The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Sitting there drinking tea and chatting, he asked Xia Milli to get two "Phoenix" cigarettes in the car, and gave them to Wang Deshun and let him distribute them to the workers. Eight?? One Chinese Network ≈

The construction workers at this meeting are reluctant to smoke such a good cigarette, and Zhang Nan smokes about half a pack a day, and there will be a few in the car as long as he can ride: he is in the friendship store in Hangzhou or Shanghai. I can buy Chinese or imported cigarettes, but I like this phoenix, and I like its special fragrance.

"A'nan, will there be anything in the two slab tombs?"

The questioner was Xiang Weirong. He didn't go to Guan Xingquan in southern Hunan to dig an ancient tomb together with Zhang Nan. He was still a little curious.

"This is a typical Song dynasty slate double-kang couple's burial tomb. There is little chance of producing good things. Maybe there are bronze mirrors or porcelain. But what is in it is like a decal award. I only know it after opening it."

"That's also thousands of years, how do you tell?"

Obviously, we are talking about the issue of age.

Zhang Nan gestured with both hands and said: "I just estimated the thickness of the slab, at least 20 centimeters or more, and the upper part is 30°.

On our Jiangnan side, such stone double-kang slab tombs made of 11 large slabs are generally available in the Song and Ming dynasties.

Although we only set up the county in the Han Dynasty, there were also slate tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, but at that time the slate was built up with relatively broken slabs.

As for the Qing dynasty, some people built them with stones, and those with stone slabs are almost extinct. "

After drinking, he continued: "It is actually quite simple to distinguish the difference between the Song and Ming dynasties: the thickness of the slabs of the Ming slate tombs is generally only 10 to 15 cm, and the outward facing side is also relatively smooth.

This Song Dynasty is over 2o centimeters, and the outward side is not very particular, it is pitted. "

This is the number of people who run construction sites in the south of the Yangtze River to engage in local goods, plus the experience summed up by the masters, there is no experience in archaeology textbooks, even in later generations "Baidu"!

As for the textbooks, it is generally written like this: The shape of the Song tomb is like a house structure, windows, doors, beams and pillars are all available, and the pattern on the tomb wall is carved with imitation wood structure, which is a major feature of the Song Dynasty tomb.

The tombs of the Song Dynasty are all located in the north facing south. There are three types of tombs, vertical caves, slopes and sloping steps.

If it is a brick tomb, it is customarily decorated with carved bricks, and the tomb murals are exquisite and elegant, and most of the scenes of life before the life of the tomb owner are represented. In addition, the Zaojing top of the tomb is located directly above the tomb, which is also a typical feature of the Song tomb.

Most of the tomb walls are also carved with pictures of phoenixes, chrysanthemums and fairy grasses, but the tomb walls are mainly carved with lotus flowers.

In comparison, the structure of the tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties is simpler, far less complex than that of the Song tombs, and the carvings are mainly vanilla.

For Tufuzi, there is no time to study the craftsmanship of the burial chamber. The thickness of the slab and the difficulty of demolition are the most important at a glance: if you encounter some slabs with staggering thickness, you should find a reliable helper.

Sometimes when I heard that it was a slate tomb from the Song Dynasty, the helpers were not happy to come!

Why?

It takes a lot of effort, and it is often in vain!

Here Zhang Nan said to Wang De: “The bronze mirror in the slate tomb of the Song Dynasty may be okay. Unless you are lucky enough to run into high-quality porcelain, gold and silverware, it will be a waste of effort.

This is different from the Ming Dynasty. There are many flower heads in it, and sometimes there are many jade objects. For men on the left and women on the right, there will be jade bracelets on the right, and there will be jade bracelets on the left if you are lucky. "&

When Wang Debiao heard this, his expression was strange, and he said, "Who wants the bracelets worn by the dead man, it's awkward. Why don't you go to the countryside to buy a few."

Yes, Zhang Nan forgot something: It's 1987, not 2oo7!

This will require a few jade bracelets, just spend money to collect them, whoever wants them for the burial of the dead!

This reminded Zhang Nan of something that happened in a friend's antique shop around 2012: an old lady came to buy a few silver dollars, intending to be the New Year's money for the younger generation.

Zhang Nan happened to be there, and saw that the old lady was wearing a pair of Ming Dynasty style double dragon jade bracelets with very good quality.

The old lady is very talkative. Zhang Nan asked about the origin of the bracelet. The old lady told him and her friends a story: In the 1950s, the land was leveled and cultivated. Almost all old graves near plain villages were dug and moved.

The same is true in the village where she lives, and an ancient stone tomb dating from hundreds of years ago was dug up.

I didn't know which dynasty was at that time, anyway, there are many scattered jade objects in it.

At that time, jade was worth a small amount of money. As a collective economy, the village decided to sell it, not knowing who wanted it.

However, the price of the stuff in the tomb of the dead is not much higher: the pair of bracelets sold for three yuan from five yuan, which was then bought by the old lady who was still a big girl.

The old lady didn't pay attention to it. After wearing it on and off for several decades, the luster of the jade bracelet became more and more mellow, "supported".

Zhang Nan chatted with the old lady, and his friend went to the bank to withdraw money: when the old lady wanted to buy, she didn't sell it.

In the end, on the counter, Zhang Nan and his friend piled up 360,000 cash in front of the old lady. This was all the cash they could raise temporarily at the time.

This person is very strange. You say that 360,000 people buy someone else's music, but when dozens of bundles of cash are in front of you, this mentality will be very different!

But the old lady still didn't sell it. Before leaving, she left a sentence: I have a retirement salary and I don't lack money. This thing must be left to my grandson.

At that time, Zhang Nan and his friends were depressed...

Before long, Zhang Nan stood up when he saw that the two Kang stone tombs had basically been exposed.

"Deshun, find a few people, use steel drills, and lift the cover from the side to both sides, and be careful not to hit anyone."

Wang Deshun nodded and expressed his understanding~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can see that Zhang Nan wants to be a fun watch today. Of course Wang Deshun has no objection: Big boss, just say a few words about doing such things that are not easy to see, so as not to get his hands dirty.

In fact, if there are not so many people on the construction site, Zhang Nan will do it himself, which is also a kind of fun.

There are too many people, so bother Wang Deshun.

Four workers climbed onto the top of the tomb and smashed the long steel drill made of rebar into the middle of the two cover plates. The four steel drills shouted chants and began to use force at the same time, and the heavy stone slab was immediately pried loose.

"Go to both sides! Be careful, don't smash the broken stones..."

According to Zhang Nan's words, Wang Deshun commanded the battle and jumped down in front.

With a "bang boom", the heavy cover was finally lifted to one side.

Zhang Nan stepped forward and glanced at the inside of the tomb: "Good luck, this Kang tomb is ok, it is not completely filled with soil. Deshun, I also lifted the other cover. Be careful not to step into the tomb.里." (To be continued.)
