229 Oracle

"Lao Hu, you should continue, don't sell it!"

"That's right!"

"Say!"

Everyone urged one after another, and Lao Hu finally got a great sense of satisfaction, so he said slowly: "The second reason is actually very simple, I originally unearthed this kind of ceramic pillow when I was archaeological in Hubei! And some local villages still have the custom of burying this kind of ceramic pillow!"

Chen Xiu couldn't help but think in his heart: "Damn, it's still nonsense, it's not this that you dug up, why should you conclude that this is a pit!"

Chen Xiu didn't think so, but this time he didn't talk much, so as not to be foamed at his face by this old Hu Yi and old man.

At the moment, I still figured out the ceramic pillow in front of me with my own filament, and the lid of the pillow was painted with a peony, and there were two lines of poetry next to it: "After people return to the geese, their thoughts are in front of the flowers." ”

Chen Xiu followed the recitation a few times, and suddenly patted his head, and thought in his heart: "Lie down, I can't think of such a simple thing! This is clearly a longing poem looking forward to the return of people." In such a superstitious belief that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, how could it be a thing to bury with a dead man! If a dead man really crawled out of the ground, it would be very alarming!"

This time, Steward Ye saw that he was deliberately writing and quietly went over to stand behind him, saw that Chen Xiu's thin gold body was a penmanship, and looked at Chen Xiu's young face, and couldn't help but think: "I have also practiced calligraphy for decades, but compared to him...... Eh...... Sure enough, as the head of the family said, there are some things in this world that you can't have with hard work, especially art, which really pays attention to talent!

I didn't believe it originally, but the word list that I had practiced for decades was tangible but not spiritual, and it was estimated that I would only reach the extreme of form after practicing for more than ten years. After all, he is still a 'craftsman'!"

In the assessment of ceramic pillows at this level, most people are estimated to have been influenced by Lao Hu and have chosen the raw pit, of course, there are a few who have chosen the cooked pit, but their reasons are not convincing to Steward Ye, and they have all been invited out.

In the end, there were three people left in the side hall, Chen Xiu must have stayed, and the other two were old men in their seventies, one with white hair, and the other with a thick black-framed reading glasses.

The two old men were not dissatisfied with Chen Xiu's young age and stayed, but nodded at Chen Xiu with appreciation.

"Sure enough, the more talented and learned people are, and the experts like Lao Hu who are half a bucket of water are all kinds of possessions!" Chen Xiu also gave the two of them a friendly smile.

"Smack, smack......"

Steward Ye clapped his hands, and two more servants outside came in with a box, and when he opened it, the two old men rushed over and said excitedly: "This ...... It's the real Oracle!"

Chen Xiu also walked over curiously, squatted down to take a look, and saw that the box was full of boxes of various turtle shells, and all kinds of hieroglyphs were engraved on it, this kind of character he had also seen in the elective courses of the university before, it was the oldest script that Xia Guo had discovered so far - oracle bone inscription!

Of course, he didn't know any of the above words, and he audited one of the elective courses when he was in college, but unless you study this kind of text professionally, it is useless to learn it, and more importantly, even the professor who taught him knows nothing about these oracle bone characters, and there are only a few hundred of them that can be recognized, so Chen Xiu has not taken an oracle bone inscription class since listening to one class.

Now he knows that the words on the turtle shell are oracle bone inscriptions, but he doesn't recognize them one by one.

"Lie down, isn't the third level a test for this, is it? Then I'm finished, Gu Yu can tell the age, value, authenticity and falsehood, but there is no translation function. Chen Xiu completely gave up in his heart.

The two old men couldn't put down the turtle shells in their hands, as if they were caressing beautiful women, Chen Xiu couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Look at your excited appearance, it seems that you can understand the words on it." ”

Chen Xiu didn't think that these two old men could know the oracle bone inscriptions above, you must know that the professor who taught them at the university was said to be a big professor who received a national research grant, and he only knew a few hundred oracle bone characters.

Of course, it is rumored that there are now more than 4,000 oracle bone characters that have been deciphered, but many scholars who study oracle bones themselves still have ambiguities about those words, and they are arguing endlessly.

"Old song, you see that this piece is interesting!"

The white-haired old man pointed to the text on the turtle shell and said, "Thirteen netfish." This piece of turtle shell is probably a record of the daily hunting of their tribe, which gives us a more direct understanding of the life of the people during the Yin Shang period. ”

"yes!"

Another old man with thick reading glasses was also excited, and directly said to Steward Ye: "Do you still have any of them, move them all out!"

Steward Ye said with a smile: "Elder Qu and Elder Luo, my master knows that the two of you are all people who study oracle bones, and all the oracle bones collected by my master for more than 20 years are here, and this is a meeting gift for the two of you." ”

Hearing what Steward Ye said, Chen Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect that he really underestimated these two old men, and he was really an expert in this area, not that he didn't know how to pretend to understand. At the same time, I was shocked by the wealth of the owner.

Something like Oracle is absolutely priceless!

The value of this kind of thing itself is just some turtle shells or animal bones that have been collected for thousands of years, and its own value and artistry are not large, but the historical and cultural significance given by the words above is definitely much more expensive than the gold of Yuan Qinghua.

The two old men, Qu and Luo, heard that these things were given to themselves, but they were much calmer than Chen Xiu, as if they were taken for granted, but they just continued to think about the words on them.

Seeing that Chen Xiu was just standing aside, Steward Ye said with a smile: "Mr. Chen Xiu, are you not interested in the oracle?"

Chen Xiu is not surprised by Steward Ye's own name, with the family's ability, I am afraid that all their history has been checked by them.

At that moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "These words know me, but I don't know him." ”

I can't help but confess, there are Qu and Luo, two people who study oracle bone inscriptions, and if they want to come to the scene, they will soon be exposed, so it is better to confess.

I couldn't help but think in my heart: "I finally passed two levels, but I was stuck on the illiterate 'words', and I came for nothing." However, there are so many turtle shells, to say the least, there are three or four thousand years old, and I don't know if there is a mysterious atmosphere? No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and it always has to suck some to go away so that it will not be in vain. ”
