The national treasure, the grape flower and bird pattern silver sachet
The Tang Dynasty grape flower and bird pattern silver sachet is a cultural relic of the Tang Dynasty. It was unearthed in 1970 in Hejia Village, the southern suburb of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. It is now collected in the "Hejia Village Cellar Cultural Relics Exhibition" of Shaanxi History Museum. Its outer diameter was 4.6 centimeters, the golden incense bowl was 2.8 centimeters in diameter, and the chain was 7.5 centimeters long. The outer wall of the sachet was made of silver and was spherical in shape. The whole body was hollow. The middle horizontal line was divided into two halves. Between the upper and lower spheres, one side was hooked with a hook chain, and the other side was sheathed with a live shaft. There were two layers of silver concentric rings in the lower sphere, which were used to set off solid spices. Inside, there were two concentric rings and a golden incense bowl that contained spices. The outer wall was decorated with patterns of grapes and flowers, which had a beautiful meaning of having many children. The balancing device inside the sachet was similar to the principle of a pendulum. This principle was only introduced to Europe at the end of the 15th century, and it was still widely used in many fields such as navigation and aviation. It could be seen how advanced this application was in the Tang Dynasty. Its internal structure was designed in a scientific and ingenious way. The three-layer structure was riveted by silver nails and could rotate freely. No matter how the outer shell ball rotated, the golden bowl would always maintain its center of gravity downwards due to gravity, and the spices would not spill. Its manufacturing process was complicated. It used a combination of hammering, carving, hollowing, gilding, and other methods. First, the gold and silver blocks were repeatedly hammered to a suitable thickness, and then hammered into the required shape through the mold. Then, the basic pattern was outlined with the chisel carving process (the thinnest part of the pattern was less than 1 mm), and after the hollowing process was completed, gold gilding was added. According to historical documents, Volume 51 of the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty mentioned that An Lushan rebelled. Xuanzong fled Chang 'an and passed through Mawei Slope to give Yang Guifei a death and buried her here. Later, Xuanzong secretly ordered a change of burial and found that the body had rotted, but the sachet was intact. This indicated that the sachet worn by Yang Guifei was made of metal. Although it was not certain whether Yang Guifei had worn this sachet, experts confirmed that the silver sachet worn by Yang Guifei in historical documents was the same thing as this Tang grape flower and bird pattern silver sachet. In addition, sachets in the Tang Dynasty could also be used for Buddhist affairs. People believed that carrying Buddhist scriptures in sachets could eliminate disasters and ward off evil spirits. The sachet unearthed in the underground palace of the Fa Men Temple had the same shape and function as the sachet unearthed in He Jia Village, which also confirmed that this cultural relic was a sachet and not an incense vessel as previously thought.

A brief introduction to the Tang Dynasty grape flower and bird pattern silver sachet
The Tang Dynasty grape flower and bird pattern silver sachet is a cultural relic of the Tang Dynasty. It was unearthed in 1970 in Hejia Village, the southern suburb of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. It is now stored in the "Hejia Village Cellar Cultural Relics Exhibition" of Shaanxi History Museum. Its outer diameter was 4.6 centimeters, the golden incense bowl was 2.8 centimeters in diameter, and the chain was 7.5 centimeters long. The outer wall of the sachet was a silver sphere. It was hollow and consisted of two halves, one upper and one lower, which were fastened together by a mother-son buckle. Inside, there were two concentric rings and a golden incense bowl. The rings and the incense bowl were bolted together with silver nails, allowing them to rotate freely. The outer wall was decorated with grape flower and bird patterns, which had beautiful meanings, such as having many children, bumper harvests, auspicious wealth, etc. The grape patterns also reflected the cultural transmission and exchange of the Silk Road. The fragrance pouch used the pivot suspension method in physics. The internal leveling device was similar to the principle of a thermometer. No matter how the external sphere rotated, the machine ring made the fragrance bowl rotate simultaneously. The center of gravity of the fragrance bowl remained unchanged to prevent the fragrance from spilling out. The application of this principle was very advanced at that time, thousands of years earlier than the West. The craftsmanship of the sachet was exquisite. The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty made full use of the characteristics of the material, using hammering, carving, hollowing, gilding and other methods. The gold and silver blocks were first knocked to a suitable thickness, then knocked into a concave and concave shape, outlining the basic pattern (the thinnest part of the pattern was less than 1 mm), hollowed out and gilded. When it was first unearthed, it was mistaken for an incense vessel. In 1987, a sachet unearthed from the underground palace of the Fa Men Temple had the same shape and function as it, so it was renamed as a sachet. Although it was not certain whether Yang Guifei had worn it before, experts believed that the silver sachet worn by Yang Guifei in historical documents was the same thing.

The national treasure-level blue flower is worth billions
Some of the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty were sold at extremely high prices in the auction market.
