Chapter 1274: A More Accurate Dragon Phase
"My mother-in-law, so many antique bronzes, you have been digging people's ancestral graves all these years, right......?"
I thought that my psychological preparation was sufficient, but after really seeing these varieties and huge quantities of bronzes, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but get excited. For someone who likes to collect, especially antiques, this is simply a Garden of Eden full of temptations.
Chinese bronzes are not only numerous, but also rich in shapes and varieties. There are wine vessels, food utensils, water utensils, musical instruments, weapons, agricultural tools and tools, chariot and horse utensils, household utensils, currency, seals, and so on. There is also a knight in the wine vessel category alone. There are more than 20 kinds of utensils such as horn, jiao, 斝, zun, pot, 卣, fang yi, 觥, 罍, 盉, spoon, forbidden and so on, and each kind of utensils presents a different style in each era, the style of the same vessel in the same era is also colorful, and the bronze ware in different regions is also different, like a hundred flowers blooming, colorful, so that the bronze has a high ornamental value.
At this time, in this room, except for a few types of bronzes, basically most types of bronzes appeared.
Maybe it's because there are a lot of things, the place is small, after pushing the door open, right next to the door, you can see a lot of bronze products placed there, it looks like it should be something like farm tools, although it has gone through thousands of years of history, it is covered with patina, and there are no ornaments and inscriptions, but the appearance of agricultural tools is an excellent confirmation of the history of bronze.
Although no one in the market will buy it, it is different when you put it in a museum. Many visitors to the museum will be amazed by such bronze farming tools. People of that era already had access to metal farming tools, compared to the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. It's just too much cash.
Of course, in addition to these most commonly used farm tools by the common people, there are also things that the nobles and princes like, such as the bronze rope and the two bronze bells placed on both sides that completely form a series, which are so well preserved, it really amazes Zhang Tianyuan.
The things used by these nobles and princes are different, and the ornaments and inscriptions on them are important historical documents, both for research and collection, and for collection.
Although such a musical instrument is compared with a national heavy instrument like Jiuding. It's a bit dwarfed, but compared with the average bronze tripod, it's not inferior at all. In particular, this chime, which is a complete set of musical instruments, is definitely priceless if it is really sold.
These things may be easier to hold than the bronze tripod, because the largest is only half a meter, and the smallest is only the size of a fist, as long as it is put in a bag. If these tomb robbers want to smuggle, it is also very convenient.
So for tomb robbers. I'm afraid that this thing will have a higher status than Jiuding in their minds.
"To be honest, Boss Mo, although I look down on you tomb robbers and think that your unrestrained and reckless excavation is really ruining a lot of things, I can get this ancient chime out of it. It's a skill......"
There are two sets of chimes, one set of thirty-nine and one set of twenty-seven. The ornamentation is exquisite, and the workmanship is excellent. According to the dragon physiognomy display, plus the information obtained by the discerning eye, it can be known. These two sets of chimes are supposed to be court instruments of the late Spring and Autumn period of the Wu Kingdom.
Zhang Tianyuan stepped forward and tapped lightly a few times, and found that although the southeastern relationship had gone through 2,500 years of vicissitudes, it still had a clear rhythm and a clear timbre.
Of course, compared with the famous Zeng Hou Yi chime, this thing is still a little worse, but even so, Zeng Hou Yi chimes are just one set, but there are two sets here, and the number of the two sets is just equal to the number of Zeng Hou Yi chimes, I don't know if this is a coincidence, or what.
Before the discovery of the bell of Marquis Yi, the largest number of bronze bells on the bell was only nine, and after that, most of the bells found were incomplete.
Compared with the two sets of chimes in front of Zhang Tianyuan, they are really too bad, once these two sets of things come out, although they may not be as powerful as Jiuding, they are definitely enough to shock the world.
Zhang Tianyuan continued to walk inside, he wanted to check the situation here.
In the room, there is also a diamond-patterned bronze sword that can be called a fine bronze sword in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is very similar to the hand-me-down Fucha self-action sword. In particular, several concentric circles are carved in the round sword head, as thin as a hair, neat and exquisite, such a fine engraving process, experts speculate that it is related to the appearance of iron.
And this sword is just one of the weapons, in addition to the sword, there are also many bronze weapons thrown on the ground, including Ge, spear and axe, Yue, knife, hammer, halberd, etc., and even some things Zhang Tianyuan can't name Ali, this time it is an eye-opener.
Some of these weapons are sharp weapons for killing enemies on the battlefield, and when you look at them with the word appreciation technique, you can even clearly feel the strong killing intent in the weapons, while some are accessories for scholars.
