My system is not decent

What Chen Wenzhe read was all industry information, and the more he read it, the more emotional he became.

Not to mention anything else, but under the conditions at the time, it was not easy to transport tens of thousands of rare treasures back to the motherland.

For example, Zhao Tailai sold four villas in London, and used the money from the sale of the villas to transport these cultural relics back to China one by one.

You must know that it was in 1991. At that point in time, it was the moment when the economy was in charge, and everyone was looking at money.

In such a comparison, it is even more difficult for Mr. Zhao Tailai.

What's even more difficult is that he donated a total of 853 cultural relics to the Jiangsu Yancheng Museum in the first batch.

Then, he donated 32 paintings and calligraphy works by famous masters of the Qing Dynasty to the Huaxia History Museum.

Among them are the bamboo slips written by Emperor Qianlong himself, "Sun Tzu's Art of War", the scroll of "Hundred Beauties" painted by Wen Zhengming in the Ming Dynasty, and the chrysanthemum stone in the Old Summer Palace, etc., which are national treasures.

Zhao Tailai later donated more than 1 collections to the Yangcheng Art Museum.

Nearly a thousand of them are all national first-class and second-class cultural relics.

In Baomo Park in Panyu, Guangdong Province, the number of cultural relics and artworks he donated reached 20 containers.

Among them, there are many precious cultural relics such as golden jade clothes and Wang Ziwu tripod, which can be traced back to Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States to Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The number of cultural relics that Zhao Tailai donated to the motherland for free has reached as many as [-].

There is a little controversy here. Some people say that [-] pieces were donated, others say [-] pieces, and some even say [-] pieces.

However, the only thing that is not in dispute is that the estimated total value of Xiangjiang Media at that time exceeded 8 million yuan.

It should be noted here that not all collections are worth [-] million.

Instead, only the first batch of donated more than 8 pieces was estimated, and its total value exceeded [-] million yuan.

This is what Mr. Zhao Tailai said personally in CCTV 4 "Chinese World".

Among them, there are as many as 150 pieces of cultural relics above the national third level.

Among them, more than 1 items were donated to the collection of Yangcheng Art Museum, and 40 containers of cultural relics and artworks were donated to Panyu Baomo Garden.

In order to return the cultural relics across the ocean to his "natal home" in China, he sold four residences in London as shipping fees!

After 10 years of cleaning, another 10 years of transportation, and the sale of 4 villas, Zhao Tailai finally brought these art treasures of the Chinese nation back to the motherland.

If it was Chen Wenzhe, he might have the intention to donate tens of thousands of cultural relics.

However, if he was allowed to do this kind of thing for twenty years, needless to say, he would definitely not be able to persist.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe also knew why Professor Tao mentioned Mr. Zhao Tailai.

Other Chen Wenzhe may not be good at it, but at the end, he found that Mr. Zhao Tailai had donated the golden jade clothes in the past [-] years.

Not to mention, there are many bronze wares among them, especially bronze tripods, such as Wang Ziwu tripod.

Seeing Wang Ziwu Ding, Chen Wenzhe laughed. This should also be a fake, because the real one has never been abroad.

But is it easy to imitate the Prince Wu Ding?

Wang Ziwu Ding has a wide body, a corseted waist, a flat bottom, oblique vertical ears, and a thick edge around the mouth.

There are six floating withered dragons around the body as clinging, and the mouth of the beast is biting the rim of the tripod.

Hold the tripod's waistband with all your feet, making the tripod feel like it is rising amidst the cigarette smoke.

The tripod cover is made of flat top and slight arc, with circular buttons.

...

Inscriptions are cast on the lid, neck, and inner walls of the abdomen, with 84 characters inscribed on the abdomen.

The inscription records the purpose of Wang Ziwu's instrument and praises his own merits.

The Wang Ziwu Ding was cast separately and then welded, using new concepts such as mortise and tenon joints and intermediaries. The craftsmanship was superb, and it was at the top level in the world at that time.

