Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 242 What Represents Preciousness?
When the audience realized the scale of the terracotta warriors, there was a barrage riot!

Countless barrages flew by.

【fear! 】

[One word, absolutely! 】

[Is this a project completed by humans? Engineering 2000 years ago? 】

[This is too much!Domineering now! 】

Lin Xuan: "On Earth Star or Blue Star, in ancient times, there was a habit of offering sacrifices and burials to living people."

"Until Qin Huigong's time, this custom of burial was abolished."

In fact, the burial of living people was abolished during the time of King Zhou of Shang.

Later, Zhou took it out again.

When King Wu defeated Zhou, not burying a living person was one of Emperor Xin's crimes.

Unlike other famous tyrants in history, Di Xin's crimes at the beginning were not considered sins from the moral point of view of later generations.

So all dynasties are keen to add charges to Di Xin.

Di Xin should be the most unlucky one among all the emperors called 'tyrants'.

And Qin Shihuang was also called a tyrant at the beginning.

But after the society stabilized, Qin Shihuang's evaluation changed very quickly.

It has been changed to have merits and demerits outweigh demerits.

With the modern archaeology of the Qin Dynasty, this past has gradually disappeared completely.

For example, burning books and burying Confucianism, in fact, there was no such thing as Confucianism in the pre-Qin period.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism is very weak.

At that time, Mohism was the most popular in the world, and agriculture, law, miscellaneous, and vertical and horizontal were all more popular than Confucianism.

Even if you want to cheat Confucianism, you can't find Confucianism to cheat.

It was later proved that burning books and burying Confucian scholars was actually burning useless deceitful alchemy books and defrauding a group of alchemists.

In this respect, it is a bit similar to Emperor Xin. Later kings and ministers also continued to blame Qin Shihuang.

But none stood still.

It can be said that Da Qin lost the world with generosity.

With the discovery of the law of Qin, the rumors that the so-called tyranny of the Great Qin was fiercer than a tiger became even more self-defeating.

The laws of Qin are very scientific, farming emphasizes natural harmony, urban management emphasizes orderliness, and many places reveal cross-age thinking and advancement.

Obviously, Qin Law is a collection of absolutely correct government orders accumulated slowly by the Qin State over hundreds of years.

However, correctness does not mean that ordinary people are willing to abide by it.

So far, the history books of junior and senior high schools are still very accustomed to one-sidedly determining a person's historical image.

In fact, after studying history in university, or after I have the ability and time to read history books, I will find that history and history classes are completely different things.

In junior high school and previous courses, education is more important to establish a teenager's three views, not to tell them true or false.

To put it simply, history lessons are not fair to the losers or the tragic.

And for successful people, it is too loose.

After all, history is a little girl who can be dressed up.

The function of history is not to tell history at all, but to tell opinions.

The literati are probably the most cowardly and profit-seeking part of this country.

There seems to be such a problem on the Internet.

How do you view the level of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

One response went like this: "I'm in the history department, and I showed this book to my professor, and he smiled contemptuously. You know it's not history at all."

But there is such a problem.

At that time, pro-cherry blossoms were very popular, and a lot of textbooks praised the country of cherry blossoms, and in the film and television industry, there were a lot of braids.

It seems that the Han people are born with low self-esteem.

A book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was published, telling the world that there was an awesome dynasty in history called the Ming Dynasty. In the words of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, it was the power of the Ming Dynasty, which was far ahead of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

All of a sudden, there are more and more fans on the Internet, and more and more patriots are matched with it.

A well-known male leech, short, big, and tight, scolds Mingfen every day, just to make some money.

Then the problem comes, when everyone's cultural level was not high and they didn't understand history.

What are the history professors at your various universities doing.

Why didn't anyone write a book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that they looked down upon so much.

Are you busy counting money?
What did these professors who knew a hundred times more about history than Mingyue did?
They are indifferent to those who falsify history all over the world.

