Unfortunately, the bronze dragon in front of me is not genuine. Chen Wenzhe cannot see the scene of the repair at that time, otherwise the harvest will be greater.

Even so, Chen Wenzhe was able to infer the general appearance of the bronze ware at that time through the imitations in front of him.

He knew that when he found them, they were a pile of tightly wrapped bronze pieces.

When there are a lot of copper rust mottled copper blocks, a total of 8 pieces, weighing 92.5 kilograms.

After the Chang'an Municipal Public Security Bureau handed over 8 pieces of bronze dragons from the Qin Dynasty to the Xishan History Museum, it was only after repeated research by experts on cultural relics restoration and careful combing that it was discovered that this was an amazing heavy bronze artifact of the Qin Dynasty.

The residual parts of No. 1 and No. 2 are bonded to become faucets;

No. 4 and No. 5 residual parts are bonded to form a whole, with a length of 83 cm, a width of 20.1 cm, and a wall thickness of 0.4 cm to 0.6 cm.

It can be seen from this that the dragon bodies are cast and welded separately. They are interspersed with the residual dragon bodies of No. 3, forming a double dragon that is wrapped around the coil.

The residual part No. 8 is a dragon tail, which is intertwined by four dragon tails, which are hollow cones with a bottom diameter of 32 cm, a diameter of 19 cm, and a height of 28 cm.

Experts judged that the Bronze Dragon of Panzang should be a pair, but unfortunately, the rest of the pieces are unknown.

Compared with the original model, the repaired part is definitely far from that.

However, because of tomb robbery, the real prototype is no longer known what it looks like.

Now we can only think that he is the base of a musical instrument.

Therefore, the three-legged frog bronze drum was placed behind it and not on it, and I don’t know if it is right to do so.

Bypassing these two majestic blue dragons, besides the Lingshan three-legged frog bronze drum, there is a large round tripod.

Seeing this round tripod, Chen Wenzhe immediately laughed.

These things are all related. Although they are not supporting things, they can all be related.

"Is this Zilong Ding?"

You should know that the earliest character "Dragon" comes from this tripod.

"Awesome, I actually recognized it at a glance."

Li Jinli has to admire Chen Wenzhe. He is really amazing in identifying cultural relics.

Shangzi Long Ding, a bronze round tripod from the late Shang Dynasty, is a national first-class cultural relic. It is named after the inscription "Zilong" cast near the edge of the inner wall of the vessel.

The Zilong Ding was unearthed in Hui County, Nanhe County in the 1920s. Later, neon lights flowed into it and then moved to Xiangjiang.

In April 2006, it was collected by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and returned to China and is now in the China National Museum.

Shangzilong Dingtong is 103 cm high, 37 cm wide, and 43 cm deep.

It preserves the complete quality, majestic shape, full body, and huge body.

This round tripod is the largest of all the bronze round tripods of the Shang Dynasty discovered, and it is also the earliest bronze ware known to have the word "dragon".

The Shangzi Dragon Ding is a national first-class cultural relic, and it is named after the inscription "Zilong" cast at the edge of the inner wall of the vessel.

The ears 22 cm taller than the cauldron add majestic momentum to the entire cauldron.

The animal face patterns on the neck and three-legged ones are majestic and solemn, showing superb bronze casting technology.

As a treasure among the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty in my country, the Zilong tripod and the largest square tripod, the Simuwu tripod, complement each other to form a bright light.

They are round and square, and they can be regarded as the peerless two gems among the national bronze treasures.

In August 2013, Zilongding was included in the "Third Batch of Cultural Relics forbidden to Go Abroad" by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

Based on the data obtained, experts speculate that the Zilong Ding is likely to be unearthed in Hui County, Nanhe Province, my country.

Because Huixian is located in the Central Plains, it was once the seat of the royal family in the ancient Shang Dynasty.

A large number of cultural relics from the Shang and Zhou dynasties were unearthed in this place, and they are an important site in the Bronze Age of Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In the 1930s, my country was worried about foreign troubles at home and a Neon Company named "Yanaka Co., Ltd." specialized in cultural relics sales in my country.

Shortly after the Zilong Ding was unearthed, it was resold to Neon by Yamaaka Corporation and has never appeared since then.

In June 2004, Neon Osaka held a private cultural relics collection exhibition.

Most of the collections exhibited at that time were precious cultural relics from our country, including Zilong Ding.

my country's bronze experts Ma Chengyuan and Chen Peifen rushed to Neon and checked the Zilong Ding.

At the end of 2005, Zilong Ding was purchased by a Xiangjiang cultural relics collector and arrived in Hong Kong.

In December 2005 and January 2006, experts from my country's National Cultural Relics Information Consulting Center rushed to Xiangjiang.

They conducted physical identification of Zilong Ding and solicited opinions from all professional members of the Bronze Professional Group of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee.

Experts unanimously believe that the Zilong Ding is a rare bronze heavy object.

Therefore, Zilongding has entered the "National Key Rare Cultural Relics Collection".

In April 2006, Zilongding was collected by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Ministry of Finance and returned to China and is now in the National Museum.

Zilong tripod has square lips, wide edge, upright ears, hanging belly and round bottom, and three feet are placed at the bottom, which is close to the hoof feet. The tripod is 103 cm high, 80 cm diameter, and weighs 230 kg.

The tripod is thick and stands with ears slightly outward, with two concave string patterns on the outside, folded along the wide edge, and the abdomen is wide horizontally, slightly drooping, and the lower part is three hoof feet.

The neck of the instrument is made of cloud and thunder patterns, and there are 6 groups of floating animal face patterns in two categories, and the upper end of the foot is decorated with high floating animal face patterns, and the lower part is lined with three convex string patterns.

The inscription "Zilong" is engraved near the edge of the inner wall of the tripod.

The character "Zi" in the inscription is located in the upper left corner, with a smaller character and a solid pen is engraved.

The character "Dragon" is on the lower right and is made of double hooks, which looks like a dragon with a erect and a tail rolled to the right.

The mouth is opened, the eyes are round, and the huge bottle-shaped corners on the head are protruding, so they are not connected to the faucet.

The Zilong Ding is the largest round tripod discovered in the Shang Dynasty, symbolizing the strictness of the ritual system of the royal nobles in the Shang Dynasty.

The tripod is a representative of Chinese bronze culture and a witness to Chinese civilization, "one word is nine tripods", "three-legged tripods", and "a suffocating the Central Plains".

From these idioms containing the word "文", it can be seen that the tripod is a symbol of state power and status.

From the inscription "Zilong", you can make speculations on the life experience of Zilong Ding.

There are also records of "Zi Mou" in the Shang Dynasty royal family in the existing oracle bone inscriptions.

In the history of our country, the name "Zi Mou" is usually found in oracle bone inscriptions and bronzes of Shang and Zhou dynasties, and refers to a patriarchal aristocrat with the identity of "prince".

Therefore, it can be speculated that the owner of Zilong Ding may be the prince of the late Shang Dynasty.

Or he served as the minister and minister of the Shang Dynasty royal family, and was a patriarchal noble chief with powerful power.

Having such a huge tripod is not only a symbol of power, but also an important symbol of the classification of hierarchy within the Shang royal family in which the rituals are strictly controlled.

In June 2006, when the National Museum of my country held the "Special Exhibition of Cultural Heritage Day", Zilong Ding began its first exhibition.

At that time, Zilongding was placed on the booth at the entrance of the exhibition hall. This was the first close contact between Zilongding and Chinese audiences.

Of course, contact does not mean touch, so even a imitation can be placed in an exhibition hall and can be touched easily, which is very rare.

It depends on my system being inappropriate.
