After Zhang Tianyuan hinted at the way to this place to Ouyang Xiaodan, he paid attention to the things in this room.

At this glance, his gaze was directly attracted by the nine big tripods placed in the room.

Ding is one of the most important bronze species, and was used by the ancient Han people to cook and store meat. The three dynasties and the Qin and Han dynasties lasted for more than 2,000 years, and the tripod has always been the most common and mysterious ritual vessel.

Generally speaking, there are two types of tripods with three-legged round tripods and four-legged square tripods, and can be divided into two kinds of covered and uncovered, and at this time the nine tripods placed in the house are also both round tripods and square tripods, without exception, they are huge, standing there, giving people a very shocking scene.

At that moment, Zhang Tianyuan almost felt as if his soul was about to be attracted by this Jiuding, and he unconsciously walked towards the largest bronze tripod, touched it lightly with his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "Mo Xie, this is what you call the Jiuding Heavy Weapon?"

"Yes, that's right. I didn't lie to you, compared to the bronze door just now, this Jiuding is enough to feast your eyes. Don't worry, we have time, we can appreciate it slowly, but Mr. Zhang, after appreciating it, this ticket has to keep up. ”

"Tickets?" Zhang Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I won't bring so much money with me, but if Boss Mo is willing to transfer money directly, we can trade now, if you are not happy, then send someone to get cash at that time." This time, I didn't bring any cash, otherwise, I'm afraid that the money will be gone, and human lives will be lost, right?"

"How could it be. Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is too worried. Too much to think about, like this. Take your time, I'll go to the next room to check on the situation. "Mo Xie's monitoring of Zhang Tianyuan has started since Zhang Tianyuan arrived in Tongzhu County, so he believes Zhang Tianyuan's words, not to mention that his people are still monitoring near Zhang Tianyuan's summer resort at this time, even if it is a cash transaction, it is very convenient, if the transaction is made here, it can be settled directly in cash there.

"I said Brother Zhang, is this Jiuding the legendary Yuwang Jiuding? These grandsons are really powerful, such a big thing, how did they get it out of the grave, tsk, they are worthy of being the battle thieves among the tomb robbers, this is also too fierce. ”

Seeing that Mo Ye left, Zhanfei's words also increased, for this Dading, which weighed thousands of catties, even if he was a person like him who didn't know anything about bronze. It's also going to be shocking, after all, when this thing is excavated, it can't be carried out by manpower, if it has to be carried by people. That's a lot of people.

Zhang Tianyuan knew something about this, because after Zhaoling was discovered. After some repairs, there are cranes and cranes at the scene. Perhaps it was at that time that this group of tomb robbers had already acted. Using the repair project, the Jiuding was stolen from the tomb, and then placed in a safe place, waiting for the wind to stop and then slowly transported back here one by one.

It was even more convenient to get here, because at that time, Master Wanghu often built things in his manor villa, which required cranes and trucks, so no one would suspect that they were bringing in something illegal.

It is estimated that even if Master Wanghu is the entire military base here, no one outside will know about it, unless there is a traitor in them.

Of course, there are also moles, such as Master Wanghu's eldest apprentice, but unfortunately that the eldest apprentice is now a white bone, but he was only in his twenties and was robbed of his girlfriend by his master and killed.

Jiuding is not easy to come out, Mo Ye and Master Wanghu discussed many ways to deal with it at that time, and even thought about simply breaking it, and then shipping it out of the country in pieces and selling it to foreigners. It was only later that because of an incident, the state began to crack down on the smuggling of bronzes, and they didn't want to cause trouble, so they temporarily placed Jiuding here.

According to Master Wanghu, if Jiuding comes to the house here, it can be regarded as his grand luck will never stop.

But this time it's cheap Zhang Tianyuan, according to the previous contract signed with the relevant departments, this Jiuding is to be placed in the HRE Museum for many days, these days, it is enough to make the HRE Museum a popular visit, and then Zhang Tianyuan will definitely not let this thing leave the museum lightly, he will try his best to postpone it, at this time, it is a critical period for connections and power to play a role.

"Zhanfei, this is not Yuwang Jiuding. The tripod was originally an ancient cooking utensil, with a three-legged round tripod and a four-legged square tripod. The earliest tripod was a clay-fired pottery tripod, and later there were copper tripods cast in bronze. Legend has it that Xia Yu once collected the gold of Jiumu and cast Jiuding under Jing Mountain to symbolize Kyushu, and engraved the image of the charm on it to make people vigilant and prevent being harmed. Since there is the legend of Yu casting Jiuding, the tripod has developed from an ordinary cookware to a national heavy weapon. When the country was destroyed, Ding moved, the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, the Shang Dynasty was prospered, and Jiuding moved to Bojing, the capital of Shang; From the Shang to the Zhou, the Dingdu or the establishment of the dynasty was called 'Dingding'. By the time of the Qin Dynasty, Jiuding was lost, and after the Qin Dynasty, the significance of Jiuding was not so great. ”

