Chapter 81 The Bronze Mirror of the Western Han Dynasty
"Hey, brother, do you want to buy it?"
The stall owner saw He Lin's demented expression, and his face couldn't help showing displeasure: "If you don't buy it, go to the side, don't squat in front of my stall and affect the business." ”
"Buy, buy, buy, I don't have to pick the right one first, I'm in a hurry. He Lin immediately responded.
There's no time for him to think about the mutation of his ability at this moment, so let's pick it up first!
His face did not change, and he picked up the bronze mirror again to check it carefully, only to see that the bronze mirror round button was like the sun, Zhengda was centered, and the yin and yang gossip was distributed on the inside of the mirror, it seems that this bronze mirror was used for sacrifice in addition to the decorative role in ancient times.
The back of the bronze mirror is carved with two circles of patterns inside and outside the flat carving technique, and there is a circle of lines between the patterns, which looks like it should be an inscription of additional casting, but because of the relationship between the mirror patina and the light, He Lin also does not see it too real.
In addition, He Lin also noticed that there was a smell of mud on this Han Dynasty Zhaoming mirror, and it seemed that this was still a raw pit thing that had just been unearthed.
"I only thought this thing was rich in treasure before, but I didn't expect it to be an object from the Han Dynasty!"
He Lin was secretly frightened, plus his ability mutation had something to do with this mirror, so he had to take it down and study it.
He turned his head and saw that there were many other bronze mirrors on the stall, and they were of various ages.
He Lin thought about it, and simply put the Han Dynasty Zhaoming mirror aside, casually picked up a Qing Dynasty bronze mirror and asked, "Stallholder, what is the price of this?"
The stall owner glanced at it and said, "1500." ”
He Lin raised his eyebrows, picked up a Tang Dynasty bronze mirror and asked, "What about this?"
The stall owner glanced at it lightly again and replied, "200,000." ”
He Lin couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart chuckled, could it be that this stall owner is still a master of broken treasures at a glance?
"These two objects look similar, why are the prices so much different?" Qingle muttered in a low voice on the side.
"These two bronze mirrors are a lot worse. ”
The stall owner moved the straw hat on his face and said lightly: "One is the Tang Dynasty Four Spirit Mirror, and the other is the Qing Dynasty Mirror, can the price be the same?"
He Lin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, although Qingle was the granddaughter of Qingheshan, and her major was also archaeology, but she had very little practical experience.
It is normal to see the difference between the two bronze mirrors in his hand.
But the stall owner is different, his head is covered with a straw hat, and he can still distinguish the Qing and Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors at a glance in this dim light.
He Lin's heart is dumb and eats yellow lotus - he can't say what he is suffering.
There is no way to grind it like this, so he simply gritted his teeth, directly picked up the Han Dynasty Zhaoming Mirror and asked the stall owner, "Then what is the price of this?"
The stall owner glanced faintly and said, "60,000!"
60,000?!
He Lin couldn't help but be stunned, this stall owner is not an insider!
"Hey, do you want to buy it?"
The stall owner saw that He Lin was holding the bronze mirror and didn't speak, so he couldn't help frowning: "Brother, if you don't buy it, don't really use the pestle here to affect my business, this Ming imitation Han Zhao Ming mirror I sell for 60,000 is already a low price!"
Ming Dynasty imitation Han Zhaoming mirror?!
He Lin is a spirit, good fellow!
It turns out that this stall owner actually regarded this piece of Western Han Zhaoming mirror as a Ming imitation!
As an ornament, the bronze mirror originated from the Warring States period until the Tang Dynasty, and the production process and innovation of the copper mirror reached its peak.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the degradation of the copper mirror making process, most of the copper mirrors made in these two periods were imitation of the previous dynasty style products, among which the imitation Han style copper mirrors were countless!
Because of this, some of the imitation Han bronze mirrors in the Ming and Qing dynasties were exquisite, but the market price was low, about 10,000 yuan.
"It's not right, now in this year, which seller doesn't want to say that the fake is real, this stall owner is good, but he returns the real object to the fake?"
The more He Lin thought about it, the more he didn't understand, so he simply asked directly: "Boss, are you sure this is the Ming Dynasty imitation of the Han Zhaoming mirror?"
