Chapter 4 Visitors from Shuzhong, Famous Scholar Zhang Song (4)

"Hehe, the children are stubborn, Mr. Ziqiao must not be surprised, after that, this big Sima must be strict with the family style and train the dogs well!"

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, and the little sons are all smart and clever, and they know the way of humility, which is all the way that the great Sima teaches his sons, and they will all be pillars in the future!"

"Thank you for Mr. Ziqiao's compliment, you seem to be unsatisfied, there are still strange things, how about taking them out and watching them together?"

"In that case, the lower official will be cheeky to ask for advice again and bring up the old man's beloved things!"

The two consecutive slaps in the face made Zhang Song extremely ashamed, and he almost buried his head in the crotch of his pants, and he also clearly realized: Wuchou Mansion is really full of talents, a few children still have such skills, and the rest of the people can be imagined!

Then again, anyway, I've already slapped my face twice, so I'm not afraid of another fight, so Zhang Song is cheeky and prepares for the third round of the competition, if he loses again this time, he will be really convinced!

"Hey-hey-hey--hey!"

Eight strong axle men worked together to carry two large boxes, one rectangular and one square, and there was a dull loud noise when they landed, at least a few hundred catties, and there were large copper locks hanging on them!

Zhang Song tore open the placket, took out the two keys from his chest, and opened the two large boxes one after another, revealing what was inside, which surprised everyone present......

Inside the long box is a life-size bronze statue with a double-high crown on its head, square ears, big eyes, a nose, a wide and thick mouth, and a bird-print robe, the back of which droops on both sides...... Neither looks nor clothing are Middle-earth!

The bronze man holds a scepter in his right hand, about five feet long, and the top is in the shape of a skull, and the rod is decorated with fish and insects...... The whole bronze statue is not angry and self-assured, there is a faint kingly atmosphere, and the whole body is covered with patina, at first glance, it is an ancient thing!

There are many things in the square box, including jade bianzhang, jade tooth zhang, bronze beast mask, bronze sun wheel, bronze big bird...... Some are also engraved with graphic text, and they are different from the ancient Chinese texts, one by one rusty, it is difficult to distinguish their age!

"Yizhou is blessed with abundant products, and is rich in cinnabar, well salt, gold, iron ore and the like, so the government often organizes manpower to find mining in the deep mountains and rivers to supplement the shortage of the government treasury!

More than 100 miles north of Chengdu, there is Guanghan City, and there is a duck river in the west of the city, which is rich in iron ore and sand and stone, which is the miners when they mined, and unintentionally dug up something, tossing and turning into the hands of the lower officials!

It's a shame to say that Xia Guan likes the study of gold and stone, and has a lot of research on antiquities, but after these things are in hand, he has repeatedly observed them for several years, and asked many doctors and masters, but he has found nothing, no one can know their origin, let alone distinguish the words on them!

There are many talents in the Hou Mansion, and there must be scholars who are proficient in gold and stone, and they hope to solve the confusion for the lower officials, but what is the wish for many years? ”

Everyone in the world has hobbies, some are greedy for food, some are greedy for money, and some are greedy for beauty...... Zhang Song's hobby is more special, he likes to study gold and stone objects, especially antiques with a long history.

Also often sit in a carriage, wandering around Yizhou, specializing in collecting ancient things, even at the expense of a thousand dollars, his home collection of antiques more than 10,000 pieces, but also a special book "Ziqiao Jinshi Collection", a detailed introduction of all kinds of antiques!

There are several bronze figures, animal masks, sun wheels, and ...... Zhang Song has been studying hard for several years, but he has not obtained a single scale and half a claw, and he has almost become a heart disease, making him restless in sleep, so as a third problem, he came to verify the heroes of the world, and by the way, he solved his heart disease!

When Zhang Song was in Jiangling City, he studied with Kong Ming and Pang Tong, and also visited Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Degong, but he still couldn't figure out the origin of these bronzes?

However, after the two masters studied it, they gave a little clue: "These things have a long history, before the Xia and Shang dynasties, and they are not like the things of Middle Earth, and they have something to do with totems and sacrifices!" ’

"Brush! Brush! --What an old object, at least thousands of years old, it really opened the old man's eyes! ”

"Han, Qin, Zhou, Shang, Xia...... There were three emperors and five emperors before, could it be that they were ancient things, and their appearance was too weird, right? ”

The diggers searched for ancient tombs, obtained gold, silver and jewelry, into the treasury for confiscation of the family, the ancient books and silk paintings, then handed over to the Marquis Mansion, there are several large warehouses full, and Jia Xu, Feng Ji, Mi Heng and others, also often study and discuss, are experts in gold and stone!

At this time, when I saw rare things, I immediately gathered around, watching, discussing, and reading ancient books for reference and comparison, and researching for a long time but found nothing, all of them were numb?

These bronze figures and utensils are lifelike, exquisitely crafted, showing a very high level of smelting and casting, at least thousands of years old, but they don't look like Chinese things, which is puzzling?

