Chapter 495

~8 min read 1,401 words

Fang Yang had already been praised many times and was already used to it.

He performed very well and said directly to the couple in front of him: "Thank you for your praise, but these are all things I should do."

Although it was just for work, some things were also very necessary.

Fang Yang knew what he was doing.

Decades ago, the country's control was not very strict.

Grave robbers from various countries who knew the value of cultural relics came to China one after another.

They carried out many organized excavation actions.

What they could take away, they traded privately or sold directly abroad.

What they couldn't take away, or because of other reasons, they would always hide the things in their own way.

In China, most of the tombs were excavated during that period.

National treasures were scattered all over the world.

The thing Fang Yang wanted to do most was to dig all of these out.

In the past, he might have felt anxious about this, but now, such anxiety no longer existed.

The country is paying more and more attention to this aspect.

And the act of taking cultural relics abroad for sale can be directly sentenced to death.

No one would risk their life for dead objects.

And the cultural relics that exist in China are simply too good.

Some people may not know how good they are, but grave robbers definitely know.

So once things are dug out, they are reluctant to smash them directly.

In this situation, there is no other possibility except hiding them.

Some are hidden very secretly!

Fang Yang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If it weren't for his existence, which is like a cheat, I'm afraid many treasures would be hard to see the light of day for a short time, and some would not be able to for hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Fang Yang felt more and more that the work he was doing now was particularly meaningful.

"Brother, we dug up something good."

Suddenly, the cameraman spoke happily.

Fang Yang looked at the things dug out with the soil in the excavator he borrowed, and his expression paused.

He hadn't even had time to take the things out, but the others had already taken action.

It was a thirty-year-old man who quickly pulled the things out of the soil.

He patted the things in his hands carefully, and when he noticed Fang Yang and the cameraman staring at him, his expression was clearly unnatural.

"Ah, I'm really sorry. I've always been impatient. Once I see something..."

The man felt very sorry and raised his hand to hit his head hard.

"This thing was meant to be handed over to you after being dug out. You don't need to blame yourself like this."

Fang Yang didn't care much about this.

His gaze was fixed on the cultural relic, and as the soil on it was brushed away, the original appearance became clearer and clearer.

"Is this a hat?"

When they saw this object, they almost uncontrollably spat out this sentence.

"This is indeed a hat."

As the man who cleaned it confirmed this, the system sound rang out.

【Wanli Emperor's Wusha Yishan Crown】

【23.5 cm high, 19 cm in diameter, total weight 307.5 grams】

【……】

"From the shape of the hat, it can almost be determined that this is a hat from the Ming Dynasty, and it was worn by an emperor."

This kind of hat with very characteristic features of the era, and limited to a certain dynasty, was almost easily recognized.

So, when the man holding the hat said this, Su Yi not only didn't refute but also nodded in agreement: "You are right, it is indeed like this."

The man was quite happy that what he said was recognized, but the happy emotion was only for a moment. Soon, he frowned fiercely again, and his appearance looked really extremely difficult.

"Unfortunately, the emperors at that time all wore this kind of Wusha Yishan crown, and I don't know which emperor of the Ming Dynasty this belonged to."

When the man sighed, Fang Yang spoke slowly.

"Actually, this hat is very similar to the Wusha hat worn by officials."

"They are all woven from fine bamboo and covered with black gauze."

"However, what you just said is also correct. The hat in your hand was indeed worn by an emperor. Because the emperor's hat has two hat wings that are upward."

"It looks like it's going upward."

"So the name of the hat is called Wusha Yishan crown."

"The Wusha Yishan crown of the early Ming Dynasty had no patterns."

"But the one in your hand is very luxurious."

"It is directly divided into three parts: the front room, the back mountain, and the gold folding corner."

"There is a relief of a rising dragon on the crown, in the shape of two dragons playing with a pearl."

"The dragon on this is made directly of gold thread, and various gems are inlaid on the dragon's body."

Fang Yang didn't even take a big breath while telling these things. After a long while, he paused, and then continued: "Actually, what everyone needs to pay more attention to is that there are two gold dragons on the back of the hat, and the words 'Wan Shou' (Ten Thousand Longevity) are trailing behind the gold dragons."

"It is the Wanli Emperor's hat. It is said that after the Wanli Emperor died, it was always worn on his head, and now it appears here. As for the reason, it is probably not that hard to imagine."

340. Men perform the capping ceremony at twenty, symbolizing identity and respect!

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1.

……

——【This looks much better than the Qing Dynasty's conical hat.】

——【It was originally like that. Qing Dynasty clothing is the ugliest in the world.】

——【Haha, that's why Qing Dynasty clothing is treated as zombie clothing.】

——【Qing Dynasty emperors were the barbaric Jurchen tribe, their aesthetics were not good. The Ming Dynasty was typical Han culture.】

——【Qing Dynasty clothing has already been demonized now.】

——【Two rabbit ears.】

——【It looks like an insole.】

——【Better than tying a rat tail at the back of the head.】

——【This should have evolved from the official hats of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Tang Dynasty was downward, it was the belt of the hat scarf, which had a practical role, and later developed into a decoration.】

——【If you say that, aren't the Tang and Song Dynasties all rabbit ears?】

——【Aren't the actors playing Ming Dynasty emperors in movies all wearing replicas of funerary Yishan crowns? I've seen many, all of them are gold thread.】

——【Yes, TV drama clothing is not that rigorous.】

——【I don't understand, why did the ancients like wearing hats so much?】

——【This is a crown. Having disheveled hair in ancient times was an extremely rude behavior.】

——【Men perform the capping ceremony at twenty, symbolizing identity and respect.】

——【Crowns in ancient times all had special meanings such as rank.】

——【Ming Dynasty emperors' festive clothes, dragon robes, imperial crowns, etc., are all relatively light luxury, not feeling very exaggerated. I think this is quite good.】

——【Foreigners like to lurk silently. Just now I saw someone from the Kimchi country actually saying this hat is theirs. Oh my, the stealing country is here again. It cracked me up.】

——【Who doesn't know, even the whole universe is your Kimchi country's. Don't come here to brush your presence.】

——【I feel like I've learned some useful knowledge from Fang Yang again today. I hope that in the future, TV dramas involving historical content can be more rigorous.】

Fang Yang dug up items from different periods in succession, and these items all had great research value.

You know, cultural relics dug up in some cities might be bronze or pottery, without any written records.

But today, Wu Zetian's gold slip and that Qing Dynasty cheating shirt had much more text than other cities.

Plus the last Ming Dynasty emperor's hat, it can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

After finishing this, Fang Yang walked directly toward the tent.

His work today was already finished, and he was going to say goodbye to Mr. and Ms. Bai and leave.

It was these two who went to the hotel to pick them up. Since they were leaving, it was natural to tell them before leaving.
