When Qi Baolin ordered the action to begin, Chu Chen was attracted by many precious cultural relics. There are not only various bronzes and porcelain, jade and other objects, but also a variety of Han Dynasty figurines. Among the figurines, the most precious one is the Han Dynasty bronze gilt feather figurine.
Feather man, as the name suggests, is a person who has feathers or can fly in a feather coat. It first appeared in the book of mountains and seas, which is called feather people.
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, immortality prevailed. People were eager to cross over death and live in the paradise where immortals lived forever. Because the feather man had wings to fly, it was synonymous with immortality. Therefore, a large number of scenes showing immortality appeared in the murals of Han Dynasty tombs, especially the dragon flying pictures guided by the feather man.
From the perspective of archaeological research, there are many objects in the Han Dynasty, of course, some are good and some are bad. The gold-plated bronze feathered man in Ma xionglin is undoubtedly a very beautiful one.
This feathered man is more than 30 cm high. He wears a face ornament on his head. He has a high nose and deep eyes. He has prominent cheekbones and wide ears. He knelt on his knees and held square and round objects in his hands.
It's not the first time that Chu Chen has seen the utensils in the hands of the feathered man. However, there is no final conclusion about what they represent. At most, it is supposed to be a medicine box. The medicine is about a kind of immortal elixir, such as Ganoderma lucidum, etc.
The height of this feathered figure is rare. In addition to its vivid shape, gilding and exquisite craftsmanship, it is well preserved. It is very rare. It is also a very attractive object in the museum.
Due to the lack of time, after seeing the feather figure, Chu Chen directly activated his powers and scanned all the objects around him. He found that hundreds of things around him were genuine. But Ma xionglin said that dozens of treasures, but did not see one.
Seeing Chu Chen frowning, Ma xionglin quickly came forward and asked, "Chu Shao, don't you like anything here?"
Chuchen said with a smile: "like is like, but Lao Ma, what about the dozens of treasures you mentioned before? You don't want to give me a hand now, do you? "
Ma xionglin waved his hand again and again with a smile: "how can it be! It's not that good things are reserved for the last time! "
"Cut!" Chuchen chuckled: "you're not afraid that if I see good things, I won't buy them! To tell you the truth, my privately founded museum is already under preparation. I can eat everything you have here. "
"Eat them all?" Hearing this, Ma xionglin was stunned. You know, these cultural relics he left behind were carefully selected. Although a single one may not be worth much, the lowest value is 30000 or 40000. Hundreds of them add up to hundreds of millions!
In addition, he has dozens of treasures and several other important things. The sum of these involves a huge amount of money for him.
Originally, Ma xionglin just wanted Chu Chen to eat some of his treasures, and one or two important things, so he could be a rich man. As for the rest, although he would like to sell them all, it is unrealistic. He can only wait until he immigrates.
Now, suddenly Chu Chen said that he wanted to buy all his things. Ma xionglin doubted whether he was hallucinating for a while. After a while, he calmed down and swallowed his mouth. Some of them asked: "Chu Shao, but this money..."
"What a local leopard!" Hu Yong looked at Ma xionglin contemptuously and said, "if you don't say anything else, Chu Shao has a rich emerald mine in Myanmar. It's a matter of minutes to buy your things with this mine!"
Chu Chen gave Hu Yong a look of approval and said with a smile: "don't worry, Ma. Money is not a problem at all. As long as your things are good and the price is right, I will buy them all!"
Seeing that chuchen didn't look like cheating himself, Ma xionglin's heart began to heat up. If chuchen could buy everything, it would be a great thing for him. No matter whether chuchen painted cakes or not, he would not see rabbits or scatter eagles, and he would not have any loss.
Chuchen said with a smile: "old horse, I'm talking about this. Don't you want to take out the heavy weapon and let me enjoy it?"
"Chu Shao, you have so much sincerity. What else can I do for affectation?"
Ma xionglin laughs. Then he goes to a wall that looks like nothing. He presses it in a place. Then Chu Chen sees another door next to Ma xionglin. However, this door is not a security door. Ma xionglin turns the handle slightly and the door opens.
Seeing this, Chu Chen went over curiously. A moment later, he saw Ma xionglin moving out something that looked like an eagle.
When he saw the object, Chu Chen was stunned, because the object in front of him seemed to be an eagle tripod collected in the National Museum. The difference was that the eagle tripod was made of pottery, while the object in front of him seemed to be a bronze one.
Chu Chen came back and asked, "old horse, is this a bronze tripod?""I think so." Ma xionglin scratched his head and said, "as for what it is, I don't know. Anyway, I don't see any other bronze tripod like this except this. But whether it's a tripod or not, I'm sure it's a good thing!"
Chu Chen thought that it was, but from the exquisite ornamentation and lifelike expression on the surface of the object, we can see that it was extraordinary.
Ma xionglin said with a smile: "Chu Shao, please have a look first. I'll take out the things here!"
Chu Chen nodded. At this time, his mind had been attracted by the bronze ware. He squatted down and first measured the height of the bronze tripod with his hand. It was about 50 cm, while the pottery Eagle tripod was only 36 cm, which was another difference.
The tripod looks powerful and majestic. The front chest of the eagle is the belly of the tripod, full and strong, and the mouth of the implement is opened on the back of the eagle. Moreover, there are more than 20 inscriptions on the mouth of the vessel, but there is no inscription on the pottery tripod.
We should know that only from these inscriptions, we can not only find out the origin of the bronzes and who they came from, but also have a high research value for the social development and form at that time.
In addition, the unique shape of this bronze tripod, Chu Chen believed that as long as this tripod was born, it would cause quite a stir in the collection circles at home and abroad, archaeology circles and academic circles.
Therefore, when he saw this, Chu Chen had already decided that he would have to get this unique bronze tripod, even if he asked his family to help him put pressure on it.
Besides, he wanted this bronze tripod to be used for Museum exhibition, and he didn't plan to sell it. He helped so much this time. I think it's not too much to ask!
Chuchen laughed, then turned his eyes to the bronze tripod in front of him. The eagle's eyes are wide open, its body is covered with cloud and thunder patterns, and it is decorated with animal face patterns, Kui dragon patterns, phoenix patterns, and its beak is in a powerful hook shape.
From the characteristics of the decoration, it should be in the late Shang Dynasty. With the characteristics of the inscriptions, chuchen basically concluded that the bronze tripod was made in the late Shang Dynasty.
In addition to the decorative patterns, the bronze Eagle tripod has a simple overall structure and a strong sense of volume. The eagle's feet and tail are supported on the ground stably. The back wings encircle the middle and rear parts of the tripod, forming a forward momentum. Coupled with the big eyes and sharp beak of the eagle's head, the eagle looks majestic and rebellious.
Chu Chen's hands caressed the bronze tripod, and his eyes were full of intoxication. Although this bronze tripod is not the most precious compared with his cultural relics, its unique shape, exquisite workmanship and more than 20 inscriptions can reflect its extraordinary and valuable. At the same time, it also increased his determination to win.
When Lao Ma came out with another thing, Chu Chen said, "Lao Ma, ask me a bold question. You know, I bought it back for exhibition. Then I have to have a deep understanding of this bronze tripod?"
"This..." At last, Ma xionglin knew what Chu Chen meant. He just wanted to know the origin of the bronze tripod, but this kind of thing was also taboo for them.
