Southern Song Dynasty cotton carpet cultural relics
The Southern Song cotton carpet was a very valuable cultural relic. The cotton blanket was 2.51 meters long, 1.16 meters wide, and weighed 1600 grams. It was white and was woven purely from cotton. The warp and woof were uniform. It was made of double-sided napping technology. It was dense, thick, and soft. There were originally 81 copper coins on the blanket, but due to the decay of the copper wires and the search by people, only traces of rust were left on the copper coins. These copper coins were originally arranged in six interconnected diamond patterns. To make such a blanket, not only did it require a custom-made textile machine, but it also required at least two people to operate it together. They had to take turns to pick the shuttle left and right, and one of them had to take care of the weaving. According to the cocklebur found in the coffin, after the cotton blanket was woven, a brush embedded with cocklebur was used to make the surface of the blanket fluffy. This cotton blanket was the earliest and most complete cotton blanket discovered in China. It was made of kapok (also known as "Chinese cotton", a type of Asian cotton), and its quality was higher than the African cotton planted in Xinjiang during the Western Han Dynasty. The discovery of the cotton blanket rewrote part of the history of the textile industry because it was more than 120 years before Huang Daopo spread the cotton textile technology. This cotton carpet cultural relic was unearthed in an ancient tomb in Lanxi, Zhejiang Province. The owner of the tomb was a court woman during the Southern Song Dynasty. There was a remnant of the court woman's identity certificate "Gao Shen" in the tomb as a burial item. Read more exciting novels for free

The four famous porcelain of the Song Dynasty (Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding) and the Song porcelain of the civilian kiln (Jun, Yixing, Tianqing, celadon, etc.) all had high collection value. Among them, the celadon of the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln was especially precious. Due to the uncertainty of the kiln site, the number of celadon in existence was limited and the price was relatively high. At that time, the porcelain of Jingdezhen kiln, Jizhou kiln and Ding kiln produced by ordinary folk kiln were also highly respected. They were regarded as gifts and luxury goods by the royal family and dignitaries, with high collection value. The paintings and calligraphy of the Northern Song Dynasty were also an important part of the antique market.

Their works were profound and unique in style, and they attracted much attention from the market because of their royal background.

The bronze, gold and silver ware of the Northern Song Dynasty also had a high market value. The Song Dynasty had developed casting techniques. The bronze products were exquisite and elegant in shape. For example, the Song furnace had unique craftsmanship and gorgeous patterns, which were highly praised. Although the number of gold and silver ware was limited, in the prosperous Song Dynasty, the gold and silver ware owned by nobles and rich merchants had a high value. The ancient coins of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shaosheng Tongbao, generally had a relatively low value. The value of the ninth grade was about 150 yuan, and the value of the poor quality was about 15 - 80 yuan. However, the value of rare items such as iron or copper could reach tens of thousands of yuan. The price of Shaosheng Yuanbao iron could be between 345,000 - 3450,000 yuan.

Han Dynasty cultural relics
The cultural relics of the Han Dynasty were rich in content and of great significance. In terms of jade ware, the jade wall of the Han Dynasty was an important type of jade ware culture. It sprouted in the middle of the Neolith Age. After a long period of development, the status of jade became more prominent when the jade culture of the Han Dynasty was highly developed. Jade Bi could be divided into four categories and nine types according to its decorative patterns, and its functions could be divided into three categories and eleven types. Its functions included sacrifice, congratulations, betrothal gifts, gifts, contributions, treasures handed down from generation to generation, decorations, funerals, and so on. The Western Han Dynasty generally inherited the jade system of the Qin Dynasty and the Pre-Qin Dynasty and simplified it. The jade used in the ritual system was mainly Bi and Gui. The Eastern Han Dynasty inherited the system of the Western Han Dynasty. The emperor held the Gui Bi to worship heaven and earth, and used the jade Bi to betroth the queen. Judging from the cultural relics of the tombs, the tombs of the Han Dynasty in Hepu were of great significance. Among them, there were cultural relics such as the national treasure copper phoenix lamp, as well as the jade wall and copper warehouse of the Han Dynasty tomb in Huangnigang. The patterns and patterns on these cultural relics all contained specific meanings. For example, the bronze tripod was related to the social status and power of slaves. From some relics of the Han tombs in Hepu, traces of ancient beliefs such as fish and bird worship could be seen. The taotie pattern on the copper shop head also had its own unique meaning. In terms of daily necessities, the modern household style of the Pisces basin had the same style in the Han Dynasty, such as the copper washing of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the copper washing of the descendants of Jun Yi. There were counting tools like ivory, which appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and was still in use in the Han Dynasty. It was used for more than 2000 years until it was replaced by the abacus in the 15th century. There were also fragments of Baqiao paper from the Western Han Dynasty, indicating that people had already begun to use paper as early as the Western Han Dynasty, about two centuries before Cai Lun made paper. In terms of metal craftsmanship, the Western Han gold monster unearthed in Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province, was made of gold and shaped like a collection of various animals. It was speculated to be the top decoration of the Xiongnu crown, representing the highest level of Xiongnu metal craftsmanship at that time. In addition, the stone carving replica of a horse stepping on a Xiongnu in front of Huo Qubing's tomb in Maoling, Shaanxi Province, is the earliest and best-preserved large-scale tomb stone carving art treasure in China, demonstrating Huo Qubing's military exploits. In terms of food culture, it could be seen from the special exhibition of food culture relics of the Han Dynasty in Xuzhou that the food culture of the Han Dynasty was an important part of Chinese traditional culture. The exhibition displayed four parts of cultural relics, such as pottery wells, pottery pig pen models, livestock models, cooking utensils, tableware, wine utensils, and stone portraits of the Han Dynasty, which reflected the social values, etiquette norms, aesthetic concepts, as well as the craftsmanship and life wisdom of the ancients. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
