The nine tripods are all decorated with exquisite patterns, as well as many patterns of flowers, birds, fish and animals. There are many clear hieroglyphic inscriptions inside the tripod that Yang Jing doesn't know.
These inscriptions inspired Yang Jing.
The high value of the bronze tripod does not lie in its size, but in whether there are inscriptions on the tripod and the number of inscriptions. Si Muwu Dafang tripod is known as the first bronze ware in China. The main reason is that it is too big. However, in terms of real archaeological value, this tripod is far inferior to Mao Gong tripod with 499 inscriptions and Dake tripod with 290 inscriptions.
Although the nine tripods in front of us are not bronze tripods of Shang and Zhou dynasties, but imitated by Wu Zetian, they are the famous Dayu nine tripods. There are more than 500 inscriptions inside each tripod, and there are more than 900 inscriptions inside the largest Yuzhou tripod.
Yang Jing didn't know any of these inscriptions, but Yang Jing knew that these inscriptions were obviously not Zhong Ding inscriptions in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but most likely Xia characters used in the early Xia Dynasty, that is, the early glyphs of oracle bone inscriptions.
Yang Jing didn't know where Wu Zetian got these early Xia Dynasty characters and inscribed them in the tripod at that time, but it must have taken a lot of human and material resources for Wu Zetian to imitate the nine tripods at that time. She imitated the nine tripods as the dignity of a country. The characters in the nine tripods may be different from the real nine tripod inscriptions, but it's definitely not much worse.
The value of these inscriptions is immeasurable!
Moreover, the nine tripods, even the eight smaller tripods, are a little bigger than Si Muwu Dafang tripod. 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, with this head, with this inscription, and with the name of the imitation Dayu nine tripods, once these nine tripods appear, the sensation will never be under the imperial seal.
But Yang Jing also knew very well that once the fake nine tripods appeared, she might not be able to keep the nine tripods.
The symbolic meaning of this thing is too great. Even if it is imitated, the state will never allow this kind of thing to wander among the people.
What are you up to? It's the imperial seal and the nine tripods of Dayu. Do you want to sit in this world?
Neither the national seal nor the nine tripods can be kept privately! Who dares to take these two things, the country will definitely have such an idea!
Therefore, it's better to hand in these two things voluntarily! Save yourself trouble!
Although Yang Jing is not a Chinese in name, he has never regarded himself as a foreigner. Yang Jing never had such an idea to take the national seal and the nine tripods abroad and own them.
This thing is the most precious national treasure in China. As long as it is a Chinese descendant, he will not do such a thing without a son. Such a baby can only and must stay in China!
The combined weight of the nine tripods was amazing. Yang Jing couldn't think of how the nine tripods were transported here at that time. But think of those craftsmen who can make tens of tons of broken dragon stones. Although these tripods are very heavy, they can't help them.
However, these tripods are nothing to Yang Jing. He only needs to touch the nine tripods with his left hand, and the nine tripods immediately obediently enter the storage space.
Looking at the nine tripods placed in the space according to the original position, and the imperial seal floating on the top of the largest Yuzhou tripod, Yang Jing said that she was not proud. It was false.
He did not expect that it was just a tomb of Empress Wu. He found two of the most important items in Chinese legends. Even if the nine tripods were imitated by Empress Wu, they could be put into modern times. They were also more valuable national treasures than any other cultural relics except the national seal.
Moving consciousness out of space, Yang Jing began to pay attention to the twelve golden men.
Obviously, this is another legendary item imitated by her majesty Empress Wu Zetian.
Twelve golden men, as long as they mention this name, the world is bound to hang a hook with the eternal Emperor Qin Shihuang.
It is said that after Qin Shihuang ruled the world, in order to prevent any more people from resisting him, he collected all the weapons in the world and cast twelve huge bronze men. Because the color of copper and gold is similar, these twelve bronze men are also called twelve gold men.
Of course, it is also said that after Qin Shihuang ruled the world, he melted the nine tripods of Dayu and cast the twelve golden men, which has suppressed the national movement since. However, this legend is obviously unrealistic. After Qin Shihuang won the world, he would like to find the legendary Dayu nine tripods to prove that he won the world is God's permission. How can he melt the Dayu nine tripods to cast the useless twelve gold men? This is simply abandoning the basics.
This is just like that after Zhao Kuangyin or Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he obviously had the national seal, but smashed the national seal and made other seals. That is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Qin Shihuang to melt the nine tripods of Dayu and cast twelve gold men.
The twelve gold statues are not as big as the legendary Qin twelve gold statues. They are only life size, that is, about one meter eight.
