A national treasure that has spanned thousands of years is a symbol of civilization’s past. Bronze shows the dignity of an emperor, jasper embodies the spirit of a gentleman, calligraphy and painting convey the events of the universe, and beautiful porcelain expresses the charm of China... They are precious heritage left by the long-standing Chinese nation, and behind them there are amazing things. The legendary story of sigh.

From jade porcelain and jade to bronze chariots and horses, from blue and white glaze to ink paintings, every national treasure is an old movie that condenses the essence of history and culture, making every moviegoer either soul-stirring or... Sighing with regret, either overjoyed or lamenting. Let us choose a few of them. As the film slowly plays, the protagonists' past glory and disgrace are reawakened. It was once brilliant, but now it is fragrant again.

High School Musical - "Super Band"

My spoiler:

The ancient road of Huangchen, the sound of camel ***.

Since Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty cleared the Western Regions, the Silk Road has seen unprecedented caravans and crowds of people.

The sun fell on the faces of people coming and going. Among them were wealthy businessmen, ascetic monks, and scholars studying... Everyone looked tired and anxious. . No cell phones, no tablets, not even a radio to listen to! How can people spend this long journey?

Suddenly, a melodious and sweet tune came from the camel team. People taking a nap under the scorching sun felt as if they had been caught in a heavy rain and immediately became more energetic! Everyone poked their heads and looked towards the source of the sound - they saw a "women's band" walking on camels slowly walking out of the caravan! The camel walked with its head held high, taking one step at a time; a small platform was built on its back with a carrying frame and covered with colorful blankets; seven musicians and one singer sat around on the platform, playing and singing in the wind, looking at ease.

Among them, seven women sat around the edge of the platform, holding panpipes, flutes and other musical instruments, immersed in the music, ignoring the amazed gazes around them. The singer singing in the middle has a hair style typical of women in the Tang Dynasty, and wears a long skirt with a high waist. Her head is slightly raised, her hands are waved gently, and she looks elegant and confident. The camel moves forward slowly to the beat; the song goes back and forth a thousand times, and the sound is heard...

Let me tell the story:

Most people just sit on a high camel's back It would be a bit scary to go up there, not to mention eight people performing on the back of a hunchback at the same time! Is there really such a well-coordinated and highly skilled girl band?

In fact, this is just an artistic exaggeration by the ancients. Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the "international stage" at that time, where musicians and dancers from all over the world gathered. Camels are not only a means of transportation for Hu merchants to carry goods, but also become a "mobile" stage for performances. Music from the Western Regions may be exciting and cheerful, or may be gentle and elegant. Artists who are good at singing and dancing perform their praises of the peaceful and prosperous times. The artist captured all this under his own carving knife and created a vivid and lifelike Tang Sancai work - a three-color camel carrying music figurine.

The "three" here is not just three colors! Tang Sancai uses simple yellow, green, and brown glaze colors as its basic glaze colors, transforming it into a colorful and even extremely exaggerated art world. As it is said in "Laozi. Tao Te Ching": "One is born with two, two begets three, and three begets all things."

Although we cannot ride on the same camel, similar bands did exist in the Tang Dynasty. The romance and exaggeration of artists in the Tang Dynasty correspond to the saying - "As big as the heart is, the stage will be as big as it is."

Palace power struggle drama - "The Mystery of the Bamboo Festival"

My spoiler:

In the sixth year of King Huai of Chu, Ejun Mansion.

"Hurry up!" "Work harder!"

The domestic slaves are busy inside and outside the compound, loading mountains of goods onto the car. The owner E Junqi is waiting aside. As long as the equipment is ready, he can set off with the cargo team. The freight convoy had to pass through many checkpoints along the way, and E Junqi was burdened with matters such as tax payment and arrangements for carriages and horses, which made him exhausted every time.

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about these trivial matters in the future. Just a few days ago, his brother, King Chu Huai, the king of Chu, had just summoned him. King Huai signaled his followers to read out the edict and named him "E Lord". "E" was the place name at that time, referring to Echeng County in Hubei Province today, and "Ejun" was the name given to the feudal lord in Echeng.

Then, King Huai ordered someone to bring out a large plate, which contained five bamboo tube-shaped bronze bamboo sections. These include three pieces of "Car Festival" and two pieces of "Boat Festival". Traveling merchants who hold this festival will have a smooth journey. Not only can they pass duty-free, but the caravan can also enjoy the rich hospitality of fine wine and food. Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"I will definitely save a lot of hard work on my future business trips!" Thinking of this, E Junqi breathed a sigh of relief. How did he know that behind this, there was a bigger mystery hidden...

Let me tell the story:

Since ancient times, "cutting things into faith" has been a saying A widely circulated credit system.

