Everyone on the ship has a map of the world in their heads, and they have a clear memory of Southeast Asia during this time - people outside the long-distance run will basically familiarize themselves with the situation of that place from the map in advance before going to a certain place, which can understand that the route of the shipwreck under the sea seems to be really weird.

But as for how the sailing ship ran the Middle East route, Zhang Nan also gave another possibility: "If the destination of this ship is the Middle East, then it may also pass through this sea area."

It is possible that it will first be repaired in the country of Sri Buddha, which is now the port city of Bahrain on the island of Sumatra..."

Guys look confused!

"Everyone in Sumatra knows, but what is this Sri Liver, what is Balin Feng, and where is it?"

"Balin Feng is now Palembang, after the invasion of the Arabic culture in the 10th century, it was called the 'Old Port', and it is impossible to say when it was changed to Palembang. ”

Zhang Nan explained casually.

"This is a kind of route speculation in the literature, and what was the situation in Southeast Asia more than a thousand years ago, probably only the gods know..."

A lot of the history of Southeast Asia thousands of years ago was recorded by the Chinese, and if there was no China, the history of Southeast Asia before it was invaded by Western forces would probably be a blank!

Taking Sumatra Island as an example, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the 5th and 6th centuries in China, there was a Gandori kingdom there to present a table to Emperor Wu of Liang - if it were not for the records in China, the gods would have known that there was such a small country on Sumatra 1500 years ago.

“... To serve the table is to be on the table. ”

Seeing that Xiang Weirong and a few people can still understand the "Fengbiao", and the American guys are confused, Zhang Nan can only explain: "It is to take the initiative to come up and admit that Huaxia is the big brother, just like many small countries now take the initiative to go to Washington to recognize the big brother." ”

Okay, Randy and the others get it.

Such esoteric Chinese words, Randy and the others don't expect to be able to understand them in their lives.

"According to historical records, in the twenty-first year of the Zhenguan of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 547 AD, a small Sumatran country called the country of Libi went to China to pay tribute, and it was still relying on the records of China that the Indonesian monkeys knew that they rarely climbed on the trees thousands of years ago..."

A small country in Southeast Asia, where thousands or tens of thousands of people were one country, don't expect to leave any historical record for future generations. Coupled with this damn tropical rainforest climate, founding and destroying countries are commonplace - not many civilizations in ancient times could develop and grow in hot and humid rainforest areas - just scurrying around in the jungle, where is the historical record.

There are too many small countries that have disappeared and history is missing, maybe there was a time in the Tang Dynasty that the route to the Middle East was not as good as Malacca: maybe it became a world of pirates, maybe it would be heavily taxed when it passed through...

Instead of Malacca, it is likely to choose the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra to enter the Indian Ocean.

Anything is possible.

......

In addition to the porcelain plates and bowls of the Tongguan kiln in the big urn, there are more than 100 pieces of scattered porcelain on the deck that were fished up from the seabed.

There are not only copper official kilns, but also white porcelain and celadon products.

White porcelain is basically the northern kiln, Zhang Nan has not studied much about this, and as for the number of celadon is very small - "the things in my hometown, the more kiln!"

Hehe, Zhang Nan is an expert among experts - the number of "first-hand unearthed" celadon that he has used in his previous life can be so large that the researchers of various museums, the cultural management committee, and the professionals of the archaeological team are ashamed!

If you play antiques, you have to rely on more reading and more practice, and at most you will become a mouth-cannon expert in the office, and Zhang Nan is a practical school.

"The production age of the Yue kiln is from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will be the time when the Yue kiln craftsmanship is the most exquisite, ranking first in the country!

At that time, the Yue kiln was much more valuable than the Tongguan kiln porcelain, and the Yue kiln porcelain celadon was closely related to the tea drinking fashion at that time, and the porcelain shape and glaze color were also sought after by tea drinkers, and this tea drinking fashion affected the shape of the Yue kiln celadon..."

Why is it expensive?

Not only because this ship carried less, but because more than 1,000 years ago, there were no bargains for things related to tea, and even the fuel for boiling water had to be high, so it was better to use pine cones;

The name of the Yue kiln was first seen in the Tang Dynasty, and Lu Yu said in the "Book of Tea": Yue porcelain is like jade, and Xing porcelain is like ice.

The Tang Dynasty usually named the porcelain kiln after the state where it was located, and the main kiln of the Yue kiln at that time was in the Yuyao and Shangyu areas of Yuezhou, so the Yue kiln refers to the kiln located in the jurisdiction of Yuezhou (Huiji, Shanyin, Zhuji, Yuyao, Yanxian, Xiaoshan, Shangyu seven counties) during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, and is known for producing jade-like celadon like ice.

Kilns in other areas of the south of the Yangtze River beyond this range, although they produce celadon in the style of Yue kiln, cannot be called Yue kiln, but can only be called Yue kiln kiln.

And Zhang Nan will be able to determine that the Yue kiln porcelain that will be fished up is a genuine Yue kiln - the experience left by countless times can be distinguished at a glance.

