Since ancient times, my country has had the custom of respecting the elderly and loving the young. During the reign of Emperor Ming of Han, a banquet was held to entertain the elderly over 70 years old.

After the banquet, Emperor Ming of Han gave each of the old people present a dove stick.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty's Etiquette": "The jade guard is long (nine) feet long, and is decorated with a dove bird. The dove is not choking, and it is a bird that wants the elderly to not choke."

The turtledoak bird does not choke when eating, which means that the elderly eat everything, they will have a good health and longevity.

In addition to this special imperial gift, the copper crossbow machine actually had a very special status in ancient times.

Now is the era of firearms. Once a war occurs, small firearms are all small, and often big things are smashed directly.

However, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the two armies fought, and bows and crossbows were the first priority. It can be seen that crossbows were definitely the first-class and important weapon at that time.

Cultural relics experts unearthed a batch of copper strange objects while conducting protective excavations in the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, Western Han Dynasty.

This thing looks like a freehand pistol, but there were no pistols at that time. Experts then denied the unreliable view.

As the excavation deepened, experts found traces of rotten crossbow bows and casing bow strings in front of this pistol-shaped bronze.

After seeing these traces, the experts realized that this turned out to be the copper crossbow behind the bow and crossbow.

This crossbow is a weapon with strong long-range and lethality, and its structure consists of two parts: the navigator and the body.

The machine parts are made of copper, and the angular box is carved from nanmu, which is rectangular. There are two parallel semicircular firing holes at the lower edge of the front end.

There are three storage grooves in the box, with vertical grooves on both sides, which can store nine branches and horizontal grooves in the middle, which can be placed side by side.

This copper crossbow is well-cast and very exquisite, and has already taken some prototypes of modern weapons.

Unfortunately, every dynasty change in ancient times was a civilization gap, and this weapon was not developed.

Even in the Han Dynasty, the crossbows used in fact had become larger and no longer shrunk.

Modern technology has proved that anything, huge or miniaturized, is high-tech.

In 1964, Sichuan unearthed a copper crossbow machine made in the fourth year of Liu Chanjingyao.

The fourth year of Jingyao is more than twenty years since Zhuge Liang passed away, but the production of this large crossbow is still very precise.

The entire crossbow weighs 267 kilograms, so such a large crossbow can be completed with its feet and then it can be launched.

The records in "Tang Jing's Crossbow" have detailed descriptions.

This book says that there are many crossbows in Shu, and the largest crossbow is the Zhuge crossbow.

This kind of crossbow can fire ten crossbow arrows at one time, called crows, or just one crossbow arrow.

Moreover, only ten of them are launched, and they are all called the mountain-killing crossbow, which is the crossbow made by Kong Ming back then.

However, in ancient times, there were not many dynasties that could support such large-scale industrial manufacturing, and even if they were able to make it, whether they could make it or not is still a question.

Therefore, this copper crossbow, which is extremely similar to a pistol, was eventually lost.

There were many strange things like this in ancient times, such as jade squids.

What is jade slut? The correct answer is that it is the dad of the ring.

In ancient times, to protect the fingers of the archer's bow-tip auxiliary equipment, the hook string auxiliary equipment worn on the right thumb of the archer was the Jade Stick.

The earliest jade slug was unearthed in the tomb of Fu Hao in the Yinxu period in the late Shang Dynasty. When it was unearthed, archaeologists thought that this thing looked like a ring.

However, the rings in the Qing Dynasty were all hollow straight barrel shapes, which were somewhat different from this alien monster.

After checking the classics, the experts finally confirmed that this jade horn is the father of modern and modern ring fingers.

Because there is a shallow groove on this jade horn that can be used to hook strings, and there are obvious signs of use on it.

Such strange ancient artifacts, as well as the earliest steam pots in the world.

In 1976, a strange bronze ware was unearthed from Fu Hao's tomb in Yinxu, Anyang.

This is a pot-shaped container with a hollow column standing in the middle. On the top of the column is a lotus-shaped hole-shaped opening.

Experts also argued endlessly at the time what this was.

Some people say it is a sacrificial item, but some people say it is a edible utensil.

After a protracted debate, it was finally named the steam column retort - meaning a steam pot.

This steam column retort is placed on a hot water basin, and the steam will rise along the porous column to the steamer and steam the food inside.

But some experts also reserved their opinions and believed that this thing should be an alchemy furnace utensil for alchemy refining.

And there are many such weird kitchen utensils, such as copper leakage.

This is a bronze enclosed cylinder with a hole on top, a hole on the bottom, and a lifting beam on the top.

What was this thing used by the ancients? When I first saw it, I would definitely be confused.

The sound of the five nights urges the arrows to dawn, and the nine spring colors are drunk on the fairy peach.

This is "Morning Court with Jia Sheren" written by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. These two lines of poetry describe something, that is, it is even more missed.

It is equivalent to modern people's watches, quartz clocks and timer, but when the following leak was unearthed in the ancient tomb, it really made experts scratch their hair.

Because of this strange thing, the wooden scale rod in the middle, and the water float inside.

Some parts have long been decayed into mud, so it is even more difficult to identify.

Because there are not a few of the important things, this even more missed becomes an incomprehensible monster...

There are many strange things like this, such as the king-patterned copper squid.

A farmer accidentally dug an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period while building a road in FL Xiaotianxi, Sichuan Province.

After hearing the news, the experts rushed to the scene and after excavation, a large number of cultural relics were unearthed.

But when faced with this strange bronze ware, they were at a loss.

This thing has an octagonal handle with an oval cup-shaped body above it.

The front of the cup-shaped bronze ware also carved two characters of the king.

There is also a mysterious Bashu symbol mixed in the middle of the character Wang.

Is this thing a big wine glass? But it seems too heavy when used as a wine glass.

As a container, its bottom cannot stand at all.

After several years of research, experts finally found its name in ancient books - 陈.

The stylus was a percussion instrument from the Warring States Period and was often used in military formations. It has the function of commanding soldiers to advance and retreat in war.

Therefore, the word "Wang" is engraved on the squid to show the importance of its instrument!

Like the snail, although such a strange and rare instrument has been passed down from ancient times, it will not be isolated, such as the tiger button.

This bronze ware is the strangest bronze ware Chen Wenzhe has ever seen.

The strange thing about it is that the bottom of this vessel is open, with a tiger button on it, and the body of the vessel in the middle is full of transparent holes.
