Chinanews client, Beijing, August 20th (Reporter Zhang Xi) Do you still remember that four months ago, the post-95 UP masters who "recovered" the popular Sanxingdui golden mask "were talented and shallow"?

　　At that time, even the State Administration of Cultural Heritage liked him, and Sanxingdui even directly called him "come to work."

　　In the video of making the golden mask, Cai Qian promised that if the number of likes exceeds 1 million, the golden rods unearthed in Sanxingdui will be made.

　　Now, he has fulfilled his promise.

　　It took 250,000 yuan and took 4 months to "restore" the Sanxingdui Golden Rod with 900 grams of gold according to my own understanding.

　　As one of the treasures of the town hall, the golden rod was unearthed in the sacrificial pit No. 1 at the Sanxingdui site in 1986. It is 143 cm long and weighs about 500 grams.

　　This golden rod was beaten into a golden ribbon with gold bars, and then wrapped on the wooden rod.

　　Unfortunately, when it was unearthed, the stick inside had been carbonized, leaving only a layer of gold on the outside.

　　There are three sets of patterns on the golden rod, namely: the head of a person wearing a five-tooth crown, a bird and a fish, and an arrow-like pattern.

　　Some experts believe that this golden scepter is most likely to represent the "King of Yufu" among the ancient Shu kings, and the owner of the golden scepter should also be him.

　　Some experts also mentioned that the person wearing a five-tooth crown on the golden rod should be the ancestor silkworm.

　　Cai Qian was most concerned about how this golden rod was made under the limited conditions at the time?

　　When he first recorded the show in Sanxingdui, he brought back a tree stick.

　　Cai Qian felt, "It is made from the branches that grew on the land of ancient Shu, this golden rod will be more soulful."

　　It is very difficult to make a golden rod.

　　A small amount of silver must be incorporated into the gold first.

After a long beating, the gold bar was turned into a gold ribbon with a length of 143 cm, a width of 7.2 cm, and a thickness of about 0.2 to 0.3 cm.

　　Then "re-engrave" the texture.

　　I just introduced that this traditional craft is called engraving, which is a chisel and hammer made of metal, which are beaten on the metal surface to leave lines.

　　He noticed that the lines of the Sanxingdui Golden Rod were very complicated. They were engraved with two stripes between less than 1 mm square, and the lines were smooth and parallel to each other, which looked like a single line.

　　Cai Qian said that when he saw this craft, he did not admire the skills of the ancient Shu people, but felt deep fear and despair.

　　In order to perfectly restore the craftsmanship, Cai Qian also specially made a oxbone knife to replace the agate knife, re-engraving the pattern of this scepter with the technique of pressing and scratching.

　　At the end of the production, considering the glue that the ancient Shu people could also make at that time, I deliberately used fish foam to make fish swim bladder glue, and glued the gold ribbon to the wooden stick.

　　After the video was released, netizens praised in the barrage:

　　"The mysterious and unpredictable of the ancient Shu civilization is revealed little by little under the cocoon. It's too strong, too strong!!!"

　　"Inject the soul!"

　　Some people ridicule. Perhaps 3000 years later, someone found two golden rods that were 3000 years apart, but the craftsmanship was exactly the same, and they came to the conclusion that "there has been no progress in human civilization in these 3000 years".

　　Some people even made a wish, hoping to see the bronze sacred tree, terracotta warriors and other cultural relics in the next issue.

　　The official Weibo of Sanxingdui also came to like it for the first time:

　　For this creation, Cai Qian admitted in an interview that his original intention was to better feel the craftsmanship made by the ancients.

　　"Although it may not be completely accurate, it allows me to experience its charm during the production process."

　　He revealed that since the manual video audience may look a bit boring, he adopted some "stuck" techniques in post-production to make the whole process more interesting.

　　Speaking of the wishes of netizens, he told reporters from Chinanews.com that he is currently interested in many cultural relics: such as the complete appearance of the bronze sacred tree, the thousand-year immortal craftsmanship of the Yuewang Goujian sword, and the primitive nature of the Jiahu bone flute.

　　Do you look forward to the next "God Restoration" that will be the first time before this?
