There are thousands of good things in the world, but it is impossible for them all to fall into our home!
Chen Wenzhe felt a little emotional, this is the trouble of rich people, right?
He is very rich now, more money than anyone imagined.
With such money, he should be able to buy everything he wants.
Therefore, the rich people have too much money.
Shifting his gaze, Chen Wenzhe looked at a green dragon on the other side.
Although there are many things that cannot be bought with money, some cultural relics that look like tatters can actually be bought.
Why? Because if you are not knowledgeable about these things, who would think they are treasures?
For example, on a stone wall, there is a dragon that cannot be seen clearly?
"The dragon on the bluestone looks like a blue dragon!"
Although it is not a combination dragon or a plastic dragon, its style is exactly the same as that of the first blue dragon he knows!
Can there be any extra green dragons like this? Chen Wenzhe really felt it was very strange.
After seeing the earliest dragon, which later became the first dragon in China, Chen Wenzhe thought of the first blue dragon in China.
That dragon should be from the Xia Dynasty. It was unearthed in Yangluo and should be 3,700 years old.
In other words, 3,700 years ago, a "green dragon" appeared, which was also the real "Chinese dragon".
Many people, especially children, don't like to go to museums.
Looking at the cultural relics behind the glass, I had very boring thoughts.
They were all waiting with joy, waiting for the next stop, the amusement park they were about to go to.
When I grow up, I realize that it's not because cultural relics are boring, but because you don't know the stories behind them.
Every cultural relic is a carrier of information, carrying a certain era, someone and someone's story.
Looking at the stories behind cultural relics is like drinking and chatting with friends. The more stories you know, the friends become old friends.
If someone asks you, what color is the dragon?
We will know based on what we have seen. For example, Chen Wenzhe, his first reaction must be turquoise.
Perhaps due to the influence of cartoons and TV series, and later learning about the Taoist theory of "Blue Dragon and White Tiger", this stereotype has been further strengthened.
But when you walk into Erlitou one day, you will realize that everything happens for a reason.
Some people say that it was originally supposed to be a "dragon flag" or a "dragon tablet".
But because it was so old, only the turquoise decoration remains.
Although the cloth or wooden sign has disappeared, the turquoise left behind is still vigorous and powerful.
This "little green dragon" was found in a high-standard noble tomb in the Erlitou ruins.
This dragon shoe was placed on the noble's right arm, and a copper bell was placed on the dragon's body.
The dragon-shaped features are very obvious. The whole thing is made of green turquoise. The nose and eyes are filled with green and white jade. The colors are bright and the contrast is strong!
"Dragon Flag Yang Yang, and Bell Yang Yang", that's probably what it looks like!
This turquoise dragon-shaped vessel is composed of more than 2,000 pieces of turquoise. The turquoise should have been embedded in some kind of organic matter.
The turquoise dragon has grown up, with a giant curled tail, a curved body, and gorgeous colors.
The dragon head is oblate, with spindle-shaped eyes, and the eyeballs are round pancake-shaped white jade.
The bridge of the nose is composed of three semicircular green and white jade pillars, and the garlic-shaped nose tip is made of turquoise.
The dragon's body length is 64.5 cm, and the widest part in the middle is 4 cm.
The body of the dragon has diamond-shaped scales composed of turquoise flakes, and its tail is curled inward, creating a vivid image.
This turquoise dragon is unique among the early Chinese dragon image cultural relics seen so far for its huge workmanship, large size, exquisite craftsmanship, and the number of turquoise flakes. It can be called a super national treasure.
Compared with the many handed down items on display in "National Treasures", this is a national treasure that was obtained during the meticulous operation of modern archeology, and its rarity is extraordinary.
The earliest green dragon in China discovered by archaeologists is like the epitome of the Chinese cultural symbol in Erlitou.
Its appearance announces that it will appear on the emperor's clothes, on the beams of temples, on beautiful blue and white porcelain, and in the dreams, hearts, and songs of every descendant of the dragon.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe admired Li Jinli a little.
It was really interesting for him to create this Dragon Court.
However, Chen Wenzhe felt that Li Jinli was poaching the country!
There is a turquoise blue dragon in the National Museum, and he also has one here.
Although it is a bit small, even if it is not made of turquoise, it is still very precious just because of its image.
This blue boulder does not look like a modern imitation. It should be a real antique, or even come from the Erlitou ruins.
This is the tragedy of China in modern times. No matter what it is, as long as it is owned by the state, the people can only keep more of it.
For example, the bone flute that Chen Wenzhe purchased before, and of course, the three-legged frog bronze drum.
These countries have many collections, but perhaps even more are lost among the people.
Otherwise, how could Chen Wenzhe buy it so easily?
There are quite a lot of various dragon-shaped products in this dragon garden.
It can be said that he has gathered all kinds of dragons unearthed in the country over the past eight thousand years.
Among them, porcelain with dragon-shaped patterns is the most common, followed by jade dragons.
Here, you can see the origin of the 8,000-year-old dragon culture.
From prehistory to the Qin and Han Dynasties, you can clearly see what transformations the dragon has undergone here.
Legend has it that dragons were raised in our country between the Yu and Xia dynasties.
There are Dongfu of the Huanlong clan and Liu Lei of the Yulong clan.
The Erlitou site was identified as the capital of the late Xia Dynasty.
The large turquoise dragon-shaped vessel unearthed at the site in 2002 is very representative.
Of course, not only turquoise dragon-shaped utensils were unearthed in this site, but there were also Erlitou turquoise bronze medals and so on.
The Erlitou site is a well-planned, large and orderly, unprecedented dynastic capital.
Many ancient Chinese cities and political systems originated from this.
Excavations began in 1959, and the remains can be divided into four periods.
Relics such as palaces, residential areas, pottery workshops, copper casting workshops, cellars, and tombs were discovered in the site.
A large number of relics including stone tools, pottery, jades, bronzes, bone horns and clams were unearthed.
Among them, the Bronze Jue is the earliest known bronze vessel in my country.
Several exquisitely crafted bronze medals with animal faces inlaid with turquoise were also unearthed from the site.
These bronze medals show extremely skilled inlay techniques.
It is the earliest copper-inlaid jade product in my country and is also a rare art treasure.
Other bronze wares include the production of tool knives, adzes, chisels, etc.; weapons such as swords, spears, arrowheads, etc.; musical instruments, bells, etc.
The Erlitou site contains a large number of jade wares with unique styles, including gui, seals, congs, axes, knives and handle-shaped ornaments, etc. Most of them are ritual vessels.
Many people believe that the turquoise bronze medal unearthed in the Erlitou Culture is the image of a dragon.
Of course, this is quite different from the dragon pattern we are familiar with, so why do you think it is a dragon?
