Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing weighed the little bear. They both felt that the bear was not light. If it were pure gold, it would be valuable.
The bear was about 10 centimeters tall. Wang Xiaoshan weighed it and found that the bear weighed about 1 kilogram.
Cao Bingbing: "Old Wang, do you want a scale?"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Do you have it? If you have it, come and use it."
Of course it's good to use a scale. You can weigh it and let the audience see how much the bear actually weighs.
Cao Bingbing: "There is one in the car, wait for me to get off."
More than ten minutes later, Cao Bingbing came back with a scale. What she brought was a small pastry scale with a maximum weighing capacity of only one kilogram.
Wang Xiaoshan put the little bear on the scale and weighed it. The actual weight was similar to what he had just estimated. The actual weight of the little bear was 800 grams.
Wang Xiaoshan also showed the weighing results to the audience.
"The ones filled with lead are different. Such a small bear weighs 800 grams."
"The treasure I dug out this time is called a gilt copper inlaid turquoise agate bear-shaped town."
"When you go to the museum, you must have seen some animals named so-and-so town."
"The more common ones are tigers, leopards, sheep, deer, turtles, snakes, and bears. These animals generally have the magical ability to ward off disasters and bring good luck. As the saying goes, sheep bring good luck, and deer bring good luck."
[To be honest, when I go to the museum, I just take a quick look at it. I only remember a few distinctive cultural relics when I go there, but I don’t remember most of them.]
[I know the town, but I have never heard of the animal town. Why is Lao Wang called a town? Is it to express suppression? 】
[I have seen similar small animals, but I can’t remember their specific names. I think I saw four of them at first!]
[This bear looks a little unusual, and even its name is so special. Lao Wang, please tell us about it!]
[These animals should be in pairs. Lao Wang, go and look in the pit again, maybe you can dig out another one. 】
Many viewers have never seen such a small animal called a town. Some may have seen it but cannot remember its name after a long time.
Some viewers posted comments saying that they had seen something similar before, and had seen several of them.
Some viewers thought that such ornaments in ancient times should be in pairs, and asked Wang Xiaoshan to look for them in the pit again.
The problem is that the treasure Wang Xiaoshan dug up this time was not found through formal means, but was specially buried underground.
The pair of bee earrings and the bear dug up by Wang Xiaoshan today were obviously not buried by the original owner.
If the owner of the treasure buries, he will usually bury many things in one place, not just two or three.
And the treasures Wang Xiaoshan dug up today are not of the same kind.
Wang Xiaoshan felt that the things he dug out today should have been stolen by the person who hid the treasure.
You can't ask for so much for stolen things.
When Wang Xiaoshan came out of the pit just now, he had already made sure that there was no treasure in the pit. If there had been, he would have dug it long ago.
"In ancient times, people would make mats, but the material of the mats at that time was not as good as it is now. It was easy to curl and move when you stood up, which caused a lot of inconvenience to people."
"In order to prevent the mat from curling and moving, the ancients would place heavy objects at the four corners of the mat to hold it down. These heavy objects were called mat towns."
"The little bear you saw just now is Xi Zhen."
"Xi Zhen became popular during the Spring and Autumn Period. Jade was highly valued at that time, and the Xi Zhen at that time were all made of jade."
"Because jade is difficult to process into exquisite shapes, it was slowly replaced by metal stones."
"Xi Zhen is generally oblate in shape, with no sharp corners. In order to better hold the four corners, craftsmen usually pour fine sand or lead into it."
"In the history of our country, there was a period of time when Xi Towns experienced unprecedented development, and a number of Xi Towns with various shapes and exquisite craftsmanship appeared, which can be called works of art."
Wang Xiaoshan told the audience about Xi Zhen in ancient times. If he hadn't told the audience, they wouldn't know what Zhen meant.
[It turned out to be used for this purpose. Nowadays, mats are used to spread on beds for sleeping. Unlike in ancient times, people would sit on mats and chat. 】
[I often use mats in the summer, but I don’t find that the mats are particularly rolled. It seems that the quality of ancient mats is not good!]