At this time, Weta gave the boss a piece of paper, and at this time, the approximate distribution of all the artifacts that had come out of the water so far on the seabed.

It's not a distribution map, Weta doesn't have that technology and speed, it's a distribution range. Zhang Nan took it and took a look: it was very clear that the three large urns were almost separated from the scattered porcelain at other different kiln mouths, and the distribution on the seabed was seven or eight meters away from each other.

Zhang Nan looked at the schematic diagram and said: "The big urn should be placed in the cargo hold, the cargo hold of this sailing ship will basically be in the middle and rear of the ship, so these porcelain from different kilns should be stored in the bow position."

With other packaging methods, there should not be enough space for a large urn. ”

The divers fished for something, but there was no trace of the large urn in that piece.

The porcelain at the mouth of the Yue kiln and the northern white porcelain kiln is precious, and it should be other more elaborate packaging methods used at the beginning. It's a bit ironic, more than a thousand years have passed, the big urn is still there, and the fine packaging is gone.

Zhang Nan will hold a Yue kiln celadon flower mouth bowl with a small number of barnacles attached to it, with a flower mouth and an oblique arc wall, five tendons in the bowl, and a slightly outward circle of feet.

The flower mouth bowl is almost full of glaze, the production is regular, and the glaze is green.

It's a pity that the time in the sea water is too long, although the glaze layer of this flower bowl is still good and has not peeled off, but it looks a little dry.

There's no way, it's like that, it's been soaked in salt water for a long time.

It's very kind, although it is not the best Yue kiln, and it is not even a fine Yue kiln, but this is the first intact Yue kiln celadon that was not dug out of the grave in my two lifetimes.

"If it is dug up in the Tang tomb in my hometown, buried in acidic soil for more than a thousand years, if you are not careful, you can turn porcelain into pottery in a few minutes, and these glaze water will instantly weather.

It's okay to come out of the sea......"

After speaking, he motioned to the sailors to put away their things, and the flower bowl in his hand did not put a piece of it with other items, and planned to collect it now.

Clean!

Although it was shipwrecked, it was not a funeral item, and it was clean!

Moreover, if the people on this Arab merchant ship had only accidentally hit the reef and had not encountered a major storm that would have killed the people who would have fallen into the water in a short time, the entire ship might not have died - the sinking site was only about 1 nautical mile from the coastline, and those who had been begging for a living at sea all year round were estimated to have been able to swim to the island nine times out of ten. ......

The celadon bowl in the hand is more pleasing to the eye the more you look at it, it is not a funeral item that feels good, and it is no problem to put it in the bedroom!

I have seen a lot of good Yue kiln porcelain, and even the real secret color porcelain slag bucket has been seen by a friend: that slag bucket is the existence of all the same kind of Yue kiln products in the Jiangnan Provincial Museum!

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and the people of the Hangzhou Provincial Museum don't have to be depressed and vomit blood, they will never see that grade of secret color porcelain slag bucket in their lives, so they don't need to shout pity.

How many ancient tombs do the archaeological team and the Cultural Management Committee excavate in a year?

It will definitely not go to the 1% killed by the engineering team and tomb robbers, and even a few hundredths is amazing, and it is normal not to see good things.

In this world, there are still many places that the public family can't see and manage.

Can you put it in your home and bedroom with the funeral goods?

Zhang Nan didn't let it go anyway.

But the porcelain of a thousand years ago is not obtained from tombs, and there is really nowhere to get it: broken exceptions.

In the past, Zhang Nan had a super-large melon-shaped Yue kiln celadon bowl with a diameter of 278 cm, but unfortunately the bowl was missing a large piece of duck egg, which should also be the color of the Tang Dynasty.

The bowl Zhang Nan found a friend and used plaster to fill the gap, like the cultural relics on display in the pudding in the museum, and put it in the study at home as a comparison display.

The oversized bowl didn't come out of the tomb: the yard in the old theater in the center of the county was to be dug into a huge fire pool, and a friend contracted to dig the earthwork there.

A friend asked Zhang Nan to take a look and give him guidance, so as not to miss it because he didn't know it if he dug up something good.

In a hurry, some real estate developers dig the foundation, that is, whether there is an ancient tomb or not, even if a large ancient tomb is dug, the construction worker is also urging the excavator of the engineering team "The author's eyes" when I don't see it, dry a little slower, pick up one or two bottles and cans are not allowed!

The higher the level of the tomb, the tighter the construction staff urges!

Dig, dig, dig!

Hurry up and dig up the balls!

If the cultural management committee comes, it is good to teach you to stop work for ten days and a half months, but if it is stopped for one or two months, the loss of the real estate company may be more than ten or hundreds of thousands per day, who can afford to stop work?

Bosses want to kill!

Zhang Nan has seen a lot of such scenes, a community next door to the county power company is more than 10,000 yuan per square meter, built on the hillside, Zhang Nan once thought about going there to buy a house.

