Chapter 294 Isolated Case
Lao Wang continued to give Zhou Zhi a detailed introduction: "The location of the coffin bed where the musicians and dancers are carved is called the 'Humen'. There are ten people on the east and west sides, four on the south side, including two dancers. There are twenty-two people playing various musical instruments. Ten kinds, twenty-three musical instruments, including the flute, sheng, xiao, zither, and konghou, as well as flute, flute, flute, clapper, drum, drum, cymbal, and leaf blowing. "Fifteen kinds"
"Various kinds of literature in our country at the same time. Among the objects, the music and dance on this coffin bed is the most grand, has the most complete types of musical instruments, the most realistic carvings, and the most charming playing methods."
"Now that we have figured out the arrangement of these instruments, Belongs to the Qiuci Music Department of the Western Regions The stone carving vividly reproduces the music and dance scenes of the court banquets in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and also clarifies the number of participating dancers.” ?”
"Here." Zhou Zhi took a flashlight and illuminated the two reliefs: "These two people holding the clapper are standing, leaning to one side, showing a dancing posture."
"They are both Is it possible that the performers, or the dancers, are even... the conductor who controls the tempo and pace of the performance? People?”
“Eh? Is this the basis for your judgment?”
“No, because the leading actors in the band are all string performers, whether Chinese or Western.”
< br>“Even in a piano, the hammer strikes the strings to produce sound.”
"But since Director Wang asked this, there may be a trap." Zhou Zhi smiled slyly: "The most important thing in the band than the string players is the conductor. Among the twenty-four people, the one who looks most like a conductor is , just these two people take it The one who made the decision."
"Ah, what the hell..." Lao Wang couldn't help but laugh: "You are too clever..."
"Am I right?" Zhou Zhi Yechun I am blind and am now inexplicably surprised.
"No...you are just guessing...it's not right, it's just that there is such a statement and it's still being verified..."
"Hahaha..." Gu Youwen said with a smile: "At first I thought Davin was talking nonsense, but after careful inference, it turned out to be logical and reasonable. So not only do you need to be flexible in science, but you also need to be flexible when studying liberal arts. Liberal arts is definitely not about rote memorization."< br>
"In short, this is a relatively complete image of the Tang Dynasty palace band that has been unearthed in our country." Gu Zhenduo nodded: "It is useful to understand the establishment, music history, and musical instrument history of the palace band in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period. Very valuable!”
“That’s not necessarily the case!” Zhou Zhi objected at this time.
"Huh? Why?" Gu Zhenduo was stunned.
“Because there are too many exceptions in this tomb.” Zhou Zhi said: “It shows that Wang Jian is a person who doesn’t play by common sense.”
“For example, this above-ground tomb is different from others. There are no imperial tombs.”
"For example, there is a piece of color painting remaining on the forehead of the coupon, which should be painted with red and green precious flowers, indicating that Wang Jian may advocate Buddhism; the style of the Xumizuo on the coffin bed seems to be proof."
"But apart from these, In addition, there are also cloud patterns and animal patterns. , dragon patterns, phoenix patterns, including twelve coffin bearers, many of which are Taoist images. "
"And these three-dimensional round sculptures and half-length coffin bearers facing the coffin bed are also different styles. This is a unique burial system."< br>
"There are also these twenty-four musical instruments, which are carved together with the Taoist cloud beasts, dragons and phoenixes, the Buddhist Xumizuo, and the lotus. This is a mixture of religion and secularity. Overall, the four It can be expressed in one word - neither fish nor fowl."
“I feel that although Wang Jian is not from Shu, he has perfectly inherited the style of Shu people. He likes novelty, but also likes to go eccentric and deviant, which is different from the Central Plains. The so-called 'Bashu produces weirdos', that's it. .”
"For example, what is that?" Zhou Zhi shined his flashlight on something beside the coffin bed, and it turned out to be a large vat. "Well, that's an oil tank. When it was unearthed, there was a lamp in the tank. It was called an 'everlasting lamp', also known as a 'ten thousand year lamp'."
"Isn't this wrong? As usual, This jar should be placed at the foot of the tomb owner, or at the south end of the dragon seat."
"How do you know?"
"I have watched the documentary on Dingling. Ah.”
"Do you have this?"
"There is a large cylinder with blue and white dragon patterns, and there are traces of burning. It was introduced that it is the oil cylinder of the everlasting lamp."
"Yes, this oil cylinder is The location is indeed an exception." Lao Wang could only nod: "But the biggest exception is there."
Under the light of the flashlight, there is a seated figure behind the stone bed.
The seated figure laughs like a real person, with a square face and wide forehead, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, with an implicit and deep expression. He wears a furrow on his head and a long robe, with his hands in his sleeves and sits upright.
The lines of the character are concise and smooth, natural and generous, and the sword skills are skillful. However, the only flaw is that this person lacks the domineering and heroic spirit of an emperor. He turns out to be a kind old man full of humaneness.
It is very life-like and realistic, without artistic beautification or processing.
Zhou Zhi couldn't believe his eyes, but since such a statue appeared here and was located directly behind the coffin bed, it could only be the owner of the tomb - Wang Jian.
So this is a realistic statue of the emperor that is completely based on Wang Jian’s portrait during his lifetime!
This old man is too narcissistic!
"Director Wang, is this Wang Jian?"
"Yes." Lao Wang said with a smile: "You are right. Many shapes of this tomb broke the tradition, and it was not passed down after that, becoming an 'isolated tomb'." For example, for example, this statue of the emperor's true body is It is the only discovery.”
Indeed, there are many portraits of emperors, which were enshrined in ancestral temples of all dynasties. In the Qing Dynasty, the portraits of emperors, concubines, saints and famous ministers were collected and kept specially. In Nanxun Hall.
But playing with realistic statues is really not a Chinese tradition, it is a Western thing!
So this is another isolated case!
"Sichuan is relatively independent from the outside world, so it is understandable that after a lot of culture has flowed in, it has developed characteristics that are different from the outside world." Gu Zhenduo finally commented.
Yes, Zhou Zhi was immediately happy. Where did Wang Jiancai go? There are Jinsha ruins and Sanxingdui in Sichuan. They have the shadow of the Central Plains civilization and developed their own unique religion and Culture, art and aesthetic systems are truly exaggerated, weird and incredible!
It sounds like it took a long time, but in fact the actual tour time was not long. When he came out of the tomb and approached the light, Jiang Shuyi quietly let go of Zhou Zhi's hand.
"Shu Yi is actually bored, right?" Zhou Zhi asked.
“Fortunately, it’s quite interesting to hear what you said.” Jiang Shuyi smiled and said, “But if you come to see it alone, it would be really boring and scary.”
"Why doesn't Wang Jian have a beard?" Chi Xueli did not let go of Zhou Zhi's arm, and kept holding it like that: "Not like an emperor, who has a kind face and no beard, but looks like a eunuch."
