The bronze hand was found on the left calf of the tomb owner, and this purpose has been supported by everyone.

Then there is sacrificial supplies, so there is nothing to say.

On major festivals, the emperor will hold a sacrificial ceremony, and relevant officials will prepare corresponding items in advance.

Judging from the appearance of the cultural relics, it should be a sacrificial item in the hands of a wizard.

It mainly appears in major sacrificial occasions, and it is precisely because of this that the nobles make it a funeral object.

The last view is a bronze shapeware, which is usually used in conjunction with a bronze tripod, and its purpose is to "snatch meat".

The ancients were very smart. They would invent many unexpected daily necessities and transform the original utensils.

This statement is the most reliable. The bronze hand with a unique shape should be just a tool to catch meat.

The above five uses are all guesses. If you want to determine what it is, you can only look at the future.

With the development of archaeological work, more cultural relics will be discovered, and the mystery of the use of bronze hands will be solved.

Just like some daily necessities discovered by ancient people before, it is hard for us modern people to imagine.

However, from later discoveries, such as murals and classics, you can see some consistent records, so that the purpose of an item can be determined.

There were many things like this that didn’t know their purpose in ancient times, such as bronze wheel-shaped instruments.

This thing belongs to Shang, was unearthed from Sanxingdui, with a diameter of 85 cm.

Although it looks a bit like a steering wheel, it's not.

What exactly is the Sanxingdui wheel shape device used for? When I first discovered it, I thought it was a carriage device, but later I looked closely and found that it was not a wheel.

Afterwards, it was named "wheel instrument" based on its appearance.

There are 5 eye holes distributed at equal intervals at the edge of the wheel shaper, and there is also an eye hole in the center.

Therefore, the wheel-shaped instrument should be used in conjunction with something, perhaps hanging on a bronze tree, or in combination with the bronze Daliren.

Unfortunately, most of the Sanxingdui utensils were smashed when buried in the pit, so the distribution of the utensils was relatively chaotic.

Therefore, there is no way to restore the objects nearby, and there is no similar image for reference.

Many experts speculate that wheel shapes may be related to sun worship.

The sixth strange thing is the pictorial, something from the late Shang Dynasty, which is now hidden in the National Museum.

Although it looks a bit fake, it is a real national treasure!

After identification by many experts, it was confirmed that this was a bronze ware from the late Shang Dynasty.

The preciousness of this bronze ware lies not only in its unique shape, but also in the 32-character inscription on the back of the turtle.

The inscription records the deeds of a Shang king who shot a turtle in the Huanshui River.

The Shang king shot four arrows in a row at the turtle found by the river, and the arrows shot on the body of the turtle. This bronze ware was done to record this deed.

It is said that it was obtained by an old farmer from Nanhe River while fishing by the river, and was later collected by the National Museum.

Because of informal excavation, there are still many doubts about this bronze ware.

The image of this thing is that there are four arrows inserted on the back of a turtle.

It is said that the turtle is inaccurate, it should be a turtle. It is crawling, with its head exposed, its four legs exposed, its tail tilted to the left, its left shoulder, and its dorsal armor is embedded in 4 arrows.

The inscription on the back cast of the turtle is 4 lines and 33 characters, which describes the King of Shang who traveled to the Huan River on Bingshen day and shot the turtle.

The King of Shang shot 1 arrow, and the King of Shang shot 3 arrows. All of them hit, and the King of Shang gave the turtle he had shot to the King of Shang.

The inscription is recorded in line with the image taken in this instrument.

In the early Shang Dynasty, inscriptions began to be cast on a few bronze ware, with fewer characters.

By the late Shang Dynasty, the number of bronzes with inscriptions increased significantly.

It was not until the end of the Shang Dynasty that long inscriptions with dozens of words appeared.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was the heyday of bronze inscriptions. Inscriptions with more than 100 words are quite common, and there are many examples of more than 200 or 300 words.

Bronze inscriptions are also called "golden inscriptions" and "bell and tripod inscriptions". They basically maintain the form of writing in the brush and are the regular texts at that time.

It is also because most of them have written words that bronze ware becomes the real national treasure of our country, because it is inheriting civilization.

What is more important than this one is definitely the lunch box.

Chen Wenzhe had bought a Sui Gongbao before, but he didn't know if the one hidden in Poly was real.

Sui Gong said: "I must be true too!"

You think it's just a "lunch box", but in fact it's really a bronze lunch box.

"王" is pronounced as "Xu", and was used to fill rice such as millet, sorghum, rice, and so on in ancient times.

The valuable thing about this bronze lunch box is that its inscriptions have 98 characters on the pen, which records the contents of Dayu's flood control and governance and virtue. The style is similar to "Shangshu Yu Gong" and can be verified by mutual proof.

This bronze pendant is the earliest documentary record of Dayu's flood control, and it is of great significance.

The eighth piece is the cloud-patterned copper five-pillar instrument, which was very similar to a modern router in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty.

Such a tool is still an isolated product at present, and its image is not found in any historical materials.

There are many different opinions on the use of this cloud-patterned copper five-pillar instrument. Currently, there are several statements such as incense instruments, musical instruments, and prayer instruments.

The ninth strange thing is the bronze caliper, needless to say it was something from the Wang Mang period.

It is one of the truly suspected cultural relics of "time travel".

It is a prototype of a modern vernier caliper, which can measure length, outer diameter and depth.

Scholars estimate that the longest length it can measure is almost one foot from the Han Dynasty.

The last type is the bronze galloping horse, something from the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The bronze galloping horse was out of the circle because of the "horse stepping on the flying swallow", but because of the controversy about the things trampled under the horse's hooves, it was named "Bronze galloping horse" out of a rigorous attitude.

A netizen once asked, why does the national treasure "horse step on the flying swallow" never take a frontal photo?

I believe that the netizens who asked the question must have never seen the actual item of the bronze galloping horse.

As long as you see the bronze galloping horse's original, you will know how funny the front of the bronze galloping horse is.

What's more, only by looking from the side of the bronze galloping horse can you see the "turning" situation of the horse's legs.

This is also the wonderful thing about the bronze galloping horse, but it turns out that many people don’t know about this.

At the end, Chen Wenzhe saw another series of strange bronzes.

This family is about curiosity, so there are really many ancient bronze ware he imitated, and few people know about it.

Some bronzes are really weird, and the last one is so weird that you don’t believe in your own eyes!

As we all know, among the tombs of many emperors and princes, there are many important weapons such as the Owl, the Four Sheep Square, and the Big Yu Ding.

However, in addition to these well-known national treasures, a large number of strange and strange tools that are unknown for use have been unearthed from those ancient tombs.

Some of these weird vessels can make you think about it, some will only know the purpose after you hurt your head, and some will not know what it is for.

For example, in 1958, two chicken heads were unearthed from Han tombs in Chang'an.

The cultural relics experts at that time did not take them seriously, but later, when sorting out cultural relics, they found that these two things were extraordinary.

They are not called chicken heads, but should be called Jiuzhao Heads.
