"The thousand-year-old imperial capital, the holy city of China, the source of civilization, and the middle of the world. The starting point of the Silk Road, the center of the canal, the capital of peony flowers, and the city of mountains and rivers. Three generations of creation, the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Song family ......"

At this moment, Guan Yang whispered with emotion: "Between Lihe and Luo, living in the middle of the world, it not only has the majestic atmosphere of the Central Plains, but also has the charming and charming quality of the southern water town. After the opening of the world, since the three emperors and five emperors, Luoyang has become the envy of heaven and man with its great beauty of heaven and earth. ”

"Smack!"

Wang Guan clapped his hands and sighed with face: "It's a good article of Luoyang Shendufu, I never knew that Brother Guan's writing was so good." ”

"Ahem!"

No matter how thick-skinned Guan Yang was, he didn't dare to take other people's city propaganda words as his own, and after nodding vaguely, he immediately changed the topic: "Proprietor Wang, how is the situation of Third Brother Cao now?" ”

"Very good, we have talked about a few big business, and the commission money alone is enough for him to buy a house in the capital." Wang Guan chuckled and said, "Don't you usually contact him?" ”

"Uh...... I've been a bit busy lately. Guan Yang smiled embarrassedly, and then reacted, wasn't he playing at his bottom, why was he trapped?

Just when Guan Yang was alert, He Lao Liu also returned to the hall, still carrying a small suitcase in his hand. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on the suitcase, and their faces were full of curiosity.

Curiosity is human nature, and no one can avoid it.

Seeing everyone's eyes, He Lao Liu was also a little proud, and immediately put the small suitcase on the table next to him, and then slowly untied the small password lock in the box, and deliberately rubbed for a moment before opening the box.

In an instant, everyone's eyes gathered in the box, but there were not many things in the box. It's just three or five pieces. However, the shape of each thing is more peculiar, or it is not a common thing for everyone.

At first glance, everyone was a little surprised. Because the contents of the box are bronze utensils that the state prohibits the sale of.

Of course, it is definitely not a large thing such as a bronze tripod, it is a national treasure, even if He Laoliu has the courage to dare to take it up, it is absolutely impossible to take it out in front of Wang Guan and a few strangers. In fact, these are relatively small objects, neatly arranged in the box, which is still very eye-catching.

A digression here, too. Despite state regulations, bronzes are prohibited from circulating in the market. But in recent years, some auction houses have also put bronzes up for auction, but they don't dare to hype it up. Treasures such as Dingzun must not dare to be auctioned, but gadgets such as jue, pots, goblets, and getou are carefully auctioned.

Not only small auction houses have such a situation, but even big auction houses occasionally do it, in fact, this is a side game. By the way, test the country's bottom line for this kind of thing. As for the people, it is even more difficult to supervise in place. After all, people are trading privately, and the people don't raise it, and the officials don't hold it accountable. Don't worry about it.

Therefore, He Lao Liu now took out a few bronzes, and everyone was just surprised, not surprised.

"If you're interested. You can come and have a look. ”

At this time, under the greeting of He Lao Liu, others also came over to look at these bronzes with great interest. Among them, Yu Feibai was the most unkind. Pick up a bronze jue and look at it.

Jue, in the beginning, it was a container for drinking in ancient times. Generally speaking, only nobles are qualified to use knights for banquets, so over time, everyone calls the title of nobleman a knighthood. And from the title, you can know how precious the ancient Jue is, which belongs to a kind of bronze ritual vessel, and the meaning is extraordinary.

However, after the Qin and Han dynasties, due to the development of ceramic technology, emperors and generals, dignitaries, and cloth cloth people obviously appreciated the containers made of ceramics more, and the bronze jue slowly disappeared in people's daily life.

Of course, it does not mean that Jue has withdrawn from the stage of history since then.

In fact, at least before the Qing Dynasty, there was still the existence of Jue. It's just that this kind of jue is no longer a practical utensil, but has evolved into a pure ritual vessel. When the court sacrifices, there will generally be a few lords to offer wine to the sky, which is the ancient ritual followed by the feudal dynasty, until the establishment of New China, which was completely abolished.

Anyway, as far as Wang Guan knows, the emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties still appreciate things like cups, at least the emperors of the Qing Dynasty asked craftsmen to copy many exquisite artifacts in antique. There are such genuine products that have been handed down, and the price in the market is not low, and it has always been the target of competition among local tyrants and giants.

However, the artifact that Yu Feibai is picking up and viewing now is obviously something from before the pre-Qin period. Needless to say, the shape is full of ancient atmosphere, with three pointed feet, a round belly in the middle, and a small boat shape at the upper end, one pointed and one wide. The pointed end is to pour wine, and the wide head is to drink. The small structure shows the ingenuity of the ancients to the fullest.

