Chapter 259 Boshan What?
Yan Shigu made an annotation on the "First Year of Jianyuan" in "Hanshu·Wudi Ji": "Emperors have not had reign names since ancient times, and they started here."
According to the research in "Liang Han Journal Mistakes", it is believed that the beginning of the reign name began with Yuanding, and Jianyuan, Yuanguang, Yuanshuo and Yuanshou were all followed by later officials.
"Zizhi Tongjian·The First Year of Yuanding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty": "The year names of Yuanding are also like Jianyuan and Yuanguang, all of which were later revised."
Zhao Yi's "Twenty-two Historical Notes" believes that the reign name begins with Yuanshou, and the former are all for chasing fate.
Yang Shuda's "Hanshu Yiguan·Wudi Ji" believes that in the first year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got a white-scaled hunting bird and was very happy, so he issued an edict to change Yuan to Yuanshou, which was the beginning of the reign name.
Modern scholars "New Evidence of Hanshu" believe that "Rizhilu" and "Twenty-two Histories" say that Emperor Wu Jianyuan and Yuanguang were posthumous records, which is actually untrue.
In the rubbings of "Xiaoxiaojingge Epigraphy", it is recorded that the "Longyuan Palace Tripod" was made in the third year of Yuanshuo, and the "Longyuan Palace Pot" was made in the first month of the second year of Yuanshuo. .
In addition, "Shan Qi Ji Jin Lu" records that in the twenty-four pages of Renqi, it is also recorded that "Longyuan Palace Pot was made in the second year of Yuanshuo".
The author of "Xiaoxiao Jingge Jinwen Rubbings" is Liu Tizhi, a native of Lujiang, Anhui, the fourth son of Liu Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty. He once served as the Anhui supervisor of the Qing Dynasty Bank and the director of the China Industrial Bank. He is a scholar-type capitalist.
The bronze inscriptions recorded in this book are collected by Liu over the past 30 years, starting from the old rubbings of the Qian and Jiaqing Dynasties, and going down to the vessels unearthed in modern times. . A total of more than 6,500 rubbings of bronze inscriptions have been compiled, making it the most comprehensive catalog of bronze inscriptions in modern times.
Cultural relics are generally recorded at that time, which can prove that Jianyuan, Yuanguang and Yuanshuo did not follow their fate later.
But there is a fatal premise, that is, the records about Longyuan Palace Cauldron and Longyuan Palace Pot must be true.
And these two things have long since disappeared in the long river of history; the words left behind are also the "old rubbings" from the Qianlong and Jiaqing years of the Qing Dynasty. The "evidence" listed before, said A thousand words and ten thousand are just the identification of cultural relics recorded in historical documents, not the real identification of cultural relics.
The evidence is not sufficient.
The tombstone discovered by Zhou Zhi now has four small characters on it, which completely resolves the thousands-year-old controversy about the earliest use of Chinese era names.
The Jianyuan year number is not a retrospective record.
Therefore, the earliest time when China used era names should be 140 BC, the first year of Jianyuan.
Instead of what many scholars have identified through literary and historical data, it was 122 BC, the first year of Yuanshou.
In the eyes of many people, this bit of knowledge cannot be used as food or drink, it cannot produce "benefits", and it is of no importance.
But anyone who has done some research on Chinese civilization will know how important this issue is.
The reign name is the exclusive product of the Chinese emperor during the five thousand years of the Chinese Empire. It was initiated when a new emperor came to the throne in ancient China.
In order to distinguish the previous monarch, the new monarch recalculated the number of years in office. Later, people called the beginning of this recorded era "Era". This word is still a commonly used word in Chinese.
Reign names have always been considered a symbol of imperial orthodoxy in ancient times. When a regime expresses vassalage and submission to another regime, the first thing to do is to change the reign name of that regime. There is a There is a special vocabulary to express this matter - "Feng Zhengshuo".
On the contrary, establishing an independent reign represents a complete rebellion.
The era name carries countless historical events. Emperors of the past dynasties generally changed their era names when they encountered major events such as "auspiciousness from heaven" or internal strife and external troubles.
So in addition to being a time clue and mind map for researchers of literature and history, it is also an intangible spiritual cultural heritage in Chinese history.
In the final analysis, it is something that was abolished only a few decades ago and has been throughout the entire feudal dynasty. People who study literature and history cannot avoid it.
Back then, Zhou Zhi was still young and had a wild temper. He thought he was very spiritual and could easily learn anything related to literature and history.
It wasn’t until his godfather forced him to carry this thing on his back, which really made him depressed to death, that he realized that in addition to being full of fun, this road also had all kinds of biting snakes.
