He had to observe every half an hour to an hour, and when it was half past ten, Zhang Nan finally felt that it was almost there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Tang Gui, take a useless trash can, the impervious kind. ”

Nowadays, special plastic trash cans are very rare on the market, and Tang Gui directly gave Zhang Nan a plastic bucket.

Pour the vinegar in the large dish into the bucket, not directly pour it out to prevent it if the degree of corrosion is not enough, you still need to use it again: use vinegar to deal with it, or don't dry it, since it is dry, you have to dry it to the end at one time, and you can't delay it for a few days and then deal with it, otherwise it will leave sequelae!

Pour the vinegar and dry the edges with paper so as not to affect the outer edge of the copper plate.

The patina at the bottom has been dissolved a lot, and it appears black. Or use the flattened bamboo chopsticks as a small shovel, and this chopsticks will appear smooth and clean, revealing a bright metallic luster in the black.

Guan Xingquan's eyes were sharp, and he said: "There are words!"

After a few quick shovels, "It's a big seal type of golden text." ”

At this time, Tang Gui handed Zhang Nan a piece of bamboo more than one centimeter wide, which was obviously cut just now.

"There is a future, you can guess it!"

I appreciate the inferences of the chef comrades: the chopsticks are too small in cross-section and take too long. It's nice to be able to guess what you're going to do next, and then come up with the right tools!

After being busy for a while, I finally finished treating all the parts that had been corroded with vinegar inside the copper plate, and the patina inside was basically removed, revealing a full 21 lines of inscriptions.

I didn't rush to identify it, and I had to remove the residual sour vinegar ingredients.

The bronze is blackened by vinegar, and there is an indescribable substance on the surface - as long as the residual vinegar is removed, this substance generally does not cause damage to the bronze itself.

However, Zhang Nan wants to remove this layer of black substance as much as possible: the method is very simple, just take a ball of napkins and wipe it until it rubs out as much metallic luster as possible.

As for whether the surface of the bronze after the metal background is exposed should be further protected, Zhang Nan really doesn't know, he has never been exposed to it in his previous life, but he can ask Nong Bosheng in a few days.

Cleaning is simple, just flush with tap water, and by the way, use a bristle brush to brush carefully inside and out, and the residual loess on the outer wall is also brushed clean.

Wipe the inside of the plate with a napkin a few more times: wet it with water each time and wipe it again until there is no more obvious black substance on the napkin.

"At this point, it is reasonable to air dry naturally, or to dry in the sun, let's use a quick method, just a hair dryer, and the savage one can even use an oven!"

Zhang Nan is reluctant to use the oven, there is always a hair dryer.

I took two at once, up and down, inside and out, and blew it thoroughly!

Now I can finally recognize the inscription with peace of mind, and carry the big plate to the living room.

The two chefs didn't come, and went to rest after tidying up the kitchen, and the four people left behind looked at Zhang Nan and the copper plate curiously, all wondering what was being said here.

Zhang Nan knew what the gist of the inscription on this plate was, but if he wanted to recite the whole text, let alone now, he didn't remember all of it when he read the information at the beginning. Fortunately, there is the set of Jinwen research materials sent by the director of agriculture, Zhang Nan has already found time to study it a few times, and he can still identify a lot.

I looked at it from beginning to end, and said: "These inscriptions record the achievements of King Wen, King Wu to King Li, and King Xuan's 12 generations of Zhou Tianzi, and the 8 generations of the Shan family assisted the royal family in cutting down merchants, building Zhou Bang, conquering Jing Chu, begging for the Lynx, managing mountains and forests, and other important activities and deeds such as making peace with the world, and receiving canonization rewards for merit."

After assisting King Wen and King Wu to destroy the Yin Shang, the first generation of the Shan family's ancestor 'Shan Gong' carried out land management over the newly occupied land of the Zhou Dynasty, and the second generation of the ancestor 'Gong Shu' assisted King Zhou Cheng in managing the country.

