Inherit For Three Thousand Years

When he walked into the sixth treasure room, Xiao Yao had another harvest. The first collection placed on the Bogu shelf at the door of the collection room was the edict of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

This Qin Shihuang imperial edict has a decagonal prism with a thin upper part and a thick lower part, with a semi-circular button on the top.

On the surface of Jin Quan is the edict of the 26th year of Qin Shihuang's unified weights and measures. Except for 5 characters on the first side and 3 characters on the fifth side, there are 4 characters on each side, and the structure is neat, up and down, and there are 40 characters in total.

The original text of the edict read: "Twenty-six years, the emperor has become the princes of the world, the head of Guizhou Daan, and the title is emperor, but the emperor's appearance, string, and law are different, and those who apologize are all clear." The font is standard Qin Zhuan, neatly written, and powerful.

This paragraph of text on Jin Quan obviously has very high historical research value and is of extraordinary significance.

The general idea of ​​the edict was: In twenty-six years, the First Emperor eliminated all the princes and unified China. The people found peace. Now the title of Lizun is the emperor, so he ordered the prime minister and Wang Wan to declare a unified national system of weights and measures, so that all doubts were clarified, and all of them were unified.

The copper rights, iron rights, copper quantity, and copper rises engraved or cast with the edict of the first emperor are in the west of the Xianyang site of the Qin Dynasty*Afanggong, Lintong Shihuang’s Mausoleum, Shan*hua*, Gan*zhen*, and Shan*left* , Shan*wen*, He*weichang, Jiang*Donghai, Inner Mongolia* Peak and other places are all unearthed. These unearthed cultural relics fully prove that the unified system of weights and measures in the Qin Dynasty was indeed beneficially implemented throughout the country.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, the subsequent measures to unify currency, unify weights and measures, and unify train tracks not only had a positive effect on the unified multi-ethnic centralized state just established at that time, but also had far-reaching significance for future generations.

The unearthed copper rights and iron rights are relatively common, but the gold rights are the only one, and they are very distinctive.

First of all, this golden right has a regular shape, upright and square, and the ten-sided prism has coordinated proportions and standardized shapes.

Secondly, the seal engraved text is clear and precise, the brushwork is quaint and solemn, and the carved characters are deep and steep, and there is nothing to do casually. From the shape to the inscriptions, the rigorous specifications are evident, and it should be a finely crafted official standard device.

The market price of the only one of Qin Shihuang's edict and gold in the world will never be less than 130 million.

Xiao Yao will definitely bring such an orphan cultural relic back to his domestic collection.

In this treasure room, Xiao Yao also singled out a Western Zhou cow's first milk nail pattern.

This bronze vessel is huge in shape, one meter high, with rounded mouth lips, slightly extravagant mouth, oblique and straight inward abdominal wall, middle-high ring feet at the bottom, well-developed ears on both sides, and the ears are vertically decorated by the mouth. To the bottom of the short edge.

The body and abdomen of the organ are deep, with three groups of patterns from top to bottom, and three rows of sharp **** patterns near the mouth. The **** patterns are divided into four groups by the ears and ridges. Each group has 10 pieces in each row. One hundred and twenty pieces.

Under the **** pattern, there is a set of continuous vertical ribs, and under the vertical ribs, there are three rows of sharp **** patterns. Each group is limited by the table space of nine to ten pieces in each row.

The mid-high cut edge of the circle foot is decorated with four sets of dragon patterns, the head of the dragon pattern is facing the edge and the tail is towards the ears. The ears are decorated with gorgeous decorations. The sides are decorated with three ox heads from top to bottom, and the bottom of the ears has a prominent square drop. The front and back of the ears are also decorated with ox heads. On the back of the ears are also decorated with a ox head. The two ears have a total of two ears. Decorated with twelve cow heads, the decoration is dense and gorgeous.

In addition, the ears of the utensils are also decorated with simplified dragon patterns, which complement the overall decoration of the utensils.

There are many similarities between this bronze gui shape and the **** four ear guineas collected by the Freer Art Museum in the United States, except that it is nearly twice as big and should be the work of the same master. It is definitely one of the outstanding works of Western Zhou bronzes. .

It is not only the top quality product among the bronzes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but also of such a huge shape. The market price of this piece of copper is not less than 250 million.

Such a rare national treasure, Xiao Yao certainly could not let it stay in Ridao, and he would definitely bring it back to China.

Just walking to the door of the next treasure room, a purple light of luck appeared in Xiao Yao's divine consciousness.

This light of luck is not very dazzling, but because of this, Xiao Yao is full of expectations.

The door of the treasure room is closed, and there should be no one inside, so this light of luck must not come from someone, but from a certain artifact.

In other words, there may be a treasure of luck in this treasure room.

