The acceptance expert group believes that the restored Five Cows scroll is in full color and has no trace of the brush connection at the patchwork, and remains consistent with the original painting.
The watch workmanship is excellent, the watch parts are smooth and beautiful, and it has reached a high level of watch decoration and repair.
This is the value of the painting in front of Chen Wenzhe. It was copied by the expert team that restored the Five Cows painting.
Although this is an imitation, it can be restored to the level of "the full color of the replacement part and the brush connection without showing any trace, and it remains unified with the original painting." The copied Five Cows painting, Could it be worse?
You must know that the authentic Five Cows Picture will not be publicly displayed until 2021. Even then, not everyone can see it at any time.
And how lucky he, Chen Wenzhe, is to be able to obtain such a replica and display it in his private museum?
Zhang Yijie must have been careful, otherwise such an imitation of the Five Bulls would not be so easy to obtain, even if you have money, you wouldn't be able to buy it!
There is a sentence in the "Horse Theory" by Han Yu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "Thousand-mile horses are always there, but Bole is not always there." It talks about the fact that talented people fail to recognize their talents.
This sentence is also applicable in the cultural and museum world: "Treasures are always found, but people who know treasures are not always found." Not every treasure will be spotted by Bole.
There are many precious cultural relics in our country that are either collected in major museums, buried underground, scattered in every corner of the people, or lost overseas.
Some of them were mistaken for ordinary utensils or even damaged due to people's weak awareness of cultural relic protection, which became a major tragedy in the history of archaeology.
Of course, there are also treasures that have been excavated, protected and restored.
For example, the Five Cows Picture is just such a piece. It was restored by the top experts in the country.
During the repair process, a copy was also made.
Zhang Yijie, Cao Qingchun and Zheng Yu all presented a treasure, but what about Li Jinli?
The three of them are Chen Wenzhe's dormitory classmates, but Li Jinli is different.
However, now that they are all considered successful and moderately successful, they will naturally not deal with Chen Wenzhe casually.
Li Jinli was no exception, so he carefully prepared a gift.
Coincidentally, the thing he gave me was also a replica.
"Brother, you can do it!"
Chen Wenzhe was still very surprised when he saw the long hollow bronze vessel.
Li Jinli laughed: "This is all due to you. Without you, who else would give me face? You must know that even if this thing is a replica, it is also a national treasure. It can be displayed as a treasure in any museum in the country. out."
While looking at it, Chen Wenzhe nodded. This is a bronze ban. To be precise, it should be a Spring and Autumn Cloud Pattern Bronze Ban.
When the National Treasure Cloud Pattern Copper Forbidden City was first discovered, it was badly damaged, but it was eventually repaired.
Spring and Autumn Cloud Pattern Bronze Ban, the whole is cast using the lost wax method, the craftsmanship is exquisite and complex.
In 2002, it was listed as one of the first 64 cultural relics prohibited from overseas exhibition by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
This replica of a spring and autumn cloud-patterned copper ban is also 103 centimeters long.
This is just over one meter, and its overall length is 124 cm, its maximum width is 47.3 cm, its overall width is 68.3 cm, its maximum height is 14.5 cm, and its overall height is 29.5 cm.
The entire copper ban weighs 95.5 kilograms and is rectangular in shape.
For such a large bronze vessel, what does its shape look like?
Twelve dragon-shaped beasts have their heads held high, their bellies swollen and their tails raised; the crown ornaments on the top of their heads and the horn ornaments on both sides are embossed with perforated cloud patterns, and tail flowers are inserted into the tails of the beasts.
The animal head faces the forbidden face, opens its mouth and sticks out its tongue, and the tongue rolls up to the top of the forbidden face, as if its eyes are staring at the fine wine on the forbidden face, salivating.
There are 12 dragon-shaped beasts at the bottom of the forbidden area, supporting the forbidden body, with the chest raised and the waist concave.
