On the cultural exchange between China and the west in the Tang Dynasty from the cultural relics of Qianling mausoleum
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.

China cultural relics valuation
There were a large number of cultural relics in China, and their types were complicated. It was difficult to make a general estimate of their value. Different cultural relics varied greatly due to factors such as age, rarity, preservation, and artistic value. For example, the Xijia plate, which was a national treasure of China Zhou Dynasty, was valued by experts at 210 million yuan, and the mahjong used by Puyi was valued by experts at 200 million yuan. However, this was only the valuation of a very small number of cultural relics. There were also a large number of cultural relics, from ordinary ancient porcelain, paintings, to precious bronze ware, jade ware, etc., whose value ranged from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of millions of yuan. Moreover, the value of a cultural relic was not only determined by money, but also by its history, culture, art, science, and many other aspects. These values together constituted the significance of a cultural relic. In addition, a large number of China cultural relics were lost overseas, and it was difficult to accurately calculate the value of cultural relics in foreign museum. These cultural relics ranged from bronze ritual vessels in the Pre-Qin period to famous paintings and various rare treasures in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. They were all extremely valuable, but due to the large number and complicated situation, it was impossible to give an accurate overall valuation. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

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>

Cultural Relics 4
The "four possessions" of cultural relics referred to the necessary protection scope, marking instructions, establishing records and archives, and setting up special protection and management agencies around the cultural protection unit. In 1961, the State Council approved the publication of the "Temporary Regulations on the Protection and Administration of Cultural Relics" for the first time, and in 1982, the State Council promulgated the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics" for the first time in the form of law. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics, which was revised in 2017, also pointed out: "The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and cities directly under the Central Government, as well as the people's governments of cities and counties, respectively, shall define the necessary scope of protection for cultural relics protection units, make signs and descriptions, establish records and archives, and set up specialized agencies or special personnel to manage them according to the circumstances. The scope of protection and the records of the key cultural relics protected throughout the country shall be reported to the cultural relics administration department of the State Council for the record by the cultural relics administration department of the people's government of the province, autonomous region, or directly under the Central Government.

The contents of the archives involve all aspects of cultural relics protection. The scientific, complete and detailed "Four Haves" archives can provide complete information for the cultural relics protection unit in the protection, utilization, management and publicity of cultural relics, and can also provide reliable evidence for the restoration of cultural relics accidentally damaged by the cultural relics protection unit. In terms of filing, the national cultural relics protection unit shall file according to the requirements of the National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit Record Archives Work Code and the National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit Record Archives Description.
