Chen Wenzhe looked at this batch of jade wares in a general way, and there were actually quite a few jade wares with Chilong pattern.

"Chi is one of the nine sons of a dragon", "no horns are called Chi".

The dragon pattern appeared in the jade withered works originated from the Spring and Autumn Period, was extensive in the Warring States Period, and flourished in the Han Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the shape of the Chi was characterized by its length, curling and upright, full of vitality.

The Chi body has two feet, three feet, and four feet, and the tail decoration is tied with silk patterns.

There are two types of dragon heads, one is round and the other is long and has ears, and the mouth and nose are narrow.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the shape of the Chi pattern changed a lot, with a beast-like body, a well-melted limbs and strong elbows.

The head of the dragon is like a tiger, with a short kiss on the side, a slender tail, and a few silk patterns to decorate it. It is more fierce, more agile and more tension in the image, so it is also commonly called the dragon tiger.

In addition to the Chi-patterned plum blossom cup and jade dragon, there is also a Chi-patterned wash.

Judging from the shape and shape of the instrument, they are all things from the Ming Dynasty.

This jade piece has a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm.

It is also made of Hetian white jade. It looks delicate and firm in the jade and polished finely. Such jadeware is difficult to obtain by the people.

I picked it up and looked carefully, and I immediately felt extremely warm and contained in the treasure light.

This tool is ingeniously designed and exquisitely crafted, and is actually a fine product of jade withered in the Ming Dynasty.

If you don’t look at anything else, just look at the body of the instrument and you will have five dragons withered, climbing on top of the body.

The dragon has a square head, a bamboo ear, a striking eyes, a wide open body, a strong limbs, and lifelike life.

The inside is clean and clean, and there is brown stains on the cracks.

Needless to say, this jade wash must have been dug out of the tomb, otherwise it would not have been stained.

If you look carefully at these jade artifacts, especially the Chi pattern on them, this thing has some characteristics from the Han Dynasty, which are obviously like ancient artifacts.

The shape of the Chi pattern in the Han Dynasty was basically short and wide (aspect), with eyes located in front, cheeks retracted, the lower half of the face narrowed, and the corners of the eyes to the mouth were shaped like a tenon.

There were many types of Chi patterns in the Han Dynasty. Based on their basic shapes, some scholars divided them into seven categories.

One type, the tiger has a prominent face, square ears, no horns, and a tied silk pattern with tail decorations.

Class II, aspect, square ears and angular.

Three categories: tiger face, no horns, and drooping ears.

Four categories: horns and drooping ears.

Five categories: round ears are made by slum-making technology.

Six categories, wings appear on the body of the dragon.

Seven categories: mother and son Chi are opposite each other, and the big Chi is staring at the small Chi, which can also be called mother Chi to teach children.

These Chi-patterned jade wares here are of all kinds, and they are all high-quality products.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe could hold it in his hand, which was a jade slutch with a dragon pattern.

The pronunciation of shi is shè, which is actually a ring.

A fingertip is an archery tool that is worn on the thumb.

There is a groove directly below, which is used to hold the bow string to pull the arrow. Its function is to prevent the rapid pullback of the bow string from scratching the fingers when shooting the arrow.

Because its function is similar to a trigger, it is also called a "machine".

The predecessor of the ring is called Shizhang. It was used very early. The earliest items found with the function and appearance of the ring are unearthed from the tomb of Fu Hao of the Shang Dynasty.

The piece in Chen Wenzhe's hand is 4.8 cm long, 4.4 cm wide, 1.7 cm hole diameter and 1.8 cm thick.

Jade is yellow-white, and locally bleached.

The main body of the ornament is in a shackle shape, with a dragon climbing upwards on one side.

The dragon head wraps around the back of the ornament and extends to the upper right side;

Chi's torso and another hind limb were hidden on the back of the ornament, as if passing through the clouds, looming;

The surface of the penis is decorated with a single negative line and the cloud-like pattern is withered.

