Introduction to Zhao Qing Bird Zun: In 1988, the world-shaking Zhao Qing tomb and its chariot and horse pit were unearthed in Jinsheng Village, Taiyuan City. 3,421 cultural relics were unearthed from the entire tomb, including 1,402 bronzes. The types, quantities and types of cultural relics unearthed on such a scale not only reflect the prominent status and power of the tomb owner Zhao Qing, but we can also see Zhao Qing’s contempt for Zhou rites and his determination to innovate. Family spirit. According to research, this Zhao Qing is most likely Zhao Jianzi, who has been in charge of the military and political power of the Jin State for more than 50 years in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and is famous in history for "casting the punishment tripod". This national treasure bird statue unearthed from Zhao Qing's tomb is a representative cultural relic that reflects Zhao Qing's ambition and illustrious martial arts during his lifetime. The difference between this bird statue and the bird statue unearthed from the Jinhou Cemetery is that it is a wine vessel with a wine hole that can be used in daily life. There is a handle cast on the back of the bird. The handle is in the shape of a tiger, with teeth and claws showing. Bite the bird's neck firmly. If you lift the handle and gradually tilt it, the movable mouth of the bird's upper beak will open with gravity, and the wine will flow out naturally. It is both practical and ingenious. The bird statue as a whole still imitates the shape of a poultry's small head and fat body, but the head image of this bird is obviously a sharp-eyed, majestic bird of prey, staring eagerly ahead. Looking at the lower part of the bird of prey's body, its feet are interestingly made into webbed duck paws. The two fat duck paws firmly support the bird's body, symbolizing the tomb. The owner is full of confidence in his restraint. Looking at the back and lower part of the bird statue, there is a small tiger-shaped foot that digs the ground with its front paws and jumps up with its hind feet, firmly supporting the weight of the rear part of the bird statue's body, making it possible even if the bird statue is filled with wine. Liquid will not cause the bird statue to tilt.
