My system is not decent

Chapter 361 Warring States Vise

Chen Wenzhe directly handed over [-] yuan to the boss, and the item was bought.

In fact, this kind of thing is a rarity to collect, and the value is really not high.

However, it is always a witness of history. If it is taken out, it will be a surprise to people, and it will really shock a large number of people.

Their ancestors made a tool exactly like the modern vise more than two thousand years ago, can you believe it?

As he walked, he looked at the pliers in his hand. Such a tool has patterns on it, and there may be a few words on it.

It's a pity that the bronze wares of the Warring States Period all had the habit of engraving hieroglyphs, and this pair of pliers also had hieroglyphs.

After groping for a few words, Chen Wenzhe couldn't laugh or cry.

Originally, I bought this thing for fun, but I didn't expect that there was an inscription on it.

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

At first he thought it was worthless, that is, it was fun, but now that he has the inscription, it casts a shadow over his transaction.

No way, the domestic sale of bronzes is restricted, especially some precious bronzes.

So what kind of bronze ware is precious?Needless to say, it is a bronze ware with inscriptions.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or in addition to the previous dynasties, bronze wares were generally used for commemoration, sacrifice and so on.

As long as there are inscriptions on it, it is usually for commemoration, such as recording some memorabilia, or simply who became an official, etc.

Such things record domestic history, and generally it is true history.

Can you buy and sell this kind of thing casually?
Chen Wenzhe seems to remember that this kind of thing has been unearthed in China.

Now that the things are bought, the boss will not be suspicious if he checks the information. Naturally, Chen Wenzhe searched online.

After such a search, he knew that this thing could not be kept.

"It just so happens that the school has expanded the museum, send it to the museum!"

While walking, I took out my mobile phone, took a few pictures in the vise, and sent them to Professor Tao, I think Professor Tao will like it.

Soon, Professor Tao called.

"You boy, how long have you been away? Looking at the background of the photo, are you at the Antique City? Found it on a street stall?"

"Professor, this is a vise!"

"Of course I know it's a vise. Don't think I don't know. The vise found in Xishan is exactly the same as yours. If I didn't know where you are, I would have thought you stole the museum there!"

"Professor, you are really good. You can tell that this is a vise from the Warring States period just from a few photos. I only found out after searching the Internet just now."

"What am I good at? The main reason is that the pliers are too rusty, and you even took a photo to show me. As long as you use your brain, you can think of what it is!"

Before Chen Wenzhe could speak, Professor Tao said again: "We are now rebuilding national self-confidence, and these things should be displayed to let the young people see that our ancestors are much more mechanized than the West. "

Chen Wenzhe was speechless, but it was the truth.

There are countless strange cultural relics unearthed in the world, but there seem to be many in China.

For example, the previous Warring States crystal cups, beer bottles and beer caps, and the crystal wall seen on the cruise ship last time, if you don’t mention it, most people will think that these are all modern handicrafts.

There is also the vernier caliper unearthed in Wang Mang's tomb. Many people think that the vernier caliper was invented in the West, so the vernier caliper in Wang Mang's tomb that is closer to modern times has become an incomprehensible thing.

To be honest, it seems that the vernier caliper first appeared in ancient Egypt, and was also used in the Shang and Zhou dynasties in my country.

But in fact, these vernier calipers are still far from the current vernier calipers.

Until the Han Dynasty in my country, when the industry developed rapidly, vernier calipers came out together with precision instruments such as armillary spheres and seismographs.

In addition to vernier calipers, another tool that can be seen everywhere now is the vise, which was unearthed in ancient tombs in China very early, and it was unearthed in a tomb during the Warring States Period.

In addition to the material, this vise only has a little bit of shape with the current vise, but it is not too big.

The working principle is exactly the same, so the archaeologists initially regarded the vise as something left in the tomb by a tomb robber.

But later archaeologists determined that the vise was indeed produced in the Warring States Period.

In fact, it was unreasonable to suspect that the vise was left behind by the tomb robbers.

After all, tomb robbers of any period did not have the habit of carrying a vise with them, and there was no trace of the tomb being stolen.

The second is that the tomb is a water tomb, that is to say, the entire tomb was submerged in water.

So in this case, the grave robbers are less likely to carry the vise with them and leave it behind.

And even if the tomb robbers buried the hole in order to hide the eyes and ears, they would only bury a part of it, and it was impossible to fill the entire hole.

Moreover, after the Han Dynasty, iron was generally used as the raw material for such tools, and soft bronze was abandoned.

Therefore, unless someone has a special hobby, no one will use bronze to make such severely worn utensils when the smelting technology is mature.

The most convincing point is the decay identification of carbon 14.

It can be said that this is the most favorable identification method for cultural relics today.

No matter what kind of cultural relics are made of, they can be identified in this way. Of course, you have to ensure that no one deliberately fakes them.

For a vise, and an unearthed vise, who would fake it?There is almost no possibility of fraud.

Therefore, archaeologists have determined that during the Warring States Period, our country had a vise that was almost the same as it is now.

In fact, the working people in ancient my country were very intelligent, but they were divided into hundreds of schools of thought at that time.

And all the schools have some problems of hiding their secrets. Although some of them are self-cherishing, many of them still have real skills.

The vise is one of them, so this useful tool was not widely popular at the time, and eventually it was lost.

I communicated with Professor Tao and learned a lot.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Wenzhe looked at the pliers in his hand, feeling a little pity!

After all, this thing is the only old antique in the country, so it is a bit reluctant to give it away.

Holding the bronze pliers, he walked quickly into the store. At this time, Li Jinli was already in a hurry.

When Chen Wenzhe walked into the store, he found that the only one who seemed to be anxious was Li Jinli, the customer who sold things, but he was enjoying tea very leisurely!

"Boss, you're here!" Seeing Chen Wenzhe, Li Jinli immediately greeted him.

"Hey, this is your boss? He's really young!"
