To be honest, this thing has somewhat touched on Li Dingan's knowledge blind spot.

It is Mongolian, yes, and it is also related to Tibetan, but it is completely different from the language and script that are still used by ethnic minorities such as Inner Mongolia and XZ.

After pondering for a long time, he used information such as the heavenly and terrestrial branches to deduce: this is the Pas-pa script created during the period of Kublai Khan. The text is quoted from the Tibetan alphabet and Sanskrit, but it is used to spell Mongolian, and the writing borrows from the Chinese character: Fang's!

Whether it is reading, writing, or memorizing, it is not ordinarily difficult. Although it was designated by Kublai Khan as the only language and script of the Mongol and Yuan Empire, it has not been implemented, and only the official use of it.

By the time Mengyuan perished, it completely withdrew from the stage of history and became a dead text.

Therefore, nine times out of ten, this thing came from the official institution of Mengyuan.

This is one of them.

The second is the nature of this thing: exploring mountains and rivers, looking for dragons and caves...... Although the Yuan Dynasty was also one of the Central Plains dynasties, the first was a minority regime, and the second was that it lasted too shortly, and the official and private people did not believe in it very much.

If you are a Han person, you can engrave Chinese characters directly, so you don't have to be so troublesome......

The third is the material and process: it is not the orange of copper, nor the light green of bronze, but golden. Therefore, it is mixed with silver and gold, and the proportion is about seven copper, two silver, and one gold.

Very thick, with half a finger on the foot, excellent workmanship: no burrs, no honeycombs, very smooth surface. The description is cast first, then hammered, then grinded, and then carved.

The type of process is only secondary, the key is that the strength of this proportion of gold, silver and copper alloy is very high, but the toughness is extremely poor, of course, with the current technology, of course, there is no problem, but in ancient times, the difficulty of carving is quite high.

But look at the handwriting again: the depth is even, and the font is regular...... Therefore, not only is it officially made, but nine times out of ten it is an internal court institution.

Third: the shape is very strange.

There are many schools of Feng Shui, but they can be roughly divided into two schools: rational and situational, the former focuses on theory, and the latter focuses on practice.

It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the study of Feng Shui prevailed on Hong Kong Island, and some people tried to integrate the three schools and create a comprehensive school.

But that has already arrived after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and no matter how Li Ding'an looks at it, this thing is all before the Ming Dynasty, but it has the characteristics of the three factions of the comprehensive faction, which makes people very strange.

Fourth, the magnetic needle is fixed.

It's not broken, it's not rusty, it's dead.

Feng Shui is Kanyu, also known as the art of phase and earth, the needle can't be moved, how can it be embarrassed, how can it be phased?

Li Ding'an doubted that the compass should point to a certain geographical range or coordinates.

As for the specifics, there is no way to calculate.

Not to mention that it is Mongolian, even if it is a Chinese character, because you must know which school this compass belongs to, and know the secret formula of this school.

It's the same as opening a safe and requiring a password.

So, this thing is rare......

Li Dingan looked very carefully, and the surroundings were very quiet.

He Anbang and Ma Xianming both held cigarettes and lighters, but they never lit them, obviously for fear of making a noise.

Next to it is even more exaggerated, the waiter came to pour tea, but it was still several meters away, and he was driven back by the beautiful female assistant.

I feel that the city leaders have a meeting, and they don't have this battle?

The most important thing is the people next to him: Ma Xianming, Wei Zili, Yao Chuan, Cheng Yongquan...... All of them are well-known experts and authorities in the industry, why didn't He Anbang let them see it, but gave it directly to this young man?

And all of them look so focused?

Zuo Peng was more curious about Li Ding'an, even more than the cultural relics themselves......

He looked left and right and touched Ma Xianming: "This aura is so strong?" ”

It is not a strong aura, but a high ability: whether it is eyesight, identification ability, knowledge reserve, and research ability.

Too professional, too comprehensive, and very hands-on: often able to solve the most complex problems in the most direct way.

He has a high level of comprehension and can speak clearly in the most concise language.

Therefore, these people are so quiet, not only out of respect, but also for the purpose of learning.

I and He Anbang can not study, but we can't disturb other colleagues, right?

Of course, you have to be quiet......

Just not knowing how to explain, Li Dingan straightened his waist and exhaled again.

He Anbang took a look: "How is it?" ”

Li Dingan shook his head: "It's hard to decide!" ”

Everyone who heard this sentence was stunned for a moment: Is there anything else that Li Dingan can't break?

Zuo Peng was also stunned for a moment: What is the difference between this sentence "It's hard to break" and "I didn't see it"?

The eyes of several escorts gradually became strange: That's it?

Compared to the previous stance, this result is really surprising......

