Digging up my own ancestral grave, the school flower insists that I am a tomb robber

Chapter 409 One of the Nine Cauldrons? !
The reason why everyone was surprised was because there were no coffins in the bronze palace, but the layout was the same as at home. The most important thing was that there was no heavy dust in the palace. For a moment, everyone just I feel like I'm back in that era,
"My good fellow, if I feel in a trance for a while, I feel like I'm going home. It's true..." Ting Zen couldn't help but say.

"I do feel that way!" Heizi also nodded.

After entering the bronze palace, looking around, the layout of the palace,
quickly,

Not surprisingly,

Ye Wen's eyes lit up again, and his emotions became agitated and excited in an instant.

“这……这是春秋云纹铜禁！禁长103厘米、通长124厘米、禁宽47.3厘米、通宽68.3厘米、禁高14.5厘米、通高29.5厘米，重达95.5公斤，呈长方形。

Twelve dragon-shaped beasts hold their heads high, their bellies bulging and their tails up. The crowns on the top of their heads and the horns on both sides are embossed with moire patterns, and the tails of the beasts are decorated with flowers.

The animal head opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue facing the forbidden surface, and the tongue rolled up to the top of the forbidden surface, as if its eyes were staring at the fine wine on the forbidden surface, salivating.

There are 12 dragon-shaped beasts at the bottom of the ban, supporting the body of the ban, with a straight chest and a concave waist.

It consists of three parts: the forbidden body, 12 dragon-shaped appendages, and 12 dragon-shaped seat beasts.

The forbidden body is composed of the forbidden surface and the surrounding side walls, the wall thickness is less than 5 cm, and it is hollow.

In the thickness of the copper ban less than 5 cm, there are five layers of structure: the fifth layer is composed of extra-thick straight copper stalks in the shape of a mouth,

The fourth layer of thin copper stalks is attached to the fifth layer of copper stalks, bent upwards or upwards after being stretched flat, and supports the third layer of copper stalks after bifurcating.

The third layer of copper stalks is a thinner straight stalk; the second layer stands on the third layer of copper stalks, and is a small round column that gradually becomes thinner or a herringbone column that forks below.

These four layers of copper stalks are interspersed and connected to form a rectangular frame, which supports the moiré pattern and plays a role of stability and load-bearing.The first layer and the outermost layer are cloud patterns, mostly composed of C-shaped patterns, deformed herringbone patterns and X-shaped patterns.

They are interlaced but not intersected, forming an openwork moiré plane.The forbidden surface is composed of a rectangular flat copper plate in the middle, and there is a reinforcing beam on the back of the copper plate.

There are 12 gates above the buttocks of the 12 beasts that support the copper ban at the four corners of the base and the lower end of the ban, and there are residual pillars left at the gate.There are 12 riser traces at the middle point of every two beasts on the bottom edge of the forbidden side.

There are 12 dragon-shaped monsters clinging around the forbidden area, four at the front and back, and two at the left and right sides.

There are 12 mortises on the forbidden body, and each of the 12 attached beasts has a mortise on its belly.The same is true for the foot beast. There are 12 protruding columns at the bottom of the forbidden area, and there is a hole in the waist of the foot beast, which can be inserted into it. "

When Ye Wen's excited voice fell, Ye Jin also said excitedly, "The real spring and autumn cloud pattern copper ban, I think I saw it in the literature before, and this is the first one I found.

This well-proportioned design, ingenious shape, and exquisite casting technology make the whole utensil full of domineering, forming a mysterious and distinct artistic effect, which is amazing.

The moiré copper bar is cast by the lost wax method as a whole.According to the literature, the earliest use of the lost wax process in my country was in the early Tang Dynasty. The academic circles generally believe that the lost wax process in China originated from another ancient country. .

However, the moire copper ban is enough to push forward the history of my country's lost wax casting process by 1100 years.

