Chapter 905 The Ultimate Gold and Silverware
Among the silverware found, the most novel shape is the silver bean with a cover in front of Chen Wenzhe. Its cover and belly are decorated with petal-shaped convex bubbles.

This kind of pattern composed of convex bubbles is very rare in China.

However, on the gold and silverware of the ancient Persian Achaemenid dynasty, it is a commonly used decorative technique.

This can only show that in the Han Dynasty, these things may have been influenced by the West.

There are also two Western Han silver plates, both of which are decorated with gilt patterns on the belly. These are gold flower silver plates.

The golden flower silver plate is the so-called "钑针银银", which became the most important variety of gold and silverware in the Tang Dynasty.

The things in front of Chen Wenzhe are enough to show that this technique has already appeared in the Han Dynasty!

Silver plates and silver bowls were not uncommon in the Han Dynasty, but they were relatively rare in the Qin Dynasty, because at that time, such things had just appeared.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe paid special attention to see if there is anything from the Qin Dynasty here.

After paying such a little attention, he really found another one, which was a gold and silver Yuefu bell made of Qin fault.

There are many crafts used on this Qin Dynasty utensil.

Looking at these gold and silver artifacts, Chen Wenzhe can see a lot of top skills from them.

The production of gold and silver wares in the Qin Dynasty has comprehensively used casting, welding, filigree, embedded casting, filing, polishing, various mechanical connections, and gluing techniques, and has reached a very high level.

If Chen Wenzhe wants to learn how to make gold and silverware, he can learn a lot of skills through just a few silver plates and flat bells from the Qin and Han Dynasties. .

It's a pity that he can't chew more than he can chew. He has passed the state of learning when he sees good things.

There are so many good skills in this world, how difficult is it for him to learn them all?
You must know that he has learned a lot of techniques now, and he hasn't mastered all of them yet.

If he wants to learn, he needs to wait for him to learn all the existing techniques thoroughly, at least all of them must reach the master level before he can be greedy for perfection.

"Huh? I finally met something good again."

Take them out one by one, arrange and record them, and then pack them into boxes.

A lot of gold and silver plates and bowls were dug out, and even four or five flat bells were found. At this time, a square gold seal appeared in front of his eyes.

Turn it over and look, seal characters, and it is a big seal.

He didn't know the others, but he still knew the four seal characters of "Chu King Zhiyin".

The seal of the King of Dian was unearthed before, and there is only one letter difference from this golden seal.

As for the seal script of Chu characters, Chen Wenzhe must know it!
Because this time he came here just to find some funeral objects for the princes and princes of the Chu Kingdom, so he was naturally prepared.

Looking at the golden seal in his hand, Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that this kind of golden seal representing Chu's inheritance could be buried with him?

It's right to think about it, isn't the original seal of the king of Dian also buried in the ground?

Regardless of whether it was a fake one or the gold seal used by the real King of Chu, it had already come to him anyway.

As for the king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty, he didn't care what kind of gold seal was used in the future!
After a little research, Chen Wenzhe put it away.

There are a lot of good things here. It can be said that if you don’t dig the tombs of the kings of the Han Dynasty, you really won’t know how powerful the Han Dynasty was.

Now Chen Wenzhe has seen it, such as some rare gold and silver containers, there are too many here.

There are many here, but it does not mean that in ancient times, there were many found in previous unearthed tombs.

Of course, the gold and silver wares unearthed in the tombs of the Han Dynasty far surpassed those of the pre-Qin period in terms of quantity, variety, and craftsmanship.

Generally speaking, gold and silver containers are not uncommon.

However, compared with gold and silver jewelry, gold and silver containers are much less.

Among the tombs unearthed in the past, the most common gold and silver wares are still ornaments. There are not many gold and silver wares, and gold vessels are even rarer.

Perhaps because of the prevalence of gilding in this period, gilt ware was used as a substitute.

In previous archaeological excavations, most of the gold and silver vessels of the Han Dynasty were made of silver.

Silver bowls, plates, pots, boxes, etc. are found in various places.

Generally, the shape of the utensils is relatively simple, mostly plain.

But here, the most common ones are gold products, and the most exquisite ones are actually gold containers.

For example, the golden pot in front of me, especially the dragon pattern on it, or the golden dragon, is really exquisitely made.

"Huh? The golden beads wrapped around the golden dragon are not simple!"

After a short look, Chen Wenzhe found that it used the wire drawing and gold particle soldering process.

Now Chen Wenzhe is considered well-informed. He naturally knows that since the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China, techniques such as foil making, wire drawing, and casting used in processing gold have continued to be used until now.

In ancient times, especially in the Han Dynasty, gold leaf was not only cut into strips for wrapping around the rings of blades, but also cut into patterns to affix lacquerware.

And gold silk is mostly used to weave jade clothes, and it has been found in large quantities in large tombs where jade clothes were produced.

As far as production technology is concerned, the most important achievement of the Han Dynasty gold craftsman is the invention of the gold particle welding process.

This is to weld small gold grains and gold wires as thin as corn to the surface of gold wares to form decorations.

Many of the discovered Han tombs have unearthed horseshoe gold and Linzhi gold ornaments inlaid with glazed surfaces. The upper parts of their walls are all welded with beaded strips composed of small gold grains.

The most famous one is the tomb of Haihunhou, in which this kind of horseshoe gold and Linzhi gold appeared.

Now this kind of craftsmanship appeared on a golden pot, which surprised Chen Wenzhe a bit.

Carefully pick it up and hold it in the palm of your hand for a closer look.

There was a lot of dust on it, and after he cleaned it up a bit, Chen Wenzhe was a little dumbfounded.

The craftsmanship of this golden pot was far beyond his imagination.

He really didn't expect that a golden pot could be made so complicated.

Compared with the craftsmanship on it, the little gold used to make the golden pot is really worthless.

Not to mention other things, the heavy ring pattern on this golden pot is welded with small gold particles as thin as amaranth.

At the same time, several golden dragons on the golden pot were also made using this technique.

Especially one of the little dragons was made too finely.

That is on the bean-sized faucet, the eyes, nose, teeth, horns, beards and other organs can be composed of tiny gold grains and gold threads, and these features can be seen in every detail, and the grains can be distinguished.

On the other side, the slightly larger golden dragon head not only has a more delicate structure of gold grains and gold threads, but even the dragon's horns are wrapped with thin gold threads, and turquoise and rubies are also inlaid on it.

If there is only one dragon, it is more complicated and takes a little effort, but it is not impossible.

However, on this golden pot, there are 1 big dragon and 6 small dragons. These big and small dragons are all made with this kind of complicated craftsmanship.

This is not over yet, after being welded in this way, the effect needs to be made to make them appear in the lingering clouds.

The pattern on this gold pot, with its vivid composition and fine craftsmanship, has reached the pinnacle of Han Dynasty gold and silver wares.
