306: Bronze Documents
Chapter 306: Bronze Literature
If it was just those things before, it was estimated that it would not attract Xu Lao's attention, but the next thing was to let Xu Lao give a death order. Not only Xu Lao, but if he is seen by other archaeological experts in China, he will stay desperately.
Because they are the relics of a civilization, the historical imprint of three dynasties. Their existence not only symbolizes the glory of that era, but also shines with the wisdom of the ancients.
Its significance is no less important than that of ancient books that have disappeared in the vastness of history.
Wan Zhoujun saw Zhou You's expression and asked, "Mr. Zhou is here for this thing?"
Zhou You nodded.
Wan Zhoujun replied with a smile: "Then I'll wait for a fight." ”
Sweat around.
Wan Zhoujun thought that Zhou You would be angry, and even beat him to stop him, but Zhou You just didn't make a specific move after his eyelids jumped, and immediately asked: "Aren't you angry? I use your identification ability to compete with you, but I am a little suspicious of taking advantage of you." ”
Zhou You replied: "First of all, you don't know about these bronzes, and you don't know what they really mean, and secondly, I am not afraid of your competition, because I feel that you have little interest in them. ”
Wan Zhoujun smiled and didn't reply.
At this time, Boss Xiang also finished squirting and began to give the price: "This batch of historical documents is all packaged and auctioned, the reserve price is two million, and each time you add it must not be less than 50,000, please give full play to your imagination." ”
Two million, even if it is auctioned off at the reserve price, Boss Xiang can earn at least 1.8 million. The reason why he was optimistic about this batch of bronze documents was because when he asked someone to identify them, the expert who was said to be good at identifying bronzes almost stared out his eyes.
"Two million and one million!"
After brewing for a long time, a boss with an extraordinary temperament in the center of the field raised his hand.
With his beginning, everyone raised their hands to increase the price. But everyone is very rational, and the price rises very slowly, but it does not let the atmosphere go down.
Seeing that Zhou You was indifferent, Wan Zhoujun wondered and asked, "Since you want to take it down, why don't you make a move?"
Zhou You replied: "I'm waiting for you to shout the price." ”
"You're a good idea. ”
After Wan Zhoujun finished speaking, he smiled gloomily and said, "As long as you tell me the true value of those things, I will offer a price, and I will never mess with you." ”
After Zhou You instructed Dazhi a few words, he replied: "The value of those things lies in the fact that what he recorded is the legal system of three generations!"
Wan Zhoujun asked, "Three generations, which three generations?"
Zhou You replied: "The three generations we generally refer to the three generations from the ancestor to the grandchildren, and sometimes also refer to the three generations of great-grandfather, grandfather and father. But in archaeological circles, the three dynasties refer to the three famous slave dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou in ancient China. “
Wan Zhoujun suddenly came over, but raised a question: "In foreign historiography, China's Xia Dynasty may not really exist, because there is no definite evidence to prove it, it only exists in legends, and it cannot be recognized by foreign historians, and the most tragic thing is that Chinese historians have not worked hard enough to come up with effective evidence to prove the authenticity of the Xia Dynasty." ”
Zhou You sneered and replied, "That's just the shallowness of some people. The existence of the Shang Dynasty can be studied on the oracle bone inscriptions, and the Xia Dynasty is more or less recorded in some ancient documents, but those self-righteous foreign historians cannot study it thoroughly. In addition, the unearthed cultural relics of the Xia Dynasty appear from time to time, and the ritual vessels made of bronze and jade can be seen in major museums, which are enough to show the authenticity of the Xia Dynasty. ”
Wan Zhoujun was embarrassed.
He has studied abroad since he was a child, and what he learned is naturally the knowledge given by foreigners, and it is reasonable to conflict with Chinese culture in some aspects.
"Two million five hundred and fifty thousand!"
Dazhi finally raised his hand to compete.
Zhou's instructions before traveling were to let Dazhi watch the point and avoid Zhou You missing it in order to deal with Wanzhoujun.
Wan Zhoujun didn't pay attention to it either, and continued the previous topic: "Okay, even if these bronze documents really record the legal system of three generations, they are the cultural relics of three generations. But I'm sure there are a lot of records about it, so why do you say that this thing is valuable?"
