Chapter 3: The Incident of Selling National Treasures Abroad

Odd!

How did the museum's private collection become Yingren's private collection?

Chu Ang glanced at Yingren Island, and then at the bronze ware, and was puzzled in his heart.

Cao Gongzi, who was still waiting for the following, saw that Chu Ang was silent and did not forget it for a long time, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Chu... Brother Chu! ”

“……”

Chu Ang came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "To be precise, this treasure is not from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but from the Qin and Han dynasties..."

"What?" Xiao Dao looked at Chu Ang with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but sneer, "Just a gluttonous thumb? ”

Chu Ang smiled indifferently, "Of course not... There is one more important point to prove my conclusion! ”

At this time, everyone looked at Chu Ang.

"Material!"

Chu Ang said: "The weight of this tripod is slightly heavier than the bronze tripod of the same size. ”

Everyone: "??? ”

Chu Ang said: "During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, copper smelting technology was complex and not refined enough. Therefore, the copper made is not pure, the impurities are very large, and the density is slightly smaller. ”

"Copper smelting technology continued to develop until the Qin and Han dynasties, and then it tended to be perfect and reached the point of purity..."

"The copper smelted during this period is more refined than that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, with higher density and heavier weight!"

"The material of the tripod in front of us does not conform to the copper of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it is not much different from the Qin and Han dynasties!"

"Therefore, I am sure that this tripod should be imitated by the nobles of the Qin and Han dynasties and imitated the ritual vessels made in the Western Zhou Dynasty!"

“……”

Everyone listened very carefully, but in the face of such a young Chu Ang, many people couldn't help but muttered in their hearts - this kid is not making it up.

What is the gluttonous thumb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, what is the density of the bronze tripod of the Qin and Han dynasties, most of the people on the second floor are businessmen, and they are not antique insiders, even if they feel that what Chu Ang said is reasonable, but many people are also skeptical in their hearts.

It's really Chu Ang who is too young.

Make it difficult for a group of business tycoons to convince the public!

"I know a professor at the Old Palace Museum, my iron buddy, or... Ask him to come over! A business tycoon suggested.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded, "Yes, yes, yes... Find an expert to take a look! ”

Hearing this, Cao Gongzi frowned.

Generally speaking, please have someone in the palm of your hand, but second-hand.

It means that if you invite a connoisseur to take the spot, you won't go to a second one.

Unless you can't see it!

Otherwise, this kind of behavior will embarrass the first one, and even if you look for it, it will be in private and will never be mentioned in person.

"A bunch of laymen!" Cao Gongzi was not angry in his heart, this was not a slap in the face, he knew that this was the case, he should not have let Chu Ang come over, this move undoubtedly made him not a person inside and out, and hurriedly handed Chu Ang an apologetic look.

Chu Ang smiled, not careless.

What is fake is what is fake!

Even if the king of heaven is here, it can't really be!

But... The appearance of this gluttonous bronze tripod here was really beyond his expectations.

Bronzes are treasures of Chinese civilization, and many of them are permanently banned from being exhibited abroad, but this piece has become the private collection of Dongying people, what happened overseas?

Chu Ang had deep doubts in his heart.

………

Ten minutes later, the professor of the Old Palace Museum in the mouth of the business tycoon arrived.

"Professor Zhao!"

"Mr. Zhao!"

The professors of the museum, the top intellectuals in China, and a group of business tycoons are also very face-saving and greet people politely.

The person who came was also full of shelves, with his head held high, his eyes wide, and he swaggered in, and he looked like a glamorous voice around him, and my generation read the sage book with a disdainful demeanor.

"It's the bronze in front of you... It"

However, when the visitor saw Chu Ang next to the bronzes, the corners of his mouth trembled, "Mr. Chu... Mr. Xiao Chu... Why are you here? ”

“……”

"Uh... What's going on? ”

"Brother Cheng Jin? Is this little brother your junior? Several business tycoons were stunned.

The person who came was like Zhao Chengjin, he never expected to see Chu Ang who had been absent for a month here, and hurriedly greeted him.

When he learned that this bronze had already been identified by Chu Ang, where did Zhao Chengjin dare to say anything.

As for... Overturning Chuang's conclusions?

Isn't that nonsense!

It's just kidding!

Zhao Chengjin shook his head for a while, secretly wondering in his heart that these businessmen didn't put themselves on the fire to roast!

Chu Ang didn't know what Professor Zhao was thinking, but the arrival of the other party did allow Chu Ang to find an object to discuss, so he expressed his worries.

"Mr. Chu, you don't know yet!" Zhao Chengjin said, "During the days when you were not in Sijiu City, the original work of "Spring Outing and Late Return" has recently appeared in the domestic auction house..."

Chu Ang subconsciously said: "Impossible, "Spring Outing and Late Return" is in the Old Palace Museum of Bay Island!" ”

Chu Ang remembered that "Spring Outing and Late Homecoming" was a painting on silk created by the Ming Dynasty painter Qiu Ying. There is no author's name in it, only on the lower left side of the "Ten Continents" scoop print.

According to the record of "Moyuan Huiguanlu", Qiu Ying's imitation of ancient works is not signed. Although I don't know who copied the work of this painting, from the title of the painting, it is quite close to the meaning of the "Spring Outing and Late Return" made by Dai Jin in the Ming Dynasty.

"But according to reliable sources, they did get the real thing. As for whether it was dropped by the National Palace Museum on Taiwan Island, I don't know! ”

"Or maybe the one in the Old Palace Museum on Bay Island was a fake from the beginning." Zhao Chengjin's voice was very small.

As he spoke, he also took out his phone and opened the photo album, "Look... This is a picture sent by a friend in my industry! ”

Chu Ang took it and looked at it, and then enlarged the picture to observe.

I saw that in the distance of this picture, the mountains are steep, the cliffs of the hanging houses, and the mountains are painted lightly, because they are separated by cloud segments, and under the white clouds are patches of woods, houses and people. The trees are dense, lush and dense, and the houses are shaded by the trees.

The houses are very well painted.

The mountain stone of the close-up view lies horizontally, or even or broken, the slope stone is overgrown with flowers and plants, miscellaneous trees, there is a peach tree, the branches and roots are coiled, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the lower is the slope stone, the wide lake pond, the ripples are undulating.

There is an elderly man in the painting, returning on a horse, wearing a bucket stick, wearing a wide robe, and holding the reins of a horse, followed by two boys, the former holding the harp, the latter carrying a heavy burden, walking slowly, and making a conversation, as if telling each other that they are almost home.

Pale ink compound strokes on the edges of the trunk without scratching the bark. The distant mountains are not rubbed, only with wet brushes and light ink and snail blue lining dyed to metaphor the twilight haze, the scenery is misty.

Zhao Chengjin said, "What does Mr. Chu think? ”

Chu Ang has appraised Qiu Ying's paintings many times, and knows Qiu Ying's painting style very well, so he quickly made a judgment, "There is a high probability that it is true... Hell yes! ”

“……”

Zhao Chengjin and Chu Ang glanced at each other, and both of them were shocked, "Someone is openly betraying the national treasure!" ”

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations. Ask for follow-up
