Chapter 1489: Qin Yu
“When Shaohao’s era experienced decline and chaos, Jiuli began to mess up their morals, and people who did not have the wisdom, sage, and wisdom became managers, and people like Wu Shi became the private property of the powerful. supplies, and the people have lost their leaders, society Order and rules have been lost, sacrifices have become unclear, and enjoyment has become excessive, humans and gods are in the same position, and there is no dignity. The agreed rules of tribal alliances are broken at will, resulting in frequent disasters. "
“And the blessings of the gods are no longer It came, so that people no longer had good food and meat to enjoy, but disasters occurred frequently, and people could not fully develop their vitality."
"So after Zhuanxu was appointed, he ordered Chongli to rebuild. Make rules to restore the old Constantly, so that gods and humans can no longer invade each other, this is called Juedi Tiantong."
"The actual meaning is that those who should control heaven should control heaven, and those who should control earth should control earth. Everyone performs their duties without interfering with each other.”
"In fact, it restricts divine power to the realm of religion, and religion can no longer interfere with the 'rule of man.' There is no doubt that China solved the major problems that plagued the West until the Renaissance more than 2,000 years ago."
“Many Westerners like to make fun of Chinese people for not having religious beliefs. In fact, they just don’t understand it.”
“That is, everyone can have faith, but There are two Eastern concepts: no coercion; and using other people’s beliefs is equivalent to committing a crime.”
“So which concept do you think is more reasonable?”
“That is of course our concept. "Li Laosan has received cultural education from Zhou Zhi during this period, and his cultural confidence has increased by 30% every day. He really didn't know many things before, but after he understood them, he was really proud.
There are so many good things here that Li Laosan and others have never seen before, and they are also too strange, such as the Ba people's unique bronzeware - Qinyu.
The 锘 is a bronze military instrument from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Like a wine jar with a narrowed neck, puffed out chest and abdomen. This piece in the museum is 436 millimeters in height, with an oval-shaped head, protruding shoulders, and downward contraction of the abdomen, making it a hollow elliptical cylinder. The diameter of the head of the plate is 252 mm; the diameter of the shoulder is 310 mm; the diameter of the foot is 210 mm.
The most eye-catching thing is the button on the top, which is 180 mm long and 35 mm wide. It is a fierce tiger.
"There are many records about Tao Yu in history. "Zhou Li·Di Guan" records, 'With gold Tao and drums.' Zheng Xuan's note: 'Tao, Tao Yu'." Mandarin·Jin Language 》Volume 11:' "The coffin Yu, Ding Ning, is used as a warning to the people." Curator Gao introduced: "Because Wei Zhao's annotation says: 'The coffin is shaped like a drum head, and the shape is round like a drum head, and it is as big as a drum horn. Gave it to me. They imagined the shape of this artifact."
Zhou Zhi nodded: "From the Song Dynasty, epigraphy began to enter the attention of the scholar-bureaucrats. Hong Mai recorded such an incident in "Rong Zhai Xu Bi". Er: "In the fourteenth year of Chunxi, five miles away from the tomb of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty, the mountain collapsed, and an ancient tomb was discovered containing many artifacts."
"Hong Mai's nephew Yu Jie was the county magistrate there, and he got a turtle. The record in the book is 'one foot three inches high...the tiger button is one inch and two cents high, one inch and one cent wide, and five inches and five cents long at the tail." , weighing thirteen kilograms. '"
After speaking, he gave a high five: "This thing here, Director Gao, is almost exactly the same as what is recorded in the ancient books. The ancients are honest and do not deceive me!"
"The tiger-shaped button is cast in the center of the top, with the tiger-shaped head raised, mouth open, teeth and tail raised. . From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, it was unique to the Ba people. "Music instruments." Director Gao said: "In the early stages of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Ba nation was a southern nation that developed in parallel with the Chu nation. "Zuo Zhuan: The Ninth Year of Zhaogong" has: "Ba, Pu, Chu, Deng, Wu. "Southern soil" means that in the eyes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, these four The levels of the countries are actually similar.”
This introduction has refreshed many people’s understanding. The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period include Qin and Chu. However, many people do not know that these two countries once existed. It's Karami, who is extremely small.
"After the Spring and Autumn Period, the area of activities of the Ba people gradually fell into the Chu territory. Part of the Ba people stayed in the Chu state and continued to merge with the Chu people; the other part gradually moved to the Bashu Basin and slowly merged with the Chu people there. The integration of the Shu ethnic groups. "During the Warring States Period, the Ba ethnic group was one of the major ethnic groups in the Chu State. Cultural relics of the Ba ethnic group were often unearthed in the central area of Chu State."
“Jiuzi introduced to us before that people from Chu favored Feng and people from Ba favored tigers. Therefore, Ba people’s bronzes, especially their weapons, have many tiger decorations. This is also the case, right? ?" Zhang Lu asked.
"Yes." Zhou Zhi said: ""The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Nanman and Southwest Yi" said that the ancestor of the Ba people was called Lin Jun. After Lin Jun died, his soul became a white tiger, and the Ba people drank from the tiger. Human blood was used in human temples, so the tradition of human sacrifice was formed.” Beating drums and offering sacrifices was followed by the white tiger. Therefore, the ancient Ba people worshiped the white tiger, and the white tiger should be the Ba people's 'totem'. The "four golds" are drums, bracelets, cymbals, and drums, all of which are used to order soldiers to take action. "
"We have already seen the cymbals. The bracelets are the cymbals we saw in Zigui. If the cymbals are not hung with a rope, but are held with a wooden handle, it is a cymbal. If it is still hung with a rope, add a tongue inside and change it into a bell. , that’s Duo.”
Director Gao heard it. Zhi Le: "The explanation of elbow is very simple and straightforward, and it also describes the biggest characteristics of these military instruments. It captures the key point."
"For the Ba people, their favorite There are two types: Qin Yu and Zheng. Of course, these are not ordinary people. It's useful. There are two characters "王" on the bronze carvings we unearthed from Tomb No. 2 of Xiaotianxi in Fuling, which shows that the leaders of the Ba tribe may still be called kings internally."
"It is also possible that they are. "I took the pattern on the white tiger's forehead." Zhou Zhi covered his mouth and stole it. Laughing: "They are not of the same origin as the princes of the Central Plains, but it's just a coincidence."
"Huh? It seems reasonable to tell you that." Director Gao suddenly said: "Those two kings, what the hell? Sorry, it’s not Chinese characters!”
"Is this made by knocking? Curator, have you ever knocked it before? What's the sound?" Ye Xin and Liang Hong were more interested in this aspect.
“Later on, like the zheng, it developed into a ‘set’. More than a dozen pieces of different sizes were placed together, and gradually evolved into a percussion and entertainment instrument used by the Ba nobles for hunting and tribal banquets.”
“ However, the place with the most similar artifacts unearthed is Shimen County in Hunan Province, which was also the area where Ba was at its strongest. Since the 1960s, more than 30 items have been unearthed, especially in June 1983. , unearthed the war in one go There are fifteen pieces of Guo Chu Yu, the tallest one is more than 50 centimeters and weighs 14.2 kilograms, and the shortest one is more than 40 centimeters. "
"The upper cover of Chu Yu also developed into tiger, horse and other shapes. There are many kinds of buttons such as dragon and snake, but all the buttons unearthed from Shimen are tiger buttons. "It reflects the ancestor worship concept of the Ba people," Curator Gao said, "But unfortunately, due to the passage of time, none of them can be heard clearly."
"You have really knocked it. ?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded.