The combination of flat and vertical lines is clear, perfectly setting off the dynamic beauty of Chi and is more artistically appealing.

The Han Dynasty's Chi pattern was mostly decorated on sword decorations, including two types: shallow and floating, high and high. The design is ingenious and exquisite withering.

In addition, it is decorated in large quantities on the chicken heart, on the outlined jade, on daily utensils, and on the hook seal.

These jade artifacts all show nobility and become the most commonly used patterns besides dragons and phoenixes.

After the Han Dynasty, the Chi pattern was the main decoration for jade used in the palace and jade used in the folk, but none of them were as glorious as the Han Dynasty.

Chi's figure, expression, and claws no longer have the strength of the Han Dynasty, and it only serves as decoration.

Therefore, jade wares from the Han Dynasty, or jade wares from the imitation of the Han Dynasty, are still easy to identify.

For example, another piece of jade is not imitated by Han jade at first glance.

"Huh? This one is actually a real antique? Is this the dragon pattern jade from the Warring States Period?"

He picked up a jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He had found a dragon and phoenix jade pendant in the Warring States Period before, so he was not unfamiliar with this thing.

He held it in his hand and looked carefully. Soon, Chen Wenzhe recognized it. This was a jade pendant with a dragon and tiger eating man-eating pattern from the Warring States Period.

It is 3.8 cm high, 6.2 cm wide, and 0.4 cm thick.

The jade is blue in color, with white mist-like embroidery, and the cinnabar marks on the surface of the vessel are left, and both sides wither.

A dragon and tiger are carved in the middle of the vessel, and the body is curled into a ring shape.

A naked woman bites her right claw and grabs the man's arm with her right claw and the left claw with her left leg.

Two gods with flying wings were scattered on both sides of their bodies, with a peaceful expression and feathered wings on their shoulders.

The design is weird, exquisitely engraved, very mysterious and intimidating.

In the Shang Dynasty, Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, such artistic expressions were very common.

Like a tiger-eating man-made ware, it is a national treasure-level bronze ware, and it is a bronze wine ware. It is something from the late Shang Dynasty.

Such a bronze ware is relatively large. This tiger-eating man-like body is 35.7 cm tall and weighs 5.09 kg.

The shape is like a tiger embracing each other, and the intention is also very unique.

The tiger on this bronze ware has the feet and tail supporting the body, and at the same time forms the three legs of the sacred ones.

The tiger holds a person with his front paws, and the person squats on the tiger's chest.

A pair of barefoots stepped on the tiger's claws, stretched their hands towards the tiger's shoulders, and the tiger wanted to open its mouth to eat the human head.

The tiger shoulder is attached to the end of the beam, and there are animal heads at both ends. The beam is decorated with long-shaped patterns and is backed by thunder patterns.

The upper part of the tiger's back is an oval mouth with a cover, and a deer stands on it. The cover is decorated with a curly tail pattern, and it is also a thunder pattern substrate, which is consistent with the body of the instrument.

Swallow

The tiger's ears are raised and its teeth are very sharp.

Like many bronze ware unearthed in the late Shang Dynasty, it has complex patterns and uses humans and animals as the theme, expressing strange ideas.

Obviously, the jade artifact that Chen Wenzhe discovered was the same thing.

This kind of artistic expression is still very interesting.

The main reason is its decorative function, we modern people have analyzed many views.

There are five main types of mainstream understanding.

1. It shows the ruler's tyranny and cruelty, and uses this to intimidate slaves. Tigers are symbols of the slave owner class, and people are representatives of slaves.

2. The relationship between humans and animals is regarded as the communication between humans and the world with the help of animals.

3. It symbolizes the unity of human self and divine animals in order to obtain animal protection.

4. Tiger eats people actually reflects the myth of "tiger eats ghosts", that is, the powerful tiger drives to expel evil ghosts and avoid evil.

5. The tiger represents nature and symbolizes human fear of nature, but it must also be attached to nature and expresses the weakness of human nature.
