Chapter 556: The Cause of Imitation


These nine tripods are cast with exquisite ornamentation, there are also a lot of flowers, birds, fish and beasts ornamentation, the interior of the tripod has many very clear but Yang Jing does not know a single hieroglyphic inscription.These inscriptions lifted Yang Jing's spirits.Whether the value of the bronze tripod is high or not lies not in its size, but in whether there is an inscription on the tripod and the number of inscriptions.Simu Wu Dafang Ding is known as the first bronze in China, the most important thing is because it is too big, but in terms of real archaeological value, this tripod is far inferior to Mao Gongding with 499 inscriptions and Da Keding with 290 inscriptions.Although the nine tripods in front of him are not the bronze tripods of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but Wu Zetian imitated them, but the nine tripods themselves imitate the famous Yu nine tripods, and each tripod has more than 500 inscriptions inside, and the largest one in Yuzhou has more than 900 inscriptions.Yang Jing did not know any of these inscriptions, but Yang Jing knew that these inscriptions were obviously not Zhong Dingwen of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it was very likely that they were the Xia Dynasty script used in the early Xia Dynasty, that is, the early glyphs of the oracle bone inscriptions.Yang Jing also couldn't figure out where Wu Zetian got these early Xia Dynasty words from that time and inscribed them in the Ding, but presumably Wu Zetian spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to imitate Jiuding at that time, and she imitated Jiuding as the dignity of a country, and the words in Jiuding may be different from the real Jiuding inscriptions, but they are definitely not far behind.The value of these inscriptions is immeasurable!

And these nine tripods, even if they are the eight smaller ones, are a little bigger than Simuwu Dafang Ding, as for the largest Yuzhou tripod, Yang Jing estimated that the weight of this tripod must be at least two tons!

Although these nine tripods are not the bronze tripods of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but with this head, with this inscription, and with the name of the nine tripods they are imitations of Dayu, once these nine tripods appear, then the sensation will definitely not be under the jade seal of the country.It's just that Yang Jing also knows very well that once this imitation Jiuding appears, it is estimated that he will not be able to keep these Jiuzun Dings.The symbolism of this thing is too great, even if it is a copy, the state will never allow this kind of thing to wander among the people.What do you want?

It's the jade seal of the country and the nine tripods of Dayu, do you want to sit in this world?

Whether it is the national seal or Jiuding, it must not be kept by private individuals!

Whoever dares to take these two things, the country will definitely have such an idea!

Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to hand over these two things!

Save yourself yourself and find yourself trouble!

Although Yang Jing is not nominally a Chinese now, he has never regarded himself as a foreigner.If you want to take the Chuanguo Seal and Jiuding out of the country and then take possession of it yourself, Yang Jing has never had such an idea at all.This thing is the most precious national weapon in China, as long as it is a descendant of Huaxia Yan and Huang, he will not do this kind of thing that has no son.Such a baby can only and must stay in China!

The combined weight of these nine tripods was very amazing, and Yang Jing couldn't figure out how these nine tripods were transported here at that time.But thinking that those craftsmen were able to make dozens of tons of broken dragon stones, although these tripods were very heavy, they couldn't stop them.However, these tripods are nothing to Yang Jing, he only needs to touch these nine tripods with his left hand, and these nine tripods immediately obediently enter the storage space.Looking at the nine tripods in the space according to their original positions, and the largest Yuzhou tripod floating on the top of the jade seal, Yang Jing said that he was not proud in his heart, it was fake.He didn't expect that it was just a tomb of Wu Zetian, and he found the two most important items in Chinese legends inside, even if Jiuding was imitated by Wu Zetian, but in modern times, it is also a national weapon that is more valuable than any other cultural relics except for the national seal.Moving his consciousness out of the space, Yang Jing began to pay attention to the twelve golden figures again.Obviously, this is another legendary item imitated by Her Majesty Empress Wu Zetian.Twelve golden people, as long as this name is mentioned, the world will inevitably be linked to Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages.Legend has it that after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, in order to prevent anyone from rebelling against him, he put away all the weapons in the world and cast twelve huge bronze figures, because the color of copper and gold is almost the same, so these twelve bronze figures are also called twelve golden people.Of course, there are also legends that after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he melted down the nine tripods of Dayu and cast them into twelve golden people, which suppressed the national fortune.However, this legend is obviously unrealistic, after Qin Shi Huang won the world, he couldn't wait to find the legendary Dayu Jiuding, in order to prove that he won the world is God's permission, and how could he melt Dayu Jiuding to cast the useless twelve golden people?

