"Professor Dong won't be your man too, will he?"

Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and glanced at Chu Ziqiang, the Chu family seemed to be able to arrange anything, should the next step be to reveal his identity and announce what the four hidden families in China are?

"What do you think, Professor Dong is half a master of my second uncle, and my father was a mentor when he was in graduate school, and I am almost the same person as him." Chu Ziqiang explained in a low voice.

"Your relationship is really complicated......"

"I'll think about it again, I originally planned to go to the Liangzhu Museum in the next few days, but I don't necessarily have time."

Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal to what Xiao Chu said about going to see the clay pot.

This Liangzhu Forum has a long time span, so let's take a look at the excitement first.

The exchange meeting continued, and then Professor Dong came to the stage was a middle-aged man wearing gold-wire glasses, and the first thing he said made Zhang Yang a little foggy:

"If we look at Liangzhu with the common settlement theory, it is not a country or dynasty at all, and as the remains of Yao, the site of the Tao Temple (2300 BC), which has been buried with pig bones, proves that they came from the Dawenkou culture. It's just that the Liangzhu people went north and forced the Dawenkou ethnic group to move westward, and the so-called Yanhuang is just wishful thinking on the part of the ancients......"

It turns out that this is a serious academic conference!

It's too much for a junior who has never been exposed to this kind of stuff before.

Zhang Yang can only roughly hear that some people want to prove that "Liangzhu Civilization = Yu Dynasty", and some people want to refute and tell everyone that the real "First Dynasty" is the Xia Dynasty at the Erlitou site.

"What are they fighting for?" Sister Gao asked the person next to her in a low voice.

"I seem to understand." Xu Jie explained: "In fact, it is the difference between 5,000 years of history and 4,000 years of history, if it is only the Xia Dynasty, the history of China is only 4,000 years. ”

"Boss, is that so?"

"Pretty much." Zhang Yang said honestly: "I can only say that I understand this thing." ”

The experts and scholars on the stage have changed one after another, but the problems that have been repeatedly entangled have not changed, and no one can convince anyone. Anyway, there are enough air conditioning and mineral water pipes here, so let's break it slowly.

Zhang Yang originally thought that this exchange meeting would be like this, and the discussion couldn't come up with a reason, until a somewhat familiar treasure appeared on the stage.

"Wow, why does this person still have props, foul!" Xu Jie exclaimed.

"Bringing props to explain the major, I like to use props."

"It's a bronze, like an antelope?"

"Here, Brother Yang, it's your major, help us see, is this true or fake?"

"It's true at first sight." Zhang Yang blinked, making sure that he had seen both the treasure and the treasure bearer: "This is a statue of an antelope from the Bronze Age of West Asia." ”

The item information shows "Production time: 2101 BC", and he has only encountered one such treasure, which is when he appraised the treasure under the Yangcheng line.

Western Asian Bronze ...... Zhang Yang faintly felt that someone was coming to smash the field!

Sure enough, as soon as the middle-aged man on the stage who had a relationship with Zhang Yang spoke, the atmosphere of the meeting was pushed to a high point.

"I know that all of you here want to prove something with the success of the Liangzhu site's application for World Heritage Status, but I think that this is the illness of the people from the World Heritage Center, even if the people from the Cosmic Heritage Center say that Liangzhu is a civilization, they will not be recognized by my Wang Long!"

It seems that Wang Lung should be the enemy of this treasure friend, Zhang Yang thought secretly in his heart.

"Okay, I'm done venting my emotions, I'll give you some dry goods. Ladies and gentlemen, what are the three elements of civilization? ”

"It's words, it's cities, it's bronzes."

"This is not the standard of the West, this is what Mr. Xia, the founder of archaeology in our country, said."

"Tell me, have you found any bronzes at the Liangzhu site? No, so it can only be called Liangzhu culture, not to mention the concept of the country. ”

Baoyou's statement, many people present who supported "Xia is the first dynasty" still expressed their approval, so everyone's reaction was not too intense.

But his next words exploded directly.

"You should have noticed this bronze I brought, you must think it's from Shang Zhou, right?"

"Hey, that's a big mistake! The bronzes of the Shang Dynasty came from the west, and it came from the Sumerian civilization of West Asia, the origin of my bronze statue. IMHO, is it possible that the Shang culture you are discussing was also from the West, like bronzes? ”

"The so-called Xia Dynasty is actually the disseminator of Western culture???

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and almost everyone present expressed their opposition to the statement that Baoyou "came from the west".

Conservatively, "Ridiculous! ”

The more radical ones scolded directly: "Tender fart!" ”

I can't bear to watch the fun: "Fight, fight, fight!" ”

But knowing the flamboyance of this treasure friend, I only think it's a little weird.

It's 2023, not 2003, and the "culture of the West" is outdated, and the popular argument on the Internet now is that "Western history is a forgery".

The saying that "bronze smelting technology came from the West" still had a lot of audiences ten years ago.

