Jianbao life

Chapter 515 The Fiery Treasure Appraisal Scene

"Did you see that little bastard's expression, you can tell that you don't have any great skills!" Qin Manman quietly said something to Liu Hao who was beside him

Liu Hao looked at Li Heng's expression and smiled triumphantly: "I hope your performance will not disappoint!"

A little bastard, with your little ability, dare to show off in front of these old seniors, it's like a gangster, you don't know how to live or die!

Liu Hongyi and Qin Kangde nodded: "Let's get started!"

The bronze tablet over there has been placed in the center of the crowd. Those people also took turns to come forward to take a look. Li Heng seemed to be very disliked by others. The young people tried to exclude each other, but he was the last one to come up and take a look. of.

However, Li Heng did not show an angry expression, but secretly said to himself, wait and see why he doesn't beat you little bastards properly!
In front of clairvoyant eyes, aren't you still scumbags?

Anyway, he is not very good at appraising bronze wares, so he should use his real ability to take a look at it first, and then use his clairvoyant eyes to see if he is not sure, but with these clairvoyant eyes, he might not be able to see anything.

When it was Li Heng's turn to watch, he already had some answers in his heart.

This bronze 盉 is an ancient wine vessel. It first appeared in the early Shang Dynasty, prevailed in the late Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou Dynasty, and became popular in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

The production methods of bronze wares in different eras are all different. There are great changes in the characteristics, but they are all basically one type of bronze wares. There is absolutely no second bronze ware that is exactly the same.

If there is, one must be forged, or both are imitated by later generations.

Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the method of stamping and making models appeared, that is to say, "standardized" molds, just like the same principle of repeated production with one mold in modern times.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there would be inscriptions on the bronzes, indicating that they were antique works.

Over there, Liu Hao looked at Li Heng with a hesitant look. He held the bronze 盉 in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and then started to use it several times.

Liu Hao looked down upon Li Heng and crossed his arms, looking confident.

He wanted to see what Li Heng would say.

He sneered in his heart: "Little bastard, now you have to pay this sum of money no matter what! If you don't go to heaven, there is no way to hell!"

Didn't she want to take the documents from him, and also want to swallow the millions of him and Qin Manman, dreaming!
Liu Hao is quite confident in himself.

After all, I was at home when I was a child, and I was fascinated by it. Watching those adults appraising treasures, I also learned a lot after studying hard for more than [-] years.

Maybe he is insignificant against his elders and the old man, but he has no problem dealing with Li Heng, a little bastard who has become a monk on the way!
Finally, after waiting for Li Heng to finish reading it, he began to appraise the treasures fervently.

When you get acquainted, you have to show that you are very knowledgeable and talented. Everyone can't wait to empty out everything they can think of in their heads and what they can say in their mouths.

"I think this one is real, and it's a bronze ware from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Look at this... the entire vessel is unique in shape, exquisite in casting, mottled in patina, rusty and bright on the whole body, complicated in decoration, majestic and mysterious in pattern, which is also a characteristic of bronze wares."

"There is such a sentence in Wang Guowei's "Shuo Yu", 'the utensils of water and wine, so the thickness of the wine is also the one'. Yu appeared in the early Shang Dynasty and prevailed from the late Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It can be matched with Jue It can hold wine, and it can also hold water when it is matched with a basin. It is often used in ceremonial occasions such as noble sacrifices and banquets..."

Listening to the young people below expressing their views and opinions one by one, the elders and two old men beside them also looked very pleased. It seemed that they were very satisfied with the performance of these younger generations.

Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the green out of the blue is better than the blue!

With them, I don't worry that the family will decline in the future.

"I think it's true." Liu Hao said, "The skin color of this utensil is even more varied. The copper green alone is not pure copper green. There are also some tea leaves and eel yellow. These colors It's very warm and moist, with a precious color inside and a pearly appearance...I think the valuation should be around [-]."

Liu Hao's words got the approval of a group of young people.

No matter how you look at it, this bronze yu was unearthed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and both its features and shape are the characteristics of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The color of the bronze ware itself is not simply all patina.The colors recorded in the archives of the Manufacturing Office are very rich and colorful, such as stone blue spot, stone green spot, cinnabar spot, pig liver color, copper green, tea powder color, emerald green, crab shell green and eel yellow, etc. kinds of colors.

Bronze is an alloy of red copper and tin or lead. It is called bronze because of its gray color.

But this is not the case with bronze wares. It is actually a misunderstanding to be called "bronze" because it is covered with patina. Some people may wish that such an appearance color is a protective color formed by time and burial environment.

According to the historical data at that time, the primary color of the bronzes is not the turquoise we see now, but golden yellow, which is very close to the color of modern 18K gold. After years of air erosion, it will gradually become The colors people see today.
