Chapter 161: The coffin board of the Han Dynasty

Shaolin Temple's Weapons ...... Is this a novelty?

A lecturer in charge of the invigilation was secretly suspicious and turned on his phone. After flipping through three or two times, I found the relevant link: Shaolin Temple double hook, also known as tiger head double hook, handguard double hook.

Looking at the list again, the appraisal comment is just two words: halberd, and then look at the signature, Guo Zhenqiang.

The lecturer frowned: "Professor Zhang, the name Guo Zhenqiang...... Sounds familiar, huh? ”

"I am a member of the Beijing Collectors Association, and I am good at miscellaneous ancient coins, if I want to talk about my eyesight and appreciation, there must be some, and it is no problem to call an expert."

"Or an expert? But ......"

The teacher paused for a moment and looked at the appraisal results of the wolf Xian and the tiger head double hook: "This appraisal comment...... Too refined? ”

Professor Zhang glanced at him with a strange expression: Teacher Ge, are you really good at talking?

Wolf Xian is just that, Li Dingan did talk in detail, of course, you can also understand that experts cherish ink like gold and are too lazy to write so much.

But what about the latter one?

The halberd is a halberd, the hook is a hook, and the difference is 108,000 miles, what does it have to do with refining or not?

It is clear that the expert's eyesight is not good, the level of appreciation is not enough, and he looks away...... To put it bluntly, it is a big cut worse than Li Dingan.

But after all, he is a student of this department, and Professor Zhang is not good at praising directly. just smiled implicitly: "Maybe Li Ding'an has studied more weapons, so he happens to know ......."

Is it like this?

Teacher Ge tilted his head, skeptical. He always felt that Professor Zhang was fooling him.

He thought for a moment, then rolled his eyes and looked at the list, "Professor Zhang, can I let him see one?" ”

Professor Zhang was immediately happy: "Teacher Ge, of course you can!" ”

"That's good!"

Well, you'll have to pick a harder one.

Turning his mind, when he saw something, Mr. Ge's eyes lit up.

It just so happened that Li Ding'an finished looking at a wood carving and paused.

Teacher Ge looked at the gap and pointed to the list: "Li Ding'an, look at this one with the number 74." ”

Gao Shengdong, who was following him, introduced in a low voice: "This is Teacher Ge from the Han and Tang Dynasties......"

"Hello Mr. Ge!" Li Dingan said hello, and Gao Shengdong also found something along the serial number.

Li Ding'an walked over, Xing Zongfeng followed behind with a camera, and as the camera moved, images of 74 cultural relics appeared on the big screen.

It is a porcelain, or a remnant, but this time the information is marked in more detail: white porcelain lotus pod, sprinkler nozzle, the age is the Qing Dynasty, and the origin is JDZ. I also made a note: the imitation of the kiln white porcelain.

It is not difficult to recognize it, it is a lotus canopy with half a thick stem, about five or six centimeters in diameter, two centimeters thick in stems, and about four centimeters long.

There are indeed eyes on it, and the flower stems are hollow......

Li Dingan hasn't read the information and doesn't know what is written on it. But just at a glance, he had a rough judgment, and his expression became strange.

Since this teacher Ge is from the Han and Tang dynasties, he must also know porcelain, so there is no reason why he can't recognize this thing?

"What's wrong?" Teacher Ge smiled, "Can't recognize it?" ”

"If you can recognize it, it's too ......"

Well, it's too simple......

When the words came to his lips, Li Dingan turned a corner again: "It's just too rare...... This is a shower for bathing, and the age should be the Northern Song Dynasty, and the origin is Xingyao......"

What's the matter, the information says it's a sprinkler head?

This is okay, because this thing can indeed be used to water flowers and bathe, and there were porcelain shower heads in the Sui and Tang dynasties, so it can't be absolutely said who is right and who is wrong.

The problem is that the list also gives the origin and age in detail, which is clearly the JDZ of the Qing Dynasty, but Li Dingan said that this thing is from Xingyao in the Song Dynasty?

And he just glanced at it casually, and he dared to be so sure, which was very terrifying.

Mr. Ge was also very surprised, he instinctively squinted his eyes and looked at the photos on the big screen: That's right, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a fixed kiln?

According to his judgment, this should be something from the Ming Dynasty Dingyao, anyway, it is definitely not from the Qing Dynasty JDZ. Therefore, the expert must have made a mistake in identification, which is why he specially picked this one, wanting to try Li Ding'an's condition.

But according to Li Ding'an, not only the experts were wrong, but even he was wrong?

"You students are a bit awesome, aren't you?"

Surprised, he whispered again: "Professor Zhang, why do I look like a Dingyao...... Look at it, Xing kiln or Ding kiln? ”

I looked at ...... It's also like a kiln......

I thought so in my heart, but Professor Zhang didn't dare to say it, just shook his head: "It's hard to say!" ”

Teacher Ge leaned back: With you as a professor, all you talk about?

