Interpretation: Ji Chun's first month refers to Xia Zheng, not January now; Ji Chun is March; Livestock grandson is the grandson of Xiaoshun; It is also a function word, but it is not a modal particle at the end of the sentence; Luan Shu is an actor.
This device has no lines, and there are 5 lines and 40 characters engraved from neck to shoulder. From left to right, the characters are all inlaid with gold. It was built for the descendants of Luan tree to worship their ancestors, but it has been called Luan tree for many years. There is an inscription on the cover. Luan Shu, also known as "Luan Wuzi" or "Luan Bo", was a doctor in the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was in office 14 years. Lv Chenggong joined the army in four years (587 BC) and died in 573 BC. The scattered golden inscriptions on the device are regular and have been shining so far. The technique of misplacing gold came into being in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, but it belongs to the style of Chu in terms of shape and font, so it is actually a relic of Luan Shu's descendants who later entered Chu.
"Luan Shu" bronze ware is shaped like a pot, with a small mouth, a short neck, a bright shoulder, a round belly and a short circle. There are three small rectangular blocks on the outer edge of the circle foot, which extend outward at equal distance, and the bottom is raised in a cross shape. The top of the cover is arc-shaped, and the inner edge of the cover surface is provided with three rectangular small convex cards with equal distance. There are four symmetrical ring ears on the lid and ventral side, and there are moiré on the ears. There are inscriptions on the surface of the lid and abdomen. Gaiming has two lines and eight characters: "In the first month, Ji Chun was ugly on the first day." There are five lines and forty characters inscribed on the belly: "In the first month, the first day of Yuan Dynasty was ugly, and my uncle Sun chose his auspicious gold as a casting. In order to sacrifice my ancestors, I prayed for longevity in (Yu). The descendants of the banyan tree will always be treasures. "
According to legend, this device was unearthed in Huixian County, Henan Province. 1958, Rong Geng and Zhang Wei named it "Luan Shu" in The General Theory of Bronzes in Yin and Zhou Dynasties, and considered Luan Shu as Luan Wuzi, and the bronze ware "Luan Shu" was cast in the twelfth year of Lv Chenggong (579 BC). For a long time, Luan Shu, a bronze ware, has been generally regarded as an artifact of Jin State in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and regarded as a precious cultural relic with great historical value.
In the early 1990s, according to the newly excavated archaeological materials, some scholars questioned the age and origin of the bronze ladle handed down from ancient times, pointing out that it should be regarded as a Chu-style vessel, not a A Jin-style vessel. Some people think it was built in the 21st year (552 BC) or 22nd year (55 BC1year) of Duke Xiang of Lu, while others think it should be built in the Warring States Period.
From 65438 to 0990, Mr. Yanou wrote "Luan Shu Fu". From the perspective of archaeological typology, he pointed out that the age of this artifact should not be earlier than the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, but this fu should be a Chu utensil in the Warring States Period. At the same time, Mr Wang Guanying doesn't agree with Luan Shuzhi. Mr. Liu Binhui, who specializes in Chu bronzes, made a more detailed demonstration and basically recognized this artifact as a Chu-style artifact in the Warring States Period.
Mr. Li Xueqin speculated in Luan Shu Yi Shuo that this theory was a barbarian tribe living between Chu Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. After the barbarian tribe was destroyed, the descendants of barbarians who fled to Chu made this.
The process of gold and silver interlacing came into being around the mid-Spring and Autumn Period. Its technological process is to cast shallow decorative patterns or inscriptions on the surface of bronzes. If it is a particularly fine decorative pattern, it is to draw a decorative pattern on the surface of the object with an ink pen, chisel a shallow groove with a tool with higher hardness according to the decorative pattern, then embed a thin gold and silver piece or metal wire in the shallow groove, and then polish it to make the embedded gold and silver piece and bronze ware surface smooth. Finally, the surface of the vessel is further polished with charcoal and water to make the vessel. In the early days, this craft paid more attention to inscriptions, and the inscription of "Luan Shu" bronze ware was the product of this craft at the beginning.
