Chapter 357 Chess in the Han Dynasty

Are there really chairs from the Han Dynasty?

The earliest historical records about chairs or stools come from the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", which records the story of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty building an imperial bed (similar in shape to the current folding stool).

However, the Hu bed is at best a horse trap used by fishermen, and is still a bit different from a square stool.

It is generally believed that the official appearance of chairs and stools did not occur until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

But Zhang Yang didn't look like Yao Zheng was telling lies.

Then stop talking nonsense, and quickly take out what you found and show it, whether it is a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk.

Yao Zheng spent a long time introducing it before focusing the camera on a rectangular wooden box.

Seeing the things inside, Zhang Yang first frowned in confusion.

Wait until the other party takes out the things completely...

He quickly reached out and pretended to touch his nose, but actually covered his mouth to prevent others from seeing him laughing wildly.

Hahaha, this Yao Zheng is so funny.

He said the evidence he was looking for was a three-dimensional jade chess set from the Han Dynasty.

The overall specifications are similar to the current chess, with sixteen chess pieces on one side, but the pieces are represented by three-dimensional carvings. For example, the "elephant" inside is actually an elephant carved from jade.

The "general" and "handsome" in chess are both sitting on chairs.

This is how the chairs of the Han Dynasty came about.

But the question is: Is this really the chess of the Han Dynasty?

Zhang Yang remembered that the seniors in the high school chess club had popularized science. Even this kind of primitive upright chess only existed in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, there was only the rudiment of chess: Sai Xi.

Even if it is because Director Yao has the view that "the absence of historical records does not mean that it does not exist", regardless of historical facts, this jade chess board + chess pieces are also very strange.

They are almost made of the same material as the set of dressing tables and stools from the Han Dynasty - green yellow jade, and even the carvings and signs of distressing are similar.

Zhang Yang has never seen the actual 220 million dresser + stool set, but after video appraisal of the set Yao Zheng took out, he is 100% sure that it is a modern handicraft.

Maybe it was a chess piece carved from scraps from a dressing table.

"How's it going? Do you still have any questions?"

Yao Zheng held the "handsome" chess piece and pointed at the chair below and said proudly.

Zhang Yang was hesitating whether to question or not when the female host spoke first.

The program team seems to have really prepared a question and acted it out in full.

"Teacher Yao, is this chess piece of yours really from the Han Dynasty? Since we are not experts in this field, we have some doubts."

"Of course, since I took them back from private collectors, they have been displayed in the China-Tibet Association in Yanjing and have been viewed by many experts. There are no problems at all."

[Then let Master Zhang take a look]

[Yes, I believe in Master Zhang]

[There are ready-made experts here, let people express their opinions]

[I am a professional collector of chess, and this thing can only be evaluated with the word "ridiculous\
