However, with the excavation of the ruins of Taijia Temple in Funan County, Anhui Province, it was confirmed that it was cast here in the middle of the Shang Dynasty. In addition, a statue with the same shape and decorative layout was unearthed from the No.1 sacrificial pit of Sanxing Dui in Guanghan, Sichuan Province, but it was a little later and relatively crude, dated in the early and middle Yin Ruins (late Shang Dynasty).

The coiling dragon pattern was one of the decorative patterns on bronze ware, also known as the " coiling dragon pattern." The dragon's torso was curled, with its head and tail connected, or in a spiral shape. The dragon's body was coiled into a circle with the dragon's head as the center. It was often decorated in the center of the plate. It was popular at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. From the Yin Ruins to the Warring States Period, bronze ware had such decorations, but the image structure was different. Sometimes, the dragon's head would be made into a three-dimensional shape to make it more artistic. When used individually, this type of coiling dragon pattern could also be called the " Coiling Dragon Pattern ". The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting.

It opened its mouth and curled its lips. There was a squarish decoration on its forehead, two round decorations on its head, and two small ears or horns. One of the dragon's heads had a smooth forehead, while the other was full of small bumps. The dragon scales on its back were bas-reliefs with heavy ring patterns. The dragon scales near the tail were cast with thin threads, becoming thinner and smaller. There were four parts of the dragon's body that were connected to its claws.

Bronze horses had different characteristics in different periods. The bronze horse from the Warring States Period was 29cm tall and was a male horse. It stood upright with its ears erect and its nostrils wide open, as if it was panting. The shape of the horse's head was delicate and vivid, and the body showed its fat and strong body. There was a knot on the ponytail, which was a funerary object. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, royal guards and chariots and horses were often unearthed from the tombs of nobles. At that time, the animal images in the tombs were mostly shaped like crafts, or used as containers or as seats. By the Warring States Period, various funerary objects appeared. Although the shapes were ancient and clumsy, it marked the emergence of a new funeral system and laid the foundation for the development of pottery funerary objects in later generations. In September 1969, a bronze horse was unearthed in the tomb of Leitai, Xinxian Village, Jinyang Town, Wuwei City, Gansu Province. It was 34.5 cm high, 45 cm long, and its four hooves were in the air. There were 99 bronze chariots and horses unearthed from Leitai Tomb in Wuwei, where the bronze horse was located, including 38 horses, 1 cow, 14 chariots, 17 warrior figurines and 29 slave horse figurines. In November 2003, a bronze horse was unearthed from Tomb 26 of the Han Dynasty tombs in Fengmenling, Hepu, Guangxi Province. It was 94.8 cm high and 98.8 cm long. The head of the horse neighed. Its eyes were wide open, its ears were sharp, its upper and lower lips were wide and wide, and its mouth was open to reveal its teeth. Its front legs were straight and raised on the right side. Its hind legs were slightly bent, and its tail was bent as if it wanted to run forward. It was composed of seven parts, head, body, tail and legs. Ancient craftsmen first cast them separately and then pieced them together. A bronze horse from the Eastern Han Dynasty unearthed in Fangling Village, Xushui District in 1981. It was 1.16 meters high and 70 centimeters long. There were two horses, one with a straight neck and the other with a curved neck. They weighed about 51 kilograms. Their ears, head, body, and legs were cast separately and assembled tightly. It was a national first-class cultural relic and had been exhibited abroad many times. There were also bronze horses abroad. For example, the New York City's Metropolis Museum of Art had a bronze horse from the 8th century B.C. in Greece. There was a bronze horse that was first purchased in 1923 and was identified as an early classical masterpiece of the 5th century B.C. Its authenticity was later questioned due to technical reasons. After scientific analysis, including thermoluminescent measurements of the clay core, its authenticity was confirmed. Now, based on the understanding of the early style of Hellenized art, it was more likely to be identified as a late Hellenized work. In the classical period, these large statues were mainly religious in nature. In the Hellenistic era, they had other uses, such as decorating private houses or making them for the Roman art market.

At the age of 80, the founder of Heavens Reaching Church,"Heavens Reaching Ancestor", had comprehended Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" and integrated it into his lifetime's martial arts. He believed that the Daoist scripture was comparable to the Marrow Cleansing Scripture created by Shaolin Bodhidharma, and even better than the Tendon Changing Scripture and the Golden Bell Shield. When used, it could change the color of the wind and clouds, and it could bring the martial arts to the highest realm. The Taoist scriptures contained many types of mental cultivation methods, such as quiet inaction (cultivating inner Qi), great ingenuity but clumsy, metal breaking with hardness, and smooth but not reverse.(Its movement is like water, it is soft and strong), if it is used, it will not be damaged (if it is used, it will not be damaged), and the opposite is the movement of Tao.(The use of the weak's Tao can remove strength), accumulation of softness makes hardness (accumulation of weakness makes strength), sage holds one (The World Style, the highest cultivation technique), Imperial Wind Movement (Body Movement Technique), Soldier (Inauspicious Weapon, Hidden Move), Human Law Earth (Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows Dao, Dao follows Nature, and can borrow the Qi of Nature), Catkin in the Wind (Dispel Force), Dao Chang Wuwei (All Things Self-Transform, Can Heal), Light and Dust, Reverse Heaven and Earth (Leg Technique), Catkin in the Wind (Lightness Skill), Dao Mystery (Mysterious), Using Nothing to Change (Weakness triumphs over strength, softness triumphs over hardness), Traveling Around Without Peril (Can be the Mother of Heaven and Earth), Dao as Things (There are images in it), and so on. Different people had different developments and fusions of Daoist scriptures. For example, the Iron Ancestor created the Xuanyuan Shocking Heaven Art from the Taoist scriptures, the Heavenly Lord of the Origin created the Pangu Heavenly Shock, and the Heavenly Lord of Guangfa created the Fuxi Heaven Seeking Book. Tie Linggong merged the Taoist scripture Xuanyuan Art into the Taoist scripture Xuanyuan, which was upgraded to the realm of divine power and holy pulse; Chiyou merged the Taoist scripture into the Pan Gu Heavenly Shock, which was upgraded to the new realm of "Gravitational Chaos", and even reverse-cultivated the Taoist scripture into the Demon Scripture; and Manjusri cultivated the Divine Scripture. The old Celestial Venerable also had a lot of experience in the Taoist Sutra. At first, he needed to consume the sarira to activate the power of the Taoist Sutra. He could use it without the sarira after taking the Ten-thousand-year-old King of Ginseng. However, at first, he only used it as a defensive power. Later, after a series of events, such as the study of the Li Fire Scripture and the Li Fire Ancient Sword, and the experience with the Machete God and other figures, the Taoist Sutra Xuanyuan gradually improved to different realms such as the Divine Level Power, the Divine Power Level, and the Divine Pulse Level.
