Henan Cultural Relics to Shine in Special Season of 'The Nation's Greatest Treasures'

《国家宝藏》文物特展启动 河南多件文物赴京参展

 

On the evening of December 25, The Nation's Greatest Treasures, a popular TV variety show on cultural relics, was concluded with the commencement of its special season. Henan Museum's Bronze Chime Bells of the Zheng State (806-375 BC), Jade Pendant Decorated with Seven Jade Huang (ritual object) of the Guo State (1,046-256 BC) and stone quern with a roller of the Peiligang Culture period (7,000 years ago), together with Anyang Yin Ruins Museum's oracle bone of the Shang Dynasty (1,600-1,046 BC), will be showcased.

12月25日晚，《国家宝藏·展演季》在央视综艺频道收官，并宣布《国家宝藏》文物特展正式启动。其中，来自河南博物院馆藏文物郑国编钟、七璜组玉佩、石磨盘和石磨棒，以及安阳殷墟博物馆的商代甲骨将赴京参展。

"Originally only the Brzone Chime Bells and the Jade Pendant Decorated with Seven Jade Huang would appear in the special season, but to meet the needs of the Palace Museum, the stone quern with a roller unearthed at the Xihe Site in Henan's Xinzheng city, representative cultural relics of the Peiligang Culture period, have been newly added," said Ma Xiaolin, head of Henan Museum.

“原本只有郑国编钟和七璜组玉佩参加此次特展，但近日根据故宫特展需要，又增加了裴李岗文化时期的代表性文物、来自新郑西河遗址的石磨盘、石磨棒参展。”河南博物院院长马萧林说。

 

Featuring a 7-note scale, harmonious rhythm and beautiful tone, the chime bells unearthed at a sacrificial site of the Zheng State in Xinzheng city are of the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 BC). Some traces of files for tone tuning have been found on each bell, which can be used for studying music styles of the Zheng State.

据介绍，新郑郑国祭祀遗址出土的编钟属于春秋时期，具有完整的七声音阶结构，音律和谐、音色如歌声般动听。每件钟都有调音锉磨的痕迹，为研究“郑声”的音乐特征和音乐风格提供了实物资料。

 

Unearthed in the cemetery of the Guo State in Sanmenxia city, the gorgeous jade pendant about 126 centimeters in length is composed of seven jade Huang with beads made of red agates and other materials. The jade pendant was owned by a king of the Guo State, which provides physical evidence for studying the jade wearing system of the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC).

七璜组玉佩出土于三门峡虢国墓，通长约126厘米，由七个由小到大依次递增的玉璜，间以左右对称双排两行的红玛瑙珠、料珠等串联而成，可谓璀璨夺目，华丽无比。这件玉佩为虢国国君所有，出土时置于死者颈部至膝下，为研究西周的佩玉制度提供了实证。

 

The oracle bone that will shine in the special season was unearthed in an oracle bone-storing pit in the Yin Ruins. "The oracle bone is basically well-preserved with 26 paragraphs of inscriptions related to the stories of ancestor worship with rams, ewes and bulls, training with different bows and arrows, inspection tour of King Wuding's wife Fuhao and the jade and silk products presented to her as tributes," said He Yuling, deputy director of Anyang Workstation of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Archaeology Institute.

此次参展的商代甲骨在1991年出土于殷墟都城遗址一座甲骨窖藏坑内。“该版甲骨基本完整，共有26段刻辞文字。卜辞内容涉及用公羊、母羊、公牛等祭祀先祖，用不同弓箭训练射击，以及带领王后妇好巡视领地，并向其进献玉器、丝绸等物。”中国社科院考古研究所安阳工作站副站长何毓灵说。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/温小娟 编译/赵汉青 制作/王君艺 审校/丁岚）
