Mitsui Takashi and the two brothers, looking at the two samurai figurines and not speaking, on the one hand, they were hit by such a sudden ecstasy, and they really didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, it is also a sigh for the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.

You must know that when these two terracotta figurines were fired, it should have been more than 2,000 years ago, and the Chinese could already fire such terracotta figurines at that time.

And what about the Japanese at that time? It seems that there is no record of the history of the Japanese people at that time, and it seems that our ancestors had just fallen from a tree and walked with their feet upright.

Of course, this is just the estimation in the hearts of the two, but they don't dare to say this to outsiders at all.

Yoshihiko Noda was much more professional than his two employers at this time, he squatted on the ground, took a flashlight and began to shine on the two terracotta figurines, looking at the facial expressions of the two terracotta figurines, as well as the sculpture of the faces.

The two terracotta figurines, with round eyes, have the spirit of a samurai, and they are both beards, and the beards are also carefully cared for, it can be seen that the craftsmen who made these two terracotta figurines should have been very careful in these details.

And the hair buns of the two terracotta figurines also have obvious characteristics of the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for the fact that he knew which mysterious Mr. Jim these two terracotta figurines were fakes, I am afraid that at this time he would have been surrounded by them, and these two fakes would have been regarded as genuine.

Because these two terracotta figurines, no matter how you look at them, they are no different from the real ones.

After looking at these two terracotta figurines, he didn't say much, but came to another box of the same height as this box, pried open this box, and then found seven or eight terracotta figurines from this box.

This time, the terracotta figurines that came out of this box. But they are not as tall as the two samurai servants before, and most of them are ordinary terracotta figurines.

Some are kneeling women, some are dressed as servants, and there are terracotta figurines of boys, there are more than a dozen of them, although they are also very finely made. But when it comes to spirit, these terracotta figurines don't have the spirit of the two samurai servants in front of them.

Yoshihiko Noda seemed to be very unwilling, he pried open a box next to this box again, and this time the things taken out of this box finally satisfied him.

It turned out that what they took out this time was actually two samurai servants on horseback, and these two samurai servants were much taller than the two half-human tall samurai servants before because of the horses underneath.

If you measure it. It has even reached a height of 1.7 meters, reaching the height of an ordinary adult.

Moreover, the facial statues, and the statues of the two horses, are also the same as the two samurai maids in front, they are all meticulously crafted, and even the hair of the figures and horses is made lifelike, and it can be seen that the craftsmen who fired the two samurai equestrian figurines were also very attentive.

After seeing these two samurai maids on horseback. This Noda Yoshihiko really stood up and stretched his waist. But just as he was stretching, he realized that the two Noda Yoshihiko brothers were looking at him at this time.

He smiled inwardly, then turned around and came to the two brothers, just about to speak. He closed his mouth again, and then glanced up at Watanabe, who was standing not far away.

The two Mitsui brothers also followed his gaze to look at Junichi Watanabe, and saw that guy, who was still holding the pile of checkbooks at this time, was struggling. Didn't notice what was going on on their side.

At this time, Noda Yoshihiko seemed to be relieved, and pulled the Mitsui brothers and whispered: "Gentlemen, we have hit a lot of luck this time, and the things here are definitely China's national treasures." It must have been unearthed in the tomb of the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and the most important thing is that the status of the owner of the tomb must have been quite good, otherwise there would definitely be no such things in his tomb. ”

Noda Yoshihiko's words made the eyebrows of Mitsui Takazu, who was standing aside, jump, this old guy had been pretending to be calm before, although he also felt that these things in front of him should be antiques from the Han Dynasty that had not run away, but without Noda Yoshihiko, an expert, to give him affirmation, he has always been bottomless in his heart.

At this time, Mitsui Mitsui's expression was a little dignified, Mitsui Guihe looked at it, and hurriedly asked him: "Mitsui, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Well, I can't say it, I just think these terracotta figurines are a little weird, but I can't say where they are weird."

Although Mitsui Mitsui has mediocre qualifications in antique appraisal, after all, he is also a person who has been rolling in the antique circle for decades, not to mention that the Tokyo National Museum, where he usually works, has treasures that can be counted.

Although he saw these fakes now, Jin Muchen asked Sister Tao to find her friends who were masters of counterfeiting.

But in Mitsui's eyes, it is still a little unnatural, but if you ask him to say it, what is wrong and what is unnatural, he can't say it.

