Another secret cave was discovered, and the topic of Emperor Jianwen's treasure suddenly became a hot topic, and many headlines were quickly broadcast.
Ningde officials also sent several representatives to express their concern. The stones blocking the door of the secret cave were cleared, and then four heavily armed people entered. After a while, they came out and took off their gas masks.
"What's going on inside?"
"Associate Professor Li, the secret cave is relatively dry. After testing the air, it is found that there are no harmful gases except for a little turbidity. We use the machine to send a little more air in, and then arrange for people to pull a wire in. After about twenty minutes, you can enter and exit normally. "
"Okay, thank you everyone."
The people waiting in the valley looked expectant, but it was impossible for many people to go in. Li Mo asked associate professors from Peking University and Qingdao University, as well as Yan Qijun, to follow him into the cave first to see what was going on in the cave.
The circuit was completed quickly.
"Strict situation, we are preparing to enter the cave."
A group of people climbed up the large slope and entered the cave one by one. The electric lights in the cave were temporarily turned on, and the light was insignificant compared to the huge cave space. But at a glance, everyone saw thirty or forty wooden boxes piled up under the dim light. In addition to the wooden boxes, there were also a lot of gold, silver and jade items scattered on the ground.
Other than that, there is nothing else. It seems that this secret cave is purely for hiding treasures and the like.
Li Mo controlled his emotions very well. After all, he had seen scenes hundreds of times grander than this one several times. This thing could no longer excite him. He walked eight steps forward, squatted down, and picked up a gold object from the ground.
This gold vessel is approximately 37 centimeters long, has a handle 44 centimeters wide, weighs 500 grams, and is inlaid with some jade beads and rubies.
"A piece of Ming Dynasty inlaid jade inlaid with treasure silk gold Ruyi. Associate Professor Zheng, please take a look at it one by one. This kind of carving technique can only be found in the Ming Dynasty palace. Fortunately, it has not been damaged."
"Let me see."
Zheng Bin hurriedly took it from his hand, and then looked at the light carefully with other associate professors.
"It's so exquisite, so beautiful."
"Perfect."
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Mo's mouth, what a good thing that was. He picked up the second gold object from the ground. This one looked very interesting. It was a gold hairpin that looked like a spider and was inlaid with nine slightly yellow pearls.
"A gold hairpin made of Minglei silk inlaid with pearls and crab."
Handing the gold hairpin to Yan Qijun, the craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen was so exquisite, it was purely handmade, simple and exquisite.
Li Mo picked up the third gold object from the ground, which was also a gold hairpin, a phoenix-shaped gold hairpin. The total length is about 15 centimeters, the phoenix-shaped object is about 7 centimeters long, 5 centimeters wide, and weighs about 40 grams. When it comes to exquisiteness, this one is even better.
"A phoenix-shaped hairpin inlaid with Minglai silk. Associate Professor Zheng, you can register them first and put them in the safe."
"OK."
Several people worked together to sort out the forty-seven pieces of gold, silver and jade scattered on the ground one by one.
"Associate Professor Li, why don't we open a few of those boxes to see what's stored in them?"
"Several of these wooden boxes are made of teak, and they should store very valuable items. You can see that the other wooden boxes are very ordinary. After hundreds of years, these wooden boxes may not be able to withstand the abuse."
Li Mo pointed to the five wooden boxes against the cave wall. The luster emitted by the surface under the light was obviously different from that of the other wooden boxes. The wooden box was not locked and used a wooden falcon hidden switch, which was not a problem for Li Mo. He swept it away, then pretended to fumble on the side of the wooden box for a while, and finally successfully opened the lid.
When I opened it, I saw clothes stored inside. But everyone knew at a glance that these clothes were very special, because the color was bright yellow, and the surface seemed to reflect a luster under the light. The most important thing is that there is a dragon pattern on the surface of the folded clothes.
Obviously this is a dragon robe.
Associate Professor Zheng and another associate professor from Kyoto put on white gloves, carefully took out the dragon robe from the teak box, and slowly unfolded it.
