Put the first chapter on the shelves, ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, the more subscriptions, monthly passes, and recommended tickets, the more you add, and look at the results today.
Old man Liu said: "When I got it back then, it was even more beautiful than this time, we all know that as long as it is bronze, especially the bronze made of refined copper, the more you use it, the more it will emit this kind of glory, this is that real gold is not afraid of fire, otherwise such an incense burner that has been passed down for hundreds of years, how can it be so bright as new"
"My brother is right, but I'm not optimistic about it." Qin Ke shook his head and said.
"If you are not optimistic, you will go to the side, don't delay others to see, you must know that there are not many opportunities like this." Seeing that many people stretched their necks and looked at his family's treasure, Liu Qiang had already been overjoyed, and at this time, Qin Ke said that he was not optimistic, he was naturally unhappy.
"How do you speak, this is your elder after all." Although Old Man Liu was also very unhappy, he was much more polite than his son.
"Brother, don't be surprised, it's mainly the shape of this thing, it's really shocking, but you can make such an incense burner, such a four-like thing, how wrong you look." Qin Kedao.
Old man Liu was shocked when he heard Qin Keyi say that his baby shocked him, and the little unhappiness just now immediately disappeared.
"Brother, if it weren't for my research and I didn't understand, how could it be sold for one million If this thing is auctioned, it may be able to sell for a sky-high price, but" Old man Liu sighed and stopped talking.
"Why didn't my brother send it to a few famous auction houses to try, if they were able to verify their identity, it wouldn't be a million that could be bought." Qin Ke asked.
Old man Liu said: "It turns out that I didn't plan to sell it at all, and the reason why I want to sell it for one million is just that someone wanted to buy it for one million, and I didn't let go at that time, so I put it down." โ
Qin Ke shook his head and said: "It's so unclear, if you either sell a loss, or you cheat someone, I really can't understand it." โ
"If you don't understand, don't say it, you don't have the ability. Just step aside, if any of you want to buy it, you can come and have a look, if you don't want to buy it. Just stay away from my baby, you can't afford to pay for it. Liu Yu stood aside, blocking the people who wanted to get closer.
At this time, Liu Qiang was already a little anxious, and there were many people who watched the excitement. There are people who want to buy it, but there is none.
Although it is the buyer who picks the thorns, the old man Qin in front of him only picks thorns and does not negotiate the price, which makes it more annoying.
"Brother Zhang, you paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan, why don't you squeak now, don't you want to buy it, we have a word first, if the thing is good." You can't go back on your word. Liu Yu said to the middle-aged man just now.
was named, the stall owner surnamed Zhang could only smile bitterly, these two brothers of the Liu family are really not things, he knew this, he wouldn't look for this trouble, but by borrowing the love of the place, they always recognize it
In this way, this Liu Yu actually squeezed him, and the stall owner had no choice but to deal with it: "Who knows your baby." Is it actually such a thing, is the Xuande furnace like this?
You don't have any knowledge, and the second is not like an incense burner, which is this Xuande furnace, Xuande furnace, whether it is true or not, there must be the six words of the Ming Xuande year, which is nothing. How can I bid"
"Dad, you explain it to him" Liu Qiang was dumbfounded, so he could only go to his father.
Old man Liu said: "It doesn't matter, if you don't buy it, we will refund you the money, as for whether this is a Xuande furnace, is it so important?"
"Yes. It doesn't really matter whether this thing is a Xuande furnace or not, but such a heavy weapon, I can't figure out the origin, who dares to spend a million to buy it" The stall owner was very moved, but he couldn't figure out what it was, he couldn't look at it, so he bought it home
"Young man, if this thing can be studied and understood, it can't be bought by a million." Qin Ke said at this time.
Middle-aged human: "I don't understand the research, a million flowers are worried"
Old man Liu sighed again and said, "That's why this thing has been in my hands for so long, if it weren't for this, I don't know whose house it has fallen on now."
As soon as Old Man Liu said this, his second son Liu Yu glanced at Liu Qiang angrily, no wonder this bronze was not sold, it turned out that it was not that he didn't want to sell it, but it was not easy to sell.
Liu Qiang is naturally not stupid, he understood his younger brother's eyes, so he said a little angrily: "Second brother, don't sue me about the big boss you are looking for, he will not come for an hour"
"He's coming, you don't have to worry about it, Brother Zhang, whether you buy it or not, if you don't buy it, we'll put it away, if the big boss I found saw so many people watching, maybe he would be angry." Liu Yu also lost his patience, and he began to urge the stall owner surnamed Zhang.
"How can you let me buy it, if you can prove that it is a Xuande furnace, then I will buy it." The stall owner was afraid that the two brothers would find an excuse not to pay him back, so he decided not to mention it or buy it.
Liu Qiang said to his father: "Dad, you give him proof." โ
Old man Liu smiled bitterly: "This still needs to prove that this is an incense burner, no problem."
The stall owner nodded and said: "It's an incense burner, I still recognize this, especially those small holes that emit fragrance, hollow carving, very fine." โ
Old man Liu continued: "Don't look at the decoration and ornamentation outside, look at the shape, isn't it very similar to Xuande furnace?"
