Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 467 It wasn’t me who tore it apart?

Wuyang Wuyang, most of the experts gathered around and crowded around the ancient coin room for several times.

The plainclothes man nodded, and a boy with a crew cut turned on the light inside and pressed the button.

"Woooooooooooo..." With a soft sound, the curtains slowly rose.

Through the glass, seven or eight transparent plastic boxes were arranged in a row, filled to the brim.

The copper coin is very large, with a diameter of three and a half centimeters, and the four characters "Jingkang Tongbao" are particularly clear.

The experts' eyes widened: Is this not only Jingkang Tongbao, but also the rarer two-fold and three-fold products?
No matter which one it is, the market price is more than one million, and how many are circulating in the antique circle now?

Adding up to 20% off and 30% off, there are at most three to four thousand pieces, plus those collected by museums, archaeological research institutions, collectors' collections, and those that have not been released, auctioned, or transferred for various reasons, there are tens of thousands of pieces in total. Up to the sky.

And how many are there?
It's a little less. One coin weighs ten grams, so one pound weighs ten grams, and one box weighs one hundred pounds. That's five thousand attacks. How much does eight boxes cost?

No wonder Ding Licheng made such a fuss: If these things are circulated, they will definitely bring the Jingkang Tongbao market to its knees...

"Is this digging the Song Emperor's tomb?"

"Don't talk nonsense: Yang Lian Zhenjia was ordered to rob tombs. Even the tombs of ministers and wealthy businessmen of the two Song Dynasties were dug up. Where did the Song Emperor's tomb come from?"

"Where did that come from?"

"It's probably related to the Jin Dynasty."

"What is this statement?"

"The reason why there are so few Jingkang Tongbao is that, firstly, this reign only lasted more than a year from beginning to end, so few were minted. Secondly, during the Jingkang Incident, the Jin soldiers attacked Tokyo and robbed all the gold and silver in the city. Among them are Including copper coins, so fewer have been handed down...

Furthermore, the scholars and officials and merchants of the Song Dynasty were buried with only gold, silver and porcelain. Only commoners were buried with copper coins. However, even if they were buried as compensation, it would not be possible to have tens of thousands of them... So after counting, only copper coins were buried. The remaining part was taken away by the Jin soldiers..."

"But it's too much. Could it be a forgery?"

"It's hard to say... Look: for so much money, there is not a single patina, and the black ancient paint is so thick? It has been almost nine hundred years since Jingtang years ago, is it impossible?"

"It may still be possible, but the conditions are rather harsh: firstly, it cannot be buried, and secondly, the climate must be extremely dry. The copperware and the air will oxidize for a long time, so that the phenomenon of 'only black paint, but no patina' can be formed..."

"So, then only desert areas have this condition?"

"Correct!"

"Is it all true?"

"Don't worry, Researcher Zhang (an expert on ancient coins from the Forbidden City) and Director Xing (National Museum Numismatic Research Institute) are looking at it, and the results are expected to be available soon..."

A group of experts talked a lot, and Li Dingan secretly admired him.

Professionals are professionals. Without looking at anything, they can infer the origin of these copper coins in just a few words.

After a while, Researcher Zhang and Director Xing stood up and clapped their hands.

The discussion suddenly became quieter, and all the experts looked at them.

The two looked at each other and Director Xing nodded: "No problem, it's all true!"

"Good guy...Old Xing, where did you come from?"

"How did I know?" Team Leader Xing pointed to Cheng Jie and Li Ding'an outside, "The leader is still here, why don't you go and ask?"

"Just ask."

This man was eager to give it a try, but was pulled back by his companion: "Don't make trouble, and be able to speak. The leader said it during the meeting just now..."

"Right!"

"No wonder Li Ding'an was divided into a group of ancient coins when he was divided into groups just now? I was still wondering at that time, if Lao Xing and Lao Zhang were to lead five or six people, how many copper coins would be enough for them to study?"

"Who said they studied it? They said it was an inventory."

"What nonsense?" This person pointed to the opposite side, "Don't you see so many instruments?"

"nonsense!"

Just as he was talking, someone whispered again: "New Year's Silver... Haha, and Xining Jinbao?"

Anyone who understands money, or knows something about Song history, knows the origin of these two ancient coins:

In 1099 AD, Xixia was defeated, and the Li family officially revoked the imperial title and declared itself a vassal to the Song Dynasty. Zhezong of the Song Dynasty used the first batch of silver tribute from Xixia to cast "New Year's Silver".

It was almost never circulated among the people, and was only used by Zhezong to reward ministers. But the next year, Zhezong died, Huizong succeeded to the throne, and the New Year silver was stopped...

Therefore, this kind of silver ingot is even rarer than Jingkang Tongbao, and it has great historical and commemorative significance.

