I'm really the king of leaks

Chapter 423 Bronzeware?
Sure enough, the voice in my head came.

"Identify!"

Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"A bluestone box from the period of the Republic of China."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi couldn't help being puzzled, how could he be able to identify it?

Not solid, but a stone box?
"This bluestone box is smooth and has no grain, and it is polished and finely crafted. The bottom is open and hollow, which is convenient for storing and protecting other utensils. It is a genuine bluestone box from the Republic of China period."

really.

Identification is still very effective.

No wonder the lid on the top cannot be seen. It turns out that the stone box is open at the bottom.It's like a hood that covers what's inside.

This design is ingenious.

Looking directly, it is no different from a large square stone.

It is easy for people to overlook it, and the opening is below.

Because, the stone countertop below fits this bluestone very well, with almost no gaps.

"Dad, I see. This thing is hollow. Let's lift this stone box."

"The thing must be inside the stone box."

Zhang Guoshan raised his eyebrows and asked while carrying the stone box with Zhang Yi.

"How do you know this?"

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and tapped.

There is a difference between the hollow and solid ones. Although the stone wall is relatively thick, there is a difference when you carefully identify it.

"No wonder your grandfather insisted on letting you come. It seems that you are destined for the things here! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid no one else would have found this place."

Zhang Guoshan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

However, he didn't worry too much about it.

immediately.

The two lifted the stone box.

The things inside are also exposed.

The stone box was very heavy, and the two carefully put it aside.

And the rest on the stone platform.

Yes……

Seriously, really don't know what that is.

In short.

Should be bronze.

It is roughly a cube as a whole.

It seems that the bluestone box with the bottom opening outside should be tailor-made for it.

Bronze ware was popular from the Neolithic Age to the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The utensils of the Shang and Zhou dynasties are the most exquisite.

In fact, the material used in bronzes, in modern terms, is a kind of alloy copper.Pure copper, alloy copper made by adding tin and lead etc.

Patina, turquoise.

Different historical periods have certain differences in decorative features, and the shapes of utensils also have their own characteristics.These can generally be used as identification and dating standards for bronze wares.

At first glance, Zhang Yi didn't know what kind of artifact it was.

Because, never seen before.

Cube, but because there are lines on it, it doesn't look so regular.

The pattern is not the common Chilong pattern, Kuilong pattern, nor the cloud pattern and valley pattern. It is not clear what kind of pattern those should be.

Anyway, there are some weird ones.

That kind of feeling is like seeing the Sanxingdui ruins in the Sichuan and Shu area, and those weird bronze statues give people the same sense of sight.

Of course, this bronze ware is not the same as Sanxingdui in style.

It's just that they all have that indescribable, weird feeling.

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and touched it lightly.

Ready to identify it.

See if there is any result.

but.

The result is the same, unable to identify.

As he imagined, the stone box could be identified because it was not something found by the treasure hunting ability.It was this strange bronze vessel that was found in the treasure hunt.

At that time, after the treasure hunting ability, there was no direct identification.

at this time.

It was impossible to identify, but it was within Zhang Yi's expectation.

Zhang Yi's father was also engaged in the antique industry. Zhang Yi knew very little about it before, but later, Uncle Chen and Expert Peng mentioned that Zhang Guoshan's eyesight was also very good.

Zhang Yi couldn't figure out the bronze ware and couldn't identify it, so he had to ask.

"Dad, what do you think this is?"

Zhang Guoshan squatted down, already observing carefully.

Zhang Yi finished asking.

Zhang Guoshan sighed slightly.

"Xiao Yi, to be honest, I have never seen this kind of bronze wares! Judging from the oxidation and the material of the bronze, it may date back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties."

"However, in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it seems that no such utensils have been seen."

At this point, he paused, then continued.

"From the late Shang Dynasty to the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a kind of wine vessel, which was square and slightly similar to this one. That kind of bronze wine vessel was called Fang Yi. However, there was a lid on the top of Fang Yi, and the lid The shapes of the buildings are different, but they are generally in the shape of a slope similar to a roof."

Zhang Yi nodded slightly.

"Dad, I've heard of the Fang Yi you're talking about. Before, at Xiangjiang's auction, there was one that sold for more than 1200 million yuan, which is quite satisfactory."

"Compared to this bronze vessel, that one is just a wine container. My grandparents value it so much, so it shouldn't be a wine container, right?"

Zhang Yi took it just now, this bronze vessel is very heavy.

It's as if it's solid inside.

Even if it is not solid, it is the kind of bronze with a relatively thick outer wall.

If it is a utensil for wine, it should not be made like this.

What exactly is this thing, and why it is so valued by grandparents, and why it is specially placed in this place, it is really hard to guess now.

In Grandpa Zhang Yi's suicide note, all the clues must ultimately point to this strange bronze vessel.

Also.

The power of treasure hunting finally pointed to this place.

In grandma's house outside, there are more valuable things than Fang Yi's. For the ability to hunt for treasure, you should choose the things there.The choice of this bronze ware is enough to show that it is special.

"Xiao Yi, come and see."

"There seems to be a very small gap in the gap between the lines of the bronze."

Zhang Guoshan has been observing this bronze vessel, and at this time, he has discovered something.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi also moved over.

Look carefully.

Indeed, as Zhang Yi's father said, between the strange lines of the bronze ware, there are lines as thin as hair, or grooves.

Moreover, these tiny grooves also look very regular and regular.

"Dad, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, could the lines on bronze wares be so subtle?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"cannot!"

Zhang Guoshan did not hesitate, and directly denied it.

Because this kind of fine and regular texture is very deep, and it can almost be described as precision.

In that era, with low productivity, it was simply not possible.

"Then this bronze ware, isn't the characteristic of the times disordered?"

The characteristics of the times are disordered, one is post-imitation, and the other is fake.

Being so valued by Zhang Yi's grandparents is also the answer to treasure hunting. Presumably, this bronze ware is definitely not the above two situations.
