From the Island Owner to the King

The inscription on the bronze plate describes the complete genealogy from Yu to Mang, nine dynasties, after Xia.

It is of great historical value to study the chronology of the Xia Dynasty, date it, and establish the chronology of the later generations of the Xia Dynasty.

The bronze plate was cast during the reign of Xia Houxie, by a man named Yi Qi, who was the emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

Chen Rui named this bronze plate "Yiqi Pan".

Put 'Yiqipan' into the Pregnant Sea Pearl space.

Chen Rui picked up the bronze sword and studied it carefully.

Bronze sword, bronze cast.

Chen Rui used a tape measure to measure the length of the bronze sword, which was 132.4 cm long.

The bronze sword was covered with mud.

Chen Rui washed the soil off the sword with water.

What surprised Chen Rui was that the bronze sword had been buried in the ground for thousands of years, without rust, still dazzling and radiant.

The body of the bronze sword is fully decorated with black rhombus geometric dark patterns. The front and back of the sword grid are also inlaid with turquoise, colorful beads and Jiuhua jade to form beautiful patterns. The hilt is bound with silk threads. Gold and copper engraved ornaments.

The bronze blade is thin and sharp, and the cold light is shining.

Chen Rui simply tested the sharpness of the bronze sword with paper.

More than 30 layers of paper were torn with a single scratch.

very sharp.

Chen Rui found a two-line inscription on the sword body near the hilt, with eight characters.

Ming said: Inherit the destiny of the Xian Dynasty in the world.

In order to find out the origin of the bronze sword.

Chen Rui took out a laptop from the Pregnant Haizhu Space.

Turn on the laptop.

Enter the Xia Dynasty, bronze sword, and inscription keywords on the Baidu and Baidu search bars.

I searched for some information about the bronze swords cast in the Xia Dynasty.

Soon, Chen Rui found some information.

There are written records that four swords were cast in the Xia Dynasty.

Xia Yujian: "Famous Swords Records" records: "Xia Yu cast a sword, hidden in Kuaiji Mountain, with twenty-eight constellations engraved on his belly, with the text on the back, the text is the sun, the moon and the stars, and the mountains and rivers are recorded on his back."

Qijian, Emperor Qi of Xia Yuzi, reigned for ten years, and in eight years of Geng Xu, he cast a bronze sword, three feet nine inches long.

Taikang Sword, Liang. Tao Hongjing's "Records of Ancient and Modern Swords": "In the twenty-nine years of Qizi Taikang's reign, at the age of Xinmaochun in the third month, he cast a bronze sword with eight sides, three feet three inches in length and a square head.

There is also a sword called Jiajian, Kong Jia, who reigned for thirty-one years, at the age of nine years, Jiachen, plucked iron from Niushou Mountain, cast a sword, inscribed Jia, in ancient script, four feet and one inch long.

Among them, Jiajian is an iron sword.

As we all know, iron is easy to oxidize and rust. After thousands of years of oxidation and corrosion, this iron sword has long since disappeared.

Eliminate the clip sword.

Chen Rui could first be sure that the bronze sword in his hand was not an ordinary bronze sword.

From the complex decoration of the sword body, the decoration with turquoise, Jiuhua jade and colorful jewelry stones, the exquisite casting technology reflected on the bronze sword, and the line engraved on the sword body with "inheriting the destiny of the world and the Xian Dynasty" The inscription, it can be said that this is an imperial sword.

It is likely to be one of the three bronze swords of Xia Yujian, Qijian and Taikangjian that have been recorded in historical documents.

Use exclusion.

First of all, Xia Yujian can be excluded. According to the records in "Famous Swords Records", Xia Yujian's belly is engraved with twenty-eight constellations, and the text has the back, the text is the sun, the moon and the stars, and the mountains and rivers are recorded on the back, which does not match the decoration on the bronze sword in Chen Rui's hand. can be excluded.

Combining with historical data, Taikang sword can also be ruled out.