There is a clear difference between the light of this treasure of luck and the few treasures of luck previously obtained. Although the light of this treasure of luck is the highest grade purple, it is very restrained. If it hadn't been for Xiao Yao's Heavenly Luck Divine Art to have been greatly improved, such a restrained light of luck would not have been able to be discovered within this distance.

Walking into the treasure room, Xiao Yao's gaze fell directly on the item that radiated the purple light of luck.

To his surprise, this top-grade treasure of luck turned out to be a bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror has a round shape with a button on a beast. The shape of a beast is plump, the body structure is obvious, the limbs are strong, the back is high, the eyes are sharp, the shape is ingenious, and it looks vigorous and sensitive.

The beast has a dense and gorgeous mane, exquisite craftsmanship, and gorgeous style. Perforation under the abdomen, the back of the mirror is divided into two areas inside and outside by a round of ridges.

The eight sea beasts in the inner area have different postures, or stop and stare at the person watching this mirror; or lie on the ground and doze leisurely; or roll on the spot and face up; or accompany the small beasts to play and play, in different postures, and lifelike.

The relief of the beast above is very strong, the casting process is extremely exquisite, the depiction is delicate, the body is plump, the limbs are vigorous, the mane is slender, the expression is delicate and vivid, the eyes are bright, the composition is varied, and the composition is extremely dynamic.

This bronze mirror is extremely well cast, the pattern is extremely fine, the pattern layout is ingenious and original, the mirror body is huge and heavy, the copper quality is excellent, and the whole body is white.

Except for the few exquisite bronze mirrors in the collection of Xiaoyao's universe, this should be the most exquisite bronze mirror known in the collector's circle.

Even if this bronze mirror is not a top-grade treasure of luck, it is also a top treasure of the bronze mirror category.

"This bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty is so exquisite, and it is so perfectly preserved, it is even more rare." Xiao Yao praised it without hesitation.

"Indeed, this bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty was one of my grandmother’s dowry and one of her favorite items. This bronze mirror was placed in my grandmother’s bedroom, and I can still remember that when I was a child My grandmother often sits in front of this bronze mirror to dress up. My grandmother likes this bronze mirror so much. She has taught me how to appreciate this bronze mirror many times. I still remember what she said."

As soon as I saw Xiao Yao, Shin Iwasaki seemed to be very interested, so he simply came to him, pointed to the pattern on the bronze mirror and said: "My grandmother said that this bronze mirror was once Wu Zetian's most cherished item, and it is also the most cherished item in the world. A beautiful bronze mirror, although there is no evidence to fully prove it, she just stubbornly thinks so.

She has a lot of comments about this bronze mirror, which I can still remember clearly.

For example, from the casting process of this bronze mirror, it can be seen that the craftsman is very skilled in the physical characteristics of the beast. It not only shows its fat body, but also highlights its vigorous, lively, alert, and full of vitality. .

You can see a faint ring of thin ridges in the outer area, surrounded by grape vines and leaves, showing a vigorous and vigorous pastoral scenery. Several running beasts and flocks of birds are hidden among the grape branches and leaves. The auspicious beasts are plump and agile, and the birds have elegant feathers and hovering. Their posture is elegant and graceful.

There are also piles of fruits, rolling branches, and flowers and leaves. The vitality of grape branches and vines show the beauty of elegance and skill, which fits the aesthetic style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

My grandmother has no professional appraisal level, but what she likes the most is the exquisite pattern on the bronze mirror, which she loves to the bone. "

Such an extremely exquisite bronze mirror, any woman will love it when she sees it. Xiao Yao can fully understand it, and he went on to say: "It can be seen that your grandmother really likes this bronze mirror. It is also the best I have ever seen. An exquisite bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty.

The bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty is the third peak in the history of ancient bronze mirrors in China. And this sea beast grape mirror embodies the most exquisite bronze mirror casting process during this peak period.

The appearance of the sea animal grape mirror is a concrete practice of high-relief art in a creative art form with a bronze mirror as a carrier, and the aesthetics it brings to people are groundbreaking.

This side of the sea beast grape mirror is gorgeous, rich, and exquisite. The size of the bronze mirror and the superb high-relief casting technique can fully reflect this.

The combination of the beauty of the circle and the tension and the three-dimensional form of high relief is really translucent and brilliant!

The above sea animal grape pattern not only reflects the superb casting craftsmanship at that time, but its artistic tension is even more amazing. "

Xiao Yao pointed his finger at the middle part of the bronze mirror, "Look at the eight sea beasts around here, they have different postures. They are dancing, crawling, wagging their tails, or gaining momentum, or raising their claws. Standing still, extremely dynamic and varied, the image is realistic and the posture is exaggerated, and the atmosphere is rising.

It is decorated with Yeman grapes in a symmetrical pattern to decorate the scene of the group of beasts changing, which has played an artistic beauty to set off the main image.