At least for the people who used the round cup, such a delicate Gujue cup is the real drinking container. Drinking with such things can not only be nostalgic for the past, but more importantly, satisfy everyone's curiosity.

That's right, to put it bluntly, it's curiosity.

In fact, if you think about it, you should also understand that the ancient container has been passed down to the present, and that is a process of development. If something is not suitable, then in the process of circulation, it will definitely be eliminated. This is the historical choice of the big waves, and the cup and pot supplies that are now presented in front of everyone's eyes may not be the most beautiful and exquisite, but they are certainly the most convenient and practical items.

Therefore, ancient objects can be used as collectibles, ornamental objects, and even gifts, but it is absolutely impossible to appear on the stage of history again. This is an irreversible trend, and no one can change it. To put it mildly, if there is really a recurring phenomenon, then it has been repeated for more than 2,000 years, so why wait until now.

"It looks like it was freshly dug up."

At this time, Yu Feibai looked at it for a moment, put down the artifact casually, and then leaned over to Wang Guan and whispered: "Although there is not much earth, there is still a fresh earthy smell." ”

"Really?"

Wang Guan smiled and said in a low voice: "It may not be as you think." ”

"Huh?"

When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I mean, if you think it's something newly dug up, then it's probably true. Aren't you worried that it was buried a few years ago and now it's just being dug up again? Wang Guan reminded that it is also a more common means of counterfeiting in the market now.

Some of the masters of making fakes, they are very patient, bury a batch of things in the ground every six months, and then wait for two or three years before digging them out. That's it, digging a batch and burying a batch, an assembly line factory has been formed.

"Don't you think his courtyard is a little bigger?" Wang Guan smiled slightly: "When I walked in just now, I noticed that the dirt in the corner seemed to have traces of turning......

In an instant, Yu Feibai's expression changed, and he couldn't help but scold: "Damn counterfeiters." ”

Of course, although it is scolding, Yu Feibai will not scold very loudly, and it still belongs to the category of whispering, but the anger in it is very obvious. However, whether it is angry with He Lao Liu's fraud or angry at himself, that's two words.

"It's not necessarily all fakes."

At the same time, Wang Guan muttered: "At least that bronze head looks like it's genuine." ”

"Cut, like this kind of spearhead, Ge head, spearhead or something, there are too many unearthed, and it's not worth much at all." Yu Feibai was dismissive. No matter how good the appearance is, even if there is an inscription, it will be twenty or thirty thousand at most, and he will definitely not take this little money in his eyes.

"How's that chime?"

Tang Qinghua, who was next to him, also heard the whispers of the two, suddenly pointed to an item in the box, and asked softly: "The thing should be a chime, I have seen something similar in the Palace Museum." ”

The two of them looked at it and immediately nodded slightly, confirming that it was a chime.

Chimes are also a kind of pre-Qin ritual vessels, in ancient times ritual and music were not separated, in the words of Confucius, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the dark and troubled era of ritual collapse and happiness. Between the princes, there were almost daily conquests, and there was no moment of peace.

However, it cannot be denied that in this special period of the collapse of ritual music, the talents of the stars are like springs, bursting out all at once. The words and deeds of these military strategists, politicians, thinkers, and writers have influenced China for two or three thousand years, and it is estimated that they will continue to influence until the Chinese civilization dies out.

To put it mildly, the source and foundation of Chinese civilization was gradually formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Talents emerge in troubled times, and all kinds of good and bad ideas have collided fiercely between countries and people, which not only sparked brilliant sparks, but also blended with each other, laying the mainstream cultural values of the Chinese nation for thousands of years in one fell swoop.

Far away, the bronze chimes are also very precious things anyway, and the most famous one is definitely the Zeng Hou Yi chime. After all, compared with other single unearthed bells, Zeng Hou Yi chimes are a complete set, and they are very well preserved, and the rhythm is very complete, so they are naturally regarded as rare treasures by the world.

Relatively speaking, this chime is a bit shabby at the moment. The oblate bell is covered with patina inside and out, which is very mottled and not in good condition.

At the right time, He Lao Liu also saw that the three of them were arguing about the chime, and immediately took out the things alone, and said with a smile: "This is the bell of the Warring States Period, you see that there are still words on it." ”

Inscriptions on bronzes, commonly known as gold inscriptions, are of great research value. The two things are of comparable quality, and it is certain that the bronze with the word will definitely be higher in price than the one without the word. As for the content of Jin Wen, there are no more than a few. Honors for ancestors, honorable merit awards, covenants of princes, dowries of concubines, and prayers for blessings from heaven for longevity.

Of course, the most basic thing is to supervise the name of the government and the craftsmen. It's a pity that a few people don't know much about the pre-Qin writing, and no matter how they look at it, they can't make out what the words on the chime mean.

"Just two or three words."

Yu Feibai speculated: "Maybe it's the name of the craftsman, or it's the name of the princes......" (to be continued......)
