Y: Generally speaking, they are a pair with the same shape. It is about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide. A cuboid with a hole in it can be hung by a rope. Around the outer wall, there are two lines of 34-word official script inscriptions * * *. The general inscription reads: "The first month is in the center, and the spirit is dying in all directions. Red, blue, white and yellow, when are the four colors? The emperor ordered Zhu Rong to teach Solanum nigrum I dare to be a plague-ridden person. " Mr. You Rende once used the modern seven-character rhyme to explain: "On the first day of the first month, ghosts and ghosts are the center, and spiritual spells are carved on all sides. Red, blue, white and yellow silk are suitable for four emperors and four gods. The Emperor of Heaven ordered Zhu Rong to be dismissed and taught him to tame the god Solanum nigrum. I can't stand it except ghost diseases. " Mao Gang's handwriting is an ancient calligraphy, which is difficult to recognize. Some are rigid, using Han Li or Xiao Zhuan.
Mao Gang was popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was copied in all previous dynasties after the Song Dynasty. So far, the tombs of the Han Dynasty have been carved with the finest Hetian jade, and the makers of other jade materials may be imitations of later generations. Moreover, it is generally believed that any font can be read by readers clearly, and it is also forged by later generations.
Jade Weng Zhong: Flat and long, it is a semi-circular sculpture with simple shape, and is often carved into a standing adult. The face is long and different from ordinary people, with solemn facial expression, no beard, high crown on the top of the head, wide collar corset, and long skirt with right collar sweeping the floor in a chicken cage shape. The facial features and the outline of clothes are represented by thick lines cut by the oblique grinding method of "Han Ba Dao", and the knife work is concise and sharp. In the Han Dynasty, Weng Zhong was passed through a herringbone tunnel, from the top of the head to the abdomen, and then came out from both sides of the waist in two ways, so that Weng Zhong could stand upright when hanging. At present, most people who imitate Weng Zhong in Ming and Qing Dynasties are bearded old people. Weng Zhong's intaglio lines are soft and dull, and the whole body is made into a straight tube shape, which is extremely stiff, unlike the real thing, which is layered and overly natural. After Weng Zhong-type perforation, there are some vertical holes, which are through holes; There is also an inverted "D" hole, from the top of the head to the sides of the waist, not a "human" hole.
About "Weng Zhong" and the intention of making this image, it was not clear until the Ming Dynasty. According to Tong Mingzhi, Weng Zhong, surnamed Ruan, was born in Qin 'an, with a length of 10 foot and a brave temperament, which was different from ordinary people. The first emperor and the world, make Weng Zhong will. After Weng Zhong's death, bronze was cast into his statue. Through this record, we can know that Weng Zhong was a majestic and brave general in Qin Dynasty, and he used his image as an ornament to ward off evil spirits.
Yus Nanpei, a unique shape in the Han Dynasty, is a flat cuboid with an I-shape, which is divided into upper and lower floors. Two rectangular columns are connected and there are grooves around the waist. Cut a teaspoon on the top and a small dish on the bottom. The whole device has no lines. In the concave part in the middle or the handle of the spoon, there is a vertical crossing or penetrating hole that can be hung through. Some scholars believe that its upper part is one of Sina's components, the middle is the Chinese character pendant commonly used in the Han Dynasty, and the lower part is one of Sina's components. Sina is a guiding instrument invented by China in ancient times, which is made of magnetic field. It is used to set the north and south to the positive direction. When the wind of divination prevailed in the Han Dynasty, divination became a tool to measure bad luck. So people imitated the shape of Sina, changed the utility into an ornament, and cut it into a small Yu Pei with the shape of Sina at the top, and took it with them to ward off evil spirits and overcome victory, so there was a Sina match. Judging from the unique concave outline of Sinapei's main body and the role of the wearer, this may be an evolutionary figure that later generations deliberately flattened and shrunk Jade Cong in order to obtain some religious significance from Liangzhu Jade Cong. In addition to the significance of exorcism and victory, Sinan Pei also has the significance of guidance, which is extended to extensive knowledge. Yang's preface to the sound and meaning of the Book of Jin records: "Studying the biographies of philosophers, reading the group words and studying the similarities and differences are enough to enrich the emperor's interest and think of the south for scholars."
Sinanpei was the most popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty, then gradually declined, and there was imitation after the Song Dynasty. In Song Dynasty, Sinanpei's paintings were mostly osmanthus flowers and cow hair patterns. The patina is good, and the description of each part of the appliance is transitional and natural. In the Ming Dynasty, Si Nanpei painted tough lines, sharp edges and corners, careless details, I-shaped or cylindrical, good polishing technology and strong glass light sensitivity. There is also Sinanpei in the Qing Dynasty, whose main features are large size, diverse and innovative modeling, fine polishing and exquisite polishing. Instead of the traditional top spoon shape, some are bird-shaped and some are square. The groove at the waist is deep, and the edges and corners of the body are smooth and shiny. Those with holes can be used as decorations, and those without holes can be used as decorations.
I don't think they wear it together. It has the function of exorcism.
