China's long history stretches for 5,000 years, and the successive dynasties have left behind a rich and colorful history and culture. With the change of dynasties, historical relics have become a precious carrier of ancient history. Archaeological workers found a duck-shaped bronze during the excavation in Xiangjiazhuang in Linzi, which sparked a three-day discussion. What kind of mystery does this artifact hide?
In 1966, during the construction of a construction site in Linzi District, Zibo City, Shandong Province, workers excavated a hard object wrapped in mud and were shocked to find that it was actually a bronze fragment. The construction team leader noticed that there might be an ancient tomb in this area, and quickly contacted the cultural relics department, and then the archaeological work began.
After on-site exploration and conservation excavations, archaeologists unearthed a number of valuable artifacts, including the eagle's head beam pot. But the most striking thing is a duck-shaped bronze with its peculiar shape and special features that are difficult to decipher.
This bronze is based on the form of a duck, which is round and cute, and has a miniature duck inlaid on its back. However, it is not the duck-shaped shape that attracts the attention of experts, but the comb-like object in the mouth of the duck.
Experts held a three-day workshop on this enigmatic artifact and came up with three different speculations:
The first view is that it is a drinking vessel, with a bronze duck with an empty belly that can be used to hold wine, and a duckling on its back that can be easily poured with wine. And the comb-shaped part is considered to be the outlet of the sake.
The second hypothesis is that it was a sacrificial vessel, and that it was beautifully designed not only to hold wine, but was more likely to be used in the rituals of major festivals.
The third hypothesis is that it is a type of shower, like a modern shower spout, which is used to water flowers. However, some experts have questioned this, arguing that ancient bronze objects were rarely used for such everyday uses.
After discussion, most experts believe that this duck-shaped bronze may have been a shower, but the way in which it was used remains questionable. The quality of the bronze makes it far more useful than the lightness of woodwork, and the small water inlet does not allow for flexible use, leaving experts skeptical about its true function.
