The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　 After the Guo family boss finished speaking, Zhang Nan smiled and said: "Mr. Guo, is this piece really given to me?

　　 Don't regret it, bronze 盨 is rare, a good thing from the Western Zhou Dynasty, baby! "

　　 Boss Guo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said: "I said Mr. Zhang, you like this thing, it was originally given to you.

　　 is this.. This thing is called "Xu"?

　　 I was a little curious, no one in Xiangjiang knew what this thing was. What was it used for in ancient times? "

　　 Zhang Nan didn't answer the conversation, but asked again: "Really gave me away? Don't regret it?"

　　 Big Boss Guo even made a board, pretending to be unhappy, with a firm attitude: "If you say send it, you will give it away. If you don't receive it, I'm not happy!"

　　 "Haha..." Zhang Nan laughed and said, "Then I will be welcome.

　　 This is a piece of 盨, pronounced xǔ, it is a change from the bronze 簋 popular in the Shang Dynasty.

The ritual utensils used to serve millet and rice rice became popular in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. It can be regarded as a very high-end rice bowl, but it hasn't been popular for hundreds of years. It basically disappeared in the early spring and autumn, so it is now discovered and preserved. The number down is very small.

　　 The style of this piece is supposed to be from the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, a ritual vessel nearly 3000 years ago, but this is only half of it. "

　　 Zhang Nan picked up the 盨 placed on the tea table, "The lid is gone, but it was lost in the early years. The old rust on the ring has been wrapped around. There is no such rust in the northern pit in 2000."

　　 Looking at this rusty piece, it is definitely the northern pit that hasn’t been seen again.

　　 Needless to say, the smuggled ones, in the distribution center of Xiangjiang, such a common-looking bronze ware that no one can understand is not very eye-catching.

　　 There are too few connoisseurs who know Ying, if it weren’t for a bunch of real experts on Chinese history and archaeology, and he likes to learn, Zhang Nan would not have recognized it.

Now it seems that fortunately, there is a ring of phoenix bird pattern near the mouth of this 盨, and the ring of tile groove pattern on the abdomen is also quite exquisite, plus there are two or three faintly in the "pelvic floor". The inscription, otherwise it won’t be tall in the short, and bought by the Guo family as a gift to Zhang Nan.

　　Looking at ordinary, the biggest value of this piece is that it has a gambling nature: since there are faint inscriptions, if there are a few more interesting words, it will become more fun.

　　 The seller heard that the Guo family wanted more weird objects. Although they didn't know what they were buying, this kind of gambling artifact was the most suitable.

　　 is suitable for slow research, more inscriptions may exist, but according to the seller's experience, it is good that such artifacts have three or five characters inscriptions.

　　Betting, let the Guo family gamble, the asking price is quite real.

　　盨 was held in the hand by Zhang Nan, and it felt like he weighed about 5 kg, was elliptical, with a straight mouth, circle feet, and a pointed and wide arc in the middle of the circle feet.

　　 The abdomen is slightly bulging, the head of the beast has two ears, and there should be a ring inside the ear ring, but this will be as early as the lid. I don't know which dynasty I lost.

　　 Look carefully, the workmanship of this 盨 is actually quite exquisite. The phoenix bird pattern is composed of a total of 12 phoenixes. The phoenix has a pointed beak and a crown. The body is small and the tail is long.

　　 Zhang Nan looked carefully, and said to others by the way: "Zhou people admired the phoenix and regarded it as auspicious, so they often carved the phoenix pattern on the bronze ware.

　　 The casting date of this bronze 盨 is a artifact from the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the late Western Zhou Dynasty, two thousand eight or nine hundred years ago.

　　This kind of formation should be relatively early in the development sequence of the 盨. From the characteristics of this bird pattern..."

　　 Zhang Nan raised his head and thought for himself, then said: "It should be the mid-late Western Zhou Dynasty, probably before and after King Zhou Xiao and King Yi.

　　 One became the emperor in 910 years ago, and he was the emperor for 15 years. The next one was next to the throne. It should have died in 880 BC, about 2900 years ago.

　　 But this Zhou Xiaowang should have some problems, it's almost the same as Zhou Kaowang..."

　　 Speaking of this, Zhang Nan suddenly stopped.

　　 It's okay to say that you missed your mouth-King Zhou Xiao? In the "Pan" dug up by the leader, he clearly described the person named Kao Wang, not the King of Filial Piety.

