Chapter 1020: Seeing the sky, stretching out, talking in the mirror
The ancient tomb has been hidden underground for countless years and will definitely be destroyed.
If the location of the internal burial objects could be accurately inferred, wouldn't it be easier to excavate?
If it is a stolen ancient tomb, you can infer how many cultural relics were stolen from some of the remaining damaged vessels.
For example, if we know the identity of the owner of the tomb, we may know that three tripods and two gui were stolen.
For those who don’t know, it will feel like they are just making random guesses.
It would feel amazing if the facts were proven correct.
Only knowledgeable people know that it is not difficult to infer this information!
However, to excavate an ancient tomb, you must first determine the owner of the tomb.
Only in this way can we determine what period it was in, what kind of burial customs it was at that time, and what items were preferred to be buried with it.
For example, in the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they are the tombs of nobles, there is a high possibility that Tang Sancai will appear in them.
If a Tang tomb is robbed, one can deduce from the remaining pottery, especially the fragments of the three-color horse, from the shape and color of the pottery, whether the entire burial assemblage consists of six or eight horses.
Does this make it possible to pursue stolen goods in a targeted manner? This kind of thing was not uncommon in the past few years!
Chen Wenzhe still has a lot of knowledge related to professional archeology, but Wu San doesn't seem to be very interested.
Chen Wenzhe glanced at Wu San. He seemed unwilling to listen to such a simple exchange of knowledge. At this time, he was already a little restless.
Since he didn't want to hear it, Chen Wenzhe said no more.
But Chen Wenzhe didn't want to talk anymore, and the two old men were not happy.
Chen Wenzhe didn't speak, and Lao Zhou directly took over the topic.
"Everything you pay attention to is a sign of knowledge!" He praised Chen Wenzhe realistically.
After all, what Chen Wenzhe said this time was more specific and detailed. Even Wu San, who was ignorant and incompetent, thought he had learned some useful knowledge.
It's just that the purpose of his coming here this time is not to study!
This knowledge made him a little excited when he first heard about it. If he didn't still have some sense, he would really want to go find an ancient tomb to verify it.
However, he was not interested when it came to some professional knowledge.
He's heard so much that he can't even remember it, so what's the use?
"We don't really know much about the situation in the ancient tomb, but we have seen a lot of things that have seen the sky."
I had heard Chen Wenzhe say so much before, and while he was listening intently, he stopped talking, and Lao Zhou couldn't sit still.
People say a lot of useful things, and they can't just listen.
Seeing the sky refers to the fact that after ancient porcelain came out, it was exposed to the sun and was said to "see the sky", and it was also said to "remove the yin energy".
In fact, this approach does great harm to ancient porcelain.
Once exposed to the sun, porcelain that should not have cracked will also develop new cracks.
Glaze loss and injuries caused by stripping often occur when the weather is high.
There are many ancient porcelains on the market, but there are new pieces on the glaze, and their roots are in seeing the sky.
There are a lot of blind spots, which are not intentional, but are caused by not caring about them and being exposed to wind and sun.
There are too many examples of new patterns being opened due to seeing the sky, and being misjudged as new imitations.
Since there is damage, the price is not high, and naturally it is easy for people to collect it in large quantities.
Valley reclamation
The two old men really have a lot of experience with this kind of porcelain.
No wonder they mentioned sawing porcelain before. It seems that their repair skills are really not simple.
After finishing talking about the techniques for repairing porcelain, I finally talked about anecdotes. This was caused by the porcelain that saw the sky, because it needed to remove the yin energy!
"Boss Chen, have you ever heard of stretchers? That's a good thing." Lao Zhou asked.
Chen Wenzhe had really heard of it. Not only had he heard of the stretcher, but he also knew the mirror talk.
"Stretching the waist" means that the ancient porcelain was in good shape when it was kiln, but after being buried for thousands of years, due to gravity and squeezing for thousands of years, it was obviously deformed, and when it came out again, it was not in the right shape.
However, after being laid flat for eight or nine years, it will gradually return to the upright shape it had when it came out of the kiln, commonly known as "stretching its waist."
The product is genuine and has at least two stress points. There are obvious extrusion marks and aging marks on the stress points, as well as metal spots, also known as golden spots.
The reason why Chen Wenzhe knows this is because this kind of ancient porcelain is easy to pick up and leak.
It's very simple to say. If a piece of porcelain is unearthed and has been transformed, can it be sold at a higher price?
Porcelain is deformed? What nonsense are you talking about!
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that a deformed porcelain must have been burned out during the kiln firing!
This is the perception of ordinary people. If you don't know that porcelain can be deformed instead of broken, then you may treat it as a scrap if you see it.
If this kind of porcelain is left for eight or nine years and returns to normal, it will definitely sell for a high price.
However, tomb robbers never have this patience!
Of course, Chen Wenzhe believes that not many tomb robbers have this knowledge reserve.
Therefore, if you encounter the kind of porcelain with a large opening and deformed shape, you should pay attention.
If there are traces of extrusion, stains, and metal gold spots, then you should suspect that it is a stretched product.
When you encounter this kind of ancient porcelain, you don’t need to think too much, just buy it.
Chen Fuji has not been mentioned before, and generally refers to traces of organic matter.
Such as traces of clothing, traces of food, and rotten paper and hair, etc.
Naturally, this kind of thing is most common in ancient tombs, and most people can't see it. Even if unearthed antiquities are discovered, the traces on them have usually been cleaned up long ago.
When it comes to archeology, Chen Wenzhe is definitely a professional. Even if he has not taken the exam a few times, he has seen a lot in his dreams!
After glancing at Wu San, Chen Wenzhe smiled and started talking about Mirror Talk. What is Mirror Talk? It means that the mirror wants to talk!
"Can the mirror talk?" Wu San asked curiously.
Lao Zhou and Lao Li, after all, are old enough. Although they don't know much about these things, they still know a little about the functions and meanings of the bronze mirrors placed in the ancient tombs.
So when they saw Wu San being curious, their behavior was rather strange.
Chen Wenzhe said with a smile: "Actually, many things in the tomb have their own meanings. If you understand, you can infer many things through the placement of things, and the mirror is one of them."
Wu San's face looked a little uncomfortable. Only then did he realize that this was what the mirror said. It was the mirror in the tomb!
Who are the people buried with mirrors? Most of them are women!
Chen Wenzhe didn't care about the look on Wu Sanna's face, he just kept talking.
Speaking of mirrors buried with ancient tombs, there are definitely many of them, and the most famous one is probably the Tang Mirror.
Most people are very happy when they see ancient bronze mirrors, such as the four-breasted ray mirror, dragon pattern mirror, dragon pattern mirror, four mountain pattern mirror, five mountain pattern mirror, folding rhombus pattern mirror, and deformed three dragons from the Warring States Period.
Pattern mirror.
Others are more famous in the Tang Dynasty, such as the Twelve Zodiac Mirrors, the Lianxing Shenye Immortal Birds and Auspicious Beasts Mirror, the Lingshan Tuan Pattern Mirror, the Lingshan Six Beasts Inscription Mirror, the Four Divine Mirrors, the Five Auspicious Beasts Grape Mirror, and the Six Auspicious Beasts Mirror.
Grape mirror, flower and bird mirror with handle, etc.