The week in the outer area is a prosperous scene composed of walking beasts, birds, bees and butterflies and grape patterns.

The birds are in circles, each with their postures, the beasts galloping and leaping, full of majestic posture, the bee and butterfly models, flutter and fall, the grape pattern is lingering, stretched and stretched, and the beasts, birds, bees and butterflies are unified throughout, forming a picture A scene of jubilant weather.

Look at the gorgeous decorations on the edge of the mirror this week, like a clever drawing of crescent eyebrows, adding a new look.

Such exquisite craftsmanship and strong artistic performance make this sea beast grape mirror very artistic.

Although it cannot be said that this bronze mirror was once used by Wu Zetian, it must be an imperial item of the Tang Dynasty court. This is absolutely certain. "

Although there is indeed no sufficient evidence to prove that this bronze mirror was used by Wu Zetian, Xiao Yao is still inclined to this view. Otherwise, it is impossible for this bronze mirror to gather purple luck and become the treasure of high-grade luck.

And if this bronze mirror used to be Wu Zetian's imperial bronze mirror, it would be reasonable.

Xiao Yao was of course very happy when he got a top-grade Qi Luck Treasure again. What made him even more happy was that this top-grade Qi Luck Treasure had condensed a very large purple Qi Luck, and it had reached the point that it could hold it. The limit.

For the few treasures of air transport that Xiao Yao had obtained in the past, the air transport accumulated for countless years has not reached the limit that can be accommodated, so it cannot be absorbed for the time being.

But the air luck of this treasure of air luck has reached its limit, and it cannot continue to be absorbed. It must wait for Xiao Yao to absorb it before it can continue to gather more air luck.

The air transport limit that each piece of air transport treasure can hold is different, and the air transport limit that this bronze mirror can hold is undoubtedly amazing.

The total amount is equivalent to 70 times the luck of Yoshiaki Yasuda!

This number is a bit too amazing, and no surprise is enough to describe Xiao Yao's mood at this time.

Xiao Yao was already content to harvest another top-grade lucky treasure in this treasure room, but what he didn't expect was that such surprises would come one after another.

In the next treasure room, he unexpectedly found another treasure of luck, and it was also a top-grade treasure of luck with restrained light and overflowing purple luck.

This treasure of luck is a bronze ware from the mid-Western Zhou dynasty-Taishi Fengshou!

This Taishi has a thick and stubborn shape, with a round neck and an extravagant mouth. It is shaped like a trumpet with a cover and a hand. The two sides are decorated with a pair of rounded dragon heads to catch the hands. The dragon head is convex in the shape of a tadpole. The common semi-annular ear ring is quite different from the normal ear ring.

The circle foot is splayed outwards, and the diameter of the foot and the abdomen are not much different. The cover and abdomen are both decorated with vertical string patterns, and the neck and ring feet are each decorated with a thick string pattern. The cover and the device have the same name.

The most precious part of this bronze ware is the 7 lines and 70 words cast on the inside of the cover and the bottom of the vessel: "After the first month of the first lunar month, the king is in the Zhoushi measurement palace. Dan, the royal family of Wangge, ascends the throne. Zhong Ting. Wang Huzaichang bestowed Taishi Fenghuqiu. Feng worshiped the chieftain. He dared to show off to the emperor Yang, Pi, and used it as a treasure. Feng Qi was used as an eternal treasure. Only ten and two years."

Such a complete inscription is too rare, and has very high research value and historical significance.

Quanming's general idea is: in the first month of the twelfth year, the moon phase is the first sight, and the stems and branches are the Jiawu day, and the king of Zhou came to the Shiliang Palace. In the early morning, the king entered the central room and took his seat, and ordered Shi Chenxuan to call Taishi Huan into the door of the room and stand in the middle of the front steps of the hall. The king ordered Zai Chang to give the Taishi a tiger fur suit. Feng Xing bows and bows to the great salute, praising and grateful to the emperor's good grace. Therefore, Baogui is cast and will be treasured and used forever for generations to come.

Xiao Yao didn't know if this bronze ware could become the treasure of high-grade luck. It was because of Zhou Wang or Taishi.

If it is because of Zhou Wang, it is a logical thing to be able to become the treasure of high-grade luck. If it is because of the Taishi, it means that this Taishi is also a person with purple luck.

Taishizhen, the master of this Gui, his name is Feng, and he served as the Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty.

Taishi was one of the highest officials in the Zhou dynasty. Together with Taifu and Taibao, he was called the San Gong. This position can be regarded as one person with less than 10,000 people, and it can be regarded as a high-ranking official position in modern times.

It is normal for such a high-ranking official to have purple luck. It is understandable that this bronze ware he often uses has become the treasure of high-grade luck.