He Anbang and Ma Xianming were also surprised: "What's going on? ”

"The shape is too weird, it's nondescript, and it's a lost Baspa, so I can't be sure of the specific purpose of this thing."

What else can a compass do, of course, is to measure feng shui.

And no one told you what it was for......

"What about the others?"

"The material is a gold-silver-copper alloy with an approximate ratio of 1:2:7, which is very strong...... The craft is mainly engraving, and combined with the process of embossing shallow embossing and hammer carving high embossing, these three techniques were founded in the Song Dynasty and matured in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

However, the metallurgical process was more advanced during the Ming and Qing dynasties...... To put it simply, there will not be too many bubbles, and the process of tempering hammer forging is less than this one, and combined with the Ba Si Pa Wen, eighty percent of this thing comes from the inner court institution of the Yuan Dynasty...... Precise point: Most of the Imperial Artifacts Bureau of the Division is left behind, and the game is spinning! ”

Zuo Peng was stunned: The imperial vessel?

Didn't you just say that you can't deduce the specific purpose of this thing?

As a result, in a blink of an eye, the type of process, the production organization, and the approximate age were determined.

And it's not ordinarily fast, it's only ten minutes before and after, and in the field of cultural relics identification, it's no different from a glance.

But the tone is so sure?

Zuo Peng thought for a while, "I know most of the left-behind divisions, and I also know about the artifact bureau, but the rotation is ...... Why is it not impressed? ”

After a pause, he looked at the colleague next to him again: "Do you have any impressions?" ”

Several colleagues shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

"Yuan Yingzong succeeded to the throne before the establishment of the autocratic and exquisite gold treasure artifacts, the sense of existence is not strong, and the existence time is also short, less than ten years before and after, so there is no record in the "Yuan History...... But at least it is certain that it is indeed produced by the inner court of Dayuan. ”

"What about the exact date?"

"Emperor Yuan Taiding period!"

The others were still recalling who Emperor Yuan Tai was, but Zuo Peng's eyes widened: "From the time he ascended the throne to the time he died of illness, Emperor Taiding lived for four years...... That is, the production period of this thing is only four years? ”

"Right...... Because Kublai Khan believed in Tibetan Buddhism, he used a lot of Sanskrit when he created the Phags-Pa script...... Emperor Taiding also believed in Esoteric Buddhism, but he grew up in Mobei, his cultural level was not high, and he basically had no contact with Sanskrit, so after ascending the throne, he abolished some of the Sanskrit letters in the Phags-pa script and replaced them with the traditional Mongolian alphabet......"

"After Emperor Taiding died of illness, the battle between the two capitals occurred in Mengyuan, and then Yuan Wenzong ascended the throne, because of the internal division of Mengyuan and Yuan, the imperial court was stretched, and Yuan Wenzong abolished the rotation of autocratic Jinbao exquisite utensils......"

Li Ding'an pointed to the compass: "Look at this, there are several places marked with the twenty-four directions, all of which are in Uighur Mongolian (traditional Mongolian), which can basically confirm that this thing came from after Emperor Taiding ascended the throne...... However, after four years, the rotation bureau was abolished, and with the level of craftsmanship after that, other institutions and folk carvings could not be carved to this level of exquisiteness, so the specific casting time could only be between these four years......"

Everyone nearby craned their necks to take a look.

To be honest, not to mention distinguishing the differences between the various periods of the Pas-Pa text, there are very few people who have understood it.

But the look was very strange: all the people here were cultural relics workers, and they were studying history, especially Zuo Peng and a few colleagues: all locals.

It is normal that the Phags-Pa text has been lost, and it is normal not to understand it, but it is strange that they do not know the origin of these two histories?

Spin creation time, spin abolition time......

Several people looked at each other, and Li Dingan smiled again: "Similarly, these two paragraphs are not recorded in the "History of the Yuan", but are only recorded in the "New Edition of the History of the Yuan". ”

Zuo Peng suddenly realized: "The New Edition of Yuan History" was written by an individual, and the reason for writing the book is a bit complicated, and it was not included in the official history, so it is not very valued by the academic community, and there are really few people who study it.

There are relevant materials in the city library and the bureau, but few people have read them.

It also shows that this young man knows a lot.

Of course, there are also some doubts: how accurate and credible can you deduce from wild histories that are not recognized by the academic community?

But today's occasion is not right, so it's not easy to ask......

As soon as he looked at his face, he knew what was going on, He Anbang smiled and changed the topic: "Lao Zuo, where did the thing come from?" ”

"The collection team collected from the herdsmen, and more than a dozen copper plates, which cost 360,000 yuan!"

"That's not a low price, isn't it?"

"Indeed...... However, there are twelve pieces of the Eight Si Pa Wen Zhi Yuan Tong Treasure, so it is not expensive! ”

Zhiyuan Tongbao, or Ba Si Pawen?

