Chapter 102 This is a national treasure

Chen Wenzhe turned around and pulled Li Qingtian to the back of the stall. After the transaction was completed, the temporary use rights of the stall would be theirs.

Li Qingtian carefully opened the suitcase and took out a thick stack of standard contracts.

This is specially printed for the purpose of selling gold bricks. After all, there are one hundred gold bricks, and one contract for one gold brick requires one hundred copies!

"Do you really have gold bricks?" Those watching the excitement were already a little dumbfounded.

Chen Wenzhe didn't say anything. Anyway, the buyers who bought the gold bricks had already left. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for them to carry such heavy gold bricks.

If not for this, he really wouldn't dare to take out these gold bricks again, otherwise he would be beaten.

After signing the contract, I spent 30,000 yuan to buy this Four-Yang Square Zun.

This big guy weighing seventy pounds is really a treasure because it is heavy enough.

After sending away the stall owner, Chen Wenzhe, the official stall owner, took over.

The stall owner kept the wooden box in which the Four-Yang Fang Zun was stored, so Chen Wenzhe placed the Four-Yang Fang Zun on the wooden box and examined it carefully.

He couldn't tell anything else, but it looked very similar to the imitation anyway. What he could see were traces of wear and tear.

Especially some details, such as the raised parts of the decoration, are the traces that are carefully and slowly brushed out with a small brush, little by little, little by little.

Not to mention anything else, just this patience can put countless old-fashioned guys in modern times to shame!

Labor is very valuable now. Who would spend months, or even years, slowly aging a replica?

The most important thing is, after spending countless efforts, can the final product be sold for the labor cost?

Therefore, modern high imitations are all made in a hurry for quick success and it is absolutely impossible to make them so meticulously.

"It's not a modern imitation, so when was it made?"

"No, that piece was only discovered by He Zun in 1963. Even if it was copied back then, it is only about fifty years old now. Maybe the master of imitation is still alive today!"

Thinking about it this way, Chen Wenzhe felt something was wrong. The craftsmanship of this Four-Yang Fang Zun seemed to be in the same vein as He Zun's craftsmanship. It was even the work of the same person.

If that were the case, the Siyang Fangzun would have been a work of nearly fifty years, but he could tell that the signs of wear and tear were more than fifty years old.

The signs of distress and aging are more than fifty years old. This piece should have been made much earlier.

Therefore, if He Zun was imitated after the founding of the People's Republic of China, then this Four-Sheep Square Zun was probably imitated during the Republic of China.

The Siyang Fangzun is a bronze ritual vessel and sacrificial item in the late Shang Dynasty.

Unearthed in 1938, it is now collected in the National Museum of China.

This thing is so famous. It is the largest existing Shang Dynasty bronze square statue in China. Each side is 52.4 cm long, 58.3 cm high, and weighs 34.5 kg.

It was close to seventy pounds. Chen Wenzhe simply took out his mobile phone, found the information of Siyang Fangzun, and compared it with the one in his hand.

It has a long neck, high round feet, and a towering neck. The four sides are decorated with banana leaf patterns, triangular Kui patterns and animal face patterns.

It's exactly the same, exactly the same.

After moving it vigorously, I found that the middle part of the statue is the center of gravity of the vessel. Each of the four corners of the statue is shaped like a sheep. The four corners of the shoulder are four sheep heads with curled horns. The sheep head and neck protrude from the outside of the vessel. The body and legs of the sheep are

Attached to the belly and feet of the statue.

At the same time, the shoulders of the Fang Zun are decorated with high-relief dragon patterns with snake bodies and claws. In the center of the four sides of the statue, where the two sheep are next to each other, a pair of horned dragon heads protrudes from the table, winding from each right shoulder of the Fang Zun to the middle of the front room.

.

If you look closely, you will find that the Siyang Fangzun was cast using a two-step casting technique, that is, the horns and the faucet are cast individually, then they are placed separately in the outer mold, and then cast as a whole.

The entire object was cast using the block mold method, which was completed in one go and was ingeniously crafted, showing a superb level of casting.

This method is called "the ultimate bronze example" by historians, so the Siyang Fang Zun is ranked among the top ten national treasures handed down from generation to generation.

There is no difference between such imitations and the real ones.

I really don’t know whose work this is?

Chen Wenzhe remembered that similar bronzes were unearthed that year, including human-faced square tripods, etc. He wondered if the master of high imitation had imitated them?

If he imitates it and buys it, then he can really open a high imitation national treasure museum.

It's a pity that the boss only has so many high-imitation copperwares in his hands.

The last four-goat square statue was mainly hidden because he felt it was too shameful to put it on the stall.

It was also because of this that when he first started selling the things on the stall, he didn't mention the Siyang Fangzun. After the transaction was completed, he tentatively took it out and wanted to sell it.

Chen Wenzhe did not disappoint him. He actually paid 30,000 yuan to buy this Siyang Zun.

"Little boss, do you want the Four-Yang Fang Zun? I also have one here, it must be older than this one!"

There are already a lot of people watching the fun here, and the stall owners here have become famous in the past few weeks, so naturally more people will pay attention to this place.

Now that I saw Chen Wenzhe and bought Siyang Fangzun, someone immediately discovered the opportunity.

Who doesn’t have a few national treasures? What is the Four-Yang Fang Zun? Many people have handled the Stepmother Wu Ding.

"How much does your Four-Sheep Fangzun weigh? I want one that weighs nearly seventy kilograms. If there is still this kind of craftsmanship, I want as much as I want!"

Chen Wenzhe touched the precious treasure in his hand, feeling like he couldn't put it down.

If this thing wasn't too heavy, he would definitely hold it in his arms and study it carefully.

Really unable to bear it anymore, Chen Wenzhe wanted to activate the system and complete an independent inheritance. He wanted to see if he could learn such a superb bronze making technology.

"As for that? You look very perverted, do you know that?"

At this moment, Li Qingtian couldn't stand it anymore. The main reason was that Chen Wenzhe was stroking Siyang Fangzun, which was a bit like stroking a beautiful woman. It made people's skin crawl.

"What do you know? This is a national treasure!"

"You can pull it down, can a national treasure appear here? Can it be bought by you for 30,000 yuan?" Li Qingtian sneered.

Chen Wenzhe laughed and said, "Don't you understand? Let me tell you, this treasure is in better condition than the real Siyang Fangzun, don't you believe it?"

"Young man, you are very knowledgeable. You are right. This one is in better condition than the one in the museum."

At this moment, Professor Wang, who wanted to buy gold bricks, came over.

They didn't buy gold bricks, so naturally they weren't dragged down, so they stayed in the market.

Seeing the excitement here, I was attracted here.

Unexpectedly, when I came over, I saw a whole stall of high imitations.

"Is this Four-Sheep Square Zun pretty good?"

Li Qingtian was a little dumbfounded: "They are also available at other stalls. According to what you said, those are also good things?"
