It happened in 1978. A certain military region in Hubei wanted to expand the factory, but it was shelved for some reason. It turned out that when they cleaned up the site, they used explosives to facilitate the removal of excess rocks. When the smoke rose, some construction workers felt that something was wrong, and the color was different from what they knew, so they questioned. After that, they stopped the project immediately and called in experts to conduct a survey. Indeed, there is an ancient tomb to be discovered under the ground. The ancient tomb can be roughly judged to be the tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the experts lifted more than 20 coffins from it, they continued to investigate the ancient tomb. In the main chamber of the tomb, they found a coffin weighing 7 tons, which is extremely rare. The design of this giant coffin is exquisite and ingenious, and the technique is superb. The design of the coffin is even more exquisite. The patterns carved on both sides are like living things. The person who sculpts it must be skilled to carve such a vivid pattern.
But the coffin was not the biggest discovery of the tomb exploration. In this ancient tomb of Nuoda, there is still a very precious cultural relic - the bell of Zeng Houyi. It is 273 cm high, 335 cm wide and 748 cm long. It is also supported by 6 samurai samurai and 8 columns at the base. After so many years of baptism, this set of chimes has been well preserved and can make a complete sound of music. These are the places that amaze archaeologists. In such a distant era, our country has been able to produce such sophisticated musical instruments, which shows that the wisdom of the ancients is unfathomable. The excavation of Zeng Houyi's chime bell has rectified the name of our country's music history. Even experts exclaimed: "This is really the eighth wonder of our country."
The craftsmanship of Zeng Houyi's chime is complex and exquisite, and it is a rare and good musical instrument. These advanced techniques show that our country was already highly accomplished in music during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In order to better protect this cultural relic, experts kept it in the Hubei Provincial Museum. On January 18, 2002, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage stipulated that the bell of Zeng Houyi was prohibited from leaving the country.
Through the investigation of Zeng Houyi's bells, we can learn about the history of music and bronze ware casting in the Qin Dynasty, as well as the owner of the ancient tomb. Therefore, cultural relics are very important for us to discover the history and find the truth of the past. meaning. When dealing with cultural relics, we must do our best to protect and inherit them. They are all part of Chinese culture and we must not abandon them. Each artefact has its own unique charm. Every Chinese has an obligation to protect cultural relics and protect a part of our Chinese civilization. Only in this way can we understand our ancestors and learn the advanced skills of our ancestors, so that Chinese culture can be carried forward for a long time. This is the mission of every Chinese. We must shoulder this responsibility and carry forward Chinese culture.
