My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 217 The Unprecedented Bronze Slip
It's no wonder that the old dean and Mr. Zhao gave up researching the golden mask at the same time.

In the archaeological and research of the ancient Dian Kingdom, although ancient tombs and even underwater ancient cities have been found, this once brilliant civilization has not left any writings.

At the beginning, they wondered, with such a splendid bronze culture, it is impossible that there are no writings left behind, right?

Pictographs are possible even in the Stone Age, let alone the Bronze Age.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xing brought them the characters of the ancient Dian Kingdom.This plays a very important role in the study of the civilization of the ancient Dian Kingdom. The most important thing now is to decipher these characters.

They looked at the bronze slips that Fang Xing took out. Each piece was two fingers wide and the ruler was thick and thin. Most of the box was filled with this kind of bronze slips, which were engraved with words.

"It's a priceless treasure!" the old dean sighed, extremely surprised.

This time, Mr. Zhao did not refute.

The ancient Dian Kingdom left many mysteries, among which four are the most talked about: Where is the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom?Who were the main ethnic groups in the ancient Dian Kingdom?What was the social nature of the ancient Dian Kingdom?Is the underwater ancient city of Fuxian Lake the ancient Dian king city that mysteriously disappeared?These four mysteries through the ages have kept the true face of the ancient Dian Kingdom secret.

The main reason why these mysteries still plague archaeologists is that no written records of the ancient Dian Kingdom have been found.

Now, these bronze slips in front of them are all engraved with ancient characters. In the eyes of Mr. Zhao and the others, they are naturally priceless treasures.

Besides, you have seen a lot of bamboo slips, especially the bamboo slips from the Qin and Han Dynasties, which can move tens of thousands of bamboo slips.Bronze Janes, however, are extremely rare.

Such a large-scale bronze slip has never been seen before. What is it if it is not a priceless treasure?
He hurriedly called Qian Lao who was still in the research institute, told him the news, and told him to come to Fang Xing's house as soon as possible.

Who knows, Mr. Qian directly asked him to move the things to the research institute.

"There are still two boxes of bronze slips, a total of [-] pieces, I'll move them there later!" Fang Xing said.

When the old dean and Mr. Zhao heard this, their eyeballs almost fell out.

There are about [-] bronze slips in this half box. Because they are made relatively thin, they are stacked together, and the number is quite considerable.They thought that this was already the largest number of bronze slips in history.

Unexpectedly, there were still two boxes, which completely overturned their imagination.

"Okay, okay! Remember to move here later." The old dean said excitedly.

Fang Xing was a little speechless at such an advanced age with such big mood swings.

"That golden mask..." Jiang Wanyu said hastily.

She intends to persuade Fang Xing to put it up for auction, so you take it all away, isn't it too greedy?

Zhao Lao said: "We will send it back after we study it."

As for whether to auction or not, it depends on Fang Xing's wishes.

Fang Xing didn't know what kind of shock these bronze slips would soon cause. Almost all the famous experts in ancient characters from all over the country would come.Eight hundred bronze slips and more than 1 ancient characters are enough to attract most paleographers.

As long as you understand them thoroughly, you can learn about the ancient Dian Kingdom almost 3000 years ago.

Liu Shijun helped move those bronze slips, which is really not light.

When all the bronze slips were placed in the hall of the institute in order, the scene was somewhat shocking.

"Unfortunately, we don't know if the order of these bronze slips is wrong." Qian Lao sighed.

There are small round holes at both ends of each bronze slip. As we all know, it is convenient to connect them together with a rope to form a volume.Unfortunately, the rope was gone long ago, and the bronze Janes were scattered into a pile.

It's a bit troublesome, everyone doesn't know how they are connected back and forth, it's very messy.

I don't know those ancient characters myself, and now I feel even more confused.

This is actually one of Fang Xing's goals, which is to use these experts to help sort out the bronze slips, and it is best to help decipher the contents.

He has always regarded these professionals in the institute as free workers.

"The order should be about the same. I haven't looked through them, so it's probably not messed up. You should know who my grandfather is. This kind of thing won't be put together indiscriminately." Fang Xing told them.

The old director of the Palace Museum nodded, he knew Fang Xing's grandfather best: "Not bad! Lao Fang is a rigorous person."

Mr. Qian thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then follow this arrangement first, and don't move around. The deciphering work starts from here."

After speaking, Mr. Qian began to study the golden mask.

Many people in the research institute are interested in the golden mask. After all, everyone has never seen a mask that can hypnotize people, and it is a bit mysterious.

Some people didn't believe in evil, and stared at it for a while, all of them became dizzy.

It's just that everyone's staring time is different. Some people can't hold it for five seconds, while young people can bear it for a longer time, and some can last more than ten seconds.

The pattern on the golden mask was drawn on the paper exactly by the researchers, and found that it lost its hypnotic effect.

"No! It's not about the patterns."

"That's strange. If it's not a pattern, why is it okay to only look at a part?"

Someone put forward a more reliable statement: "I think it has something to do with the pattern, but it also needs to match the shape of the mask. The pattern is carved on the mask and is three-dimensional. But when we draw it on paper, it is flat. Just like There is a difference between watching 2D movies and 3D movies.

It is not difficult to verify.Make an identical mask and if it has a hypnotic effect, it means that I am right. "

After listening to others, they felt that it made sense.

Some people get dizzy watching 3D!
When they made an identical mask model, they found that it was so.The specific principle is still under further research.

Everyone has to sigh, the wisdom of the ancients is really amazing.Modern people can't create such a mask, they can only reproduce an identical one.

What is even more surprising is that a small ancient country in the southwest, and a grass-headed emperor, can create such a powerful culture.

Not to be underestimated!

Originally, archaeologists and historians did not think much of the King Xian of the ancient Dian Kingdom.But now it seems that it is not easy!

Yuan Shaohua rushed over from the nearby museum, and secretly said to Fang Xing, "Boss, do you want to prepare an exhibition area?"

Tsk!There is a purpose in running here!

"After a while, Mr. Qian and the others don't know how long they will study these bronze slips!" Fang Xing shook his head.

Deciphering ancient texts is not so easy.Some may be able to understand the meaning at a glance, while some words will confuse philologists for months or even years.

"What about the golden mask?" Yuan Shaohua asked.

"I have other plans for the golden mask. This mask has a hypnotic effect, as you know, and it is not suitable for exhibition. People will fall to the ground after watching it for a few seconds. What does that sound like?"

When Yuan Shaohua heard it, it seemed to be such a truth.