They despise those who popularize history for ordinary people.

Whose fault is it when ordinary people in a country need to rely on online texts or videos that can't tell the truth from the fake and have no authority to authenticate to understand history?The professors of the history departments of various universities have memorized this pot by themselves.

Therefore, when you meet a professor in the history department, you spit first and then talk.

Facing the barrage of historical issues, Lin Xuan was not interested in watching them.

Lin Xuan also has no interest or idea to popularize history.

Lin Xuan just wants to make a light topic in this issue.

Talk about something you are interested in.

"This is the terracotta army of Qin Shihuang, the most famous figure in history."

"These are his funeral objects."

"The appearance of each terracotta warrior is different. They are re-engraved according to the appearance of the Qin army at that time."

"Each terracotta warrior has a different appearance and different clothes."

"Each terracotta warrior corresponds to an ancient man 2000 years ago."

There are many details on the terracotta warriors and horses.

For example, the terracotta warriors and horses actually have their names engraved on them.

The name is the name of the craftsman. Any terracotta warrior can find the corresponding craftsman through the mark.

Find the responsible official, the superior official. This relationship can be traced back to the Prime Minister of Great Qin.

This reflects the advanced nature of the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty.

The terracotta warriors also have weapons, but the weapons are real weapons scattered in the weapon pits.

Among them, the complex structure of the machine expansion shows the strength of the bows and crossbows of the Qin Dynasty. Until 1000 AD, the West did not catch up.

This is why Lin Xuan didn't want to talk about the discus thrower and Athena in this topic.

Those two bronze works in the West claim to be from BC, and the study of the structure of human statues is very clear, but the bows and crossbows that the West cannot make with iron, let alone bronze.

However, in a place like Greece, which is known as a martial arts city-state, it is impossible to make weapons with bronze, and use bronze to make detailed portraits.

A civilization that can polish five fingers of a person with bronze cannot make a bow and crossbow, that would be too nonsense.

Is it because the wooden structure of the bow and crossbow can be detected, so it cannot be 'made'?
(Note: Both Greek and Assyrian records are famous for bows and crossbows, but no real objects have been unearthed. Compound bows were unearthed in Greece (those who counterfeit belong to weapons and are blind). In later eras, bows The status of soldiers is actually the bottom of their army (counterfeiters are military blind).)
Lin Xuan really couldn't believe that this thing was real.

After all, there are still steel bars outcropping on the foundation under the Temple of Saturn. The fake maintainers also said that it is possible that the ancient Greeks already knew how to make steel bars.

Lin Xuan knew that Greek civilization must be true, but the prosperity of Greek civilization must be false.

Fake things, there is no need to put them on the show to embarrass Blue Star.

"The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang represents the pinnacle of architecture and water conservancy in the world two hundred years ago in 2000. The terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang represent the pinnacle of manufacturing and the pinnacle of sculpture art 2000 years ago."

"When these terracotta warriors were buried in the soil, they were all colored, which completely restored the color of the soldiers' clothes and skin."

"But when it was unearthed, due to oxidation, it only lasted for more than ten minutes before disappearing quickly."

[There are colors? 】

[As expected of a figurine! 】

[This figure, I can't fit it on my display shelf, good guy! 】

The terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, ordinary soldiers, generals, archers, and terracotta warriors of different shapes can surprise the audience.

The advanced nature of these things does not seem to be proved by how powerful a single figurine is.

But it is reflected in large-scale manufacturing.

This shows that the manufacturing process of the manufacturing method can be generalized.

Represents the maturity of this technology.

For example, something like the bronze statue of the goddess Athena in ancient Greece, it can be said that even if it is true, it is impossible to prove its advanced nature, because it may be possible to use hundreds of craftsmen regardless of the cost in a stupid way. It was slowly ground out of a whole piece of poured bronze over a period of ten years.

What is it that reflects the preciousness of a thing?
Is it the surviving quantity?A picture written by a random passerby may be unique in the world, but it is not precious to the world.

