Chapter 623

Du Liyu said with an embarrassed smile: "this is different after all!"

"Why is it different?"

Du Shengqing said angrily, "didn't you listen to Uncle Guan just now? This tea cup of Xiao Chu is probably the only existing complete vessel, which is unique in the world. Do you think you can buy it with money?"

Speaking of this, Du Shengqing looked a little dejected: "you are like this. Everything is measured by money. Can money buy family affection and friendship? Maybe you think you have a lot of friends, but if I come to see them, they are all interested in your money. If you have no money, you can see how many of them will pay attention to you! "

"Dad, don't do that today, OK?" Du Liyu was embarrassed.

"What can't be said? Uncle Guan, they are not outsiders. Besides, if you don't say it now, I'll say it later!"

Du Shengqing said: "Lao Guan, don't you want to ask me why I want to transfer the things I have collected for many years to you? I'll make it clear that it's because they take money to measure everything. When I leave, my collection will be sold at a lower price. It's better to give it to you than to give it to others at a lower price! "

Du Liyu curled her lips and said, "Dad, can't I collect it?"

Du Shengqing said with a straight face: "you do collect, but you will only take my collection as an investment commodity. Will you love them sincerely?"

Du Liyu was silent when she heard the words.

"All right!" Du Shengqing waved his hand: "I know you want to persuade me to leave the things, I also agree to leave the others to you, but this one is not good, I must find a good home for him!"

It's said that this is the case. Guan Guokang can't help muttering. He can understand Du Shengqing's idea, but selling things to himself is not to let his children have opinions about him! The key is that Du Liyu is OK. Du Shengqing's son has a small mind. When he does buy Du Shengqing's things, he will definitely hate himself.

Of course, Guan Guokang is not afraid of this situation, but it's better to do more than less. If he had known that, he would have refused on the phone. However, now that people are here, he can't say no. he can only stare at Du Shengqing to show his dissatisfaction.

Du Shengqing laughs and chooses to turn a blind eye. He can't help it. His body is not as good as day by day. Sometimes he feels that he can't survive this year. It doesn't matter that other collections he left behind will be sold by his children, but he still wants to find a good home for his favorite collection.

It's not that Guan Guokang won't change hands in the future, but he knows that before Guan Guokang changes hands, he will carefully screen the buyers.

"Lao Du, since you want to transfer things to me, take them out!" Guan Guokang said.

Du Shengqing looked at the sky, and then proposed: "it's late. Let's have dinner first. What do you think?"

Guan Guokang looked at chuchen's brother and sister. They had no problem, so he said with a smile, "OK, I haven't paid for master Hua's craftsmanship for a long time..."

Master Hua, who Guan Guokang is talking about, is the pastry master of this teahouse. However, the dishes are also very delicious, especially the vegetarian dishes, which are full of color, fragrance and flavor. Both brothers and sisters feel that they are not inferior to the chef who specializes in making vegetarian food.

In addition, during the Spring Festival, I eat more meat dishes, and I eat them with relish. All the vegetables on the table are gone.

After dinner, several people drank tea for a while, and then two men brought in something. Chu Chen took a close look and found that it was actually a bronze tripod, and it didn't look small. He estimated that the height of the tripod was 40-50 cm. If it was genuine, it would be a national treasure.

Moreover, to Du Shengqing's attention, Chu Chen thought that this bronze tripod should be a genuine one.

Generally speaking, ancient bronzes such as Xia, Shang, Zhou, spring and Autumn period and Warring States period can't be sold in domestic auction. Because these bronzes are very precious, and most of them are unearthed relics. According to the regulations, the unearthed cultural relics belong to the state.

If it is not an unearthed cultural relic and is handed down from generation to generation, it should not be restricted. However, it is not easy to distinguish it now, so it can only be treated as not being photographed. Although it can't be filmed, the folk trade actually exists. The reason why non-governmental transactions are not interfered is that it is difficult to distinguish between the genuine and the modern imitations.

Of course, the rule that the unearthed cultural relics belong to the state is not rigid in implementation. Otherwise, it is estimated that many things in the antique market will be confiscated. If this rule is strictly enforced, many cultural relics will probably be smuggled abroad.

Of course, chuchen was not a pedantic person. When he saw the bronze tripod, he was just a little surprised and his expression returned to normal.

