My system is not decent

Chapter 887
Looking at the golden beast in his hand, Chen Wenzhe saw that it was a characteristic of the Western Han Dynasty.

According to his visual inspection, the height of this Western Han golden beast is more than 9100 centimeters, the overall length is more than 99 centimeters, the width of the body is about [-] centimeters, the weight reaches [-] grams, and the gold content is as high as [-]%.

This Western Han golden beast is not solid, but hollow, but its wall is thicker, so it is not easy to damage.

This is formed by pouring gold melted at high temperature, and the process is relatively complicated.

And this kind of craftsmanship also fully reflects the excellent craftsmanship of the Western Han Dynasty.

Most of the gold wares we see are made by manual hammering, but this golden beast is produced by the perfect combination of ancient gold forging technology and gold hammering technology.

In fact, whether the craftsmanship is good or not, you can tell at a glance.

A gold vessel with a height of more than ten centimeters, a length of more than fifteen centimeters, and a width of twenty centimeters, such a large body, if it is not well made, it can be seen at a glance.

Of course, if the craftsmanship is good, it will be even more beautiful.

This golden beast is in a curled up state like a puppy, with its head resting on its front legs, its waist bent and its body hugged together, its ears resting on both sides of its head, its head is big, its tail is long, and its body is short and lean. It looks like a tiger, but more like a leopard.

The golden beast's eyes were wide open, its mouth was wide open, its teeth were exposed, and its expression was very cautious.

It wears a three-wheeled collar around its neck and a ring of buttons on top of its head.

There are stripes all over the body, and the stripes are hammered on after the animal body has been prepared. They are all about the same size, showing irregular circles, and look very delicate and beautiful. .

The base of this treasure is hollow and recessed, and the inner wall is engraved with the word "Huang Jiu", which is written in Xiaozhuan, which belongs to the characters of Qin and Han Dynasties.

Seeing these two words, Chen Wenzhe suddenly realized!

This is definitely not the first time such an inscription has appeared.

Chen Wenzhe thought about it carefully, he must have seen it, but after a while, he remembered it.

There is also a golden beast like this hidden in the Nandu Museum. It is about the same size as this one, and the casting process is also similar. The main reason is that the inscriptions are different. That one seems to be Huang Liu!

At that time, some experts pointed out that the "yellow" in these two inscriptions refers to the material is gold, and the "six" is its sequential number.

Right now, the golden beast in Chen Wenzhe's hands is Huang Jiu, which is the ninth one made of gold.

"Boss, I found out again, it's a pot of gold!"

Chen Wenzhe had just studied the golden beast, and Gao Qijing sent another large golden pot.

This golden pot made of whole body gold is bigger than the golden beast.

Its height was more than thirty centimeters, and the diameter of the largest belly was more than twenty centimeters. It was really heavy to hold. Needless to say, there must be something inside.

Open this exquisitely shaped special gold pot, and the pot is filled with gold utensils.

Chen Wenzhe poured it out and took a look. There were nine and a half gold cakes inside, with a total weight of 9 grams.

There are also 15 pieces of gold similar to horseshoes. This is horseshoe gold, which was also found in the tomb of Haihunhou.

In addition to these, there are unicorn foot gold, which weighs 4845g, and the 11-piece gold version of "Ying Yuan" weighs 3260g.

Just such a gold pot, including the gold cakes inside, etc., the total weight of gold exceeds 20kg.

At this moment, Chen Wenzhe realized that the passage that Gao Qijing and the others accidentally discovered might not be a trap, but a decoy.

As long as you eat the bait, you will be lured into the fork. If you find some treasures, you will miss the real treasure!
He raised his head and looked at a wall at the corner. In fact, he could only enter the cave where a large number of gold artifacts were hidden after getting through there.

However, now there is a visible passage, does he also need to explore it?
Maybe there is danger there, but this passage should be about to reach that small port, right?How much danger can there be at such a small distance?
The most important thing is that no matter what the reason is, some precious cultural relics have appeared here, and it is impossible for Chen Wenzhe to give up.

Sure enough, after entering this passage, he did not encounter any danger, but instead gained a lot.

These include more than a dozen boxes of horseshoe gold and more than 750 boxes of gold cakes, with a total of more than [-] pieces.

Chen Wenzhe knew that these gold objects were actually the gold coins of the Han Dynasty, but not many were unearthed before, and only seventy-five pieces were found in the tomb of Marquis Haihun.

Now he has easily obtained the harvest of the stone tablet in Haihunhou's tomb.

From now on, one can also imagine how much wealth has been lost in the many tombs that have been emptied in our country!

Looking at the gold cake in his hand, Chen Wenzhe knew that it was a gold coin from the Han Dynasty, but it was a bit bigger, and it was a bit different from the gold coins we see now.

In fact, my country has a long history of using gold.

During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, ancestors had already used gold as decorations.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassal states had begun to mint gold shell coins, and the gold coin minted by the Chu State in the south - the "Yuan Jin" gold plate was spread all over the land of China.

In the Han Dynasty, gold currency prevailed, but the unit of calculation was the catty.

The gold currency of the Han Dynasty is mainly in the shape of a round cake, which is called "cake gold", "gold cake" or "persimmon gold".

There are many written records in the historical records of the Han Dynasty, mentioning the cake gold at that time, such as "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Leyangzi's Wife Biography": "Yangzi tasted the road and got a gold cake."

The Han Dynasty gold cake discovered by archeology is in the shape of a round cake. The front has been hammered, the center is concave, the edges are convex, and the back is uneven.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Han Dynasty cake gold has been unearthed in the tombs and cellars of the Han Dynasty all over the country.

It's just that the unearthed ones are scattered and not many in number.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe had quite a few in front of him, after all, he had seven hundred and fifty coins.

There are so many gold cakes, and there are inscriptions on them.

There are almost all characters or symbols on these cakes, and the content is very rich. There are characters indicating surnames or names, such as Jun, Huang, Qi, Zhang, Tu, Wang and so on.

There are characters identifying the celestial stems and earthly branches or directions, such as Shang, Chen, etc.;
There are characters expressing weight, such as jinbaliang, jinjiuzhu, jinbaliang, jinbaliang, jinbaliang, jinbaliang, jinbaliang, etc.;

Some are numbers, such as one, two, three, etc.;
Some are characters representing officials, such as Taishi, Ling, etc., and there are many unreadable inscription symbols.

From now on, it can be confirmed that these gold cakes must have belonged to the currency in circulation back then, otherwise there would not be so many messy gold cakes buried in a large tomb!

Chen Wenzhe studied for a while and found that the manufacturing level of these gold cakes is still acceptable, and it can even be said that they are produced in a standardized manner.

Because the gold content of these Han Dynasty gold cakes is relatively high, generally the gold content is more than 95%.

Although the size, thickness, and weight of each gold cake are different, Chen Wenzhe knows that this is because they can be cut at will during circulation.

After all, gold is more precious, even if it is small, sometimes you need change!