Does artistry embody preciousness?

The artistry of Qingming Shanghe Tu is not high, but its preciousness is No. 1 among ancient paintings.

Is it beauty that embodies preciousness?

what is this else?
What really embodies the preciousness is technology, which is ahead of the times.

The terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty are very precious, but the small terracotta warriors of the Qin Dynasty are not so precious.

The lacquer ware of the Han Dynasty is very precious, and the bronze ware of the Han Dynasty can only be said to be okay.

The Xue Tao rafts of the Tang Dynasty are very precious, but the bamboo slips of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be meaningless.

Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty was very precious, and the five baht coins in the Song Dynasty were already worthless.

The giant ships of the Ming Dynasty are very precious, and the canoes of the Ming Dynasty are naturally nothing.

Qing Dynasty?The Qing Dynasty lagged behind the world in an all-round way. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the value of cultural relics in the Qing Dynasty can be said to be rubbish, which means that the amount of surviving artworks in the Qing Dynasty is full.

It can be said that what truly represents the preciousness is the technology ahead of the times.

The characteristics of technology are replicability and scalability, which can improve the efficiency or scale of production and liberate productivity.

According to this feature, looking back at 1000 after 2022 years, the most leathery antiques will be lathes or supercomputers.

Lin Xuan: "The preciousness of the terracotta warriors and horses cannot be explained in one or two sentences, but this episode of our program is not about history, so we will not discuss its power."

"We only discuss, fun stuff."

Lin Xuan smiled and released a photo: "Do you think this terracotta warrior looks like Professor Tang Yun?"

【Ha ha ha ha!I laughed so hard, Professor Tang Yun was matched. 】

【Understood!Professor Tang Yun is a soldier of the Qin Dynasty from Earth Star who traveled to Blue Star! 】

【666, this actually matches. 】

Lin Xuan: "There are many figurines of the same period, let me show you some representative ones."

"Shu said singing pottery figurines."

The terracotta figurines appearing in the picture are wearing sweat scarves, laughing heartily, with one foot up, obviously dancing, and then beating drums.

[666, Shudi started rapping so early? 】

[Hahaha, are you so happy?This is not an ancient version of the toy, is it? 】

By the way, in the final analysis, statues such as pottery figurines basically did not have the function of commemorating people in ancient times, but came from toys.

"This is the equestrian figurine of the Han Dynasty."

【Huh?I remember that the horses in the terracotta warriors and horses had relatively smooth buttocks. In the Han Dynasty, the horse's buttocks were raised? 】

[Other details are very similar, indicating that it is not an artistic exaggeration, but a change in Qin and Han's horses. 】

"This is the Terracotta Warriors of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

[As the stabilization time gets longer and longer, the artistic content of this kind of figurines is getting higher and higher, and the realistic content is getting lower and lower. 】

[666, the emoji of this horse is completely an emoji! 】

[Indeed, it was basically all realistic at first, and then it developed into a more interesting look, just like the fact that realistic paintings developed into comics. Are these things the toys of the ancients? 】

"I don't know about that. The ancients probably liked playing with these things, otherwise they wouldn't have buried them in their own cemetery."

[Indeed, on the day I die, I will definitely carry Optimus Prime into the coffin with me. 】

[I think I will hug the original Ultraman. 】

[Hahaha, the ancients are really interesting. 】

Lin Xuan smiled: "Do you know how such tall, one-to-one pottery figurines are made?"

Those small terracotta figurines can also be said to be made out of one piece.

The terracotta warriors and horses can be squeezed out by pinching their faces?

Lin Xuan: "Actually, we invited four groups of challengers to the scene."

"They will reproduce the terracotta warriors in four different ways."

"I guarantee that there is one set of approaches that is the same correct answer as it has historically been."

"Everyone thinks, who can succeed?"

[What method did you use separately!Guess! ! ! 】
