Yesterday, I went to visit the "Museum of the King of South Vietnam", looked at the exhibits in the exhibition hall, listened to the explanations of the docents, and while understanding the stories behind the cultural relics, I was also amazed by the wisdom of the ancients. Before reading the "History of Yuenan Great China", I had some understanding of cultural relics, but that was the general context, and I also knew more about the story behind it.
This book "Early China in Cultural Relics", written by Lin Wu gongzi, tells about thirty-four cultural relics, selects the parts of the Qin and Han cultural relics with words, puts them in the big framework, and refers to a lot of professional books and literature, leading us to understand what this cultural relic is, what kind of history it carries, and how we should understand it. In this book, the selected cultural relics are mainly from oracle bones, bronzes, Jian Mu, Shu Shu and Han portrait masonry, from these cultural relics to look back at our history.
Each article is not long, with pictures of cultural relics, literature combined with archaeological findings, very professional, but it is easy to read, and it will not feel boring.
This time I went to the Museum of the King of South Vietnam and visited four pavilions, in fact, if there is no video explanation in the pavilion, simply looking at cultural relics and a simple one- or two-sentence introduction, I can't experience anything. Reading this book is the same, simply showing me pictures of cultural relics, I can't see anything. And these documents and explanations allow me to see the story behind the cultural relics.
Reading this book is also like this, whether it is cultural relics or referenced ancient books, it is difficult to understand simply by reading the text, but it is not difficult after the author's explanation.
The first bullet library book of the book, "Four Hours" [Creation Myth], aroused my interest, and if I want to say that the first book that made me produce cultural relics, it was undoubtedly "Notes on tomb robbery". I thought that the Warring States Book was deceived by the beautiful countrymen as a fiction, but I didn't expect that there was a prototype. The second year after the bullet library book was unearthed, it was purchased by the cultural relics collector Cai Jixiang, who wanted to sell it for a good price, and Ke Qiang, an intelligence officer of the Beautiful Marine Corps, cheated the bullet library book on the grounds that he had an infrared camera that could display unclear words on the book and let the book sell for a good price.
This scroll and fragments of the book are still in the Sackler Museum of Art, and there is only one fragment of the book in China. From this cultural relic, we know that Fuxi and Nuwa are not only spouse gods, but also creator gods, and since Pangu opened up the world, the most recognized creation god has become Pangu, in fact, the image of Pangu is derived from Fuxi.
In addition, there are sleeping tigers Qin Jian "ghost monster" science popularization, Sanxingdui bronze culture, Fan Li Xishi, Jing Ke thorn Qin Wang, are all topics of interest to me.
When I watched "Cultural Journey" before, I still had illusions, hoping that Xi Shi could really go into hiding with Fan Li, not the end of the sinking pond. As a result, I didn't expect that Xi Shi Fanli might actually be fictional, and I still had some difficulties in my heart to accept.
Of course, this is not entirely certain, but a reasonable speculation based on the existing cultural relics and data, such as some scholars Xi Shi may be the daughter of Gou Jian, and some scholars believe that it is the princess of wu, but it is a Lu person.
In fact, reading this book, in addition to understanding the knowledge that you don't know, is also to open up a kind of thinking. History, the history we know, is not necessarily true, but it is not necessarily false. Until there is clear evidence to prove it, we can make reasonable assumptions. #头条品书团
