Starting from the Qin Dynasty, after the cultural unification, in the following Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, each dynasty had its own significant cultural characteristics and can be called a typical representative. For example, Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, and Ming and Qing novels.
Of course, this does not mean that in every era, apart from these cultures, there is nothing else that can be used. It is mainly summarized and divided according to large categories, so it is naturally easier to draw such a conclusion. For example, in the Song Dynasty, there were still some people who recited poems and wrote poems, but compared to the lyrics, there were relatively few poems and poems, and it was difficult to surpass their predecessors, so naturally they would not become representatives.
Someone has summed up the rules. It is inevitable for the culture of each era to change its customs. The predecessors have brought a certain culture to the extreme, and today's people have no choice but to start anew. As long as they dig carefully, they can always achieve something.
However, this situation has changed a lot in modern times. Due to the blending and collision of Eastern and Western cultures, culture has become more diverse. Now everyone is at a loss. Even after decades of exploration, they have not been able to find a suitable development path.
Wang Guan is helpless in this regard. After all, he is not a scholar who studies culture full-time, but he knows that if the current situation does not change, the slogan of creating a cultural power will definitely be just a joke.
While Wang Guan was thinking about it, Yu Feibai was not idle. He directly took out the box and the parchment and handed it to Mr. Qian for study. Moreover, Mr. Qian looked very interested, as if he could understand.
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan was also quite curious: "Mr. Qian, do you know Hebrew?"
"I don't understand." Mr. Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just checking these parchments. Don't think that the words written on the parchments must be ancient relics. You must know that it is not only China that has fake cultural relics, but also such things in the West. Not uncommon.¡±
"That's right."
For a moment, Yu Feibai was convinced: "Don't say that the parchment is fake, even the papyrus paper has been made old."
What is papyrus paper? Of course Wang Guan knew it.
As early as the third millennium BC, Egypt had begun to use papyrus paper to record text. This kind of paper was made by tearing the reeds and placing one layer on top of another vertically and horizontally. The natural gum of the reed will bind the two layers together. Connect the papyrus papers to form a roll.
It is said that Westerners¡¯ writing habits were formed at this time. Because there are natural horizontal lines on the papyrus paper, when writing, it must be easier to write along the horizontal surface. After years of development. This writing habit has been preserved.
As for China, due to the habit of using bamboo slips to carve characters, even if paper was invented, the ancients still used to write vertically. Therefore, the origins of Eastern and Western cultures are different. Much depends on the local flora?
In addition, in Egypt, due to the relatively dry weather, the bulrush rolls may have been preserved. But in other humid places. This paper doesn't last long. So I switched to using leather as a carrier.
No matter what, the importance that ancient people attached to culture far exceeded today¡¯s imagination. They tried every means to hope that cultural knowledge could be passed on, so today we can see that every region and nation in the world has its own set of cultural expressions. Some can be passed down intact. Unfortunately, some have experienced faults, and some have become new cultures after integration.
Because it is difficult to preserve ancient characters, some cultural research institutions, experts and scholars are willing to pay large prices to buy ancient calligraphy scrolls. Seeing that there was a profit to be made, some people naturally got their ideas wrong and began to forge various bulrush rolls, parchment papers, and linen rolls, and scribbled some messy words on the rolls.
¡°Don¡¯t mention it, many people are often deceived by such confusing things. As a result, with the continuous development of scientific identification technology, there are reports from time to time in major museums around the world of certain manuscripts and manuscripts, which were identified as fakes at the time, which naturally became a joke.
Of course, this situation is not uncommon not only abroad, but also at home. Legend has it that someone took a piece of pancake, cracked the surface of the pancake, and then printed it directly on the paper to form seemingly mysterious lines, and then pretended to be an ancient golden tripod inscription. Some people actually believed it and bought it to study. Even if someone exposed it later, the researchers would still be stubborn and would not admit their mistakes.
Various deeds show that Mr. Qian¡¯s worries are not unnecessary, and it is indeed necessary to study these parchment rolls.
¡°It doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s worn out.¡±
At this time, Yu Feibai scratched his head and said: "There is no special smell, and it looks very natural. And there are these cracks, which are natural aging cracks"
"That's right."
 "Mr. Qian also nodded in agreement: "You can tell by looking at the traces of sewing. The truly ancient parchment is not a whole piece of leather as everyone imagines, but is made of refined sheepskin, carefully cut and sewn piece by piece. Especially when writing, you have to work very hard to fill in the horizontal lines and straight lines to make sure that every line is written neatly.¡±
"correct."
At the right time, Yu Feibai signaled: "Look, several pieces of sheepskin are glued and sewn together, and then cut into pieces to form rolls. The process is also relatively complicated. People nowadays probably don't have the patience to fake it like this."
"It's hard to say."
