Nine Prefectures Cauldrons!
China's national treasure!
Thousands of years ago, the Great Yu divided the world into nine states. Later, Xia Qi ordered the nine state overseers to contribute bronze and forge nine cauldrons.
Each cauldron symbolized a state, and the nine cauldrons were exquisitely carved. They were simple and elegant, and their aura was solemn. They represented the prosperity and inheritance of the Chinese nation!
In terms of craftsmanship and aesthetics, the Nine Prefectures Cauldron was a rare treasure.
From the perspective of civilization inheritance, the Nine Prefectures Cauldron was the testimony of the Chinese people's legacy, the essence of an era's civilization.
Unfortunately, the Nine Prefectures Cauldrons had long been lost during the Pre-Qin period.
Thousands of years later, the Nine Prefectures Cauldrons became a legend.
However, the Chinese people, the descendants of the dragon, had long since engraved their desire for this national treasure into their hearts and blood.
It was not until decades ago that the relevant departments of the Dragon Country finally found the Nine Prefectures Cauldron in the Qin Mausoleum of Mount Li.
However, in the thousands of years, the Nine Prefectures Cauldrons had been ravaged by time and were actually extremely dilapidated.
After the archeological team discovered the Nine Prefectures Cauldron, they immediately reported it to the relevant authorities of the country. After that, the Nine Prefectures Cauldron was secretly collected. In these decades, the experts in the relevant fields of the country and countless people spent generations of effort, but they were still unable to repair this national treasure.
The body of the Nine Prefectures Cauldron was damaged. Due to the high degree of oxidization, the shape of the bronze ware was damaged and could not be formed. The colors were all different, and the inscriptions and patterns engraved on the nine cauldrons were so blurry that there was no way to study them.
One had to know that repairing a bronze artifact that had been around for thousands of years was extremely difficult!
Not to mention a national treasure like the Nine Prefectures Cauldron!
Since the 1960s, three generations of the Dragon Country's top archaeologists, bronzeologists, antique restorers, and ancient culture researchers had been studying the Nine Cauldrons day and night, wanting to recreate the glory of the Nine Cauldrons!
However, no one could do it!
In order to repair the nine cauldrons, other than mastering the ancient bronze smelting technique, one also needed to master a large amount of ancient cultural knowledge.
For example, there were clear historical records.
"Shi Yi Ji" Volume 2 records: Yu cast nine tripods, five of which were used to respond to the Yang method, and four were used to symbolize the Yin number. He ordered the craftsman to use female gold as the Yin tripod and male gold as the Yang tripod. The tripod was always full to account for the weather...
Above, what is male gold and female gold?
Hundreds of experts searched through the ancient books, but they could not find the answer.
In addition, although the nine cauldrons of Yu the Great were real, they had long since decayed. The inscriptions on the nine cauldrons included beast faces, dragons and phoenixes, animals, clouds and lightning, fire, and geometry.
In addition, there were more than ten kinds of patterns that could not be studied.
It was precisely because of the difficulty of the restoration work that the nine cauldrons had been kept secret by the state and not announced to the public.
Four years ago, Ling Chen appeared in the capital and found the Palace Museum's Director, Qin Shanhe. He used his profound knowledge and extraordinary skills to gain his trust.
After that.
Ling Chen had disappeared for several months!
All because he was repairing the nine cauldrons alone!
And he succeeded in the end!
When the Nine Prefectures Cauldrons were successfully repaired, the higher-ups of the Dragon Country were alarmed!
There was no other reason!
The Nine Prefectures Cauldron was a national treasure of Huaxia!
Ling Chen, who had successfully repaired the Nine Prefectures Cauldrons, had undoubtedly contributed greatly to China's culture. He could be said to be the number one person in the current era!
……
At this moment.
Inside a conference room in the Palace Museum.
Qin Shanhe, the director of the Palace Museum, was discussing excitedly with a group of experts.
Looking around, they were all white-haired elders. Occasionally, there were a few middle-aged people. They were also god-level figures in the various cultural fields of China.
"In ten days, we will officially announce the reappearance of the Nine Cauldrons to the public!”
"The nine cauldrons are the national treasures of our Chinese nation. They are of great significance to patriotic education and the inheritance of civilization! The higher-ups had specially instructed that all preparations must be done during this period of time when the Nine Cauldrons appeared!”
