"Don't miss it when you pass by, the real blue and white porcelain ......"

"Ru kiln porcelainRu kiln porcelain, good goods don't need to be said, just look at it......"

"The jade snuff bottle, the boutique that Emperor Qianlong once played, and the top goods that Heshen was copied out of his home......"

"Five million, a fixed price, you can keep the ...... more"

"Mom, I want to put water ......"

The chaotic sound came from time to time, Zhang Wufeng stood in the crowd, looking at the various beings, and then seeing the enthusiastic shouting of those small traders, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, this antique street, at the moment, is like a vegetable market, it is really lively. [Full text reading]

Zhang Wufeng walked all the way, and in his senses, he walked hundreds of meters along the way, passed by hundreds of stalls, and found nothing valuable, which couldn't help but make him ashamed.

In particular, there are a lot of jadeite wool, a lot of wool, and there are all white flowers and garbage inside.

Zhang Wufeng couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, although after he controlled the veins of the Jade King, the smuggling of jade wool was more difficult, mainly because he didn't want to be too tricky, but in the same way, after these stalls, so many woolen dishes were basically out of stock, and it can be seen that the risk of gambling on stones is really comparable to buying lottery tickets.

Although it is said that Zhang Wufeng did not use crystal power to scan at this moment, but the powerhouse of the realm of original sin, just with that induction power, he will definitely not look away.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhang Wufeng was slightly stunned, and then walked towards a small stall surrounded by many people.

"One million and I will pay one hundred and eighty thousand," shouted a young man with red eyes.

"Two million, I'll give two million"

Another fashionably dressed woman also shouted the price.

"Three million" Zhang Wufeng shouted, and suddenly, the noisy small stall immediately quieted down, and a series of eyes swept over at the same time.

"Three million, is there anything higher?" The owner of the vendor was a native of Xinjiang with a large beard and a dark green hat.

"Make a cage, a *child." A young man from Wuhan scolded a Wuhan dialect in a low voice, and then stopped talking.

"It's wonderful, three million, kicked in the head by a donkey." A middle-aged woman muttered in her heart, and glanced at Zhang Wufeng again, but she didn't say anything.

"Three million, is there anything higher?" The vendor asked again.

Seeing that no one around him answered, he was slightly disappointed, and then said happily: "This little brother, if you buy three million, I only need to transfer it in cash, do you think it's okay?" ”

His Mandarin is not standard, and it sounds a little difficult, but Zhang Wufeng has no problem listening to it.

"Well, okay, if you want cash, it's okay, I'll take out the money and deposit it in the bank yourself." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll take this thing first, and then we'll go to the bank transfer here." Xinjiang people said excitedly.

As he spoke, he said a few words of Xinjiang to a young man next to him, asking him to take a good look at the stall, and then went to the bank with Zhang Wufeng to transfer money.

This thing that was auctioned on was a beast-faced pattern.

The animal face pattern Fang Ding is also known as the gluttonous milk nail pattern Fang Ding, Du Ling Fang Ding. This vessel is the early Shang animal face pattern Fang Ding, unearthed in 1974 in Zhangzhai South Street, Zhengzhou, Henan. Straight mouth, folded edge, square lip, along the vertical two arched ears, grooved on the outside. The bucket-shaped square armpits, the feet are cylindrical, and the abdomen is decorated with animal face patterns and milk nail patterns. When unearthed, there were two pieces, one is 1 meter high and weighs 86.4 kilograms, which is the largest of the early Shang Dynasty bronzes found so far, and is now in the collection of the Chinese History Museum. The other is smaller, 0.87 meters high and weighs 64.25 kilograms, and is in the Henan Provincial Museum.

This thing, Zhang Wufeng has seen it before, and it is not strange, but the beast face pattern Fang Ding in front of him is a square tripod the size of a palm.

Its workmanship is exquisite, and the carving is permeated with a special aura.

Of course, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that the outer layer of this thing is from the renovation of the Tang Dynasty, so its age is only around the Tang Dynasty, and because the renovation means are relatively rough, the value is only about two million.

Two million is actually a high price.

But if the outer layer is removed, its value will not be below tens of millions, and it may even be priceless.

It's just that for Zhang Wufeng, there is no such mentality of picking up leaks, he doesn't care about money at the moment, but only cares about the things in it.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems that you like the bronzes such as the animal face pattern in the early Shang Dynasty very much." While saying this to Zhang Wufeng, the people of Xinjiang paid attention to Zhang Wufeng's joy and anger, as if he was showing the weight of his own words by observing words and colors.

