Chapter 42 The Gilded Boshan Furnace
"There is no inscription, and the approximate age can be judged from the pattern. "www.biquge.info Yang Gang carefully observed the bronze in the pangolin's hand.
The inscription is evidence that can directly indicate the identity and age of the tomb owner, since there is no inscription, it can only be determined by the ornamentation on the bronze.
The ornamentation on the bronzes, the ornamentation of each era has a style that belongs to that era, and some information can be obtained, such as beliefs and culture.
The pangolin then said: "The ornamentation of the bronze has not changed significantly, and this reliability is not high." ”
For the identification of bronzes, pangolins and Yang Gang both have a certain level, but on the same bronze, the two immediately disagreed, obviously this method could not work, and they gave up decisively.
"Can it be determined from the shape of the instrument?" I thought about judging by other means.
"It's hard." Yang Gang said truthfully.
It seems that it is indeed quite difficult to date the tomb from the bronze, unless the bronze is analyzed using modern technology.
For the burial goods of the tomb, it is generally specially made, or the tomb owner liked it during his lifetime, if you can find a special Ming vessel with an inscription, only one can be a date for the tomb.
"Forget it, look for it again, maybe you can find an artifact with an inscription." I'll go the more reliable way.
"If not, forget it, I think it's still early, maybe this information is in the jade coffin." Yang Gang then told us, "Continue to the next room, among so many Ming vessels, it is impossible not to have a Ming Vessel that represents the identity of the tomb owner." ”
Yang Gang said about the jade coffin, I recalled the jade coffin I saw in the dream, it was in front of me, I could touch it as soon as I stretched out my hand, the jade coffin was full of gold characters, which must have information about the identity of the tomb owner, but I only paid attention to the words such as jade seal, and I didn't look carefully, and then the woman in red in the jade coffin faced me, scaring me enough, and scared all the little information I saw.
"This bit of information, let's go back and get the jade coffin down, and we'll know it all." Lao K just robbed the tomb to make a fortune, and didn't care about whose tomb it was.
"Forget it, let's move on to the next room." The pangolin threw away the bronze in his hand, this bronze is only a living utensil, containing utensils, if there are not a few strings on the edge of the mouth, it is completely plain bronze.
Walking to the northeast wall, I stroked the wall with my hand, there were no traces, no gaps, I couldn't see if there was a door on the wall, I only tried to push it in.
"Don't fumble, even if there is a door, it will be difficult to find, as in the previous situation, come, let's try it and know the result." The pangolin slapped the wall and said to me.
I nodded, it was the only way.
The bearded man approached me and said, "Qin Qi, you are a weak scholar, it is more appropriate for me to be a big man." "The bearded man has completely forgotten my performance in the Qinling Underground Palace, and I am a martial artist who can fight with a few big men with his bare hands.
"Okay!" I agreed to the beard, after all, the stone gate in front of me and the pangolin was opened, and I was really tired, so it was just right to take a rest.
"Old K, let me take a break too." The pangolin said to old K.
Lao K did not refuse, and tomb robbing was a lot of fun.
Old K and the bearded man pushed the wall hard (I don't know if there is a door or not, so I call the possible door a "wall" for the time being), and for the first time, there was no response.
"Old K, unload your backpack!" I looked at the backpack that Old K was carrying, it was a burden, and I didn't know what he had put in the backpack, it was bulging, it was all full.
"Okay!" Old K put down his backpack and started over with the beard.
This time it was a success, and sure enough, a door appeared in the wall that was sinking in.
"Push again." I saw the door appear, approaching with the bearded man and the old K said.
"It's still heavy!" Old K pushed the door hard and said to me at the same time.
I smiled and nodded, "You know it's hard work!" ”
The door was pushed open, and we cautiously entered with flashlights in turn, for fear that the red-eyed black man would come out and attack us again.
However, nothing out of the ordinary, everything went well, there was no danger in this fourth room, which was filled with bright utensils neatly arranged under the base of the wall.
"Well, this time it's not just bronze and jade, but also some golden objects." Old K was as excited as he made a fortune, and he changed his waist and picked up one casually, and he was not afraid of hiding any deadly organs.
"Golden?" The bearded man also approached to stare at the treasure in Lao K's hand.
Old K laughed and said, "Of course." ”
Old K didn't look carefully at all, and took off the backpack, but found that he couldn't stuff anything into the backpack, so he had to take out a jade artifact from the backpack and throw it away, making room for the gold artifact.
"Slow, that's not gold." The pangolin's eyes were really sharp, and he saw the clue at a glance, and immediately said to Lao K.
"What?" Old K seemed to be hit on the head, and the hand containing the gold object stopped, glared at the pangolin and said, "I don't read much, don't try to lie to me, this gold is not gold, is it copper?" ”
The pangolin stretched out his hand to the pangolin, who paused for a moment, reluctantly handed the gold object into the pangolin's hand, and I also shone the flashlight on the golden object in the pangolin's hand.
At this time, in the hands of the pangolin, there is a furnace, called Boshan furnace, which is well-made and golden.
Boshan furnace is a stove for burning incense, the shape is not big and beautiful, the lower part is like a red wine goblet, there is a lid on it, the cover is made into the image of a mountain, there are stones and trees in the mountain and people with fairy wind bones, there are holes in it, I think as long as the incense is lit in it, the smoke rises from the holes, the mountains at this time must be like a fairyland.
The lid naturally sits on top, and the pangolin just takes it in his hand, and the lid is removed, and then the lid and the furnace body gently hit each other, making a metallic sound.
"This is not a Boshan furnace made of pure gold, but gilded, and the carcass is bronze." The pangolin said while making the Boshan furnace.
I took the lid from the pangolin's hand, and it looked like gold, and at a glance, it could be seen as fake, and it was no wonder that Lao K thought it was a gold artifact.
Turning over the lid of the furnace, the inside is empty, with holes, and there are still traces of pottery casting.
This Boshan furnace, no wonder the old K fell in love at a glance, it is very conspicuous in this pile of Ming ware, not only the color, but also the shape and craftsmanship are the best.
"Is this thing from the same period as these?" Shangguan Yaxiong asked me.
I shook my head, I'm not an expert in this area, I don't make any remarks so as not to mislead people.
"Eh, there's an inscription." The pangolin turned over the bottom of the Boshan furnace and said suddenly.
I leaned in and asked, "What is written?" ”
The pangolin frowned and read, "Wei Hua." (To be continued.) )
