Chapter 614 Fixed Light Sword (1)
This time Zhuang Rui did not let Peng Fei be the driver, but drove the car himself because Zhuang Rui gave the sword to Peng Fei.
Although Peng Fei didn't know what Zhuang Rui handed him, he had rarely seen Zhuang Rui act so solemnly and seriously. At that moment, he carefully held the long box in his arms, not daring to make any move.
main idea.
"Brother Zhuang, the person you are waiting for is Professor Meng, right?"
After arriving at Beijing University, Professor Meng was still in class, so Zhuang Rui could only park the car and wait at the door of the restaurant with Huangfu Yun and Peng Fei.
"Yeah, how do you know?"
After Zhuang Rui asked, he remembered that Huangfu Yun went to this school. He smiled and said, "I forgot, this is Brother Huangfu's alma mater..."
Huangfu Yun looked at the junior students coming in and out of the school cafeteria, and said with some emotion: "Yes, after I went abroad, I didn't come back here for five or six years..."
When people don't grow up, they always think about growing up and being able to stand out in society, but often they only think back to campus life and those innocent times only after they have suffered a bloody blow in reality.
Huangfu Yun went abroad after graduating from Peking University. Although he has developed well in these years, he has also encountered many setbacks. Now that he returns to his alma mater, he feels filled with emotion.
"Haha, I will go to school here this year..."
Due to the postgraduate entrance examination, although he is not yet a student of Peking University, Zhuang Rui has some sense of identity here. In at least two years from now, his identity will become a graduate student of Peking University.
After the two chatted for a while, it was almost noon, and more and more students came to eat.
"Xiaozhuang, have you been here for a while?" Professor Meng's figure appeared at the door of the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was too noisy and not a place to talk about things at all. Zhuang Rui frowned slightly and said, "It's okay. I've just arrived, Teacher Meng. How about we go out and find a place to eat?"
Professor Meng waved his hand and said: "No, I have something else to do in the afternoon. Come, I will take you to a private room to eat..."
The cafeteria is divided into several floors. The first and second floors are the student cafeteria, and the upper floors are where teachers eat. There are many private rooms inside.
"Xiaozhuang, order whatever you like to eat. Don't save money for the teacher..."
After a few people sat down, Professor Meng handed the recipe to Zhuang Rui. He was very satisfied with his prospective disciple and wished he could recruit him now.
"Thank you, Teacher Meng. I have something to ask of you today, and I also want you to treat me to dinner..."
Zhuang Rui introduced Huangfu Yun and Peng Fei to Professor Meng, and then ordered a few dishes. Although he was anxious to know the origin of the sword, Professor Meng didn't mention it, so Zhuang Rui could only calm down and eat.
"Okay, you kid can still keep your composure. Let's go to the office..."
Everyone ate very quickly and finished their meal in 20 minutes. Professor Meng looked at Zhuang Rui and laughed. He just wanted to test Zhuang Rui's energy-raising skills, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Rui could really hold it in without mentioning the text appraisal.
He showed a calmness that was different from his age, which made Professor Meng very satisfied.
Professor Meng is almost at the age limit. Zhuang Rui is probably the last batch of graduate students he will recruit. He is very optimistic about Zhuang Rui's development. Professor Meng, who has been teaching and educating people all his life, is very optimistic about having such an outstanding disciple.
It's a relief.
Professor Meng has an independent office. Although it is not very big, the bookshelf behind the desk is filled with all kinds of books, most of which are related to archeology. There are also some chemistry publications. This knowledge is also closely related to archeology.
of.
"Xiao Peng, you can sit down wherever you like, Zhuang Rui, show me the things..."
Entering the office, Professor Meng greeted Huangfu Yun and Peng Fei casually, then reached out and took the long brocade box handed over by Zhuang Rui.
"This...this is a bronze sword..."
After opening the box, Professor Meng, who was sitting at his desk, stood up suddenly and looked at the bronze sword in the box with some disbelief. Although he had already guessed that the bronze sword Zhuang Rui mentioned should be a
weapon, but I never expected that this bronze sword would be so well preserved.
Professor Meng has presided over countless archaeological excavations in the past few decades. From tombs in the Yin and Shang dynasties to imperial tombs in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, he has seen countless unearthed cultural relics, including many weapons.
It's just that those unearthed ancient weapons have basically decayed after thousands of years of air oxidation and soil corrosion. Professor Meng has also done a lot of weapon restoration work. Through observation of weapons from certain eras, it can be concluded that
Research on the form of war in that era.
Although several famous ancient swords have been unearthed in China, it was not the archaeological excavation that Professor Meng participated in. This was the first time he had seen such a bronze sword in such good condition and emitting a faint cold light.
"Teacher, before I came here, I tested this sword. It can cut off 8 Qianlong Tongbao at the same time, and it can be used to cut off 8 pieces of Qianlong Tongbao at the same time. I suspect that it is a famous sword like the ancient generals, Mo Xie, etc., but it is just a student's understanding of gold.
