Chapter 1120 Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
……
However, whether it is a musical instrument pavilion or a numismatic pavilion, it is nothing in front of the bronze pavilion!
Among them, the 'sheep head' and 'snake head' among the twelve beast heads of the Old Summer Palace, which can be called national treasures, as well as the genuine Xuande furnace, not to mention, a bronze hall alone is amazing enough!
"I said Liu Dong, where did you buy so many bronzes?"
Looking at the dazzling array of bronze exhibits in the exhibition hall, no less than 300 pieces, Hong Changshan, who was straightforward, was the first to ask.
In fact, it is no wonder that he is like this, bronzes are expressly forbidden in China and cannot be traded in the world. Although, this regulation is not too dead, and it can allow those bronzes that have been inherited in an orderly manner to circulate in the world. However, bronzes are not ancient paintings and calligraphy, and the words "inheritance and orderly" are difficult to define, so it has caused the scarcity of the number of pre-Qin bronzes in the antique market.
In addition, because the productive forces were not developed in the pre-Qin period, the production of bronzes was all in the hands of the aristocracy!
In addition to the collection of more than 10,000 pre-Qin bronzes in the Palace Museum, which brings together the essence of Chinese art, the China Bronze Museum, known as the hometown of bronzes, is only a collection of 1,500 bronzes!
Liu Dong's more than 300 bronzes are not many. However, the number of them has surpassed that of most public museums. It's a little unbelievable!
"Some of it is from Mr. Li's previous collection. Most of the rest were bought by me from abroad!" Liu Dong replied.
But what he didn't say was that there were about 100 of them that he took out of his collection of more than 3,000 bronzes of King Zhuang's treasures!
And it's the worst part of it!
Looking at Hong Lao and the rest of the people, the surprise on their faces that still hadn't disappeared, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that this time it is the right thing, if you take out a few hundred more bronzes from King Zhuang's treasure, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to explain!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
Because of the particularity of bronzes, King Zhuang's treasure is the most difficult treasure in Liu Dong's hands, and there is no one!
The reason why Liu Dong built this 'Old Summer Palace Museum' in advance when the construction of the Old Summer Palace Museum was about to begin. Eighty percent is because of the treasure of King Zhuang!
In addition to the giant bronze coffins of King and Queen Chuzhuang, as well as the Jingzhou Ding in the Kyushu Ding, second only to the bell of Zeng Hou Yi, the number of Zhuangwang bells as many as 64 pieces, as well as 26 inscription tripods and two bronze carriages, these are more eye-catching, and they are easy to attract a huge sensation in the world. Or even longer, slowly and little by little.
Of course. This 'take' is not directly put in the museum, but before that, I have to walk around from abroad and wash it away.
And the way of 'boiling frogs in warm water' is also the best way for Liu Dong to think of now, and the best way to solve the problem that the 'Treasure of King Zhuang' in his hand cannot be born.
As for the remaining more sensitive bronze coffins, Kyushu tripods and other bronzes, as well as the Qin Dynasty Jin people found in Sun Dianying's treasure, they can only slowly figure out a way!
"Sword of the Emperor - Chixiao!"
Hong Lao's exclamation not only made Liu Dong wake up from his thoughts, but also made the visitors who were originally scattered in the bronze exhibition hall 'hula' all gathered at once.
"Is it really the Red Sky Sword?"
"Didn't you say that this sword was long gone?"
Everyone talked about it.
The story of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who revolted with the Chixiao Sword and founded the Han Dynasty in 422 years, is almost well-known in China.
And the Chixiao Sword is also the sword of the Han Dynasty, especially the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty!
However, during the usurpation of Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the situation was chaotic, and this sword disappeared! As for whether it was buried or destroyed, future generations do not know!
But what I didn't expect was that after nearly two thousand years, I actually saw this sword again in Liu Dong's newly established private museum!
"Lao Hong, what do you think of this sword?" said Dong Lao frowned.
The influence of the sword of the royal road 'Chixiao' is self-evident, but after many years, even if Dong Lao knows Liu Dong's temperament very well and trusts him very much, but the prudence in appreciating treasures cultivated all year round is also reminding Dong Lao. That's why he asked one more question at this moment!
In fact, there is no need for Dong Lao to ask, when Hong Changshan saw the introduction card next to this sword, he had already focused all his attention on this simple long sword that was covered in tempered glass, supported by a crystal bracket and lying flat in the spotlight.