　　 This year, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dating projects have not yet started, and the exact years that I said have not yet come out.

　　 Fortunately, there are no history experts here, otherwise it would be embarrassing to ask where I knew these points in time.

　　 "We have to let Dapan's heavy equipment come out sooner, otherwise some jokes are just for everyone to read."

　　 After a turn in his mind, he pulled back his thoughts, and several people on the left and right were waiting for themselves to speak.

　　 I got the reason, and didn't follow the words just now, Zhang Nan directly interrupted myself: he gestured with his hand to this piece, which was about 12 cm in height and about 25 cm in diameter.

Look carefully at the two or three inscriptions faintly exposed in the middle of the patina, because you can't see clearly, and you can't judge what it means, but it just feels like this: This Western Zhou Dynasty big rice bowl seems a bit different, as if there is something to do. It's the same as telling yourself and waiting for your own zone to unravel.

　　I am a superman, have super powers?

　　 Except for rebirth, everyone else is a normal person. Zhang Nan is very sure about this!

　　 I still have this feeling, it can only be said that the memory of the previous life is at work, or the memory that I have ignored.

　　I don't bother to think about what I forgot. I just need to be able to make it clear that the problem is with the piece itself: if you understand this guy, the strange feeling in your mind can definitely be solved.

　　 The villain has no overnight hatred. Since there is a doubt, Zhang Nan’s character can’t wait for a moment, put the 盨 in his hand back to the tea table, and said to the old Guo family: "Mr. Guo, is there vinegar in your kitchen?"

　　 The others were taken aback, and Boss Guo was puzzled: "There should be, but Mr. Zhang didn't seem to be jealous that day..."

　　Of course there is vinegar in the mansion. Xiangjiang people love to eat seafood. What if there is no vinegar?

　　 It’s just that before going to the King of Jewelry’s house that day, people asked the butler Tom in advance about Zhang Nan’s taboos-don’t be jealous, absolutely don’t stick!

　　 "Not to eat, I am allergic to vinegar, vinegar is used to remove rust, this piece is a bit special."

　　 Other collectors and museums go to the bronze rust on bronzes. There are all kinds of tall methods. Zhang Nan likes to use simple, direct and rough methods!

　　 Soon, a group of people saw the grassroots side of this super collector.

　　 After the two bottles of good vinegar are heated by the chef in the kitchen, they carefully pour them into the bronze bowl and wait.

　　 Before eating, Zhang Nan put on a mask and used wooden chopsticks to try out the rust effect, and then decided to talk about it after the dinner, and asked someone to get some bamboo back.

　　 It's simple. Xiangjiang made houses especially like bamboo scaffolding. Even after twenty years, steel pipes were used in most of the projects in the mainland.

Before the meal, the second and third members of the Guo family came with their family members. As soon as the meal was finished, a group of gangsters did not go to the living room to smoke or drink tea. Even the women did not talk about fashion or jewelry, so they all went to the kitchen. .

　　Guo's mansion, this scene is really a wonder that hasn't appeared in decades in the eyes of the servants.

　　The old method is to pour out all the vinegar, then rinse with clean water, and then mix and scrub with a detergent that does not contain irritating substances, and then let the knowledgeable bodyguard use the bamboo chips prepared in advance to scrape the internal corrosion into black residue.

　　 After scraping, rinsing, and then scraping, repeated several times, then rubbed it with a napkin, and finally used a hair dryer to blow this piece dry thoroughly!

　　The things returned to Zhang Nan's hands, and then they came to the living room with a smile: There are 10 lines and 98 words inscriptions on the insole of this 盨!

Impressive!

　　 The first 9 lines have 10 characters each, and the last line has 8 characters. All the inscriptions actually have a touch of calligraphy.

The preservation of 　　 inscriptions is still very good, only at the bottom of the fourth and fifth lines, because some problems in the casting process caused defects and distortions, making it difficult to identify a word at the end of the fifth line.

The 98-character inscription of 　　 just appeared in a seemingly inconspicuous artifact, and its worth rushed upwards like sitting on a rocket!

　　 Everyone took their seats and served tea and coffee. Zhang Nan said to the old Guo family: "Mr. Guo, I have no regrets."