The cloud pattern copper ban consists of three parts: the forbidden body, 12 dragon-shaped attached beasts, and 12 dragon-shaped seat beasts.
The forbidden body consists of a forbidden surface and surrounding side walls. The wall thickness is less than 5 cm and is hollow.
There are five layers of structure in the thickness of the copper bar, which is less than 5 centimeters.
The fifth layer is composed of extra thick straight copper stems forming a mouth shape;
One end of the fourth layer of thin copper stems is attached to the fifth layer of square-shaped copper stems. It stretches flat and then bends upward or upward, bifurcates upward and then supports the third layer of copper stems;
The third layer of copper stems is a thinner straight stem; the second layer stands on the third layer of copper stems and is a small round column that gradually becomes thinner or a herringbone column with forks below.
These four layers of copper stems are interspersed and connected to form a rectangular frame, which supports the moiré pattern and plays a stabilizing and load-bearing role.
The first and outermost layer is moiré, which is mostly composed of c-shaped patterns, deformed herringbone patterns and x-shaped patterns. They intersect but do not intersect with each other, forming a transparent moiré plane.
The middle of the forbidden surface consists of a rectangular flat copper plate, and there is a reinforcing beam on the back of the copper plate.
There are 12 sprues on the four corners of the base and the lower end of the ban, and above the buttocks of the 12 beasts supporting the copper ban, with remaining pillars remaining at the sprues.
On the bottom of the forbidden side, at the midpoint of every two beasts, there are 12 riser marks.
There are 12 dragon-shaped monsters clinging around the forbidden area, four at the front and back, and two at the left and right sides.
The attached beast and the forbidden body are combined by mortises and tenons. There are 12 mortises and tenons on the forbidden body, and there is a mortise and tenon on each of the 12 attached beasts' bellies.
The same is true for the foot beast. There are 12 protruding pillars at the bottom of the ban, and there is a hole at the waist of the foot beast that can be inserted through.
It was such a large, complex, and finely crafted bronze vessel. When it was discovered, it looked like a ball of debris!
It was late summer 1977, and the water level of the Danjiang Reservoir in southwestern Nam Ha Province dropped.
A thousand-year-old ancient tomb hidden deep under the reservoir was washed open, and a large number of bronzes and jades were washed out of the Danjiang River and exposed on both sides of the Danjiang River.
After receiving the report, the local cultural relics management department immediately rushed to the scene and began the work of collecting scattered cultural relics and on-site exploration.
After some exploration, archaeologists discovered that this place was a group of ancient tombs with dense tombs.
However, due to the onset of the rainy season and the rising water level in the Danjiang River, the excavation work was interrupted.
The next year, the cultural relics department immediately conducted a rescue excavation of this cemetery.
At that time, a total of 24 Chu tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period and some Han tombs were excavated, and many valuable cultural relics were unearthed.
Among them, a complete set of bronze ritual vessels was unearthed from Tomb No. 2. Among the many fine products unearthed, the cloud pattern copper ban is one of them.
The Spring and Autumn Chu Tombs in Xichuan Temple, Nanyang, can have such dimensions and there can be so many ancient tombs, it must be related to the geographical location.
Nanyang Xichuan County is located in the southwest of Hen Province, bordering Xishan to the west and Beihu to the south.
The north and east are connected to the Funiu Mountains, Danjiang River, and Xishui River running through the entire territory.
The Sichuan area where the Danjiang River meets the Xi River, and Shunyang in the lower reaches of the Danjiang River are flat and fertile, and were the main gathering places for ancient humans in this area.
Xiasi is located at the foot of Longshan Mountain on the west bank of the Danjiang River, fifty kilometers south of Xichuan County, and six kilometers east of the west bank of the Danjiang River.
Here is a Buddhist temple with strong incense, echoing the upper temple in the northwest.
Unfortunately, since the Danjiang Reservoir was built to store water, most of Xiasi and Longshan have been flooded.
