Chapter 1453 Olmec Bronze Statue
"Although it looks like a Chinese, why do you think it is an Yin person?" Cheng Jun couldn't stand Han Peacock's pride, so he wanted to hit him very much.
Han Peacock said: "I have read the Yin people's picture album and know the Yin people's clothing and dressings. Be careful, this is a mural that has been for thousands of years, don't ruin it."
Cheng Jun gave Han Peacock a blank look and said, "It will be destroyed long ago. I can wait until now. I will clean up some for you and you can tell me carefully."
Han Peacock stopped talking and walked in and checked carefully.
The Shang Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and the people of the Yin Dynasty are the so-called survivors of the Shang Dynasty, and are the survivors scattered all over the place after the collapse of the Shang Dynasty.
As we penetrated deeper into the cave, the murals inside were preserved more completely until we saw a mural with many people standing together.
"I seem to have seen this painting, which is very similar to the painting on the Yin Ren album." Han Peacock looked at the characters, clothing, and hair buns on it. He had already confirmed that this was Yin Ren's outfit.
"I only know that they are definitely not Indians, nor Mayans. Just say that in such a short time, why did you determine that these are Yin people who moved to China?"
Han Peacock despised this ignorant guy. It would be fine if he didn't know it, but he dared not believe him?
"The most obvious thing is the bun. You can see this at a glance. You won't know, right?" Han Peacock turned around and despised Cheng Jun.
Cheng Jun smiled and said, "How come I don't know? Even if I don't understand the habits of the ancients and have never watched ancient movies and TV? Is this kind of image known to all Chinese people?"
"Then tell me, what's the difference between the buns among these characters?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
"Uh!" Cheng Jun couldn't say it.
Han Peacock pointed to the buns of those people on the mural and said, "You can't see such obvious details? The reason why these people are Yin people is mainly because most of the hairstyles of the Shang Dynasty were tied with hair, so I won't say much.
Moreover, the Yin people in the Shang Dynasty also had braids and tied hair, which was very similar to the Indians here. Even in modern times, there were Indian tribes dressed like this, and I think you have seen them.
In addition to this, it is a hairpin. Huang Nengfu introduced in "History of Chinese Clothing" that many people in Shang tombs have bone hairpins on the top of their skulls, and single and double hairpins. The number of hairpins is different. The owners of Shang tombs use jade hairpins, and those who are burying their burials use bone hairpins. Most of the nobles, civilians, and slaves in Shang Dynasty had their hair tied up, which is different from the costumes of many ethnic groups."
Looking at the characters on the murals, you can still see that the hairpins they wear are different. Some people have more people and some are good, and the jade and bones are clearly distinguishable at a glance.
"I can see this. The clothes are the same gown. What can this mean?" Cheng Jun asked.
Han Peacock pointed directly at the clothes of those people on the mural and said, "The merchants are also Yin people. Both the superiors and inferiors and men and women use the upper and lower parts of the shape, wearing clothes on top and lower parts. Later generations called clothing "clothes". This is from this.
The waist and sleeves of the clothing are basically designed in a tight style, with knee-length lengths. They are easy to move. The ancient Chinese people's tops and bottoms and right-sided dresses were formed in the Shang Dynasty."
"I know this. Are these nobles here?" Cheng Jun asked, pointing to a few of the people.
Han Peacock said: "It's so obvious that they are all saluting these people. Of course they are nobles, and they can be better identified through clothing. Although the basic forms of clothing of various classes are converging, they actually have a very strict hierarchy.
The more advanced dyed fabrics, embroidery and decorations are all enjoyed by the slave owner class, while the lower class can only wear linen and knives made of similar knots as linens.
According to research, high-ranking powerful people usually wear short clothes on the upper body, cross-collar and right lapel, long clothes on the buttocks, long sleeves on the wrists, narrow cuffs on the lower body, short skirts with pleated waists, broadbands on the waist, and pointed shoes on the feet.
Look, these people bow their waists and salute, and they must be facing the nobles. Is his clothes the same as what I said? Short clothes, cross-collar, long clothes, long sleeves and wrists, narrow cuffs, short skirts with pleated waists, broadbands around their waists, and pointed shoes on their feet.
The women on this side must also be nobles. Among the nobles of the Yin people, they wore ankle-length coats, crossed collars, long sleeves, wide belts and knees around their waists, and large scarves covering their knees in front of the clothes to cover the knee pads. The knees are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the feet are worn, and the head is round hoop-shaped crown rolls.
In addition to the shape, the strict hierarchy of clothing is also reflected in the use of colors. You see, the aristocratic dresses and tops mostly use pure colors such as blue, red, and yellow, while the lower clothes are mostly colored, such as black, ochre, and green, which have been dyed several times, and there are borders on the collar and sleeves. In daily homes, white clothes, green clothes and black clothes are often worn.
