PS: Before you know it, it's the end of the month again, and book friends who have a monthly pass can vote, don't stay any longer, ask for support.

After listening to Qian Lao's comments, Wang Guan and Pi Qiu nodded in unison. After all, the Gongbu sword has been in hand for a while, and the two of them have studied and played with it, so they naturally also noticed the characteristics of the blade texture.

"You should also know that our human eyesight is limited, and the touch sense of our fingers is not the most sensitive, even if you feel that the sword body is extremely smooth, it does not actually mean that the sword body is absolutely smooth." Qian Lao continued to analyze: "The texture of the sword body is fine and extremely similar, so it has continuity......

In an instant, Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi suddenly realized that they completely understood what Qian Lao meant. Water is a liquid that has no root or source, and it must be attached to a certain thing in order to exist, or to be seen.

The water, which already has attachment power, encounters a relatively balanced and stable sword body texture, then it presents the effect that one plus one is greater than two. And because the texture has the characteristics of continuity, coupled with the refraction principle of water ripples, it naturally gives people the illusion of continuous water flow.

Of course, although there are some things that seem to be unworthy of mention, however, they do not include the Gongbu sword. After all, only those who know something about the situation of Chinese weapons naturally understand how precious it is to have this kind of peak sword-casting technology more than 2,000 years ago.

In contrast, not only does the modern sword-forging technology not have any progress and development, but it is necessary to obediently pick up the craftsmanship handed down by the ancestors one or two thousand years ago, and slowly explore and study in order to create a good weapon. Isn't it a shame to go back 2,000 years if you just stand still?

Wang Guan hopes that when appreciating ancient Chinese weapons, some people will be ashamed and move forward, instead of being complacent just because they have such technology in ancient times......

"Old money."

Meanwhile. Pi Qiushi humbly asked: "You said that flowing water forging is only relatively advanced than group fighting, so is there a more powerful technology than flowing water technology?" ”

"Yes, definitely."

Qian Lao smiled slightly, and also had a little longing: "But you must also know that the flowing water forging process itself is a very advanced technology, so a more advanced process has great chance, and it is impossible to copy a large number of successful skills." ”

Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi glanced at each other and nodded in understanding.

Just like a master's calligraphy and painting works, he usually creates seriously, and calligraphy and painting must have a very high level. But one day, his inspiration exploded. With a splash of ink, a work was completed in one go.

This work is definitely full of spirituality, the result of super-level play, if you want the master to come step by step again, he will definitely not come, even if he is reluctant to do it, there is no spirituality.

This situation is the so-called accidentality, that is, the true meaning of the article is natural, and the magic hand is accidental.

The same is true of the ancient swordsmiths, who must have forged countless swords in their lifetimes. The great master Ou Yezi is okay, he must have mastered certain skills and regularity, so he forged a lot of famous swords that have been handed down to future generations. But others can't, and it's good to have a peak masterpiece in a lifetime. It is also enough for them to leave a name in history and be remembered by the world.

"The deepest casting technique is called rotary welding!"

At this time, Qian Lao continued to explain: "Rotary welding is a modern word. It is a general name. The pattern of rotary welding is not fixed, it can be like a feather, like a fish intestine, like a chrysanthemum, like a ladder, and so on. ”

"Rotary welding is also a type of folding forging. But the forging texture it presents is very regular, and the pattern presented is gorgeous, which is very appreciative of the beauty. Speaking of the flowing water pattern effect of the Gongbu sword, it is actually almost the same as rotary welding. ”

Between the words, Qian Lao was also a little helpless: "Of course, if you insist on asking me what is the difference between these two processes, I really can't answer." Even modern experts and scholars who study cold weapons are estimated to be covered by clouds and fog, and can only give a relatively general answer. ”

Wang Guan thought about it, but he also understood what Qian Lao meant, after all, ancient weapons did not form a systematic discipline in the first place, and the physical objects that have been handed down are even rarer. Today's scholars can only look at the literature and then explain the differences between various crafts according to their own understanding. During the period, it was inevitable that private goods were entrained, and naturally there were different opinions and no unified opinions.

"You don't have to worry so much, anyway, you just know that it's a good sword." Wang Guan said with a smile, he is just a collector, not a scholar who specializes in cold weapons, so he doesn't need to know so thoroughly.

"Of course it's best if you think like that." Qian Lao said with a smile and continued to appreciate the Gongbu sword.

At this time, the water was also boiled, and Wang Guan made tea with his hands. Taking out the tea leaves from the box next to him, he found that Qian Lao had changed the tea leaves again, judging from the shape and color of the tea, this should be Xinyang Maojian.

Qian Lao must be more partial to Lushan clouds, but the tea leaves for hospitality are often replaced, Wang Guan has been surprised by this, with a clip to take some tea leaves into the pot, and then with hot boiling water to wash, an instant burst of fragrant mist will be emitted. The bright emerald tea leaves float in the water, giving people a green feeling.

