Chapter 34 The Treasure of the Town Hall
Yu Yao scolded with a smile, "Damn, are you here to pick up girls or collect things?"

Pu Jie was a little embarrassed, "Then what, I just said it casually, just by the way."

Afterwards, the four of them came together, Yu Yao and Pu Jie had nothing to do, Lao Zhou was also free, Huang Yongyi had to spend a day or two to arrange the store and business matters.In the end, it was decided to take the high-speed rail and set off early in the morning two days later.

From Jiangzhou to Cidu, it takes only three hours by high-speed train.

In the past two days, Shen Ge has not contacted Yu Yao. Yu Yao thought that the autumn auction still had some time to go, so he didn't ask much.

On the evening before his departure, Yu Yao bought cigarettes, wine and tea, and went to Pu Jie's house with big bags and small bags.

Pu Jie's father, Pu Cunzhi, is a retired employee of a handicraft factory; after retirement, he was not idle, and went to Dongjiang Provincial Museum to watch the gate; Pu Jie's mother worked in the neighborhood committee.It's not a wealthy family, but it's also considered stable.

For dinner that day, Pu Jie's mother made dumplings, stewed pork ribs, and fried two side dishes. The two boys drank a few glasses with Pu Cunzhi.

Pu Cunzhi was two years older than Yu Yao's father. When Yu Yao's parents were alive, Pu Jie called Yu Shu and Aunt Yu, while Yu Yao called Pu Jie's parents Uncle and Aunt.

Yu Yao and Pu Jie grew up in the same class in kindergarten and elementary school. They were not in the same class in middle school, but they were also in the same school. This made the parents of both sides know each other.Yu Yao graduated from high school and was admitted to university, while Pu Jie joined the army.

Pu Cunzhi likes Yu Yao very much. In his words, this kid is too clever, and the key is loyalty. Pu Jie is with him, don't worry.

Yu Yao had a great time eating, no matter how expensive or delicate the dishes outside were, he always felt that they were not as smooth as the ones at home.

When he was about to finish eating, Pu Cunzhi took a sip of his wine, looking slightly drunk, "I'll tell you two things, can you keep it a secret?"

Pu Jie was stunned for a moment, thinking that his father might have something worth keeping secret, and he still wanted to say it in front of Yu Yao.

Yu Yao reacted quickly, "What's wrong with the museum? And it hasn't been reported yet?"

But I was a little strange, because Pu Cunzhi was in the security department, mainly the guard in charge of the gate, and sometimes he was transferred to maintain the order of the exhibition, but he couldn't get any core information.

Pu Cunzhi nodded and lowered his voice, "It's not a trivial matter."

In fact, he didn't need to lower his voice at all, there were only three of them in the room, and the door was closed.Pu Jie's mother had already finished eating and went to the square dance to "The End of the World Is My Love".

"Yeah, Dad, how did you know that?"

"At noon today, I got off work. I went to the office building for some business. I passed by the curator's office. He was on the phone inside, and the door was not closed."

"Hey, you're eavesdropping!"

"Eavesdropping on what? Just passing by! Who knows why he didn't close the door..."

Yu Yao interrupted Pu Cunzhi with a smile, "Master, why are you and Jie Zi muttering about this? Hurry up and say something important!"

Pu Jie also stopped talking, "Yes, Dad, we can definitely keep it secret!"

Pu Cunzhi put down his wine glass, looked at Yu Yao, "You know the treasure of the provincial museum, right?"

"Of course I know, Tai Dian Fang Ding!" Yu Yao replied.

The Taidian Fang Ding is not only the treasure of the Dongjiang Provincial Museum, but also the bronze tripod in the collection of Huaxia, that is, the Simuwu Ding (now called the Houmuwu Ding) of the Huaxia National Museum and the Maogong Ding of the Taidao Palace Museum. comparable to it.

Because of this magnificent tripod, the Dongjiang Provincial Museum has greatly improved its reputation.

A museum at the provincial and municipal level, if it can have such a heavy weapon, it will be regarded as the treasure of the town hall.Just like the Chime Bell of Marquis Yi of Zeng and the Sword of Goujian of the Yue King in the Chu Provincial Museum, the golden jade clothes in the Ji Provincial Museum, the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, the Yuan blue and white Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin's plum vase in the Jinling Museum, Shu The bronze sacred tree of the Sanxingdui Museum in the province, etc.

"Won't you lose it?" Pu Jie asked in a daze.

"Can't pass the brain?!" Pu Cunzhi glared at Pu Jie.

Yu Yao thought to himself, when the Taidian Fangding was exhibited before, he went to see it.Don't say that you don't exhibit frequently, even if you exhibit frequently, it is impossible to lose it.

Simuwu Ding, Maogong Ding, and Taidianfang Ding each have their own characteristics.The Simuwu Ding is the largest and heaviest bronze ritual vessel unearthed so far; the Maogong Ding is the bronze with the most inscriptions.

The Taidian Fang Ding is not as big as the Simuwu Ding, and it does not have as many inscriptions as the Mao Gong Ding, but the historical background is the most important, with complete preservation and extremely high casting technology.

The inscription inside the tripod records that in the ninth year after King Wu of Zhou was ordered to worship the dead King Wen in Bidi, he then went east to Mengjin.In Mengjin, King Wu met with the princes, with as many as [-] people, and held a "military exercise" to defeat Zhou.

It is known as Mengjin Guanbing in history.

Minister Tai Dian followed King Wu to participate in sacrifices and Mengjin soldiers, and received a lot of rewards from King Wu. He used the reward money to "make Baozun Yi", that is, to cast this tripod to commemorate this event.Taidian was an important minister who assisted King Wen and King Wu; two years after Mengjin watched the soldiers, King Wu officially defeated Zhou, and Taidian also made great achievements.

There are more than 200 inscriptions in the tripod, recording this event and passing it on to future generations.

When Taidian Fangding was exhibiting at the Provincial Expo, it was naturally impossible to see it up close, and it was still separated by a glass cover.

Yu Yao recalled that this tripod was about [-] centimeters high and [-] centimeters in diameter. It had two upright ears with folded edges, and the belly was not deep.Because it is a square tripod, it has four pillar feet, and the pillar feet are relatively slender.There are dragon patterns on the tripod body, animal face patterns, decorative thunder patterns, and ox head patterns on the column feet; they are all very clear.

Pu Cunzhi originally wanted to show off, but when he stared, Pu Jie stopped talking, Yu Yao was thinking about it secretly, and suddenly became quiet for a while.

"The curator seems to be calling the leaders of the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, one director at a time, and his tone is very humble." Pu Cunzhi himself said slowly, "Guess what? This is too insane and Fang Ding may be fake!"

"Fake?" Yu Yao and Pu Jie exclaimed in unison!
Yu Yao thought to himself, although he had poor eyesight in the past, this Taidian Fangding was taken over by the Jiangzhou City Cultural Protection Department during the Republic of China after a strict review, and has been under protection since then, how could it be fake?
"What are you in a hurry for? I just said it's possible." Pu Cunzhi said, "It turns out that the curator received a letter from the Japanese Qianhe Art Museum yesterday. After the research, he talked with the Qianhe Art Museum on the phone this morning. The other party said, they also have a Taidian Fangding in the museum, and that one is the real one!"

"Nonsense! The little devil can really fix things! Taidian Fang Ding has been in the Provincial Expo for many years, and how many times he has just exhibited. Why are they talking now?" Pu Jie sneered, "And where did they come from? Opportunity comparison and screening? What they have is fake, right?!"

PS: The collection is suspected to be fictitious, so don't take it for granted.