This is a robe with a plate collar and narrow sleeves. The body and sleeves gradually become wider at the back. There is a pair of buttons and buckles on the right side of the collar, and two pairs of laces on the large placket for fastening. There are dragon patterns on the chest, back, left shoulder and right shoulder, which are the dragon robes worn by the Ming emperor.
"Associate Professor Li, I am not familiar with the costumes of the Ming Dynasty. I think this dragon robe is not gorgeous enough. Compared with the dragon robes worn by other emperors of the Ming Dynasty, it is a bit shabby."
Zheng Bin is also a straight-tempered person who says whatever he wants.
"In the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang referred to the costumes of the Tang Dynasty when formulating costumes. The cuffs of your dragon robe are very narrow. That is because the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty conquered the world on horseback. If you wear wide cuffs, Clothes are not suitable for comfort, so some characteristics of Yuan Dynasty costumes were retained when formulating the costumes.”
"As for the style of the dragon robe, the twelve chapters were added to the dragon robe in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. You can visit the museum for details when you return to Kyoto. In the early Ming Dynasty, the dragon robe was still mainly simple."
Refold Emperor Jianwen's robe and put it back into the wooden box, then open the second wooden box. As soon as the lid of the box was opened, everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it. It was a very gorgeous phoenix crown.
The phoenix crown is made of lacquered bamboo silk into a round crown, with jade yarn on the surface. The nine dragons on the phoenix crown are all made of gold, while the four phoenixes are made of green. In the middle is a big dragon, holding a big bead in its mouth. The bead has a green cover and a string of beads hanging down. The other dragons and phoenixes hold beads made of pearls and gems in their mouths.
The upper part of the crown is covered with forty Ruyi Clouds inlaid with pearls, and the lower part is decorated with twelve trees of large pearl flowers, which are peonies strung with pearls, two of which form one tree. It is decorated with two cores and nine dotted green flowers. leaf. There are twelve branches of small pearl flowers, each branch has one and a half pearl flowers, one flower, and five green leaves.
Large pearl flowers are decorated on the lower part of the crown and on the upper edge of the ring. Small pearl flowers are on top of the large pearl flowers and decorated among the pearls and green clouds. The outer edge of the bottom edge of the crown is a jade ring, decorated with twelve pearls, gemstones and jade flowers, and a gold ring around the base.
The temples are placed at the back of the phoenix crown, with the front end shaped like an oval, and gradually closing into three leaves on the left and right, embedded in the golden dragon's mouth. Each leaf is decorated with golden dragons, green clouds, pearls, etc. The edge of the temples facing downward is decorated with beads and dripping beads.
"This is the crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes worn by Empress Ming!"
This is an absolute national treasure.
"Associate Professor Li, this phoenix crown is a little different from the unearthed phoenix crown." Yan Qijun said aloud.
"The models are basically the same, except that the phoenix crowns in the late Ming Dynasty include nine dragons and nine phoenix crowns, or twelve dragons and nine phoenix crowns."
Everyone nodded, Li Mo was so knowledgeable and could explain everything clearly.
Li Mo took out the Nine Dragons and Four Phoenix crown and gently put it aside. Under the phoenix crown was a piece of clothing. Judging from the color, it should be worn by the queen.
"This may be the phoenix robe worn by the queen. Let's open it and take a look." Zheng Bin and another person took out the phoenix robe, carefully unfolded it and stood it in front of everyone.
The outer robe of the phoenix robe is double-layered, with the outer layer made of golden large sleeves embroidered with dragon patterns, and the inner layer made of true red large sleeves, plus Xia Pei, red robe skirt and red back, and the belt is a gold and jade belt.
"This is the Yanju crown dress, which is the regular dress worn by the empress of the Ming Dynasty. It is not a real phoenix robe." Li Mo carefully identified the style of the phoenix robe. "The real phoenix robe is also called a crown dress. The queen only wears it during the canonization ceremony. It is only worn when visiting ancestors and attending court meetings. The etiquette regulations generally include nine dragons and four phoenix crowns, Zhai clothes and a black collar with a midriff."
After Li Mo finished speaking, he walked to the wooden box, looked down, and then said with a smile: "The next one is the Ming Queen's phoenix robe."
