Mo Xie came back to his senses suddenly, only to find that Zhang Tianyuan and Lao Yu's shopkeeper were gone, and it turned out that there was a back door in the office, so you could go out directly, and then enter the café through the back door of the guò antique shop.

"That young man is your boss? You look young, do you know antiques? Mo Ye's expression quickly returned to normal, and he talked to Qin Feixue like an ordinary middle-aged man.

He is dressed very elegantly, not at all like a tomb robber, let alone a wrongdoer, but looks like a cultured person, and always has a faint smile on his face, which is easy to make people feel good.

As for what Zhang Tianyuan said before, it was just nonsense, mainly to prevaricate the problem of the old shopkeeper.

In fact, Mo Ye's appearance is very sunny, just like a big boy, no matter who it is, he can't associate such a face with the third uncle of the great tomb robber.

"What do you say? He is the chairman of our HRE Group, and there are many antique shops under his hands, by the way, someone recently acquired the museum base to set up a museum, you know, that is our boss's big deal, just your little fight, compared to him is far worse, okay, for your safety, you go around here now, and then go over later, by the way, what about your things? Why didn't you see it? Qin Feixue asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, of course I brought the things, but I have to find someone who knows the goods before I can take them out, little girl, you better go and get busy, I'll go over in a while." Mo Xie smiled, and then wandered around the antique shop.

About five or six minutes later, Mo Xie made a phone call and chatted a few words. Under Qin Feixue's guidance, Tong Guò walked out of the back door. In the café.

"Two, under the surname of the master. There are indeed a few ancestral gadgets in his hand that he wants to exchange for the bloodstone seal......

Surname?

Why is my surname still sir!

Zhang Tianyuan scolded directly in his heart, this grandson was like taking advantage of him as soon as he came up.

In fact, he really wronged Mo Xie, this guy didn't want to expose his real name, so he wanted to pronounce the name backwards, but the surname became evil (Ye).

Zhang Tianyuan didn't have time to be angry with him, so he took a closer look at Mo Ye at this time, his appearance was very ordinary, and to put it bluntly, he was a public face. The kind that can't be found in the pile, but there is a shrewdness in the eyes, this guy is not tall, only about one meter seven, but the body is relatively thin, it should be said that the tomb robbery is still passing, generally speaking, the tomb robber should be short and concise more convenient, because the robbery hole is easy to enter.

Mo Ye didn't look like someone in his thirties at all. He looks like he's in his twenties, so many people mistake him for a college student when they see him for the first time.

This guy was carrying a backpack, the kind of bag that Zhang Tianyuan had carried when he was in college before. Coupled with a pair of glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, he looks even more like a student. However, Zhang Tianyuan was sure that the glasses on the bridge of his nose should only be flat glasses. Rather than myopia.

"Let's not talk nonsense, you have a cup of coffee first. I'll take a look at the object you said...... "Zhang Tianyuan didn't call Mo Xie, that surname. The devil will scream.

"Of course, but the boss should be careful, the thing is a treasure handed down from the ancestors, I heard that it is very valuable, but I have always been reluctant to sell, this time for the bloodstone seal, I took it out." Mo Xie nodded, then unbuttoned his clothes, and actually took out a paper bag held by kraft paper from his close-fitting clothes, and gently put it on the table.

This guy carried a bag, but he didn't put anything in the bag, but put the thing in the kraft paper and held it closely, there seemed to be a special layer of interlayer in the kraft paper, what shocked Zhang Tianyuan was that this thing could isolate his perspective function, it is estimated that whether it is the inspection of the train station or the airport, it can be fooled.

When the tightly wrapped kraft paper and the special material were opened, two bronze mirrors were revealed.

These two bronze mirrors are small bronze mirrors, the size is only about seven or eight centimeters, but the shape is more interesting, it is not the traditional circle, but the diamond flower shape and chicken heart shape, the shape of the two bronze mirrors is not the same, but the size is basically the same. There are very exquisite carvings on the back, but because it is a raw pit goods, many places have been covered with patina, and it is impossible to fully see the original exquisite pattern of the copper mirror, and even there are some changes in the shape.

Both things, although they are very small, are very delicate, and I believe that if they are matured, their exquisite artistic value will be fully revealed. Zhang Tianyuan is completely sure that these two bronze mirrors should be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Because the characteristics of these two bronze mirrors only appeared in that era, and there is nothing similar in other eras.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were also delicate and exquisite bronze mirrors with empty patterns. This kind of copper mirror adopts the method of separate casting, and the mirror surface and mirror back decoration are cast separately and then clamped together. This kind of composite bronze mirror has basically disappeared since the Warring States period. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the palace office processed the front of the ancient mirror collected in the palace to achieve the effect of re-identification. Some of the ancient mirrors are compounded, recasting a mirror, grinding it, and then sticking to the front of the ancient mirror. Of course, this kind of compound mirror is still very different from the compound mirror of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In other words, these two bronze mirrors are actually a kind of bronze mirrors that have disappeared in history, which is a rare thing.

