Ancient cultural relics bear witness
Ancient artifacts were the witnesses of the development of human civilization. Different types of ancient artifacts reflected the social situation at that time in various aspects. In terms of materials, there were stone artifacts, pottery, bronze artifacts, ironware, lacquer ware, etc. These cultural relics of different materials reflected the production technology and craftsmanship of humans in different periods. For example, the emergence of bronzes symbolized the significant development of mankind's smelting technology. Its large number of appearances, different shapes, and uses in the Shang, Zhou, and Qin and Han Dynasties reflected the highly developed bronze culture at that time. For example, the bronzes in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties were mostly used for important occasions such as sacrificial ceremonies. Their shapes were solemn and mysterious, reflecting the religious beliefs and social hierarchy at that time. From a geographical perspective, ancient artifacts all over the world had their own unique characteristics. In China, for example, the jade dragon of the Hongshan culture, a typical representative cultural relic of the prehistoric Hongshan culture site, showed that the Chinese people had exquisite jade craftsmanship more than 5000 years ago. The crown of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the "Golden Wing Crown", was hand-woven from extremely fine gold thread. It weighed 826 grams, reflecting the superb craftsmanship of the time. His funerary objects, the golden cover and the golden jade bowl, all reflected the craftsmanship and culture of the Ming Dynasty. Foreign ancient artifacts were also unique. For example, the Sabu disc of ancient Egypt, although its use was unknown, its shape was strange. There was also the chain armor used by the 18th Sultan of Egypt, which reflected the military equipment of ancient Egypt. The bronze sculptures of Rome and the bronze tourniquets used by ancient Roman soldiers were all witnesses of ancient Roman civilization. Ancient artifacts also witnessed the changes in the way humans lived. In the 15th century, women's "Chopin shoes" were designed to protect women's clothes because Europe lacked sewer systems and the streets were full of filth. The leather diving suits in the early 18th century reflected the people's attempts at underwater exploration at that time. The 19th century Inuit's otter amulet reflected the Inuit's cultural customs and beliefs. In addition, there were also some suspected fakes in ancient artifacts. For example, in foreign archaeological excavation, some cultural relics were dug up not long after they were buried, and even modern products appeared in ancient sites. For example, the clay tablet with the simplified Chinese character "Jim is here" was found in the ancient Roman ruins of 1600 years ago in a British village. This obviously did not conform to historical facts and reflected the seriousness and importance of ancient cultural relics identification. In short, ancient artifacts had witnessed the development of human society, changes, technological progress, and cultural characteristics of different regions with their unique existence. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Cultural relics witness the history of anti-epidemic
In the course of ancient anti-epidemic, cultural relics witnessed the wisdom and measures of the ancients against the epidemic. Since the Pre-Qin period, there had been many ways to deal with the epidemic, such as isolating the source of infection, treating it with drugs, and dealing with the corpses of the dead. These could all be reflected in cultural relics. In terms of isolating the source of infection, the Qin Dynasty established an epidemic reporting system. If there was a suspected infectious disease case in the village, it had to be reported. The imperial court sent doctors to examine and treat the relevant personnel, and took quarantine measures.

The ruins and cultural relics related to these institutions were all witnesses of the ancients 'isolation and anti-epidemic.

Many prescriptions in the book still played a role in modern health care. This work has been passed down to this day as a cultural relic to witness the achievements of anti-epidemic drugs at that time. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong's "Emergency Recipes for Elbow Reserve" recorded the prescriptions for preventing epidemic diseases. In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao not only summarized the prescriptions for treating infectious diseases, but also proposed methods such as applying drugs and disinfecting in wells. These medical books were cultural relics or had corresponding versions of inheritance, which witnessed the wisdom of medicine against epidemic diseases at that time. According to the Rites of Zhou, since the Pre-Qin period, whenever there was a major epidemic, the government would usually bury the corpses of the deceased to prevent infection. Although there might not be any special cultural relics directly related to the disposal of corpses, the records in ancient literature were also a kind of cultural relic evidence. These cultural relics witnessed the history of epidemic prevention in ancient times and carried the essence of the thoughts and moral essence of the ancestors 'epidemic prevention and treatment. They still had positive reference significance for today. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