As a result, I went to see the first phase, good guys, the second phase is digging the foundation, under the foundation of a house, there are several two Jin tombs, two 200 large excavators are working hard, not to mention the construction workers, and even the project manager seems to be standing on the side to supervise the formation: dig, dig quickly, dig for Lao Tzu as soon as possible!

Dump trucks queue up, regardless of your tomb bricks, mud or broken cultural relics, quickly pull them away and pour them out!

Zhang Nan watched for more than an hour, and then watched the two Jin Dynasty tombs disappear from front of his eyes......

Don't call the police?

Hehe......

Zhang Nan is a dealer of cultural relics, and the bosses who contract earthwork excavation are all his friends, and he can't be a villain, which will cause his friends to not get the construction money all of a sudden.

Looking around, in some hill-high mounds of dirt dug up, tomb bricks from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty are all in order, and broken pottery and celadon pieces can be found casually.

Tomb robbers can dig up several graves a year, and the engineering team is the big one!

I didn't buy the house, I thought the yin was too heavy.

And digging the fire pool is much easier, the project is not rushed, it doesn't matter if you dig for a few more hours.

Although the construction site is on the most prosperous street, this state-owned theater has fallen behind and is no longer shown to the public.

The builder is his own person, the small worker is his own person, the excavator is also the excavator, and the "instructor" is still a good brother.

Unfortunately, there was no gold, and there was no vat for silver dollars.

One digging and two digging, two meters below the modern surface, excavated a layer with a thickness of almost two meters: there is actually a huge garbage heap in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the broken Yue kiln porcelain and pottery are densely packed layer by layer!

The broken bowl was selected by Zhang Nan from the big garbage heap thousands of years ago.

The garbage heap of a thousand years ago was also "cleaner" than the tomb, which was put in the study.

......

Zhang Nan returned to the main dining room and saw his brother-in-law walking in with a bird-patterned plate in his hand.

Xiang Weirong gestured to the plate in his hand and said, "Can you prepare a few for Bosheng, he may need this thing in the exhibition hall." ”

Yongcheng has been a more famous port in China since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the exhibition hall is Nong Bosheng's own place, and it is also the hard work of half his life - just now Zhang Nan said that the intact Tang Dynasty copper kiln is in the museums of various provinces in China, in addition to Quanzhou in Hunan Province and Fujian Province, at most it can come up with single-digit collections, and there are few intact ones in the Guangdong Provincial Museum.

As for the folk, even less!

This thing is not used by the Chinese people themselves, and it is even rarer to be used as a funeral object.

There are hundreds of them in the three large urns, and it doesn't make much sense if there are too many of them, and "marine museums" like the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall like this kind of collection the most.

Needless to say, Zhang Nan is not stingy about this problem: he has taken advantage of the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall, and it is normal to give something.

"Here, but not now, I'll talk about it when I'm done fishing.

When the time comes, I'll get him a few hundred pieces, enough to build a special exhibition hall. In the future, we will also have a special exhibition area of this shipwreck in our own museum, anyway, there will be so many things below that it will be to death, and it will be no problem to divide Yongcheng. ”

When Xiang Weirong heard this, he said, "Don't sell it?"

"If you don't sell it here, you have to get rid of those Indonesian monkeys first. It wouldn't be interesting if we didn't have a specific location out of the water, but we didn't need to tell the monkeys how much we caught.

Generally, the time for a shipload of porcelain to be sorted out is several years, so take your time, just let the agricultural curator send someone to do this. I thought that if he retired, he would be able to serve as a full-time advisor to us. ”

Xiang Weirong didn't pay attention to whether the consultant was a consultant or not, and he didn't have much idea about this arrangement: he knew that in the eyes of his brother-in-law, this Tang Dynasty thing could enter the museum, and the Qing Dynasty export porcelain not far away...

Well, in Zhang Nan's eyes, the export porcelain of the Qing Dynasty is just a thing to exchange money.

It was more than 100 years ago, and it still is!

The salvage of the "Taixing" wreck has been approved by the Indonesian side, and the corrupt officials have long stuffed their pockets with US dollars, but the Tang Dynasty wreck here has not.

There is the right to explore and salvage this sea area, and I didn't write a few: but if you fish one after another, Indonesian monkeys are notoriously upshit!

Monkeys, don't expect them to do anything!

It's no problem to run away, but Zhang Nan's company will have to do big things in Indonesia in the next ten years, and it can't be old and dead.

It's okay to fish, but don't make a sensation all over the world.

Otherwise, not to mention the Indonesian monkeys, it is estimated that there are a lot of international institutions that come back to point fingers!

Xiang Weirong also considered this problem and said: "I asked Weta, and he estimated that there were at least more than 100,000 pieces of porcelain on the Taixing, and it would be heavy news as soon as it was made public, and it would have to be fished out here." ”

"Well, there is no hurry to sell things, and it will drag on for a few months.

But brother-in-law, there won't be only 100,000 pieces of porcelain on the big ship, a million..."

I feel that the hull of the yacht is moving, and I want to leave here and go to meet the "Big Shark".

Tomorrow, the large-scale salvage of the "Taixing" will begin. 74
