Chapter 204 Bronze Tripod with Human Face Pattern

Although the three tripods and two gui are small in size, it is not easy to move them.

Besides, there was too much movement. Obviously, these guys had planned it long ago.

I just don't know, why did they bring all five things to the ghost market?Are you not afraid of being taken over by others?
These are not what Chen Wenzhe should care about. What he cares most about is things.

Dazed, Chen Wenzhe took a small flashlight and checked the four items on the rear seat of the car one by one.

Seeing the three tripods, Chen Wenzhe was overjoyed immediately.

Open the door wide, because it is covered with mud, and now he feels very kind when he sees the mud.

For Chen Wenzhe, mud is his best brother, because these mud can tell him some accurate information that others cannot see.

Chen Wenzhe was even able to confirm that these things had been dug out for more than half a year.

Also, judging from the litter in the car, the life of these grave robbers is not good.

Perhaps, this is the reason why they were able to sell these five bronze wares for [-] yuan.

Looking at a bronze tripod in his hand, it is a bronze tripod with human face pattern.

The height is about the same as that of the bronze gui, both close to forty centimeters.

The tripod is a cooking utensil, with two ears on the top for easy carrying, and four legs on the bottom for heating.

There are many bronze tripods in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but these three tripods are very special.

What attracts attention is the four human faces in relief on the abdomen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose bridge, protruding cheekbones, wide mouth and tightly closed, solemn expression.

On the left and right of the forehead of the human face, there are small zigzag horns, and animal claws are placed on both sides of the cheeks.

It shows that this human face is not a human face, but an image of a god or a strange god in people's minds.

Also, inside the three tripods, there are two-character inscriptions.

These two characters seem to be Dahe. Chen Wenzhe seems to have seen this kind of bronze inscription somewhere.

One by one, after careful confirmation, it is indeed three tripods and two gui, but the shape of the utensils is not large, and it is presumably just a burial object for ordinary scholar-bureaucrats.

Every piece was touched, and no defects were found, nor was there anything wrong.

When the one outside was also moved into this Wuling magic car, and the door was closed, Chen Wenzhe still felt a little dreamlike.

He didn't have half a million in his backpack, so Zheng Yu could only make up for it.

In the end, even the backpack was sent out, after all, they gave away a car.

Of course, there is also a little gift in it, which is the black electronic product that Professor Tao gave him.

At that time, Professor Tao gave him several, but he only used one, and this is the second one.

"This should be a black car." Zheng Yu said after watching the two walk into the darkness.

"Don't worry about him, just watch in the car, and notify the school when it's dawn, and let someone from the school come to pick him up!"

"Huh? You don't plan to have it?"

"Fuck, this thing is dead."

Chen Wenzhe thought very clearly, the school didn't want the [-] million last time, but this time it happened to let Professor Tao show his face.

You must know that some universities have their own museums, and the Grand Academy of Fine Arts also has them. However, there is nothing good in them. Now it is the best choice to put these five bronze wares in the Grand Academy of Fine Arts.

As for the stolen goods, if you have the ability, you can talk to the leaders of the Academy of Fine Arts!
"There are indeed good things in this ghost city, but it's a pity that fish and dragons are mixed together. In such a place, the country cannot allow them to survive smoothly."

Chen Wenzhe has really seen the filthy side of the ghost market, and he also knows why the country is determined to strengthen management.

It's a pity that he couldn't catch those guys just now. He was sure that they had other things in their hands.

But there is no other way, getting three tripods and two gui is his limit.

If he makes another request and wants to continue the transaction, maybe the two men who left just now will jump over the wall in a hurry, and then they will directly give him a few dollars. Who can he ask for reasoning?
It can be said that it is just right to buy three tripods and two gui now.

Because anyone who is knowledgeable knows that when there is a gui, there is likely to be a tripod. This is clearly recorded in history.

In archeology, it is often found that Ding and Gui appear at the same time. This is because although Gui was a food container for the ancients, it was also an important ritual vessel in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

During banquets and sacrifices, even-numbered tripods are often used in combination with odd-numbered tripods, making gui an important part of the tripod system.

Chen Wenzhe has received the inheritance of bronze wares and moving mountains, unloading mountains, and touching gold. From ancient times to the present, Chen Wenzhe knows all about bronze wares, or the knowledge related to tombs.

No one knows better than him that the funeral objects of ancient scholar-bureaucrats cannot be well-behaved and beyond the rules, which is really normal.

Although the records about the use of Ding and Gui in historical books have basically been verified in archaeology, so far, no direct evidence has been found about the combination of Ding and Gui used by the Son of Heaven.

Judging from the current records, it has not been excavated in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

For any large tomb that has not been looted, there are relatively few materials related to medium-sized tombs.

In the Yu (Yin) Kingdom cemetery discovered by Baoji, a complete set of four bronze gui and five tripods was unearthed. This is a bronze tomb in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty that has not been looted.

More discoveries are still in bronze cellars, such as Fufeng Zhuangbai No. [-] cellar, where eight pieces of Xing Gui were unearthed. Judging from the inscriptions, these eight guis should be two sets.

Only the large, medium and small tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period are relatively complete.

However, in some Spring and Autumn and Qin tombs that have been excavated, the configuration of the gui has deviated from this track, and the number combination is not so strict.

It seems that the earlier the time, the greater the content of Zhou culture in the configuration of the number of tripods and guis, and the stricter the system of using tripods.

Whether it is in terms of the number combination or the texture of the tripod and gui, it maintains more of the style of the Zhou people, and the number of tripods used is three or five.

With the extension of time, the Zhou people's custom of using Dinggui has been preserved, but it has changed.

Bronze tripods and copper-imitated pottery guis were produced together, and it is no longer a difference between three and five. Often, the number of guis is greater than the number of tripods, or there are random situations where there are tripods but no guis.

For example, Baoji M2 and Qinjiagou M1 and M2 have three tripods and two guis, but three tripods and four guis, and Xigaoquan M2 has two tripods and four guis.

If Yangnan M3 does not count the 5 imitation copper pottery tripods, it is a combination of five tripods (bronze tripods) and four gui configurations, and with the addition of pottery tripods, it becomes a configuration of ten tripods and four gui.

Chen Wenzhe was able to confirm that these tripods and gui belonged to the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the early, middle and late Western Zhou periods were different.

The early Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the late Western Zhou Dynasty did not seem to be so clearly dated. There was a big gap in the specifications of the tombs.

"They should still have good stuff!"

"Yes, so what?"

From the instant noodle cups left in the car, I knew that those two guys had a bad life.

If there are other small items, they should have been dealt with long ago.

These three tripods and two gui, if they didn't want to sell them at a high price, they might not have come to Haishi.
