It was a bronze and gold tripod that was very common in that era, and the tripod was about the size of today's shoebox, which belonged to decorative bronzes.

The inside of the tripod is relatively shallow, the pattern carved on the outside is more exquisite, you can see the traces of gold water plating, you can see that this tripod has been delicately depicted with pure gold, but because the age is a little old, now it is not clear what the pattern is......

There are indeed some words engraved on the bronze tripod, which are carved with old Qin characters.

The most conspicuous thing is the eight characters of [Fengjun Bai's generation Shouying] above, and there is indeed Zhou Tianzi's imperial seal below, which is a well-preserved ancient bronze ~~

Although Chen Zhi is not very knowledgeable about antiques, but judging from the above pulp, this is indeed an object of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there is nothing greasy in the workmanship of the era, the place is clean, not a high imitation in the later Tang and Song dynasties, this thing is on the market, and it is also a good thing to enter the museum~~~

Chen Zhi used the silk cloth in Mr. Bai's hand, carefully picked up this tripod, and then opened the four feet and looked at it carefully, this is the kind of common four-legged tripod, the tripod foot is a bit like a deer's leg, the mouth is very wide, and there are traces of carbide inside, which should have been used a long time ago.

The ancients would use bronze to cast many things, some of which were just daily necessities, but only the tripod was different, and each tripod had its own unique significance.

There are two types of bronze tripods, the first is a cooker, that is, a large pot used for cooking food, which is generally larger in size.

In 1983, Yang Chong, Zhongpu Village, Dunshang Township, unearthed the late Western Zhou Dynasty bronze cookware, the flat edge is folded outward, the double ears are slightly skimmed outward, the round bottom, the animal hoof feet, the height of the tripod is 58.5 cm, the weight is 6.2 kg, the whole body is waxy, it is a typical cookware.

There is also a kind of tripod that was used as a ritual vessel, the Shang and Zhou dynasties had a strict hierarchy, using rituals to maintain political and economic power, and sacrifice was the central link to communicate people and gods and sanctify the order of the world.

At that time, bronze vessels occupied a large share of the sacrificial vessels, and were necessary ritual vessels for the patriarchs of the aristocratic clans and the Son of Heaven, who was the co-lord of the world, to preside over the sacrifices. It is also often used in ceremonial activities such as marriages, feasts, pilgrimages, alliances, and honors of merit among nobles.

Chen Zhi once saw several bronze tripods from the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the library pavilion in Xiqi, all of which were used to divide the princes and nobles, and the inside of the bronze tripod were engraved with inconspicuous divine inscriptions, which were estimated to be handwritten by the patriarch of the Jiang clan, describing the provenance of this item.

Chen Zhi took out an electric rod and shone it on the inside of the Dingkou, and soon, he found a very small line of divine characters on the inner mouth of the Ding, the font was very small, even if he saw it inadvertently, he would mistake it for ordinary wear and tear.

But it is this vague kid, for Chen Zhi, the origin and meaning of this tripod are already very clear.

This is indeed a bronze tripod cast during the Warring States Period, and it was also sealed by Zhou Tianzi, but it was not given to Bai Qi's descendants, and a line of small characters was written on it in divine script:

[Those who attach troops to win war merits will be exempted from the registration of the people, given a white surname, and passed on from generation to generation]

Chen Zhi then returned the tripod to Mr. Bai, who immediately solemnly wrapped the tripod layer by layer with silk cloth, put it back in the box, and re-covered it.

When everything was cleaned up, the old gentleman let his two sons carry the boxes back to the house solemnly with the support of others.

"Mr. Chen, at first glance, you are a person who has seen the world!" ，

Mr. Bai smiled and said to Chen Zhi:

"Look at this tripod handed down by the old family, it's okay!

At the beginning, the provincial museum said that it was going to be acquired, but I didn't give it away, and then there was an American boss who paid a lot of money to buy it, and I said, I just haven't seen the money again, and I can't sell my ancestors~~, this is the name of our ancestors, proving that I am a descendant of the god of war Baiqi.

This tripod is not sold for more money~~~"

"That's right! The old man is right, he is worthy of being the descendant of the god of war......", and the people around him immediately echoed and became passionate.

"Sure enough, it's a treasure!" ，

Chen Zhi immediately smiled and said to Mr. Bai:

"Although I am not an expert in antiques, I can see that this is a good thing, it should be a gift from Zhou Tianzi!

This kind of thing is very rare now, and it is hard to find it on the market!

And judging from the above text, Mr. Bai's ancestors must have been heroes of the battlefield, which is really enviable! ”

"Oops, where~~~"

After hearing Chen Zhi's words, the white-bearded old man immediately looked at the people around him as if he had received the greatest affirmation, and his beard was raised with joy.

"In fact, I knew from a very young age that our family was the direct descendants of Bai Qi!

But my old father always told me to keep a low profile and not to talk about my ancestors, starting from my grandfather's generation, basically everyone in our family was a soldier, and later if it wasn't for the situation, I might have been a soldier!

Even my children and grandchildren, there is no coward, all of them are steel and iron, if we were born a few years earlier and encountered the War of Resistance against Japan, we would be sure to let those little devils know how powerful our Bai family is.

"Of course, the people of the Bai family did not coax ......",

As if they had received great encouragement, the surrounding villagers all echoed it, and everyone's face was filled with a different kind of collective pride, which was very cohesive and touched.

The old gentleman Bai was obviously very happy now, and stood up again and toasted Chen Zhi with a glass of water and wine.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to play here for a few more days after you come this time? We don't treat our customers well, you have to be more patient! ”

"Sir, you are really too polite!" ，

Chen Zhi smiled:

"This sentence is enough to disturb, I think, after eating this meal, there is no need for a big banquet, if it is convenient for you, find someone to take us up the back mountain to have a look!

Our biggest wish this time is to see the tomb of the god Baiqi in the back mountain.

By the way, there's one more thing! I heard that there is still an old village house in the back mountain, where the aborigines lived here, and we want to go and see it! ”

"Huh?"

After Mr. Bai heard Chen Zhi's words, the expression on his face suddenly became stiff, he looked at the people around him with some embarrassment, and then smiled slightly:

"Mr. Chen, that place is a deserted village, no one has been there for more than ten years, I heard that there were some mountain people living there, and then I don't know what the reason is, all left~~~

Later, there were mountains and rivers there, and the mud and rocks smashed the village, and now the houses there have long been dilapidated, and they are gloomy like ghost villages, so I don't think there is any need to look at them again........................