The market price is almost 20,000 yuan, and the quality is more than 30,000 yuan.

"Ding'an gives an estimate!"

"After all, it is produced by the inner court, and there are still four or five hundred thousand, and if the use can be determined, it will be even higher......"

"Haha...... Lao Zuo, did you miss it? ”

He Anbang stretched out his hand: "400,000, the National Museum has received it!" ”

Just when he said it casually, Zuo Peng handed the compass to the secretary: "Teacher Li said four or five hundred thousand, and there is a fifty ...... in the middle The remaining 100,000 were swallowed by you? ”

"Five hundred thousand? Forget it......"

thought he was just clearing the siege, and Zuo Peng didn't care.

Although he was curious about Li Ding'an, now was not the time to ask.

Suppressing the suspicion, he informed the secretary to start the food again.

At the beginning of the feast, the dishes were served like water: roasted whole sheep, shabu mutton, steamed camel paws......

It's all local and has a unique flavor.

It was indeed a stuffy donkey that he drank, but it is estimated that He Anbang had communicated in advance, and Zuo Peng and several colleagues did not persuade him.

Out of politeness, Li Dingan also poured a glass, almost two taels.

I thought it was difficult to swallow, but after half a cup, it was a lot more comfortable.

Ma Xianming told him that this is called soul wine, and the more you drink, the more comfortable it is.

?

There was not much drinking, but the atmosphere was very warm, and it took almost three hours to finish.

When they were about to separate, Li Dingan found Zuo Peng again and took several photos of the compass before and after, saying that he was free to help him study and study.

Suddenly, He Anbang rolled his eyes: "Lao Zuo, 500,000 is not impossible...... I'll leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, if you want to sell it, I'll take it back by the way! ”

"Really buy?"

Of course!

But if Li Dingan thinks that there are strange things, it is definitely not low.

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the batch of things in Baoding, whoever sees it says that the value is average, and Wen Youquan's villa has not been sold for several years.

But the result?

Good guys, all of them were dug up from Xiling, and there are many national treasure-level cultural relics: the red Luduan, the white porcelain Guanyin, and the Dharani Sutra quilt......

He Anbang came casually: "There are relatively few ethnic cultural relics in the museum, and you can receive one piece!" ”

"Tsk, you're so rich......"

After a pause, Zuo Peng felt that something was wrong again: no matter how rich he was, it would be 500,000, not 5,000, let alone 500......

"How do I feel wrong...... He Guan, that compass is really worth 500,000? ”

Nonsense is not, when did Li Dingan walk by?

He Anbang remained silent: "It's hard to say, I have to find a place to identify it again when I go back!" ”

Zuo Peng was stunned for a moment: Ma Xianming, Yao Chuan, Wei Zili, Cheng Yongquan...... Nearly half of the top experts of the National Museum are here, who else do you have to ask for identification?

And you have to find other places to identify...... Speaking out, you can laugh off the big teeth of your peers!

Understood, it's definitely not worth half a million......

"Huh!"

"Hurry up, sell it or not?"

Zuo Peng shook his head violently: "Don't sell it!" ”

Did you know it would be like this?

Dry Wenbo, looking at the face and looking at the color is just the basic skill, his intention to pick up the leak is so obvious, no matter how much Zuo Peng drinks, he has to make a mistake and mutter: Do you want to go to the treasure?

As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely not sell it......

He Anbang sighed and patted Zuo Peng's shoulder again: "Keep it well, it is estimated that it is a good thing, maybe you can set up a project, if it is above the provincial level, let alone it, just fill the gap in your city!" ”

What's it, the project?

Only projects above the municipal level can be called projects, only the subject can be established, and only the following can be called relevant research, all of which are self-funded and self-developed.

After the research is completed, depending on the research results and the level of the paper, the higher department will subsidize a little as appropriate.

To be honest, I haven't seen what the project is like in years......

Also provincial?

He perked up, and hurriedly took out a cigarette case and handed it over: "He Guan, no kidding...... I can't hear the word 'subject' the most......"

"Who's free to joke with you?"

"What the hell is that?"

"I don't know, I have to wait for Li Ding'an to study!"

I don't know if you dare to let me open a project, just because he casually looked at it?

If you think about it carefully, it's only ten minutes before and after, and it's useless to even have a magnifying glass and a flashlight.

I'm going to have to wait for him to study it...... Someone else can't?

Zuo Peng paused: "You person in charge, what's the matter?" ”

"It's not coming, but it's professional and authoritative enough!" He Anbang put the cigarette in his mouth: "National project leader!" ”

What's that?

Just pressed the lighter, Zuo Peng was stunned.

"I*......"

He Anbang screamed strangely, "Lao Zuo, burn my beard to ......" (end of this chapter)
