The exhibition is based on the cultural relics unearthed from the Famen Temple, and the background of the Tang Dynasty society is used to make full use of the means of modern exhibitions to reproduce the social scene, civilized achievements and value pursuit of the ancient Chinese heyday of "Datang".

Tang people often "eat tea"

Entering the Famen Temple Museum, the east and west exhibition halls distributed by the word "Pin" and the imitation Tang architecture of "Treasure Pavilion" make people seem to be in the Great Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago.

It is understood that the exhibition with the theme of "quiet glory -Famen Temple History and Cultural Display" exhibited in these three exhibition halls, with a total area of 2,800 square meters, through the "Pagoda Qianqiu Tanlin Classic", "Earth Palace Reappear, Reappear of the Palace Palace", respectively.

Among them, a set of gold and silver tea utensils unearthed from the Famen Temple Palace, which empirical the ancient people made of tea and tea in Lu Yu's "Tea Sutra" and the Tang Dynasty tea ceremony.

In people's minds, the Tang Dynasty was always a special existence. As the most desirable country, the Tang Dynasty had all the beautiful imagination of ancient times. In the beautiful and moving verses, in the paintings depicted by Gongbi, on the cliffs of solidifying faith, we look back countless times to this glory era that makes the world dream of dreams. What is the life of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

China is the hometown of tea. Tea naturally has tea in the exquisite life of the Tang people. According to Shi Zai, in the Tang Dynasty, with the improvement of tea production level, the wind of drinking tea was popular, "tea ceremony, and the princes of the princes and princes", many writers and poets drink tea and make poetry to show elegance. This kind. The atmosphere also affects the emperor. So, how does the Tang people use tea?

It is understood that the gold and silver tea device used by Tang Yongzong Li Zong, which was unearthed from the Famen Temple, was divided into five parts: tea storage, roller, tea sieve, salt storage device, and tea cooking device. The materials were all silver and gold. Among them, the silver tea Luo Zi of the tea device weighs 1473 grams, the silver tea crusher and the tuó (Tuó) weighs 1693 grams, and the craftsmanship is extremely sophisticated. Gold and silver tea set.

From this set of tea sets, the Tang people's "eating" tea process is very sophisticated. First, take the tea from the tea cage. After roasting, use the tea crowns to study, and then use the tea Luozi to sieve it. In the middle, after boiling the water, add salt first, then take out the tea and put it into the pot to boil, and then use the tea bowl to be split.

Why did the ancients call tea drinking "tea"? According to the "Tea Jing", Shennong's discovery of tea began. Guipi, orange peel, mint leaves and other materials, also add salt, so it is called "tea".

In the Tang Dynasty, the court of court, temple, and literati of the tea ceremony pursued the true flavor of tea, and focused on the sense of the process of making tea and tea. It was mainly tea tasting, but still used the saying of "eating tea".

Tang people are fragrant

People often say "smelling incense", but "fragrant" is not only used by modern people. The ancients believed in "aroma nourishment". In the Tang Dynasty, incense was more abundant. In addition to the incense of incense, the Tang Dynasty banquet members, sitting alone, the case head pillow, and the light of the lights were indispensable to accompany them. It can be said that in the life of the Tang Dynasty There is a fragrance everywhere.

The gilt dual -moth -patterned silver sachet unearthed from the Famen Temple was so far that the most exquisite and largest volume of the Tang Dynasty sachets were found in the world. Its built -in gyroscope principle was called "black technology" at that time. "Break -up and light powder, warm hands." From the description of Tang poetry, we can see that one of the uses of the sachet may also be used to warm hands.

In addition to the sachets, the Famen Temple also unearthed the golden furnace of the golden -bed turtle lotus pattern worshiped by Tang Yongzong with a silver incense burner and the golden double phoenix pattern.

The incense burner is the main fragrance utensils, and it is also a must -have for the celebration, sacrifice etiquette, and religious activities. It is understood that this dazzling incense vessels have inscriptions, and the incense burner can be used on the furnace. Not only is the origin clear, the production is clear, but also the shape of the instrument is graceful and luxurious, and the decoration is exquisite and rich, representing the highest level of the manufacturing process of the gold and silver instruments at that time. The incense burner and the furnace are unearthed. This is the first time in my country.

Why is the Tang people so fascinated by incense? First of all, the prevalence of Buddhism, incense as an indispensable link in the Buddhist ritual, becoming popular; second, incense is a etiquette and a culture. At that time, people generally believed that incense was a symbol of gentlemen and literati. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, the incense point, eating, and fighting, it is a pity that the specific details of the Tang Dynasty fragrance have been difficult to find in the history books.

Tang people love silk

China is the earliest country to raise silkworms and weaving silk. A gorgeous silk allows the world to know the ancient and mysterious oriental country, and it also gives beauty and fashion a new posture.

According to the monument of the "Clothing Account" of the Famen Temple: Wu Zetian, Tang Yizong, Qi Zong, Empress Hui and other queen queen queen, including the Famen Temple Palace There are many, complete, quality, and rich connotations. It is rare in the Tang Dynasty silk archeology. Among them, the half -arm of the purple and red Luodi gold embroidery is the most exquisite. Regarding "Golden Embroidery", there were records in the ancient books that Du Fu's poem "Gold Gold Peacock and Silver Kirin" described the top court costumes in the Tang Dynasty.

The purple and red Luodi of the Famen Temple is half -armed with gold embroidery. The clothes are typical of the Tang Dynasty lady short -sleeved top, that is, "half -arm", which is only over the chest. The half -arm is covered with the golden line with the golden line. And more than 3,000 circles on the golden line per meter, which is the modern high -tech method, it is difficult to reach this level of craftsmanship, which is incredible.
