Chapter 34: The Treasure of the Town Hall

Yu Yao scolded with a smile, "Damn, are you going to pick up girls or collecting things?"

Pu Jie was a little embarrassed, "What, I just said it casually, by the way." ”

Subsequently, the four of them combined, Yu Yao and Pu Jie had nothing to do, Lao Zhou was also very free, and Huang Yongyi had to take out a day or two to arrange the store and business. Finally, it was set to set off early in the morning by high-speed train two days later.

From Jiangzhou to the porcelain capital, it takes three hours by high-speed rail.

In the past two days, Shen Ge has not contacted Yu Yao, and Yu Yao pondered that there were still some days left in the autumn auction, so he didn't ask much.

On the evening before leaving, Yu Yao bought cigarettes, wine and tea, and carried a large bag to Pu Jie's house.

Pu Jie's father, Pu Cunzhi, is a retired worker of the handicraft factory; after retirement, he was not idle, and went to the Dongjiang Provincial Museum to see the gate; Pu Jie's mother worked in the neighborhood committee. It's not a wealthy family, but it's stable.

For dinner that day, Pu Jie's mother made dumplings, stewed pork ribs, and fried two side dishes, and the two young men drank a few glasses with Pu Cunzhi.

Pu Cunzhi is two years older than Yu Yao's father, when Yu Yao's parents were alive in the past, Pu Jie was called Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu, and Yu Yao called Pu Jie's parents and aunts.

Yu Yao and Pu Jie are young, they are in the same class in kindergarten and primary school, and they are not in the same class in middle school, but they are also in the same school, which makes both parents know each other. Yu Yao graduated from high school and was admitted to university, and Pu Jie went to join the army.

Pu Cunzhi likes Yu Yao very much, in his words, this kid is too clever, the key is to talk about righteousness, Pu Jie is with him, rest assured.

Yu Yao ate happily, no matter how expensive and exquisite the dishes outside were, he always felt that it was not as smooth as the pot stove at home.

When he was about to finish eating, Pu Cunzhi took a sip of wine, looking slightly drunk, "I'll tell you two something, can you two keep it secret?"

Pu Jie was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that his father could have something worth keeping secret, and he still had to say it in front of Yu Yao.

Yu Yao reacted quickly, "What's going on with the museum?

However, it is also a little strange in my heart, because Pu Cunzhi is in the security department, mainly the doorman in charge of the gate, and sometimes he is transferred to maintain the order of the exhibition, but he can't understand any core information.

Pu Cunzhi nodded and lowered his voice, "It's not a trivial matter. ”

In fact, he didn't have to lower his voice at all, the room was just them, and the door was closed. Pu Jie's mother had already finished eating, and went to square dance with "The Vast End of the World is My Love".

"yes, Dad, how do you know?"

"At noon today, I got off work, I went to the office building for a little business, passing by the director's office, he was talking on the phone inside, and the door was not closed. ”

"Hey, you're eavesdropping!"

"Eavesdropping? Just passing by! Who knows why he didn't close the door······

Yu Yao interrupted Pu Cunzhi with a smile, "Uncle, what are you and Jie Zi muttering about this? Hurry up and say something big!"

Pu Jie also stopped, "Yes, Dad, I can definitely keep it secret!"

Pu Cunzhi put down his wine glass and looked at Yu Yao, "You know the treasure of the Provincial Expo, right?"

"Of course I know, it's too upside down!" Yu Yao responded.

Taidian Fangding is not only the treasure of the Dongjiang Provincial Museum, but also the bronze tripod in the collection of China, that is, the Simu Wuding of the National Museum of China (now known as the stepmother Wuding), and the Mao Gongding of the Palace Museum on Taiwan Island, which can be compared with it.

Because of this piece of Tai Tuo Fangding, the Dongjiang Provincial Museum has greatly enhanced its name.

Provincial and municipal museums can have such heavy weapons, and they will naturally be regarded as the treasure of the town museum. Just like the bell of Zeng Hou Yi and the sword of King Goujian of Yue in the Chu Provincial Museum, the golden jade clothes of the Ji Provincial Museum, the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" of the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, the Yuan Qinghua Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xinmei vase in the Jinling City Museum, the bronze sacred tree of the Sanxingdui Museum in Shu Province, and so on.

"You won't lose it, will you?" asked Pu Jie in a daze.

"It's not a brain?!" Pu Cunzhi glared at Pu Jie.

Yu Yao thought to himself, this is too upside down, when Fang Ding was exhibited before, he had also gone to see it. Don't say that you don't exhibit often, even if you exhibit often, it's impossible to lose it.

Simu Wuding, Mao Gong Ding, and Taidian Fang Ding, each with its own characteristics. Simu Wuding is the largest and heaviest bronze ritual vessel unearthed so far, and Mao Gongding is the bronze vessel with the largest number of inscriptions.

Taidian Fang Ding, not as big as Simu Wu Ding, and not as many as Mao Gong Ding's inscriptions, but the historical background is the most important, well-preserved, and the casting technology is extremely high.

The inscription in the Ding records that in the ninth year of King Wu of Zhou, he sacrificed to the deceased King Wen in Bidi, and then arrived in Mengjin to the east. In Mengjin, the princes of the Wuwang Alliance, numbering as many as 800, held a "military exercise" to defeat the Emperor.

The history is known as Mengjin Guanbing.

The minister Tai Dian, who followed King Wu to participate in the sacrifice and Mengjin to watch the soldiers, was heavily rewarded by King Wu, and he used the reward money to "make Bao Zun Yi", that is, to cast this tripod to commemorate this event. Tai Dian, is the assistant to King Wen and King Wu of the important ministers; two years after Meng Jin watched the army, King Wu officially fell, Tai Dian also made great contributions.

There are more than 200 inscriptions in the ding, recording this incident and passing it on to future generations.

When Taidian Fangding was exhibited at the Provincial Expo, it was naturally impossible to look closely, and it was also separated by a glass cover.

Yu Yao recalled that this statue was about 40 centimeters high and about 30 centimeters in diameter, with two vertical ears, folded edges, and a not deep abdomen. Because it is a square tripod, it is a four-column foot, and the column foot is relatively slender. There are dragon patterns, animal face patterns, decorative thunder patterns, and ox head patterns on the column feet;

Pu Cunzhi originally wanted to sell a pass, but when he stared, Pu Jie stopped squeaking, Yu Yao was secretly pondering, and suddenly quieted down for a while.

"The curator seems to be on the phone to the leaders of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, one by one, and his tone is very humble. Pu Cunzhi himself slowly opened his mouth again, "Guess what?

"Fake?" Yu Yao and Pu Jie shouted in unison!

Yu Yao thought to himself, although his eyesight was poor before, this Taidian Fang Ding was taken over by the Jiangzhou City Cultural Protection Department after strict review during the Republic of China, and it has been under protection since then, how can it be fake?

"What are you anxious about? I just said maybe. Pu Cunzhi said, "It turns out that yesterday the curator received a letter from the Chiga Art Museum of Wakoku. After researching, I spoke with the Senga Museum of Art on the phone this morning. The other party said, they also have a Taidian Fang Ding, and that one is the real thing!"

"Let's talk nonsense! The little devil is really capable of doing a whole thing! How many years has Fang Ding been in the provincial expo, how many times have they just exhibited it, why are they only saying it now?" Pu Jie sneered, "And where did they get the opportunity to compare and screen? What they have in their hands is fake, right?!"

PS: Tai Bund Ding is fictional, don't sit in the right seat.
