What is the first word on the inscription on Gou Jian's sword?

Why only ask the first word of the inscription? Other words are also interesting. Why don't you take a spoon and I'll give you three thousand dollars? Let's get down to business. Looking at this bird-printed inscription at the beginning really triggered a heated discussion among archaeologists and ancient philologists.

(1) the sword of Gou Jian.

This sword made by Gou Jian, King of Yue, is exquisite: the length of the sword is 55.7 cm, the length of the handle is 8.4 cm, and the width of the sword is 4.6 cm. The head of the sword turned out to be an iron ring, in which 1 1 concentric circles were cast. The thinnest part of the hoop looks like a hair. The lower part of the sword lattice is inlaid with blue glass, and the back part is inlaid with turquoise, which can emit faint blue light even in the dark; The blade is criss-crossed with mysterious and beautiful black diamond patterns. There are two lines of bird seal inscriptions on the sword body near Jiange, which are very well preserved. ?

The legend of this sword has always been nothing more than two points. One is that the sword itself is extremely sharp, and the other is who owns the sword?

Let's talk about the first point. The reason why this sword is an unparalleled magic weapon is inseparable from its casting process. According to the laboratory test data, the bronze alloy of this sword is mainly composed of copper, tin and a small amount of aluminum, iron, nickel and sulfur. In addition, it is more important that Gou Jian's sword ridge contains more copper, which makes the sword tough and not easy to break. The high content of tin in the blade not only increases the hardness of the sword, but also makes the sword extremely sharp.

So you see, although it is the same sword, the proportion of metal in different parts of the sword is different, which requires that metal objects must be cast twice in the casting process before they can be combined into one. What is this called in professional terms? Composite metal process? Our country had mastered this technology as early as the Spring and Autumn Period more than two thousand years ago.

(2) Goujian Sword Inscription

As for the owner of the second sword, the interpretation of the inscription is very important. First of all, what is the first word of the inscription? Yue? Undoubtedly, what is the eight-character inscription from right to top? Gou Jian, the King of Yue, first used a sword? .

Mr. Fang Zhuangyou, who was in charge of the excavation at that time, also explained it at the beginning? Betty Wong (? ) Self-use sword? These six words, but for the most important of them, are temporarily interpreted as? Shao Hua? , that is? Shao Hua, the king of Yue, used his sword at first sight? . So the tomb of Jiangling Wangshan 1 is considered as the tomb of King Yue, and what about this King Yue? Shao Hua? In history, Yue, the son of Yue King, has no boundaries.

However, many scholars expressed doubts about this preliminary opinion, including famous ancient philologists and Yu, and famous archaeologists Xia Nai and Chen. They agreed that it should be interpreted as? Shallow? And then what? Shallow? That's true. Gou Jian? Interchangeable words of.
