Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This classmate said well, have you studied bronze cups before?"

Wu Feng shook his head and said, "No, I just saw it in a book by chance." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"It seems that this classmate has an excellent memory. ”

Meng Zitao smiled, and then said to everyone: "Are there any classmates who know more about bronze cups?"

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Meng Zitao didn't care, so he explained to everyone: "In fact, the bronze cup I brought today is actually an antique work of the Ming Dynasty, and the quasi-ancient ware based on the pre-Qin bronzes was first seen in the Song Dynasty. ”

"In the Ming Dynasty, with the literati's admiration of antiquity, the antiquities market flourished, forming a culture of chasing the ancients, admiring the ancients and loving the ancients, and the appreciation of antiquities derived a new appreciation concept of the ancient, which also drove the direction of artistic creation. This piece is the ancient in the new, not only inheriting the ancient style, but also on the basis of the gold and silver technology in the spring and autumn period, with green particles to further strengthen the ancient decorative effect of the ornamentation. This is also the evidence that proves that it is an antique bronze of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Below, please look at the bronze cups displayed on the curtain, these are the works of the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you can compare it with the table, and see what is different......

Next, Meng Zitao introduced the pre-Qin bronzes in simple terms, and explained the characteristics of antique bronzes in various periods through the bronze cups he brought.

Meng Zitao pinched the time, and when there were still about ten minutes, he finished the main lecture.

"Okay, that's all for today's lesson, if you have any questions, you can ask them. ”

Han Yimao immediately asked: "I often hear that the identification of bronzes depends on the rust color, how do you look at this rust color?"

Han Yimao's demeanor when he spoke was a little careless, and Meng Zitao was quite displeased, and said: "The common patina colors are green rust, red rust, blue rust, black rust, purple rust, etc. I don't want to be infamous for wasting everyone's time, so we'll talk about it after I bring the real thing in the next class. ”

Han Yimao was a little annoyed in his heart, what Meng Zitao said was so simple and clearly perfunctory.

"Who else has questions?"

"Teacher, what is the matter with the gasket of the bronze?"

It was Wu Feng who asked, and of course Meng Zitao did not hesitate to answer those who were polite.

"In fact, the formation of the gasket is related to the process, and most of the casting processes of ancient bronzes are made by the fan casting method, that is, the clay is used to make the model on the pottery mold. Generally, solid bronze objects such as swords and tufts can be made using only the outer fan and do not need gaskets, while those bronze objects with hollow cores, such as pots, gargles, guis and some thin-walled containers, need to be assembled with the inner and outer models to be cast. ”

"The gap between the inner and outer fan is the wall thickness of the artifact. The error of the gap between the inner and outer range should be controlled by some methods or technical measures, otherwise, it will directly affect the uniformity of the wall thickness of the utensil, and even become a waste product. In order to ensure the quality of the utensils, it is necessary to ensure that the gap between the inner and outer fan is uniform, and the inner and outer fan are fixed before pouring, so that they cannot move freely. ”

"The red copper sheet with a different alloy composition and the same wall thickness as the object is called a gasket, and the craftsmen regularly place the gasket on the outer surface. Gaskets are mostly square, fusiform, or sheet red copper. In the casting process, when the bronze solution of about 1,000 degrees is poured into the fan cavity, these gaskets will not be melted off, some are displaced by impact, some are encapsulated by the copper liquid, and some are exposed to the surface of the utensils. ”

"Generally speaking, the traces of the surface gasket of the bronze container unearthed from the puddle are clearer and obvious, as long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find, and the traces of the surface gasket of the bronze container of the dry pit are more blurred, although the rust is a color, but carefully identify, there are marks around the gasket can still be found......"

Meng Zitao's detailed explanation made Han Yimao very angry, and his question was perfunctory, but Wu Feng's question was so detailed, this was clearly a personal vendetta in the communiqué!

Meng Zitao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to let everyone ask questions, and the next questions were varied, and everyone was undoubtedly most interested in the antiques. However, Meng Zitao didn't talk much about this, so as not to mislead people's children, if it was because of himself, some of these students would not be able to pick up the leaks, then they would be guilty of their own crimes.