However, with the Majiayao culture (3000 BC) and Shijiahe culture (2700 BC) successively unearthed bronze knives, and the Taosi site (2300 BC) also has serious bronzes unearthed, this statement has been difficult to convince the public, and the current statement is that "several ancient cultures have exchanged with each other".

Treasure friends who do transnational "cultural relics trade", on such an occasion, before making such remarks, really don't do any homework at all?

Also, how did he get in, and what about the security guards?

Zhang Yang was very curious, what bad water Baoyou was holding.

"Don't be so anxious, the age of my bronzes, but the authentic cultural relics of the Eastern Mediterranean civilization that have been identified by treasure connoisseurs are earlier than the bronzes of your Shang Dynasty."

"Which bullshit expert appraised it?" Someone at the scene asked.

Zhang Yang suddenly felt a little bad.

Fortunately, Baoyou did not repay virtue with grievances, and people directly ignored this problem, and continued to talk about the strange views of culture from the West around the bronze.

"Why is this person like this......" Sister Gao expressed her incomprehension of Baoyou's statement.

"Banana people are like this, and we have wanted to use our genes to prove that our ancestors are descendants of monkeys from Southeast Asia." Xiao Chu also said a little angrily.

Several people discussed in a whisper, and the others on the scene were similar, and the whole conference room was chattering, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a vegetable market.

Zhang Yang's eyes were always on the middle-aged man on the stage, and when the other party stepped down, he immediately greeted him.

"Boss, where are you going?" Xu Jie is a bit clingy.

"There's an old friend at the scene, go say hello."

may be afraid of being beaten, after stepping down, Baoyou, directly holding the bronze and walking outside the venue, along the way, most of the experts and scholars attending the meeting are elderly, and no one dares to stop him.

Zhang Yang followed silently, and followed him until outside the conference room before Baoyou reacted.

He turned around and asked, "Are you following me...... Zhang, Master Zhang? ”

Baoyou looked at Zhang Yang with a surprised expression: "Master, when did you come?" ”

"I was in the venue before you took the stage." Zhang Yang smiled.

"Oh, that's a coincidence. By the way, who is this? ”

Baoyou poked his head out and looked behind Zhang Yang.

Well? Is there anyone behind it?

Zhang Yang then turned his head.

I don't know when, there was also an old man behind him, wearing an old suit, square-rimmed glasses with yellow lenses, and his expression was a little restrained.

"Excuse me!" The old man smiled and said, "I want to ask this gentleman, can you lend me your relics from the Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean to study?" ”

"Oh?" An old man who was interested in West Asian cultural relics suddenly appeared, and Zhang Yang and Baoyou were very surprised.

"Do you believe his assertion that culture has come to the West?" Zhang Yang asked.

Looking at the old man's age, he is about the same as Professor Dong, so he shouldn't have a little understanding.

"Of course it can't be." The old man shook his head: "If the Liangzhu site hadn't been excavated, some people might believe it, but now, hehe......"

"Then what are you looking at my darling?"

Baoyou's tone was a little unhappy, and the old man's words were a little too rude, and he was even suspected of treating him as a fool.

However, the old man only used two words to dispel all his unhappiness:

"I'll buy it."

"So you want to buy it, disrespectful and disrespectful. Please, let's find a place for you to take a good look. ”

Baoyou hurriedly made a gesture of please, led the old man to the coffee table in the hotel lobby, and put the bronze antelope statue in his hand.

Taking advantage of the old man's observation, Zhang Yang asked the question he wanted to ask:

"I remember, didn't your stuff be smuggled in by land? How dare you show it on such an occasion? ”

Baoyou's behavior is very dangerous in Zhang Yang's opinion, because his bronze antelope has appeared with Zhang Yang at the Yangcheng treasure appreciation event.

The police can find out with a little closer inspection.

If this is involved in a transnational cultural relics lawsuit, then the treasure appreciation activity held by Zhang Yang can be regarded as a big deal.

Although Zhang Yang and the auction company had early warnings of this kind of situation before the event, and also signed some exemption clauses, it is up to the judge to decide whether they can really be exempted.

Now that it has been hit, it is best to ask clearly, so as not to know the reason when you go to check the water meter in the future.

"Hey, what's this, the big one is still to come!"

Baoyou didn't seem to believe it when he saw Zhang Yang's expression, smiled mysteriously, and took out a document from his pocket.

It reads "Liangzhu Forum Sumerian Civilization Propaganda Group Member".

"It's the real thing." Baoyou pointed to the above URL and said: "We built an official website overnight, and you can see my avatar on this website." ”

"I'll go, is it so big to play now?"

Zhang Yang admitted that he was a little shocked.

If there is no problem with the documents, then the purpose of Baoyou's visit to this exchange meeting is already obvious:

It is to screen out those potential buyers among the people who attend the meeting.

Zhang Yang glanced at the old man who was amazed at the bronze antelope statue, the statue of Bao Youyou has caught a fish?

"So you're selling these things now, it's legal, isn't it?"

"Of course, with our funds, it's still very simple to buy a few locals in a war-torn area."

