But if a person can make achievements in a certain industry, then he must be a very dedicated person, Professor Meng is like this now, at this moment he can't see anything else in his eyes except this jade figure. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Good thing, such a large piece of whole jade, and the carving is so exquisite, it can be described as the best in Han jade, which can represent the highest level of craftsmanship of jade carving at that time......"
After more than ten minutes, Professor Meng took his eyes off the jade figure, and there was a look of surprise on his face, it was obvious that this jade figure made Professor Meng feel shocked.
Professor Meng personally presided over the excavation of the ancient tombs, but he had never seen such a large volume of jade, after seeing the jade, he looked at the bronze candlesticks and terracotta figurines, and his face showed a look of regret.
Every piece of antiquities from the tomb is a wealth left over from the ancestors of history, looking at the broken bronze candlestick, Professor Meng's face is not very good-looking.
"Xiaozhuang, what age are you talking about these things?"
After looking at the objects, Professor Meng asked Zhuang Rui, and there was a sense of elegance in his words.
"Teacher, there is no doubt that these things are from the Han Dynasty, but I can't analyze whether they are the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Western Han Dynasty......"
Zhuang Rui replied honestly, let him distinguish the authenticity, Zhuang Rui has no problem, but let him tell the one, two, three out, he still can't catch it.
Dr. Ren, who had been following Professor Meng, suddenly said, "This should be the tomb of the Eastern Han Emperor......"
"Senior Brother Ren, how can you see it?"
If you want to say that your knowledge is not as good as your mentor, Zhuang Rui is convinced, but his senior brother concluded that it was the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum, which made Zhuang Rui a little unconvinced, and he watched it for a long time, but he didn't figure out whether it was the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Western Han Dynasty?
Dr. Ren laughed when he heard this, pointed to the jade man and said to Zhuang Rui: "Zhuang Rui, you see the costume of this jade man, it is a straight coat, the cuffs and placket are long and wide, and vertical downward, which is the characteristic of the Eastern Han Dynasty clothing......
There is also the shape of the woman on this bronze vessel, the placket is open to the right, and the placket of the Western Han Dynasty costume is open to the left, plus the tomb that can accompany the burial of the jade at that time, it must be the tomb of the emperor, even if the ordinary courtiers are princes, they dare not bury so thickly......"
When the Western Han Dynasty was established, it basically followed the clothing system of the Qin Dynasty, which was "Qufu Zen clothes", that is, the placket was oblique from the collar to the armpits, and when it came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the clothing became a "straight Zen clothes", which was a placket from the collar down vertically.
After the excavation of many burial goods, this view has been confirmed in the academic circles, so generally when excavating Han tombs, from the clothes of terracotta figurines or figurines, you can determine whether it is an object of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Western Han Dynasty.
Of course, these things are easy to say, but if you are not engaged in archaeology and have rich experience, it is difficult to judge from those glazed terracotta figurines.
"Xiao Ren is right, Zhuang Rui, you have also learned this knowledge, don't memorize it, you have to learn it now, and you have to combine it with reality......"
After Dr. Ren said this, Professor Meng nodded approvingly, and even educated Zhuang Rui again, as a teacher, it is natural to remind students anytime and anywhere what knowledge needs to be learned.
"I know, teacher, listening to what my senior brother said, it's really true, senior brother, you can't hide your secrets in the future, you have to remind me a little more......"
After listening to Dr. Ren's words, Zhuang Rui also felt his own shortcomings, he had learned all the things that Ren Chunqiang said, but in practical application, he was still much worse than this senior brother.
Dr. Ren was a little embarrassed by Professor Meng and Zhuang Rui, and waved his hand again and again: "Hehe, teacher, Zhuang Rui, don't praise me, if I hadn't presided over the on-site excavation of the tombs of the Han Dynasty several times, I might not be as good as Zhuang Rui......"
"Well, Xiao Ren's basic knowledge is relatively solid, and Zhuang Rui, you have rich experience in the appreciation of antiques, as long as you go to more excavation sites in the future, you can slowly apply it to practice......"
Looking at his two students, Professor Meng was extremely proud, Dr. Ren did things in a decent manner, and now he is staying in the university to teach, and he will definitely follow the same path as himself in the future.
Zhuang Rui's actions are a bit imaginative, and some of the things he does are often unexpected, but they can bring great surprises to people, such as the discovery of the treasure of the Klaus pirate, which made the Chinese scientific research community show a big face in the world.
As for the boiling "ancient porcelain" incident that spread some time ago, Professor Meng has also heard of it, if he guessed correctly, this matter is also from the handiwork of his proud protégé.
Although Zhuang Rui's methods are not very open-minded, and Professor Meng has a lot of criticism, the effect is very good, at least it makes several neighboring countries shut up about the so-called "cultural disputes".
