My system is not decent

Chapter 1841

Why is the Shenmian You the highest artistic level among the bronze wares of the Western Zhou Dynasty?
Just one thing, that is, the God's Mask is a three-dimensional artwork, so why is it called a three-dimensional artwork?

Three-dimensional artwork will bring visual impact to visitors.

All the carved patterns on the god's mask do not exist in isolation.

Instead, through organic arrangement and combination, a mysterious and weird atmosphere is created.

Looking at this utensil will make people feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

It is still hard for us to imagine that the ancients 3000 years ago were able to use the most primitive means to create such a bronze ware that surpassed other bronze ware.

Obviously, these special bronze wares are more famous. Since they are famous, there will naturally be many people imitating them.

"Heh, are these the five heaven-defying bronze wares handed down from ancient times?"

Every time he saw these five bronze wares, Chen Wenzhe felt that the IQ of the ancients was overwhelming.

It is because these few bronze wares against the sky are quite special, especially the last two pieces, many people think that they probably came from time travel.

The wisdom of the ancients is beyond our imagination. In the past thousands of years, the ancients have left us many valuable cultural relics.

These things all have superb craftsmanship, as well as unpredictable design concepts.

It is precisely because of these cultural relics left by history that we can learn more about history.

Relying on these cultural relics, historians have answered many questions.

Cultural relics determine their value according to their age and material.

Therefore, there are many cultural relics, which are called priceless treasures by the country.

In people's understanding, cultural relics carry a profound history.

Therefore, it is generally in line with that era, and there are more solemn ones.

However, many of the cultural relics unearthed today look like a joke, making people think that they have traveled back from modern times.

A Ya Chou square gui stored in the Wanwan Museum is said to be the most precious cultural relic in our country.

It is a cultural relic from the Shang Dynasty, but somehow it was lost to Wanwan, and now it is the treasure of the town hall.

The texture on the surface of this gui is complicated, and it can be seen from its shape that it is a vessel for holding wine.

This one is considered a national treasure that few people know, but the next few are very familiar to the world.

The second piece is Zenghouyi Bingjian, which Chen Wenzhe has seen before, but now it is a high imitation.

This bronze ware is a bronze ware from the Warring States Period in my country. Although it is called Bing Jian, it is used to keep warm.

This object is the ancestor of the refrigerator. This ice mirror has also been designated as a national treasure by the country, and it is forbidden to be exhibited.

The third piece is the Stepmother Wu Ding. Although there are a lot of bronze cultural relics unearthed in my country, and the number of tripods among them is not less than a few, this tripod is said to be the treasure of the town.

This tripod is most famous for its weight, which weighs more than 600 catties.

But because it has been through too long, it was damaged by tomb robbers during the period, and its leg was broken later, but the same leg could not be made, so it was amputated.

Although it is not a complete cultural relic, its status is still very important, and it is now on display in the National Museum.

This is why Yangluo's antique artists are so good. What they imitate is definitely not a defective product, but a complete product.

Although restoration and imitation are two different things, it is still very technical to be able to cast such a heavy and identical stepmother Wuding at one time.

The next one is amazing, don’t be surprised, the sun gear unearthed in Sanxingdui.

This is one of the ancient civilizations. If no one said it was a cultural relic, many people would think that someone's steering wheel fell off.

This national treasure-level ancient cultural relic, because of its high-tech appearance, has also cast a layer of mystery on it. It is still impossible to determine what this bronze ware is used for.

Keep your eyes open to let you see what high technology is. The last cultural relic is definitely a journey through the past.

The cloud-pattern copper five-pillar ware was unearthed in Huizhou Province. It was discovered by workers at a construction site. It was handed over to the state and then designated as a national first-class protected cultural relic.

Later, someone wrote an article because of its appearance, and then this bronze device that resembled a router became popular.

The ancients were still very advanced, and routers were used.

No wonder so many miraculous things can be invented that even modern science can't explain.

Seeing the imitations of these five national treasures, Chen Wenzhe didn't know that the store he visited this time had a curious museum.

The bronze wares here all have some unusual ways.

For example, the mysterious bronzes that have puzzled archaeologists for centuries.

This thing does not seem to be made in China. Chen Wenzhe knew about it before, but he really didn't understand it in detail. It is a dodecahedron made of copper.

The first dodecahedrons were discovered nearly 300 years ago, but no one was sure what they were for.

One day in August 1987, a man named Brian Campbell was filling a hole left by a tree stump in his yard in Romford, East London.

His shovel had touched some kind of metal.

He leaned down and pulled an object out of the dirt, oddly shaped.

The object is small -- smaller than a tennis ball -- and has a thick layer of clay stuck to it.

The first impression I saw when I saw this thing was whether it was beautifully made and ingenious...

Also, it was probably made by blacksmiths as some sort of measuring tool.

Campbell then placed the artifact on the windowsill of his kitchen.

It was there for the next 10 years or so.

He then visited the Roman fortress and archaeological park in Saarburg, Germany.

There, in a glass display case, was a nearly identical object.

He realized he had found a surprise in his garden because he knew it was a Roman dodecahedron.

The 12-sided metal mystery that has puzzled archaeologists for centuries came out of this thing.

Although dozens, if not hundreds, of explanations have been offered for the dodecahedron, no one is sure of their purpose.

It's an old puzzle that no one has figured out yet.

The first Roman dodecahedron to fascinate archaeologists was discovered about 300 years ago.

That one was buried in a field in the English countryside, along with some ancient coins.

A piece of mixed metal, or brass in ancient times, consisting of 12 equal sides.

So read the description of the egg-sized object when it was shown to the Antiquities Society of London in 1739.

These 12 faces, having "the same number of perforations within them, of varying diameters, but facing each other ... Each face has a knob or small ball fastened to it."

The finely crafted metal casing, and its purpose, can confuse antiquarians.

The dodecahedron in 1739 was far from the last to be discovered.

Since then, more than 100 similar objects have been found at dozens of sites across Northern Europe.

Its history can be traced back to around the 1st century AD to the 5th century AD.