"Well, I do like it, and I have a special understanding of this aspect. Let's just talk about bronze, this thing ......."

Zhang Wufeng didn't lie, he said with a smile, and told some relevant knowledge by the way.

"Well, in fact, it's not forced by life, we won't sell these things that circulate at home.

Indeed, the exquisitely shaped bronzes, especially the bronze ritual vessels, were highly prized by the rulers during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. They were heirlooms of aristocratic families and were only used for grand ceremonies or sacrifices. Many ceremonial vessels were cast with inscriptions (called gold inscriptions in calligraphy) that recorded the various privileges, sacrifices, military exploits, and orders or rewards of the slave owners and nobles for future generations to preserve forever. The inscription of Mao Gongding in the Western Zhou Dynasty is the longest, with 497 characters, and the content is extensive, involving rituals, exegesis, orders, conquests and lawsuits, etc., with the nature of historical books. The number of tripods reflects the level of status, the weight of the tripod, the size of the power, and even the rise and fall of royal power. Most of the bronzes are covered with animal face patterns, and these animal face patterns are also called gluttonous patterns. The gluttonous pattern is an insatiable and mysterious monster imagined by people, with horns, claws, and tails, which are actually created based on common cows, tigers, and sheep. The gluttonous pattern is a pattern formed after it has been transformed. It is also an imaginary animal, with sideways, horns, one foot, and a curled tail, mostly used for decorative bands. The animal face pattern is the humanization of beasts and gods by the ancients, trying to use the image of the beast to fabricate the gods, and the gods have effective charisma, and can gather forces to help the tribe fight against natural disasters and other tribes. The combination of the human form and the animal face to form the pattern of the gods is the transition of human beings from the primitive state of ignorance to civilization......"

"yes, I didn't expect you to know a lot about it. Since you know these, then you should also know that the imitation of this beast face pattern square tripod should be from the Chongguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and the level of this instrument is really not good, it should be the early broken tripod was renovated, and its value should lie in the inner part.

However, it is impossible to judge these, because the age has been a long time, and it is difficult to separate them. So its value, in fact, will not exceed two million. ”

Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.

This is a problem that a real master can see, and if Zhang Wufeng sees it inside, it is a real master's level.

This is what a master would be able to conclude under normal circumstances.

Xinjiang people sighed slightly, nodded, and said: "Yes, it is true, but once it can be separated, the internal things will not be less than eight million, which is like a gambling stone, but if you buy it for collection, you still care about its true value, and it will fall into the footsteps." ”

"Haha, yes, so I like it, so I don't say anything about buying it for three million, if I add it a little bit, I will offend people and delay time." Zhang Wufeng laughed.

"Well, anyway, what do you think of this thing, no matter how expensive it is for people who like it, they won't suffer a loss, and no matter how cheap it is for people who don't like it, they will lose money." Xinjiang people said.

"Yes, indeed." Zhang Wufeng said, and the two had already walked into the bank.

Soon, Zhang Wufeng transferred the money to the Xinjiang people, and he also got the beast face pattern Fang Ding.

"Mr. Zhang, I see that you are very fond of this, you won three million in one bite, and you are very proficient in this aspect, originally I didn't want to sell it, but seeing you like this, I just said it. I also have a small 'Simu Wu Dafang Ding' at home, do you want it? If you want, count you 8 million You are an expert, you can see the goods to decide whether to buy or not, this is definitely not a fool, you know that if you don't want to see it, I don't force it. ”

The Xinjiang people hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Trumpet's Simu Wu Dafang Ding? Zhang Wufeng was slightly surprised, he looked at the things in his hand, and then looked at the Xinjiang people.

"Yes, the trumpet, the size is about the same as this, how to say it, you will know if it is worth eight million My son owes a loan shark and is being hunted down, I have to raise money as soon as possible, three million is about the same, but I still want to leave some savings for my son, but I won't let him know about it......"

The Xinjiang man said in a deep voice, his tone somewhat difficult.

"You mean that Simu Wu Dafang Ding? Is it the extra-large bronze tripod found in Anyang County, Henan Province in 1939? ”

"Hmm," the Xinjiang man affirmed.

Zhang Wufeng nodded, he knew that after the Dafang Ding was unearthed, because it was so big and heavy, it could not be carried for a while, and the Japanese invaders forced it many times, in order to avoid plunder, people buried it in the ground, until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was rediscovered, and it is now collected in the Chinese History Museum.

