If a national treasure can talk, the second season introduced 25 national treasures from the Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties. The national treasures displayed this season show civilization from many aspects such as ideology, culture and technology, and interpret Chinese civilization with a more inclusive and atmospheric vision and posture. At the same time, with the theme of "super connection, beyond imagination", we will continue to build a video index of Chinese civilization, interpret information in multiple dimensions, reconstruct a history of Chinese civilization based on material remains, and open a window for the audience to understand Chinese culture.
The tall king's tent gathers the most elite soldiers on the grassland, who have the sharpness of an eagle and the courage of a wolf. The eagle crown overlooks the fanatical faces of the soldiers, and the sharp eagle beak faces the south-the south of the grassland, where the Huns' hooves will eventually set foot.
It was from the Warring States period that we confronted and merged with one internal and external opponent after another. After repeated metamorphosis, the strong tolerance of Chinese civilization has gradually been awakened. We know ourselves because of our opponents. Because of our opponents, we become stronger ourselves. Hello, my opponent!
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are turbulent times. For hundreds of years, heroes have risen side by side and wars have been frequent. The Staggered Banquet in the Warring States Period and the Bronze Pot with Warfare in the Warring States Period recorded the aristocratic life in the Warring States Period in a staggered way. It brought the moonlight 2,000 years ago. The guests at that feast seemed to have just dispersed, and the incense of Lan Zhi smell on the skirt was still at the fingertips.
The pot is silent, but not silent. The pot body can be measured, but it is boundless.
At the moment, there is not a drop of wine in the pot, but it is full of intoxicating flavor of the times. The music of the battle feast is hidden, and the mulberry leaves are still growing silently. Two thousand years is a sea, and the mulberry fields on the pot are still dense.
The chime of Zeng Houyi, a cultural relic in the early Warring States period, is a huge musical instrument composed of 65 bronze chimes, with a range of 5 and a half octaves, 12 semitones. Its exquisite casting technology and good musical performance have rewritten the history of world music and are called "rare treasures" by experts and scholars at home and abroad.
The tomb of Zeng Houyi was excavated in 1978, and the owner's name was "B", who was the monarch of the Warring States. Zeng Guo, that is, the "successor country" recorded in historical books, is within the scope of Suizhou City, Hubei Province today.

The woodcarving double-headed tomb beast is the most grotesque and spectacular sculpture of the tomb beast in Chu Tomb Town. It is used to protect the owner's safety. The two beasts merged and velvet horns grew out. The tombs and beasts in the town are connected with their backs, with horns on their heads and big eyes, which fully shows the strangeness and freedom of Chu culture.
In one breath, the tomb beast has existed for two thousand years. Using wood and animal keratin to resist the erosion of time, it is still intact, side by side with the sky and walking with the stars.
In Xiangchuan, the people in the painting follow the dragonfly, and the praise belt rises with the wind. This cultural relic is a "soul coffin" for funeral. When unearthed, it was laid flat on the partition between the coffin cover and the outer coffin, which was considered as a picture of "leading the soul to heaven".
Life and death are day and night. Life and death cannot be reversed by manpower, but spring comes and autumn goes, and day and night change. This is a hint from nature. Chu people's search for the mystery of life turned into a splendid picture scroll, which made people at that time no longer afraid of death. Because they believe that death is the end of the road to life, but it is the beginning of the journey of eternal life. Death is like life. This view of life and death has influenced China for thousands of years. Being born as a human being and becoming immortal after death is a complete life memory. Between life and death, we should obey the dragon.
1974, inadvertently touched the dust of the mirror of the earth, and the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum buried deep at the foot of Mount Li suddenly appeared. 160 kneeled figurines were unearthed by the vanguard at the eastern end of the No.2 Terracotta Warriors Pit in Qin Shihuang Mausoleum.

The stars rotate the sky, and mountains and rivers are all over the earth. Artificially copied mirror images have the magic of distorting time. Outside the mirror, the body has passed away. In the mirror, soldiers are endowed with eternal personality and life. They stand in front of people today, resisting all the forces decayed by time. The Qin dynasty on the ground has come to an end, and the time under the earth extends itself in the tunnel of the pit. The empire here is endless, and the soldiers are waiting for the emperor's order and ready to return to the battlefield at any time.
In a country based on agriculture, a farmer is illiterate and has no car, but he has to pay for food. Unified party victory means unified laws and regulations. Only the Chinese ancestors living in the vast land can have a unified understanding of the vast country.