"I have seen 9 Wu Wangfu cha swords, and I have also carefully compared the Qin swords unearthed from the tomb of King Qin, from the material, craftsmanship, decoration and oxidation degree, there is no problem with this sword. Moreover, look at the spine of this sword, it is not the effect that a fake can make!"
Under the guidance of Hong Lao, everyone's eyes were invariably focused on the spine of the Chixiao Sword. I saw that under the bright spotlight, a red line as thin as a steel wire reached the tip of the sword from the gluttonous swallowing place! The red line was curved and curved, like a long snake! The color was as red as blood!
At first, the red line was discovered, but most thought it was the effect of the lights. Now I see that this red line is not floating on the surface of the sword, as if it is growing inside, and more importantly, the surrounding lights are white, not red!
"According to Guo Zifei's "Baoyue Zhai Miscellaneous Records" in the Western Han Dynasty, Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang was drunk and killed the white snake in Mangdang Mountain, and the white emperor was unwilling to die in the hands of the emperor.
Although most of these records are not very true, and can even be called legends, the legends are based on a little reality, and the records in Guo Zifei's "Baoyue Zhai Miscellaneous Records" during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (a subordinate official under the command of Taichang, one of the nine Qings of the Han Dynasty, who was in charge of the blessings and prayers of ghosts and gods) must have a certain authenticity!
Obviously, the red traces in the middle of the Chixiao Sword shaped like a long snake are the spirit of the White Emperor in "Baoyue Zhai Miscellaneous"!
"That's right now, this sword is really the emperor's sword from the Han Dynasty - 'Chixiao'!" Dong Lao made the final conclusion.
And now after listening to the explanations and appraisals of Hong Lao and Qi Lao, the people around him have no doubts!
"I didn't expect Liu Dong to have a national treasure-level genuine product like the Chixiao Sword here, it's really surprising!" Hong Changshan sighed with a hint of envy.
However, hearing this, Liu Dong didn't say much!
A Chixiao sword is not all of Liu Dong's, the sword of courage - 'fish intestines', the sword of love - 'cadre Mo Xie', the thousand-year-old sword - 'Qi Sword', and the peerless sword - 'White Deer', all of which are in Liu Dong's hands! Each one is a national treasure among national treasures, but it is precisely because it is too precious that Liu Dong does not dare to take it all out!
"What's the accident? Look at the pavilions in front of you, if there aren't a few weighty treasures in the Bronze Pavilion, it would be strange!"
"What Lao Dong said is that Liu Dong, this kid is really an outlier! The old man has lived a long time, and it is the first time that a person like him who is young but has so many good things in his hands has seen it! Ninety years old, he really lives to a dog!" Hong Lao laughed at himself slightly.
"Okay, you old guy really lacks a door in his mouth! You say this, and you will live me and Lao Qi to a dog?"
Looking at Dong Lao's expression of blowing his beard and glaring, Qi Lao couldn't help but shake his head, and regardless of the two old friends' jokes with each other, he walked straight to Liu Dong's side and led him towards the other exhibition rooms.
Seeing that the time is getting less and less, and the sky outside is almost dark, Qi Lao is still more willing to hurry up and take a look at Liu Dong's collection here than to quarrel!
"Well, wait for us!"
As soon as they saw the two leaving, Dong Lao and Hong Changshan immediately stopped the old child-like confrontation and hurriedly chased after them.
Because it was getting late, everyone didn't have time to look at the previous exhibition areas in such detail, and most of them just took a look or two at the most precious collections in the various exhibition halls of the miscellaneous war zone and left.
So, when it was just dark, everyone came to the ninth floor, which is also the last exhibition area on the left floor of the Twin Towers, and the most of them are jade!
But it's not all jade in this level!
"So many people?"
Just when Liu Dong took Hong Lao and them up on the elevator, he was taken aback when he saw the slightly dense flow of people on the ninth floor!
In the past, when they browsed the various exhibition areas and pavilions on the other seven floors, they could often meet visitors coming and going, but the number was not very large. But when it came to the ninth floor, it completely changed, and the bustling flow of people looked like they wanted to catch the market.
"Liu Dong, what are you collecting here? It won't be all national treasures, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Elder Hong, there are so many national treasures! This ninth layer is full of jade, as for why there are so many people, I don't know very well!"
Liu Dong is indeed a little inexplicable.
However, it didn't take long for Liu Dong to understand.
"Liu Dong, I didn't expect you to have so many good things here?" Just when Liu Dong had just finished answering Hong Lao's question, Li Yuncong ran over with Zhuang Wen, who was even more excited than him, with an excited face.
