My system is not decent

Chapter 1806 Across the ages, peerless beauty

A bronze mirror inlaid with glazed jade was also unearthed from the Jincun tomb in the eastern suburbs of Yangluo.

This is the mirror mentioned earlier. It has no knobs and is inlaid with round blue colored glass with a white pattern on it.

Its coat is made of jade rings as button seats.

It is surrounded by inlaid blue glaze, with white eye-shaped or hexagram-shaped patterns, which is very beautiful.

In fact, the glazed eyes of the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States period were mostly ball-shaped, small and irregular.

Compared with the traditional cloud pattern, panchi pattern, dragon and wall evil patterns on Chinese jade or metal objects in the same period, it is more difficult to get into the mirror.

However, the decorative style of the dragonfly's eyeballs is unique. After being embedded in a flat manner, the center point is dark blue, and the outer layer is brown and white or blue and white.

The embedded eyeballs are integrated, not protruding and not easy to fall off.

The bronze mirror inlaid with glazed jade is made by this technique.

The Warring States period glazed cup inlaid with dragonfly eye patterns is equally exquisite.

Glass is fired at a high temperature of more than 1400 degrees.

After more than 1000 handcrafts and fine grinding, the crystal glass mother stone is melted in a furnace with a temperature above [-] ℃, and then it is naturally condensed into a noble, gorgeous, self-defeating glass.

I saw that its colors are flowing and beautiful, and it is really a treasure.

The gilt-bronze dragon hook with dragonfly-eyed glass beads inlaid with sapphire grain patterns is equally precious.

Because the dragonfly eyeballs in the late Warring States period are different from those in the late Spring and Autumn Period or early Warring States period, the decorations are gorgeous and varied, and the circle patterns are raised or carved, resulting in the effect of bulging eyes, and the craftsmanship is more exquisite.

Although dragonfly eyes were manufactured in large numbers during the Spring and Autumn Period, and many dragonfly eyes have been excavated today, before 2010, there were still a few dragonfly eyes.

For example, there were only eight domestic auctions, and only two transactions.

Because dragonfly eyes are old and colored glaze is easy to be imitated, collectors are very cautious.

But as the value of Liuli rose, the value of Dragonfly Eye gradually became famous.

In 2014, the dragonfly-eyed auspicious animal ornaments of the Ming Dynasty were auctioned for 6.4 yuan.

A gilt-bronze dragon hook with dragonfly-eyed glazed beads inlaid with sapphire grain pattern was sold for 2019 yuan in 37.

This price is very high. In the past, it was not possible to sell at a higher price, mainly because the market did not recognize it.

The reason for not approving it is mainly because the current glass products are already rotten.

However, colored glaze is different from glass.

Glazed glass is inherently precious, and Dragonfly Eyes in the Warring States Period is a peerless beauty that spans eras and regions.

Then inlaid on the utensils, the price is naturally not low.

It is certainly not without reason that this colorful and dazzling West Asian glass beads were extremely loved by the princes and nobles of our country at that time.

To put it simply, it is beautiful.

Its decorative patterns are simple, using geometric patterns commonly used in West Asia, which are quite different from the traditional cloud patterns, panchi patterns, dragons, and wall evil patterns on Chinese jade or metal objects of the same period.

Friends who like to play with colored glaze may have heard of such things as the price of colored glaze beads in the Warring States period of 500 million, and the price of colored glaze beads in the Han Dynasty 20.

Maybe you are more curious about glass beads, why are glass beads so expensive?
Chen Wenzhe was also very interested in this point, because the Sui Hou Pearl in his hand was once considered to be a glazed pearl by the ancients.

According to legend, Suihou, the monarch of Suiguo, rescued a wounded snake during a trip.

After the big snake recovered, it presented a luminous pearl to Suihou, and later generations called it "Moon Pearl" or "Suihou Pearl".

Therefore, this Suihou bead is regarded as an exquisite and gorgeous Warring States glazed bead!
And this kind of Warring States glazed beads are mostly glazed with several colors, layer by layer to form a composite ring, just like the compound eyes of a dragonfly.

Dragonfly eye glass beads are the product of "eye culture".

The "eye" culture is said to have originated in West Asia or Yinsan. They believe that the eyes have the function of avoiding evil spirits.

Therefore, it is mostly shaped by the grassland peoples engaged in animal husbandry.

On the way of nomadic migration, wearing this kind of inlaid glass beads on the body can avoid evil on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may be used to exchange what they need at any time.

This kind of glass beads inlaid with "composite eyeballs" entered our country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States period, most of the glass eyeballs were shaped like balls, which were irregular and had a flat square or drum shape.

The size is relatively small, most of them are less than two centimeters in diameter.

Generally, it is between [-] and [-] centimeters.

Zhudi is mostly green, blue or yellow, and the parent body is translucent.

Its ornamentation is simple, using geometric patterns commonly used in West Asia.

This is very different from the traditional cloud patterns, panchi patterns, dragons, and wall evil patterns on Chinese jade or metal objects of the same period.

Among them, the most famous one is said to be the treasure of colored glaze beads, which is the Pearl of Suihou.

If we simply talk about the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui, even if it is not beautiful, it is also priceless. How could it be bought for 500 million?
Up to now, it is difficult to replicate the ancient colored glaze.

It is hoped that with the development of history, the dragonfly eye craft can be better developed and inherited.

And continue to use it on handicrafts, let Huaxia's glazed crafts dominate the world in terms of quality and charm to a higher level.

Otherwise, the glass, glass, and crystal products we buy are all made by foreign companies, and they have become luxury goods, which is more unacceptable.

Speaking of which, the glazed jade mirror is inlaid on the side, and its main pattern and ground pattern are decorated with cloud patterns, such cloud patterns are common in jade wares during the Warring States Period.

In the tombs of the Warring States period, it can be seen that bronze mirrors were used instead of jade bib for burial.

Chen Wenzhe looked at the bronze wares. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, there were all kinds of mirrors.

Most of these are from ancient tombs, which is related to the burial system at that time.

Bronze mirrors were used for burial. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, in addition to the same burial location and method as the jade bi, the embezzlement can also be seen in the decoration.

During the Han Dynasty, the production of bronze mirrors increased, and the meaning of bronze mirrors in tombs as practical utensils was gradually higher than that of bright utensils.

Starting from the Warring States mirrors, there have been a large number of decorative patterns representing birds, including relatively realistic bird patterns, and many variants, exaggerated, and complicated Kuifeng patterns.

Bird ornamentation continued to the Western Han Dynasty, and appeared in large numbers as auxiliary ornamentation in many ornamental varieties.

In addition to the Suzaku in the Four Spirits, there are a large number of birds and birds in the regular mirror, the beast mirror and the portrait mirror.

One of the representative works is the Dongping Han Dynasty Sishen Bo Bureau Mirror.

But this mirror was imitated in a museum in Qilu Dongping.

This museum is not well-known. If Chen Wenzhe was not from Qilu, he would certainly not know about this museum.

However, although this museum is small, there are many exquisite ancient bronze mirrors hidden in it.

"When the window is arranging clouds and temples, the decals are yellow when facing the mirror."

Facing the more than 50 exquisite bronze mirrors in Dongping Museum, the scene of ancient people's face-to-face decoration is ready to come out.

These bronze mirrors are simple and different, shining with light, silently reflecting the millennium years, making people feel nostalgic for the past, and one of the four gods Boju mirrors of the Han Dynasty is a precious boutique.