In ancient times, many scholars and doctors pinned the sword to their waist as an accessory, and they may not be able to dance the sword, but it is a symbol of status, just like many rich people in modern times like to bring a beautiful woman when they go out.
A good sword is equivalent to a beautiful woman, which not only represents identity, but also reflects your own charm.
In addition, there are copper plates and copper with inscriptions, which not only inherit the characteristics of geometric curve weaving ornamentation, but also cover with fine beautieth patterns, which are extremely complex and gorgeous. In addition, the fragments of copper plates are also engraved with figures, trees, exotic beasts and geometric patterns, reflecting the content of nobles' feasting and hunting, which is extremely rare.
In addition to these, there are Zang Sun Zhong, Gou Wu Taishu Pan, Luo Er and other bronzes, the inscription on the top, but the carving is very clear, it is said that similar things have been found in Jinling, and the inscription on it is also considered to be the oldest local writing.
Not to mention these things, the rest of the bronze mirrors, bronze jue, and some bronze coins, bronze ornaments, etc., that Zhang Tianyuan had never seen before and couldn't even name, were basically thrown at random on the ground.
This really has to be selling Yetian and not distressing.
Not to mention anything else, as far as the bronze mirrors Zhang Tianyuan saw were worth at least tens of millions, although there were also general goods, but there were many fine products. Those bronze lords are even worse, just thrown on the ground, some of them even broke their legs, these tomb robbers, it is simply a representative of barbaric excavation, no wonder the state repeatedly ordered that private tomb robbers are not allowed.
He felt that he had really been deceived by the tomb robbery novel, and the tomb robber was the tomb robber, this is the bloody reality.
"What kind of skill is this, I have also got a copper chariot horse equivalent to the real thing before, and a green tung tree that is more than ten meters long, you are still an archaeologist, why don't you know as much as me." When Mo Xie said this, he was a little proud.
But it's no wonder, Zhang Tianyuan said that he graduated from archaeology, but in fact he didn't do much archaeological things, and he really played antiques for just over a year.
In terms of experience and knowledge, Mo Xie is really qualified to laugh at him, but listening to the ridicule of the tomb robbers, how can he feel that it is so unpleasant?
"Gotta have it, don't brag, why didn't I see that there are copper chariot horses and green tung trees here, oh, there are, but the copper chariot and horse are only the size of toys, it's different from what you said, the green tung tree is just a bronze trunk, right?" Zhang Tianyuan didn't have a good air.
He is depressed, foreigners are just messing with Chinese bronzes, the scene in the warehouse of the British Empire Museum is still deeply imprinted in his mind, how come back this time, only to find that even the Chinese themselves are messing with their own things, this can not be depressing.
Although this guy in front of him is just a grave robber.
"I'm not bragging. Mo Xie wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he closed his mouth again.
Zhang Tianyuan wondered in his heart, could this guy still have some treasures hidden, he looked at it, there were about eight or nine hundred bronzes in this room, if according to what Mo Ye said before, there should be as many as two or three thousand bronzes he had, and there were really things in private collections?
And he doesn't believe that Mo Xie only stole bronzes when he robbed the tomb, and it is estimated that there are other treasures that have not been taken out, as the so-called cunning rabbit three caves, it is difficult to guarantee that this grandson will not hide the stolen things in different places. Maybe even Master Wanghu doesn't know about this.
However, since Mo Xie didn't say that, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't continue to ask questions, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the guys, it would not be good, he took so much effort, just to make Mo Ye believe that he could be trusted, if the flaws were revealed at this time, it would be tantamount to abandoning all the previous efforts.
And Zhang Tianyuan has encountered another thing now, so he has no time to continue asking questions.
In fact, when he saw Jiuding in another room just now, there was a large amount of earth qi pouring into his body like a flood, and when he arrived in this room, the earth qi that had not been completely digested had increased a lot again, although his earth qi level had not been improved, but he could feel that the earth qi was obviously much thicker, and although he had not obtained new abilities, his inherent abilities had been improved in all aspects.
For example, the distance of perspective is farther, and the accuracy of microscopic inspection is higher, and it is estimated that the ability to investigate microscopic is not far from the best microscope in the world.
As for the wisdom eye and dragon phase, they have also been improved to a certain extent, and they have become more accurate.
Take the dragon phase as an example, it used to be very general, for example, the dragon phase of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are all adult real dragons, and it is more difficult to determine a dynasty specifically. However, it has become easier now, because although the dragon phase has not changed, an inscription has appeared on the dragon phase, and the specific dynasty of this thing can be clearly seen.