It is definitely not easy to imitate such a bronze ware.

Forty or fifty years ago, imitation was even more difficult.

What's more, this is Wang Ziwu Ding, it is really difficult to imitate that style!
The Wang Ziwu Ding has a unique Chu-style style, with a flat-bottomed waist shape, which is easily reminiscent of the story of "The King of Chu is so thin-waisted".

The six three-dimensional monsters surrounding the belly of the tripod are each formed by two Kui dragons curled up and coiled.

They were cast separately by the lost wax method, and then welded to the tripod body, showing a very high casting standard.

In the detailed decoration, techniques such as floating withering, vertical withering, split casting, mortise and tenon, welding and so on are adopted.

Elegant shapes, fine decorations, and romantic and weird themes are the outstanding features of Chu culture and art.

The long inscription expresses the remembrance of the ancestors, narrates Wang Ziwu's achievements in governing the people with virtue, and educates his descendants to take this as the criterion.

The words in the full text are fluent and rhyming. It is a long and beautiful prose that is rarely seen on the bronze wares of Chu State, and has important historical value.

In addition, the inscriptions are written in bird seal script, which is known as the earliest "art calligraphy" in my country.

The Prince Wu Ding is a bronze vessel from the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. A group of seven bronze tripods were unearthed from the tomb.

The words "Wang Ziwu" are engraved on the tripod, and the seven tripods are arranged from large to small, which are called row tripods.

Of course, what Mr. Zhao Tailai donated seems to be a warring king's Ziwu tripod, and I don't know what it is.

The owner of the Ziwu tripod is named "Wang Ziwu" and "Ling Yin Zigeng".

This person is well documented in historical records, and he is mentioned in many places in historical records such as "Chunqiu Zuozhuan".

According to these records and the annotations of later generations, it can be known that Wang Ziwu (called Gongziwu in historical records) was named Zigeng.

He is the son of King Zhuang of Chu, one of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, who "aspired to the Central Plains", and the younger brother of the Communist King of Chu.

He served as Sima when he was the king of the Communist Party of Chu, which was equivalent to the position of the chief of national defense.

Once escorted Queen Qin Ying (Qin Jinggong's sister) back to her natal home, but was detained by the State of Qin.

His younger brother bribed the minister of the State of Jin with three hundred gold to let the State of Jin build Huqiu City (the land of Chen State, in the area of ​​Huaiyang County, Zhoukou, Henan Province today), and said to the State of Qin, if you let the younger brother of the King of Chu go, We don't build cities.

The Qin people were afraid that the Jin army would be stationed in Chen, so they let Zigeng go.

For this reason, the state of Chu sent another three hundred chariots as a gift to express its gratitude to the state of Jin.

Why did Qin Guo willingly take diplomatic risks to detain Zigeng?
But Jin is willing to take the risk of war and force Qin to release people?
In the end, Chu State spared no expense to let Zigeng return home.

One can imagine how much Zigeng was valued at that time.

As for the discovery of Wang Ziwu Ding, it is another story.

In 1978, there was a severe drought in Xixian County, Nanhe River, and the riverbed was dry and cracked.

One day, on the way back from herding the sheep, a boy who was herding sheep passed a dry river bed and accidentally tripped over something and fell to the ground.

At first he thought it was a wooden post, but later he saw that it was made of copper.

But he didn't know what it was, so he went back and told the adults the news.

Because cultural relics have been discovered in Xixian County before, when people heard the news, they immediately picked up tools and rushed to the riverbed.

It was discovered that a lot of "copper horns" were exposed on the river bed.

Only then did I know that a group of cultural relics had been discovered, and immediately reported it to the Xi County Cultural Relics Bureau.

After receiving the news, the Xi County Cultural Relics Bureau immediately organized personnel to carry out protection and excavation work.

After 3 days of excavation, all the work was completed.
