My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 201 The Westerners Playing Double Standards

Appraisal of an antique cultural relic or artwork is nothing more than starting from those aspects.

Among them, the most important is undoubtedly dating, that is, judging the age of the item.As long as you know the approximate age, and then according to the characteristics of the times and other information, you can distinguish the authenticity.

The authenticity of cultural relics, the most fundamental thing is that the times are different, as well as the materials and craftsmanship used.

And Mr. Qian is a master at dating cultural relics.

He has seen a lot of things, so as soon as he gets started with many antiques, he almost knows whether they are real or not, and how much of them are real.This is the same as people who often count money. As soon as you get started with a banknote, you can find out whether it is true or false.

Like the bronze sword in front of you, first of all, it is to date, and then to see how it is cast.

"It's a bronze sword from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period." After a while, Elder Qian said.

It is confirmed that this is a bronze sword from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Next, we have to look at the characteristics of the craftsmanship, and then compare it with some ancient documents about Ganjiang Moxie sword.

Don't look at the Qin and Han Dynasties that belong to the Bronze Age, but when it comes to bronze casting technology, it depends on the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This is the period in which the casting process reached an unprecedented peak in the development of bronzes.

Of course, no matter how superb the Bronze Age is, it cannot do without the fundamental technology of Fan Zhu.

When identifying bronze wares and bronze weapons, in addition to the casting process and rust color, it is also necessary to consider the information left by the post-casting process on the surface.

When Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhao were doing the appraisal, they acted like no one was around, and they didn't care to talk to Fang Xing.

"All kinds of characteristics and signs show that this is indeed the legendary go-getter and Mo Xie sword." Elder Zhao said happily.

Judging from the casting process of these two swords, they are undoubtedly the top level in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.This can be seen from the fact that it has not rusted and corroded after two or three thousand years, and still maintains the sharpness of cutting iron like mud.

Elder Qian looked at Fang Xing fixedly.

Staring at it made Fang Xing's scalp tingle.

"Does your Fang family hide other top ten famous swords?" Boss Qian felt that there was a possibility, so he specifically asked.

Elder Zhao was taken aback.

and also?

Can't you?
Being able to collect two pieces is already very powerful.

However, thinking about the situation of Fang's family, Mr. Zhao didn't say anything, so as not to slap himself in the face for a while.After all, this guy can even take out treasures such as "Lanting Collection Preface", BJ Human Skull Fossil, and Suihou Pearl from home.

Fang Xing smiled mischievously: "Ahem! There seem to be a few of them."

Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhao looked at each other in dismay: Like?A few?
This is a bit embarrassing no matter how you hear it.

Qian Lao glared at Fang Xing: "Explain more clearly, what does it mean to be like? How many pieces?"

He knew that with Fang Xing's urinating nature, he could even put up the Moxie sword for auction, and the family probably had better ancient famous swords, so it would be harmless to auction off two swords.

"Hey! Let me talk about it first! I plan to keep the Xuanyuan Sword for myself, and pick two more and put them in my own museum." Fang Xing explained clearly first.

When Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhao heard the word "Xuanyuan Sword", they stared upwards and woke up, like tigers staring at their prey.

"What did you say? Xuanyuan Sword?"

This time, Mr. Qian was a little skeptical about life.

He wasn't particularly surprised about other ancient famous swords, after all, there are many ancient documents that can be verified.

But Xuanyuan Sword?Are you serious?

Even he felt that Xuanyuan Sword was a legendary sword.After all, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was the co-lord of the world in the tribal era!That is the ancestor of China earlier than the Xia Dynasty.

"Xuanyuan Sword? Did your Fang family make a mistake?" Elder Zhao couldn't help questioning.

Fang Xing had a strange expression on his face, and said to the elders: "Strange, since there is "Huangdi Neijing", why do you doubt the authenticity of Xuanyuan Sword?
That's all!Let you two elders take a look!But first say it!I treasure the Xuanyuan Sword myself and want to pass it on to future generations. "Fang Xing still attaches great importance to Xuanyuanjian.

Elder Qian and Elder Zhao have not yet recovered from the shock.

After a while, Fang Xing came out with a bunch of swords in his arms, and both Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhao were stunned.Those swords are extraordinary at a glance. They are all discerning people.

Fang Xing took out one from inside: "Look, this is the Xuanyuan Sword. My ancestors collected it with great difficulty. I have also verified that this sword has a very long history, it should be about 5000 years old."

We often say that the Chinese civilization has lasted for 5000 years, but that is actually the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

In the western world, they only recognize that the Chinese civilization has been around for more than 3000 years.In the past, it was only accepted that Chinese civilization dates back to the Zhou Dynasty, and even the Shang Dynasty was not recognized, let alone the Xia Dynasty and the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

This is quite discriminatory, playing double standards!
Some of their Western histories are also unfounded. They only see some descriptions from a legendary work, and they believe that their history can be traced back to that period.

In China, in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there are also relevant records in some works, but no archaeological evidence can be found to prove the existence of that era.

Later, as the cultural relics of the Shang Dynasty were unearthed one after another, Western historians finally recognized the existence of the Shang Dynasty.

However, for our Xia Dynasty, we still think it is a fabricated dynasty.

It's funny that Bangzi Kingdom claims to have a history of 1 years, yet some Westerners believe it, but they don't believe that Chinese civilization is 5000 years old.

What a fucking idiot!

The eyes of Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhao were completely attracted by the ancient sword in Fang Xing's hand.

With a golden hilt and a black lacquered body, the whole sword exudes nobility and solemnity.The golden color of the hilt should be metal like gold or copper.

The blade should be made of meteorite.

Some people may be puzzled, can the iron sword be preserved for such a long time?Generally speaking, iron weapons, tools, etc. are prone to rust, so there are relatively few iron products in cultural relics, but bronze wares have survived for thousands of years.

This means that meteoric iron is different from our common iron.

In the meteorite, in addition to metallic iron, there are also metallic elements such as nickel and cobalt.To put it bluntly, Meteorite is an alloy.We also know that alloys are not easy to rust.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the meteorite will not rust, it mainly depends on the ratio of metal elements in that piece of meteorite.

Obviously, the meteorite iron used to make the Xuanyuan Sword is anti-corrosion, so it can maintain its integrity for 5000 years.In addition, because it is made of meteorite iron, the blade is hard and sharp.

"It's not easy to date, use scientific instruments!" Elder Zhao suggested.

Qian Lao nodded, and then took those swords to the research institute.

The research institute shipped a machine specially for dating at a high price, which is more accurate than C14 dating.

After that, Fang Xing was the only one left in the family who rolled his eyes.These old men, as long as they encounter treasures, they will not be fools.
