After dealing with each other on and off for several years, Boss Ma knows that there is only one kind of object that can really arouse Zhang Nan's interest here: bronze, and everything else is floating clouds!

took the initiative to contact him before, just because he got an amazing plate in his hand, and someone asked him to sell a few other bronzes. If you can sell it to this super-rich man who has so much money that he has nowhere to go, it will really make a lot of money!

No more nonsense, it's a big dish.

A large flat brocade box with the lid opened was served, and there was a bronze plate lying inside, looking oily and slippery, not a newly unearthed new pit goods, at first glance it was a hand-me-down.

Boss Ma took out the plate and put it on the coffee table, the boss of the Tiejun here started as a collector of antiques, but he had never seen antiques of this grade, so he got up and looked carefully.

Zhang Nan didn't get up, glanced at it twice, and said to Boss Ma: "Don't tell me that this is the Xijia plate." ”

Boss Ma smiled and said, "Most likely, it is said that there is a 'Xijia plate' hidden in the little devil's calligraphy museum, but that thing is a fake."

Mr. Zhang, look at this plate, the hand-me-down pulp, the inscription and the rubbings of the Republic of China are exactly the same, baby ..."

Boss Ma said that it was a baby, this is really not blowing, the Xijia plate is a great thing!

In the past few hundred years, there have been hundreds of books and periodicals related to publishing, bibliographies and discussions!

What's even more remarkable is that among the Shang and Zhou bronzes unearthed from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty in China, the Xijia plate is the only treasure that has been handed down to this day!

For more than 1,000 years and more than ten centuries, there is a single seedling left in Xijiapan, do you say it is rare or not?

The boss of the horse introduced it vigorously, Zhang Nan got up and looked at it a few more times, and took a soft ruler to measure: the plate is 11.7 cm high and 47 cm in diameter.

Open shallow abdomen, narrow along the square lip, slightly concave insoles, a pair of attached ears higher than the handicap, each ear has a pair of beams connected with the disc edge, and the ring foot is incomplete. The abdomen is decorated with a curved pattern, and the inside and outside of the ear are decorated with heavy ring patterns, which is a typical bronze shape and ornamentation of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, the ornamentation is secondary, and the 133 inscriptions on the bottom of the plate are the key - Zhang Tiejun on the side asked when the plate was made and what the words in the plate said.

The boss of the Iron Army doesn't know what the armor plate is, he is the same as Zhang Nan in his previous life, he started from the bottom, this will be a genuine super jade expert and big man, but he doesn't know any high-grade bronzes.

At that time, there was no such condition, and in the late 70s and mid-to-early 80s, who poured bronzes, and there was no such condition in the Jiangnan area, that is, the common people's homes poured some old goods.

No, the boss of Tiejun saw that the shopkeeper in Xiangjiang was blowing strongly, and Zhang Nan seemed to be interested, so he asked a few words in the dialect of his hometown out of curiosity, anyway, if others don't understand, it won't be a mistake.

After Zhang Nan glanced at the plate on the coffee table a few more times, he said in Mandarin: "Xijia plate is a plate made by Xijia, an important auxiliary minister of King Xuan of Zhou in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was hidden in the inner mansion at that time in the Southern Song Dynasty and unearthed for at least a few hundred years.

Later, the war in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty was chaotic, and Xijiapan did not know where to go. In the Yuan Dynasty, the people would be exiled, and once the calligrapher and connoisseur Xian Yushu found the Xijia plate in the house of his subordinate Li Shun's father.

It's a bit interesting, at that time, this plate was actually broken by Li Shun's father's family and used as a pancake to bake flatbread. Xian Yu Zhibao, so I collected this plate. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Tiejun smiled "hehe" and said, "Don't say it, this plate looks really suitable for baking egg cakes." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan and Boss Ma both smiled, and Zhang Nan said: "It's pretty good, just because of this, the Xijia plate is also ridiculed as 'the most expensive pancake pot in history'."

If it is auctioned, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars will not be a problem. ”

There is one thing Zhang Nan doesn't know, in his original time and space, when he was 17 years old, this Xijia plate was sold for more than 200 million yuan!

Zhang Tiejun felt a slight difference in his heart: How can there be a price without buying, there is a problem here!

However, his face did not show it, but nodded slightly: "I don't know the goods, that's it, I remember that there is a big jade sea in the Beihai of the Yuan Dynasty in the capital, and it is said that it has been used as a pickle vat for many years, and the pickle vat is not cheap." ”

"The Great Jade Sea of Shan Mountain, the original base is in my mansion in the capital, you can go and see it if you have the chance..."

Zhang Nan didn't go far, but these few paragraphs were enough to worry Boss Ma on the side!

They are all human spirits, and they can hear the voiceover.

