Chapter 1877 The Banana Leaf Pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty

Zhang Tianyuan told everyone what he thought in his heart, and everyone couldn't help but gasp, this thing sounded a little alarmist, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable, this kind of thing is really not careless, and if you are careless, it is likely that there will be big problems.

Even the police and Zhong Dingwen's company can't take the silkworm lady, can it be an ordinary person, in the face of such an opponent, if you are not careful, it will definitely not work.

"But this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?" Ren Sili scratched his head, there was really no way.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and took out something from the backpack he was carrying, it should be a bronze vessel, but Ren Sili and Bai Teng obviously couldn't see what it was.

Only Tang Sheng exclaimed: "This is the banana leaf pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty!" ”

It is a drinking vessel, sometimes used as a ritual vessel, somewhat similar to the modern glass goblet.

It was prevalent in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and its role was equivalent to that of a wine glass.

The shape is a round slender body, a flared mouth, an extravagant mouth, a thin waist, and a circle-footed outward. There is often a convex section of the lower abdomen of the grasping body, which is decorated with two ridges near the foot of the circle. In the early and middle Shang period, the body of the goose was relatively thick and short, and there was a "ten" hole in the circle foot.

From the late Shang period to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the body was slender, the middle waist was thinner, the mouth edge and the circle foot were more extensive, and there was no "ten" hole on the circle foot. During this period, the carcass of the goose was thick and heavy, and the body was often decorated with silkworm patterns, gluttony, banana leaves and other ornaments. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the muscles gradually disappeared.

As soon as the green banana leaf pattern was taken out, it immediately added a bit of ancient atmosphere to this modern room.

"How can you have the banana leaf pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty!" Ren Sili knows a little bit about bronzes, so he naturally understands what this banana leaf pattern represents.

To know. This is a bronze national treasure unearthed in Zhang Tianyuan's hometown of Shaanzhou, and there were other things unearthed at that time. Everything is a fine product.

Since Ren Sili likes bronze so much, there's no reason why he hasn't heard of it.

"Is this thing powerful?" Bai Teng didn't seem to understand why Ren Sili was so excited.

Ren Sili shook his head and said, "Alas. It's really unlearned, although you are a person from the Jade Hall, you should always know a little about the Bronze Hall, you know, this thing is a national treasure unearthed in Shaanzhou, a national first-class protected cultural relic, this thing is generally registered by the museum, and then collected. ”

Hearing this, Bai Teng understood. Such a valuable thing, the state is absolutely strict and privately traded, Zhang Tianyuan actually took this out, looking at the meaning, most of them wanted to exchange the bronze hidden sword with the silkworm lady that day.

"But this kind of national treasure, if you exchange it, isn't it easier to make the silkworm lady suspicious than money?" White vine raised his own questions.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "You really think I'm not afraid of breaking the law, this thing is an imitation." That day, the silkworm lady thought very highly of herself, do you think, if I took such a high-quality imitation to exchange with her, could she not change it. If nothing else, even if it's just to crack this imitation technique, I don't think she will be unmoved. ”

"It can't be! This thing is obviously the real thing! ”

When Zhang Tianyuan put the banana leaf pattern on the table. Tang Sheng had already begun to carefully inspect it, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt. Because whether this thing is ornamentation, jue system, pulp or patina, it is obviously the characteristics that the real banana leaf pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty should have.

Tang Sheng asked himself what he knew about bronzes. It is definitely not lost to most of the bronze experts in China, so she thinks this thing is genuine, but suddenly hearing Zhang Tianyuan say this, it makes her stunned.

"I also think this is genuine, I've heard that the new rust made of chemical reagents is not strong, and it can be easily picked off, but I just tried it, and the patina on it can't be picked at all, which is clearly the result of thousands of years of corrosion accumulation, how can it be a fake!" Ren Sili also looked at Zhang Tianyuan in puzzlement, which really made him unable to accept it.

"Don't worry, take a closer look, I said, this thing is a fake, that is a fake, don't be afraid of me to open your eyes, because when this thing was made, I was watching from the sidelines."

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan was sure that this was a fake, because this thing itself was made when he was in the imperial capital, how could he not know?

"Okay, I'll take a closer look!"

Tang Sheng gritted his teeth, if Zhang Tianyuan said so, then it must be a fake, since it is a fake, then there should be a flawed guess, it stands to reason that the bronzes of Shang and Zhou are all cast with many pieces of clay inside and outside, and it is impossible for the fan to fit tightly between the fan, there will always be a small gap. When copper juice invades these crevices during casting, it will form stubble on the surface of the utensils. These stubbles, also known as fan marks, are inconspicuous and easy to ignore, but in the eyes of connoisseurs, they are one of the signs to distinguish the real from the fake.

But soon, Tang Sheng gave up, because this banana leaf pattern was exactly the same as even this point, without the slightest difference, anyway, in her eyes, she would definitely not be able to see it.

After that, she weighed the weight again, because fake bronzes are generally heavier, and real bronzes will be lighter after thousands of years of rust, but unfortunately this trick also failed.

Not only that, she used dozens of methods in a row to identify and use everything she had learned in her life, but unfortunately, she finally returned home.

"Cousin, are you sure this thing is really a fake, although I can't say that I am the best bronze expert in the world, but I am more confident than most people, but no matter which method is used, I can't identify that this is a fake, to put it mildly, once this thing is unveiled, I'm afraid many bronze experts will be dumbfounded."

"It's not just dumbfounded, I think I can buy a piece of tofu and die directly!" Ren Sili added: "Unless there is new technology, I don't believe anyone can identify this as a fake."

"I must reiterate that this is a fake, and it couldn't be newer, because it hasn't been made for more than three days." Zhang Tianyuan smiled.

Tang Sheng was completely out of temper, knowing that this thing was a fake, but he couldn't find any evidence, it was like a pervert who saw a peerless beauty, but couldn't touch it, it was really tiring.

"Who made this banana leaf pattern? If possible, I really want to meet this master, this level has reached such a level, I'm afraid that even the silkworm lady will definitely not be able to compare with it. Although the level of the silkworm lady is high, there will still be flaws after all, but this banana leaf pattern is not flawed at all, which is really amazing. Tang Sheng sighed and asked a little expectantly.

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "It's a master, but I can't tell you his name, this person has long stopped doing this kind of thing, he has his own principles of being a man, although he is highly skilled, but he has never cheated a penny with a fake, this time I went to ask him, and he agreed to help me." ”
