In the late 1960s, Marta Yan Fei was unearthed from a Han tomb in Wuwei City, Gansu Province. The shape of this bronze ware is very imaginative. A galloping horse trampled on the bird. The steed is vigorous, full of lines, with slender limbs and three feet flying, leaving only one foot on a bird under it. Once the flying swallow on horseback came out, it caused a sensation. Guo Moruo was shocked by the artistry of this bronze after seeing it, and shot it for him? Swallow it? The name of this same art.
On the recommendation of Guo Moruo, Mata Yanfei got the opportunity to exhibit in Beijing. This exhibition made it shine brilliantly and won the favor of cultural relics experts from all over the world. Marta Yan Fei is highly praised for its outstanding artistry. Now this cultural relic is treasured in Gansu Museum.
Who is the owner of the tomb unearthed by Mata Yanfei? At present, there is no conclusion in the industry. Archaeologists can confirm that the tomb dates from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty. There are many speculations about the identity of the tomb owner, among which the owner is? General Zhang? This technology has a wider impact.
Along with the horse stepping on the swallow, there are sacrificial ceremonies for bronze chariots, horses and warriors, as well as hundreds of cultural relics such as gold, silver, jade and pottery, from which we can judge the identity of the owner in the tomb. When the archaeological team first opened the tomb, they didn't find a complete body. If the grave is stolen, there is no trace of the coffin being destroyed.
Therefore, to make such a judgment, there may be no whole body when buried, only residual limbs are left. It can be roughly judged that the owner of the tomb is probably a senior general who died in battle.
