed from the tomb of Jiang Wan in Mianyang, the inscription does not clearly indicate that the belt hook belongs to Jiang Wan.

However, judging from the identity of the owner implied by the hook, it is not completely unreliable to call it Jiang Wan with a hook.

The belt hook has a long history in the history of our country. From the inscription of Jiang Wan belt hook, we can know that the belt hook was invented by Emperor Yao.

The earliest belt hook in Chinese archaeology is a jade belt hook unearthed in the Neolithic Liangzhu Cultural Site, which has a history of 5000 years.

Belt hooks flourished from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, and gradually declined in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and were replaced by belt buckles.

Cao Cao Gaoling unearthed a dragon-shaped belt hook.

The belt hook is the buckle of the belt of the ancients, or the hook for hanging gold and jade ornaments on the belt.

The belt hook was originally called "hook". According to the belt hook discovered by archaeology, most of the inscriptions also call themselves "hook".

Jiang Wan's inscription with a hook "the hook has no short or long" is also sufficient to prove this point.

The term "belt hook" was first seen in Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Qi Taigong's Family".

After that, in the past dynasties, there are still many famous belt hooks.

For example, Duke Huan of Qi, the leader of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, shot an arrow in the process of fighting for the throne.

There are many people who know this allusion, and they should all know that "shooting the little white belt hook", that is, the hook saved the life of Duke Huan of Qi.

Therefore, Jiang Wan's inscription with a hook says "The Lord uses it to prepare soldiers", which means that wearing a hook can prevent damage from weapons.

"Huainanzi Fanlun Xun" records: "Confucius resigned from Linqiu, and never stole the knife and hook."

Confucius even refused to accept the feudal city of Linqiu given to him by Qi Jinggong, and of course he would not steal small objects such as knives and belt hooks.

"Zhuangzi Journey to the North" records an 80-year-old "hook beater". Since he was 20 years old, he has been doing one thing exclusively, that is, forging belt hooks.

He was so absorbed in making the hooks that nothing else attracted his attention.

In addition, there are many more famous allusions, and even some famous sentences appeared.

For example, "Zhuangzi · Xunqi" also records that "those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis".

Although it is said that the size of a country is compared with the smallness of a hook, it satirizes the injustice of the society at that time, and the princes are actually thieves.

But it also shows that an exquisite belt hook for princes and nobles is indeed very valuable, and stealing it will constitute a capital crime.

In the Warring States period, the belt hook was basically formed.

A belt hook is divided into three parts: the hook head, the hook body and the hook button.

The craftsmanship is complex and the decorations are diverse.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the belt hook developed to its peak, and various animal images of birds, beasts, insects and fish on the head of the hook and on the body of the hook were widely used.

At this time, the hook is either an auspicious thing that symbolizes beauty, or a ferocious thing that suppresses evil spirits.

"Huainanzi" said, "A full house of seats, depending on the hooks are different", it can be seen that the hooks are rich in styles, just because of the identity of the owner.

There are many names with hooks, such as Xubi, Xibi, Shibi, Xibi, Xianbei, etc., all of which have the same meaning.

"Suo Yin" in "Historical Records Biography of the Huns" stated that "'Xu', 'Rhinoceros' and 'Shi' are similar, but they have different ears".

Yan Shigu's note in "Han Shu Xiongnu Biography": "Xibi, the hook of the belt, also known as Xianbei, also known as Shibi, is always one thing, and the words have different degrees of severity."

"Suo Yin" in "Historical Records" also quoted Zhang Yan's statement: "Xianbei, Guo Luodai Rui beast name, Donghu is easy to obey."

Guoluo belt, that is, hook belt, is a belt with a hook.

Yang Xiong's "Dialect" said, "Hook, it was called deer girdle between Song, Chu, Chen and Wei, or it was called hook grid." Then deer girth, hook grid, and Guo Luo all refer to the hook belt.

There are various kinds of auspicious beasts engraved on hooks, and people use the names of auspicious animals, such as Xianbei, Xibi, and Shibi, to refer to belt hooks.

Chen Wenzhe has seen a few of the more precious belt hooks before, such as the belt hooks unearthed from the tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Mancheng.

Then there are the wrong gold, silver and copper belt hooks with Wu inscriptions in the Three Kingdoms, and the gilded copper belt hooks unearthed from the tomb of Caoxiu in the Three Kingdoms Wei Dynasty.

These two belt hooks are similar in shape to the belt hooks unearthed in Yushu, Beihemancheng, Jinling Xigang and other places in Jilin Province.

This kind of belt hook can be collectively referred to as the fish belt hook held by the gods and men.

The hook head of this type is a bird's head with a bead in its mouth, the hook tail is like a flower, with stamens and petals, and the hook body is a monster with a bird's head and a human body.

The monster has a pair of long erect ears and a pair of outstretched wings on its back.

The most important feature is that the monster holds the fish in both hands and steps on a toad-like animal with water ripples around it.