Qin Shanhe paused, his expression solemn.
"In addition, the higher-ups have given special instructions!"
"On the day the Nine Prefectures Cauldrons and the other ten or so national treasures are made public, Ling Chen's awards and honors will also be announced to the entire nation! Without Ling Chen, the Nine Cauldrons would not have regained their glory!”
"Furthermore…Ling Chen's contributions are not just limited to this!”
"According to the instructions of the higher-ups, Ling Chen will be rewarded with the highest honor in the Dragon Country, the Republic Medal!”
What the hell!
Upon hearing this, all the elders present were excited and excited.
"That's right, Ling Chen's contribution is too great. Let alone one medal, even two or ten medals wouldn't be enough to offset his contribution to this country and the legacy of Chinese civilization!”
"As a Kingdom Knight, he deserves this honor!”
"I agree!"
Everyone discussed excitedly.
Qin Shanhe sighed and said," It's a pity that he didn't seem to be able to spare the time when I contacted him previously. But it's different now. He's received the Chinese medal. This is a huge matter! I should contact him again and ask him to come to Beijing.”
"Alright, everyone, go and prepare. The nine cauldrons have reappeared! All the citizens of the Dragon Country would be shocked! And this will usher in a new era!"
"The Nine Cauldrons have reappeared! It symbolized the rise of the Chinese nation, and all the people would welcome this glory!”
Qin Shanhe said passionately.
……
After the meeting ended, Qin Shanhe walked back to the director's office.
Assistant Xiao Chen followed beside Qin Shanhe, looking rather shocked.
No wonder.
At his level, this was the first time he knew the secret behind the Nine Prefectures Cauldrons.
The national treasure passed down from generation to generation, the Nine Prefectures Cauldron!
Three generations of the Dragon Country and hundreds of experts were unable to restore this cultural relic. However, four years ago, a young man named Ling Chen had completed the restoration by himself!
Heavens!
No wonder so many masters and professors in the meeting room were full of praise for Ling Chen!
"Xiao Chen, this is some information about Ling Chen. Take it over and study it carefully. You must be ready to receive him in ten days!”
Qin Shanhe handed over a document report.
The document report was marked with red permission.
This meant that this was the top secret information of the Dragon Country!
A craftsman or scholar in the cultural industry was listed as top secret?
The assistant felt his heart beat faster. He subconsciously took the document and glanced at it a few times. Suddenly, his pupils dilated.
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"
Qin Shanhe noticed the change in his assistant's expression and asked subconsciously.
"Old Qin…I…I know this Ling Chen.”
Assistant Xiao Chen exclaimed.
"You know Ling Chen?"
"His identity is top secret. How did you know?" Dean Qin asked.”
"It's on the Internet…"
Assistant Chen knew that the old principal was not like a young man. She had been scrolling through her phone all day long. Of course, she did not know about the recent hype on the Internet.
Assistant Chen gulped and handed the phone over while trembling.
A few minutes later, Qin Shanhe, who understood the whole story, slammed the table and stood up with a furious expression!
"Ridiculous!"
"Ling Chen is a traitor who betrayed Chinese culture? He even joined the Fusang Society and praised the Fusang civilization? This is ridiculous!"
Following that, Qin Shanhe was extremely excited. His eyes were sharp as he said in a trembling voice,"Foolish, they are too foolish! Hundreds of millions of netizens across the country were actually criticizing Ling Chen and calling him a traitor? Simply stupid!"
In Qin Shanhe's eyes.
That young man was hot-blooded!
His attachment and love for the Dragon Country and Huaxia had long been deeply integrated into his blood and soul!
Moreover, it was no exaggeration to say that Ling Chen was a Kingdom Knight of China!
How could such a statesman betray his own country's culture and heritage?
"Hey!"
After a long time, Qin Shanhe sighed.
Tears streamed down his face.
"Headmaster…"
The assistant was frightened.
"You go out first."
Qin Shanhe shook his hand.
After the assistant left the office, Qin Shanhe finally calmed down. After wiping his tears, he picked up the phone on the table and pressed a button.
"Elder Qi, I have something to report…"
"Yes, it's urgent. It's about the Chinese medal winner…Ling Chen.”
