A large number of musical instruments were buried in the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng. There are a large number of music theory and temperament inscriptions in the bell and chime inscriptions, which shows the importance that Marquis Yi of Zeng attached to the manufacture of musical instruments and the study of music during his lifetime.
There are also a large number of extremely finely cast bronze treasures in the tomb, as well as exquisite paintings, sculptures and calligraphy.
Moreover, a large number of cultural relics are not artifacts from the underworld, but items used by Zeng Houyi during his lifetime, and most of them were made under his personal supervision.
This shows that he has broad interests, multi-faceted talents and high artistic appreciation.
It can be said that archaeological discoveries combined with the research results of handed down bronzes have made up for the lack of historical data and allowed us to re-understand the status of the Nangong family in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
These are also bronzes, especially bronzes with inscriptions. Why are there restrictions on the sale and purchase of these bronzes?
Because it is important, because it carries the rich history of our country.
No matter how slow you go, you will eventually reach the end of the journey.
However, when Chen Wenzhe got in the car, he found that the people who came to pick him up were not Zhang Yijie, Cao Qingchun and Zheng Yu, but Professor Tao.
"Teacher, why are you here?" Chen Wenzhe said with a surprised look on his face.
Professor Tao smiled with a smile on his face: "Why can't I be here? I am well-informed, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to stop you!"
"Do I still need to block it? As soon as I come back, I will definitely go see the teacher." Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
"It's not necessary. The main reason is that your harvest this time is really too great. By the way, someone asked me to ask you if you would like to donate a little." Professor Tao said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe was stunned when he heard this. He had already communicated with Professor Tao that many porcelains needed to be donated.
Otherwise, how long will it take for him to repair it himself?
Not to mention anything else, he just couldn't bear the cost of time!
Besides, as time went by, he was also afraid that many of the porcelains salvaged from the sea would be damaged.
Therefore, before returning to China, Chen Wenzhe had already told Professor Tao that a large number of porcelain fished from the sea would definitely be donated.
Among them, Dahai City definitely has the most, and the other divine cities, Hangzhou, and Jinling all have a small share.
Even Dehua, Fushi, Quanshi and other seaport cities at that time will receive a large number of donations.
Now that it's over, Professor Tao actually hasn't vomited until now. This leaves him a lot of room!
"No matter how large the quantity is, we cannot give it away easily. Even if we don't use it, it would still look good if we pile it up there." Professor Tao still said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe nodded. There must be a reason for Professor Tao to have this idea.
Since he didn't expect it, just follow Professor Tao's arrangement.
However, now is the opportunity. Since he wants to send away a large number of antique porcelain from the sea, wouldn't it be easy to exchange for a few antiques?
You must know that the Qing Palace Bird Book and the Small Tripod he saw did not belong to the Dahai Municipal Government.
Besides, he paid a price to get something, which means it belongs to him in name, but in the end, doesn’t it stay in Dahai City and put it in his museum?
At Chen Wenzhe's level, what's the difference between his things and the country's things?
What Chen Wenzhe has obtained now is only the custody rights of things, because he cannot trust those institutions and experts.
For example, some patriots in China donated a batch of dragon bones worth more than 1,000 pieces.
Everyone knows this thing. If it can be donated, it must be a treasure with oracle bones.
However, just such a batch of things was stolen or burned, and it was gone anyway.
There are also a lot of other bullshit. For example, many museums were emptied out in the early years, and all the items were replaced with fakes and sold overseas for auction. Can you believe this now?
But this is the fact. Although the domestic environment has improved a lot in recent years, Chen Wenzhe has the conditions, so why not protect some national treasures by himself?
Now with Chen Wenzhe's influence, he is really not afraid of some accidents and troubles.
Therefore, he directly told Professor Tao about his treasure hunting journey.
There was nothing much to talk about at sea, mainly at home, so in the end he mentioned the Qing Palace Bird Book and the Bronze Tripod.
I didn't say a small Yu tripod, just a bronze tripod.
However, Professor Tao was also a little stunned.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It must be true. The clue I got in South Vietnam was the treasure information left by some patriots who ran to Wanwan. Their descendants spread this information for various reasons, so I could get it.
"
Seeing that Professor Tao still didn't believe it, Chen Wenzhe said again: "I just verified one thing, which is the corner of the old house."
"No wonder you want to go ashore here!"
Professor Tao no longer doubted that, no matter what, this was a good thing.
"I originally planned to donate it, but I didn't expect that the teacher still held the large amount of porcelain from the sea in his hands. In this way, I can keep these two treasures in my own museum."
"Are you planning to keep that bronze tripod?"
After hesitating for a while, Professor Tao asked.
"Isn't it easy? I heard that there are many inscriptions, so they must be very famous." Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
He couldn't smile too openly this time, because he was afraid of losing his teeth.
"It's not difficult at all. It's just that a big tree attracts the wind. However, you have become a big tree now, so you are not afraid of this. I will do it." Professor Tao made up his mind.
Recently, using Chen Wenzhe's resources, he is no longer just a university professor, nor is he a simple artist.
Now, at least in Dahai City, he still has some influence.
"I can't let the teachers and the school work in vain. I also got a lot of clues to the treasures." Chen Wenzhe immediately reciprocated the favor.
"Treasure?" Professor Tao said in surprise.
Chen Wenzhe chuckled and said: "Teacher, I not only salvaged sunken ships, but also dug up a lot of treasures left by the little Japs during World War II."
"It's from the Japs? From Southeast Asia? It's well dug. It's not their stuff anyway, but it still needs to be kept secret."
Professor Tao's generation is more patriotic and more aware of the suffering our country suffered back then. Naturally, they have no good impression of the little devil.
However, after all, they are robbing things from Southeast Asia, so Chen Wenzhe still needs to keep a low profile, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
Chen Wenzhe immediately said: "There is an underground fortress in the northeast, and there are some hidden treasures in it. When I sort out the information, I will send it to you. After all, it is the wealth of the country, and I can't dig it out and devour it for myself."
"We have one here too?" Professor Tao looked at Chen Wenzhe in surprise. Isn't this such good luck?
"It is also luck to go to sea this time. I was on the last sunken ship. I also gained something. Regarding the old owner of the treasure in the last transport ship, teacher, you will never guess."
"The last sunken ship? The one from the Qing Dynasty? Can it still prevent people from going to sea? Is it Hongmen?"
Professor Tao knew some information about Chen Wenzhe's salvage of sunken ships, so he guessed it right away.