"What do you mean by that? ”
Hearing He Lin's questioning, the stall owner's attitude was obviously a little colder, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side: "Oh, these things were only picked up from the same Ming Dynasty tomb a few days ago, and the smell of mud on them hasn't dissipated yet!"
He Lin turned his head to see that there were indeed a bunch of large and small bronze and porcelain fragments on the side of the stall, most of which were various carved copper mirrors and unformed copper mirror blanks, and the soil on these things had not been washed!
He took a few bronze mirrors and looked at them, not to mention, these bronze mirrors were really all objects from the Ming Dynasty.
He Lin suddenly realized at this time, and finally reacted, it turned out that the stall owner was because these bronze mirrors and bronze fragments were dug out from the same Ming Dynasty tomb, so he regarded all the burial objects as Ming Dynasty things!
But he never expected that among these bronze mirrors of the Ming Dynasty, there was an object handed down from the Western Han Dynasty!
"This pile is almost all copper mirrors and copper mirror blanks, and it seems that the owner of this tomb must have been a craftsman who made copper mirrors during his lifetime. At this time, Qingle whispered.
He Lin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Don't say it, it may be true, there are imitation patterns of bronze mirrors in various dynasties!"
"You don't care what he did when he was alive, whether he bought it or not?"
Obviously, the stall owner was not interested in listening to He Lin playing here, so he simply leaned on the pillar on the side of the road: "If you don't buy it, leave quickly, it will affect Lao Tzu's sleep." ”
"What kind of attitude, how can there be a seller like you!" Qingle Xiu frowned slightly and said for He Linming.
It's the first time she's seen a stall owner who grows so big and has such a bad attitude.
"Lao Tzu is like this, he loves to buy or not. ”
The stall owner directly cocked Erlang's legs, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and said: "No matter how nonsense, Lao Tzu won't sell it anymore!"
"You ......!" Qingle was angry, and he was about to say something.
"Hey, Qingle, this eldest brother is also making hard money, don't worry too much!"
He Lin immediately interrupted Qingle's words with a smile, and then turned back to the stall owner and smiled: "Hehe, big brother, I bought this thing, my friend is not sensible when he came to the ghost market for the first time today, don't worry too much." ”
Seeing He Lin's attitude, the stall owner was obviously a little surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it, and said to a sign on the side of the stall: "Oh, there is a payment QR code and a bank account, just transfer the money to me at a glance." ”
"Hehe, Cheng. ”
He Lin smiled, and without saying a word, he took out his mobile phone and scanned the code to transfer: "Boss, it's transferred." ”
After glancing at the information that the transfer was successful, the stall owner pulled the straw hat to his face again: "Well, it's okay." ”
After saying that, he leaned against the pillar next to the road and turned over lazily, looking really ready to continue sleeping.
After getting up and leaving, Qingle still pouted, looked back at the stall owner and muttered, "What kind of person is this, it's strange that someone buys things like him!"
"Alright, Qingle, don't be angry. ”
He Lin smiled, glanced back and explained: "These stall owners in the ghost market are different from the people who do business on our weekdays, and it is really normal for them to have a bad temper, if they are as enthusiastic as those shopkeepers in the antique shop during the day, I don't dare to buy it!"
"And ......"
He Lin suddenly showed a mysterious smile on his face, checked the bronze mirror in his hand and said with a smile: "This leak has been picked up by us, and we won't lose a few words from the stall owner!"
Qingle's eyes lit up, and he wondered: "Didn't the stall owner say that this is a Ming Dynasty imitation Han bronze mirror, and what else did you miss it?"
"Hehe, what did he say?"
He Lin smiled proudly, checked the bronze mirror in his hand and said in a low voice: "Although this bronze mirror is from the tomb of the Ming Dynasty, it is similar to what you said before, according to the unearthed objects, the owner of the tomb may really be a craftsman who makes copper mirrors!"
"I think this bronze mirror should be the Han Dynasty model left by the owner of the tomb when he imitated the Zhaoming mirror of the Han Dynasty, and he was buried in his tomb when he was buried!"
Qingle was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help covering his mouth and saying, "Brother Xiao He, is it ...... Do you mean that this bronze mirror is not a Ming imitation, but something from the Han Dynasty?"
"Hehe, Qingle, you're so smart!"
He Lin praised Qingle sweetly, and then pretended to be deep: "From my experience, this bronze mirror is eight or nine times out of ten things from the Han Dynasty. ”
