Chapter 422

"In 1110 AD, these ten stone drums left their hometown for the first time and were transported to Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Everyone can imagine, the emperor who loved calligraphy the most in Chinese history, and also created a font, Song Huizong Zhao Ji."

"How excited he must have been when he saw these stone drums!"

"He loved these stone drums very much at the time, observing them day and night, and even molded a golden body for the stone drums with gold."

"Filling the characters engraved on them with gold, the whole stone drum became a golden drum."

"However... his behavior of loving the drums actually brought a huge disaster to the stone drums."

"Shortly after, the Jingkang Incident occurred, and Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were captured."

"These ten stone drums were also taken as spoils of war and transported to the north by the Jin people."

"But these stone drums, each weighing one ton, were really too heavy."

"And they didn't understand the significance of the stone drums at all."

"So they directly used knives to dig out the gold on them."

"Then they left these ten stone drums in Yanjing."

"1234 AD, the Southern Song and Mongol coalition forces broke through Yanjing."

"In the army, there was a person named Wang Jian, who was a local from Chencang."

"He must have heard the stories and legends of the stone drums, so he kept an eye on it."

"In the ruins, Wang Jian discovered the ten stone drums that were already riddled with holes."

"Later, he put these stone drums in the Imperial Academy."

"So during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the ten stone drums spent their time safely in the Imperial Academy."

"But in modern times, they were not safe again."

"After the three northeastern provinces fell, these stone drums also followed the relocation of the Palace Museum's cultural relics."

"They traveled through more than half of China, and they were also the heaviest cultural relics during the relocation."

"But it's a pity that they were accidentally lost again."

"Until today, they were dug up by us by chance."

Fang Yang looked at the stone drums on the ground and couldn't help but sigh: "These ten stone drums have experienced many vicissitudes since their birth in the pre-Qin era."

"They were discovered during the Reign of Zhenguan, and have gone through the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties."

"They have witnessed a series of major events in Chinese history."

"They have also had intersections with many historical figures in Chinese history."

"So, the history of these ten stone drums is a history of China!"

"It can be said that in the true sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the heavy treasures of the country."

Immediately after, Fang Yang walked to another stone drum: "For example, this stone drum in front of me. It's called the Qianmian Drum."

"The characters preserved on it are relatively complete."

"The scene it depicts is, against the backdrop of willow trees, the water of the Qian River is clear and transparent, the Qin ruler is fishing on the bank, various fish are playing in the water, some are grabbing water plants, some are swimming slowly, and their shadows are reflected on the stones in the water."

"Everyone close your eyes and imagine."

"What the scene was like more than 2,000 years ago."

At this point, Fang Yang stopped talking.

Everyone closed their eyes to feel the scene Fang Yang described.

If it were modern times, writing such a scene would be nothing.

But you have to know that they are now like traveling back to more than 2,000 years ago.

Seeing the Qin ruler fishing in the Qian River and all the scenes at that time.

That feeling is indescribable.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

—【Damn, it turns out there were grass carp more than 2,000 years ago. I don't know if the grass carp in that river were very big. It is said that the fishing technology of people in the past was not mature, and they didn't like to eat fish very much, and there were fish everywhere in the water. If you traveled back, wouldn't you be able to catch a full load every day?】

—【I admire your brain circuit! Clearly talking about a very amazing cultural relic, you can actually think of fishing. Sure enough, fishermen are addicted. Buddy, you are deeply poisoned!】

—【Closing my eyes, imagining that scene, I suddenly have a feeling of returning to the millennium. Sometimes I really want to travel to the past to see what the mountains and rivers were like at that time, whether there were wild fields and weeds everywhere, and whether there were birds singing and flowers fragrant everywhere.】

—【These ten stone drums were originally from the Palace Museum. Digging them out all at once today, I guess Director He of the Palace Museum will have to run over in person. Such precious cultural relics, there aren't many in the whole country.】

As the story of the stone drums finished.

Everyone felt like they had experienced the experience of the stone drums in ancient times.

It was indeed as Fang Yang said.

It witnessed the history of China.

It is a history book of China itself.

So the value of its existence far exceeds the Jingyun Bronze Bell before.

It's not that big means it's a national treasure.

But it has a unique historical significance.

Compared to the Dushan Jade Sea before.

These ten stone drums, saying they are the number one ancient object of China, is not an exaggeration.

Even if the Imperial Seal is compared to it, they each have their own merits.

It can't be said that it completely surpasses it.

Because its existence is older than the Imperial Seal, and both symbolize the historical civilization of China.

Perhaps only the Nine Tripods, which are older than it and have stronger symbolic significance, can completely overshadow it.

253. Domestic and international heated discussion, Fang Yang drives the national GDP!

When everything ended, it was already around ten o'clock at night.

Fang Yang was destined not to be able to leave tonight.

He could only stay for the night.

The mayor personally booked a restaurant and treated him to a big meal.

At the dinner table, the mayor asked: "Fang Yang, I plan to build a Yuan Blue-and-White Porcelain Museum for these Yuan blue-and-white pieces. I've already thought of the name, now it depends on whether you agree."

Fang Yang, who was eating the big meal, was stunned upon hearing this: "What does it have to do with me?"

The mayor smiled: "Of course it has to do with you, because this batch of Yuan blue-and-white was dug up by you, and it counts as the number one in the country. Although I don't understand cultural relics, I know how important they are."

"So I plan to use your name as the name of the porcelain museum, on one hand to express my gratitude to you, and let everyone know that they were dug up by you."

"On the other hand, I have a bit of selfishness. With your name on it, the porcelain museum will definitely be more popular."

Fang Yang was a bit dumbfounded when he heard these words.

He asked uncertainly: "I can't stay here and be any museum director."

Director Lin laughed: "No, no, it's just hanging your name, you don't have to take any responsibility."

"Then that's definitely no problem. For the sake of these two big meals today, I can't refuse!"

As soon as this was said, everyone at the dinner table laughed.

This meal didn't end until after eleven o'clock.

Fang Yang declined the subsequent arrangements and returned to the hotel to rest.

However, the things he dug up really shocked the archaeological circle.

The epitaph of Shangguan Wan'er rewrote a piece of history.

The Jingyun Bronze Bell let them see the superb skills of ancient craftsmen and understand the inner journey of Emperor Ruizong Li Dan more deeply.

If the first two had already caused quite a sensation.

Then the birth of 34 pieces of Yuan blue-and-white completely shocked the world.

How many years has it been.

The global collection is less than 400 pieces.

Digging up 34 pieces at once is definitely a blockbuster piece of news.

Especially those who love Yuan blue-and-white.

After knowing this news, they wanted to rush over overnight, just to be able to witness the style of 34 pieces of Yuan blue-and-white exhibited together.

Although there are many Yuan blue-and-white pieces in other places.

But most of them have already seen them.
