Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 308 This Golden Seal Looks Familiar

I have to say that although the climate here in Spring City is pleasant and the seasons are like spring, the sunshine in the plateau area is really poisonous.

The four of them walked around for a while, and all of them were tanned by more than one shade.

At that time, Wang Qiang, who swore that sunscreen and parasols were things for women, now has to succumb to the "desire" of ultraviolet rays, rubbing Bai Lu's parasols, and still remembers to continue live streaming.

After swimming in Dianchi Lake, the two groups of soldiers split into two groups.

Wang Qiang and Bai Lu took Wukong and continued to start a journey of looking for food under the advice of netizens in the live broadcast room.

Lin Yi and Qian Sheng went directly to the Southern Yunnan Provincial Museum.

If you want to understand the historical heritage of a place, the museum is the most suitable place.

In the beginning, Lin Yi was greatly inspired by visiting the ruins of the "Mancheng Han Tomb", and finally found the "Shuangzhou Tomb" hidden in the mountains.

Although the Southern Dian Museum is not comparable to the famous ancient city museums in the Central Plains, the ancient Dian Kingdom was born here, and these are enough for the cultural relics workers here to study for a lifetime.

The two came to the museum, followed other tour groups, and listened to the explanation for a while, but they didn't hear any topics they were interested in.

So, just go shopping by yourself.

Qian Sheng was very familiar with the cultural relics in these museums.

Let him talk, it is really eloquent and eloquent.

In order not to grab people's jobs, the two chose not to be so public, and communicate with each other in a low voice.

"In fact, the ancient Dian Kingdom, as a country that ruled the southern Yunnan region for a long time in ancient times, their historical relics were almost blank before.

In the "Historical Records", the records of the ancient Dian Kingdom are only a few hundred words, and there is no way to study them.

It was not until the 60s and [-]s that a group of professional archaeological experts stationed here and began the first large-scale archaeological excavation in Shizhai Mountain.

Once this archaeological operation was launched, it was out of control.

From the Shizhaishan site, more than 500 tombs have been excavated, which can be called a huge tomb community.

And hundreds of bronze wares were unearthed.

The reason why I am so familiar with it is because when I was a student, the father of the teacher who taught us the appreciation of bronzes was involved in the archeology and excavation of the Shizhaishan site in the ancient Dian Kingdom.

The most famous among them, and also the treasure of the Southern Yunnan Museum, are two shell storage vessels.

Well, this is what we have in front of us. "

As he spoke, Qian Sheng pointed to the two bronze wares in front of them.

Lin Yi still knew this type of bronze ware.

The shell storage device is equivalent to the change box or piggy bank at that time, because shell coins were still used in remote areas at that time, so this kind of utensil came into being.

It's just that the shapes of these two shell storage containers are quite complicated.

The lid of one of the conical vessels is decorated with seven cows.

This may be the original owner of this utensil. In order to show off his wealth, he specially built such a piggy bank.

After all, there are seven cows in the family, not to mention the big local tyrants in ancient times, even now, at least they can be considered a well-off family.

The other one is more interesting and complex.

It is also a round vessel, but a sacrificial activity is performed on the lid.

It can be seen from the postures of the characters that there is a person tied to a pillar for sacrifice, and two small figures kneeling next to him are also tied up, which should belong to another batch of sacrifices.Next to these villains, there is a huge sacrificial pillar.

It is carved with giant pythons wrapped around the pillars, and those busy people are performing sacrifices.

It was the first time Lin Yi saw this thing.

He stood there, carefully observing the various details carved on the cover through the glass cover.

"The ancient Dian Kingdom actually regarded the giant python as its totem?"

"That's right, do you remember the Jingjue Kingdom before? That's right, the ancient Dian Kingdom is actually a descendant of the Chiyou Jiuli tribe in ancient times."

After Qian Sheng's reminder, Lin Yi suddenly remembered.

At the beginning, most of the descendants of the Chiyou clan fled to the southwest region, from Jingchu to Yunnan and Guizhou, and even Southeast Asia.

However, the real totem of the Chiyou tribe is the two-horned ox.

The Jingjue Kingdom regards the "Soaring Snake" unique to the Kunlun Mountains as its totem.

What was the reason for the ancient Dian Kingdom?

Could it be influenced by Jingjue Kingdom?The two places are separated by thousands of miles, and there is basically no possibility of communication.

Qian Sheng saw Lin Yi's thoughts, so he comforted him:
"Brother, don't worry about this matter. The southwest region is full of poisonous substances, and it is also a habitat for snakes. Besides, the python species was second only to dragons in people's hearts in ancient times. It is not normal to be a totem. ?

Don't forget that we are not here to investigate the ancient Dian Kingdom this time. "

Hearing this, Lin Yi's thoughts finally returned to the right track.

Indeed, as Qian Sheng said, in the eyes of ancient humans, the species of snake almost held the power of life and death.

It has no legs but can move quickly. It has almost no body temperature. It only appears three seasons a year and disappears in winter. In spring, it seems to come back from the dead, shed its skin, and can kill people quickly.

Putting all these factors together, based on the human worldview at that time, it was a very normal behavior to worship this kind of animals because of fear and unknown, and pray that they would not bring harm to themselves.

Maybe it's just a coincidence with Jing Jue's "Soaring Snake Worship".

And another treasure of the town hall - a snake button "the seal of the king of Dian" made of pure gold bestowed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the king of the ancient Dian Kingdom, attracted Lin Yi's attention.

Seeing his concentration in front of the glass showcase, Qian Sheng helped him explain.

"Academic circles have never had a clear conclusion on the origin of this gold seal, because judging from its shape, it is a snake button. Hanyin has extremely strict requirements on the standard of the seal button. The seals of the emperor and empress should be chi tiger buttons. , the princes and kings use camel buttons, while the princes use turtle buttons. Snake buttons are not a common shape.

Since the Dian Kingdom was required to surrender to the Han Dynasty, why not issue the seal according to the Han's etiquette, but instead carve the Dian Kingdom's totem on it? This is a bit unreasonable. "

"However, the format and font of this gold seal are all characteristics of typical Han seals, right?"

Qian Sheng stretched out his little finger with long nails and rubbed the back of his head.

"That's right, this is an obvious feature. No, brother, just say it if you have something to say, that's what we do, so we can't miss it, can't we? I'm a little unsure of what you're saying. Woolen cloth?"

"Do you think, where have we seen the engraving and knife marks on this seal, as well as this print?"

"Where have you seen it? I have dealt with Hanyin a few times, but we brothers don't seem to have seen many together."

Speaking of this, Qian Sheng's eyes suddenly widened.

"The Royal Treasure of King Daxi! You mean the Royal Treasure of King Daxi?"