Zhou You asked, "You should have known about book burning." ”
Wan Zhoujun nodded and replied, "I know that it was the brutal strategy adopted by Qin Shi Huang to strengthen the centralization of power. ”
Zhou You recounted in detail: "In 221 B.C., the Qin Dynasty, the first unified centralized dynasty in Chinese history, was established. Due to the contention of hundreds of schools of thought in the society at that time, it seriously hindered the unity of the minds of the people of the original six countries conquered by Qin Shi Huang, and threatened the rule of the Qin Dynasty. In 213 B.C., Li Si, the prime minister of Qin, said that the foolish Confucianism 'enters the heart is wrong, and when it comes out, it is discussed in the streets, and the non-master thinks it is famous, and the different trends are high, and the group is slandered. Therefore, in order to unify the minds of the people of the original six countries, Qin Shi Huang began to destroy all the history books of the six kingdoms except the Qin Ji and the "poems" and "books" that were privately stored among the people, until the fall of the Qin Dynasty in 206 BC, which is known as "book burning" in history. It should be noted that from Li Si's book, it can be seen that all the books of the empire at that time, including those that were burned by explicit, were kept in the government with complete backups. Zhu Xi Yeyun: Qin's burning of books only taught the world to burn them, and his court still kept them; if he said, 'Those who are not in the hands of Qin Ji and the doctor will burn them', then he still keeps the Six Classics and the like, but there are no people in the world. But later, Xiang Yu led his troops to the west to slaughter Xianyang, killed the prince of Qin, burned the Qin palace, and the fire was not extinguished for three months. The Empire's precious collection of books, a large number of rare books that had become extinct among the people, were burned. The poor legal system of Tang, Yu, and the three generations, and the subtle words of the ancient sages, in the end, only turned into a few joules of heat. ”
Wan Zhoujun suddenly came over and asked: "I understand, what you mean is that after the book-burning incident of Qin Shi Huang and Xiang Yu, the records of the legal system of the three generations almost do not exist, and some are just the memories and elaborations of the latecomers?"
Zhou You nodded.
Wan Zhoujun asked in surprise: "Doesn't that mean that those bronze documents are the most authentic and powerful records of the existence, economic culture, and political system of the three generations?"
Zhou You continued to nod.
"Good!"
Wan Zhoujun shouted and quoted a price: "Five million!"
After shouting, Wan Zhoujun said to Zhou You: "This price is my previous psychological price, if you can go higher, I will not bid to compete with you again." But if you don't want it, then you're welcome. ”
"Six million!"
But Wan Zhoujun didn't come to get Zhou You's answer, and the temperament boss who was the first bidder before bid again, vaguely never backing down.
"I don't have anything more. ”
Wan Zhoujun gave Zhou You a helpless expression, took a step back, and said that he would withdraw from the competition.
Zhou You gave Dazhi a look, and Dazhi was very arrogant and compared a figure of eight and shouted: "Eight million!"
"Wow!"
"Maniac!"
"Where did the cow come from?"
"A few guys over there have already grabbed a lot of things, it seems that they have a background!"
"Look at that big black man, like a bear, I am afraid that it is not an ordinary person to be able to invite such a bodyguard, so let's not offend. ”
"That's right. The big black man's eyes were so terrifying, sharper than those murderers, that I didn't look at it and watched it a second time. Let's not mess around, otherwise the other party will suddenly not chase after us, where will we find such a large sum of money. ”
The people in the center talked a lot, and they were full of awe of the travels.
The temperament boss thought for a moment, and wanted to raise his hand but didn't dare. However, when he saw Forrest Gump's cold eyes, as well as Zhou You and Wan Zhoujun's smiling expressions, he finally chose to remain silent and gave up this batch of strange bronze documents to Zhou You.
Boss Xiang looked at Zhou You dumbfounded, completely unexpectedly that these not-so-looking bronze documents could be sold for such an exaggerated price. At this time, he was just thinking about three words: get rich!
Eight million, I don't know how long it will take to cheat him.
Zhou You asked Dazhi and Forrest Gump to collect the four bronze documents carved with shy and mysterious gold inscriptions, and took everything with them for personal protection.
The main written material of the Western Zhou Dynasty is the Jin script. Jin Wen is cast and engraved on bronze, in the old days because Jin Wen was mostly seen in Zhong Ding, so it was called Zhong Ding Wen.
Before the invention of paper, most written records were recorded on bamboo slips, silk silks, bones, animal skins or stone tablets, while bronze ware was generally used by nobles or royals because of its craftsmanship and weight, and the records were quite meaningful.
It is absolutely the only one in the country that is specially engraved on the bronze tablet like this, and it has extremely important historical significance. Not to mention anything else, its rarity alone has earned enough eyeballs.
"Mission accomplished!"
Zhou You exhaled heavily, and his body was greatly relaxed.
Wan Zhoujun congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, I hope to see Mr. Zhou's museum as soon as possible!"
"Thank you!"
Zhou You thanked him before replying: "As for the museum, it is still in the planning, and even the architectural drawings have not been determined." ”
Wan Zhoujun asked politely: "I know a few famous architects, if Mr. Zhou needs it, I can report their phone numbers to you." ”
Although the blueprint of a large museum cannot be designed in a moment, I believe in the energy of my friends and I believe that they will give me satisfactory answers. ”
Wan Zhoujun thought of the three names of the Xu family, the Cheng family and the Lin family, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yes, with these three families behind the scenes, how can it be difficult to travel around the design blueprint?
"It's out!"
Zhou You's words suddenly turned, bringing Wan Zhoujun back to his senses.
Just when Wan Zhoujun was wondering, he realized that Zhou You was referring to the final finale baby came out. Thinking of the previous bronze documents, Wan Zhoujun's mind became active, because the task of Zhou You was completed, it was estimated that he would not compete with him.
"No, how can this be!"
When Zhou You saw the specific appearance of the finale baby, he was immediately stupid.
Wan Zhoujun asked, "Does Mr. Zhou know this thing?"
Zhou Yu nodded violently.
Wan Zhoujun sensed the strangeness of Zhou You, and asked, "Could it be that thing Mr. Zhou's?"
Zhou You replied: "Although it is not, it will be soon." ”
