Chapter Eighty-Seven: Qiande Tongbao

"Hey...", I picked up the phone listlessly.

"Damn, Niuzi, you ran away in addition to the limelight, and our brothers moved the stones for a long time!" Sun Wei complained.

"Didn't I settle that pair of flowers? "I'm a little embarrassed and busy making excuses for myself.

"Hurry up and ask about the matter, hungry. Brother Guang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter?" I asked curiously.

"It's okay, let's ask you, Qiande Tongbao, which dynasty is it? You can say it's the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty!" Sun Wei asked.

I was a little confused, "It doesn't seem to be, I want to think about it." ”

After thinking for a moment, I said: "The Qiande ingots were cast in the first year of Yan Qiande, the king of Shu five generations ago. ”

"Five generations, what do you mean?" asked Sun Wei.

I'm a little speechless. On the other end of the phone, Brother Guang snatched the phone, "Hey, Niuzi, tell me specifically, is it a baby?"

"During the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the former Shu queen Wang Yan Qiande cast Qiande ingots. The basic shape of the money is a small flat coin, and the layout has large characters, small characters and the back moon pattern equation. In addition to folding five types of Qiande ingots for the rarity, its small flat money is relatively abundant, and the spectrum is multi-year, it is not difficult to see. This Qiande ingots have moon patterns on the back, and there are two types of books. The copper is small and flat, the official book money is small, and the real book money is larger. Lishu rotates to read, and the second painting of the yuan word is picked on the left. There is a difference between a bare back and a back moon pattern. There are two kinds of copper and iron. It is rumored that there is iron money, but it has not been seen. There are many Qiande ingots in the world, and one of them is only rubbed in a five-type coin, and the real thing has not been left anywhere. I said.

"As for Tongbao. During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, although there were more coinage treasures in various regimes, there were also Tongbao. Among them, the most noteworthy is that in the post-Shu period, two coins were cast, "Guangzheng Tongbao" and "Dashu Tongbao". So, in addition to ingots, did the former Shu also cast Tongbao money? Is the Tongbao money of the Later Shu the treasure text inherited from the former Shu and continued to be adopted? Logically speaking, this cannot be categorically ruled out. And whether there is or not, of course, first of all, there must be a physical basis, and it can stand up to debate before answering this question. "I am very cautious about professional issues.

"Damn, I don't understand. Are you at home, are you?Wait for us, go find you!" After speaking, Brother Guang hung up the phone.

In less than half an hour, Brother Guang and Sun Wei came to my house with great interest.

"Cow, cow, look at this. Brother Guang said as he took out a copper coin full of rust.

"Wouldn't you, you two came to me for a copper coin?" I was speechless, but my gaze swept over me.

If you look closely, it's a copper coin covered in blue rust, and it's obvious that it's made of bronze.

"Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, Qiande Tongbao, light back small flat copper coins. These words popped into my mind.

I was surprised, "What!"

"What, copper. Sun Wei answered.

"How did you get this copper coin?" I asked.

"You're embarrassed to say, you're done in the limelight, you ran away by yourself, and you left us there to move stones for Nanli for half a day!" Sun Wei said.

"What does it have to do with copper coins?" I didn't bother to listen to him, and asked the point.

"Picked it up on the road. Brother Guang said.

I sighed. "Damn, I thought I was already lucky, but I didn't expect these two guys to be even more stupid. I'm Taobao at most, these two guys are all over the street picking up East Baby!?"

I already had the answer in my mind, but I still carefully observed, took out the calipers and small electronic scales, and made measurements.

Sun Wei urged: "Niuzi, do you know it?" We're making a bet!"

"What's the hurry!" I said angrily.

"This appreciation of copper coins, the first acquaintance with books. The product is literate, and the four characters of the face of the product "Trunk Road Tongbao" are clearly visible, and the body of the book is written (like the official book), the rotation reading, and the bare back. Although the writing of the characters is straightforward, but the strokes are also horizontal and vertical, the size of the characters is moderate, the layout is coordinated, on the whole, highlighting the simple rhyme, and comparing the meaning of the book with the ingots, it is not difficult to find that its style is very similar. From this, it can be concluded that this book is in line with the characteristics of the times, and should be cast by the official furnace of the time, which can be described as an open door. I said.

"The second view of the casting. Looking at the casting body, it can be seen that the casting of this product is regular, the diameter is about 23.3 mm, the weight is about 4.56 grams, the thickness is moderate, and the small flat shape system is determined. Its casting phase shows that it is square and round, flat and clean, and the wheel is clean. Looking back at the outline of the characters, Qian Wen is a little flat, the back is the same, and the strokes are also sticky, but it can be seen that the drum is moderately convex, and there is no pretentiousness. There is no need to go into detail, judging from this casting, it is also very in line with the characteristics of the times before and after the Shu period, which is said to be cast by the official furnace at that time, and it is difficult to doubt, and its door can be opened. Look at the rust phase again. Distinguish the rust and recognize the pulp, it can be seen at a glance, this product is full of peacock blue rust, wrapped all over, out of the great northeast region of the pit, and peacock blue rust, so far, the new fake cover is difficult to achieve. Carefully observe the rust color, the shades are alternate, the distribution is natural, the rust scab shell, the old man is solid, not bad or false. Where the rust is thin, the slurry is dignified and old-fashioned, and it is practical. The material is bronze, and the copper color is even more old. There is no doubt that from this rusty point of view, it is clear that a natural and natural appearance is obvious, and the door can be said to be open. I continued to comment.

One appreciation, several scrutinies. I said with certainty: "I think this piece of trunk road Tongbao light back small flat money, three phases and one material, no different from innocence, pass the test, straight to the point and undoubted." And based on this, it can be considered that during the Qiande period of the former Shu Dynasty, Tongbao money was also cast, and it was minted with Yuanbao Xiaoping, although it was not in the form of money, but it was also cast with the official furnace, and the reason why it survived rarely and was found very late should be that it was not cast in quantity, or it was not issued and circulated after casting. In addition, the Houshu Casting Tongbao seems to have continued to be cast because of this precedent. ”

"Damn, Wei and I both guessed wrong. Then this broken copper coin is for you," Brother Guang said.

"Broken copper coins, Brother Guang, you may not understand, I mean, this copper coin is real, it is a small flat copper coin of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms Qiande Tongbao Guangbei. It's precious," I said.

"Love is what it is. This antique, in the hands of those who understand, is a treasure, and in the hands of those who do not understand, it is nothing. Besides, we both picked it up in the first place, and we don't know what it is. Show this to you, and you will be able to tell it, isn't this Bole knowing the good horse of BMW?" Brother Guang said.

I was inexplicably moved.

Brother Guang smiled evilly and said, "However, our meal also fell on you! Grandma's, but we are starving to death! Zhu Chen's heavy color and light friend's thing." ”

"Haha, there is food to eat, it is much stronger than this copper coin!" Sun Wei echoed.
