Although Ren Sili is the heir of the Dharma Weapon Hall, he is quite interested in bronzes, and he has his reasons, saying that many of the magic weapons are actually bronzes.

However, he likes bronzes, but he is not proficient, it can only be said that it is purely a hobby, which is a kind of worship and pursuit of the excellent cultural heritage of his ancestors; in addition to often consulting experts and teachers, he usually goes to the streets, picks up bookstalls and bookstores, and buys all materials related to bronzes, especially those with colorful pages.

As long as there is a business trip, every time you go to a city, you must enter the museum, look at it with your heart, the only regret is that you can't touch it, listen to its voice, smell it; even so, perseverance, you can also make a small progress.

From the age of fifteen to now, there have been more than ten years, and he will help his friends keep an eye on the market when he has time, and occasionally have the blessing of picking up spills and slashing bronzes.

Of course, the level still belongs to the vulgar who are dissatisfied with the bottle and the half bottle is dangling. Therefore, in most cases, when identifying an artifact with peers, it is often saliva flying and unconvinced, but in the long-term practice of finding leaks, it is found that some imitations are mixed with iron materials during production, so they come up with a method of using magnets to identify, and they can greatly save the time of "eloquence".

No, as soon as he arrived in Yangcheng, this guy took Zhang Tianyuan to the antique city to wander around, and swore that he might be able to find something made by the silkworm lady, and then touch the melon along the vine and pull it out.

Zhang Tianyuan is also a lover of antiques, and he can't love it so much that he agreed after thinking about it.

Tang Sheng and Bai Teng didn't want to miss such an opportunity, so they followed together.

Passing by an antique stall, Ren Sili fell in love with a bronze object. It's a tripod, not particularly big. But it looks quite thoughtful, and more importantly. This looks like the real thing.

Zhang Tianyuan wanted to see what Ren Sili was capable of, so he didn't say anything.

The stall owner is also a powerful person, a mouth is a lotus flower, tell Ren Sili to say, you see there are more than 30 words on this tripod, this is a genuine golden text, a truly amazing bronze, after buying it, you will be rich.

Then he said that this tripod is a treasure passed down from four generations of royal descendants, and there is a sub-district office and a police station to prove it. I'm strapped for money. I urgently need a sum of money to do a big thing, so I mortgaged 100,000 yuan, and then signed a contract, and asked Ren Sili to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan first and find someone to appraise it.

Ren Sili naturally thought of Zhang Tianyuan, and asked Zhang Tianyuan to help him take a look.

Zhang Tianyuan looked at this copper tripod, to be honest, the shape is simple and elegant, and more importantly, the workmanship is also exquisite and delicate. It has the characteristics of ancient bronzes, and when it is placed there, it simply eclipses the antiques around it. while

What's more, the shape of this tripod is properly proportioned. The color of the toning is natural and smooth, the width is greater than the height, and it is oblate and round. The small cover is raised and has a three-bird ring button. Oblong appendages with a distinct convex string on the abdomen. There are indeed more than 30 characters on the outer wall. Some of the fonts are blurred.

Zhang Tianyuan didn't use the word appreciation technique at this time, and when he saw this, he felt that his heart was beating faster, so he tried to recall some information about bronzes in his mind.

It's like I've seen this thing somewhere.

I see!

It is the tripod of the Zhongshan King of Zhongshan Kingdom unearthed in Pingshan ~ County, Bac Ha Province in 1977, and there is an inscription on it that records the story of Zhongshan Kingdom and Qi State joining forces to destroy Yan Kingdom.

If this thing is real, it can be regarded as a priceless national treasure, but this is not a tripod, but a set, a total of nine, are stored in the Beihe Pingshan Cultural Relics Management Office, if this is one of them, it means that there is a thief born.

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan will not make a judgment so easily, his attainments in bronze identification are not bad, even if he doesn't need to use the word appreciation trick, he can also see some clues, so he continued to observe carefully, wanting to see something from this Zhongshan Ding.

But it's a pity that no matter how you look at this tripod, there is no flaw in it, the font on this tripod is fair and rigorous, and it has the style of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Although it is said that the shape of the vessel is a typical Warring States Ding, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are not too far from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it is not impossible to imitate the Jin Wen style of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

So from this point of view, even if there is a difference of five or six hundred years between the shape and the text, it is not directly certain that something is fake.

Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan weighed the weight again, which was not very heavy, which was not quite consistent with the fake bronzes.

From a variety of characteristics to observe, this bronze tripod, is really quite outstanding, if it is fake, then it is definitely able to fake the real high imitation bronze.

Of course, some people say that the real Zhongshan Ding font is a typical Spring and Autumn Hanging Needle Seal style, the font is slender and long, delicate and straight, there are 469 characters, chiseled on the shell, from this point you can judge that this is a high imitation of bronze, is a fake.

But how do you know it's not an imitation from the Warring States period?

If it was imitated at that time, it would be worth the same money.

And there is a possibility, maybe Zhongshan Ding is copied from this Ding.

Since the possibility exists, then this cannot be relied on to distinguish the authenticity of the bronze tripod.

Tang Sheng told Ren Sili that it was better to buy less things from this roadside stall, and there were too few real things, so he should not be impulsive.

As a result, Ren Sili proposed to let him identify it himself, and the method used was magnet identification.

His reasons are pertinent.

Because it has been confirmed by archaeology, only a few kings and tripods of Chu and Yan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were iron legs and copper bodies, and the rest were basically red copper, lead-tin alloys, and there was no iron "shell" at all.

If this tripod is genuine, then it is at least worth more than 10 million yuan, how can the stall owner let Ren Sili get it for 1,000 yuan?

Ren Sili seems to have known this identification method for a long time, and even usually carries a magnet on his body, even if Tang Sheng doesn't say it, he wants to try it.

He had removed the magnet from an old-fashioned radio.

However, after using it, it was a little helpless, because the magnet could not be adsorbed, that is to say, this bronze tripod is very likely to be real!

Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said, "This thing of yours is purely a small skill of carving insects, and it is something that only people who know a little about bronze can do." Let me tell you, since the Song Dynasty, imitation bronzes have been endless, the level is high and low, the imitation of the court of the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty is better, and there is no shortage of masters among the people, most of them are mainly brass, but they do not contain iron components, so although the magnet inspection can screen the iron-containing fakes, it is really not very reliable. ”

"Therefore, for the identification of imitations based on brass, we must still follow the methods of teachers and experts, and after long-term field practice, it is possible to improve the level of identification and treasure collection skills. ”

"So you're saying this thing is fake?"

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said, "Anyway, it's not true, it's a bit new." ”