The Ejunqi Festival unearthed in Shouxian County, Anhui Province is the earliest prototype of a pass in China. The two "car sections" are land passes, each section is 29.6 centimeters long; the three "boat sections" are water passes, each section is 31 centimeters long. Although it is made of bronze, it is still cast in the shape of bamboo sections. Every five pieces can be combined into a complete green "bamboo tube".

"Jie", as a token of trust, has a longer history than "talisman" and "tag". Since the Shang Dynasty, China has had customs inspection agencies. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people had already used "festival" to prove their identity. During the Western Han Dynasty, "Jie" evolved into a long pole decorated with flags. When Su Wu was entrusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to send an envoy to the Huns, he held a "Jie" in his hand. Continuing into the Tang Dynasty, it was necessary to hold a pass issued by the government when traveling long distances. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the pass was called a road photo, and its form was very close to today's passport.

323 BC was the middle and late Warring States period in history. The world is divided into six parts. Among them, Chu State is rich in products, active in commerce, and has very developed transportation. So, is the bronze bamboo section really a favor from King Chu Huai to E Junqi? Not really. A series of strict regulations are added to the gold inscriptions on the festival: there can be no more than 150 cargo ships, no more than 50 vehicles, the cargo route must pass through waterways, the trafficking time is limited to one year, and smuggling is strictly prohibited. Strategic materials such as weapons, bronze and leather. King Chu Huai used the name of "favor" to restrict and control the power of the king, which was common in ancient Chinese society.

Thrilling mystery drama - "Mysterious Tomb"

My spoiler:

In a certain month in 1987, there were continuous heavy rains in Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province. In the Fufeng Famen Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in China, the old abbot with white hair and beard is braving the wind and rain, instructing his disciples to repair the temple walls that are riddled with holes.

"Boom!"

While busy, I suddenly heard a loud noise. The monks followed the sound, and their faces turned pale with fright! Amid the dust rising into the sky, the pagoda enshrining the relics of Buddha Sakyamuni's true body was cracked from its central axis, and half of the brick pagoda had been completely damaged by the heavy rain.

Misfortune comes, and blessings depend on it. In the eyes of the monks, the destruction of the pagoda was a great disrespect for disturbing the Buddha. But for archaeologists, this will be an excellent opportunity to uncover the "shattering mystery" of Famen Temple!

Dharma Gate means "the door that practitioners must enter". Famen Temple is one of the famous ancient temples in China. According to historical records, the pagoda in the temple was originally named Ashoka Pagoda. It is famous for its collection of a finger relic of the Buddha Sakyamuni. During the Tang Dynasty, many emperors came here to worship Buddha's bones, and Famen Temple became famous. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Buddha's finger relics were sealed in the underground palace and disappeared from sight ever since. After more than a thousand years of changes, is everything in the underground palace well preserved? The answer will emerge with the reconstruction of the tower foundation.

After intense and meticulous excavation, the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty, which had been dormant for more than a thousand years, was finally revealed. With the help of light, people's eyes suddenly opened up - what a magnificent and luxurious scene!

I saw the "money pavement" in the underground palace. There were more than 30 kinds of coins and 28,000 coins, covering almost all types of currencies in the Tang Dynasty; , gauze, silk, silk, and countless Buddhist robes and royal costumes made for enshrining relics; the palace is dazzling with gold and silver, and 121 groups of gold and silver objects are exquisite and clear. Each piece is carefully crafted and has a very high level of craftsmanship and Ornamental value. And what is surprising is that the peerless "secret color porcelain" is also in the underground palace...

Let me tell the story:

In the Ceramics Hall of the Palace Museum in Beijing , standing quietly is a beautiful, ice-like and jade-like secret color porcelain - an eight-sided water purification bottle. Compared with the many colored porcelains on the side, it does not have any decoration, but it looks extraordinary and unique. Sanskrit sounds are lingering, and the water purification bottle is like a hibiscus, blooming with beauty alone.

"Secret color" refers to "rare color". Secret color porcelain is the earliest and most exquisite palace porcelain found in the world that has been confirmed by inscriptions. It was exclusively used by the emperor, and the glaze color and production process were kept secret. Lu Guimeng, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once praised it: "The nine-autumn wind and dew bloomed over the kiln, capturing the green color of thousands of peaks." Although he left clues that "the Yue kiln where it was produced is the best celadon," it is a pity that future generations have never seen it with their own eyes. Can infer its beauty in poetry. The 14 pieces of secret-color porcelain unearthed from the underground palace of Famen Temple provide us with precious standard objects - exquisite and dignified shapes, thin and uniform tire walls, and glaze color as clear and green as lake water. At this point, the mystery of secret color porcelain has finally been unveiled.

