After discovering such a thing, even uneducated villagers know it is a treasure.

Therefore, some good people immediately said, "This is the father of the Tong family. Before he was buried, a 'dragon' emerged from the grave. The Tong family will be prosperous in the future!"

As soon as such "auspicious words" were uttered, the surrounding villagers also echoed them, and a funeral event inexplicably turned into a "happy event";
The grave was not dug anymore, and the Tong family brothers carried the "copper pan" home.

They swaggered through the city along the way, watching the folks talking about it.

It was even more lively when we got home. The Tong family brothers put the "copper plate" dug up in the father's coffin shed, and there were three layers of onlookers outside;

The news seemed to grow wings, and within a long time, two cars arrived at the door of "Tong's House" covered in dust.

In 1984, cars were still relatively rare, let alone in rural areas, and now there are more people talking about them;

Someone said, "The Tong family is really about to develop. Before the old man was buried, the nobleman who 'drives a car' came to the door."

The strange thing is that these "drivers" were not here to pay homage, but people from the cultural management department in the city;

Looking at it today, this situation is not surprising. People who don't know how to do it think that the Tong brothers have dug up a "treasure", but everyone who knows how to do it knows that this is an "unearthed cultural relic".

Comrades from the city want to take the "copper plate" away, how can the Tong family be willing?
After a long explanation, in order to appease Tong's family, the comrades in the cultural management department said that the "copper plate" should be brought to the city for appraisal first.

Of course it was gone forever, as it should be.

As for what those people promised, if it is really a token of "Papa Tong's apparition", they will send the things back, and they will also make compensation.

It must be achievable, and compensation will be made later.

I won’t go into details about the following things. The “copper plate” was appraised as a precious cultural relic, and the Tong family brothers were publicly commended, and won 200 yuan, honorary certificates, pennants, etc.;

Although the "Tong's Family Funeral" has come to an end, the research on the "copper plate" has just begun.

After identification by many experts, this unearthed cultural relic was named "Bronze Kui Pattern Panlong Pan";
In 1995, Zhu Jiajin, Geng Baochang and other well-known experts formed an appraisal team and officially identified it as a "first-class cultural relic", which is commonly known as a "national treasure cultural relic".

Generally speaking, this "bronze pan with Kui pattern and panlong" should be a product of the late Shang Dynasty.

It is 26 cm high, 61.5 cm in diameter, and weighs 22.5 kg;

The shape of the vessel is open, with a wide flat edge, no ears, the abdomen is gently adducted, high ring feet, and a stepped skirt. Especially the abdomen is decorated with concave and convex patterns, which is extremely gorgeous.

Each group of patterns on the belly of the pan is dominated by double birds in the same direction, with cloud and thunder patterns as the background, and cloud patterns on the body of the bird;

There are also complex decorations on the circle feet of the "base", each group of decorations is based on the dragon pattern, and the cloud and thunder pattern is also the base.

The most conspicuous thing is the protruding Panlong image on the plate.

The floating "dragon head" protrudes from the center of the plate, about 10 cm higher than the plate, and this "dragon" seems to have the potential to jump out at any time;
This "Shang Dynasty Bronze Kui Pattern Panlong Pan" is huge in size and exquisite in workmanship.

The most important thing is that the decoration is rich and exquisite, and it is the largest bronze dish discovered so far.

Therefore, this large bronze plate is also known as the "Pan King", which has great historical significance and research value.

...

It stands to reason that most of the places where cultural relics have been unearthed have ancient tombs or ancient cellars;

But the strange thing is that after that, the experts went to "Wanweitong Village" many times for on-the-spot exploration, but they found nothing.

That is to say, the "Bronze Kui Pattern Panlong Pan" exists independently.

Of course, such a large "plate" cannot appear out of thin air.

It's just that the time is too long. What happened more than 2000 years ago is impossible to study today;

Because of this, the value of the "bronze dragon plate with Kui pattern" has always been the focus of debate in the circle.

Looking at it today, "Qin Copper, Han Yu, Tang Jin, Song Shu" are basically regarded as the standard of precious cultural relics;

Bronze ware, popular from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Qin and Han Dynasties, was recorded as "gold" in history, and it was also the "heavy weapon of the country" of many princes in the pre-Qin period.

Today, the 61.5cm-diameter "Bronze Kui Pattern Panlong Pan" is enough to be called a "heavy vessel" just because of its huge shape;
Coupled with the exquisite workmanship, complicated decorations, and the unique "dragon head" image, some experts believe that the value of this bronze ware cannot be reflected by a series of numbers.

However, some people believe that although the "Bronze Kui Pattern Panlong Pan" has been identified as the late Shang Dynasty, there is no historical record;

The value of cultural relics is mainly reflected in the "Zuozheng History". Since there is no history, the value of this "Kui Wen Panlong Pan" is greatly reduced.

According to similar utensils auctioned in the past, its value should be in the "tens of millions", and it is difficult to exceed "hundred million".

Of course, this is the valuation before [-].

Estimated now, regardless of whether there is an inscription or not, and whether there is a history, just the dragon pattern on it can make it worth more than [-] million.

After all, he is the King of Pans, the largest bronze pan, and just this gimmick can double his worth.

Chen Wenzhe naturally didn't care how much this plate was worth, but he couldn't stop thinking about Zheng Yu.

This plate was sent by Zheng Yu, no matter what, the value should be clarified.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the dragon on it can determine the value of this plate.

The dragon has always been the totem of the Chinese nation. It goes to the sky and enters the sea, soars through the clouds and rides the fog.

As a decoration, it has been used on various carriers for a long time, and dragons have appeared on painted pottery plates as early as four or five thousand years ago.

Entering the Bronze Age, the images of dragons naturally appeared more on bronze wares.

The "Bronze Dragon Pan with Kui Pattern" in front of Chen Wenzhe's eyes is even larger in size, and the workmanship is naturally more exquisite.

As for the rich decoration and exquisite shape, these are normal.

After all, it is so big, this kind of treasure is known without thinking.

Therefore, even if it is among the bronze plates of the Shang Dynasty, it must be the best, and it is a well-deserved "Pan King".

Why does Zheng Yu think this is a bronze tripod?Because it is half a meter high and more than one meter in diameter.

Who would believe that such a large bronze vessel is a plate?

That is to say, Chen Wenzhe has a wide range of knowledge, and he can tell at a glance that it is an enlarged version of the bronze dragon dish with dragon pattern.

Otherwise, he didn't dare to judge lightly, this is a plate.

If it is determined that this plate is an antique, then this plate will be the real king of the plate in the future.

Looking at the age, this plate is also likely to be something from the Shang Dynasty.

In this way, this one should be the same as the one discovered earlier, and they even came from the same place.

Unfortunately, even if Chen Wenzhe could confirm these things, he couldn't come up with them.

In 1995, the bronze dragon plate with Kui pattern was designated as a national first-class cultural relic, but the identity of this one is still in doubt.

Because there are too many such fakes now, but Chen Wenzhe can tell at a glance that this thing is genuine.

However, the place where it was unearthed still needs to be studied carefully.
