There are hundreds of Western Zhou jade articles in Henan tomb, only one of which is outside the coffin. Appraised by experts, it is a national treasure.

Before the Zhou Dynasty became a huge kingdom, it was an ancient tribe. In Wugong County and Yangling District of Shaanxi Province today, they are deeply rooted and thrive, and they have also built cities, developed rapidly and led well. They also set up their own army. While merchants gradually declined, Zhou gradually grew and soon became a powerful country in the middle reaches of Weihe River. Zhou Wuwang was the monarch of Zhou Dynasty, and he led the merchants with troops. Perhaps many people mentioned Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty, and they were most impressed by bronzes. At that time, the refining technology was at its peak, but I didn't expect that the excavation of an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty in Henan changed everyone's views with a cultural relic that went against the sky.

At that time, the excavation of this ancient tomb gave archaeologists a surprise gift, because the number of cultural relics unearthed in it was amazing, and more than 300 jade carvings were released by animals alone. These lifelike jade carvings make people admire the skills of the people at that time, but what makes experts feel very strange is that there is a translucent jade in this ancient tomb outside the main coffin, which makes people feel very puzzled. Maybe many people don't know the symbol of jade in ancient times. In fact, the ancients spoke highly of jade. They think that jade has surpassed the existence of Jin Mu's five elements of fire, water and earth, so its function is very important, and it has the function of purifying the soul. We know that the ancients thought that a pure soul without impurities could ascend to heaven, so jade was placed in the main coffin to play a so-called purification role.

However, after careful observation, archaeologists found that it is not only a piece of jade, but also attached to the end of iron. Experts also found another rusty iron block. After the two pieces were spliced together, the experts were pleasantly surprised. Because more than 2800 years ago, even if it was placed all over the world, there were basically no traces of iron, so this rusty iron block is of great significance. Experts finally determined that this is actually a jade handle iron cut.

When naming, experts struggled for a long time, because it was a dagger-like object, but it didn't show its importance. Moreover, this dagger is not ordinary, but made of iron, copper and jade. Finally, after many consultations, it was named "Iron Sword with Jade Handle". Of course, this still can't perfectly show its true historical value, so I chose this "iron sword with jade handle". Its position in cultural relics can be seen.

Of course, this iron sword with jade handle is indeed worthy of this title, which indicates that the country is undergoing a transformation from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age and is the bud of a new representative of social productive forces. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure.
