In 1999, another batch of tombs of the Warring States Period was found at the west foot of Yellow Crane, where Tomb No. 1 of the Warring States Period (the tomb unearthed from the crystal cup) was found. The jade sword decorations with cloud dragon pattern (jade with sword), carved double dragon jade decorations with openwork and jade sword decorations with divine animal pattern of the Warring States period exhibited in this exhibition were all unearthed in this batch of tombs.
The jade sword is very rare in Zhejiang and even in China. This set of jade sword decorations is green and yellow in color. It is divided into four parts: scabbard, grid, sword and sword. Each trim is decorated with curly clouds, which is harmonious and unified as a whole. The Yue people use snakes as totems. The images of snakes and snake like decorations often appear on the funerary objects in the tomb of Yue. This set of jade sword decorations is well made, finely carved, and decorated with snake patterns, which are mostly used by nobles.
The other two jade ornaments are also elaborate and exquisite. The openwork double dragon jade decoration is oval. The outline of the dragon is carved by hollowing out method, and two opposite dragons are carved on both sides of the object with thin incised lines; The sword ornament with divine animal pattern is shaped like a handle. It shows a pair of phoenix patterns with cloud patterns and yin lines. The whole body is carved with fine feather patterns with thin yin lines.
In 1987, the Hangzhou Commercial Storage and Transportation Company on Chaohui Road unexpectedly found a cellar when it rebuilt its warehouse, and 54 pieces of exquisite Yuan Dynasty porcelain, including Yuan blue and white, underglaze red, Shufu glaze, and Ji blue glaze, were successively unearthed, causing a sensation. Two of the exhibits were unearthed here.
Longquan Kiln's powder blue glaze Gu is a porcelain in the shape of a bronze Gu. The body is thick and firm. With powder blue glaze, the glaze is moist and smooth, and the color is pure. The exquisite level of Longquan kiln porcelain reached its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty, represented by blue and white glazed porcelain. Although the production of Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty was still huge and the types of porcelain increased, the highest level was not as good as that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and blue and white glazed porcelain was very rare.
Blue and white glaze carved flower sea and water tap pattern altar is covered with blue and white glaze, and the glaze color is bright and moist. This blue and white porcelain altar is a relatively rare large porcelain of the same type found in the same period so far, which can be said to be a perfect combination between the Han nationality's appreciation of porcelain and the nomadic nationality's demand for porcelain.
Zhaoqing Temple was originally an ancient Wuyue Temple. During the Five Dynasties, it was established by Qian Yuanguan, the King of Wuyue, and was called Bodhi Hall at that time. It was once one of the famous royal five mountain and ten temples in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhaoqing Temple has been built and destroyed repeatedly in history, and the existing Mahavira Hall was rebuilt when it was transformed into a Children's Palace after the founding of New China. In 1994, when the staff was cleaning up the old site of Zhaoqing Temple, they found a batch of bronze wares in the ancient well at the entrance, including the bronze fumigation stove made in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), which was an elephant trunk, four legged cloud dragon, and beast button.
This copper fuming furnace is made of red copper, square and round, and consists of a cover, a furnace body and a base. There are two lines of four character regular script "Xuande Nian" on the bottom of the furnace. The overall shape and ornate decoration, exquisite casting technology, is the best of the Ming Dynasty copper incense burner.