From this point of view, the lost wax casting process was quite mature in my country at least 2500 years ago. "

After the voice fell, Ye Wen nodded vigorously, "Yes! Yes! This is really a major discovery, the treasure of the country, the most important weapon of the country!"

Having said that, Ye Wen hurriedly asked the archaeological team to be careful, and the Spring and Autumn Cloud Pattern Copper Ban had to be taken back.

then,

Ye Wen and the others continued wandering around in the bronze palace, and in a remote corner stood a large tripod,
Ye Jin looked at the cauldron carefully, and couldn't tell what kind of cauldron it was for a while. When he was wondering, Ye Jin's eyes lit up, "Professor, come quickly!"

After hearing Ye Jin's words, Ye Wen knew that Ye Jin must have discovered something remarkable, so he hurriedly walked to Ye Jin's side,

At this time,

Ye Jin asked, "Professor, do you think this looks like one of the nine tripods!?"

Hearing this, Ye Wen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly took out a magnifying glass to look at it carefully,

Hearing Ye Jin's words, the rest of the archaeological team also paid attention to Jiuding, even if they don't understand it, they know Jiuding, even if they don't know it in detail, they must know it.

Jiuding is synonymous with China and a symbol of the supremacy of kingship and the unity and prosperity of the country.The Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and Zhou Dynasty were regarded as the national treasures that symbolized the state power.During the Warring States period, both Qin and Chu sent troops to Luoyi, the king's city of Zhou, to seek a tripod.

During the reign of King Xian of Zhou, Jiuding was buried under Sishui.Later emperors attached great importance to the power symbol and meaning of Jiuding, and they recast Jiuding many times. Wu Zetian and Song Huizong also cast Jiuding.

According to legend, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, King Yu of Xia divided the world into Kyushu, ordered Kyushu to contribute bronze and cast Jiuding, which symbolized Kyushu, engraved the famous mountains and rivers and strange objects of Kyushu on the body of Kyushu, and concentrated Nine Ding in the capital of Xia Dynasty.

Although there is no record about Dayu melting bronze in "Zuo Zhuan", the earliest record of Jiuding, it is mentioned that the map of Kyushu engraved on the tripod actually symbolizes that all Kyushu in the world belonged to the Xia Dynasty, so ambitious and heroic. The courage also made Jiuding become the treasure of the Xia Dynasty.

After Shang Tang expelled Xia Jie, he moved Jiuding to his capital.After Pan Geng established his capital in Yin, Jiuding moved here.

After Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he publicly displayed Jiuding.After Zhou Chengwang came to the throne, Zhou Gongdan built Luoyi and placed Jiuding in the city, and asked Cheng Wang to personally preside over the ceremony and place Jiuding in the Ming Hall.

According to the records of the Zhou Ben of the Historical Records: Cheng Zaifeng sent Zhaogong back to camp in Luoyi, just as King Wu wanted.The Duke of Zhou returned to Bu Shenshi, and the soldiers built camps and lived in Jiuding Yan.

In the second year after Qin destroyed Zhou, the nine tripods of the Zhou royal family were moved westward to Xianyang.But when Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, the whereabouts of Jiuding was no longer known.Some people say that Jiuding sank in Pengcheng, Surabaya. Qin Shihuang sent people to dive to salvage it when he visited Pengcheng, Surabaya, but it was in vain.

So far, Jiuding has never been whereabouts again. Of course, although there are some records and legends, whether Jiuding really exists or not is unknown and needs to be verified.

If the one in the bronze palace here is really one of the nine tripods, then this is tantamount to a momentary bomb.

At that time, the entire Chinese archaeological circle, and even the world archaeological circle will set off a storm.

"Professor, how is it? Is this... one of the nine tripods?" Ye Jin couldn't help asking.

At this time, Ye Wen also felt a little guilty, "I'm not sure about this."

Immediately, Ye Wen looked at Chen Mu and said, "What do you think, sir? Is this one of the nine tripods!?"
