Chapter 244

The next day, a director surnamed Wang from Longxi came to Longxi museum with chuchen and the four of them to look for Professor Qin yesterday.

When they came to the museum, Professor Qin had not come, so director Wang took four people around the museum.

Longxi is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation, from which Dadiwan culture, Majiayao culture, Fuxi Culture, Zhou Culture and so on grew up. Moreover, Longxi is also the key and golden section of the ancient Silk Road. Such a special geographical environment and long-standing historical and cultural relics also make Longxi one of the major cultural relic provinces in China.

Longxi museum is a platform to display and understand Longxi culture. It has a rich collection of historical relics, modern cultural relics, ethnic cultural relics, fossils and specimens.

Among them, there are abundant collections from the fossil specimens of Cretaceous to the painted pottery culture of the Neolithic age; from the bronzes, ceramics and jades of Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Silk Road civilization of Han and Tang Dynasties; including the porcelain, wood carvings, silk fabrics and paintings of song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

With such a rich collection, you can't even waste your visit. In particular, the treasure of the town hall, "horse steps on the flying swallow", is really amazing.

Ma TA Fei Yan, also known as Ma Chao long Que and Tong Ben Ma, was unearthed in Longxi in 1969. It is a classic work of artists in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a rare treasure of ancient Chinese sculpture. It represents the highest artistic achievement of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the history of Chinese sculpture.

The image of the whole work is vigorous and handsome, with unique style. Fat fat body health, symmetrical body shape, mane neat, tough and powerful four hooves. It tilts its head back slightly to the left, raises its tail back and opens its mouth as if it is hissing.

The artist's ingenuity is behind the horse.

The weight of the bronze galloping horse is concentrated on the right hind hoof. How can it keep balance? This is a difficult problem. The artist intended to make the head and neck of the horse contract back, so that the center of gravity moved back as far as possible. At the same time, the back hoof of the steed should be extended as far as possible, so that the support point and the center of gravity of the horse are in a vertical line.

In addition, the two legs extended forward and backward and the tail raised, not only make the horse keep balance on the whole, but also make the shape of the horse more beautiful.

In this way, the speed of flying swallow and galloping horse can be seen by all, which vividly shows the magnificent posture of galloping horse.

Such a bold and wonderful idea, romantic technique and exquisite craftsmanship made Chu Chen and his colleagues admire it and then they couldn't help clapping their hands.

Chuchen and they watched the "horse stepping on the flying swallow" for a while, the staff informed them that Professor Qin had arrived.

Under the leadership of the staff, Chu Chen came to a room where many cultural relics were placed. Many of these cultural relics should have been unearthed not long ago. Several staff members were carefully cleaning up the cultural relics. They looked so attentive that they didn't even lift their heads when they came in.

Under the leadership of the staff, Chu Chen came to Professor Qin and saw him enjoying a piece of jade.

Lezi, also known as "Waxi", has two kinds: round and square. It is a jade ornament hanging on the chest or waist. It can be hung alone or combined with other jade ornaments.

Chu Chen saw that the jade lozenge in Professor Qin's hand had many groups of deformed Kui dragon patterns carved on the surface, and a long and thin hole was drilled at both ends for wearing. It was in good condition.

Looking at the appearance of the decorative patterns and the carving techniques, Chu Chen thinks that it should be a piece of jade in the early Warring States period. Thinking of this mission, and seeing the crater features and shell features of this piece of jade, he thinks that it is probably the same as the previous white jade tripod.

After a while, Professor Qin put down his green jade handle, pointed to some bronzes and jades on the table in front of him, and said:

"Xiao Chu, these things here are collected by us according to the clues. We think they should be unearthed at the same time as the white jade tripod. Haven't you seen the white jade tripod? Can you give us a lesson Make a decision

Chu Chen didn't feel disgusted when he asked Professor Qin to identify you. After all, you are an expert, especially an expert in the antique industry, which needs time to accumulate experience. Let alone Professor Qin, even if Chu Chen doesn't have any powers, he doesn't believe it.

"Professor Qin, let me say one thing first. It's OK for me to identify them, but I can only classify them according to the age of things and the characteristics of craters and shells. As for whether they are unearthed from the same crater, I really can't guarantee that they are."

There is a reason why Chu Chen said that. For ancient jade, different pits, different jades, different times, present the same color, and the shade, light, new and old between them are not the same. This is the uniqueness of the genuine ancient jade.