"Do you have any questions?"

"Teacher, do you have a girlfriend?" asked the girl named Yuehui, who also mustered up the courage to ask, and then covered her face shyly.

Meng Zitao was stunned, and then laughed: "Teacher, I am about to get married, and when I get married, please go and drink the wedding wine." Okay, it's almost time, that's all for today's class, see you next time. ”

Hearing Meng Zitao say this, Wu Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, otherwise he really wouldn't have the confidence to fight Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao was packing up his things and preparing to leave, when Han Yimao stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher Meng, since you are a famous calligrapher in China, can you leave us a calligraphy treasure?"

Meng Zitao looked at him and said with a smile: "I don't have any preparations today, I'll just write a poem on the whiteboard." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a whiteboard marker and wrote on the whiteboard behind him.

In the green garden, the sunflower waits for the sun.

Yangchun Budeze, all things are brilliant.

Often afraid of the autumn festival, the yellow leaves of the yellow flower decline.

Hundreds of rivers from the east to the sea, when to return to the west.

The young man does not work hard, and the boss is sad.

This song from the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, I believe many people are familiar with it, and Mencius's elegant calligraphy also amazes everyone and admires it in their hearts.

Han Yimao originally thought that what the counselor said was too exaggerated, Meng Zitao was so young that he was actually called a contemporary grass saint, this is not a big tooth to laugh, I didn't expect Meng Zitao to really write a good hand, but this is not the key, what does Meng Zitao mean by writing this poem, is he saying that he does not learn and has no skills? It is bearable, which is unbearable!

Meng Zitao doesn't care what Han Yimao thinks, the best way to treat this kind of person is to ignore it, of course, if Han Yimao does things again and again, then don't blame him for being unkind.

"Thank you Teacher Meng for leaving us such a wonderful calligraphy work, this whiteboard will definitely be well collected by our school. Mr. Lu appreciated Meng Zitao's works, and sighed in his heart, with this level of calligraphy, it is not an exaggeration for Meng Zitao to have his current reputation.

Meng Zitao waved his hand: "Teacher Lu, today is mainly because I am not prepared, go back and wait for me to bring pen and ink over, write a good picture." ”

"It doesn't mean anything. Teacher Lu laughed.

Han Yimao was furious when he heard this: "What is the meaning, do you want to nail me to the pillar of shame in history!"

Although Han Yimao was angry, in front of the counselor, he didn't dare to get angry, so he simply took the book and left.

Since Teacher Lu insisted on this, Meng Zitao didn't need to say anything, he packed up his things and walked out of the classroom with Teacher Lu.

"Teacher Lu, I don't know what are the shortcomings of today's class?" Meng Zitao asked as he walked.

Teacher Lu smiled and said, "Teacher Meng should be in class for the first time, and it's already quite good." ”

Meng Zitao knew that he was euphemistic, and said with a smile: "Then how can it be strengthened." ”

Teacher Lu said: "You can intersperse some questions during the period and interact more with the students, and the effect should be better." ”

"Okay. Meng Zitao recalled that when he was in class, he did spend more time reading from the book, and he really needed to improve this aspect. Like when I was in school, I didn't like the teacher who read the textbook, but it became like this when I went to class by myself, which seems to be really easier said than done.

"Teacher Meng, it's noon, let's have a light meal together, shall we?" said Teacher Lu.

Considering that he would have to deal with him in the future, Meng Zitao agreed with a smile.

Teacher Lu took Meng Zitao to a restaurant outside the school to ask for a private room, the hotel is small but well furnished, the service attitude is also good, and the dishes are also very delicious.

The two chatted while eating, and Meng Zitao asked, "Listening to the accent, Mr. Lu doesn't seem to be a local." ”

Teacher Lu said with a smile: "Yes, my hometown is in Northeast Bingcheng, and I came to work in Lingshi after graduating from university, and now I have settled in Lingshi." Speaking of which, my family is also a scholarly family, and my grandfather also likes to play with these things, plus my home is close to Daowai, and since junior high school, I often go to the thrift market near my home, and some pocket money is spent on it. ”

Meng Zitao has also heard of the Daowai thrift market in Bingcheng for a long time, and every holiday, it is crowded with people, just like a market in the countryside. Against the backdrop of several old antique shops, the entire street is paved with small stalls of antique devices. Moreover, the merchant is so simple that the luggage is opened as a sales stall, and it can be carried away when it is closed, and it is very convenient and very distinctive.