"This is not right, I have never seen such a Xuande furnace, and there is no money on it, how did it become a Xuande furnace" The middle-aged man quit.
Old man Liu said: "Okay, if I say that he is an incense burner in the Ming Dynasty, do you have any opinions?"
"Looking at the scorching light, it looks like an old object from hundreds of years ago, but who knows that it is hundreds of years and three hundred years, and it is also six or seven hundred years, and it can only be barely regarded as a Ming Dynasty." The stall owner is not ignorant of everything.
Old man Liu nodded and said, "According to what you said, just by its appearance, isn't it worth a million?"
"How is this worth a million" The middle-aged man was a little dumbfounded.
"Young man, don't you see what this tripod is based on" At this time, the old man Qin Ke spoke again.
The stall owner glanced at Qin Ke, and the blame in his eyes was unobstructed, you old man don't buy it, what kind of trouble are you making
"I haven't seen the one you just said, I haven't even heard of it, even if it's a treasure, but this one is just a fake, an imitation can't be sold for a million just because there is a dragon and a tiger," the stall owner said with a stiff neck.
Qin Ke didn't wait for Old Man Liu to speak, so he explained: "Young man, look at the shape of this thing, whether it feels very solemn or not very powerful, or even hideous
Do you know what this is, this is called dragon and tiger stripes, do you know that this kind of dragon and tiger stripes appear on something, say this, maybe you don't know, but have you heard of dragon and tiger zun?"
"Dragon Tiger Venerable really hasn't heard of it." A middle-aged humane.
Qin Ke raised his head and looked at the surrounding group, and everyone listened carefully at this time.
This made Qin Ke a little proud, so he showed a hint of a smile, and then spoke: "The Dragon and Tiger Venerable has a history of more than 3,000 years and is famous for its theme decorated with dragon and tiger.
Among them, the dragon and tiger pattern bronze statue, casting, ornamentation is extremely fine, so that the archaeologists are amazed, it is tall, the mouth edge is broad, the belly is bulging, the high circle foot, 50 centimeters high, the diameter is 45 centimeters, and it weighs about 20 kilograms.
Among the masterpieces of ancient bronze art, the Dragon and Tiger Zun is a well-deserved leader, regarded as a treasure by the cultural relics and archaeological circles, and the Dragon and Tiger Zun is now in the National Museum. โ
Speaking of this, the old man turned around and pointed to the big tripod that was more than fifty centimeters in length and said: "I think this is a tripod, but Lao Liu thinks it is an incense burner, whether this is an incense burner or a tripod, it can't be zun."
Why do you say that, it is because of the mouth above, this tripod is covered, and Zun is a wine vessel, which is naturally open, which is the most obvious difference between them, but don't think that this thing is different from the Dragon and Tiger Zun.
The reason why I mentioned the Dragon and Tiger Zun is because this tripod, in addition to the opening above, is exactly the same as the Dragon and Tiger Zun in other aspects, Zun, is a kind of wine container in ancient China, popular in the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period has been rare.
According to the literature, as far as 4,000 years ago in the Xia Dynasty, bronze ware has been cast, and in the late Shang Dynasty, the level of bronze manufacturing reached a peak.
And this is certainly not Zun, but it is decorated with a cross hollow, the shoulder of the instrument is decorated with three curved dragon patterns, the round carved dragon head, sticking out of the shoulder, vivid, the abdomen is decorated with cloud and thunder patterns as the ground, decorated with three groups of tiger cannibal patterns, meaning mysterious, which is the typical characteristics of the Dragon and Tiger Zun.
Dragon and tiger pattern bronze statue, the tiger cannibal pattern on the abdomen, with the embossed tiger head as the center, the left and right double bodies, with a person in the mouth, and this is the same, you see, people have no clothes, and the body is decorated with patterns.
This composition was intended to show the complete image of the tiger from the front, but the front could not reflect the majestic body of the tiger, so an axisymmetric layout was adopted to stretch the tiger body to both sides, and the Shang Dynasty gluttonous pattern was also used in this composition.
In addition, there are similar tiger cannibal figures on the bronze Yue unearthed from the tomb of the Yinxu woman, the outside of the bronze square tripod ears of the queen mother, and the ampulla with the pattern of birds and beasts and dragons unearthed in the late Spring and Autumn period.
The tiger cannibal bronze block that is now hidden in the Izumiya Bogu Museum in Japan, the whole vessel is the three-dimensional image of the tiger eating man, more realistic, the tiger eats the portrait on the jade of the Shang Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Chong discusses the ghost chapter of the Heng Ding Jie quotes the mountain and sea classics, and there is a saying that the tiger eats the ghost.
This kind of tiger cannibal statue, perhaps taken from this meaning, in order to deter evil spirits, the shape and decoration of this bronze vessel, obviously influenced by Shang culture, the dragon and tiger bronze statue is one of the more typical examples. โ
"Could this be a Shang Dynasty dragon and tiger pattern bronze tripod" Liu Qiang listened with envy, so he blurted out and asked. To be continued