Bronze mirror is an ancient Han handicraft, made of bronze. According to historical records, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the ancients used bronze polishing to make mirrors, which were bright and illuminating, and the back was carved with exquisite ornamentation. By the time of the Warring States period, it was already very popular, and it was even more exquisite in the Han and Tang dynasties.

The size of ancient Chinese bronze mirrors varied greatly, but they can be roughly divided into three categories: large, medium and small. The size of small copper mirrors is generally 3 cm ~ 8 cm, they are small and thin, tied around the waist with a rope, and carried around. The size of medium-sized copper mirrors is 10 cm ~ 39.4 cm, they are thick and exquisite, they are hung on the wall or placed on the mirror table when used, and there are exquisite mirrors to store after use.

The Jin Dynasty painter Gu Kaizhi has a detailed depiction of the use of bronze mirrors in his famous "Female Historical Portrait": a man sits on the left side of the painting, facing a mirror platform, and a woman in the back combs his hair with a comb. There is also a man on the right, tilting his head slightly, in front of another mirror, in which his face is reflected. The mirror table in the painting is floor-to-ceiling, the strut is inserted into the mirror button, and there is still a tray in the middle of the mirror table. There are mirrors and other objects placed next to the figures.

Although the two bronze mirrors in Zhang Tianyuan's hands are a little smaller, although the sparrows are small, they are complete, and more importantly, they belong to the special bronze mirrors that were considered extinct during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In addition, there is such a thing as a bronze mirror, which was both a practical thing and a work of art in ancient times.

In modern times, it is definitely the crystallization of art.

There are many kinds of ornamental carving techniques on the bronze mirror, whether it is line carving, flat carving, relief carving, round carving, and air carving, all of which are very delicate and vivid.

The content of the ornamentation is even more colorful, from geometric ornamentation to birds and flowers, from myths and legends to realistic patterns, heavenly. In the world, people and gods are mixed, animals and plants, intertwined and juxtaposed, cleverly conceived and all-encompassing.

In the early years, Shao. The Han Dynasty "Wu Zixu Portrait Mirror" unearthed and now stored in the Shangpu Museum is an excellent work, and the four breasts on the back of the mirror are divided into four areas to surround the configuration pattern. The first group has the inscription "Yue Wang" and "Fan Li", the two sit on the ground, talk to each other, and Fan Du is making suggestions, so that Yue Wang Gou can make a beauty plan; The second group is the two daughters in long skirts, with the inscription "Jade Girl Duo", and the king of Yue bribes Wu Dazai Bo Yao (sound pi) with two jade girls; The third group casts the inscription "King Wu", King Wu sits in the curtain tent, his left hand is slightly raised, and the king of Wu listens to Dazai's slander and decides to give Wu Zixu to death; In the fourth group, one person raised his eyebrows angrily, glared and gritted his teeth, held a long sword under his neck, and cast the inscription "Loyal Minister Wu Zixu", and Wu Zixu was forced to kill himself.

The whole pattern adopts the relief technique, the form is vivid, vivid, and the generalization is very strong.

As early as the Shang Dynasty, craftsmen had mastered the process of inlaying red copper in order to enhance the decorative effect of bronzes. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the wrong gold and silver, inlaid red copper, inlaid turquoise and other techniques in metal fine processing were more exquisite, and the silk or sheet of red copper, gold and silver and turquoise were embedded in the utensils and inlaid into different ornaments and patterns. Many of these bronze mirrors have been unearthed.

The "inlaid turquoise transparent square mirror" unearthed in Fuling, Jinchuan Province, the back of the mirror is four-shaped, and the body is buried with scales and delicate short lines, and the turquoise is filled between the lines. Luoyang Jincun unearthed "gold and silver wrong dragon pattern mirror", there are six dragons entwined between the button base and the edge, and the dragon body has a "gold and silver wrong" pattern. The edge is a cross swirl band. The embedded filigree is as thin as a hair, and the craftsmanship is extremely delicate.

It is not only a beautiful work of craftsmanship, but also expresses the meaning of prayer with artistic ornamentation.

In short, the ancient mirror casting craftsmen, in the long-term production, continue to accumulate the experience of casting copper mirrors, so that the skills have reached a skilled level. They used their wisdom and talent to create a lot of exquisite bronze mirrors, so that today's people can not help but admire the splendid bronze mirror culture of ancient times when they appreciate and study these exquisite works of art.

Because of this, Zhang Tianyuan's interest in collecting bronze mirrors is very strong.

At this time, Zhang Tianyuan, wearing a pair of white dust-proof gloves on his hands, gently stroked the bronze mirror, and the earth qi slowly seeped out from his hands, wandering in the bronze mirror, and at the same time, the word recognition trick was also opened, although he had judged the age and authenticity of the two bronze mirrors through his own knowledge, but the word appreciation trick still had to be used to confirm it, after all, the counterfeiter's technology was too good in these years, and Zhang Tianyuan was afraid that he would lose his eyes.

After a while, he had confirmed that the two bronze mirrors were definitely genuine, and he also found that the exquisite hollow carvings under those patinas were suddenly impossible to make such exquisite things today.

Nowadays, although the practical value of this thing is gone, the artistic value is more important than in the past. (To be continued......)
