Admiring the jade seal of the Yongzheng period, the mobile phone rang at this time.

"Hey, calf. ”

Qian Lao's voice came from the phone, "Master, I'm looking at Yongzheng's jade seal, it's very exquisite!" I was a little excited.

"Go back and let Xiao Fang arrange for you to visit. The expert team will be here soon, and you and Da Zhuang will prepare to come back. Qian Lao said.

Hanging up, we quickly walked back to the conference room.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Qian Lao greeted: "Little Niu, these are all experts in the appreciation and restoration of bronzes in our Palace Museum. You can call Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Jin. ”

"Teacher Ouyang, Teacher Jin. "I hurriedly greeted Da Zhuang.

"Hehe, this Teacher Jin, you can also call Brother Jin. Qian Lao smiled and said.

"Mr. Qian, who is this?" Mr. Jin was a little puzzled, after all, I looked at least 30 years younger than him.

"This is my apprentice. Qian Lao paused, and then said: "He is also your uncle's disciple." ”

Da Zhuang Yimeng, "Old Qian, why are you still scolding." ”

I almost vomited blood, and hurriedly organized: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Qian Lao felt that something was wrong at this time, and said, "This is Jin Dayou's junior brother. ”

"Then, isn't this also my little junior brother!" Teacher Jin said with a smile, and hurriedly stood up and shook hands with me.

"My name is Jin Guitian, and I am responsible for the restoration of cultural relics in our Palace Museum, don't call me teacher in the future, call me senior brother." Teacher Jin said.

"Dean Fang, Elder Shi is here. A staff member came in and said to Dean Fang.

"Old Qian, Dean Shi has arrived, I'll pick it up. Dean Fang hurriedly greeted Qian Lao.

"Why did you toss Dean Shi too, hey, don't be sensible. I'll go with you. Qian Lao also got up and prepared to greet him.

When everyone was about to go out to greet them, a sturdy man, guided by the staff, pushed a wheelchair into the conference room.

"Dean Shi. Everyone stood up and greeted each other in unison.

"Hello everyone. Dean Shi looked a little old, and his face was a little haggard.

"Oh, old brother, these kids are too worry-free, and I'm afraid you'll invite them over. Qian Lao said.

"Yo, Brother Qian, you're here too. Seeing his old friend, Dean Shi seemed very happy.

"Hey, this donated child is a friend of my little apprentice. I'm here to make referrals. Qian Lao said.

"Have you seen the object?" asked Dean Shi.

"I've seen it, Xiao Zhao and they have seen it too. Qian Lao replied.

"Second Elder, let's stop standing and talk, let's sit down first. Vice President Fang greeted and arranged for someone to come in to serve.

"Let's get straight to the point. Xiao Fang, let me introduce the situation to the experts. Dean Shi said.

Vice President Fang motioned to the staff to put the bronze Gui in the center, and introduced: "This bronze Gui, moderate weight, obvious rust, no traces of human processing, the shape of the vessel is a typical bronze Gui in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the front and back of the neck are decorated with a relief animal face, the left and right are decorated with thunder patterns, and the feet are decorated with animal face patterns. There is a feature, that is, there is no norm line. ”

"Brother Niu, why didn't he just tell them the appraisal results?" Da Zhuang asked.

I booed, but it still alarmed Mr. Qian next to me. Qian Lao explained: "That's the case, in order to ensure that the appraisal is not disturbed by other factors in the outside world, you can't say your own judgment until everyone has seen it and prepared your opinions." ”

After introducing this bronze skull, all the experts came forward to identify it.

Da Zhuang and I watched with bated breath, and we didn't dare to come out.

"Everyone's pretty much seen it, now let's talk about it. ”

Mr. Jia took the lead, "Looking at the fan line is an important way to distinguish the authenticity of bronzes. However, in fact, the fan line of the artifacts from the late Shang and Zhou dynasties to the early Western Zhou Dynasty is not obvious, which brings certain difficulties to distinguish the authenticity from the fan line. The bronze shapes, ornaments, and workmanship of this period are the most exquisite, and they are in the heyday of bronze culture. ”

Teacher Ouyang continued: "But in the late Shang and Zhou dynasties, the utensils were solemn, paying attention to the full vessel flowers or triple flowers, and the theme patterns were mainly flat carvings or bas-reliefs gluttony, dragons, phoenixes, etc., highlighting the beauty of the atmosphere and fierceness, and the backing filling pattern was a dense cloud and thunder pattern, commonly known as back pattern, ground pattern, and fill-in-the-blank pattern. Because the bronze ware of this period is a ritual vessel, it is difficult to find fan marks on some utensils such as Ding, Gui, Mustache, Zun, Jue, Yao, etc., this is because after the craftsman cast the vessel, the surface of the ritual vessel was polished, and the post-cast fan line along the abdomen and abdomen was smoothed and polished, and the sacrificial placement was more solemn and majestic, eye-catching. The shape of this bronze gui does not match. ”

After Mr. Ouyang finished speaking, the vice dean of the other party said: "The expert on your side should have seen this object just now, what is the result, you can talk about it." ”

Vice President Fang said with a smile: "Hehe, we did look at it and thought that this was a bronze thunder-patterned double sheep head in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty. However, the final conclusion still needs the opinions of experts. ”

Teacher Ouyang shook his head and said: "Compared with the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the fan line of the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Spring and Autumn period is the most obvious. However, the change of ornamentation is the most obvious, and the general layout of the ornamentation is composed of abstract bold and simple lines of flat carving, with a bias towards geometric flavor. Such as wavy pattern, scale belt pattern, heavy ring pattern, S-shaped Gu Shoukui dragon pattern, stealing pattern, etc. The utensils of this period are relatively rough in workmanship, and the fan line is also more obvious, especially the inner fan line of the ventral bottom of the round tripod and the hoof-shaped foot is toothed and undulating, and some utensils have bump marks on the edge of the block when making pottery fan, and they are not repaired when the fan is closed before casting, resulting in the flow of copper water to the place when pouring, and the tooth-like marks of the disabled fan edge are cast. This object, there is not the slightest trace of the line, no. ”

Several experts began an academic debate on this bronze skull, and I listened to it with relish. It's just that Qian Lao and Dean Shi both sat calmly and calmly, without saying a word.

After several rounds of discussions, the result was still an endless debate. Although I found the debate about authenticity a bit boring, I was interested in some of the culture and history they talked about.

This is, Dean Shi cleared his throat, and the quarrel stopped instantly. It seems that he has a very high prestige among this group.

"Brother Qian, tell me about it. ”

"Okay. In fact, Xiao Fang has already said our judgment just now, but he did not grasp the point. Qian Lao paused and said: "The key is not to break the dynasty, let alone naming, but to make the process." ”

"Paraffin. I whispered. But in a conference room where pins could be heard, the sound was so abrupt.

The main contradiction has been resolved, and the subsequent appraisal will naturally be smooth sailing. This bronze is naturally considered a treasure.

Da Zhuang's donation was exchanged for a certificate of commendation, which made him feel very prominent. What's more, after applying, the Palace Museum gave a reward of 200,000 yuan, which really made him fame and fortune!