"But this thing is the same as the jade seal of the country, it is also a symbol of power, it is the emperors of all dynasties, they all want to use Jiuding to prove their greatness, Wu Zetian as the only empress in Chinese history, naturally no exception, she recast Jiuding, after her death Jiuding is also buried with her underground, it is this Jiuding, although it is not comparable with Yuwang Jiuding, but it is still a priceless treasure! Even if you take a hundred, 10,000 Picasso's oil paintings with me for exchange, I will not change, this is no longer a huge value that can be measured by money. ”

Zhang Tianyuan caressed Jiuding with his hand, while carefully admiring the patterns and patterns on Jiuding, for him, this thing is definitely more attractive than a beautiful woman dressed extremely charming.

He explained the origin of Jiuding to Zhanfei, although he felt a little regretful, because this Jiuding is not Yuwang Jiuding after all, but regret is regret, but Zetian Jiuding is still a priceless treasure, there is absolutely no doubt about this.

Yin Tianzi's three swords, although historically speaking, are earlier than this Jiuding, and in terms of craftsmanship, they are even more magical, not inferior to this Jiuding. Whether it is value or price, it is not inferior to this Jiuding, but if you want to talk about bronze, it is really the most shocking weapon of this country.

Jiuding asks the sky, a word Jiuding, no matter which dynasty is the history, for Jiuding, it is infinite worship and yearning.

Zhang Tianyuan is naturally no exception.

Speaking of which, as a native of Shaanzhou, Zhang Tianyuan has seen a lot of bronzes since he was a child, including various bronze swords, and even bronze heavy weapons, and bronze sculptures of human height. Among them, there will naturally be no less bronze tripods, and most of them are things before the Qin and Han dynasties.

But those things that don't belong to him after all, they are all things from several big museums, and he can only look at them but not touch them, and he can only see them but not hide them.

And this Jiuding is different, as long as the method is right, even when Jiuding is placed in the HRE Museum forever in his lifetime, there is absolutely no problem.

Of course, this is only one aspect.

In addition to the fact that the history of Tianjiuding is not as long as the bronzes before the Qin and Han dynasties, the rest of the technical achievements and artistic achievements are not inferior to any bronze heavy weapons he has seen before, and even surpass.

Among them, Shendu Ding is the largest mouth, named Yongchang, about one zhang and eight feet high, and the stylist belongs to the three-legged round tripod. Under the light touch, you will find that the place without ornamentation is polished very smooth, even like the feeling of a bronze mirror, near the edge of the mouth, there is a pair of straight ears, which is also one of the characteristics of the tripod, the ear ring is large and high, there is a special imitation of the Shang and Zhou periods, and there are also some ornaments with the characteristics of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, so that people can know at a glance that it is the work of that period.

In the round bronze tripod body hanging abdomen, there are three pillar feet, there are three semicircular big ears on the outer wall of the abdomen, corresponding to the three pillar feet, the upper part of the abdomen is decorated with three animal face patterns, and each animal face pattern is embossed out of a dragon head under each animal face pattern, and each column foot is also decorated with a relief animal face.

The carving skills of this god capital alone are enough to make Zhang Tianyuan feel incredible. I dare not say that it is gorgeous, but it is absolutely exquisite, and the technique simply feels like a cook, which is just an ordinary craft, but it is extremely good, so it has become art.

Except for the god capital Yongchang Ding in the middle, the other eight Dings are relatively smaller, but they are all about one foot and four feet.

Among them, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou are four-legged square tripods, while Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yongzhou and Yanzhou are three-legged round tripods.

It is the so-called heaven and round place, yin and yang are smooth, and there is a place in the oblique, Kyushu Taikang.

The meaning of Jiuding is probably like this.

Although these nine big tripods are only divided into round tripods and square tripods in general, the ornaments and patterns on each tripod are different, all of which show the characteristics of the place they represent.

And the amazing thing is that despite the differences in the carvings, the techniques are all unparalleled. People have to admire that the ancients had such superb technology, which I am afraid that even modern times may not be able to do.

In the past, ancient bronzes were priced by weight, and even in the war years, even a stupid person like Wang Daoist knew that this kind of national heavy weapon was priceless, and even if he dared to sell the scriptures cheaply, he would never dare to sell this kind of thing.

The more people who are influenced by traditional culture, the more they understand what Jiuding means and what the country's important weapon means.

They are all antiques in the prosperous era and gold in troubled times, but it was during the warlord melee that a British so-called adventurer spent the price of 26 cannons to buy a bronze heavy weapon from a warlord leader at that time.

Twenty-six cannons at that time, put it now, there is no doubt that it is a huge amount of money that will make you absolutely jaw-dropping. (To be continued......)