As for the Xining Jinbao, experts no longer know how to evaluate it: During the Song Shenzong period, in order to facilitate Wang Anshi's political reform to proceed smoothly, the emperor made a special trip to cast this kind of gold coin with lotus tooth patterns to please the Buddhist empress dowager Gao Taotao.

From then on, every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Taotao would invite abbots and eminent monks from various temples in Tokyo to give lectures at Xiangguo Temple. After the lecture, each temple would be given ten gold coins.

To put it bluntly, this is the donation money given by Empress Dowager Gao to the Buddha.

During the Song Dynasty, Taoism was the state religion. How many great temples could there be in Tokyo, and how many eminent monks could there be? Even if they were given to them for ten consecutive years, how many could the Empress Dowager Gao give out?

And here, there are six boxes?

In addition, there were also Tianjuan Tongbao and an unknown gold coin with a diameter of nearly four centimeters.

The former is a little better. When hearing the word "Tianguan", most experts know that this is the reign name of the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, it is even rarer. Although it has not been circulated in the world, at least I have heard the name, and today is an eye-opener.

But in the latter case, all the experts are confused.

What is this word?

It looks square, but whether it is separated or put together, it is no different from the heavenly book.

"Team Leader Xing, is this Liao or Jin inscription?"

"It should be Khitan!"

"What is should?"

"I recognize the money. It is definitely an early Khitan gold coin. But if you want to say the characters, I only recognize the top one: Heaven above and Earth below, Khitan Wen Wei Zhi Tian. The remaining three, whether it is Khitan University or small characters, , can’t be found inside.”

"Then how can you be sure it's Khitan money?"

"The ruins of the Liao Dynasty were unearthed, and other cultural relics of the Liao Dynasty were also unearthed at the same time. Of course it can be confirmed!"

Team Leader In 1977, two silver coins were unearthed again in Mandula, Inner Mongolia..."

"boom……"

As if a hornet's nest had been stung, a "buzzing" echo came from the empty warehouse.

There is only one gold coin in the world, what does it mean?
Orphan copy.

But what about now?

Two whole boxes.

The box is not big, but it can't hold up to the small size of this thing. It can hold thousands of pieces in one mouthful...

A group of experts specializing in the study of ancient coins couldn't close their mouths. They rolled up their sleeves and put on their gloves on the spot, as if they wanted to rush in and start work immediately.

Isn’t this the subjective initiative that the secretary mentioned?
Cheng Jie nodded happily and clapped his hands again: "Quiet... Lao Ma, Lao Zhang, don't be anxious. You will visit in the morning and start in the afternoon..."

"Seiji, we are not going to visit anymore, can we start now?" "Yes, we are not going to see the rest!"

The so-called joy of seeing something, after studying it for half a lifetime, suddenly seeing something new and strange that you have never seen before, who wouldn't be excited?
Chengjie, however, had a serious face: "The secretary's meeting just now was in vain?"

Be obedient and follow orders...

Researcher Zhang reluctantly took off his gloves, and the crew-cut guy lowered the curtains and turned off the lights.

Team leader Xing came to Li Ding'an mysteriously: "Teacher Li, I have always wanted to ask you for advice, but I couldn't find the opportunity. Can you give me some advice?"

"You're welcome, Team Leader Xing, tell me!"

"What kind of Liao characters do the characters on the gold coins belong to?"

"It's Khitan's big character, but it was created relatively early, around 907 AD, when Khitan had not yet been established... Later, around 920, Yelu Abaoji issued an order to create Khitan's big character, which was actually a perfected version and improvement of this kind of writing. Version……"

"I understand, so why is it so paradoxical? Does that mean this kind of gold coin was minted before the founding of the Khitan Kingdom?"

"Yes, he claimed to be the "Emperor of Heaven" in 907. He believed that the destiny of heaven belonged to Khitan, so he minted gold coins to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. It was called "Wanshun of the Celestial Dynasty" in history. "

"Is this a sacrificial vessel?"

"Correct!"

Xing Wankang was shocked: This is the first time he saw thousands of dynasty ritual utensils packed in boxes?

Suddenly, he originally wanted to ask about the origin of these golden calendars, but when he met Chengjie's instructive eyes, Xing Wankang wisely closed his mouth.

Afterwards, several experts whispered.

"Li Ding'an still knows Khitan?"

"I don't know, but neither Normal University nor Beijing University seems to have relevant subjects?"

"What does this have to do with teaching or not? He had never been exposed to antiques before going to Beijing University, why shouldn't he still appraise them?"

"That's why he's called a genius. It's probably the same as appraisal. He learned it by himself, and he learned it very profoundly. Otherwise, Xing Wankang wouldn't have asked him for advice..."

"I have heard rumors that he discovered two large-scale ruins in Inner Mongolia, both of which are cultural relics from the Jin, Liao, and Yuan dynasties. He should have learned about it during that time..."

"Are these the cultural relics from the Jin and Liao Dynasties?"

