Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 144 Confirming identity, the founding queen of Xixia

Princess of the Liao Dynasty?

The audience in the entire live broadcast room couldn't help blinking when they heard this.

They are not professional archaeologists, but some basic logic is also clear.

Since ancient times, the best things in the tombs are the imperial mausoleums, and the tombs of the emperor's relatives and relatives.

A princess tomb, there are too many things in it.

If you meet a princess who is more favored, you may directly open an imperial tomb.

Now that they heard that these things belonged to the tomb of a princess from the Liao Dynasty, Bao friends couldn’t help asking how Ning Fan could tell.

"Is there anything you can't see?"

Ning Fan raised his eyebrows, looked at the things and spoke directly.

"Things from the Liao Dynasty are the most recognizable among all artifacts."

"As a country established by the Khitan people, the objects of the Liao Dynasty combined the traditional Han culture of the Khitan and Xia countries at the same time, which is extremely unique and valuable for research."

"However, since the tombs of the Liao Dynasty are relatively remote now, many of them have been stolen."

"Sometimes they are patronized by different people, which leads to the fact that cultural relics from the Liao Dynasty are very common in the antique circle."

"But there is a problem, there are not many high-quality goods."

"Many things have been turned around in the market for several times. They are of good quality, and some are completely destroyed."

"The cultural relics of the Liao Dynasty on the market are basically full of rust and full of patina."

After Ning Fan finished speaking, everyone in the live broadcast room became suspicious.

"Aren't Baoyou's items also green?"

"And this green looks a bit problematic, it is different from the general patina."

"If it wasn't for this generation, I would have thought it was fake."

"Paper green?"

Ning Fan was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching while looking at the chat records of his friends.

"Where do you see the patina?"

"Isn't green patina?"

Seeing this statement, Ning Fan was upset.

"Baoyou, when you have nothing to do, read more books, visit museums, and don't keep picking things up at the stalls!"

"I've never seen what the real thing looks like, I always play fake things!"

After speaking, he said seriously.

"This is silver green, not copper green."

Silver green?

Baoyou was stunned when he heard the name in the live broadcast room.

"Silver has green embroidery, isn't it black? Isn't that unscientific?"

"It's unscientific."

"Because the silver is not purified."

"The ancient metal smelting technology is the alloy level, and it can't produce extremely high-purity silver, so there are a lot of other metals mixed in the silverware."

"Like copper, lead, tin, so it's not surprising to have this kind of rust."

"Look at these things, the difference between green rust and copper rust is because these are just impure copper, and the result of other metals."

"And this feature is also an important step in identifying ancient silver."

"The simplest point is that you can just look at the classification of ancient silver ingots."

"Although there was no way to accurately measure the purity of silver ingots in ancient times, it can be roughly confirmed based on the performance of silver ingots."

"The best one is called gold flower silver, with circles of golden flowers on it, the next best is thin line silver, and the second best is green flower and black flower."

"The darker the color, the lower the purity of the silver ingot."

"That's the difference in looking at ancient silver."

After Ning Fan finished speaking, everyone in the live broadcast room blinked.

They didn't know that silver ingots were so exquisite before, and they thought that all silver ingots were made of silver, so they didn't care about the purity.

"Then... is the hole under the silver ingot also fake?"

"real."

Ning Fan saw the question and replied directly.

"The holes under the silver ingots are the traces left when the air absorbed by the melted silver is discharged. There is a special name called honeycomb in the antique shop."

"There are still very small beads in these honeycombs to drip down, which are also left over from casting."

"Experienced people can judge the authenticity of things based on this honeycomb drip."

Ning Fan taught his friends a lesson, and looked at a few things on the screen again.

[Silver bowl of the Liao Dynasty, the inside of the bowl is smooth and clean, the outside of the bowl is decorated with flowers and plants and dogs chasing pictures, the carving process is exquisite, there are small chiseled traces in the blank space, the outer layer is a mixture of copper rust and silver rust, the whole product. 】

[The silver jade pot spring vase of the Liao Dynasty has no grain on the whole body, and the outer layer is gilt copper with puddle rust. 】

[Liao Dynasty bronze gilt silver Buddhist altar, one foot high and six inches wide, with candlesticks on both sides to support the headlights of Changming Buddha, and Xixia characters inside the altar. 】

[Liao Dynasty green glaze pillow, fired in Shangjing Kiln.It is one foot long, six inches wide, and six inches high, with dragon and phoenix patterns depicted on it, which are extraordinarily fine, and the carcass is gray and extremely delicate. 】

At first glance, there is indeed no problem, but there is a supplementary description behind all the utensils.

[Unearthed from the tomb of Princess Xingping in the Liao Dynasty, it was unearthed in less than a day. 】

Sure enough, it was the same as what I saw.

Ning Fan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the screen.

"Baoyou, I'll give you another chance. Where did you get these things from?"

Baoyou listened, his movements froze, and he insisted.

"These were all moved out when I moved the ancestral tomb. As for the princess tomb you are talking about, Master Ning, I have no idea!"

"This was found in the tomb of an elder in our ancestral grave."

"do not know?"

Ning Fan shook his head and said with interest.

"Other things are fine. The copper-gilt and silver Buddhist altars and imperial porcelain pillows on it are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"Since you don't want to say it, then I will say it for you."

"You dug the tomb of Princess Xingping of the Liao Dynasty. You may not be familiar with this princess, but her husband should have heard the name."

"The founding emperor of Xixia, Li Yuanhao!"

what?
The treasure friends were completely stunned when they heard the words.

They had never thought of the contents of this tomb as exciting before.

Unexpectedly, the tomb of Princess Liao and Empress Xixia was dug out at once.

Swallowing and froze in place, it took a long while to recover.

"Master Ning, is what you said true?"

"Yes."

Ning Fan spoke lightly.

""Liao History", "Song Shi" and "Xixia Shushi" all have records about Princess Xingping, and the content is roughly the same."

"In the first year of Chongxi, Princess Xingping married Li Yuanhao, and died of depression seven years later."

"As for the interpretation of this matter, the annotations of the three materials are different."

"The history of the Liao Dynasty said that Princess Xingping discovered Li Yuanhao's secret and was silenced; the history books of Xixia said that Princess Xingping died of illness; the history of Song Dynasty avoided talking about it."

"This is also a mystery left in history."

After Ning Fan finished speaking, the treasure friends still frowned and couldn't believe it.

"But...Master Ning, there is nothing here to confirm the identity, right?"

"You can't say it belongs to Princess Xingping just because it's from the Liao Dynasty, isn't it a little bit reluctant?"

"Not reluctantly."

Ning Fan responded, pointing to the desktop.

"The identity is written on these few things."

"how is this possible?"

The treasure friends immediately widened their eyes, wanting to find out where there is something on it.

Baoyou who came to appraise excitedly picked it up and turned it over carefully.

But after a while, he could only give up, and honestly asked Ning Fan how he knew it was Princess Xingping.