Of course, Zhuang Rui himself will not admit that he did it, the antique shop itself is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and he bought fake objects with his own eyes, so he will knock out his teeth and swallow blood, who makes you not good enough and want to take advantage?
Although this is ugly, it is the right principle of the antique shop, if you don't believe that if you buy a fake object all over the world and shout, others will comfort you and say that you will pay the tuition, and no one will condemn the person who sells the fake.
Because it is the person who sells fakes, he may not see the authenticity of the object, the way of antique shop, what he plays is eyesight, which is also the fun of Taobao***.
……
"Xiaozhuang, where are the two peasant brothers you mentioned? Go, go to Henan now, and don't let this tomb be destroyed again......
After reading all the objects brought by the two brothers, Professor Meng's solemn face had a hint of excitement, although this tomb has been opened, there should be many things worth researching inside.
In fact, from the perspective of the preservation of cultural relics, antiques are placed in those sealed tombs, which are far more perfect than those to be excavated, because after the ancient tombs are opened, the air circulation will cause these burial goods that are more than thousands of years old to suffer devastating damage.
At least so far, there is no good way to excavate without destroying the burial goods of the tombs.
Therefore, from an archaeological point of view, it is not in favor of opening tombs on a large scale, and in many cases, archaeological excavations are forced to do so, usually after the tomb has been visited by tomb robbers.
Just like the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, although the specific location has been explored clearly, the country has not made up its mind to excavate it, firstly, because of technical factors, there is no way to properly solve the mercury flooded on the surface of the Imperial Mausoleum, and secondly, it is afraid of damaging the burial goods in the Imperial Mausoleum.
When the sealed imperial tomb is opened, the result of weathering is inevitable, and those precious cultural relics that have been preserved for more than 2,000 years are likely to turn into ashes, which is also the main reason why the relevant departments have been unable to make up their minds after many times.
"Teacher, only these two brothers know about the tomb, it's okay for the time being......"
Zhuang Rui didn't expect Professor Meng to be so anxious, and he was about to run to Henan, he was not prepared, Zhuang Rui was a little reluctant to leave the children who could just call their father.
Professor Meng shook his head and said, "Alas, the tomb has been opened, and the burial goods inside are not properly kept, and they will soon decay, so let's hurry up and get over......"
"Okay, teacher, I'm going to see if the police are done?"
Zhuang Rui had no choice but to nod and agree, anyway, he was going to the archaeological excavation site for an internship this year, so he would just use this tomb to practice.
Although the funeral goods had been moved by the two brothers and sisters, they had not moved the sarcophagus, and the most valuable thing was probably inside.
"Miao...... Officer Miao, how are you asking here?"
Zhuang Rui walked to the backyard, and the transcript of Zhang Daniu's two brothers had been completed, seeing Miao Feifei's frowning appearance, he must have been angry with Zhang Erniu.
Miao Feifei raised her eyes and looked at Zhuang Rui and said, "Zhuang Rui, you come with me......"
Zhuang Rui didn't know what Miao Feifei was shouting for, so he followed behind and said as he walked: "Officer Miao, what's wrong? If there is no problem, I want to take the two of them to Henan, and the ancient tomb will be rescued and excavated......
Although he knew that it was a cliff tomb built on a cliff, Zhuang Rui didn't know the specific location, the mountain was so big, if there was no Zhang Daniu brother, where would he find it?
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
After Miao Feifei heard Zhuang Rui's words, she suddenly stopped, and Zhuang Rui, who was following behind, almost bumped into it.
Miao Feifei looked at Zhuang Rui, lowered her voice and said, "Zhuang Rui, those two people are obviously tomb robbers, and you also said that they donated antiques, what do you mean?"
When he was making the transcript just now, Zhang Daniu was fine, according to Zhuang Rui's words, but Zhang Erniu was full of artillery battles, digging graves to make money, Zhang Daniu even kicked him and ignored him, and the two brothers almost didn't fight.
Not to mention that Miao Feifei has also handled a lot of big cases, even if she is a novice, she can also see that there is a greasy thing in it, so Officer Miao is extremely angry, this is obviously a major tomb robbery case, how did it become a farmer donating antiques?
"Hehe, Officer Miao, as the saying goes, the prodigal son doesn't change his money, these two brothers are not bad people, they have no sense of crime subjectively, and the harm caused to the tomb is not too great, so you can raise your hand and let them go......"
Zhuang Rui didn't expect to hide it from Miao Feifei, the reason why he called her directly was that acquaintances were easy to do, if he changed to a policeman, maybe he would sneak the two brothers into the bureau for this major tomb robbery case.
"Zhuang Rui, are you doing favors with the law?" Officer Miao glared at Zhuang Rui dissatisfiedly.
