"High profit is dangerous, and long profit is off the ground." In the eyes of ancient people in China, the crown is not only a symbol of status, but also a display of one's own integrity. The crown is upright and tall, which means that the person wearing it is elegant. This is why Qu was loudly crowned when he was framed by traitors. However, if arranged according to the precious degree of crowns, in feudal society, the most distinguished crowns are of course the crown worn by the emperor and the rockhopper worn by the queen.
What were the crowns and crowns of the Tang Dynasty like? Ancient books recorded it as a circular golden crown surrounded by Kowloon (Phoenix), with patterns of fairy grass and ganoderma lucidum clouds. This is a masterpiece made by master craftsmen through exquisite cutting, polishing and riveting. Unfortunately, due to the ravages of grave robbers, a large number of tombs of Tang emperors were stolen. The crests and crests of the Tang Dynasty have not been found so far. At present, the most precious crown in the Tang Dynasty is the "Three Liang Crown" worn by the official Xu Shiqi.
As one of the twenty-four outstanding figures in Lingyange, Xu Shiqi is different from others. He changed his name twice because of two emperors. At first, he won the trust of Gaozu, was given the surname Li, and changed his name to. After Li Shimin came to power, Emperor Taizong changed his name to Li Ji for the sake of taboo. Li Ji is a good soldier, and he has made great contributions to the world. Since he followed Shi Biao to Li Tang, he has fought in the world with two emperors, and has repeatedly made meritorious military service. Finally, he achieved three things in the same book (equivalent to the prime minister).
197 1 year, the staff of the 18th Mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty, namely Zhaoling Mausoleum in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, faced severe work. In order to carry out local construction, it is necessary to carry out protective excavation of Li Mausoleum. In the course of experts' work, they found many stolen caves in the mausoleum, which were seriously damaged, not to mention finding valuable cultural relics. Just as the cultural relics workers were about to be disappointed, an old expert made a new discovery in the soil next to the coffin.
Experts found a piece of rotten leather in the soil under the coffin. After careful study, experts used modern 3D technology to restore it, and found that it was a crown, and the materials it used turned out to be copper alloy and leather. This crown is made of leather with copper as the skeleton. In addition to the leather, there are creeping flowers with hollow leather. There are three gold-plated copper beams at the top and three pairs of symmetrical hollowed-out flowers on both sides, which look very graceful and noble.
Experts have never seen this kind of Tang dynasty crown. In the process of consulting ancient books, they finally found the relevant records in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty: "Taizong often used hoes from the next week to make the martial arts retreat from the world, and explored the ancient system as a wing fan crown. He also entered Germany and gave it to your minister. " The crown of Li Ji's tomb should be the crown of entering Germany, and according to different ranks, Tang Guan has three beams, two beams and one beam, so this hat should be the "crown of three beams entering Germany".
Sadly, although Li Ji made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty, he was suppressed because his grandson Xu Jingye rebelled against Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian ordered the extermination of nine families in Xu Jingye, and even Li Ji, who was buried in the grave, failed to escape punishment. Li Ji's grave was dug up, his bones were whipped and rotted, and the three Liang Jinde crowns originally placed in the grave were completely destroyed. This also explains why there were no bones in the coffin when experts found Li Ji's tomb. However, after the death of Wu Zetian, Zhongzong acceded to the throne, bearing in mind Li Ji's meritorious deeds, he buried Li Ji and gave him a new triple crown of Liang Jinde, that is, this precious cultural relic we are seeing now.
A crown of Sanliang Jinde, representing distinguished status, was almost destroyed because it was not recognized by experts. Thousands of years later, the three jinliang de Krones in the mausoleum have become "decadent things", but they have successfully blinded the eyes of grave robbers. Only after the experts got this nondescript cultural relic can we see this crown, which turned "decadence" into a magical crown. This is a miracle in the field of cultural relics and the charm of archaeology.