For thousands of years, China has been the orthodoxy of the world, not only with the largest population, the largest territorial area, and ...... in culture, science and technology, and etiquette In all aspects, it also crushes the surrounding barbarian tribes!

Take casting technology as an example, more than 400 years ago, the Han army was equipped with iron armor and blades, and the Huns have not yet mastered bronze technology, and the Nanban and Baiyue tribes are even more miserable, and they are still in the primitive society of slash-and-burn cultivation and smashing beasts with stones!

Who cast these exquisite bronzes, could it be that there was another nation in the land of the Chinese nation, which also created a high degree of civilization, what kind of nation were they, where did they go, and why is it not recorded?

"Bronze statues, bronze sacred trees, unearthed in the north of Chengdu...... Three stars with the moon! ”

Xiao Yi has been silent, but his heart is lightning and thunder, although he has never been to Chengdu, but in the books of his previous life, he has seen something similar, this is the famous Sanxingdui civilization!

Sanxingdui civilization, also known as 'Cuban Shu civilization', is a very mysterious, very ancient historical civilization, as soon as it appeared, it caused a sensation all over the world, I don't know how many scholars are obsessed with it, and how many literary works are inspired by this!

According to legend, during the time of the Yan and Huang Emperors, the Chinese tribe rose in the Yellow River Valley, and the wise ancestors invented clothes, chariots, boats, writing, farming, and smelting...... Overcoming the harsh natural environment, the tribe's population is increasing and the territory is expanding!

At the same time, the southwest region of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River has also risen a civilization, which also has textile, farming and other technologies, especially good at bronze smelting, which can be called the Cuban Shu tribe!

However, the Cuban Shu people are different from the Chinese, they are tall, have deep noses, and their skin is also white, which is closer to the races of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions.

But this Cuban Shu civilization, like a meteor in the sky, soon disappeared without a trace, as for the reason for the disappearance, there are roughly two theories:

First, in ancient times, there was a great flood in the southwest, which inundated the capital of Cuban Shu, and countless people and livestock were killed and injured, and then there was a plague outbreak, and more people died, almost to the point of extinction!

The remnants of the people of Shu in Cuba had no choice but to abandon their original homeland, cross the Hengduan Mountains to the southwest, and move to live farther away, becoming the ancestors of the Dashi and Loulan countries......

Another way to put it is more bloody, saying that after the prosperity of the Shu tribe in Cuba, they were not satisfied with the small basin and wanted to expand their living space, but they met with the same expanding Chinese tribe and had a fierce collision!

As a result, the Chinese were not tall in stature, but they were extremely fierce and good at fighting, defeated the army of Cuban Shu, rushed into the southwest basin, destroyed the local civilization in one fell swoop, and carried out a genocidal massacre......

This history is too long, and there is no clear written record, so it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and this pile of things in front of you may be able to blow away the fog and reveal a real history!

"Come on, please ask the second lady to come over and identify the origin of these ancient things?"

"No!"

"The concubine has seen the husband, and I have seen all the adults, where did these treasures come from?"

There are many talents in the Hou Mansion, but in terms of its gold and stone, writing, and antique knowledge, no one can match Cai Wenji, and most of the ancient books found by the diggers are also handed over to her to translate, and she is a famous talented woman!

After a while, the slim Cai Wenji appeared, and after saluting everyone in turn, her eyes stayed on the two boxes of antiquities, and she happily moved forward, carefully watching them one by one, rubbing the words on them......

Although the Chinese script and the Bashu script belong to different civilizations, they are both hieroglyphs, and there are similarities in the evolution process, and the two civilizations have collided fiercely, and some horizontal connections will inevitably occur, which will be manifested in the text.

Starting from noon and researching until the beginning of the lanterns, Cai Wenji spent a lot of effort and finally cracked a short piece of text, which was to the effect that:

"The demons with black hair and black eyes have slain from the far north, and they are as unstoppable as a fire, burning cities and killing people, and the earth is dyed red with blood!"

"Our tribe could not resist, the high priest killed a hundred virgins and a hundred virgins, and prayed for the blessing of the sun god, but everything was useless, and the sun god could not defeat the demons......"

The mystery of history has been solved, and now in the Yizhou region, there was a Cuban Shu tribe, with a very high level of culture, but it was exterminated by the Chinese nation.

However, the destruction of beautiful things is embarrassing after all, everyone present fell into silence, only Xiao Yi happily gathered his sons and took the opportunity to start an ideological indoctrination conference:

"Precious sons, remember that every inch of land under your feet was created by your ancestors with blood, and your life's mission is to use the sword in your hand to continue to expand the territory and fight for the living space of the Chinese nation!"

"My hero, his enemy, as long as it is beneficial to the country's society, even if my generation is incarnated as a bloodthirsty demon, what does it matter, kill a peaceful and prosperous world, come to the dynasty from all directions, kill a boundless and exclusive me!"

"Kill! -Kill! -Kill! ”
