Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The full name of Chu State's Six Mountain Mirror is Chu-style Six Mountain Mirror during the Warring States Period.

At that time, Tang Lanxuan didn't think much about it, thinking it was a cultural relic brought over anonymously by some patriotic entrepreneur.

Just take out your flashlight and start studying.

This mirror is round in shape. From the outside, the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, the casting is meticulous, and the decoration can only be described as miraculous.

The texture on it is strange and elegant.

The mirror has a three-string button, and a concave annular band is formed around the outer circle of the button.

The theme pattern of the entire mirror is the six mountain pattern, which is also supplemented by the feather-like ground pattern, which is an extremely rare composite pattern.

The so-called six mountain pattern refers to the pattern with the word "mountain".

During the Warring States Period, the "mountain" shape, which was very popular, was often used as a decorative pattern on bronze mirrors.

The common ones are three mountains, four mountains and five mountains, with six mountains being the rarest.

In fact, a large number of Shanzi mirrors have been unearthed, and they have been unearthed in a wide area, from the Northern Yan Kingdom to the Southern Chu State.

But the most famous one is the mountain-shaped mirror unearthed from the tomb of Chu.

Among the unearthed mountain-shaped mirrors, the fourth-mountain mirror has the largest number, followed by the five-mountain mirror and the three-mountain mirror.

The Six Mountain Mirror is the rarest.

In fact, the "mountain" character pattern does not represent mountains, but the corresponding research was mentioned in "Tenghua Pavilion Mirror Pu" written by Liang Ting in the Qing Dynasty.

The "mountain" in Shanzijing is actually just an ancient pattern, which may represent a certain font, but it definitely does not mean mountain.

It usually presents a left-handed or right-handed arrangement structure, and the left and right vertical columns are retracted to form a small acute-angled triangle shape that is very similar to the character "山" in regular script, hence the name.

The six-mountain pattern in his hand is square and majestic, and the ground pattern is meticulous, beautiful and well-defined.

At that time, Tang Lanxuan was astonished and believed that this was a masterpiece from 2000 years ago. He also said with emotion: "The copper smelting technology during the Warring States Period was really brilliant. After a thousand years, the color is still as new and radiant!"

Tang Lanxuan immediately handed over the Liushan Mirror to the people in the Cultural Relics Research Department and asked them to study its internal origins. He was the one who found the post office, hoping to find out who the donor was.

Not only to express his gratitude, but also to know where he got the Six Mountain Mirror, so that he might be able to find more fine products.

Lin Ran's expression changed immediately when he heard this. He probably guessed what happened next.

He quickly said to Tang Lanxuan: "Teacher, you wouldn't say that this mirror was forged by Chen Cheng, right?"

Tang Lanxuan's eyes were filled with sadness: "That's exactly it."

"That's not right! Teacher, there should be many mature methods for identifying the Six Mountain Mirror." Lin Ran replied. They had done a lot of research on the bronze mirrors from the Warring States Period, so they would not be easily deceived.

"I verified it from all angles, including the green patina on the surface and the details of the Six Mountain Mirror. All of them have been checked."

"Even the green patina has not been removed, just to preserve the original flavor of the Chu-style Liushan Mirror from the Warring States Period."

"I checked everything carefully. Both the materials and workmanship are all in the style of the Warring States Period."

"Then how did you know it was Chen Cheng who did it?" Lin Ran seemed to be looking for the answer.

"Because just a week later, I received a letter from Chen Cheng."

"He told me in the letter that the package was from him, and it perfectly restored the details of the Liushan Mirror that I had studied with him before, and even improved it. The most disgusting thing is that he actually included the production method in the letter. .”

Lin Ran frowned when he heard this.

What exactly does Chen Cheng want? He is no longer ordinary evil.

Tang Lanxuan stood by the window, with his hands behind his back, staring out the window unblinkingly.

He seemed to be recalling the scene at that time.

Lin Ran noticed that every movement of Tang Lanxuan seemed to be trembling.

He immediately walked to Tang Lanxuan, fearing that if the teacher didn't pay attention, he would faint from being too excited.

He had really misjudged Chen Cheng. Lin Ran still had a certain fondness for Chen Cheng's outspoken character during the treasure fight.

I didn't expect that there was such a dark person behind him.

Moreover, for such an important matter, he actually sent it directly to Tang Lanxuan in the letter.

We must know that if these craftsmanship are spread, people with a little knowledge can copy them. When the Liushan Mirror is counterfeited, it will be a devastating blow to real archaeological work.

"Teacher, don't get excited." Lin Ran could probably feel Tang Lanxuan's mood.

This is truly a heart-wrenching apprenticeship experience.

Let alone Tang Lanxuan, I am afraid that even if he knew that his apprentice used the knowledge he learned from him to do evil, he would not be able to forgive this disciple.

Tang Lanxuan is a person who pursues historical truth. It is not surprising that he has such an evaluation of Chen Cheng.

After waiting for a while, Tang Lanxuan calmed down.

He turned around and looked at Lin Ran and said, "The only thing I'm glad about is that in the next eight years, I didn't see any fake Liushan Mirror, not even the genuine one, so I think Chen Cheng might have just I did this just to get angry."

"I'm about to retire now. Now that he has returned to the capital, I also want to see him again and ask him what's going on." Tang Lanxuan stopped what he was doing, held Lin Ran's hand, and said, "Lin Ran , please do me this favor, please.”

Lin Ran could only nod, feeling a little uncomfortable looking at Tang Lanxuan's figure.

"Teacher, I will definitely find a way to bring him here." Lin Ran said, "But I have a grudging request. Can you let me see that mirror?"

Lin Ran thought to himself that maybe the answer to everything lies in the mirror.

He also wanted to see what the level of counterfeiting technology was that could make it look like the real thing.

"I asked the people in the research department to look for it." Tang Lanxuan said. After knowing that it was a fake, the people in the research department were very disappointed and threw it into the scrap warehouse.

It has been eight years, and I don’t know if I can still find it in the scrap warehouse.

Lin Ran could entrust Yang Jianlong to handle the matter of finding someone.

But with Chen Cheng's character, even if he went to visit him, he might not be willing to see him.

The best way to bring him to Tang Lanxuan is to see through the flaw in the mirror and return the fake to him.

Tang Lanxuan shook his head and said: "Lin Ran, although I know it is a fake, I can't see the secret. I don't know if you can see through it. The identification work is left to you."

"Yeah." Lin Ran felt a little uncomfortable hearing the teacher say such words.

He knew that Tang Lanxuan had always been very kind to him and helped him with everything he had.

It turns out there is such a story behind it.

In his previous life, he had no chance to repay Tang Lanxuan, but now he can finally untie his knot.

Lin Ran was full of confidence in appraising treasures.

"Teacher, leave it to me!"

"Ah."