Even if a pair of jades unearthed from the same pit are carefully distinguished, there are obvious differences. Only the contemporary imitations produced in the same furnace, pot and tank will show the same skin color.

It is precisely because of this feature of jade. Although the features of jade unearthed from the same pit are similar, for the sake of caution, Chu Chen really can't say that things must have been unearthed from the same pit.After listening to what Chu Chen said, Professor Qin's impression of Chu Chen has changed. No matter what the level of identification of Chu Chen's cultural relics is, at least his attitude towards cultural relics is rigorous. This attitude is very important when studying cultural relics.

"Ha ha, it doesn't matter. No one is perfect. We're not machines. If we're a little bit different, it's ok as long as it's not too serious."

"All right."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, and then began to look at the cultural relics on the table. There are many kinds of cultural relics, such as jade pendant, sword case, jade pendant, bronze jar, bronze mirror, piano button and so on.

Chu Chen carefully looked at them one by one, and found that there were many excellent works among them. However, since they were the test of Professor Qin, they were not easy. In addition to a few things that were not a pit according to various characteristics, some of them were fakes.

What makes chuchen even more ridiculous is that there is a bronze peck in the middle. This bronze Peck is also true, but to his dismay, it was mainly popular in the southwest of Yunnan in the pre Qin period.

Dian is an ancient kingdom established by ancient ethnic groups in the southwest frontier of China, and its existence time is equivalent to the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Warring States period, Yunnan's copper industry became the pillar industry of the country. It not only includes daily utensils and shellfish storage utensils, but also various weapons and ceremonial weapons.

If you want to say that this piece of copper pecking is also good, it is a "t" shape, long and thin thorn, diamond shaped back end, arc-shaped forward, sharp and easy to peck. The horizontal device of the round ox, with two plump Qianniu carved on both ends of the ox. The cow stands steadily with four feet, high horns, straight chin, high shoulder blades, and high hips, just like a powerful and high spirited posture.

Cattle is a symbol of wealth and power, which has a special significance for the ancient Yunnan. This kind of ox shaped decoration is mostly seen in the bronzes of Yunnan, and the most well-known is the four ox gilded Knight shell storage vessel now displayed in the Museum of Southern Yunnan. It is decorated with gorgeous and vivid cattle, indicating that it is no longer used for battlefield pecking and killing, but becomes a ceremonial weapon.

However, you said that there was a Bashu in the middle of a thing from southern Yunnan. How could it come to Longxi? Even if you come to Longxi, it is obviously the corrosion trace of the South pit mouth, which is different from the climate conditions in Longxi.

Chuchen took the bronze Peck and asked with a smile, "Professor Qin, I don't know where you got this bronze peck?"

Professor Qin was stunned to see this bronze peck. Isn't it the one he bought in the antique market some time ago? Why did he come here? However, he immediately remembered that some of the things in it were taken by his students last night. It was estimated that he didn't pay attention to them, so he took them all at once.

To understand what's going on, Professor Qin could not help but scold the student secretly. After learning with him for so long, he didn't even understand the South pit and the North pit. Now, he has lost such a big face.

"Well, ha ha, my students should have taken it wrong." Professor Qin said with some embarrassment.

Chuchen Wen Yan smile, to also did not say anything, after that, he quickly before the identification of the results of classification, said: "Professor Qin, well, my identification of the results is like this."

Professor Qin was very surprised to see Chu Chen's appraisal results. He didn't expect that they were all right.

You know, there are two things in it that he has made eye contact with, and he has studied them for a long time, only to find out that they are high imitations. Unexpectedly, Chu Chen, a young man, could see them so quickly, which makes him a little unbelievable.

Professor Qin picked up a bronze mirror and asked, "Xiao Chu, how can you be sure that this bronze mirror is not right?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "in fact, it's very simple. The whole inscription appears on the bronzes of the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. But the original inscription was carved on the bronzes when they were out of style for a long time. Because there was no steel knife in ancient times, they were carved on the bronzes with a small wheel, so the font is relatively smooth, with only the marks of carving but no marks of knife."

"After the Song Dynasty, many bronzes without inscriptions were engraved with forged inscriptions. The forged inscriptions were engraved with knives. Several knives were engraved in one stroke, which often left traces of the blade. This bronze mirror is really lifelike, but the knife mark on the inscription reveals its true colors. "

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Professor Qin said with a smile: "ha ha, I'm an expert from Beijing. Ah, if I had your level at the beginning, I wouldn't have noticed!"