The clothes of ordinary people are not so colorful. When it comes to clothing culture, not only clothes but also accessories, but clothing and accessories usually appear in combination. It can be seen from the image of jade people unearthed from the Yin Dynasty that men and women aristocrats in the Yin Dynasty also had the habit of wearing jade. The rulers even formulated a complete set of jade pendants to distinguish classes and hierarchies.
The form of a merchant's jade pendant is usually carved into various small animals. The most common one is a kind of jade fish. The mural is preserved very well. Not only is it bright in color, but even the wrinkles on the characters can be seen clearly. The ornament here is a jade fish jade pendant.
Such hierarchical concepts are also found in other nations, but they are definitely not as perfect and regular as the Yin people. The Yin people's clothing can have such hierarchical differences, which are closely linked to the prosperity and technological progress of the primitive economy at that time. It is precisely because the economy at that time had a certain development that it was possible to provide society with a lot of clothing materials.
Only when the ruling class chooses the best and gives them to the poor can the poor be classified according to the texture, color and pattern of clothing materials. This laid a certain foundation for the hierarchy of the descendants and formally established the system of uniforms in later generations."
"So, this must be an image of Yin people?" Cheng Jun said.
Han Peacock shook his head directly and said, "This requires further identification, mainly to identify the age of these strokes being made, and some cultural relics will be unearthed here. If you can encounter bronzes with typical Shang Dynasty styles, it will be easy."
"Bronze ware? We searched carefully, hoping that the Su people who once lived here did not cause any damage." Cheng Jun slowly wandered around, wanting to discover something again.
After a tour, the cave was not big, at most ten meters long, and the murals on the cave walls on both sides occupied a large part of the space.
"There is such a large mural here, and this cave should be very big, it cannot be so small." Han Peacock released his spiritual consciousness and carefully investigated the surrounding situation.
"There are signs of collapse here, but unfortunately we can't dig it out." Although it was discovered immediately, Han Peacock was very disappointed.
This cave collapsed very badly, and almost all the caves inside were blocked. If you want to excavate, you have to clean up all the earth and stones inside. Now Han Peacock and Cheng Jun obviously cannot do it.
"Forget it, if you have time, please send someone to discover it again! We'll search here, and we'll withdraw if there's no benefit." After a walk around, no discovery was found, Cheng Jun was no longer interested.
Han Peacock ignored him and could not be excavated here. He still needed to carefully check the caves in which other Indians lived.
Although the caves here are large, they are definitely not where the leader should live. The place where the leader lives is naturally the most central or highest place.
Han Peacock walked directly to the top cave. Sure enough, this cave is very spacious and has better lighting due to its higher location.
Such a place is naturally not something that ordinary people live in, but at least it is a place for discussion.
Cheng Jun followed Han Peacock to climb up. Just as Han Peacock was watching the cave wall outside, Cheng Jun ran into it.
Sure enough, the chance of finding the treasure inside was greater. Soon, Cheng Jun shouted loudly: "Han Peacock, come and take a look. It seems that there are bronzes and statues of gods here, but they are stones. This is their sacrificial place, and there should be a big discovery."
Han Peacock walked around carefully outside and found nothing before entering the innermost part. Sure enough, there was a huge altar inside, with some stone statues on both sides of the passage, and a tall bronze statue in the middle.
"Bronze statue of Olmek?" Han Peacock recognized this portrait at a glance because a similar avatar was found in South America, but it was just an avatar, and here was a complete portrait.
Cheng Jun said in surprise: "Bronze statue of Olmek? Do you know this bronze statue?"
Although I have known that Han Peacock is knowledgeable and talented, isn’t that so erudite?
It was a surprise to see the origin of this bronze statue at a glance.
Han Peacock waved his hand and said, "This is not important, after all, it's just a bit like us Chinese. The Shang Dynasty was in China's Bronze Age, and bronze man's heads were unearthed in Mexico, and their appearance is very similar to this bronze statue."
"What is so important?" Cheng Jun rolled his eyes and asked.
Han Peacock pointed to the wall behind the bronze statue and said, "Didn't you see the phoenix pattern behind it? This is the most important thing. I think the one they admire most should be this phoenix."
"The dark behind you can see the murals above? Why didn't I see the so-called phoenix bird?" Cheng Jun couldn't help asking.
Han Peacock laughed and said, "That's not a mural, it should be a statue, a statue carved on the stone wall behind it. Therefore, the phoenix should be the god they worship. There is also a nation in our country that worships phoenixes."
"Yin Ren?" Cheng Jun asked. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