Whether a car that has never started can really gallop and reach a distant place.
In the official history, the record of the administrative system and social life of the Qin Dynasty is less than a thousand words. Liye Qin bamboo slips, nearly 200,000 words, were described more than 37,000 times before, which seemed to revive a cell of the Qin Dynasty, and then revived the life breath of an era. At that time, petty officials and civilians still existed in letters, which could be read, understood and imagined. You can see the life and time illuminated by the bright moon in Qin Dynasty between the letters.
An era is concentrated in a county, and a county is concentrated in a wooden slip. More than 37,000 wooden slips, like an encyclopedia of county life in Qin Dynasty, filled all aspects at that time, showing the management and operation of a county in Qin Dynasty in a panoramic way.
The beauty of jade is the embodiment of grade and the sustenance of life and death. Nanyue country, although far away in Lingnan, is as strong as the Central Plains' pursuit of jade. The drinking jade cup, the decorated Yu Pei, the jade clothes that protect the body and gather the soul ... The kings of Lingnan are also obsessed with every piece of jade. Jed was with the king even if he died.
Jade is the beauty of stone. Jade is a little more than Wang Zi. Even as a king, he will get lost in time. With jade, there is a little more power to stand side by side with time. Yu' an, so the body is born, so the earth is born. Live in eternal wishes and longings.

1995, a Sino-Japanese joint investigation team found a large number of fabrics at the Niya site. 1 The male aristocrats in Tomb No.8 are all luxuriously dressed, and a square armguard beside their right arm stands out. This armguard may be a gift from the Central Plains Dynasty to the ancient country of Jingjue. Eight seal characters are arranged horizontally from right to left in the pattern of the brocade: "Five stars come from the East and benefit China".
World civilization is like colorful silk thread, and the vast rivers and mountains are like endless looms, which have been compiled so far under the blowing of east wind and west wind. Jingwei, line and road, ancient and modern, on the ancient road of Shahai, we saw you and met ourselves.
The four gods are the symbols and guardians of the Quartet, and their patterns are of great significance to this jade shop. If looming in the clouds, if roaming in the sky, the four gods of heaven and earth are covered with jade, which is an exquisite work in the pursuit of smart and romantic artistic style in Han Dynasty.
Jade is the essence of the earth. The sculptor carved the blue dragon, white tiger, suzaku and Xuanwu in the sky on this jade, and this jade inherited the astronomical phenomena. Perhaps the ancients imagined them as paving stones for Tianmen. Even in front of us, we need to look up at the sky where the four gods roam. The four gods on this lantian jade are safe. This is a green sky, four gods, galloping, flying, hovering and silent, guiding the direction on the ground and looking at the world beyond.
Xiping Shijing is the earliest existing official edition of Shijing in China, which pioneered orthography and is a masterpiece in China's academic history and calligraphy history. Unfortunately, I was repeatedly changed and lost in the countryside. Fortunately, you have been collecting stone scriptures for generations, reuniting the broken ones, not forgetting the Han people, and keeping the true god for future generations.
Han people have shown by actions that going back is to get close to the truth. The stone is cold and hard, but it hides its meaning. It calls on people of all ages to look for debris everywhere. Today, we collected more than 8,000 words of Xiping Shijing. Piece by piece, word by word, waiting for the reunion after breaking.
Taoism, Confucianism and China. The encounter between Confucius and Laozi represents the exchange and integration of these two ideas, just like two rivers flowing in the blood of our culture.
Behind the worship of the two sages is the exchange and integration of the two ideas. People in the Han Dynasty carved this scene on bricks and stones. As for the trillion domain, it was for memory and inheritance. Exchange and mutual learning have enriched human civilization. The national culture continues because of the memory of inheritance.
Confucius and Laozi, Confucianism and Taoism. Their philosophy is like two rivers, they meet, they run and flow in our veins. The encounter between Confucius and Laozi happens all the time. This is your meeting with the world, your meeting with yourself.
A court woman in the Western Han Dynasty, with slender eyebrows, a round face, a headscarf on her head and a crooked deep skirt, sat on her feet. She set out from the Western Han Dynasty with a distant light. The cavity in her body is the secret for Han people to realize environmental protection. Ordinary lighting needs create extraordinary exquisiteness.
For more than two thousand years, she never moved a step, but set out from the Western Han Dynasty and brought a distant light. She was born for a lamp, holding the lamp in both hands and projecting light forward. Her body is a container of smoke and dust. Imagine her temperature, as if she felt the warmth for a long time, and the length of time was like a lamp.
Controlling the light, this ordinary need, has been created extremely exquisitely. In the dim light and the gentle rotation of kitchen smoke, we witnessed the thinking and consideration of our predecessors. Time is like light and life is like a candle. Changxin Palace Lantern brings smart light.
Thin and transparent, soft and mysterious, plain gauze clothing belongs to that era, but its hazy charm has always attracted future generations to pursue its peerless youth. The length of the whole dress is 1.28m, and the length of the sleeves is1.9m. Even if the collar, cuffs and skirt are included, it is only 49g.
These silks are woven by warp and weft, and also weave a unique temperament of a nation.
The gift is called summer. The beauty of the clothes is called China. Plain yarn and light clothing belonged to that era, but it is still influencing people in China two thousand years later. It is an eternal legend in China's clothing history, but there is no gap with today's life. Because that's how China people are free and romantic.
Twenty-eight nights are like coordinates scattered in the sky, which divide Sunday 365 degrees unevenly. It can measure the equatorial longitude of celestial bodies and record the position changes of the sun, the moon and the five major planets. Ancestors looked up at the sky and bowed their heads to think. Establishing the cornerstone of agricultural civilization with a stable and accurate calendar.
The sky has no scale, so many people will divide it into 28 stars.