I don’t have much research on the article, so I would like to ask the teacher to identify the two characters on the sword..."
Zhuang Rui told Professor Meng the test results in the store as they were.
After Professor Meng heard Zhuang Rui's words, his expression became a little excited. If he had known that the object Zhuang Rui brought for identification was this, I am afraid that Zhuang Rui and others would not have had the chance to eat the lunch.
You must know that every famous sword recorded in ancient times will cause an uproar when it comes out, causing endless debates in the academic world. Professor Meng cannot help but not pay attention to it.
Although this is just a dead object, in the eyes of archaeologists, it will become extremely rich. For example, from the forging process of the sword body, the metallurgical level and social form of the time can be analyzed.
There are so many things worth exploring here.
With many years of experience in archaeological excavation, Professor Meng could feel as soon as he opened the brocade box that this sword was definitely an unearthed bronze. The ancient and vicissitudes of the sword could not be imitated by modern craftsmanship.
"The peerless sword, the peerless sword..."
Professor Meng was not in a hurry to look at the inscriptions, but looked down from the tip of the sword little by little. He couldn't put it down because of the beautiful satin pattern, and couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"Professor Meng, what do those two bronze inscriptions read?"
Huangfu Yun, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He saw that the answer to the mystery was about to be revealed, but if Professor Meng continued to read slowly at this time, he might not be able to know the name of this sword even after the sun goes down.
.
"In terms of craftsmanship alone, this bronze sword is definitely not inferior to famous swords such as Zhanlu and Juque, but it's just this length..."
Professor Meng did not directly answer Huangfu Yun's question. In fact, he had never looked at the two bronze inscriptions. The reason was that Professor Meng wanted to rely on his archaeological knowledge to see if he could determine the inheritance of this sword.
But when talking about length, Professor Meng frowned slightly. In his memory, there were not many famous swords in history that were only about two feet long. Whether it was the Yin, Shang or Qin and Han Dynasties, most swords were more than three feet long.
For example, when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, the sword carried by Qin Shihuang was about seven feet long. Although one foot in the Qin Dynasty was only equivalent to 23.1 centimeters today, a seven-foot sword was also 1.62 meters long. In the end, Qin Shihuang still heard
The imperial doctor Xia Wuqi shouted "The king is carrying his sword", so he was able to pull out the sword and turn the danger around.
It can be seen from this that most of the ancient swords before the Qin Dynasty were relatively long and mainly used to stab. The bronze sword in front of you is only about two feet, which is about fifty or sixty centimeters in length. In ancient times, it was really not
a lot of.
"Could it be that one?"
Suddenly, Professor Meng thought of a name, and he couldn't help but trembled. If it was really that sword, the length could be explained.
Thinking of this, Professor Meng was unwilling to continue guessing. He picked up a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the two gold inscriptions above the sword hilt.
Bronze inscriptions refer to the inscriptions engraved on the bronzes of the Yin and Zhou dynasties, also called bell and tripod inscriptions. Compared with oracle bone inscriptions, the bronze inscriptions have thicker lines, more curved pens, and more lumps. They were still very popular during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but by the Qin Dynasty,
It became declining and was gradually replaced by Xiaozhuan.
"Yes, it should be, is it really this sword?!"
After Professor Meng saw the two inscriptions clearly, the blood on his face surged up, and he was obviously extremely excited. However, Zhuang Rui and Huangfu Yun were depressed. The old man recognized it himself and wanted to share it with everyone.
"Teacher, what kind of sword is it?"
Zhuang Rui finally couldn't help it anymore. Don't say half of your old words. Why don't you just give your name and be done with it?
"Wait, I'm not sure yet, let me check..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Professor Meng became much calmer. He stood up, took out a thick book from the big bookshelf behind him, and started reading.
Zhuang Rui saw that Professor Meng was holding the "Inscriptions on Bronze Inscriptions" compiled by Rong Geng. This was the first dictionary of inscriptions on bronze inscriptions after Wu Dacheng's "Shuowen Gu Zhenbu" and was one of the indispensable reference books for researchers of ancient inscriptions.
1. It is a fairly complete dictionary of inscriptions on bronzes from the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties that can be fully understood, both known and unknown.
In the past, Uncle De once let Zhuang Rui read the book "Jin Wen Bian", but Zhuang Rui felt that it was not useful and did not spend time on these words that were like a heavenly book. Now Zhuang Rui understands that the book should be used only when it is needed.
I hate the meaning of this sentence.
"Dingzi...guang...dingguang?!"
Zhuang Rui saw Professor Meng using a pencil to find the word "Dingguang" on the "Biography of Bronze Inscriptions" and drew a circle respectively. Zhuang Rui compared the two words on the book with the inscription on the hilt of the sword, and returned
It's really these two words.
Although Zhuang Rui's voice was not loud, Huangfu Yun heard it and asked in disbelief: "What? Brother Zhuang, you said this sword... is called... Dingguang?!"