It's a matter of sacrificing the basics.This is like Zhao Kuangyin or Zhu Yuanzhang after winning the world, they obviously have the national seal, but they smashed the national seal and made it into other seals, which is absolutely impossible.Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Qin Shi Huang to melt Dayu Jiuding and cast twelve gold people.These twelve golden figures are not as big as the legendary Qin twelve golden figures, only life-size, that is, about one meter eight.Although the legendary Qin Twelve Golden Men do not have an exact size and weight, historians have roughly deduced the size and weight of the Qin Twelve Golden Men based on various historical records.According to the records of various historical materials, the weight of the twelve golden figures of Qin is not equal, the smallest weight should be thirty tons, and the largest weight of the golden man is more than eighty tons, and the twelve golden figures in front of him, even if they are solid gold figures made of pure gold, I am afraid that they are not as heavy as the lightest gold people among the twelve golden people of Qin.And according to the records of historical materials, although the height of the twelve golden figures of Qin is different, the shortest one of them is also three zhang high, that is, almost more than eight meters, and the highest golden man is as high as five zhang, which is converted into a modern unit of measurement, that is, a height of nearly fourteen meters.And the twelve golden figures in front of him are all the same height, obviously not the twelve golden people of Qin.As for the posture, these twelve golden figures are similar to the legendary twelve golden figures of Qin, with standing postures and sitting postures.Seven of the golden figures are standing, and five are seated.This shape is also in line with historical records.According to historical records, after Wang Mang usurped power, he once dreamed that five golden figures stood up, which shows that at least five of the twelve golden figures of Qin were in a sitting posture."

Alas, what a pity!

Whether it is Jiuding or these twelve golden figures, they are all imitated by Her Majesty the Empress, if it is true" Yang Jing muttered to himself, and as he spoke, he himself was taken aback by his own words.Whether it is Dayu Jiuding or the Twelve Golden People, if it is true, then once it appears in modern times, it is enough to set off stormy waves.Needless to say, that thing was originally the earliest symbol of China, and its importance cannot be overstated.As for the twelve golden figures, although they are not as important as Dayu Jiuding, when Qin Shi Huang collected the world's soldiers to cast these twelve golden figures, in fact, he also used these twelve golden figures to suppress the national fortune.At the same time, Qin Shi Huang created the jade seal of the country, it can be said that the jade seal of the country is combined with the twelve golden people, and it is definitely a weapon to suppress the national fortune.It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang has a great life, but the son he gave birth to is not as good as bullshit, and as a result, the good rivers and mountains were directly trampled by his son, even if there is a jade seal and twelve golden people to suppress the national fortune, it can't stand the disaster of Qin II Ah shook his head, Yang Jing put away some messy thoughts, and reached out and touched one of the sitting golden people.The answer given by the Holy Ring did not disappoint Yang Jing."

Wu Zhou Twelve Golden People, Wu Zetian, 700 years.""

Sure enough, it's Wu Zetian's imitation of the Twelve Golden Men of Qin!"

Yang Jing shook his head slightly.These twelve golden figures are almost all one meter and eight meters tall, and their whole body is made of solid gold figures, unlike the twelve golden figures of Qin, which are hollow.There is a very simple way to calculate the volume of the human body, which is to divide the weight by one thousand.A person of 1.8 meters, calculated according to the weight of 85 kilograms, the volume of this gold man is about 0085 cubic meters, and the specific gravity of gold is 1926, that is to say, the weight of this gold man is about 16 tons, and the twelve gold figures add up to less than 20 tons.Twenty tons of gold, although the purity is not very high, is definitely a remarkable number.Although Wu Zetian killed the Tang clan before and after her reign and raised the "cool official politics", she was "discerning and decisive", had more power and strategy, and could use people, so she made a large number of talents.He also rewarded farmers, reformed the rule of officials, and attached importance to the selection of talents, which can definitely be regarded as a generation of Ming Jun.But people are human beings after all, even Wu Zetian, in his later years, he gradually became extravagant and arbitrary, and there were a lot of maladministrations.The fact that twelve gold men were minted with almost twenty tons of gold is a great proof.In 700 AD, it was when Wu Zetian was seventy-seven years old, and it was also Wu Zetian's old age.During this period, Wu Zetian used almost twenty tons of gold to cast these twelve golden figures, and prepared to bury himself, which is enough to show that Wu Zetian was extravagant in his later years.At that time, even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it was probably not an easy thing to take out nearly twenty tons of gold at once!

But Wu Zetian did just that.But it's no wonder that Wu Zetian is a generation of empresses after all, and there has never been an empress in Chinese history before her.And Wu Zetian herself knew that her imperial position was not right, so she would dig out her mind to cast Jiuding and cast twelve golden people.She probably knows that once she dies, everything in her life will not exist.Since the things before his death will not exist, then he can continue to be the emperor in the underworld after death, so these Jiuding and the Twelve Golden People are the best funeral goods, and they can accompany themselves to the underworld and still help themselves suppress the national fortune, which is probably the fundamental reason why Her Majesty Empress Wu Zetian imitated Dayu Jiuding and the Twelve Golden People.