[It’s a bit luxurious to use such a beautiful thing to press mats. It would look great as an ornament at home. Just find a few stones to press the mats! 】
[Lao Wang only dug out one this time, which means there are three more. Lao Wang, go find the other three. Let’s see what the other three look like! 】
[Lao Wang dug up some other Xi Zhen and let us have a look. Just looking at a bear is a bit unsatisfactory, so let’s add another animal. 】
Many viewers felt that it was a bit luxurious to place such a beautiful thing on the mat. They thought that just placing a stone would be enough, and such a beautiful thing could be placed at home as a decoration.
People who can afford such a beautiful Xi Zhen are not short of money at home. Putting up a stone is too cool. In ancient times, ordinary people's homes should have used stones, and rich people would never use stones.
Only one bear town was dug up this time, and three more have not been found. It is hard to say where the other three are.
Things like Bear Town are too small and easy to lose. It’s hard to say whether we can find the other three in the reservoir.
"Visitors who want to see other bear towns can only go to the museum. After digging the reservoir for so long, such a bear town has been unearthed for the time being."
"There is a museum in Xizhen. You should be able to see it if you go to the local museum."
"In ancient times, bears were regarded as auspicious animals. It stands to reason that there should be many of them, but very few bear towns have been preserved."
"You should be able to see other animals when you go to the museum, but the possibility of seeing Bear Town is relatively small."
[Old Wang, please let us take a closer look. No wonder Lao Wang only dug out one. It turns out that this thing is rarely found! 】
[What Lao Wang unearthed are not ordinary goods. I just checked online and the number unearthed in Xiong Town nationwide is extremely small. The total number is only a handful! 】
[Lao Wang took the camera and asked us to take a closer look at this bear, let us look up, down, left, and right again!]
[Just put the lens aside. Lao Wang quickly went to see if there are any interesting things unearthed in other pits. If so, let us take a look!]
[Lao Wang remembers the place where he dug this time, and will ask the staff to dig nearby to see if they can find other Xi Zhen! 】
When the audience heard that the number of bears in the town was small, they all wanted to take a closer look at the cubs dug up by Wang Xiaoshan this time.
In the evening, Wang Xiaoshan uploads photos. Usually, he uploads photos from the front instead of photos from all sides.
The audience wants to see more of it while it is being broadcast live. If they don’t watch it now, they still don’t know when they will be able to see Bear Town next time.
The mats in the museum are placed there and cannot be moved. Unlike Wang Xiaoshan, who can hold the bear mat and let the audience look at all sides.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to let the audience look at it carefully, and then took the camera to the reservoir to see the excavation conditions of other pits.
If there is a powerful treasure, Wang Xiaoshan can let the audience take another look.
As soon as Wang Xiaoshan left with the camera, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing came over. They couldn't wait to take a look at the treasure this time.
Li Miaomiao: "If this bear's paws could swing, it would look a bit like a lucky cat."
Cao Bingbing: "Then it will become a lucky bear. If there is such a beautiful little bear on the market, I will definitely buy one and put it at home."
Li Miaomiao: "There may not be exactly the same ones, but there should be ones that look similar."
Cao Bingbing: "Hurry up and take pictures. This is already the third treasure. It seems that you have to work overtime today."
Li Miaomiao: "Well, after filming, I'll go check out the other pits!"
Two reporters took pictures with their mobile phones. After taking pictures, Li Miaomiao handed the little bear to the reservoir management staff.
The two reporters had just listened to Wang Xiaoshan talk a lot about Xi Zhen, but she didn't bother to write the article.
Today's live broadcast is not over yet. They need to quickly go to other pits with Wang Xiaoshan to make sure there is nothing that needs to be written in the manuscript before they can write today's manuscript.
At this time, Wang Xiaoshan had already gone to the pit with the camera, and first let the audience take a look at the situation in the pit to see if there were any extra-large treasures.
Wang Xiaoshan and the audience had just walked to the edge of one of the pits and saw workers transporting a cart of soil out of the pit.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Wait a minute."
He saw a mud pimple on the car. Some places on the mud pimple were dark, so he took the thing off the car.
Wang Xiaoshan pulled off all the mud on the mud lump with his hands, exposing the part inside the mud. He found that it was not a mud lump or a stone, but a treasure.
The reservoir staff's negligence resulted in throwing a treasure as a stone. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoshan saw it just now.
Wang Xiaoshan borrowed a brush from the pit staff so he could clean up this treasure.
Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing stood beside Wang Xiaoshan curiously, watching Wang Xiaoshan clean up the treasure.
