Say it is not a belt, because it has nothing in common with the belt system, and it has neither a buckle nor a tail. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the waist width was about 3.2-5 cm, and it was more than 6 cm in the Ming Dynasty, which was not as narrow as these two cases. Its length 157 cm is not suitable for the cooperation belt, and it is too abundant to tie a circle, but it seems that it cannot be folded and tied twice. In particular, the ancients had never seen such a belt in image; It is completely different from the painting on the wall of Prince Yide's tomb. In fact, it is an arm wrapped with gold, which is an ornament. But unlike ordinary armbands, there is only one circle, but many circles are wound on the wall. This thing has never been seen in the image data of the Tang Dynasty, and the earliest known example appears in the picture of a lady with a flower. A praise painting, originally thought to be a painting of the Tang Dynasty, was replied by Mr. Xie. The author wrote a short article listing the unearthed objects, which was later proved (Cultural Relics World No.6 1990) and was identified as a work of the Five Dynasties. This name also appeared in the literature at this time. "History of the New Five Dynasties: Biography of Murong Yanchao": "The wet nurse got gold wrapped around her arms and offered Yanchao in the mud." There is a cloud in Su Shi's poem "Cold Ware" in the Northern Song Dynasty: "Sleeping at night in spring is thicker than wine, and beauty is more important than gold." As far as excavation is concerned, there are many relics from Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty.
Silver wares were unearthed from the Southern Song Dynasty tomb at Lucheng 1 in Linxiang, Hunan Province, and were "rolled into dozens of circles and decorated with embossed plum, chrysanthemum, sunflower and peony figures" (ArchaeologicalNo. 1988 andNo. 1). There are also Jin Dynasty relics in the north, such as the Jin Dynasty cellar in Beihe Village, Lintong, Shaanxi Province (China Fine Arts Collection Gold and Silver Wares 132). The Yuan Dynasty unearthed in Wumenqiao, Suzhou, is a collection of Suzhou Museum (Pocket Treasures and Ancient Treasures 29 1). Ming dynasty is more common, and there are many pieces in Nanjing alone. In the Ming Dynasty jewelry crown clothing collected in Nanjing Museum, the tomb of Mrs. Xu * * * circled seven times, a suburb circled 12 times, and Cao circled 13 times outside Taiping Gate. The last two cases are more than 2 meters straight, even longer than those unearthed in Guanghan. It's all gold. Except for those plains, the patterns are carved, which is different from that cast in Linxiang, but consistent with the examples of Shiyu and Guanghan. It is particularly noteworthy that the grass pattern on Mrs. Xu's arm wrapped with gold is very close to that of Shifang and similar to that of Guanghan, but the zodiac pattern is different. Therefore, these two pieces of arm-wrapped gold in Sichuan are probably from the Ming Dynasty. For this kind of jewelry in different places, the collars at both ends are exactly the same. After connecting with the needle body, it can slide left and right to adjust the tightness. This function is necessary for this arm belt, but it is useless when applied to the belt.