The underground palace of Famen Temple is composed of a platform, a tunnel, a front room, a middle room, a back room and a secret niche in the back room. It is slightly shaped like "A" and has a total length of 21.12 meters. The large quantity, high quality and complete preservation of the cultural relics at Famen Temple are unique in the archaeological history of the Tang Dynasty. More than a thousand years ago, the extravagant and lustful rulers did not hesitate to use rare treasures to enshrine the Buddha's bones and relics in order to pray for the prosperity of the country and long-term peace and stability. Nowadays, the Buddha's bone relics remain in the world forever, but the Tang Dynasty, which was once prosperous, has long been wiped out.

Passionate male drama--"Underground Corps"

My spoiler:

"How can I say that I have no clothes, and I share the same robe with my son? The king raised an army, Xiu I am armed with a spear and share the same hatred with you!"

After countless craftsmen worked day and night to build it, more than 8,000 soldiers were finally ready to go.

They are an invincible army, black as iron and as fast as wind; they are a group of passionate men, impassioned and majestic. Thousands of troops and horses are just waiting for the King of Qin to give the order, and they will drive their long chariots straight into the bloody battlefield!

Unexpectedly, time passed by minute by minute while waiting. It wasn't until their eyes fell into darkness and their bodies were covered with dust; until the noisy voices gradually calmed down and the crying in their ears gradually became fainter... that they realized that they were isolated from the world. Despite having too much unwillingness and too much loneliness, since they were buried in the dark and silent underground, the terracotta warriors and horses began to silently guard the dream of an emperor. Just like that, year after year.

Finally, a ray of long-lost sunshine shone in. It was accidentally dug out by well diggers, and they saw the sky two thousand years later. When standing among the Qin Terracotta Warriors, people can't help but marvel. Is this really just a bunch of mud men? Every movement and expression they make is lifelike and vivid, as if they can breathe and have a heartbeat in the next second. Some have raised eyebrows and the muscles between their brows are twisted into knots, which seems to have extraordinary courage; some have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their generous lips are pressed into a line, looking honest and simple; some have delicate features and their heads are slightly lowered, There is a shyness and youthfulness...the pottery horses are even more fat and strong, with open noses and neighing, ready to gallop on the battlefield at any time.

Time and space have changed, life and death are vast, and the world has completely changed. Although the Great Qin Dynasty is no longer around, they have inadvertently created a historical legend.

Let me talk about drama:

According to historical records, the first emperor Yingzheng began to build a cemetery since he ascended the throne at the age of 13. The vastness and grandeur of the Qin Mausoleum project set a precedent for the extravagant burials of feudal rulers in the past dynasties. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit of Qin Shi Huang is the burial pit of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. It is located 1,500 meters east of the mausoleum. It can be called the largest "underground military museum" in the world. After excavation by archaeologists, the treasures of Qin terracotta warriors buried underground more than 2,000 years ago were finally revealed. Among them, the figurines of generals, kneeling shooters, lower-level officials and war horses are the representative works of the Qin Terracotta Warriors.

The generals of the Qin Dynasty wore i crowns and fish-scale armor, and were decorated with three flower knots on their chests, behind their backs, and on their shoulders, giving them a majestic general appearance. The kneeling archer figures stand with their bows and arrows drawn, watching the enemy with eager eyes, scrutinizing their every move. His posture reflects the ancient shooting technique of "supporting the left and clumsy right", which coincides with the kneeling shooting posture of today's small-caliber rifles without support. The lower-level officials and warriors in the team were wearing armor and holding weapons, waiting for the general's order to go into battle to kill the enemy.

There are no scenes of fighting or fierce fighting between the two parties, or scenes of troops being repaired or stationed for defense. The ancients skillfully captured the moment when the soldiers of the three armies were getting ready to go, and used clay and gray pottery to create various artistic images.

Classical mythological drama - "The Divine Bird Chases the Sun"

My spoiler:

In the early morning, a red sun bursts out, shining brightly; in the evening , Thousands of sunsets fall down the Western Mountains, filling the sky with glow. The sun brings light to mankind and nurtures the growth of all things.

Legend has it that the sun lives at the far end of the East China Sea. Across the vast sea water, there is an uninhabited secret place called "Yutani". There, there grows a "Fusang" sacred tree - it is the "home" where the sun lives. Every day, the sun rises from the "Fuso" tree in the east and settles on another towering sacred tree "Ruomu" in the west. Rising in the east and setting in the west, the sun keeps running across the sky.

Hovering around the sun are four sacred birds connected end to end, stretching their necks and spreading their wings, walking in the opposite direction. This "magic bird combination" is a good "partner" for the Suns. The ancient Shu people believed that the sun had no ability to fly and had to take "fixed flights" to patrol the sky every day. Then, the pilot of the "flight" is particularly important! Some people say that "the Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east." The sacred bird should be the legendary three-legged "Golden Crow". Some people also say that the divine bird is called "Sunbird", which has the same name as a resident bird in southern China. It is small and nimble, with bright and dazzling feathers. It was revered as the "Sun God" by the ancestors of ancient Shu.

