Kong has decades of experience, but in the previous life, there is really no ancient jade that can reach this grade! Although the two bronze mirrors are of high grade, they have similarly seen, bought, collected, and transferred to friends. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Playing antiques, the most unseen good things that you haven't gotten your hands on, no matter how experienced you are, the tiny expression on this face is that he-mother-can't control it!

"Actually, it doesn't really have much to do with money. ”

Saying that, Zhang Nan took the bronze mirror wrapped in newspaper, took out the divine beast mirror, and said: "This mirror will be in Xiangjiang, at least 50,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"So expensive?"

"The best of the Tang Mirror boutiques, there is no one in ten thousand!"

Saying that, Zhang Nan still took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it was not enough to see good things once.

looked at it, and suddenly said, "Brother Guan, help me take the reading magnifying glass in my bag." ”

As he spoke, he sat down at the desk in the room and took the notes and pens from them.

As soon as he got the magnifying glass in his hand, he lowered his head with the magnifying glass in his left hand and looked carefully, and began to write on the paper with his right hand.

The speed of writing was not fast, and Guan Xingquan also stood to the side curiously to read the words on the paper, but Zhang Nan wrote strange traditional characters, and he looked a little difficult.

It took a while for Zhang Nan to raise his head, point to the note full of words, and said with a smile: "It's not 50,000 now, at least 100,000!"

"Just because there are words?" Guan Xingquan took the note, and after reading it for a while, he only understood a rough idea.

"Didn't you say that an inscription is 50 to 200 yuan, and these dozens are not worth that much, right?"

"Because the inscription is interesting. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Bronzes are sold privately, and if the object has an inscription, the price of the text must be calculated in addition to the price of the object itself.

Depending on the content, the number of words, and the value of the utensils themselves, the price of the text is different.

1. The higher the value of the artifact, the more valuable the text is; 2. The more words, the higher the price of each single word; 3. The more valuable the text content, the more expensive a single text is.

Of course, tomb robbers and first- and second-hand antique dealers generally only fancy the first two, because few people can understand Jin Wen!

However, the circle of characters in the outer area of this divine beast mirror is not the golden script of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the common regular script of the Tang Dynasty, which Zhang Nan recognized.

took the piece of paper, "These words should be read like this: Huainan is photographed, and Renshou is famous." Cut jade table, molten gold. Shi Yongyan Jin, Jiemao Zhu Ming. The model is clear, and it seems to be clear. The light is not full, and the leaves are not withered.

This bronze mirror should belong to the category of "Zodiac Mirror with Inscription of Rui Beast" in the early Tang Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty, that is, the inner area is the Rui Beast pattern, the middle area is the inscription belt, and the outer area is the Zodiac pattern and other decorations. ”

Saying that, Zhang Nan also pointed it out to Guan Xingquan.

The bronze mirror similar to this bronze mirror has been unearthed in the tombs of Western Qin, Henan Province, Hunan Province, Gui Province and other places, but the overall number is not much, and the tomb era is clear in the early Tang Dynasty.

The size and weight, space layout, and ornamentation content of those bronze mirrors are basically the same, and there are only some differences in the specific ornamentation of the inner and outer areas and the content of the mirror inscription.

It can be considered that those bronze mirrors should have a similar era background and design concept. ”

Guan Xingquan listened to it and roughly understood, but there was an important question that had to be asked: "Anan, then, what do those words mean?"

"I don't know!"

"What? You don't know?" Guan Xingquan was very surprised, listening to Zhang Nan talk about the truth, but after a long time, he didn't understand what these words meant.

"I'm not a professor of ancient literature, a professor of history, and an authority on Tang culture, so it's normal to not know!"

Zhang Nan felt quite innocent: we are not immortals, how can we understand everything, this Brother Guan also thinks too highly of himself.

"But to be precise, it's not that I don't understand it at all, those inscriptions should say that this mirror is good!"

Zhang Nan is looking at the literal guess!

However, this "Huainan" inscription has a provenance, it is one of the four words and twelve sentences of the inscription in the early Tang Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty.

In the bronze mirrors found now, it is rare to use a complete twelve inscriptions, and even fewer are called "four words" between the beginning and the end. As for the meaning of the word "Huainan", it is said that the academic community and the collection archaeological community have different views.

However, many people think that judging from the stylistic form and content characteristics of the Tang Dynasty mirror inscription in the early Sui Dynasty, "Huainan starts to shine, Renshou passes on the inscription" should be a collocation method of Han and Jin allusions.

"Huainan" refers to the possibility of the king of Huainan or the Huainan region, and no one knows the specific source. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the mirror-making industry in Yangzhou, Huainan was very developed and the technology was extremely high, and the copper mirrors cast there were sold all over the country.

Combined with Yangzhou's geographical outlook and its position in the history of mirror casting in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the word "Huainan" may be related to Yangzhou mirror casting industry. ”

Zhang Nan is not talking nonsense about these words, in the past 20 years, he has had several Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors with four words and twelve inscriptions, but they are not as complete, large and well preserved as these sentences.

Speaking of which, Guan Xingquan understood, but Zhang Nan gave himself another question.

Put down the Divine Beast Mirror, took out the octagonal diamond mirror, and said to himself: "It's strange, isn't this kind of mirror more than the Tang Dynasty and the Middle Tang Dynasty?

I thought it was something from the same tomb, but it's doubtful to look at it this way.

When Guan Xingquan heard this, he said disapprerovingly: "Why are you going to care about all this? You still have to go to the tomb robber to ask? Besides, now there are hundreds of years of using the same thing, and it is not surprising that the people of the Tang Dynasty used the old mirror for hundreds of years to stuff the coffin. ”

Zhang Nan gave a thumbs up: "Reasonable!"

It's a big deal!

In your own hands, you don't care where it comes from! It's not archaeology, we can understand the ins and outs of the object if we have the conditions, and we can grasp it in our own hands if we don't have the conditions.

Guan Xingquan didn't ask Zhang Nan if he wanted to sell the mirror, although he had friends who were involved in smuggling and had a way to take things out.

He understands that Zhang Nan, as long as there is something really good, he is Pixiu, and he only eats and does not pull!

"In another 20 years, these two mirrors will be worth millions. ”

Zhang Nan knew it in his heart, but he didn't sell it, and he collected the bronze mirror that was one in ten thousand.

Put away the mirror, even a stack of sticky notes.

"By the way, Anan, let's leave tomorrow morning?"

"I'll leave tomorrow morning, but I'll have to stay in Hangzhou for one night the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to see a friend." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "This trip back, if my sister's factory procedures are completed, we may need to go to the United States together." Your household registration is still in Jiaojiang, and the entire passport is fine, right?"

"No problem, there are people in the Public Security Bureau. ”

"That's good, the visa Americans will help come forward, it's not a big problem. It's just that if you're not careful, you may spend the New Year in the United States. ”

"It doesn't matter, I spent the Spring Festival in the jungle of Vietnam in '79. ”

Yes, another military secret.

At the time of the war, before launching a full-scale attack, the spy company and this gang of people may have entered the enemy's depth in advance, and my brother-in-law told Zhang Nan that it was just an open secret.