During the reign of Dakang, he was obsessed with hunting all day long and ignored political affairs. As a result, he was expelled by Hou Yi, the leader of the Youqiong tribe, and was not allowed to return to the country.

It is impossible for such a person to have the ability and courage to be engraved on the inscription "inheriting the destiny of the world and the Xian Dynasty".

In the end there was only one possibility left.

That is, the bronze sword in Chen Rui's hand is the Qi sword.

The Qijian recorded in "Swords and Swords" is three feet nine inches long, which is about 1.3 meters in modern unit of length, which is not much different from the length of the bronze sword measured by Chen Rui.

Moreover, according to historical records, Qi conquered Boyi by force, defeated him and succeeded him, and through the battle of Gan, defeated the powerful Youhu clan, and realized the inheritance of the destiny and the Xian Dynasty in the world.

Combine these aspects.

Chen Rui believed that the bronze sword found in the ruins of Xiacheng was the Kai sword that was recorded in the Sword of Swords.

At this time, a question appeared in Chen Rui's mind.

Why did such a famous bronze sword appear here in history!

with this question.

Chen Rui picked up a jade.

This is a jade huang.

Jade Huang and Jade Cong, Jade Bi, Jade Gui, Jade Zhang and Jade Hu are collectively referred to as "Liu Rui".

The jade ritual vessel is called the "Six Vessels Rites the Heaven and Earth Quartet" by the book "Zhou Li".

The jade Huang in Chen Rui's hand is in the shape of a crescent moon.

The jade is inlaid by the method of reducing the ground, and the bottom is set to form the outline of the animal face. The top is set with two round jades as the eyes, the eye socket is the base of the Huang, the bottom of the mountain is the outer shape of the mouth, and the square turquoise is set inside, and the bottom of the four sides is the frame. , exquisite.

The jade used to carve this jade Huang is a whole piece of top-grade white jade.

The craftsmanship is extremely unique and exquisite, and the decoration techniques are extremely ancient and superb.

Due to the old age, there are recrystallized spots on the jade surface, showing the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

There are inscriptions on Yuhuang.

Combine oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions to analyze and compare.

Chen said he had read out the inscription on the jade.

The inscription reads 'The decree is hereafter'.

This inscription is easy to understand.

"Xiaxi" is the revelation or instruction from heaven or ancestors and spirits.

Xia Wen's "purpose" has a 'dagger' shape on the top, like a soup spoon, and a '日' on the bottom, like a mouth.

His meaning is to put a spoonful of delicious soup into the mouth, expressing pleasure and pleasure.

Combine 'purpose' with 'below'.

The inscription means that the people said to heaven or their ancestors: "I am happy to accept your revelation."

This jade Huang is the Great Huang, which is a sacrificial instrument used for sacrificial worship.

This jade article in Chen Rui's hand is called Huang of Xiahou's family, the most treasure in the world, and the artifact of the country.

The Huang of Xia Hou's clan has been recorded in history.

In the "Book of Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi", "Lianfu Lun", "Zuo Zhuan", "Spring and Autumn" and other historical books have mentioned the Huang of the Xia Hou clan.

For example, "Huainanzi: Shuoshan Xun": the jade of the family, the Huang of the Empress in the summer, and the acquiescence to enter, in order to rejoice; the night to throw people, it is resentment, from time to time.

Wang Tong's "Wenzhongzi. Shangyi": The Huang of Xiahou's family cannot be flawless; the pearl of the bright moon cannot be flawless.

In these ancient books, the Huang of Xiahou's clan, together with the clan's wall and the bright moon pearl, are referred to as the most treasures in the world.

There were two kinds of jade in ancient China, people would not hesitate to start wars to get it, they are the wall of He's family and the Huang of Xiahou's family.

The jade Huang found by Chen Rui in the ruins of Xiacheng is the Huang of the Empress Xia.

Treasure in the world, Chinese artifact, invaluable.
