In the antique collection circle of Westerners, there is a very popular collection item, that is, antique weapons, such as the iron armored man that we can often see on TV, and two-handed swords, even chain mail and so on are all Western antique lovers. good heart.

Even when Jin Muchen was in New York, he saw a meteor hammer at his peer's house, which was covered with iron thorns and connected with an iron handle by a chain.

That colleague specializes in the antique weapons business, and their business is much better than theirs. People come and go every day, and many antique weapons enthusiasts will go to his shop when they have time.

However, in the Chinese antique circle, weapons are regarded as murder weapons, so they have not been very popular. Only in recent years, this situation has gradually improved. A group of Tibetan friends began to specialize in this ancient Therefore, the collection of antique weapons has gradually become popular in China.

However, due to the late start and the strong demand for various metal products during the steelmaking period in the early years, many domestic weapon collections have been discontinued.

Tibetan friends in China now collect the most ancient weapons, most of which are waist knives used by soldiers in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, or weapons such as Pu knives. As for the magic weapons in ancient times, for many people, it is a legend. ※※, x.

And when it comes to ancient Chinese magic weapons, the first thing that comes to mind in many people's minds may be Mo Xie, the go-getter. It's a pity that these two swords are not genuine in reality. But the magic weapon in the fairy tale. It doesn't exist in the real world.

But if you talk about the classic weapons in ancient China. There is one name that cannot be bypassed, and that is Yuewangjian!

The Yue King Sword, which is preserved in the modern Hunan Provincial Museum and is in good condition, is a typical representative of it.

That sword can definitely be said to be a priceless treasure. After thousands of years, when it was discovered, there was no trace of rust at all, and after it was excavated from the ground. Still sharp, a sword can pierce several layers of newspapers, and it's not iron, just a softer bronze.

People in the ancient times were able to achieve such a level of bronze weapons, which shows that the wisdom of the ancient sages was not something that my younger generation could underestimate.

That sword also represents the pinnacle of forging and smelting technology in ancient my country and the Bronze Age. Since it was unearthed, it has been treated as a national treasure.

with modern money. It is simply immeasurable.

Because that is the pride that our ancestors and sages left to our descendants, you must know that in that era. The ancestors of Europeans were still playing with mud on the ground.

It may be an exaggeration to say that, after all, people did enter the Iron Age earlier than us, but the hardness of the iron they produced at that time, hehe...

The reason why the Yue King Sword has left such an important position in the history of weapons in ancient my country is not only because of the Yue King Goujian sword unearthed in Xiangbei Province!

Another main reason is that the metallurgical industry of the Wu and Yue generation was very developed, so the Wu and Yue countries produced a large number of swords to equip the army.

So that in modern times, especially when it was reformed, many swords of this kind were discovered in the domestic Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations. Because of the large number, domestic archaeologists named these swords as the Yue Wang Sword.

Although this batch of discovered swords cannot be compared with the Yue King Goujian swords discovered in Xiangbei Province in terms of quality, they are all well preserved.

You must know that this is a bronze sword forged more than 2,000 years ago. It was buried in the ground for so many years. If it was other weapons, it would have already rotted into slag, but these swords can be completely preserved. , the degree of development of metallurgical techniques.

And the sword called 'True Gang' in front of Jin Muchen's eyes was even more incredible.

It is said that in those days, King Goujian of Yue specially invited Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith at the time, to forge five precious swords for him.

These five swords are named Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang, and Juque. It is said that they are all rare swords that cut iron like mud.

Later, the more defeated by Wu, Goujian once dedicated the three swords of Zhanlu, Shengxie and Yuchang to Wu Wang Helu for peace.

But then Wu Wang was immoral. Among them, Zhanlu Baojian actually "went away" and arrived in the state of Chu. For this reason, there was a big fight between Wu and Chu, and a war broke out.

These are the records in "Wuyue Chunqiu" and "Yue Jue Shu". Of course, the following stories like "going away by themselves" must be the interpretation of history because of some "winners". legend.

Of course, when we look at this story now, we are not looking at the romances and legends in it, but at the inscriptions on the five swords.

This shows that the five swords did exist at the time, and these five swords were all famous swords at that time, and even two countries were willing to start a war for one sword, which shows that the five swords at that time were The preciousness of the sword.

