My system is not decent

Chapter 203 Three Tripods and Two Guis (Ask for a Little Red Heart)

Touching gold specialization, upgraded to the third level of master, for a moment, Chen Wenzhe felt his eyes light up, and then returned to normal.

The last time I got the inheritance of touching gold, I just felt that there was something wrong with my hands, but this time it was my eyes?

Wouldn't he have acquired a supernatural power?Chen Wenzhe immediately opened his eyes wide.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. He didn't see Baoguang on the surrounding antique stalls, nor did he see anything unusual.

"Huh? There is still something unusual, the things on the stall over there are good!"

After walking more than ten meters, Chen Wenzhe made a discovery.

It's a pity that it's not a precious light, he just discovered something good.

Chen Wenzhe remembered that he had seen this place before, but he didn't realize that the things here are treasures?

Taking a closer look, although the light was dim, he could still see that all the bronze wares were here.

Bronze gui, this thing does not need to be looked at carefully, only from the soil on its surface, Chen Wenzhe can be sure that this thing is genuine.

It is mainly the mud wrapped on it, which is too special, that thing must be millennium sludge.

If it is something else, Chen Wenzhe is still not sure, but he is a master of playing with mud, how can he not know the characteristics of mud?
This is analogy, and all of Chen Wenzhe's inheritances have begun to be integrated.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe also has the skill of appraising bronze gui at the professional level, even if he simply appraises bronze wares.

This thing has no traces of modern craftsmanship, and it has not been aged. With some mud on the outside, he is almost sure that this is an antique that has existed for thousands of years.

After a few careful glances, Chen Wenzhe has already determined that this is a model work of the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

Bronze gui, equivalent to today's bowl, was a tool for serving rice in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

According to the literature, it is a vessel used to hold millet, rice and sorghum, with a capacity of one or two liters, and its purpose is known.

Bronze gui appeared in the early Shang Dynasty, but the number was small, and gradually increased in the late Shang Dynasty.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Gui was an important ritual vessel.

Especially in the Western Zhou Dynasty, like the tripod system, it was used in conjunction with even-numbered tripods in combination with odd-numbered tripods during sacrifices and banquets.

According to records, the emperor used nine tripods and eight cups, princes had seven tripods and six cups, officials had five tripods and four cups, and Yuan scholars had three tripods and two cups.

Therefore, most of the unearthed gui are even numbers.

There are at least two gui, but in this booth, there is only one, and that is the problem.

However, whether to buy this thing or not still needs to be considered.

Bronze ware is an important ritual vessel that represents status. It is almost certain that a large tomb of a Western Zhou nobleman has been dug up.

At least three tripods and two gui, Chen Wenzhe is still very excited.

If you don't participate in the encounter, it's like losing something.

He can also be regarded as the kind of person who has lost something if he doesn't pick it up.

After secretly sending a message, Chen Wenzhe walked over in peace.

"How do you sell things?"

After squatting down, Chen Wenzhe touched the bronze gui and asked immediately.

"Ten thousand!"

The stall owner's face was hidden in the darkness, Chen Wenzhe couldn't see his appearance, but through the voice, he could be sure that this was an adult, probably a middle-aged man.

"It's high!" Although my hands felt hot, I was sure it was a good thing, but the price of one million was indeed high.

Besides, he only has [-] cash in his backpack. In this kind of place, it is impossible to transfer money when dealing with this kind of person.

"If you want it sincerely, just make an offer!"

"Five hundred pieces, I want at least five pieces!"

The stall owner fell silent, he was a little puzzled, how did Chen Wenzhe know that they dug up five treasures in total?

This is the power of knowledge. The number of tripods and gui in the tomb is at least five, or nine, thirteen and seventeen.

Of course, if you add other bronze wares, the number will be even more, but the heavy wares should be those combinations.

"This thing is not easy to deal with, and it can't be sold at a price in China. You should know it well. The price I offered is already very good."

"Only two, five thousand."

"Two pieces are not a complete set, up to a thousand!"

Chen Wenzhe looked at the stall owner suspiciously, why didn't he speak?One thousand is one hundred thousand, the price is not low.

"If you give me all five pieces, I can give one thousand, which is the highest price. This thing is hot to hold, if not, forget it."

In the end, Chen Wenzhe still planned to play hard to get. This thing is really hot in his hands, and ordinary people would not dare to take it.

If you can buy it, donate it to the school, use it for teaching or exhibition, anyway, he can't keep it.

Looking at the bronze gui in his hand, Chen Wenzhe was really reluctant.

This gui has a round mouth, curled rim, four animal ears with long ears drooping, a very deep belly, almost straight abdominal wall, high ring feet and wide sides.

The neck is decorated with three rows of milk nail patterns arranged in an orderly manner, the body of the gui is decorated with a circle of thin straight ribs, and there are two string patterns on the upper and lower sides, and the lower abdomen is decorated with four rows of milk nail patterns.

The ring feet are decorated with four groups of taotie animal face patterns, with ridges in the middle.

The animal face is composed of two symmetrical kuilongs with bent bodies, the kuilongs have a slit, and the single horn is tall, arched back and curly tail.

The animal ears and the body of the gui are cast separately. The body of the gui is connected to the four ears, and there are protruding triangular tenons on the top and bottom. The animal ears are hollow and fit with the protruding tenons. The casting method is very delicate.

The four animal ears are oblong and long, and the ears are drooping, and the ears almost touch the ground.

The animal head on the upper part of the animal ears is a relief-shaped cow head, with ears protruding and round eyes, with a vivid and natural expression.

A flaky bronze medal stands on the bull's head. The protruding part of the bronze medal is the bull's horn. There are two protruding ridges in the groove. A small ox's head is sandwiched between the ridges.

The lower part of the animal ears is decorated with a calf's head in the center, and there are small bird patterns outlined by Yin lines on both sides. There are two vertical grooves on both sides of the ear, decorated with two symmetrical bull's heads.

The ears of the four beasts are attached to the body of the gui, and 24 big and small bull heads are skillfully decorated to make the gui look unique.

This thing has gorgeous decorations all over the body, but not complicated, majestic shape, solemn and elegant, and the whole body is covered with emerald green patina, which can be called a fine piece of Western Zhou bronze ware.

Most importantly, there are inscriptions on it.

Chen Wenzhe only found the cast three-character inscription on the bottom of the inner wall of the copper gui, but he couldn't recognize what it was.

This thing is like a ghost painting talisman. If you don't know it, you may think it is a pattern!
However, once you recognize it, you will naturally know that its value is even higher.

You must know that bronzes with inscriptions and bronzes without inscriptions are two completely different concepts.

"Okay, give me the money!"

Just when Chen Wenzhe thought the stall owner wouldn't sell it, the man finally spoke up and agreed directly, which made Chen Wenzhe a little unresponsive.

Such a heavy weapon, is it such a simple transaction?
No matter what, Chen Wenzhe felt that it was a little illusory, a little unreal!

"What about things?"

"In the car, the car is also given to you."