"Old Qian, drink tea!"

After distributing tea to everyone, Wang Guan himself also took a cup, took a sip gently, and immediately felt that the fresh breath was very strong, and the discomfort caused by the travel between the two places also disappeared.

At this time, Qian Lao also took the opportunity to put the Gongbu sword back into the sword box, and also gently raised his glass to take a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "That Tang Houxing from the picture, didn't you take a picture?" ”

"Don't mention it, I can't afford to shoot it." Wang Guan shook his head and sighed: "After going to the auction house, I realized that there are so many rich people, and there are only 1,500 euros of things, and they actually coaxed it to 3.75 million euros, which is simply not to treat money as money." ”

"It's normal."

Qian Lao estimated it and said calmly: "It's only more than 30 million, and the price is relatively normal." Speaking of which, it is also because you have the mind to pick and choose, and finally find that there is no leakage to choose, so you feel very expensive. ”

"Maybe."

Wang Guan smiled embarrassedly, and then said with some regret: "But it's a pity that the color of the picture is very dull, far from being as bright as the imitations in the Forbidden City." However, considering that after more than 1,000 years of wind and rain, it is very rare that the picture has not been destroyed, so I will no longer do other luxuries. ”

"That's why it is said that cultural relics need to be carefully cared for, otherwise every time it changes hands, it will be a toss." Qian Lao nodded and said: "It's a lot of tossing, even the iron shelves will be loose, not to mention the calligraphy and painting works of silk paper." ”

Wang Guan thinks so, but some things are not transferred by personal wishes, and there are always times when there are irresistible external factors, and there is no way.

In fact, the inheritance of antiquities is also a process of big waves and accidents. Everyone understands the truth of the big waves and sand, and there is naturally gold left in the end. After all, only good things will be treasured, and bad things are often easy to destroy if they are not taken seriously, but they are not distressed.

Of course, sometimes it is very precious, but due to the ignorance of the ancients, they feel that since the rare treasures are their favorite in life, it is natural to be buried with them after death. So many treasures were buried, and there was no more news, which was equivalent to being lost.

The most famous example is the Lan Tingxu, some people say that it is buried in the imperial tomb of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and some people say that it is Wu Zetian's funeral goods, anyway, there is no conclusion until now.

But it's okay to have something like Lan Tingxu, at least everyone has a thought. After all, with the habit of Chinese people preferring to dig people's graves, whether it is Emperor Taizong of Tang or Wu Zetian, their mausoleums will not escape the poisonous hands of the relevant departments sooner or later, so the authentic works of Lan Tingxu will eventually see the light of day again.

However, compared with the burial, there was an even more hateful custom in ancient times - burial!

For example, the Fuchun Mountain Residence Map, which is a famous painting and calligraphy of the Yuan Dynasty Huang Gongwang, can be called the crown of Huang Gongwang's paintings, and it is also the work of his creative skills to reach the peak state. It took several years to integrate his life's savings and life insights into the creation of this work.

After the painting is completed, it can be called a divine product and is worshiped by future generations. In just a few hundred years, this work has been collected by many literati and celebrities, during which there are famous artists such as Shen Zhou and Dong Qichang.

In a blink of an eye, the Ming Dynasty was finished, and then in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, this painting fell into the hands of the collector Wu Hongyu. However, when he was dying, he was so mad that he wanted to burn the picture of Fuchun Mountain for burial.

On the first day, the original thousand-character text of the monk Zhiyong was burned, and the second day was burned......

When he first saw this allusion, Wang Guanhate couldn't go back directly, kicked the man to death, and then snatched the Fuchun Mountain residence map and ran away. It's a pity that history has no ifs, and the Fuchun Mountain Jutu is still burned.

However, fortunately, Wu Hongyu is old and confused, and there are still people who understand among his younger generations, and they rescued the famous paintings by stealing beams and replacing pillars. But after all, the picture was burned, so it was naturally damaged, and since then it has been divided into two, and now it is separated from two places, half of which remains in the Hangzhou Museum, and the other half is in the National Palace in Taipei.

All kinds of things here naturally make people sigh very much.

Of course, these are also digressions, at this time, Qian Lao asked some details of Tang Houxing's diagram, and explained Wang Guan again, and then smiled: "You have stayed in Hong Kong for so long, did you just get a Gongbu sword?" I've heard that you seem to have another national treasure. ”

"Hmm!"

Wang Guan suddenly looked vigilant: "Curator Wang called you?" ”

Except for Director Wang, Wang Guan really couldn't think of anyone who would make this little report. He didn't mention this before, he originally wanted to give Qian Lao an unexpected surprise, but now it seems that his efforts have been in vain.

"That's right."

At the right time, Qian Lao nodded with a chuckle and said: "Last night, he called me overnight, his tone was full of strong envy and jealousy, I thought it was a matter of Gongbu Sword, who knew that it was something else." (To be continued.) )