Simu Wu is rectangular in shape, with a mouth length of 110 cm, a width of 78 cm, a wall thickness of 6 cm, a height of 133 cm with ears, and a weight of 875 kg. At that time, it required seventy or eighty craftsmen to work at the same time to cast, using more than 1,000 kilograms of metal raw materials. It is not only the largest bronze unearthed in China, but also a rare fine product in the world's bronzes. Although Dafang Ding is large in shape and weight, the production process is very exquisite. The thunder pattern of the tripod body is the ground, and the green dragon and gluttonous patterns are carved out of relief around it, and this animal pattern is carved out by a high degree of artistic exaggeration and deformation. The pattern sets off a hideous, mysterious and majestic atmosphere. In terms of casting technology and artistic level, Simu Wuding represents the highest achievement of bronze casting technology in the Shang Dynasty. Archaeologists believe that this tripod was made by the king of Shang to worship him, so it was named Simu Wu Dafang Ding.

Ding was a cooking utensil for cooking food in primitive societies, and it was fired with clay at that time. With the emergence and development of metallurgical technology, in the late Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, the tripod was cast in bronze, and at this time, the tripod has become a ritual vessel, a symbol of power and wealth. Shang and Zhou bronzes form a unique series of shapes. Containers include tripods, mustaches, respects, pots, etc., musical instruments include cymbals, bells, drums and bells that imitate wood, as well as weapons, chariots and horses, etc., among them, containers are the most classified. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the beautifully shaped bronzes, especially the bronze ritual vessels, were highly prized by the rulers. They were heirlooms of aristocratic families and were only used for grand ceremonies or sacrifices. Many ceremonial vessels were cast with inscriptions (called gold inscriptions in calligraphy) that recorded the various privileges, sacrifices, military exploits, and orders or rewards of the slave owners and nobles for future generations to preserve forever. The inscription of Mao Gongding in the Western Zhou Dynasty is the longest, with 497 characters, and the content is extensive, involving rituals, exegesis, orders, conquests and lawsuits, etc., with the nature of historical books. The number of tripods reflects the level of status, the weight of the tripod, the size of the power, and even the rise and fall of royal power.

Most of the bronzes are covered with animal face patterns, and these animal face patterns are also called gluttonous patterns. The gluttonous pattern is an insatiable and mysterious monster imagined by people, with horns, claws, and tails, which are actually created based on common cows, tigers, and sheep. The gluttonous pattern is a pattern formed after it has been transformed. It is also an imaginary animal, with a sideways body, horns, one foot, and a curled tail, mostly used for decorative bands. The animal face pattern is the humanization of beasts and gods by the ancients, trying to use the image of the beast to fabricate the gods, and the gods have effective charisma, and can gather forces to help the tribe fight against natural disasters and other tribes. The combination of the human form and the animal face to form the pattern of the gods is the transition of human beings from a primitive state of ignorance to civilization.

By the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ornamentation and style of bronzes had changed. The gluttonous pattern and gluttonous pattern are gradually replaced by annular patterns and water ripples. Covers, *W, ears and other parts were added to the utensils, and three-dimensional animal-shaped decorations were attached to these parts.

The splendid bronze art was created by those slaves who had no personal freedom but had rich imagination under specific historical conditions, and these various ornaments and patterns not only showed the ingenuity and superb skills of the foundry craftsmen, but also reflected the rational and moral concepts of the slave society at that time, and became a witness to history.

And what Zhang Wufeng likes is not the historical and cultural precipitation of this thing, nor anything else, but the spiritual imprint of this gluttonous pattern itself

Gluttonous imprint

Maybe the spirit of the imprint on the big thing has dissipated, but the small thing in front of him, the lines on it are shocking to Zhang Wufeng, because its spiritual imprint is extremely fresh, such a thing, if it is swallowed, then it is conceivable how the strength will be improved

Thinking of this, Zhang Wufeng said in a deep voice: "If it's really similar to what you said, then I'll give you 10 million, of course, if I like it." Well, let's go, go check it out. ”

"Okay, good," the Xinjiang man replied immediately, and then he thought for a moment and said, "Well, in order to avoid you doubting my integrity and suspecting that I have a gang to trick you into going to a strange and secret place to rob you, I will ask my nephew to fetch it, and you can wait at my booth for about twenty minutes." ”

The Xinjiang people thought about it for a while and said.

"Hehe, that's fine." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile, the other party really didn't think about it, but under normal circumstances, guarding against strangers is what some normal people should have, and Zhang Wufeng still wants to continue Taobao, so he doesn't want to run away with Xinjiang people too much.
