In the long history and culture of China from ancient times to the present, although the dynasties changed, the cultural relics belonging to each dynasty can be preserved with the passage of time. If a cultural relic can talk, it will tell you the story behind it. The cultural relics described today have a long history, exquisite craftsmanship and special technology, which can show us the wisdom of the ancients of that era.

Henan is a very important province in China. Rich in resources and developing rapidly, many dynasties built their capitals in Henan in history. It is precisely because of this long history that countless cultural relics have been found here. 1977 Henan has experienced a long period of drought, and the water level in many places has begun to decline and is on the verge of drying up because of long-term non-rainfall. One of the reservoirs collapsed due to the rapid drop of water level in the dry reservoir.

After the collapse, the ground was only dark, but a huge black hole was smashed in one place. The local reservoir manager did not dare to make a move, so he reflected this situation to the commune leaders, who also noticed the difference and reported it to the relevant cultural relics departments to let them see if it was an ancient site. After receiving the news, the Cultural Relics Museum immediately sent relevant staff to the site for inspection. After several investigations, it is determined that what is hidden under this reservoir is actually an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period with a history of 2,500 years. This news made relevant personnel feel every cloud has a silver lining. I didn't expect such a long drought to make an ancient tomb surface.

After confirming that this is an ancient tomb, the cultural relics department sent many staff to study and repair it. There are 24 coffins in this ancient tomb, which is a relatively large tomb. At the same time, a large number of exquisite bronzes were unearthed. This is also in line with the age of the tomb. During the Zhou Dynasty, the production techniques of bronzes were exquisite, but due to years of war and destruction of mountains and rivers, these techniques were not handed down. Therefore, the research value behind getting a beautiful bronze ware is immeasurable. Among these exquisite treasures, one cultural relic stands out, which is not only larger than other unearthed cultural relics, but also the best in exquisiteness, which makes many experts on field trips shout: I finally found you.

The name of this cultural relic is moire bronze ban. Because of its high value and exquisite production, it has been kept as the treasure of the town hall in Henan Provincial Museum. The shape of the body presents a rectangular structure, which is cast by lost wax method, giving people a very simple and dignified feeling. Just above the cultural relic cuboid, 12 monsters similar to dragons are carved, which shows people's belief and reverence for dragons at that time. And below is 12 Tiger Monster, with the same layout as above. Exquisite carving patterns are vividly displayed on the cultural relics.

Although it looks like a cuboid with exquisite patterns carved on it, as long as you look carefully, you will know the exquisite idea of moire copper plate. The periphery of the moire copper plate is decorated with multi-layer through-carving moire, which shows the feeling of flowing clouds. Because moire is carved through, as long as you look carefully, you will know that there are still many mysteries here. Below this moire, there are exquisite patterns made of copper stalks, and the thickness of copper stalks varies, so the effect is also very eye-catching. Moreover, the copper stalks in the copper ban have different uses, so their shapes are different. The overall exquisite modeling and decoration complement each other, and the exquisiteness is just right. What's more, moire copper prohibits domineering style, which can be called the existence of fate in cultural relics.

Although science and technology are very developed now, many things can be made, but it is difficult to make a second one for such a beautiful moire copper plate, so many people have also given the evaluation that moire copper plate is an inter-generational cultural relic.

summary

The value of cultural relics is endowed by people. The more history it can show, the more valuable it is. It is precisely because of this that the most important thing for us now is to protect these cultural relics, so as to better protect and protect history. Let us consciously fulfill our responsibility of protecting cultural relics. When traveling, don't destroy historical relics that have existed for many years for a moment, and don't scribble on them. This behavior is not only shameful, but also casts dust on the history represented by the destroyed cultural relics.