"Definitely not. If it was shipped from Inner Mongolia, why bother covering it up?"

Several experts were immediately stunned.

Gu Chunfeng followed behind, frowning more and more: looking at this battle, it can be concluded that these cultural relics were transported from abroad. The question is, where were they transported from?
Central Asia or Outer Mongolia?
Bordering the country, there are large areas of desert areas and the climate is extremely dry. These are the only two places.

His thoughts changed slightly, and he thought of the batch of Qing Dynasty cultural relics that Li Ding'an had obtained from XJ, and Gu Chunfeng's eyes lit up.

Got it, no wonder Li Ding'an is the team leader?
After thinking about it, all the experts entered a panoramic warehouse. It was really very big, at least four to five hundred square meters.

There are calligraphy and paintings written on the door. There are four research rooms and recovery rooms on both sides. The floor is full of boxes, and there are forty or fifty people.

No, this is not an ordinary box, this is a capsule.

The place was big enough, and all the experts walked in. Yang Lichuan was the leader of the calligraphy and painting group, so he did his part and opened it.

There were not many, there were only three scrolls embedded in three slots, and she took one out casually.

Untying the rope and gently pulling off the outer protective film, Yang Lichuan was stunned for a moment: the silk strands were fluttering, and they were clearly torn.

Remaining paintings on silk?
She unfolded it smoothly.

"Hey, this landscape is pretty good..." Zhu Nanshan praised, and then took another look, "'Baojin Book Seal', whose seal is this?"

"Director Zhu, what seal do you mean?"

"I don't know much about painting..." Zhu Nanshan stepped aside and said, "Old Ding, you can see for yourself."

Ding Licheng squeezed over, took a look, and took a breath: "Is this Mi Fu's identification seal?"

Zhu Nanshan's mouth opened wide: he doesn't understand painting, but relatively speaking, he at least knows who Mi Fu is.

The Four Great Masters of the Northern Song Dynasty...

Just as he was astonished, Yang Lichuan said "Ah", "Painting by Dong Yuan, Deputy Envoy of Beiyuan... This is an authentic work by Dong Yuan!"

The experts behind him were all shocked.

In the same way, whether you are studying pottery and porcelain, gold and stone tablet rubbings, wood carvings and bamboo carvings, or gold and silver ancient coins, you at least know who Dong Yuan is.

Dong Yuan’s authentic work?

But how is that possible?

Suddenly, there was another "dong" sound.

The force was extremely strong, the sound was extremely loud, and it was so sudden that everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Yang Lichuan said with an angry face: "Teacher Li, who did this?"

Li Ding'an couldn't laugh or cry: Why are you staring at me?
"I do not know either!"

impossible.

It’s not like I haven’t been to the hospital to see you?
And both Tongyuan and Luyuan have the same attitude...

But suddenly, Yang Lichuan reacted again.

She stared and didn't dare to roll it up again. She flattened it out carefully and covered it with a protective film: "It's too much!"

Li Ding'an sighed: There are even more extreme things.

Sure enough, Ding Licheng dug out Li Cheng's "Pine Breeze in the Yansi Temple", and Yang Lichuan dug out Fan Zhong'an's "Ode to Boyi".

Other experts also helped, and the remaining paintings one after another were placed on the case:

Guo Xi's "Misty Rain and Clear Mountains", Li Jianzhong's "Xitai Tie", Yan Shu's "Chrysanthemums and Autumn Smoke", Huang Tingjian's "Ziba Tie", Su Shi's "Gift to Lu Ruler Slips"...

More and more paintings were displayed, and more and more people were scolding each time, and their voices became louder each time... although even they themselves didn't know who they were scolding.

What's funny is that several of them were staring at Li Ding'an, as if he had torn them all apart?
I was scolding him heartily, otherwise someone said something, as if the pause button was suddenly pressed, and there was silence in the warehouse.

Everyone stared at the calligraphy on the plain desk.

It was four and a half meters long, with a shaft on one end and a tattered end on the other.

"Bao Jin Zhai", "Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Shu Shi Ye", "No Two Phases", "Sramana Huai Su", "Youjun Servant", "Like House Leaking Traces", "Liu Yi Jushi" and "Ten Enjoyment" "Six Things"...

That Fangfang seal, every inscription and postscript, were like needles piercing into the eyes.

Yang Lichuan gritted his teeth and tears fell down his face.

Afraid of dripping on the painting, she took two steps back and covered her face again.

You're so good, why are you crying?
Ding Licheng had a dark face and gritted his teeth: "This is Huaisu's authentic work, "The Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters"!"

His mind buzzed, and Gu Chunfeng turned his head sharply: "The best cursive script in the world?"

With a swoosh, the others also turned their heads and stared at Li Ding'an.

"Yes, Huai Su's "Zhang Jing Tie", but don't glare at me!" Li Ding'an spread his hands, "I didn't tear it up?" (End of Chapter)
