The Gaoming Dragon Kiln of the Tang Dynasty was discovered in 1957. In 1986 and 1987, the No. 1 and No. 2 kilns were excavated respectively, and more than 1,000 pieces of Tang Dynasty pottery were unearthed. Due to the serious damage to the No. 1 kiln, it was backfilled for protection. In 1988, an exhibition hall was built on top of the No. 2 kiln. This was a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit. Judging from the unearthed pottery and photos displayed in the exhibition hall, the level of firing was limited at that time. For example, the most unearthed pottery bowls were of different sizes, irregular shapes, and random glaze colors. Most of the pottery unearthed was ordinary pottery bowls, but some larger and better pottery were sent to the Guangdong Province Museum for collection. On December 11th, 2013, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a 78.8-meter-long dragon kiln in the site. This was the longest preserved remains of the Tang Dynasty dragon kiln discovered so far.

The ancient kiln belonged to the category of ancient cultural heritage among immovable cultural relics. Cultural relics protection is a series of measures to prevent the damage of historical relics with historical value, cultural value and scientific value. For the protection of immovable cultural relics such as ancient kilns, the principle of not changing the original state of cultural relics and the principle of minimum intervention should be adhered to, so as to preserve the historical information and historical value of cultural relics to the greatest extent. To be specific, repairs, maintenance, relocation, and other work must follow these principles. From the management level, the State Administration of Cultural Relics was in charge of the national cultural relics protection work, the provincial cultural relics bureau was in charge of the provincial cultural relics protection work, and the cultural relics administrative departments of the people's governments of various states, cities, counties (cities) were in charge of the local cultural relics protection work. At the same time, towns and villages can set up cultural relics protection leading groups to be responsible for the protection of cultural relics and the organization and management of cultural relics protectors; villages can set up cultural relics protection groups to be responsible for the protection of cultural relics within the village. Various places are also exploring various ways of protection and utilization, such as holding cultural activities, exhibition and other forms to deeply excavate the historical meaning of the ancient kiln, tell historical stories and inherit cultural value; It can also extend the cultural tourism industry chain, promote the integration of ancient kiln cultural relics and tourism, make cultural relics "live" and "fire", let more people understand the history and culture behind the ancient kiln, and make the achievements of cultural relics protection more beneficial to the people. In addition, the protection of cultural relics was a dynamic protection process, which should be presented at the legal and policy level. Since the implementation of the Cultural Relics Protection Law in 1982, it had been revised five times, which also provided legal basis and guarantee for the protection of ancient kilns. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
This sentence had the problem of word order reversal and unclear meaning. The revised sentence was: " These are unearthed cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty." In the original sentence, the word order of "unearthed in the Tang Dynasty" was wrong. The normal logic should be "unearthed" first and then indicate the dynasty "Tang Dynasty" that the cultural relic belonged to. At the same time, the original sentence "these sugar these" was wordy and unclear. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Tang Feng cultural relics had a unique artistic style and historical value. The following were some typical Tang Dynasty relics: - ** Calligraphy and Painting Category **: - **<<The Sixth Incomplete Volume of Shi Shuo Xin Shu>>(Tang Dynasty)**: This is a paper copy. It is 27.1 centimeters long and 397.0 centimeters wide. It is a copy of <<Shi Shuo Xin Shu>> written by Liu Yiqing during the Six Dynasties of China. It was probably copied in the Tang Dynasty and is currently the oldest copy known. The writing style was elegant and powerful, with a unique typography format. Moreover, due to the addition of ancient Japanese symbols to interpret ancient China characters, it could be seen that it had been introduced to Japan very early on. This reflected the influence of the Tang Dynasty in cultural communication, and its calligraphy also reflected the characteristics of the writing style at that time. - ** Tang Feng Tu (Southern Song Dynasty Ma He edition)**: Silk book with light colors, 28.7 cm high, 827.1 cm long, a total of 12 sections. It is based on the 12 chapters of the Book of Songs, Tang Feng, and is now in the Museum of Liaoning Province, the National Museum of Kyoto in Japan, and the Palace Museum in Beijing. It used a vivid artistic image to interpret the originally difficult to understand "Tang Feng" poem. The composition was refined, and the picture concept, artistic conception, and shape were all unique. From the side, it reflected the influence of the Tang Dynasty culture on the later painting creation in terms of material selection and artistic expression. - Exhibits such as famous paintings and calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty in the exhibition "Seeing the Tang Dynasty Again" held in the Liaoning Province Museum, such as "The Painting of Lady Guo's Spring Tour"(a copy