Li Miaomiao: "This baby has a nose and eyes, so it should be an animal!"
Li Miaomiao didn't know what the treasure Wang Xiaoshan was cleaning was, but he saw a nose with animal characteristics on it, not a human nose but an animal nose.
The audience in the live broadcast room has already started chatting.
[What is Lao Wang doing? He just picked up a muddy lump in the car and started to clean it up. Could it be that Lao Wang is cleaning the treasure! 】
[I think it should be a treasure. Otherwise, Lao Wang would not clean this thing for no reason, and this thing should be worth some money.]
[It was just a lump of mud, but now it is black. The black means it is silver. Lao Wang can pick up treasures just by picking them up. It’s incredible! 】
[I’m a little excited now. I really want to go to the reservoir to pick up treasures. Does Laowang Reservoir still need staff? I work for free. 】
[Be good, you can find treasures here, Lao Wang is so awesome!]
After about ten minutes, Wang Xiaoshan cleaned up the treasure he just picked up.
"Dear audience friends, we are very lucky today. We just picked up a Silver Leopard Town. This Silver Leopard Town has the same purpose as the little bear just now."
An inconspicuous thing turned out to be a treasure. The staff who were responsible for transporting soil just now were dumbfounded.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and asked the audience to take a closer look at the leopard.
This silver leopard is connected head to tail and has many semicircular patterns on its body. The leopard is very cute and looks a bit like a puppy.
The whole body of this silver treasure is made of silver, and it is not inlaid with any gemstones. It is so dark that it can easily be mistaken for a stone.
[Lao Wang’s luck was so great that he picked up a Silver Leopard Town. Lao Wang dug out three treasures in one day, picked up one treasure, and did four things in one day. 】
[Old Wang, this is no longer the silver leopard, it is now the Black Panther Town. This leopard is about the same size as the little bear just now, and it looks so cute!]
[Lao Wang, go and look in the pit. There are three little leopards waiting for you to find them in the pit. You must find them before the live broadcast ends! 】
[Just now it was a rich bear, now it is a black panther, Lao Wang is so fierce, he has discovered some weird species! 】
[This is the first time I have seen an ancient leopard. The ancient leopard was so cute. If Lao Wang hadn’t told me, I would have thought it was a puppy.]
When Wang Xiaoshan just cleaned up and found a treasure, he had already told the workers in the pit to pay attention when digging.
Wang Xiaoshan just took a look and saw that there were other treasures in the pit. He wasn't sure whether they were from Yinbao Town, but there must be treasures there.
Wang Xiaoshan couldn't necessarily stand on the edge of the pit and stare at the workers digging the pit. He could only remind him not to make this mistake again and throw away the treasure like a stone.
Wang Xiaoshan looked at the dirt piled next to the pit again. He found no treasure in the dirt.
The audience in the live broadcast room was very interested in the black panther discovered by Wang Xiaoshan, maybe because there are related movies and TV series.
When the audience sees Black Panther, they think of the movie character.
But Wang Xiaoshan was really lucky today. He dug up a Bear Town, a Silver Leopard Town, and two Bee Earrings.
All the treasures Wang Xiaoshan dug out and picked up today were related to animals, and he found three animals in one day.
Wang Xiaoshan has just introduced Xi Zhen to the audience. This time he did not talk too much about Silver Leopard Town. This time, he mainly focused on watching.
Just when Wang Xiaoshan was standing on the edge of the pit showing the silver leopard to the audience, he may have discovered another silver leopard.
The second silver leopard was covered in mud just like the first one. This time, with Wang Xiaoshan’s reminder, the staff dug the pit very carefully.
As long as you find large lumps of mud, crush them all regardless of whether they are treasures or not. Only throw away the ones that cannot be crushed after making sure they are stones.
Wang Xiaoshan held the second Yinbaozhen that had not yet been cleaned up and showed it to the audience.
"This is the second Silver Leopard Town found in the pit just now."
"We are lucky today. It seems that we can unearth a lot of Xi Zhen."
[Old Wang, please clean up the dirt on it and let us see how these two black panthers look different.]
[No need to guess that they should all look the same, there can’t be four black panthers that look the same!]
[Maybe the head on the east side is pointing towards the head, the head on the west side is facing west, the head on the south side is facing south, and the head on the north side is facing north!]
