This object is a strip-shaped Han jade border with a length of 52.5 cm and a width of 9.0 cm.
The shape of this Han jade border is one with an obtuse angle at the top and one with an acute angle, and two sets of patterns are engraved on both sides of the radial part and the handle. The patterns are divided into upper and lower parts, facing each other, showing symmetry.
layout.
These patterns depict scenes of ancestors holding aloft Yazhang in sacrificial places to offer sacrifices to the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.
It has been recorded in "The Rites of Zhou" that "Zhang worships mountains and rivers."
Therefore, Zhang can be used as a ritual vessel for offering sacrifices to mountains in ancient times. The ancients also believed that mountains are the places closest to the sky on the ground, so the purpose of offering sacrifices to mountains is to reach the sky and obtain blessings from the gods.
Therefore, the ancient "Tianshan Sacrifice" was the most important sacrificial activity. It can be seen that the main function of the Han Jade Bianzhang is to worship mountains.
The big hand falling from the sky on the Han Jade Bianzhang represents that the god has accepted people's prayers and stretched out his thumb to press on the mountainside to bless the people in the lower world.
In addition, this thing has a long history and a long history, so the value of this Han Jade Bianzhang is immeasurable, because it not only has high research value, but is also a priceless thing at any time.
But for such an important item, during the last comprehensive review conducted by the aftermath committee, after comparing the serial numbers, they discovered that the box containing the Han Dynasty jade Zhang was actually empty.
Some people may think that compared to the vast array of palace cultural relics, a small Bian Zhang might have been lost due to a moment of negligence.
But to tell an interesting thing, no one thinks so. When the aftermath committee started working, most of the investigators had never entered the palace before, so they inevitably had some new and curious feelings. In addition, no one had any
Have experienced this.
Therefore, the enumeration work started at the Qianqing Palace. The person responsible for the enumeration immediately recorded the first thing he saw after entering the door, and then numbered it according to the order of the thousand-character script.
But in the end, it was discovered that this 'Number One' cultural relic was nothing more than an ordinary wooden stool.
But it can also be seen from this that when it comes to checking items, these people have really formed the habit of archiving and recording everything in detail.
Therefore, the aftermath committee is completely based on the working principle of "prefer to make mistakes rather than allow mistakes and omissions", which means that the possibility of losing cultural relics due to carelessness is almost non-existent.
Therefore, it is certain that the loss of this rare treasure is no accident.
After the aftermath committee learned about this incident, they immediately started an investigation. They looked through the "discharge" records and found the initial enumeration list. Who knew they made another surprising discovery? It turned out that those responsible for the investigation of Yonghe Palace
Among the team members, one person quit midway for some reason and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Speaking of which, this incident was also an accident, because when this person quit the group, the investigation of Yonghe Palace was already coming to an end, but everything remained safe and sound.
However, at this time, the work of the aftermath committee is still very heavy and intense. Since some people are absent, they have to temporarily supplement the manpower, so there is no time to take care of other issues.
But now!
If the thing is gone, they will definitely investigate, and according to the investigation, this person's name is Xiao Bode, a history professor at Yanda University.
When this person entered the Forbidden City for the last time, he suddenly fell ill during the inspection and was immediately sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. He was never seen again.
At first, everyone thought that he was seriously ill and therefore unable to continue working. Unexpectedly, after the Hanyu Bianzhang was lost, the people from the aftermath committee wanted to check with Professor Xiao to verify the situation, and found out that he had come out of the hospital that day, but he had not been there at all.
Returning to his residence, he even disappeared directly like a yellow crane.
At this time, the investigation must continue, because this matter is of great importance, so after discussion, everyone agreed that the investigation cannot be made public for the time being.
The reasons are mainly from two aspects. The first is that the aftermath of the house clearance has attracted widespread attention. Once the news of the loss of cultural relics spreads, it will inevitably cause a public uproar. When the time comes, public opinion will criticize and the pressure from relevant departments will definitely increase.
It will be overwhelming.
The second aspect is that assuming that the theft really exists and the thief has not yet left the capital, such a high-profile search will only serve to alert the suspect and make the criminal even more invisible.
Therefore, they decided to adopt the strategy of loosening up outside and tightening inside. On the surface, they remained calm, and the aftermath work was carried out as usual. They secretly dispatched police detectives to conduct surveillance on various routes out of Beijing to strictly prevent the suspects from escaping.
Of course, on the other hand, they have to entrust capable personnel to conduct secret investigations.
Considering the confidentiality factor, investigators not only need to be astute and experienced, but also try to avoid official overtones. Therefore, they hired two well-known private detectives to investigate the matter secretly.
But to be honest, the time they spent investigating this thing was also very tight, because during the investigation process, the aftermath committee made some unexpected discoveries in the Yangxin Hall. These unexpected discoveries were between the late Emperor Puyi and the old officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Tablets and documents of conspiracy to restore the country.
In addition, according to reliable information, after Puyi was expelled from the palace, he first lived in Prince Chun's Mansion, and soon moved to the Japanese Concession in Tianjin. He maintained close contact with many old and young people from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and wanted to continue the restoration.
activities, so returning to the palace and regaining the throne became their dream.
In view of this situation, completely changing the appearance of the Forbidden City is undoubtedly the most powerful measure to resist the restoration trend. Therefore, the aftermath committee believes that the Palace Museum should be established as soon as possible to return this magical and ancient palace to the people.
Therefore, the government has accepted the proposal and is planning to formally announce this decision on the fifth day after the proposal is made public. At that time, the "Investigation Report of the House Clearance and Aftermath Committee" will also be publicly released.
Therefore, in order to publish the inspection report and ensure the safety of the cultural relics, the First Reconciliation Committee conducted a final comprehensive review of the Qing Palace treasures. It was at this time that they discovered that something was missing.
Therefore, the investigation time is less than five days. Before they publicly launch the "Investigation Report of the Clearing House and Aftermath Committee", whether they have recovered Yuzhang or not, they must give a practical conclusion, so as to give the public a
