Chapter 505 Amber Cup

Lu Fei was shocked to learn that this was the tomb of Pingxihou Muchun.

Although Tian Jie Yingcai died young, Muchun dedicated his last drop of blood to his court and died exhausted.

This loyalty deserves respect from all.

At the end of the mural, in the northeast corner, there is an arched niche one and a half meters high.

I turned on the flashlight in the alcove and shined it in. There was a golden light shining inside.

It is common sense that there will never be any mechanism in any niche.

Even so, Lu Fei still checked carefully and only put his hand in after making sure it was safe.

First, Lu Fei took out a big thing. It was a round gold medal with a diameter of thirteen centimeters and a thickness of about one millimeter.

The upper part has a mosaic-shaped edge and is engraved with leaf veins. There is a circular hole in the middle of the top for tying a rope.

There are five characters "Ping Xihou Yi Ji" engraved in the middle of the front of the plate body, and four characters engraved on each side. On the right is "This plate must be used" and on the left is "Seal with ribbon and belt". The font is slightly smaller.

There are five lines of inscriptions engraved on the back of the gold medal, which read, "All my descendants must serve the country loyally, be diligent and careful in everything they do, and be humble when dealing with colleagues. This is a special edict to be cautious."

Inscriptions, also known as wills, have been unearthed in large tombs of princes in the Ming Dynasty, but it seems that such a large inscription has never been found before.

Others' memories were all about arranging family affairs. It is even rarer for someone like Muchun to teach future generations to be loyal to the court.

Lu Fei came to Muchun's coffin and stood in front of Mu Chun's coffin with his hands in hand, bowed three times respectfully and said seriously.

"General Mu, you have left a legacy to teach future generations to serve the country with loyalty."

"Now I can tell you, you did it."

"The Mu family is full of loyal people who are powerful throughout the world. You can rest in peace."

"Now the Ming Dynasty is gone, but China is better than before. Your wish has been fulfilled, and the memory is useless."

"Today I have to take away your relics for future generations to admire. Please forgive me."

After Lu Fei finished speaking, he put down his backpack, took out a sponge and carefully wrapped the memory and put it away.

Then he took out another jade seal from the niche.

This square jade seal is three centimeters high, the platform is a little over one centimeter high, and the sides are about two centimeters long.

The tortoise is twisted, and two large seal characters "Muchun" are engraved on the seal surface.

This is Muchun's private seal. The material is Hotan green jade, and the cinnabar mark is still clearly visible on the seal surface.

In addition, there is a gold crown with cloud pattern and lotus hair in the niche.

This golden crown is seven centimeters high and ten centimeters in diameter. The crown is made of gold sheets and is surrounded by three layers of gold sheets hammered together to create auspicious cloud patterns and overlapping decorations of lotus petals, just like a blooming lotus.

There are four symmetrical holes on both sides of the crown, and four gold hairpins are inserted into the bun to fix its position.

The goldware of the Ming Dynasty is unparalleled in the world.

This sentence is most vividly reflected in this golden crown.

The workmanship is complicated and the style is extremely beautiful. It is a top-notch goldware of the Ming Dynasty.

There was nothing in the niche, so Lu Fei put the golden crown away and cleaned up the funerary objects on the ground.

There are four copper boxes on the left and right sides of the ground. In addition, there are more than a dozen pottery figurines of maids buried with them.

Lu Fei opened the first box, and it was full of golden objects.

Gold cups, gold pots, plates, bowls, etc., each one is extremely luxurious.

Open the second box, which is full of gold and jade ornaments.

In addition, there are two beautiful small boxes carved with rosewood and gold on the top of the box.

Lu Fei picked up the smaller one and opened it, and his eyes lit up.

This is a real treat, a parrot crystal ring.

This parrot ring is made of crystal clear crystal. It is ring-shaped, six centimeters in diameter and less than one centimeter wide.

The crystal is carved into a ring shape into a parrot shape with a curved body and a curled tail, connected end to end. It uses deformation and exaggeration techniques to create a beautiful shape and an ingenious idea.

As a new style of ring, the parrot ring is rare in archaeological excavations in the past dynasties.

The piece in front of me is top-notch in terms of texture and workmanship. It is really rare.

Putting the parrot ring away, Lu Fei opened another box again.

The moment the box was opened, Lu Fei couldn't hold it back and screamed out in surprise.

"OMG!"

"Amber cup?"

"So damn beautiful!"

Not only Lu Fei was shocked, Gao Yuan was also amazed.

This amber cup is five centimeters high, fifteen centimeters long, nine centimeters wide, and about seven centimeters in diameter.

The entire piece is made from a single block of deep red amber, with black stripes in the middle, revealing a transparent texture.

The shape of this cup is unique and ingenious. A rolled lotus leaf is used to form the shape of the cup. Water plants under the lotus leaf are staggered on the sides and surround the cup body to form the bottom of the cup.

Next to the lotus leaf, a fisherman jumped out of the water, with his chest bare and his hair tied up, carrying a fishing basket on his shoulder, crossing his legs sideways, holding the fluttering lotus leaf with his right hand, and holding the beating fish tightly with his left hand, with a look of joy on his face.

The joyful fisherman and the lotus leaf-shaped cup body are cleverly combined to form the handle, which is unique and full of artistic charm.

The carving skills of the entire artifact are exquisite, not only bold carvings are made on the entire piece of amber, but reasonable choices are also made in one go.

In addition, the characters' beards, buns, fish, and fishing baskets are supplemented by negative lines, which are carefully crafted to reproduce the characters' voices and smiles and highlight the theme of fishermen enjoying themselves and playing with fish.

\u003c

br\u003e It shows an elegant and timeless artistic conception. The craftsmen used their best skills to carve out an elegant and beautiful piece. It is an extremely rare art treasure.

Looking at the main body of the amber cup, it consists of a lotus leaf-shaped cup body and a handle carved into the shape of a fisherman. The rim of the cup is smooth, smooth and delicately polished.

An osprey is lightly carved on one side of the cup, with a sharp beak and round eyes, as if searching for prey, with a lifelike and lifelike expression.

Several lotus roots and vines stretch out on the other side of the cup. The craftsmen here did not put much effort into painting the intertwined lotus branches and stems in an intricate way.

The part connected to it is the fisherman, which is the essence of amber cup carving skills.

The fisherman's hair is tied up in a high bun, his upper body is exposed, his arms are strong and strong, he carries a fish basket on his back, and wears high boots. He holds a fish tightly in his left hand, and the fish's mouth is raised, as if it is struggling to breathe. Demeanor.

The fisherman's right hand is holding the mouth of the cup tightly, and his whole body is leaning on his side. The muscles on his arms are slightly bulging, as if he is climbing hard. This kind of vague texture treatment shows the good texture beauty.

What is particularly admirable is the depiction of his facial expressions. The fisherman's eyes are slightly narrowed, his mouth is wide open, and he is letting out a knowing laugh. Is it the excitement and satisfaction after catching a fish?

Or maybe it’s the comfort and intoxication of life on the water that gives people endless artistic reverie.

The author of Amber Cup captured the momentary expression of the fisherman's face to enhance the overall artistic effect. The author even portrayed the fisherman's eyebrows and eyes vividly, which truly played the role of "the finishing touch".

The reclining shape, powerful body, vivid expression, and nimble legs and feet burst out with vitality and show strong dynamic beauty.

At the same time, the reclining fisherman is not only the expressive part of the amber cup, but also serves as the handle of the amber cup.

This kind of ingenuity and ingenious conception may not be possible even if the top contemporary masters are bundled together.
