This sword is one of the most exquisite and complete swords of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, which is known at present. Fu Cha was the last monarch of the State of Wu, who reigned from 495 BC to 473 BC. It is understood that this sword adopts split casting technology, which is an advanced technology in China bronze casting technology. Generally, parts with complex or special requirements are cast first, and then inserted into the corresponding parts of He Fan for fusion casting. This technique is used in the ears of famous two-color swords and most utensils. In addition, the disc-shaped head is cast with many rings of exquisite and deep concentric ribs, which have been tested many times by Shanghai Museum and other institutions, and it is very difficult to copy and imitate under modern technology. The reporter saw that this sword was exquisitely cast. After more than 2,400 years, it is still as new and extremely sharp. According to the test made by Suzhou Museum, the 12 layer rice paper can be easily cut by the weight of the sword body without external force, and the sharpness of that year can be imagined.

Gou Jian's sword is a national treasure, which caused a sensation in the world as soon as it was unearthed that year.

Next to the sword of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, is the treasure of another country-Gou Jian's sword. This sword of Gou Jian, King of Yue, is now in the Hubei Provincial Museum. Gou Jian, King of Yue, is an outstanding representative of sword casting technology in the late Spring and Autumn Period. This sword is 55.7 cm long and 4.6 cm wide. It has caused a sensation in the world since it was unearthed from TombNo. 1965 in Wangshan, Jiangling, Hubei. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, rolled his sword head into a hoop shape and cast eleven concentric circles inside. The sword body is covered with diamond-shaped dark lines, and the sides of the sword lattice are inlaid with blue glass and turquoise respectively. There are two lines of eight-character bird inscriptions on the sword body near the sword lattice: "The shallow pigeon of the King of Yue acts as a sword" and "the shallow pigeon" means Gou Jian.

At that time, the close relationship between Chu and Yue was due to the enemy of * * *-Wu, and the mother of King Hui of Chu was the daughter of Gou Jian, the King of Yue. But with the demise of Wu, Chu and Vietnam drifted away, and finally Chu destroyed them. According to experts' analysis, this sword may be the dowry of the Yue people, or it may be a trophy obtained after the demise of Chu. Now the sword of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, is combined with that of Gou Jian, the king of Yue. The grand occasion of the Five Mountains for hegemony has long passed, and their owners have long been historical figures, leaving only these two swords to confront each other.

◎ This sword is also very precious: the inscription on it was renamed by historical records.

The reporter found that a very precious jade sword was also on display at the exhibition site. This sword is 57.5 cm long and 4.8 cm wide, and it is collected by Suzhou Museum on 20 14. According to reports, this sword ridge is engraved with inscriptions on both sides, one line on each side, with a total of 75 words. There are few bronzes in the Wu royal family, most of which are weapons, but there are few commemorative contents in the inscriptions. The inscription on this sword involves three kings: Shoumeng, Yuji, Yuheng and Wu Yuechu. There are three wars: the battle of cutting hemp, the battle of Chu and Yue, and the battle of Yue. Therefore, this sword of the king of Wu is one of the most important weapons of the royal family of Wu, and it is also the longest inscription among the weapons in the pre-Qin period. This sword inscription also indirectly cracked the previous dispute between Historical Records and Zuo Zhuan about the years of Yu's sacrifice and the years of Yu Heng's reign, and affirmed the correctness of the records in Historical Records.

Remind the King of Yue that Gou Jian's sword is only on display for 8 days, so I want to see it.

The underground exhibition hall contains 92 sets 1 15 pieces of Wu Yuechu bronzes collected by 22 domestic cultural and artistic institutions, including the Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum, Nanjing Museum, Zhejiang Museum, Anhui Museum, Hubei Museum, Henan Museum and Suzhou Museum. The casting techniques, crafts, ornamentation, inscriptions and shapes of these bronzes silently describe the social life, laws and regulations, national strength and regional characteristics of Wuyue Chu more than two thousand years ago.

Franz Chen, deputy director of Suzhou Museum, told reporters that he hopes to reconstruct the "dream of a great country" for the audience through this exhibition, and also hopes to further promote the cultural exchange and academic research of Chu in wuyue through this exhibition. In order to cooperate with the exhibition, Suzhou Museum will launch a series of activities such as Wu Yuechu's special bronze exhibition lecture, cultural experience tour and interactive game experience in the the glory of the king exhibition hall.

The reporter learned that the exhibition will last from today until September 3, and the audience can visit it for free. Among them, Gou Jian's sword was only exhibited for 8 days. If you want to see "Double Sword Combination", hurry up!