Although there is no exact size and weight of the legendary twelve gold men of the Qin Dynasty, historians have roughly inferred the size and weight of the twelve gold men of the Qin Dynasty according to various historical records.
According to various historical records, the weight of the twelve gold statues of the Qin Dynasty is different. The smallest weight should be 30 tons, while the largest gold statues weigh more than 80 tons. I'm afraid the twelve gold statues, even solid gold statues made of pure gold, are not as heavy as the lightest of the twelve gold statues of the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, according to historical records, although the twelve golden men of the Qin Dynasty are different in height, the shortest one is also three feet high, that is, almost eight meters or more, and the highest one is five feet high, which is converted into a modern unit of measurement, that is, nearly fourteen meters high.
The twelve glittering golden men in front of us are all the same height. Obviously, they are not the twelve golden men of Qin Dynasty.
As for the posture, the twelve golden men are similar to the legendary twelve golden men of Qin Dynasty, with standing and sitting posture. Seven of them are standing, and five are sitting.
This shape is also in line with historical records. According to historical records, after Wang Mang usurped power, he dreamed that five Jin men stood up, which shows that at least five of the twelve Jin men in Qin Dynasty were sitting and standing.
"Alas, what a pity! Whether it's the nine tripods or the twelve gold men, they are all imitated by her majesty. If it's true..." Yang Jing said to himself, and he was startled by his words.
Whether it is Dayu Jiuding or the twelve golden men, if they are true, once they appear in modern times, they are enough to set off a storm.
Needless to say, Dayu Jiuding is the earliest symbol of China, and its importance cannot be overstated. As for the twelve golden men, although they are not as important as the nine tripods of Dayu, Qin Shihuang used the soldiers from all over the world to cast the twelve golden men. In fact, it is also the spectrum of using the twelve golden men to suppress the national movement. At the same time, Qin Shihuang created the national jade seal. It can be said that the national jade seal, together with the twelve golden men, is definitely a sharp weapon to suppress the national movement.
It's a pity that Qin Shihuang was great all his life, but his son was not as good as shit. As a result, the great rivers and mountains were directly abused by his son. Even if there were the imperial seal and the twelve golden men to suppress the national movement, it couldn't stand the disaster of Qin II
Shaking her head, Yang Jing put away some messy ideas and reached out to touch one of the sitting golden people.
The answer given by the holy ring did not disappoint Yang Jing.
"Wu Zhou twelve Jin people, Wu Zetian, 700 years."
"It's really the twelve gold men of Qin Dynasty imitated by Wu Zetian!" Yang Jing shook her head slightly.
The twelve gold statues are almost one meter high, and the whole body is made of gold. They are solid gold statues, unlike the twelve gold statues of Qin Dynasty, which are hollow.
A very simple way to calculate the volume of the human body is to divide the weight by one thousand. If a person of 1.8 meters weighs 85 kilograms, the volume of the golden man is about 0.085 cubic meters, and the proportion of gold is 19.26. In other words, the weight of this golden man is about 1.6 tons, and the twelve golden men add up to less than 20 tons.
Although the purity of 20 tons of gold is not very high, it is definitely a wonderful number.
Although before and after Wu Zetian's reign, she wantonly killed the Tang clan and raised the "cruel official politics", she was "observant and judgmental", had many power strategies and was able to employ people, so there were a large number of talents. It also rewards Nongsang, reforms the administration of officials, and attaches importance to the selection of talents. It can definitely be regarded as a Ming monarch.
But people are people after all. Even Wu Zetian gradually became extravagant and arbitrary in her old age, resulting in a lot of malpractices.
Using almost 20 tons of gold to cast twelve gold men is a great proof.
In 700 ad, when Wu Zetian was 77 years old, she was also in her later years. During this period, Wu Zetian used almost 20 tons of gold to cast the twelve gold statues and was ready to sacrifice herself, which is enough to show the extravagance of Wu Zetian in her later years.
At that time, even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be easy to take out nearly 20 tons of gold at once! But Wu Zetian did it.
But it's no wonder that Empress Wu is a queen after all. Before her, there has never been a queen in Chinese history. Moreover, Wu Zetian herself knew that her throne was not right, so she focused on casting nine tripods and twelve gold men.
I'm afraid she also knows that once she dies, everything in her life will not exist. Since the things before death will not exist, you can continue to be an emperor in the underworld after death. Then the nine tripods and the twelve gold men are the best funerary objects, which can accompany you to the underworld and still help you suppress the national movement
This is probably the fundamental reason why Empress Wu Zetian imitated the nine tripods of Dayu and the twelve golden men.
