A treasure-appraisal maniac

Lu Fei had more than one golden cup in his hand, but none of them could compare with the Jinou Yonggu Cup.

The value of the Jin'ou Yonggu Cup is not just because of its rarity. The important point is that it is the wine cup used by the emperor.

According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong attached great importance to the production of "Jinou Yonggu Cup".

Not only do they need to use precious materials such as gold, pearls, and gems from the inner treasury, but also each step in the production process must be carefully drawn and presented, and the work can only be completed after the emperor's approval.

During the production process, it was revised again and again until the emperor was very satisfied.

Every process from design to production of the cup has been repeatedly submitted to the emperor for review and modification.

The wine glass that the emperor valued so much must be of great use.

Starting from Emperor Yongzheng, a pen-opening ceremony, also known as a pen test, has been held every New Year's Day.

It was established as a standard during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, and subsequent emperors respected it and never violated it. .??.

As soon as midnight arrives and the new year begins, amidst the sound of firecrackers, the emperor sits in a small cubicle titled "Ming Window" in the southwest corner of the East Nuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Qianlong personally lit the wax stand named "Jade Candle Changtiao" and poured Tusu wine into the gold cup engraved with the words "Jin Ou Yong Gu".

Then use a writing brush with "Eternal Green" engraved on the tube to dip in red ink and write a few auspicious words such as "Peace in the world" and "Longevity and longevity", and then browse the presented New Year's almanac.

Sometimes, the emperor would compose a poem about the New Year's Day test, most of which described the emperor welcoming the new year beside the jade candle and the golden urn, praying for the success of political peace, the eternal protection of the country, and the unification of the country for thousands of years.

After the opening ceremony, the emperor sorted them out one by one with his own hands and ordered the palace to collect them for use on New Year's Day next year.

The emperor only uses it once a year, so you can imagine how meaningful it is.

After putting away the golden cup, only the last big box was left.

This box is 1.5 meters long, 1 meter wide, 70 centimeters high, and weighs over 200 kilograms.

When he got off the plane, Lu Fei

He took great care of this box and personally worked with Zhu Tianbao and two others to lift it up steadily.

Lu Fei had high hopes for such a big box and such a heavy weight.

Especially the treasures in the previous two boxes were so awesome, which made Lu Fei look forward to the items on the opposite side even more.

After opening the wooden packaging box, taking off the two layers of protective foam, and seeing clearly what was inside, Lu Fei screamed in surprise.

"Fuck!"

"Is this a bronze ban?"

"beautiful!"

The word "ban" in Bronze Ban means to abstain from drinking alcohol.

Since the people of the Zhou Dynasty witnessed the demise of the Shang Dynasty with their own eyes, they believed that one of the reasons for the demise of the Xia and Shang dynasties was excessive drinking.

Therefore, the table holding the wine glasses is called "forbidden".

The Zhou Dynasty also issued the earliest prohibition on alcohol in China, the "Jiu Gao".

It stipulates that princes and princes are not allowed to drink alcohol inappropriately, and can only drink alcohol during sacrifices.

The people gathered together to drink and were escorted to the capital to be executed.

Anyone who fails to comply with the prohibition will also be punished with death.

This copper ban is a typical Spring and Autumn style.

The forbidden length is just over one meter, the overall length is 1.3 meters, the forbidden width is 48 centimeters, the overall width is 70 centimeters, the forbidden height is 15 centimeters, and the overall height is 30 centimeters. The overall shape is rectangular.

Twelve dragon-shaped beasts have their heads raised, bellies swollen and tails raised. The crown ornaments on the top of their heads and the horn ornaments on both sides are embossed with perforated cloud patterns, and tail flowers are inserted into the tails of the beasts.

The animal head faces the forbidden face, opens its mouth and sticks out its tongue, and the tongue rolls up to the top of the forbidden face, as if its eyes are staring at the fine wine on the forbidden face, salivating.

There are twelve dragon-shaped beasts at the bottom of the forbidden area supporting the forbidden body, with their chests and waists raised.

Cloud pattern copper forbidden body, twelve dragon-shaped attached animals

It is composed of three parts: 12 dragon-shaped beasts.

The forbidden body consists of a forbidden surface and surrounding side walls. The wall thickness is less than five centimeters and hollow.

In the thickness of the copper ban, which is less than five centimeters, there are five layers of structure.

The fifth layer is composed of extra thick straight copper stems forming a mouth shape.

One end of the fourth layer of thin copper stems is attached to the fifth layer of square-shaped copper stems. It stretches flat and then bends upward or upward to support the third layer of copper stems after bifurcating upward.

The third layer of copper stems is a thin straight stem.

The second floor stands on the copper stems of the third floor. It is a small round column that gradually becomes thinner or a herringbone column with forks below.

These four layers of copper stems are interspersed and connected to form a rectangular frame, which supports the moiré pattern and plays a stabilizing and load-bearing role.

The first and outermost layer is cloud pattern, which is mostly composed of C-shaped patterns, deformed herringbone patterns and X-shaped patterns. They intersect but do not intersect with each other, forming an open-carved moiré plane.

The middle of the forbidden surface is composed of a rectangular flat copper plate, and there is a reinforcing beam on the back of the copper plate.

There are twelve sprues above the buttocks of the twelve beasts that support the copper ban at the four corners of the base and the lower end of the ban, with remaining pillars remaining at the sprues.

There are twelve riser marks at the midpoint of every two beasts on the bottom edge of the forbidden side.

There are twelve dragon-shaped monsters clinging around the forbidden area, four at the front and back, and two on the left and right sides.

The attached beast and the forbidden body are combined by mortises and tenons. There are twelve mortises and tenons on the forbidden body, and there is a mortise and tenon on each of the twelve attached beasts' bellies.

The same is true for the foot beast. There are twelve protruding pillars at the bottom of the ban, and there is a hole at the waist of the foot beast that can be inserted through.

This patchwork design, ingenious shape, and exquisite casting technology make the whole object full of domineering power, forming a mysterious and distinctive artistic effect that is breathtaking.

Such a complicated technique, even if it is a modern imitation, cannot be produced without absolute real skill.

The shape of the device itself is a

It's a miracle, and what's even more awesome is that this moiré copper ban uses the lost wax method.

The lost wax method is one of the three major casting methods invented in ancient China. It is a casting method that utilizes the fusibility of wax to cast parts with complex structures that are difficult to separate.

According to literature, the earliest time when China used the lost wax process was in the early Tang Dynasty.

However, with this copper ban, this conclusion can be directly pushed forward for more than 1,100 years.

It can be said that the historical significance far exceeds the artifact itself.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a true national treasure.

It’s so awesome!

Stroking the bronze ban, Lu Fei even imagined the life-or-death scene of Guan Haishan seeing it.

If Lao Jun sees this, Juebi will mobilize all connections to donate it himself.

However, that is absolutely impossible.

Turn on the flashlight, get close to the copper taboo and appreciate it bit by bit.

Appreciating every texture and every monster, Lu Fei seemed to have the scene in his mind when the ancients forged this copper ban.

The more Lu Fei watched, the more excited he became, his blood was boiling with excitement and his heart was filled with excitement!

The wisdom of the ancients is really great.

At the same time, Lu Fei felt annoyed again.

Damn it!

Such a great treasure should appear in the hands of foreigners. This is simply a shame for China!

These three treasures and the "Yongle Dian" are just the remuneration paid by the Robert family to themselves.

Lu Fei could imagine that there must be many such treasures in their home.

There are many super babes who are even more awesome than these.

Wait for me!

Sooner or later, I will take it all back.

This is China’s national treasure and they don’t deserve it.
