"Is this the golden dragon? This is also a golden dragon made using silk inlay technology!" Chen Wenzhe said in great surprise.
If Chen Xingchen hadn't said it first just now, Chen Wenzhe would have thought that Li Tianqiang was cooperating with Chen Xingchen, which made him happy!
Li Tianqiang chuckled and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? My brother and the others have built a museum. The boss must have seen it. There is a Dragon Court inside. I didn't want to join in the fun, so I asked someone to find a few small objects.
For example, I can't find the eight-thousand-year-old stone dragon, but I can still find the five-thousand-year-old jade dragon and the exquisite golden dragon. Of course, it must be a coincidence and it's not a cut of Manager Chen's Hu.
"
Having said this, Li Tianqiang was very proud.
There is no way, he is the director of the hospital. If anyone can get more favors, who is more powerful than the director of the hospital?
So, he just let the wind go a little bit and got a lot of treasures.
Many things may not have high market value, but their historical value is truly high.
Li Tianqiang received Li Jinli's guidance and naturally knew Chen Wenzhe's current vision. He must not only look at the market value, but also the historical value.
Of course, he is not stupid. The things he gets on the surface and have a good reputation must be good-looking and of high value, definitely not those tattered and broken stones.
Chen Wenzhe smiled and picked up the golden dragon. It was a golden dragon inlaid with silk.
This kind of technology is not very top-notch, but in the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely be a treasure.
This piece of silk is inlaid with a golden dragon. The dragon's head is stretched flat, the forehead is bulged, the long horns are rolled back, the mouth is open and the tongue is stuck out, the upper jaw is tilted, and the front teeth are exposed.
The dragon's body is straight-cylindrical, and its back belly is slightly deformed, but this can be repaired.
The main reason is its production process, which uses winding, hammering, welding and inlay techniques, which allowed Chen Wen to learn a lot.
Of course, I just learned some skills. After all, Chen Wenzhe has recently been exposed to gold wire weaving and inlaid jewelry, and has even made a lot of them himself.
Looking at the other items, there are a total of 5 unearthed cultural relics related to "dragon".
The first one is definitely not this golden dragon, and the most expensive and valuable thing is definitely not this golden dragon, but a set of golden chimes.
This set of golden chimes is not small, so Li Tianqiang did not bring it in immediately, but wanted to make a big splash.
So when Chen Wenzhe and Chen Xingchen were checking the golden dragon, he had someone send it in.
You can recognize this kind of thing just by looking at it.
If Chen Wenzhe remembers correctly, this set of golden chimes should be a national treasure known as the most beautiful bell in the world.
There are 16 such golden chimes, which are cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty. One set is now in the Palace Museum.
The height of the golden chime clock is 28 cm, and the maximum diameter is 16.5 cm.
It was cast during the Qianlong period and used in major ceremonies. After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, it was secretly sold to the palace.
There are rumors that it was once hidden in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the United States, wandered abroad for 29 years, and finally returned to China.
So strange, where did this set come from?
It is impossible that there was a spare set in the Qing Palace back then, and it ended up in the hands of Li Tianqiang?
Don't tell me, this is really possible.
For example, although the longevity vase is very difficult to make, the more difficult it is to make something for the royal family, the more necessary it is to prepare substitutes.
Because if something goes wrong with the genuine product, you can make up for the mistake.
Otherwise, given the feudal royal nature, if you don't do it well, the whole family will probably lose their heads.
When facing life and death, there is absolutely no harm in being better prepared.
"You are really serious, can you even find such a treasure?" Chen Xingchen looked at Li Tianqiang with contempt.
This kid had always acted naively before and never said what surprise he wanted to give Chen Wenzhe.
"I can't help it. We can't forget the kindness of meeting someone. Among us, my academic qualifications are not very good, and the industry I am engaged in is too professional. If I don't curry favor with the big boss, how can I, the dean, still be able to do my job safely?"
Looking at Li Tianqiang with the news on his face, Chen Xingchen felt extremely disappointed.
This guy is a model with a pig-like face and a bright heart.
Don't look at him as a bit naive on the surface, even accepting death, but this kid is definitely not stupid!
Some people even think that this guy is a representative of great wisdom and foolishness.
Because of his resignation, he is now regarded as a perseverant, a new and good young man who does not change his original intention and keeps his mission in mind.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe didn't care about their secret battle. He still cared about the things in his hands the most.
This set of golden chimes is really not simple.
The whole thing is well preserved, and even looks like it still has a bit of a bright golden luster.
Such a set of gold products, no matter what era it was placed in, should be the most prized work of art.
If coupled with their era and background, the value is even more amazing.
After a little inspection, Chen Wenzhe was once again sure that the item was genuine, and he could tell.
After all, it is a gold product appraisal. Chen Wenzhe can tell whether it is old or not just by looking at the color.
This set of golden chimes is at least two hundred years old. It would not be wrong to say that it dates from the Qianlong period.
Since it is genuine, is it a substitute for another set, or is it genuine and the other set is a substitute?
If you want to see if something like this is a replica, you need to look at the craftsmanship.
So, Chen Wenzhe took the things and looked at them carefully.
There is definitely no problem with gold, it just depends on the level of its production technology.
This set of gold braids cast by Qianlong cost 11,439 taels of gold.
A complete set of gold coins weighs thirteen thousand six hundred and forty-seven taels.
Compared with today's gold products, the gold in the Qianlong period was impure.
However, the technology of this set of golden chimes is not simple. At least it breaks the tradition of using copper to cast chimes in our country.
The heaviest among them is the "Wushe Golden Bell", and the lightest is the "Beiying Bell".
There is an inscription on it, and the inscription is "The Fifty-Fiveth Year of Qianlong".
After arranging the bells from low to high, you can play beautiful music by striking them.
In the fifty-fifth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1790), in order to celebrate the eightieth birthday of Emperor Hongli, the governors of various provinces gathered gold and sent it to the Qing Palace.
Afterwards, sixteen gold chimes were carefully designed and cast by palace craftsmen.
This is regarded as a tribute during the "Wanshou Festival", used to show off the wealth in the prosperous times.
Usually, this set of golden bells is placed in the Ancestral Temple. When there are court gatherings, banquets, and sacrificial ceremonies, they are taken out to accompany the Yupan to play music.
In ancient chimes, the chimes were distinguished by their size, while the golden chimes were uniform in shape.
They use different thicknesses to distinguish musical scales, and each clock face is cast with the name of the rhythm in Yangwen regular script.
The bells have the same decorative pattern, divided into three sections by raised patterns.
The upper section is filled with clouds; the middle section is wider and cast with a flying dragon, all with its heads pointing to the left;