Then Zhou Zhi got into trouble and got into trouble with these snakes.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I remember those days when you forced me to memorize chronology."
"Hahahaha..." The godfather laughed so hard that his nose turned even redder: "Why? So, you still don’t have a white back, do you? If you send this rubbing to the capital of Shu, your master will give you a big treat!”
Zhou Zhi was stunned: “You think this thing can still be kept in Jiachuan? ”
"It's as long as you can protect it." The godfather even used the word "protection": "It's so beautiful..." Fuxi and Nuwa's mating is a pattern that often appears in tombs of the Han Dynasty, usually in tombs where couples are buried together.
According to the ancient Chinese etiquette of men on the left and women on the right, Fuxi is on the left and Nuwa is on the right.
The two people have human heads and snake bodies, and snake tails are intertwined. One person holds the sun on his head, and the other person holds the moon on his head.
Surrounding the screen are various constellations composed of dots connected by lines.
Because of the saying "the sky is round and the earth is round", Nuwa, who represents the sky, holds a compass for drawing circles in her right hand; Fuxi, who represents the earth, holds a moment for drawing squares in her left hand.
The whole picture has profound meaning, strange composition, full of artistic charm and mystery.
This is the big picture. This tombstone also has a magical background pattern. The lower part seems to include the life of the tomb owner, farming, reading, cooking, fishing, shooting geese, driving...
“Like me, I have a wide range of interests and hobbies.” Zhou Zhi said.
“It’s so extensive, do you know how to make rubbings?” Godfather asked.
"I really don't know how. My fourth cousin didn't teach me this, and neither did you."
"I'm not good at this. I have to rely on Lao Li from the calligraphy and painting studio. He can even spread flowers, birds, fish and insects."
“So awesome?”
"Ask him to work overtime in the afternoon. You can take a look then." The godfather took the camera and said: "Continue."
There are many good things coming next, except for the couple kissing The figurines also include the figurines playing the musical instrument, the figurines holding the basket, and the figurines playing the drum.
Although many of them are handmaid figurines, they are not complete sets of large and small sizes. I received about twenty of them, all of which have typical Han Dynasty clothing characteristics, with vivid and beautiful expressions, smooth clothing lines, and rich details, which are of great research value.
There are also some that are quite distinctive. For example, there is a pottery with a jar shape at the bottom and a pointed lid on top. If you look closely, you will find that the pointed lid is actually made in the shape of a mountain.
“This thing is also weird. The top is in the style of a Boshan stove, but the bottom is a round cylinder. At first glance, I thought it was a pottery warehouse.”
Boshan stoves were common in the Han Dynasty. The utensil is a commonly used incense device in the Western Han Dynasty. It can be used to smoke clothes and quilts to deodorize and avoid filth.
The shape is relatively small, generally about the size of a fist. Some are decorated with cloud patterns all over the body, and some are gilt or gold and silver.
When the incense is burned in the furnace, the smoke comes out from the hollow mountain-shaped cover, which is like a fairy spirit, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.
The mountains on the lid symbolize the overseas fairy mountain - Boshan, west of Penglai, so this kind of utensil is called Boshan stove. The most famous one is the Western Han Dynasty gilt silver bamboo unearthed in Xingping County, SX Province The copper incense burner with a high handle and the Cuojin Boshan stove unearthed in Mancheng County, HEB Province.
But now this one is made of pottery, with the original green glaze applied on it. The bottom is a cylindrical pottery bowl with three legs underneath.
"It's not a pottery warehouse, it's not a Boshan furnace, guess again." Zhou Zhi was very proud.
I never imagined that I would be bullied online once in my lifetime.
I'm thinking about those people. Many of them should be children.
Then Lao Zhou thought of his son. I thought about the time when I told him to "do not do to others what you don't want others to do to you" in order to get him to do three more wrong questions every night, and told him that from now on, your dad will also add another task every day, writing a book, and do it five times a day. More than a thousand words, fighting side by side with you.
I have done it myself first, so I am qualified to tell you that it can be done.
As of now, five years have passed. In the meantime, there have been some achievements, and it has guided some book friends' views, and also let children know that as long as you persevere in one thing, as long as your intelligence is not enough Questions, there will always be something to gain.
To this day, I still feel that my efforts were not in vain.
Those children who listen to partial beliefs and attack Lao Zhou are not his direct descendants in the legal sense, and Lao Zhou has no obligation to raise and educate them. I can only say one thing: Children, intolerance is actually a kind of intellectual insufficiency. shortcomings. I hope you will make up for your own shortcomings as soon as possible, find your ideals, find things worth doing, and people worth loving.
