Chapter 912 The Top Batch of Treasures

Check the craftsmanship of the copper pot in front of you bit by bit. The more you look, the more you know why this thing is a heavy weapon.

With such a complicated craftsmanship, not to mention the thousands of years of ancient times, even now, anyone can see that it is a treasure.

Not to mention other craftsmanship, let’s just talk about the net cover. The horizontal hoop at the junction of the two halves of the net cover on this thing is actually decorated with gold-stitched flowing cloud patterns, as well as plain face rings and standing beasts arranged alternately. There are four vertical ring ears each, standing in the shape of a tiger, and the whole body is decorated with gold and silver.

It can be said that every part of this bronze ware, which can be decorated, is all made up.

The casting process of this copper pot is so fine and complex that it is far beyond people's imagination.

Chen Wenzhe believes that such a casting process cannot be achieved by the fan casting method, and can only be produced by using the lost wax investment method of precision casting.

Why do you say that, because the gap between the net cover and the pot body is only 1mm.

The diameter of the copper wire of the dragon body is 2.5 millimeters, and the network is composed of such fine copper wires, and the total thickness of the three-layer network is only 16 millimeters.

This kind of technology can definitely bring the use of the lost wax method back to the Warring States period.

In other words, the technology of the lost wax method has been achieved in the Warring States period, after all, such fine and complex utensils have been made.

Craftsmanship and inscriptions make this artifact a well-deserved national treasure.

After seeing the craftsmanship on it clearly, Chen Wenzhe committed his old problem again.

He couldn't help but thought about how to copy one. .

He knows ancient craftsmanship, and there is also a cheating device that allows him to see how the ancients made this treasure.

Combining these, plus his talent, it is really not difficult to copy one.

It's just a question of whether it's cost-effective or not. After all, what kind of craftsmanship can't be made by modern people?

Even if there are some so-called lost traditions, the so-called inability to do it, it's just that I don't want to waste that money and energy.

Even if the ancient craftsmanship cannot be copied, it will definitely be able to produce artifacts with ancient effects, or even artifacts with effects beyond the level of ancient craftsmanship.

It's just a matter of whether it's cost-effective or not, whether you want it or not.

Therefore, the value of this bronze ware still lies in the inscription on it.

Why are bronze wares valued by the state, and even trade is strictly prohibited?
It is because many bronze wares carry a part of China's profound history.

The unearthing of this bronze ware will definitely add important information to the study of ancient Chinese bronze casting techniques.

What's more, the release of the inscription on the device has revealed the mystery that has not been solved for many years, and added a new chapter to the domestic archaeological work.

The inscription on it reflects the historical fact that Qi State conquered Yan State in 315 BC, which can also confirm and supplement the records in the literature.

There is also a bronze pot decorated with a three-layer network three-dimensional hollow net cover composed of long dragons and plum blossom nails. This is the first discovery in archaeology, reflecting the superb level of bronze casting technology at that time.

As long as this thing appears in China, it will definitely be included in the cultural relics prohibited from leaving the country!
Chen Wenzhe could tell that those Pengcheng villagers were quite knowledgeable and level. Although they got a lot of treasures, they classified them very accurately.

Among this large number of treasures, gold bricks are naturally the least valuable, followed by various gold cakes used as currency, followed by various gold vessels, and finally bronze vessels and jade garments hidden in this hidden corner.

Of course, there are also a large number of pottery figurines and Buddha statues, which should be the least favored.

Not to mention the pottery figurines of the Han Dynasty, but the Tang Sancai of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, they should not be popular. After all, they belonged to the underworld, and most people did not want to collect them.

As for why the price of Tang Sancai has soared in modern times, it was entirely brought up by foreigners.

Foreigners have no taboos. They think Tang Sancai is beautiful, so they buy it at a high price.

What's more, the price is getting higher and higher, and it feeds back to the country, so many people in the country also think it is a good thing, and there is no way that the thing is valuable.

Whether it is worth money or not depends on what it is compared with!

Looking at the cave in front of him, Chen Wenzhe laughed.

The leaders of the country must be wise, and they are more aware of what is valuable.

Walking through the passages, discovering treasures again and again, combined with the passages in the mountainside, Chen Wenzhe can roughly describe the underground situation.

Although the gold and bronze wares are the heaviest, they are easy to transport and not easy to damage, so they were transported to the innermost part of the mountain pass.

As the largest pottery, easily broken, not easy to transport, and possibly in large quantities, pottery must be disposed of nearby.

, the large number of pottery figurines were buried in caves near the port.

In addition, the batch of windfall Buddha statues were left there because they were too heavy.

Thinking of some small gold and jade Buddha statues and pagodas, Chen Wenzhe knew that whether it was the people from Pengcheng back then or the little devils later, they all hid the treasures here in a hurry and didn't have much time to sort them out. Otherwise, some small things here may disappear.

Now he is not in a hurry, he is sorting out slowly, and after taking away all the found treasures, he will deal with the batch of pottery figurines.

Now Chen Wenzhe is more and more interested in these treasures in front of him, because he can find something that makes him happy from time to time.

For example, now, he has found another treasure, a real treasure that can be compared with the heavy treasures he has seen before.

He had checked the information before, and naturally knew that a major discovery that was rarely seen in China was the tomb full of Liu Sheng.

The Changxin palace lanterns that have been dug out from there are definitely the top batch of treasures.

Even because of that treasure, all civilizations in the world are in admiration, because China has environmental awareness almost two thousand years ago.

At this time, a treasure in front of Chen Wenzhe was similar to that Changxin Palace Lantern.

Compared with the Suzaku palace lantern unearthed from Liu Sheng's tomb, it can even be said to be even better.

This is a silver-copper bull lamp from the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is 46.2 cm high and 36.4 cm long.

The whole device is in the shape of a cow-carrying lamp, and its structure is divided into three parts: the lamp base, the lamp and the flue. The three parts can be disassembled, and it is very convenient to use and scrub.

The ox on the lamp base stands with its head bowed and has a fat body. It is a majestic and sturdy yellow ox with its head bowed, its horns raised, its four feet short and stocky, its tail curled upwards.

It appears static but has a spiral tail, open eyes and mouth, erect ears and diagonal, slightly moving legs.

The lamp is installed on the circular base in the middle of the back of the ox. The lamp has two rotatable lampshades with diamond holes, which can transmit light twice.

The lampshade is embedded in the groove on the edge of the circular lamp panel, and the lamp panel has a short handle. After lighting the candle, the lampshade can be turned to adjust the angle of light.

There is an arc on the top of the lamp cover connected to the head of the cow. This is for the smoke generated in the lamp holder to be discharged into the belly of the cow. Using this smoke exhaust device can purify the air.