In 202 BC, the Han Dynasty was founded. The world is peaceful and the social atmosphere is positive. In the Prime Minister's home in Changsha, there is a unique dish, which is a civet painted dish. Round eyes, chubby body and pointed ears are not much different from our domestic cat today, but its appearance is not simple.
There are only three simple words on the food plate painted by civet cats-"You are lucky to eat it". Translated into modern language, it means "eat and drink well".

More than 3,000 years ago, in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, businessmen used thirteen numbers, such as one to ten, one hundred, one thousand and ten thousand, to record any natural number within 100,000.

These seemingly abstract figures can be expressed by China people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period with some humble wooden sticks. At that time, it was widely used for counting and calculation. Computing chips are mostly made of bamboo, but also made of animal bones, ivory, metal and other materials.

They connected the audience after 2000 years through a column of smoke. Time accurately calculates the trajectory of life, smoke clouds calculate the sound, color and shape of everything, and calculate the distance from one end to the other.
This silver band hook contains fascinating secrets. It was unearthed in TombNo. 12 of Wang Liufei of Jiangdu in Han Dynasty. The owner is his concubine, Yuchun Baby. Their agreement was carved in this secret place with a hook, which was treasured by the Spring Rain Baby for generations and brought to the grave before the Gregorian calendar era began. In 2009, after A.D., we found the oath they had made to each other: never forget each other.
"There is no mausoleum in the mountains, the river is dry, there is Lei Zhen in winter, and there is rain and snow in summer. Only when heaven and earth are combined can we dare to be with you."
-"Han Yuefu"
This great age, while containing secrecy and openness, may be in another sense, have realized that "never ending" and "never forgetting" are the emotional continuation of the Chinese nation to the Han civilization. The auspicious words of people in the Han dynasty are also the same expectations of people in previous dynasties. In modern life, it is still used for thousands of years and still shines.
Think about how many people in China have let go, dare to speak and dare to be, just regard this life as a dream, be loyal to their own hearts and live a bright life.
A rhinoceros came from Shaanxi, shook off its dust and looked forward with its head held high. He was drunk, but he is sober now. It's called Xizun. It's a hip flask. The history of describing and shaping life is as long as human civilization. People use various materials to simulate life on earth, hoping to enjoy nature with animals.
The statue of rhinoceros sent away the rhinoceros, a river older than blood vessels, flowing in a land older than the country. Passers-by come and go, smile at each other, and everything has a heart.

My head stretched forward, my back was arched, and my leg ligament was pulled up, revealing a wide and flat sole. I'm going to make an effort to amuse all the audience at once.
My soul never died. It has become an industry, an idea and a philosophy. I am a national spirit living on the streets and a noble hermit. Look at me laughing, that's because I'm serious.

From all angles, the shape of this horse is perfect.
This is a maverick horse, surpassing the superficial queue and jumping into the clouds. It keeps company with birds.
The horse, a stunner with beautiful appearance, is the messenger of the bright elves in the clouds, flying proudly in the sky, just like human imagination, wandering in Wan Ren. Even without feathered wings, it can fly like lightning and walk in the sky.
You came from ancient times, and the waves washed away the dust;
You run to the future, and the sound of the waves echoes in the sky.
In this beautiful era, the ancients left us unimaginable cultural relics with unimaginable wisdom. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, a series of rich, diverse and brilliant historical ripples penetrated the waves of history and shone brightly today.
A bell with two tones and twelve tones has been circulating for more than two thousand years, and Ceng Houyi's ringing of the bell has played a century-old strong sound of the Chinese nation; The empire was buried, the bronze was denuded, the car that never started, and the bronze chariots and horses of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum galloped to the destination of the soul; Time is like light and life is like a candle.
