Looking at the pity on the old man's face, he thought that if he knew who lost the other two, he would break the legs of his children and grandchildren.
Maybe it's because of this that he sells his favorite things at such an old age.
"I like this thing too, but the price is hard to come by!"
Holding the bone flute, Chen Wenzhe said he couldn't put it down.
This thing has a very high historical and cultural value and can be said to be one of the most valuable antiques in China. However, it is difficult to determine its true value.
"I also understand the value of this thing. If you really like it, just pay one million to buy it!"
Seeing that the old man was very serious, Chen Wenzhe had nothing to hesitate. This thing was the famous Jiahu bone flute, but it had no transaction record.
In principle, this thing is a priceless treasure and has been specially introduced in National Treasures.
However, it is difficult to set a price when actually buying and selling, because the value of bone flutes is generally relatively low.
Regarding the price of one million, Chen Wenzhe does not think it is expensive, but thinks it is very cheap, because there should not be many Jiahu bone flutes spread outside the world.
Of course, there will definitely not be none, because many bone flutes were unearthed in Jiahu.
It is the unearthing of this kind of bone flute that proves that our country is worthy of being one of the four ancient civilizations.
This is mainly because we have a very long history and enough culture has been handed down.
The Chinese civilization lasted for five thousand years. We all know this.
But in fact, did civilization really exist in China only five thousand years ago? Not necessarily!
Judging from the cultural relics currently excavated in China, there are actually traces of human life on the land of China much earlier.
At the same time, these human beings also appeared to live together.
Of course, it is not certain whether civilization has been formed or not.
However, a special cultural relic discovered in Jiahu has given Chinese and foreign archaeologists a new perspective.
This cultural relic is known as the most magical cultural relic in China because it has a history of more than 8,000 years.
This thing is the Jiahu bone flute. Why is it said to be magical?
Because it has always been believed that the history of Chinese civilization is only five thousand years old.
But this bone flute extends this time to 8,000 years, which makes many archaeologists find it incredible.
Of course, some people believe that although the Jiahu Bone Flute can prove that human settlements existed in China more than 8,000 years ago, this does not mean that civilization had already emerged at that time.
Because this group of people believe that the birth of civilization should be cultured, that is, only after there is writing can it be considered the birth of a civilization.
However, many people do not agree with this statement, because the bone flute is used for playing.
Music is actually a kind of culture and a kind of civilization.
In ancient China more than 8,000 years ago, humans had learned to make their own musical instruments and play music through them.
This can already prove that at that time, human beings already had a sense of civilization, and it can be said that China at that time already had civilization.
However, this statement is just the personal understanding of some people.
It is currently internationally recognized that the history of Chinese civilization is still only five thousand years old.
They believe that without writing, it cannot be considered a mature civilization.
Does the emergence of the Jiahu bone flute mean that the history of Chinese civilization is 8,000 years old?
No matter what others think, Chen Wenzhe believes that the history of domestic civilization is likely to exceed eight thousand years.
He believes that other Chinese people should think the same way.
Therefore, such a bone flute that looks old and might fall apart if blown by the wind is worth one million.
However, this thing is so famous that if you buy it, you must avoid some trouble.
For this transaction, a contract must be signed.
Chen Wenzhe expressed some of his worries, but the old man was not worried at all.
"Don't worry, the Dahai City Museum knows the origin of the things in my hands, as well as some other units. They even mobilized me and asked me to donate them, but I didn't.
So you can rest assured. If you sign a contract with me, no one can cause trouble to you, because they all know the origin of this thing, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to sell it like this!"
Looking at this straightforward old man, Chen Wenzhe really didn't know what to say. Anyway, he couldn't bargain.
This old man is still very powerful. In just a few words, he explained the origin of the thing clearly.
There are no hidden dangers. If you spend one million to buy this thing, can you still suffer a loss?
"Is it okay to sign a formal contract?" Chen Wenzhe finally choked out these words.
"Yes, you must know that when I bought this bone flute, large-scale excavations had not yet begun in Jiahu, and at that time, this kind of bone flute was not paid much attention to. I remember that it was 1979, and someone
I discovered this bone flute by accident.
At that time, there were not many people taking care of it, so many of them were excavated and disposed of casually. Later, the higher authorities paid more attention to them and started large-scale excavations. I heard that dozens more roots were found, but they didn’t seem to be cherished very much!”
Chen Wenzhe is no longer able to complain. This is what you said.
Even if he finds several trucks of this kind of thing, he still cherishes it as a cultural relic.
After signing the contract and paying the money, this bone flute became part of Chen Wenzhe's collection.
This is definitely a good collector's item, but forget about buying or selling it again.
Chen Wenzhe plans to collect it himself. If he wants to sell it, he must sell it to the school museum, otherwise he will definitely be in trouble.
"You're so happy, young man. I still have some dinosaur eggs there, do you want them? When I bought them, dinosaur eggs weren't taken seriously yet!"
Chen Wenzhe really had no choice this time. He changed his mind and said, "How about I find a good place for you? As long as it is genuine and old, you can sell it."
"Do you have money? Forget about the public sector. If you don't want to pay a high price, you just want me to make a contribution, like this bone flute!"
"The Grand Academy of Fine Arts should be very rich. Let me ask you."
After talking on the phone, Professor Li was really interested when Chen Wenzhe explained the situation.
Those who study history are interested in old things.
Not to mention dinosaur eggs that are millions of years old, Professor Li also really wants the thousand-year-old urn that he despises.
Once the two parties got in touch, Chen Wenzhe stopped caring.
Back in the store, Chen Wenzhe felt that he had come to the right place this time.
Looking at the bone flute in his hand, he really couldn't believe that this bone flute had a history of eight thousand years.
Maybe eight thousand years ago, someone was holding it and imagining what the world would be like eight thousand years from now.
Stroking it and observing this ancient artifact, it is made of the ulnar tube of a crane, finely ground, and has 7 holes.
There is a small hole between the sixth hole and the seventh hole.
Having just seen the bone flute experience, Chen Wenzhe knew that the small hole could produce two different sounds, and it should be the tuning hole drilled to adjust the pronunciation of the seventh hole.
Not to mention anything else, with this bone flute, he must have understood the rhythm of eight thousand years ago.
It's a pity that he is not Tang Di, otherwise Chen Wenzhe would have saved a lot of trouble.