of the Northern Song Dynasty, depicting the scene of the Tang Dynasty) and "The Painting of a Beautiful Woman with Hairpins". These paintings showed the high achievements of the Tang Dynasty in the art of painting, including the character modeling, color application, and picture layout. They all reflected the characteristics of Tang Feng's grace and grandeur. - ** Sculpture category **: - The Ten Thousand Buddha Hall of Zhenguo Temple in Pingyao, Shanxi Province was one of the few existing ancient buildings in Shanxi Province that still retained the Tang Dynasty style. The colored sculptures in the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall are the only colored sculptures from the Five Dynasties period that have been preserved in our country. Although it was the Five Dynasties period, because it was relatively close to the Tang Dynasty, the architectural style and colored sculpture art still retained the charm of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the architectural structure may continue the wooden construction skills of the Tang Dynasty, and the colored sculpture may retain the shadow of the Tang Dynasty style in terms of character shaping and clothing. - ** Arts and Crafts **: - Xi'an Museum recommended the Tang Dynasty gold-gilded lady hunting pattern eight-petal silver cup and other imitation cultural relics and crafts. From the original point of view, this kind of gold and silver ware reflected the superb craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty, including the gilding process and the carving of figures and hunting scenes on the ware. It reflected the social life style of the Tang Dynasty and the absorption and integration of foreign cultures. It had distinct Tang style characteristics in the shape and decoration. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

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>
After the Qing army entered the pass, many things happened to the cultural relics. First of all, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty had accumulated a large number of cultural relics. For example, Emperor Qianlong was keen on collecting treasures, using imperial edicts to make collectors pay tribute or symbolic money to "purchase" and other means. A large number of treasures were collected in the Forbidden City. The origins of these cultural relics were complicated. Some of them were plundered from the people, and a considerable number of them were famous, highly regarded, and "prominent" treasures that were presented to the royal family. Secondly, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, cultural relics faced the problem of loss. After the Revolution of 1911, because the "Preferential Conditions for the Qing Dynasty" did not clearly define the boundaries between "public property" and "private property", the royal family of the Qing Dynasty regarded many items in the palace as "private property of the royal family". After the last emperor, Pu Yi, abdicated, the members of the royal family and the officials stole and resold the collection of the Forbidden City. Although more than 110,000 cultural relics were transported from Rehe Palace and Shengjing Palace to Beijing's Antiquities Exhibition Center in 1913 - 1914, the acquisition of cultural relics soon stopped due to the lack of financial resources of the Republic of China government. Moreover, the Imperial Palace in Shenyanghad some unique cultural relics after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. The Imperial Palace in Shenyang was the imperial palace of the early Qing Dynasty. It displayed the palace relics left behind by the old palace, such as Nurhachi's sword, Huang Taiji's waist knife, and antler chair. Many of them could not be seen in the Imperial Palace in Beijing. In addition, Yuanmingyuan was also an important place to store cultural relics during the Qing Dynasty. During the Daoguang period, the Ministry of Internal Affairs recorded the storage quantity of some treasures in Yuanmingyuan, such as silver, Ruyi, jade inkstone, brush washing, porcelain furnace, bottles, jars, etc., respectively in the palace and Yuanmingyuan. However, Yuanmingyuan was later destroyed by the foreign powers. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Qianling Tomb was the joint tomb of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. It preserved a large number of cultural relics reflecting the cultural exchanges between China and the West in the Tang Dynasty. The first was the stone inscriptions of Qianling Mausoleum. There were large stone carvings distributed in Qianling Cemetery. These stone carvings had obvious Central Asian artistic features in their shapes, which were historical witnesses of the friendly exchanges between the Chinese nation and the people of Central Asian countries. For example, the winged horse on the west side of Sima Road in Qianling was strong and straight, showing the carving style of Gandhara (located in northwest India) with its overlapping edges. The winged horse on the east side of Sima Road in Qianling was round and delicate, which was the concrete embodiment of the stone carving style of Ajanta (Buddhist grottoes built during the Peacock Dynasty in India in the century B.C.). There was also a pair of high embossed ostriches on the third row from south to north on both sides of Sima Dao. Ostriches originally appeared in the deserts of West Asia and were carved as a symbol of foreign countries. These cultural relics of Qianling show that the culture of the Tang Dynasty was deeply influenced by the culture of Central Asia, reflecting the frequent cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries at that time. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
