Chapter 427: The Overlapping Bird Seal
Qi Changhe smiled slightly, "Most of the things here are with money." ”
Yu Yao responded, "Since that's the case, it's not for sale, and the old man said to give me the lowest price?"
"Why don't you sell it? It's better than those messy imitations. ”
The bottom of this Zhuge bowl does have a paragraph, but it is not the "Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year System", but the "Qi's Antique".
"Also, antique is not out of the circle, but I'm really not interested. Yu Yao smiled, "Old man, this is a unique way. ”
"As soon as you say that you have a unique way, I think that not all the things here are antique, and there is an old thing, or rather, I am not sure about it. Since it's so fateful, how about a look?"
Lin Fengcao didn't speak, but he was sure of Qi Changhe's eyesight, and when he heard that there was such a thing, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Yu Yao didn't push back, "Then follow the old man to open his eyes." ”
Qi Changhe pushed open the baffle on one side of the counter and walked out, first closed the store door from the inside, and then motioned for Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao to sit on the high stool, and then walked into the counter, opened the cabinet under the inner shelf, revealing a safe that was flush with the tall cabinet, and took out a long wooden box placed diagonally from the safe.
Qi Changhe laid the wooden box flat on the counter and slowly opened it.
Inside, there was actually a bronze sword!
The sword was very short, no more than two feet long, but the blade was wide, it should be about eight centimeters, and the hilt was also on the long side, nearly twenty centimeters. However, the shape of the sword lattice and sword handle is similar to the sword casting in the Wuyue area in the Spring and Autumn Period.
There was not the slightest trace of rust on this sword, and it was slightly reddish compared to other bronze swords from the Spring and Autumn period. The tip of the sword is on the lower side, and there are several very strange runes engraved on it, which looks a little weird.
This rune, Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao didn't know it, it didn't look like a text, the nick was not deep, and the trace was slightly white.
"Can you get started?" asked Yu Yao.
"Of course. Qi Changhe took out a pair of gloves and handed them to Yu Yao.
Yu Yao took it and put it on, grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand, and held up the sword with the other. After starting it, it felt heavier than the ordinary bronze sword, and when it was flipped over, the tip of the sword on the other side was downward, and the same runes were also engraved.
Looking down further, Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao couldn't help but shout at the same time:
"Wrong gold inscription?!"
Yes, on the body of the sword on this side, close to the sword grid, there are two columns of wrong gold inscriptions vertically, a total of eight characters.
Bird seals.
Although Yu Yao doesn't understand the bird seal, he can actually recognize six of these eight words when he looks at them!
I know all the four words on the right: Yue Wang dove shallow.
Four words on the left, two on the top: Cha Xuan.
Only the bottom two words on the left side do not recognize.
Actually, don't talk about Yu Yao, but anyone who has studied the bronze ancient sword and is more meticulous will know these six words.
Because it's the same as six of the famous eight-character gold inscriptions!
The famous Yue Wang Goujian sword was unearthed in 1965 in the Wangshan Chu tomb group. The same position on the sword body is the eight-character wrong gold inscription:
The king of Yue is shallow, and he uses a squeak at first glance.
Yue Wang dove shallow, since the first use of the squeak - meaning: Yue Wang Goujian, self-acting sword. The language of the Spring and Autumn Yue Kingdom is the ancient Yue language, and the name of the Yue King is expressed in Chinese characters, which is actually just a transliteration. In the ancient Yue language, the pronunciation of Jiuqian and Goujian is the same. Now, it can be seen as a replaceable word.
And the bronze sword in front of Yu Yao is very different from the Yue Wang Goujian sword, except for the similar shape of the sword grid and the hilt, it is different in other places.
Even the hilt of the sword is not exactly the same. The top of the handle of the Yue Wang Goujian sword, that is, the sword pier, is a three-dimensional circle, and the sword pier of this sword is an oval.
The sword body of the Yue King Goujian sword has a diamond-shaped pattern, which should be plated with a layer of alloy with various compositions, so that it is stainless for thousands of years.
This sword, again, has no rust, but the body of the sword has no patterns, only a slight redden, more like the color of pure copper.
And the eight-character inscription on this sword should be: Yue Wang Gu Qian, Cha Qi so-and-so. The so-and-so in the back is probably the name of this sword.
Lin Fengcao had been staring at the eight-character mistaken gold inscription, and Yu Yao saw that he was focused, so he put the sword back into the wooden box, and then took off his gloves and handed them to him.
Lin Fengcao took the gloves and put them on.
Yu Yao asked Qi Changhe, "Old Man Qi, how sharp is this sword?"
"I've only tried white paper and hair, cutting paper like nothing, and blowing it is a quick decision. It's just that I don't know what the hard things are, and I don't dare to try them randomly. ”
Yu Yao nodded, and stopped talking.
Qi Changhe waved his hand, "You want to ask where this sword came from, right? I really can't say more, but it's not from the market." ”
Yu Yao understood, "Since the old man doesn't hide his selfishness, I will also tell the truth, this sword should be able to reach the Spring and Autumn Period." ”
"But the shape is very different. Qi Changhe responded.
"If the system is consistent with other Spring and Autumn Ancient Swords, you should be suspicious. Yu Yao analyzed, "This sword, you don't need to look at anything else, you can judge it from the craftsmanship of the wrong gold." ”
"Oh, but this eight-character bird seal coincides with the six-character sword of King Goujian······ Obviously, Qi Changhe didn't know the remaining two words, and he shouldn't have found anyone who could identify them for a while.
"It is not difficult to imitate the glyphs, but the wrong gold inscriptions of the bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period are very distinctive, and it is difficult to completely match the details of the process. Yu Yao arched his hand, "In my opinion, I should congratulate the old man on getting the treasure!"
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. Yu Yao only said a few words, but Qi Changhe was able to basically accept it, because he was not a mediocre hand.
At this time, Lin Fengcao put the sword back into the box, and then took off his gloves, his face was solemn, "These two words ······"
When Yu Yao and Qi Changhe heard this, they couldn't help but look at him together.
Yu Yaoxin said, I almost forgot this stubble, Lin Fengcao can be regarded as a historian, although the bird seal is extremely difficult to identify, but he may not have studied it! Of course, after research, he can recognize some of the bird seal characters, and he may not be able to recognize these two words, but judging from Lin Fengcao's expression, he should have recognized them.
It's just that he may be hesitating now whether to tell Qi Changhe.
At this time, Qi Changhe didn't have time to think about it, and blurted out, "Do you know?"
This kind of thing, Yu Yao couldn't make up his mind for Lin Fengcao, so he could only be silent.
Lin Fengcao looked at Yu Yao, and then at Qi Changhe, "These two words, can I come down? I can find someone to take a look, or they can be recognized." ”
He left a cushion.
"Yes. Qi Changhe responded, "Don't hide it from the two of you, I came down to find someone to read these two words, but no one has been able to recognize them." Of course, I know a limited number of paleographers, and I have to make a decision about who to read or not. Although the age gap between the two of them and me is not small, and they met in Pingshui, I firmly believe in the word 'chance'. ”