Professor Zhang couldn't laugh or cry, and explained in a low voice: "What you teach is Han and Tang archaeology, don't you know that Dingyao and Xingyao are in the same line, and the two use the same firing process?" Although there are some differences, there is not much in this one. ”

"That's right, that's what I think too...... Teacher Ge thought deeply, "But that student in your department, are you sure this is Xingyao?" ”

He's not a normal person......

Thinking like this, Professor Zhang said perfunctorily: "He may have other methods of judgment, right?" ”

"It's possible...... What about that era, how did he decide? ”

"I don't know, but in my opinion, the age is even more difficult to judge. Because from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the kiln has been burning things. Over time, the process and characteristics have changed, but they are not obvious. Therefore, if you want to have a clear judgment, you must look carefully, and maybe you will have to use other methods......"

Teacher Ge squinted his eyes: Use the instrument to use the instrument, and "other methods"?

It's not just that he and Professor Zhang are not sure, as long as teachers and students who know a little about porcelain, they all have similar thoughts: the conclusion given by Li Ding'an is equivalent to directly overturning the original identification results.

So who's right and who's wrong?

Teacher Ge looked at it for a while, but still didn't see the reason, so he simply asked directly: "Li Ding'an, you said this is Xingyao in the Song Dynasty?" Why can't it be a fixed kiln of the same period or later? ”

Kiln?

Not to mention, it's really easy to get confused......

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "The main reason is that there are differences in firing methods, resulting in subtle differences in appearance: both use the overfiring method, and both use the coloring technology of 'makeup soil', but Xingyao uses the 'box body firing porcelain method', and the Ding kiln uses boxless naked firing."

It is precisely because of the more or less buckle the box, resulting in a difference of hundreds of degrees between the furnace temperature of the two, so from the perspective of glaze medicine, Xingyao is a low-temperature glaze, and Dingyao is a semi-high-temperature glaze. Therefore, there is a difference in the enamel of the two, the most intuitive is the color difference:

Because the temperature is not enough, the porcelain of Xingyao kiln will flash blue gray or light yellow under strong light, so it is also called "green-like" and "snow-like" in history, but the kiln is different, it is pure white ......"

After a pause, he turned his head again: "This senior brother, can you borrow a flashlight and a magnifying glass!" ”

"Absolutely!"

The doctoral student who was listening attentively handed over the tools, and Li Ding'an first turned on the flashlight and shone it on the glaze, and then brought the magnifying glass closer.

It wasn't too clear at first, but Li Ding'an adjusted the angle several times, and a subtle light yellow color flashed on the surface of the enamel.

For a moment, Mr. Ge was stunned, Professor Zhang was also stunned, including the students of the Department of Ceramics.

They stared at the big screen, all of them dumbfounded with their mouths open.

It's not that I'm surprised that Li Ding'an knows a lot, because what he said is just basic knowledge, and anyone who understands porcelain understands it.

The question is, with so many professors and graduate students present, who can spot such a difference without the help of tools?

In general, it is necessary not only to borrow instruments, but also to be professional optical instruments. If you don't look at it, even Li Dingan adjusted it several times to find the right angle?

Therefore, Mr. Li's eyesight is really amazing...... You can't do it without admiration.

Teacher Ge was stunned for a long time: No wonder Professor Wu dared to let him go up and accept so many people's questions?

This student not only has something, but also a lot of things......

Sighing, he asked again, "What about those days?" ”

"Teacher Ge, since we have determined that this thing came from Xingyao, it can basically be determined that the age is roughly after the Sui Dynasty and before the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Of course!"

Because the Xing kiln did not start burning white porcelain until the Sui Dynasty, it stopped burning at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Then let's look at the shape of the vessel: there was no such shape in the Sui and Yuan dynasties, and similar kettles and showers were unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, but there are porcelain pillars used for support under the lotus canopy, and the lotus stems are relatively thick, which is completely different from this. Only the Song Dynasty has ever found this kind of artifact......"

"Anything unearthed?" Teacher Ge frowned and lowered his voice, "Professor Zhang, why don't I have an image?" ”

Professor Zhang didn't dare to squeak because he didn't have an imprint.

"It's not a real thing, it's a painting: a brick carving of a tomb from the Song and Jin dynasties found in Qingshui County, Gansu Province, has a picture of a boy bathing, and there is this kind of shower on it......

The other is a silk fan made by Su Hanchen, a court painter in the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, "Lady Bathing Makeup", which is also a similar utensil modeling...... Today, it is in the collection of the Treasure Island Palace Museum......"

Hearing Li Ding'an say this, no one squeaked, at least the students didn't dare to squeak.

There were few tombs in the Song and Jin dynasties, and most of the lectures in the course were about architecture and structure, and the murals and brick carvings involved were mainly more prominent. So even if this painting appears in the textbook, no one cares what shape the shower on it is.

As for the Forbidden City Museum on Treasure Island, it is even more inaccessible......

Professor Wu nodded with satisfaction: "Go on!" ”

"Okay, Professor Wu......"

"Li Ding'an, what is this?"