And at this time, Noda Yoshihiko, of course, can't let Mitsui Mitsui's straw bag spoil his good deeds.

Of course, considering the employment relationship between him and the two Mitsui brothers, it was not easy for him to say too direct and blunt words at this time, and denied Mitsui Mitsui, so he turned around and asked Mitsui Mitsui.

"Guangliang, what do you think is wrong with this terracotta figurine?"

"Hmm...... How so? I can't say, but I've never heard of it before, and the princes of the Han Dynasty also liked to use terracotta figurines in their tombs, and they were also painted pottery. Two years ago, our museum also organized an exchange with Chinese museums. At that time, I also went to China, and I saw a lot of collections in many Chinese museums, including these terracotta figurines, and those terracotta figurines, especially the earliest era of faience, seem to be from the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

Mitsui Mitsui finally said the question that he had been wondering about for a long time in his heart, but because he was usually too hasty in antique appraisal, he didn't dare to say it too sure.

After all, in front of Yoshihiko Noda, he didn't dare to pretend that he was an expert.

And after listening to his words, Yoshihiko Noda was hehe, not only with a smile on his face, but also with joy in his heart.

This Mitsui Mitsui, sure enough, is still the same as before, it's just a straw bag, no matter what you do, you don't have confidence, something like this, if you judge it yourself, you can already conclude that this thing is a fake.

But at this time, he can't say this to the two Mitsui brothers, but he still has to fool these two brothers, this is the real thing!

"Guangliang, you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that there were no such colorful terracotta figurines in the Han Dynasty! Well...... Ay! Then I'll tell you about it, in fact, in ancient China, the Shang and Zhou dynasties, if the royal nobles at that time died, they all had to be buried with living people. This custom continued until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the earliest and largest group of living human tombs found in China is the tomb group of the Song monarch during the Spring and Autumn Period, and he sent a total of twelve of his beloved concubines to hell with him. Because this method was too inhumane, it was gradually abolished in the late Warring States period. Of course, it is not all abolished, but some royal relatives and nobles are no longer using this method. For example, the famous Qin Shi Huang specially used samurai terracotta figurines as his funeral objects. That is to say, since then, the Chinese have begun to use terracotta figurines for burials. ”

Although what Yoshihiko Noda said is a well-known historical episode, the two Mitsui brothers still listened to it with relish, after all, this Yoshihiko Noda, the name of a genius in treasure appreciation is not for nothing.

Especially in the field of Chinese antiques, he is the leading expert in Japan, so he doesn't care what kind of person he is, but he still has a strong credibility and persuasiveness in antique appraisal.

"When it came to the Han Dynasty, the first few emperors of the Han Dynasty were still very sympathetic to the people, in order not to work the people and lose money like Qin Shi Huang, so they no longer spent the energy of Qin Shi Huang on the terracotta figurines that accompanied the burial. Even if some terracotta figurines are fired to accompany the burial, some small vessels are also fired as much as possible, so the terracotta figurines of the Northern Wei Dynasty that we found later are basically not large, and they are also inherited from the Han Dynasty. The best way to divide the pottery figurines of the Han Dynasty and the pottery figurines of the Northern Wei Dynasty is to look at the hair ornaments of these terracotta figurines, the terracotta figurines of the Han Dynasty and the terracotta figurines of the Northern Wei Dynasty have obvious differences in hair accessories, and the royal family of the Han Dynasty generally likes to choose warrior figurines to accompany the burial. to disturb them, and hopefully that these warriors will deter the tomb robbers who come to rob their tombs. The terracotta figurines of the Northern Wei Dynasty, because the Northern Wei Dynasty was already the leading country in the north at that time, there was no dangerous concept, so the dignitaries and dignitaries at that time preferred the clay figurines of ladies and ladies, or the clay figurines of servants to accompany them for burial, which could ensure that they also lived a good life of wives and concubines and servants underground. In addition, you said that the earliest painted pottery figurines you have seen are from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but don't forget that the Northern Wei Dynasty is not far from the Han Dynasty, and many of the techniques and skills of their pottery craftsmen at that time were actually inherited from the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty. Besides, you haven't seen the painted pottery figurines of the Han Dynasty, which is actually a good thing, and a few colored pottery figurines of the Han Dynasty in front of you, don't you think this is a new archaeological discovery? They can make the appearance of the painted pottery figurines more than a hundred years earlier......" (To be continued.) )