Du Shengqing looks at Chu Chen and smiles. Then he puts on his gloves and gently touches the bronze tripod in front of him. He explains with a smile: "this bronze tripod was accidentally seen by a scrap purchasing station when I was traveling to Suzhou City in 1981. The owner of the purchasing station was just about to smash it. If I didn't find out something wrong at that time, and The bronze tripod must have been smashed by the boss. Later, I spent some money to buy it and keep it carefully until now. "When Du Shengqing finished, Guan Guokang said: "I say, Lao Du, since you want to find a good home for this thing, just donate it to the museum!"

"I'm not going to donate!" Du Shengqing was not happy and said, "you don't know that I donated things to the museum in my hometown. As a result, when I go back a few years later, the things are rusty. After that, I swear never to donate anything to the museum again!"

"It's all your own problem!" Guan Guokang said with a smile: "well, if you don't donate in the city, you should donate it to the people below. They usually don't even have much money there. How can you afford to maintain your things?"

"Anyway, I can't donate this bronze tripod!"

Du Shengqing shook his head again, and then said, "well, let's not talk about it. It's always up to you to see the authenticity of things."

Guan Guokang stood up and said, "I don't want to see it. It's not the first time I've seen it. I'll tell you, I'm not sure that your bronze tripod must be genuine!"

Du Shengqing said helplessly: "I said, why do you always hold on to the inscriptions? Besides, what's wrong with this bronze tripod?"

Hearing this, chuchen was a little curious. Was the authenticity of the bronze tripod controversial?

Seeing Chu Chen's expression, Guan Guokang said, "it's not up to me today. Let's listen to Xiao Chu's opinion first. Xiao Chu, first look at the inscription on this tripod and see if there is any problem. "

Chu Chen nodded, then put on his gloves, found the position of the inscription and observed it carefully.

The bronze tripod in front of us, from the performance of the shell, should be a familiar pit ware, that is, the bronze ware that has been handed down for many years after it was unearthed. From the shape of the tripod, it should be the style of the late Shang Dynasty.

This tripod has a square mouth, a pair of opposite ears on the edge of the mouth, a deep round abdomen, and three cylindrical feet on the bottom. The tripod has six leaves on its belly and six pairs of bird pecking dragon patterns on the bottom of its mouth. The dragon pattern is decorated with three groups of big gluttonous animal facial patterns, with round eyes and obvious eyebrow angle. Taotie pattern is interrupted by a leaf ridge between the middle and the middle, and the layout is rigorous.

In addition, in the belly of the tripod, there are five inscriptions of "Wei Fu makes the tripod".

The inscriptions on the bronzes are also called the inscriptions on gold and Zhong Ding, which are the characters on the ancient bronzes.

The content of inscriptions, font style, casting and engraving technology and the distribution of lines and columns in different periods are different due to different social environments. Therefore, it is particularly important to judge the false characters. It can not only be used as one of the methods to judge the authenticity of the object, but also a means to judge the authenticity of the inscriptions.

From Shang Dynasty to the spring and Autumn period, the inscriptions were usually made of iron. The contents of the inscriptions mostly recorded the sacrifice, admonition, exploits, rewards, vows and contracts of the slave owners and nobles. The simplest one or two words were used to mark the name of the slave owners or their clans.

The bronze inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, such as hieroglyphs or family emblems, were first cast in the middle period. The longest inscriptions are no more than 50 characters, and the typeface is similar to that of oracle bone inscriptions.

This is the problem with the bronze tripod. Although it is cast, its head and tail look slightly mellow, so there is a problem.

If these inscriptions are not cast, it can be said that they were added later. Although they have an impact on the tripod, the performance of the tripod, even if there are no words, is also a very rare utensil.

However, because the inscription is cast, it can be inferred that there may be problems with the whole Ding.

Seeing Chu Chen frowning, Guan Guokang asked, "little Chu, do you see any problem?"

"There is something wrong with the writing of this inscription." Chu Chen returned.

Du Shengqing said quickly, "I admit that the inscription on this tripod really looks different from other inscriptions in the late Shang Dynasty. But if you look at other inscriptions, such as ornamentation, layout and so on, which one is different from the bronze wares in the late Shang Dynasty? It's impossible for us to judge the authenticity of a bronze ware just by its inscriptions, isn't it

Chu Chen nodded. There was a certain truth in this. But then, since there was something wrong with the writing of the inscription, this tripod was probably an imitation. Next, as long as we find another wrong place, we can basically conclude that this tripod is an imitation.

So he said, "Mr. Du, let me have a look first."

"OK, you see..."

There is a proverb about distinguishing bronze ware from forgery. This is: first look at the shape, then look at the flowers, take it to the bottom, open your eyes tightly, and open your mouth slowly. The inscriptions should be carefully checked. Rust and the earth are the barriers.