It's a pity that these five ancient gods, which are famous in history, have not been preserved. Some may have been buried in the ground, corroded and rotted, and some may have been destroyed on the battlefield.

Of course, King Goujian of Yue did not cast only these five swords in his whole life.

After he defeated King Wu and took revenge, he also made other eight swords, which are also recorded in the "Supplementary Notes": "Goujian, the king of Yue, made the workers worship the **** of Kunwu with white horses and white oxen, and mine gold. It is cast to become the essence of the eight swords. The first name is "covering the sun", and when it refers to the sun, the light and the day are dark. Gold is yin, and when the yin is prosperous, the yang is extinguished. The three "Zuanpo" refer to the moon, and the toad and rabbit turn it upside down. The four "Xuanjian", the birds swam past, and the blade is like a cut. The salamander goes deep into it. Six are "destroying souls", who walk in the night without encountering evil spirits. Seven are "but evil", and those who have demons and charms will fall. It’s time to cut down the earth and wood. It’s also cast in response to the spirit of the eight directions…”

Of course, this "Supplementary Notes" is not a professional historical record, but a book written by Wang Jin in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After reading this "Supplementary Notes", many people do not fully believe what is described in this book, but they are not completely unbelievable. After all, some of the things recorded in this book are really traceable.

And today, Jin Muchen saw this ancient famous sword that had been recorded in history!

This discovery, if published, can definitely be said to fill a gap in Chinese archaeological history.

This sword is now not just an antique, it is as simple as an ancient sword. He at least proved a fact, that is, King Goujian of Yue did forge another eight swords, but because other swords were not inherited in the past. So people can't prove that the eight swords recorded in the "Supplementary Notes" are true, but now that this is true, it means that at least when Wang Jin was writing this "Supplementary Notes", he did not It's not all bullshit.

This not only fills a gap in the history of archaeology, but also corrects the name of the "Supplementary Notes". You must know that before this sword was not in the world, most people thought that the "Supplementary Notes" was more similar in nature to the current road. The gossip in the Bianshe is all about the unofficial history, and some gods, demons, monsters and so on.

But now, with this sword to prove it, those archaeologists have to pay attention to this "Supplementary Notes".

Really Nima, I never imagined that I was originally invited to participate in a big jump off the building sale, and finally got back an ancient magic weapon. This business is really profitable.

If it was said that most of the Chinese antiques he had obtained could still be estimated at a price, but this time it was different. The sword in front of him was really tough, and it was impossible to estimate the price at all.

Even the Qianlong sword, which represents the pinnacle of Chinese cold weapons, cannot be compared with this sword.

The status of this sword is the same as he got it from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts or the British Museum. Those top-level silk paintings are similar to the top-level national treasures and are invaluable. If you really talk about the value, the value of this sword may even be higher than Those silk paintings are even taller.

After all, its eldest brother, the Yue King Goujian sword, is displayed in the museum of Xiangbei Province!

It's just such a sword. I don't know how many people watch and admire it every year. If you have to estimate the price of this sword, then you can say that it is 100 million yuan, and it is also possible to say that several billion yuan, because this sword is really too much. precious.

It not only carries the history of that year, but also reflects the innovation and wisdom of our ancestors.

At least now, our scientists can only analyze the metal composition of the sword. As for what kind of craftsmanship was used by the people at that time, they could build such a sword, which can be buried for more than 2,000 years. , and there is no rust at all. It is a magic weapon that can be used when you pick it up. UU reading www. uukanshu.com has not been able to figure it out until now.

Although there are many Yuewang swords in China now, they are collected in the Palace Museum, Puhai Museum, and museums in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and eastern Guangdong.

But the value of the Yue Wang swords they collected was incomparable with the one in Xiangbei Province, and it was also incomparable with the Zhen Gang in front of them.

This one in my hand is really strong. After all, it is the cousin of the Yue King Goujian sword in the Xiangbei Provincial Museum!

It's a pity that the damage is very serious now. Before the repair, Jin Muchen didn't plan to show him. Of course, the repair is complete, this is not a problem at all.

But this night, after the sword was in Fang Bo's hand, he couldn't put it down.

Even when Jin Muchen and Candace woke up the next morning and went to find Fang Bo, they only saw Fang Bo who was tired but still excited. It turned out that the old man was actually in the bathroom of his room. , polished that sword for a whole night...(To be continued...)