The scorching sun is whirling, the golden crow is flying; the reincarnation of day and night is endless. The divine bird carried the sun and flew into the temples of ancient Shu, flew across the sky of history, and also flew into the hearts of the descendants of China.

Let me tell the story:

The ancients worshiped the sun more enthusiastically than any loyal "fan" of a big star today. However, limited to the scientific level in ancient times, people still could not correctly understand and understand the sun, so they had to mystify it and even regarded the sun as the lord of the gods. The ancient Shu people, who were the first to mine and use gold in the world, left behind a piece of exquisite gold foil decoration of the sun bird, with an inner diameter of 5.29 cm and a thickness of 0.02 cm, which revealed to us the mythical story of the divine bird chasing the sun.

According to this legend, craftsmen used skilled hammering and cutting techniques to turn the sun on the gold foil into a rotating fireball. The fireball emits 12 rays of light at once, proving that the ancient Shu people already knew how to divide the year into 12 months, and had the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In fact, modern science tells us that the true form of the Sun Bird is a "sunspot"! The material inside the sun is constantly moving violently, and sometimes a strong "storm" blows on the surface.

Since the temperature of the "storm" is lower than that of its vicinity, the sun's rays in the "storm" area appear darker, and the shape and duration of the darkness vary. Or a few days, or a few months, or even a year, astronomers call this phenomenon "sunspots". When our ancestors looked up at the sun, they were surprised to find that there was a large black area on the sun for no reason. Upon closer inspection, the dark spot looked like a soaring bird, and the friendship between the sun and the bird spread. The ancients also recorded this event in history books and silk paintings. A silk painting was unearthed from the Mawangdui tomb in the Western Han Dynasty. In the painting, a black three-legged bird stands sideways in the middle of the sun.

Hilarious humor drama - "The Master of Comedy"

My spoiler:

This is a typical Chinese face, with slightly prominent cheekbones. The mouth is large and broad, and the nose is relatively flat.

This is a joyful and contagious smile. His eyes are narrowed into a thin slit like a crescent moon, and deep smile lines are wrinkled on his forehead. He is so happy that even his feet are raised in the air. Mid-air.

This is an ordinary northwest man. Every move he makes is sincere, simple, free and easy.

......

Standing in front of this drumming and rapping artist from the Eastern Han Dynasty, I believe everyone will be happy involuntarily.

Rap and rap performances were very popular in the Han Dynasty, and the most lively and joyful ones were burlesque. The rapper is bare-chested and barefooted in trousers. He holds a small drum in his left arm and raises the drumstick in his right hand to beat the beat. He is performing very hard. The actor's arm is also covered with a string of bone fragments. As the arm shakes vigorously, it makes a pleasant sound of clattering. The rhythm of the beating of bone fragments and the sound of drums complement each other, like a lively "percussion band".

His specialty is much more than that! Exaggerated movements and humorous demeanor are rappers' "secret weapons" to win laughter. I saw him deliberately stretching his neck, holding his chest, inflating his abdomen, raising his legs, making faces, and dancing with all his might, quickly pushing the whole performance to its climax. The enthusiastic audience burst into laughter, and there was joy both on and off the stage... He truly deserves to be a master of comedy!

I talk about drama:

Chinese folk rap art has a long history. From the "actors" of the Han Dynasty, the "legends" of the Tang Dynasty, to the "goulanwasi" of the Song Dynasty, etc., folk music inherits the artistic charm of the Chinese nation. "Biyou", also known as comedy, originated from the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Han Dynasty, it evolved into an "all-in-one" art integrating rap, performance, and dance. The pottery figurines that play drums and sing are the typical images of "actors" in the Han Dynasty.

"Actors" are usually short, short and fat, with looks that make people laugh at just one glance. When the performance begins, they will pick up copper plates and big drums, sing and dance, or play and sing by themselves, performing various hilarious performances, similar to clowns in comedy. Because their families are poor and their status is low, actors and actresses have no choice but to make a living by performing arts. Although they smile and have fun all day long, they may be exhausted inside. This vivid pottery statue takes us back to the real social life of the Han Dynasty.

The figurines play a very important role in the sculptures of the Han Dynasty, with a wide range of themes and rich content. From traveling by carriage and horse to guards and servants, from banquets in the kitchen to singing and dancing, almost everything is included. The pottery figurines of drumming and rapping are classified by experts as "the first figurines of the Han Dynasty" for their vivid and expressive shapes and exaggerated virtual techniques. Although we can no longer hear the content of the rap or feel the beat of the drumming, this enthusiastic and optimistic folk artist has unknowingly passed on joy to every onlooker. Among them, there is you and me.