Of course, these are just what Meng Zitao has heard, and whether this is the case or not, then only seeing is believing.

After listening to Mr. Lu's story, Meng Zitao asked, "Does Mr. Lu still collect antiques?"

Teacher Lu shook his head: "Hey, since something happened in high school, I won't touch this thing." ”

It turned out that on a Sunday in his sophomore year of high school, he went shopping with his grandfather, and happened to see three men carrying a black handbag to the intersection, openly selling "antiques", claiming that they had just been dug out of the ground.

Out of curiosity, Mr. Lu also leaned over to take a look, and found that the handbags of the three men peddling "antiques" contained a "jade", and the jade was carved with a rui beast with some yellow mud on it.

"They treat it like a treasure, put it away as soon as they show it to people, and cinch the bag tightly. Teacher Lu said: "One person first offered 2,000 yuan, and then several people gathered said that they didn't have that much money with them, and after some 'bargaining', the two sides finally decided that the transaction price was 800 yuan." ”

"Then a few people began to make money, and I didn't know if they were real or fake, but because I had seen similar scams, I casually questioned on the spot, 'It can't be fake, right?' Who knew that the man who sold "antiques" immediately replied to me viciously, 'It's about your, nosy'. I was also young and vigorous at the time, and I scolded him on the spot, and then I even moved my hand and injured my grandfather's head. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Why is it so rampant. ”

"It's not!" Mr. Lu gritted his teeth and said: "Those few people didn't have a serious deal, after my grandfather was cured later, his head hurt every cloudy day and rain, and he died within two years, so it should have something to do with it." Because of this, I feel very guilty, every time I see an antique, I can think of this matter, and I simply can't see it. ”

Meng Zitao nodded, he could also understand Teacher Lu's approach.

After being silent for a moment, Teacher Lu smiled slightly: "Teacher Meng, I'm really sorry to talk about such an unhappy thing." ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand and said it didn't matter.

Teacher Lu toasted Meng Zitao with tea instead of wine to apologize: "Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years since then, and the things I used to buy have been collected and never taken out, and I don't know whether the things are real or fake now, and when I go back during this winter vacation, I will bring them over and ask you to help identify them, I don't know if it is okay?"

"Of course......

Because he was going to Xiangjiang, after eating, Meng Zitao thought of something, went to an antique shop again, and explained the matter to Hu Yuanliang.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Zitao saw the old cow running in with a shout: "Big shopkeeper, I have something I want to ask you for." ”

"What is it?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.

"This thing is said to be made of a blue rhino. The old cow took out a carved object.

Meng Zitao laughed: "I said Lao Niu, do you know what a birhino is?"

Lao Niu nodded and said: "I know, it is recorded in ancient books that the bone is like a rhinoceros, out of the West, its color is like light jasper, slightly yellow, its texture is like a horn like bamboo, and the sound of the buckle is as clear as jade." Grinding and scraping smells fragrant, burns it without smelling, can reduce swelling and poison and can distinguish poison, also known as the blue rhinoceros, this is the most expensive!"

The snake horn is also known as the snake horn, and the snake horn does have something in the history of our country, and it has been recorded in the historical books of the Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that it can detoxify all kinds of poisons. However, due to the fact that most of these historical materials are rough and inexhaustible, it is difficult to construct the true appearance of the snake's horn, and the snake's horn was extinct before the Qing Dynasty, so there has never been a scientific definition of the basic concept of the snake's horn.

In other words, what exactly is a serpent's horn? No one has been able to say for sure. In modern times, the name of the snake horn is even less known, and there have been records of no physical utensils, so there is almost no relevant research in China.

Meng Zitao smiled: "Is it a birhino, don't you know if you scrape it a little and smell it?"