Baoyou raised his eyebrows at Zhang Yang, and said in an ambiguous tone:

"Master Zhang, are you interested in joining my team?"

"Your team?" Zhang Yang thought of the incident at the Egyptian Art Museum.

Because there are too many cultural relics involved, and it is also related to the beautiful country, after Captain Liu reported it, people from the province came directly.

Zhang Yang was thinking about how to preserve the mummy after the coffin was opened, but he was sent away with a pennant.

The only gain may be that everyone in the criminal police team led by Captain Liu is sure of one thing:

Curator Zhang is a good person and can handle it.

Now, Baoyou wants to pull himself into the gang again, but he has changed from the cultural relics of ancient Egypt to the cultural relics of the Sumerian civilization.

"Forget it, I'm just here to join in the fun." Zhang Yang temporarily rejected Baoyou's kindness.

"It's okay, I understand."

Baoyou's reaction to Zhang Yang had long been expected, and he took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Yang:

"If you figure it out, feel free to contact me, I am willing to cooperate with you at any time."

Zhang Yang glanced at the information on the business card, an international art trading company, Mr. Cui.

There is no office location on it, not even a serious mailbox, just a contact number, at first glance, it is a leather bag company, and it may even be an air company.

But this is the kind of person who is planning to transport a large number of cultural relics of Sumerian civilization to China in the name of exhibitions, and then quietly digest them in the domestic market.

Sure enough, the bold are killed and the cowardly are starved.

The two of them were talking, and the uncle was already playing almost it.

He coughed lightly, and after attracting the attention of the two, he walked opposite Mr. Cui and said slowly:

"Look, this bronze is a little wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The shape, pulp, and bronze material are not quite right, I think ......"

"Hahaha." Mr. Cui laughed directly and interrupted the other party: "Don't think about it." ”

"Do you know what you're talking about, old man? I made it very clear on stage that this thing was identified by experts. ”

"It's a coincidence, this expert is on the scene, although you are old, but you still have to hit your face, you have to stand firm!"

"Come, Master Zhang!"

“…… Eh, what about Master Zhang? ”

Mr. Cui suddenly found that a handsome guy who was so handsome just now suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, in the conference room, because of the presence of Sister Gao, the social cow, all four of them had seats.

After Zhang Yang sat down, he casually handed the business card given to him by Mr. Cui to Chu Ziqiang.

"Is this your new vest?" Xiao Chu asked as he looked at the identity on the business card.

"No, it's an international antiquities dealer, but they're selling foreign antiquities."

After listening to Zhang Yang's explanation, Xiao Chu glanced at him with deep meaning:

"Brother Yang, do you have such a wide range of channels now?"

"What's not channeled, people sell some West Asian bronzes, murals, clay pots and the like, buy his treasure to be fresh, anyway, I'm not interested."

"I gave you this business card to ask you to find someone to pay attention to, and be careful when people leave, and take away the domestic cultural relics by the way."

"Oh~" Xiao Chu suddenly realized: "It's like a taxi running a long distance, it's too much of a loss to be empty on the return trip, so I want to carry people along the way." ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhang Yang nodded.

On stage, the exchange continued.

may be because of Mr. Cui's proofing, and now everyone on stage has begun to use props.

Everyone is here to participate in the forum, and who doesn't know to bring some of their own treasures.

Someone went directly back to the hotel and pulled the suitcase over, and in front of everyone, took out the treasures in the collection and displayed them.

"Boss, why do you suddenly feel a little bit like a trend towards the Treasure Appreciation Conference?" Sister Gao whispered in Zhang Yang's ear.

"Because of academic things, no one can convince anyone, but the collection is different, it can really distinguish the superior."

"Is what they took out real?"

Sister Gao pointed to the three-legged bag-footed pottery on the stage and asked.

This kind of red pottery pottery is one of the landmark cultural relics of Liangzhu culture, and it is collected in many museums in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The shape is a bit similar to that of the pottery or bronze mustache, and the base is a bag-shaped foot, except that the pottery beard has more handles and a convenient mouth edge for pouring soup.

"Of course it's an imitation."

Zhang Yang thought to himself, if it was true, it would be even more lively today.

"It's not just imitation, but it's not Liangzhu culture."

"It should be pottery from the Dawenkou culture." Zhang Yang explained with a smile.

The middle-aged man on the stage was still introducing the origin of his collection, but he didn't know that the more he said, the more outrageous it became.

Chu Ziqiang, who was on the side, always paid attention to Zhang Yang's reaction, and heard him say that the things taken out on the stage came from Dawenkou, and Xiao Chu took out the photos he took at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum a few days ago.

It's strange that the cultural relics in the museum are really similar to this pottery.

"Don't be confused, these two cultures have intersections, but the pottery of the Dawenkou culture has a more obvious totem worship of the sacred bird."

"Do you look at the teacher's pottery in the stand, like a bird with its beak held high?"

Thank you for the 100 coins reward from ZCB!