Zhang Nan said on the plate in front of him again: "After the Yuan Dynasty, the Xijia plate did not know where to go, and I remember that it should not have been until the Qing Dynasty that it entered the official treasury of Baoding."

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the plate fell into the hands of the famous collector Chen Jieqi, and soon after that, it disappeared and disappeared.

The inscription on this is very valuable for research, there was a rubbing, and the inscription means: Zhou Xuan Wang five years of March Gengyin day, King Xuan initially ordered a crusade against Xuanli, chased Taiyuan.

Xijia Jifu obeyed the king's orders, by the way, the Xijia of this Xijia plate is to order someone to make a plate This Xishi, the name of the Jia, modern people generally call him Yin Jifu.

After the Yellow Emperor, the Boyi ethnic group, the monarch of the Yin State, the word Jifu, also known as Jifu, Jin Wen as Xijia, Xi Bojifu. His surname is Yao, and he is also known as Yin Jifu because he was named Yin.

Xijia Jifu obeyed the king's orders to defeat the enemy and took prisoners, returned triumphantly, and King Xuan rewarded Xijia Jifu with four good horses and a chariot.

King Xuan also ordered Xijia Jifu to go to Chengzhou, that is, Luo Yang was in charge of law enforcement and ordered the Quartet to pay the grain payment. As for the Southern Huaiyi and Huaiyi, the peasants who originally paid tribute to our Zhou Dynasty were not allowed to owe tribute and grain. They shall come and go and do business, and shall not disturb the places and markets.

If you dare to violate the decree of the king of Zhou, you will be punished and requisitioned. I hereby remind the princes and people of all parts of the Zhou Dynasty to engage in commerce and trade in the prescribed markets, and not to do business in wild and remote places, otherwise they will also be punished!

Father Xi Boji made a special record of this plate. His eyebrows and longevity are to hope that he will live forever and that his children and grandchildren will use it forever. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan stopped, and said: "The Xijia plate is considered to be circulated in an orderly manner, and the historical value of the inscription content is extremely high, describing many details of the official system, war, reward, tax, slave, and trade management of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The most interesting time is that the earlier Shang Dynasty would use the stem branch to record the date, 60 days and a cycle, and there was also the concept of year and month, but the concept of time recording at that time was very different from today.

The common routine of oracle bone inscription is to record the day of divination first, such as Jiazi, Renyin, etc., and this way of recording makes it impossible for our descendants to determine the specific time.

However, the Jin Wen of the Zhou Dynasty used the 'life tyrant and death tyrant' related to the moon phase to record the time, which is a remarkable progress. ”

"Life and death?"

Questioning, it was Boss Ma who was puzzled, not to mention the Iron Army Boss who had no research on bronzes.

Boss Ma put aside the pimple in his heart for the time being, knowing that Mr. Zhang is an expert, so he will learn a few hands first.

Zhang Nan is an expert, but if it weren't for Nong Bosheng, an expert teacher and relative, Zhang Nan would not know what "life and death" is. This "Tianba Haiba" knows that he has a Tianba watch.

The two were puzzled, and Zhang Nan said: "Many of the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty contain a large number of moon phase words, the most common ones are Chu Ji, both Shengba, Jiwang, and Jiji.

Many scholars believe that the term moon phase of the Western Zhou Dynasty is not fixed, but refers to a period of time, that is, the so-called 'quarter moon phase'. However, there are also many people who believe that the moon phase words of the Western Zhou Dynasty are fixed-point and specific, that is, each moon phase word specifically refers to a certain day of the month, and this day is fixed.

At that time, people could only observe the phases of the moon with the naked eye, and it was inevitable that there would be errors in observing the moon, but the errors did not exceed one day before and after, and such accuracy was enough.

Chuji, that is, the day when the crescent moon just appears, that is, the second and third days of the first month of each month;

On the day of the first and a half months, the moon begins to radiate, that is, on the eighth day of the month;

It is the second day of the full moon, that is, the sixteenth day of the month.

The corresponding to the death tyrant and the born tyrant are half a month, and the moon's light begins to dim, which is the twenty-fourth day of the month.

I also know so much, I haven't studied it carefully, and I don't know if it's more detailed.

The first sentence on this Xijia plate is 'only five years and March is the death of Ba Gengyin', the plate of King Xuan's period, King Xuan ascended the throne in 827 BC, and the fifth year is 823 BC.

According to this research, the time when King Xuan originally ordered the crusade against the Xuan Li mentioned in Xijiapan was March 24, 823 BC, which is extremely accurate!

It's interesting that the matter of more than 2,800 years of money can be accurate to a certain day, isn't it?"

It's very interesting, but here's the problem, Boss Ma here secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you tell me what's wrong with this plate?"

He heard it, Zhang Nan didn't say that this one on the coffee table was a Xijia plate at all, and the voiceover was that this thing was a fake.

Zhang Nan smiled, "It's simple, because the real thing is in my hands." ”