The third-generation ancestor 'Xinmurzhong' helped King Kang of Zhou to deal with the affairs of the imperial court, and the fourth-generation ancestor 'Huizhong' assisted King Zhao of Zhou and King Mu of Zhou in their crusade against Chu;

The fifth-generation ancestor 'Lingbo' assisted King Zhou Gong and King Zhou Yi, and the sixth generation ancestor 'Yizhong' assisted King Xiao of Zhou and King Yi of Zhou;

The seventh generation of the ancestor "Uncle Gong" assisted King Zhou Li, and the eighth generation, the owner of the copper plate, "逨", assisted the emperor Zhou Xuanwang to govern the government and served as an official in the management of mountains and forests. ”

"Salted fish?"

Zhang Nan's mind turned to understand what Guan Xingquan was asking, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's xiǎnyǔn, it's dog Rong." Since the Dog Rong broke through the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty in 771 B.C., the Dog Rong has become the most terrible enemy of the Chinese nation, until the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains people still called all the northwest nomads "Dog Rong" and "Rong Di".

During the reign of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was 1,000 years after the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Dr. Taichang Liu Yan Shangshu said: 'Dog Rong committed Guan Dulong, and entered the Beijing Division without blood...".

A few decades later, during the reign of Tang Dezong, the minister Liu Hun said to Dezong: 'Rong Di, jackals, non-alliance oaths can be concluded. ’

Many historical experts have to go through research to understand which grassland ethnic group the 'dog Rong and Rong Di' in the Tang Dynasty records refer to. ”

This will say that it is a combination of Chinese and English, anyway, the four of them can even explain each other with guesses, otherwise the two of Nicole listening to Chinese are listening to the book of heaven.

Nicole pointed to the text on the plate and said, "That's all there are so many words?"

"Generalization, is generalization. Are you sure you can understand the original text?"

"Alan, 2,800 years ago, I want to hear it!"

"To be exact, it is written at least 3,000 years ago, second only to oracle bones. If you want to hear it, then I will read it. ”

Speaking of which, if you look at the inscription carefully, it will take some brain cells!

"Emperor Pi Xian Emperor Gaozu single duke, Huan Huan Keming Shen Jude, summoned King Wen Wu Wang Dayin, received the order of Tianlu, prostrate in all directions, and ...... Tonglu, eternal life, and the end of life, the son of heaven, the son of heaven, the son and grandson of the eternal treasure.

That's it. ”

It's okay now, don't talk about Nicole and Jenny, two Americans, even Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan are confused - they don't understand it at all!

Xiang Weirong said: "This is what you said just now about the head of the family assisting King Zhou?"

"Brother-in-law, the writing of the ancients in 2800 years is not at all the same as ours, this plate is so big, it is estimated that it is more concise than the actual conversational language, and I would not understand it if I had not studied it at all. ”

"He speaks the words of people who can understand. ”

"Oh. ”

No way, in the face of four curious babies, organize the language and come again!

"The gist of it is this: I said, my famous imperial ancestor single father, mighty and wise, knowing people and good at duties, is a wise and virtuous man. He assisted King Wen and King Wu, crusaded against Yin Shang, accepted the emperor's mandate, blessed the vassal states of the Quartet, established the Zhou Dynasty, worked for the country, and complied with the will of heaven.

My emperor's uncle can assist him to become a king, be the king's envoy, and accept his great life. At that time, Rong Di in the north did not come to offer the Son of Heaven, and King Cheng settled the four kingdoms..... He thanked the Son of Heaven for his reward, praised Wang Deluxiu, and made a treasure plate to commemorate the emperor's ancestors, which was used to commemorate the virtues of the ancestors of Wende in the previous life.

There is the majesty of the ancestors of Wende in the sky, and they are respectful and respectful in the world, hoping that the ancestors will be vigorous and give them a long and prosperous life, and they will be generous and give me health and blessings, high-ranking officials, and the end of the soul.

The virtuous ministers of the Son of Heaven will enjoy them forever.

That's it, that's it in the vernacular. ”

My brother-in-law was laughing there, "Hehe... You're still talking in the vernacular?"

Nicole and Jenny are still confused - no way, even if they can fully understand the "big vernacular" of Zhang Nan just now, two American women don't have to think about it without a few years of research.

The brother-in-law satisfied his curiosity, looked at the time, and asked Guan Xingquan: "Are you going home?"

"Go home. ”

The two curious babies left satisfied, leaving Zhang Nan to work hard to translate what he had just said into English again: If you can finish it in two minutes, it took you half a day to finish it, and it was almost midnight.

"Sleep, sleep, tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve can't sleep lazy!"
