The styles of the video in the photos are different. There is a flat bottom of the double ear, narrow edge of the mouth, straight neck, shoulders, animal ear rings, slightly bulging abdomen, and flat bottom.

There is also a four-ear flat bottom type with a wide mouth edge, a bulging belly, a flat bottom, and two pairs of animal heads.

The other one is also a four-ear ring foot style, with a narrow edge of the mouth, a shoulder, and two pairs of animal heads and ears, one of which holds a ring.

A pair that does not hold a ring is purely decorated, with a round belly and a short ring foot under it, which is smaller.

The last one is a square four-ear ring foot style, a square mouth is tied to the neck, a round belly is closed, four ears are dragon-shaped, and a short square ring foot.

Among these four bronze magazines, among these groups of bronze ware, can only be considered to be average and not particularly out of order.

Chen Wenzhe flipped through the photos and soon discovered a multi-purpose bronze ware, which was a bronze ware.

This thing is a multi-purpose tool that can bring considerable convenience to people's lives, and this idea and tool has existed in ancient my country.

This bronze sculptor from the Warring States Period is an example. It can not only cool fine wine, but also heat it up.

One such bronze sculpt was unearthed in the tomb of Zeng Houyi in 1978.

The piece is 632 cm tall and is now in the National Museum.

The piece in front of you is also a combination device, which is made of bronze magazines and bronze cords, which some people call a pot set.

This bronze figure is square, with a length and width of 76 cm, which is huge.

The decoration of its rim is particularly eye-catching.

The accessories at the four corners are curved and the accessories at the middle of each side are rectangular.

These 8 ornaments are covered with carved and floating coiled dragon patterns.

They are as thin as velvet threads, entangled with each other, so dense that you can't count them, but they are arranged in an orderly manner and have a realistic shape.

Both of his small eyes were bright and full of spirit.

In addition to the floating and withered cloud patterns and coiled dragon patterns on the outer wall of the body, there are also 8 dragon-shaped earrings.

Their bows upwards and slumps, which is very vivid.

Each of the four corners at the bottom of the body has an animal-shaped foot.

Although the little beast was not big, he squatted on the ground, raised his front legs, and lifted his bronze clerk steadily.

He also made a playful smile, looking very energetic.

The copper cork is also square, with a cover at the top and a circle of square feet at the bottom, with eye holes on the square feet.

Regarding the function of the hole, there is a curved hook at the bottom of the square foot eyelet corresponding to the square foot eyelet of the wall, which is inserted into the eyelet of the wall foot, thereby preventing the copper sleeve from floating or falling.

What's even better is that there is a hook that is also equipped with a barb. After it is inserted into the eye hole of the crotch, the barb will fall down automatically, and the copper crotch will stand firmer.

The copper clerk has a beautiful square lid decorated with hollow patterns. There is a large square hole in the middle of the lid just covering the edge of the square lid. The assembly method of this thermos bottle today is quite similar.

If you take off the square cover of the bronze clerk and look down at this set of clerks, you will see that it is shaped like a reply.

In the middle, there is a large space between the outer wall of the wall and the inner wall of the mirror. It is this space that makes it have the dual functions of ice and heating.

In the hot summer season, drinks are placed in the pot and ice cubes are placed in the space, so people can enjoy cold and delicious drinks.

Qu Yuan’s poem “Drink frozen and cooler” in Chu Ci, expresses the feeling of frozen sweet wine and drinking it with a full cup of cold and cooler.

According to the effect of copper-censoring and freezing, modern archaeologists studied the copper-censored by Zeng Houyi and believed that this was an ancient "refrigerator" in my country, and it was the earliest refrigerator seen so far.

If it is the middle of winter, it is naturally not difficult for people to drink some hot drinks.

Just inject hot water into the space and the drinks in the pot can heat up.

I wonder if you have thought of this: whether it is the melting of ice or the injected hot water, it will produce a certain amount of buoyancy, which will affect the stability of the foil.

The craftsmen of the past must have noticed this problem. The hook device mentioned above made buoyancy no longer a problem, and the intelligence and wisdom of the ancients can also be seen from this.

It has been a long time since my country used natural frozen fresh foods. In the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, there was an ice storage.

It is also equipped with special officials who manage the ice warehouse, called "Lingren".

Every winter, people chisel the ice in the river into large pieces of ice, put it into the cellar, and seal it up.

During this process, you must avoid air entering, and this ice can be preserved until hot summer.

This method has remained unchanged. Five ice cellars were set up in the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty, hiding nearly 30,000 ice.

Many elderly people born in God live near Longxugou described by Mr. Lao She, the work scene where workers can be seen digging ice in the goldfish pond every winter.

"Huh? This one is really similar to the Fuchaijian, King of Wu!"

Obviously, the person who took the photo was knowledgeable. At least he had classified the same type of bronze ware together.

So, now Chen Wenzhe saw another bronze magazine that looked very similar to the Wu King Fuchai Jian, pattern and shape.

It is obvious that this bronze magazine was not from the Warring States Period, but from the late Spring and Autumn Period.

This instrument is shaped like a large cylinder with a flat bottom.

There are dragon-headed beast ears on both sides of the abdomen, and there is a small dragon climbing the mouth of the vessel next to the edge of the ears, which is like a water exploration.

The whole body is decorated with dense dragon patterns for three sides, and there are two lines of thirteen characters in the inner wall of the vessel, which records that a nobleman used bronze as this reference, which was an imperial object in the palace.

Unfortunately, Chen Wenzhe's attainment in bronze inscriptions was still a little bit short. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was the imperial object.

Besides, the inscriptions on the photos are too small and it looks quite difficult, so Chen Wenzhe was not in a hurry to study them.

Continuing to look through the photos, Chen Wenzhe was really moved.

This is really a group of ancient tombs of a large family of kings and princes, all of which were overturned.

Otherwise, it would be impossible that so many bronze specimens could be unearthed just from ancient times.

The previous ones are fine, but the next few photos allow Chen Wenzhe to confirm the luxurious life of the ancients.

Until ancient copper has the same status as the current gold.

In ancient times, kings and princes took a bath in a bathtub made of gold, looked in the mirror, and even washed their faces.

For example, the four-ring without inscription in front of you is the shape of the things from the Warring States Period. It is probably the "bath basin" of that time.

And this is more than just one bronze magazine, and it is often matched.

For example, the bronze square censor is for men, and the bronze round censor is for women.

This should be the "couple and wife review" of Chu State in the late Warring States Period.

This couple's video also revealed another purpose of the bronze video, which is to use the combination of video and vase as an ice wine utensil or a wine warmer, called "vase".

The "Wu King Guangjian" and "Cai Hou Shen Fangjian" used as dowry are also a combination of round and square.

Perhaps, in Wu and Chu, Fang Jian's rank was slightly higher than Yuan Jian's rank, showing the hierarchy idea of ​​men being superior to women at that time.

In addition to this is a husband-and-wife function, there is also a "father-son video", which can be said to be impossible for us modern people, but not the ancients.