　　 This is of course a joke. The Guo family boss laughed and said: "It can only be said that Mr. Zhang is a real collector, and a baby can be washed out after a wash.

　　 Nearly a hundred-character inscription, I am an outsider, and I also know that such Western Zhou bronzes are incredible! "

　　 The expression on Zhang Nan's face was slightly straight, and said: "These inscriptions are even more remarkable!"

　　 The lighting conditions in the reception room of the giant wealthy home have nothing to say, but Zhang Nan still habitually fetched a small flashlight from Lin Ming.

　　 With a flashlight in his hand, he covered the bottom of Yinneri and said: "The fate of Yu lays the earth and dredges the river with the mountains. It is a levy in the land, and the people are supervised by the people. They are self-serving villagers and parents.

　　I am born as Wang Zuochen, who is the only one who is good for morality, the people are good for virtue, and the widows are in the world. Use Jue Shao, good work...

　　 There is a word that can’t be read clearly, it should be ‘what’ for the benefit of doing something, and it’s not suffocating.

　　 filial piety, the Ming Scriptures are all together, it is a good sacrifice to nothing. Good-hearted, marriage is also only association. Tianli uses the test, the **** uses Hulu, and the eternal imperial Yu Ning.

　　 Suigong said: Minweike uses Zide, and he is dead. "

　　 As soon as he raised his head, everyone in the circle was stunned, with clear expressions on their faces: "Brother, can you say something we understand?"

　　 If the ancient prose of this level was in the house of the "fourth uncle" of Li's guest yesterday, it is estimated that the "fourth uncle" who has been familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics since childhood and has studied ancient Chinese prose should be able to understand a lot.

　　Here, Zhang Nan read the inscription last time, it's strange that others can understand it!

　　 Zhang Nan had to say: "This inscription contains the words'Suigong Sai', indicating that this should be a bronze ritual made by a certain generation of monarch Suigong in the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty. It can be called Suigong Yin.

The meaning of the inscription 　　 is even more remarkable. The first half of the paragraph is about the flood control by Dayu. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan smiled to the people on the side who did not understand "the historical importance of Yu's water control appeared on a piece of Western Zhou bronze" and said: "The inscription says that when Yu controlled the water, he used to flatten some hills. The method of blocking floods and diverting rivers in parallel to alleviate the floods, while delimiting Kyushu, also stipulated their respective contributions according to the land conditions of each region.

　　 The inscription also says that after the flood receded, the people who fled to the hills and hills went down the mountain and resettled on the plains.

　　 Because of his contributions to the people, Dayu was able to become the king of the people and the "parents" of the people.

　　 The second half of the inscription expounds on virtue and ethics, and teaches people to behave in virtue. "

　　 I am in a very good mood. Although I can't remember what I forgot in my previous life, this inscription is really important!

　　 "Everyone, Yu can be said to be the founder of the Xia Dynasty. Without Dayu there would be no Xia, let alone our China!

There is only one single seedling in the ancient cultural relics of the actual founder of the Xia Dynasty. As far as I know, there is only one single seedling: there is a simple inscription of "Yu Ji" in the Qin Gonggui during the Spring and Autumn Period~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the past, many people doubted whether Dayu really had a man, and whether the Xia Dynasty existed, especially in the Western world. Many countries still believed that our Chinese civilization can only be traced back to Shang. "

　　 Today, when Joseph is not here, Zhang Nan can’t help but spit out: “A bunch of wild men say grapes are sour if they can’t eat grapes. When we were humans, they were still monkeys!”

　　 "Haha..." Several people in the living room laughed.

　　 I didn't pay attention to whether "Beijing People in New York" was released, but even if it was released, these super-rich Hong Kong people would probably not watch or see it.

　　 As soon as Zhang Nan said these words, the lethality should not be too great, it is too much to everyone's appetite.

Zhang Nan's gloved hand touched the words at the bottom of the 盨. "These words advance the documentary record of Dayu's flood control by six to seven hundred years. This is also the earliest and most detailed and reliable written record of Dayu in the era known. .

　　 With these 98 words, we can be sure that people 2900 years ago were extolling the achievements of Dayu. We can also confirm that the Xia Dynasty was the leader of the Xia, Shang, and Wednesday dynasties as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty.

　　 Hua Xia, Xia Dynasty is real, and it is not allowed for outsiders to be jumbled and crooked! "
