China has always been in the leading position in ancient science and technology, and has created many incredible things. Just like the sword of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, although it has been more than two thousand years, it still cuts iron like mud, leaving no trace of rust, which is amazing so far. Today, school easy search is going to talk about another treasure, which was excavated in an ancient tomb during the Warring States period.

1990, an ancient tomb was discovered in Shitang Village, Banshan Town, Hangzhou. According to archaeological research, this tomb is an ancient tomb of the Warring States period, which has been around for more than 2,000 years. Because the owner of the tomb is not very noble, I thought there were no exquisite funerary objects. But when archaeologists were digging, they suddenly saw something like a water cup in the soil and cleaned it carefully.

Archaeologists at that time were very excited because it was a crystal cup in the Warring States period, and its appearance was very similar to that of the present glass. But in the Warring States period two thousand years ago, it was a wonderful work to make such a crystal cup. As soon as this news came out, many people suspected that it was a crystal cup that crossed the past, and some even said that it was a drinking cup left by grave robbers in the tomb.

After the crystal cup was unearthed, it was identified by experts as a treasure of the Warring States and a rare national treasure. Cultural relics experts say that China has a long history of using crystals, which can be traced back to hundreds of thousands of years ago. Many crystal products have been unearthed in the ruins of the new era. It is normal to make such a beautiful crystal cup with the craftsmanship of the Warring States period.

Although the shape of the crystal cup is similar to that of the current glass, it was a rare object in the Warring States period and will never be used by ordinary people. Even nobles can't drink water. It's probably a sacrificial treasure or a family heirloom.

Anyway, the value of this Warring States Crystal Cup cannot be measured by money. After all, there is only one. In order to better protect it, in 2002, the Warring States Crystal Cup was listed in the list of cultural relics prohibited from going abroad for exhibition, and it is definitely a fighter in the national treasure.

Xiao Yisu believes that national treasures such as the Warring States Crystal Cup should be well protected, because they are easily damaged and extremely rare. If it is damaged because it is put out for exhibition, it will be an irreparable loss of cultural heritage and a great disrespect for the wisdom of ancient working people. what do you think?