Wang Guan smiled and said: "Counterfeiting can be divided into street stall goods and high-end products. Street stall goods must be shoddy, but high-end goods that make a lot of money definitely require some effort. If you don't even have this patience, how can you make money?"
"Hey, from what you said, it sounds like you wish the things you bought were fakes." Yu Feibai said in surprise: "Or, do you think these are fakes?"
"What? I can't be more cautious." Wang Guan shrugged his shoulders and stopped paying attention to the parchments. Instead, he turned back to look at the small box containing the parchments. I saw that the box was very old, and the wood showed signs of decay. If the corners hadn't been wrapped with iron sheets, the box might have fallen apart long ago.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that in Wang Guan's eyes, this box is somewhat unusual. At this time, he reached out to pick up the box, weighed it a little, and even knocked on the wall of the box.
At this moment, Yu Feibai's eyes lit up, and he immediately snatched the box away with lightning speed, and then asked in surprise: "Is there a mezzanine?"
While talking, Yu Feibai also started tapping, but he didn't hear any echo. In other words, every inch of wall panel is solid and there is no interlayer at all.
"It should be that the wallboard is too thick." Yu Feibai would not give up easily, so he directly used tools to dismantle the box. Even during the process of dismantling, the wooden boards could not withstand the violence and directly shattered into pieces. piece.
After a while, the box turned into a pile of wood chips, with some iron sheets embedded in the wooden boards. It is clear at a glance that there is no mezzanine at all.
"You tricked me again." Yu Feibai glared, looking very angry.
"When did I say that the box has a mezzanine?"
At the right time, Wang Guan was dumbfounded: "I just wanted to check what kind of wood the box was made of. Who knew you were in such a hurry that you opened it without saying a word."
"Then why don't you stop it?" Yu Feibai said confidently: "When I demolish it, you can definitely dissuade me. Seeing that you have no objection, I will definitely demolish it."
"You won't listen even if I tell you, so I won't say it at all." Wang Guan was stating a fact.
Yu Feibai would definitely not admit this and expressed his dissatisfaction with a snort. Immediately, the adults ignored the villain's faults and generously forgave Wang Guan, no longer caring about this trivial matter
Wang Guan has become accustomed to Yu Feibai's tough talk. Even Mr. Qian just smiled and didn't bother to pay attention. In addition, Yu Feibai also knew that he had done something wrong, so he quickly wanted to make up for it and took the initiative to clean the wood chips on the table.
"etc¡¡"
At this moment, Wang Guan pulled out a thin piece of iron sheet from among the wood pieces. This was a pillar embedded in the bottom of the box to keep the box board from cracking. After Yu Feibai pulled out the iron sheet, the bottom of the box shattered into pieces.
At first glance, the iron sheet is relatively thin, about one to two millimeters thick. However, it may be due to the passage of time that a layer of rust film has accumulated on the iron sheet, giving it a rustic look.
At this time, Wang Guan found a rag and carefully wiped off the rust and dust on the iron sheet. Some inscriptions could be vaguely seen on the iron sheet.
"Huh."
Yu Feibai noticed it from the side, immediately dropped the cleaning work at hand, and hurriedly came closer to take a look: "What is this?"
"It should be words."
Wang Guan looked at it, then shook his head and said: "It's almost the same as the text on parchment, but I can't understand it anyway."
"Is it to introduce the origin of these parchments?" Yu Feibai squinted his eyes and watched, but he didn't gain anything. However, he also felt that compared to the parchment, the text on the iron sheet might be more precious.
¡°Take it and take a look.¡±
At the same time, Mr. Qian was a little more curious. He took the iron sheet from Wang Guan, weighed it, studied it carefully for a moment, and immediately said: "This is not an iron sheet, but some kind of metal sheet. If it is Iron, being so thin, would have oxidized and rotted long ago. And purely in terms of weight, it is much heavier than iron sheet."
Of course, the material is only secondary, but the content is the key.
While speaking, Mr. Qian carefully paid attention to the content on the metal sheet. He saw that the letters were very clearly engraved on the sheet, and the arrangement and spacing were very precise, neat and orderly, and full of special rhythm. Unfortunately, due to cultural differences, even Mr. Qian couldn't figure out what these words meant.
"Fei Bai, help me dial a number"
If you don¡¯t understand, just ask. Mr. Qian didn¡¯t insist on it and immediately told Yu Feibai to open his address book and contact experts and scholars in this field.
While Yu Feibai was on the phone, Mr. Qian continued to study the metal sheets and fumbled repeatedly, but he couldn't figure out the material of the thing. It felt like it was some kind of alloy.
"It's cast so thin, but not crispy, but somewhat tough. The craftsmanship is not simple."
?????????? Mr. Qian applauded. You must know that in the ancient West, especially before the Middle Ages, smelting technology was very backward. It was naturally not easy to make metal so thin and tough - Didn't finish reading?
