"Fanyu" copper tripod witnesses the history of Guangzhou's city construction
In recent years, the archaeological work in Guangdong has been fruitful. The successive excavations of important archaeological relics such as the Qin and Han shipyard sites, the Guangzhou Nanyue State Palace site, the tomb of the second generation of the Nanyue King in Xianggang, Guangzhou, and a large number of tombs of Han dynasty subjects have revealed many precious archaeological remains. Historical relics give modern people a chance to see the true style of Lingnan’s history and culture more than 2,000 years ago.
Specifically for this exhibition, there are four units: "Pearl of the Southern Region", "Four Universes of Light", "Gourmet Artware", and "Silk Road Prologue". From the perspectives of inheritance, integration and exchange, the appearance and characteristics of the ancient history and culture of the Lingnan area are systematically displayed under the unified vision of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The exhibition period is expected to be 3 months.
Among the precious cultural relics on display, the representative remains of seal seal mud, bronze hooks, and group jade pendants mark the identity, rank, and status of the top nobles in South Vietnam. The architectural components, coins, and wooden slips unearthed from the relics of the Nanyue Royal Palace reveal South Vietnam. The specifications of the high-end palace buildings and the true face of the luxurious life of the nobility.
The exhibition curator Zhai Shengli emphatically introduced a "fanyu" bronze tripod.
"This is a ritual vessel used in the court of the Nanyue Kingdom, with an inscription on the cover:'Fanyu, Shaonei', hence the name."
Panyu is today's Guangzhou area. After the Qin unified Lingnan, three counties of Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiang were set up in the Guangzhou area. Nanhai County was located in Panyu, which was the beginning of Guangzhou's construction.
"Since then, Panyu has become the capital of the South Vietnam. In other words, this area has long been the core of Lingnan's cultural politics. The'Panyu' bronze tripod is very helpful for understanding the history and culture of Guangzhou." Zhai Shengli said.
The silk thread jade clothing is about 10 years earlier than the gold thread jade clothing
Under the leadership of centralized politics in the Qin and Han Dynasties, various regional cultures accelerated the exchange and integration, and the same was true in the Lingnan region.
At that time, people living in Lingnan were mainly local Vietnamese residents, except for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the Central Plains.
The Yue nationality "has its own caste" and has many branches. The more important tribes include Ouyue, Nanyue, and Luoyue.
The practical systems and ethnic policies such as Han-Vietnam intermarriage, entering the country according to the customs, and adapting measures to local conditions have laid the foundation for economic development, cultural exchanges and ethnic integration in the Lingnan region.
The successful ethnic policy and prosperous trade exchanges have made the various cultures of Lingnan present a good interactive mode.
At that time, what did Lingnan people like to eat?
Due to the tremendous development of social productivity and rapid development of agriculture, food resources have been developed to a greater degree than before, which laid the material foundation for the prosperity of Lingnan's food culture.
The local people have begun to cook delicious dishes using various methods such as watering, cooking, baking, insolation, smoking, air-drying, freezing, salting, and fermentation.
In terms of funeral customs, the silk jade garment on display is quite eye-catching.
The owner of this jade garment is Zhao Ying, the grandson of the second emperor of the Southern Yue Kingdom and the founding emperor Zhao Tuo.
Experts speculate that the jade clothing was made in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (122 BC), about 10 years earlier than the jade clothing made by Jing Wang Liu Sheng and his wife Dou Wan in the Han Tomb of Mancheng, Hebei.
"This silky jade garment in the form of a pair of breasts has never been seen in the literature and archaeological excavations. It is an earlier complete set of jade garments seen in our country so far. It provides important information for studying the origins of the ancient Chinese jade garment system Physical information." Zhai Shengli introduced.
Being located in the south of mainland China, at the estuary of the Pearl River, as early as the late Neolithic period, the ancestors of the Nanyue people in Guangzhou cruised along the southeast coast and set foot in the Pacific Islands to engage in seasonal production activities.
After Qin settled Lingnan, Panyu City was built, laying the foundation for the development of Guangzhou, an important port city.
In the mid-Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified Nanyue and actively carried out overseas trade. Guangzhou also became the eastern starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, opening a long history of continuous prosperity and development for more than two thousand years.