A female graduate student pointed to something that was blue-gray in color and in the shape of a long column, about five centimeters in diameter and about ten centimeters long.

The stubble is obvious, it should be broken, so it is easy to recognize: this thing is carved out of stone.

It's a little far away, but you can still see a word engraved on the stone pillar, it is estimated that the year is not short, the handwriting is a little blurry, and it looks like a "after" word.

At the same time, a synchronous camera of the real thing appeared on the large screen. Looking at the list again, the identification conclusion given by the experts is that it was a medicine pestle of the Qing Dynasty.

This is a bit perfunctory, and it also shows that the eyesight of this group of experts is really not good: because the ancient medicine pestle is rarely made of stone.

Not to mention tiger bones, rhino horns, and medicinal materials such as gold and stone minerals, even rhizomes, which can't be pounded with a stone pestle a few times, and the smashed stone slag is definitely more than the medicinal powder, so how can this medicine be used?

Therefore, most of the medicine pestles are made of metal, including the copper pestles unearthed in the Shang, Zhou, and pre-Qin periods.

It would be even more nonsense to say that this one is earlier, something from the Stone Age...... It's engraved with letters.

It is probably for this reason that this female graduate student is a little strange......

After thinking about it, Li Dingan also walked over.

The shape of this thing is a little strange, the top half is a little thin, and the bottom half is thicker. The shape is very symmetrical, and the left and right sides are also symmetrical, and it is obviously carefully polished.

If you look closely, there are lines at the bottom, which look like lines and hair...... Well, hair?

Li Ding settled down for a moment: Why is this thing more and more wrong the more you look at it?

Instinctively, he glanced at the word again: this is not the queen, but like the word "month" of Han Li, with a little arc at the top, and a lack of vertical hook on the right, and it just so happens that the right side is broken stubble.

There seem to be traces of strokes underneath, which roughly resemble a horizontal stroke.

What is a month plus a horizontal?

"And"?

I'm going, it's Mr. Horn...... Let's just say why doesn't look right? Well, or Han Li?

Li Dingan was stunned: In the Han Dynasty, this thing was not for women to solve their physiological needs, but for sacrifices......

Besides, this thing is made of stone?

Suddenly, he lifted his spirits, picked up the object, and opened the system with his hand.

That's right, it's this thing, and it's indeed from the Han Dynasty, but it happens to lose the most symbolic part of the front end, so it's not easy to recognize.

The point is, the system says that this thing is freshly unearthed?

Good guy, this is a Han tomb?

If the supernumerary archaeological team did it, this life would be over......

Li Dingan remained motionless, as if in a daze, and began to discuss again in the examination room.

"It's ...... Unrecognizable? ”

"I guess it's really hard to judge this thing......"

"But that's good enough...... At least the shower just now, most graduate students don't recognize it. ”

"Also graduate ...... You ask a few lecturers present, before Li Dingan said it, who dared to say that it was fired from the Xing kiln? ”

"That's ......"

While discussing, Li Dingan raised his head again and raised the thing in his hand towards Lin Siqi: "Where did you get this?" ”

Lin Siqi squinted his eyes and looked: "Stone carving? Oh, it was excavated by the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics from Qing University, and it was said that it had no research value, so it ...... Well, just dealt with ......"

Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics...... Qing Da ...... Dispose...... Awesome, Senior Sister Lin!

He sighed and handed the thing in front of Wu Xiang: "Teacher, look at this character, it doesn't look like the word 'and' in Lishu?" ”

The word "and", or is it a book?

Looking at the shape again, Wu Xiang also reacted: This is a reproductive totem?

Well, Qingda dug up the ...... Haha, Han Tomb?

Gee...... Li Ding'an's eyesight?

To tell the truth, if Li Dingan didn't remind him, he would be able to recognize it, and it would take a lot of time......

Wu Xiang sighed with emotion, and directly put the list in his hand: "It is estimated that there are still a lot, look for it...... Gao Shengdong, Xing Zongfeng, stop shooting, come over and help...... Bai Ru, come and register ......"

And quite a few...... Meaning, really dug up the Han tomb from the Qing Dynasty?

Li Dingan was stunned and subconsciously took the list.

Other professors and students were confused:

"What's going on, what are you watching?

"There must be something wrong with that stone pestle."

"It's probably a good thing, maybe it's the Shang and Zhou dynasties or the Stone Age."

"You have a problem with your eyes, is it engraved in italics?"

Is it in italics...... Why does it look a bit like a Lishu, and a bit like Jin Wen?

Teacher Ge frowned: "Professor Zhang, the word just now doesn't look like the reverse 'Hou', or 'Si'?" ”

Professor Zhang shook his head: "I don't know! ”

Through the screen, it is definitely not as clear as seeing the real thing, and Professor Zhang really didn't recognize it.

But as soon as Professor Wu said, "Gao Shengdong, stop shooting", he knew that he had found something good.

And there's more than one......

While guessing, an exclamation came from the side: "Li Ding'an, what do you say this is...... Coffin plates from the Han Dynasty? ”
