It is because Chen Jieqi is a god-like existence that the rubbings left by him are widely recognized by the world.

Since there is no problem with the rubbings, there is a problem with the Xijia plate, which is different from the rubbings.

Since Xijiapan entered the Tibetan court as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, imitations appeared in all dynasties after the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, now we judge whether this Xijia plate in Xileng is reliable to the present age. In addition to judging its own characteristics and craftsmanship of the times, the most direct evidence is the comparison with Chen Jieqi's inscription rubbings.

Why is it said that the rubbings left by Chen Jieqi are authentic? In addition to the reasons mentioned before, there is also the fact that the spread of the Xijia plate here is very orderly and clear!

There are other supporting evidences here. For example, Wu Shifen (1796-1856), a famous inscription on gold and stone at the same time as Chen Jieqi, wrote "Ji Gu Lu Bronze Inscriptions", which is the earliest work to include the Xi Jiapan inscriptions.

But Wu Shifen wrote after explaining the full text: "If you don't look at the utensils, you don't know if there are any shortages... Chen Shouqing said that the three-legged sitting together is missing, that is, it is difficult to learn the Zhai utensils."

Wu Shifen recorded in more detail in another of his "Ji Gu Lu": "The utensils stored in the Qinghe Road in Zhili, the city of the Chen family in Weixian County, Qilu, are three inches five inches high and one foot three inches in diameter. Five points, missing the second half."

The first draft of Wu Shifen's "Ji Gu Lu" was written in the third year of Xianfeng (1853).

Therefore, it can basically be concluded that the time when Chen Jieqi collected Xijiapan was about the period from the end of Daoguang to the beginning of Xianfeng.

After the death of Chen Jieqi, the descendants of the Chen family did not have a collection system that could keep him alive. The lifelong collections of a generation of legends were scattered everywhere, and this Xijia plate has since disappeared.

However, in the 1941th year of the Republic of China (1894), Rong Geng (1983-[-]), a famous ancient philologist in modern times, published a black-and-white photo of Xi Jiapan in "Shang and Zhou Yi Qi Tong Kao", which became the earliest reliable national treasure of a generation. video recording.

From the Republic of China to the liberation, many well-known experts and scholars conducted detailed textual research on the inscriptions on Xijiapan.

However, judging from the texts they left behind, they are all researches based on rubbings of inscriptions, and they have not seen the actual objects.

For example, when Chen Mengjia wrote "Dating the Bronze Ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty" at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he said that the Xijiapan was "unknown".

If it wasn't for the one in front of him, Chen Wenzhe would never have been able to see where it was faked, and he would never have thought of the inheritance of Xijiapan.

Based on such reasoning, the problem still lies after the Republic of China, that is, after the death of Mr. Chen Jieqi.

Looking at the bronze plate in front of him, Chen Wenzhe fell into deep thought.

Xijiapan is so famous and born so early, there must be many forgers.

Not to mention others, Zheng Yu and the others reminded him that he had an idea to copy a batch of bronze treasures.

He is interested in those bronze bulls, bronze plates, and even bronze tripods.

Therefore, to counterfeit a well-known market, the master counterfeiters of the past dynasties must have imitated it.

Let alone whether the imitation is good or not, the most famous ones must be the two fakes mentioned earlier.

The best way to identify a cultural relic is naturally to compare it with the real one.

There is no genuine piece of Xijia plate, so it is good to have rubbings that have been verified to be correct.

...

Now that Chen Wenzhe wants to find out the flaws of the Xijia plate in front of him, he must understand what the fake works of the past dynasties look like and what level of work they are.

The first thing to compare must be the Xijia plate in the Neon and Hong Kong Museum.

As Chen Wenzhe learned before, because Xijiapan is too famous, there are many imitations in the past dynasties.

As for the Xijia plate auctioned by Xilenchun, in addition to its own characteristics of the times, its inscription is completely comparable to the original rubbings left by Mr. Chen Jieqi.

This has become it, the most direct guarantee for the authenticity of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

If you really want to look for fakes, then the two examples mentioned are the above-mentioned Neon and the two famous Xijia plate fakes in Hong Kong.

But those imitations are a bit early.

One appeared in the [-]s and [-]s.

At that time, there were rumors that there was a Xijia plate in the collection of the Neon Calligraphy Museum, and there were ring feet, but it was identified as a forged imitation during the Republic of China;
In the 80s, Hong Kong Chinese University also collected a Xijia plate. According to the appraisal of many authoritative experts, the plate was indeed dated to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, the inscriptions were forged by later generations, but the inscriptions corroded with strong acid and Chen Jieqi's original rubbings will naturally have obvious differences.

According to Chen Wenzhe's knowledge, this Xijiapan in Xileng was exiled overseas in the early years, and then returned to China.

In November 2014, this Xijia plate was unveiled at the Huaxia (Beihu) Culture and Art Fair held in Wushi.

At that time, it was unanimously approved by several experts from the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee. Later, it appeared in the Xileng Spring Auction.

Relying on these, it is actually difficult to determine which one is genuine.

But looking at the inscriptions, you can tell the time, because the inscriptions can't lie.

It is even said that the historical code of the inscription is the key to determining the authenticity and value of a bronze ware.

Bronze inscriptions often contain the most important historical information.

The market value added to a bronze ware often has an immeasurable effect.

The thirteen lines of the inscription on the belly of the Xijia pan are [-] characters in total. Because there are four characters of Chongwen inside, there is a difference between [-] characters and [-] characters in historical records.

Chen Wenzhe is not a professional ancient character researcher, and he is a layman in textual research on inscriptions.

However, he read a lot!

Fortunately, in the past hundred years, many first-class experts and scholars have repeatedly researched and verified the inscription on this famous vessel.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe only needs to look at the achievements of these scholars.

If you want to identify the Xijia plate, you must understand the inscriptions on the Xijia plate, and you must also know the secrets recorded in the inscriptions on the Xijia plate.

According to his understanding, Chen Wenzhe knew that the Xijiapan inscription contained several historical codes of the Xijiapan.

The first must be the owner of the vessel. The classics have names such as "Boji's father's pan", "Xitian's pan", "Xibo's pan", "Xi Baiji's father's pan”, and “Xijia's pan”.

The difference in appellation stems from the use of surnames, surnames, first names, and characters in the pre-Qin period.

Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, surname and family name were two concepts.

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Wai Ji" says: "The surname is the source of the ancestral test; the surname is the name of the descendants."

There is a saying in "General History Clan Briefing": "Three generations ago, the surnames were divided into two. Men called them surnames, and women called them surnames. So the surnames are different. The noble ones have surnames, and the humble ones have names without surnames."

The name is for personal use, and most of the characters are supplementary interpretations of the name, which are both external and internal, so they are also called "table characters".

As a nobleman, Xijia, Xi is the clan, Jia is the name, and the word is Bojifu.

Wang Guowei's "Xijia Pan Postscript" believes that "Jia" is the beginning of the heavenly stems, and "auspicious" also has the meaning of beginning, such as the new moon is an auspicious month, and the first eight days of a month are the beginning of auspiciousness.

In the first half of the inscription, he called himself "Xi Jia" to the king of Zhou, and in the second half he recorded that he made a utensil, so he called it "Xi Bo Ji Father".
