After receiving the broken bronze mirror and looking for clues for a long time, Qi Gong turned his eyes to Gan Yafu. Although he was a teacher, Qi Gong thought he was not as good as his apprentice in the appraisal of ancient mirrors.
"Teacher, as long as you are here, how can I speak?"
Gan Yafu smiled. He actually didn't want to take over the teacher's job. Being able to produce an object with inheritance would certainly make him famous, but Gan Yafu was not sure in his heart. If he made a mistake, he would be humiliated.
Sent.
Mr. Qi naturally understood that the student's words were somewhat prudent and self-protective, so he straightened his face and said: "Xiao Gan, don't play tricks on me, tell me what you see..."
"Then I'll tell you..."
Gan Yafu took the bronze mirror from Mr. Qi's hand and said: "Teacher, I can date this bronze mirror. It is something from the Southern and Northern Dynasties before the Sui Dynasty, but this... there is no evidence that it is the broken mirror in the story of the reunion.
The mirror."
To be honest, ancient bronze mirrors are just like modern glass mirrors. They are also necessary for home. Of course, since copper was equivalent to money in ancient times, only some wealthy people could use it. Even so, the quantity was very large.
Except for the Qin Dynasty, where the number of productions was rare, and the custom of burial was no better than that of later dynasties, very few were unearthed. In all dynasties and dynasties after the Qin Dynasty, the dead used mirrors as gifts to those who were buried, that is, they were buried with mirrors, and the mirrors were used to bury them.
It means that it has been followed by the times and become a trend.
No matter which city’s antique market you go to, you can basically see bronze mirrors on the street stalls. Except for those from the Qin Dynasty, you can almost find them from the Han to the Song and Ming Dynasties.
Due to years of war in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the quality of handicrafts at that time was extremely low. Most of the styles of bronze mirrors were inherited from the Han Dynasty, but they were not rare items.
Therefore, Qin Feng pointed out that these two broken mirrors were the real objects in the story of "broken mirrors reunited". Gan Yafu, who had always had a rigorous academic attitude, did not dare to make any judgments.
"When doing appraisals, we need to conduct rigorous verification and make bold inferences..." Mr. Qi glanced at Gan Yafu and said calmly: "Xiao Gan, you should be more conservative."
Since he wanted to push Qin Feng out, Qi Gong certainly hoped that Qin Feng could make some academic achievements.
These two bronze mirrors are the best steps. If they can really be positioned as the inherited ancient mirror, it will be a matter of course for Qin Feng to join the National Appraisal Committee.
Of course, Mr. Qi did not create something out of nothing. Although he did not study much about bronze mirrors, it would be a good story to be able to date this bronze mirror and give a beautiful story to this broken mirror.
"Teacher, this... this mirror is too ordinary, and there is no inscription on it."
Gan Yafu blushed when Mr. Qi said that, but he was also a person who could stick to his principles. In his professional field, he did not give in because Qi Gong was his teacher.
"Teacher Gan, most of the bronze mirrors with inscriptions are from the Han Dynasty. Even imitation bronze mirrors after the Han Dynasty rarely have inscriptions, right?"
Qin Feng interjected: "Furthermore, due to historical reasons at that time, there were very few bronze mirrors cast in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and most of them had no characteristics. Doesn't this mirror fit the situation at that time?"
As he spoke, Qin Feng glanced at Wei Hua, believing that Wei Hua could understand what he meant.
Qin Feng is here to help Wei Hua spare no effort in advocating. You guys can't just watch the fun without saying a word, right? Speaking of which, the identity of the three generations of red children is not a decoration, it can always put a little pressure on people.
After receiving Qin Feng's look, Wei Hua finally said: "Teacher Gan, you can't be sure that this mirror is that one, but you can't deny that it is not that inherited ancient mirror, right?"
Wei Hua came from a noble family and had been in business for many years. Qin Feng looked over and knew that if this bronze mirror could be judged to be an inherited ancient mirror, his club would definitely become an instant hit.
However, Wei Hua's mood at this time was indescribably uncomfortable, because until now, he had thought that those ancient mirrors were imitations, and it was precisely for this reason that he refused to speak just now.
Moreover, Wei Hua couldn't see through Qin Feng's intention of publicizing these two broken mirrors.
As Wei Hua, who is accustomed to political strife and business intrigues, he is wary of everyone. At first, he was afraid that Qin Feng would praise him first, and then finally break the news that the mirror was fake. Wei Hua's face would be terrible.
It's a huge loss.
Qin Feng's eyes were encouraging with a hint of provocation, but it made Wei Hua change his mind. With his wealth and status, couldn't he be inferior to a freshman? There was actually a bit of excitement in his words.
"Yes, it cannot be denied that the two mirrors are roughly of the same age. It is still possible."
After hearing Wei Hua's words, Gan Yafu softened his tone slightly. He was not afraid of offending the teacher, because he knew that Mr. Qi was a broad-minded person, and he usually got into quarrels with teachers over academic issues.
But Wei Hua is different. What he holds is not only huge wealth, but also the strong background and power of the Wei family in the capital and even in the country. If Wei Hua really wants to give him little shoes to wear, Gan Yafu will not be able to bear it.
Cultural people are also human beings, they can be proud but not arrogant, especially Gan Yafu who has worked within the system for decades. He knows who can and cannot afford to offend.
"Teacher Gan, what do you think of the quality of these bronze mirrors? How can someone afford them?"
Qin Feng turned over the bronze mirrors casually, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. Originally, he had other thoughts, but now he really thought that these two broken mirrors were the inherited ancient mirrors in the story of "Broken Mirrors Reunion".
"The quality and appearance of these seven or eight mirrors are very average. The beetle pattern mirror and the Zhangcao pattern mirror all imply peace and wealth. However, the quality of this broken mirror should be better..."
Gan Yafu put the two broken mirrors together, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, because the fractures of the two mirrors, except for some patina, were basically completely matched together.
"Teacher Gan, you have also seen that a bronze mirror cannot be broken, but this mirror is mixed with bronze and tin, so there is almost no possibility of natural breakage, and judging from the fracture, it should be artificially chopped...
…”
Qin Feng's words echoed throughout the hall, and everyone was attracted by his analysis.
"In fact, Teacher Gan can also see that these bronze mirrors are unearthed objects, and the two broken bronze mirrors can be cherished and buried in the tomb, which also shows that this mirror has an unusual significance...
…
So I think this is the inherited ancient mirror in the story. It carries a touching love story, which is why the hero and heroine took it with them after their death!"
After some analysis, Qin Feng's powerful words gave a definition to his remarks.
"That's right. If it's not something that reunites the couple, it probably won't be used as a burial object, right?"
Wei Hua loudly applauded Qin Feng's conclusion. In fact, Qin Feng's arguments made several appraisal experts in the field nod secretly. This was not a guess based on thin air, but was deduced based on the bronze mirror itself.
In ancient times, there were no cameras and it was impossible to faithfully record every historical shot. Therefore, there were many unexplained phenomena in archeology and cultural relic identification.
This requires what Qi Gong said just now, "rigorous verification and bold inference" to promote the process of archeology or cultural relic identification. There are many such things in controversial identifications in the past.
"What Xiao Qin said makes sense..."
At this time, Gan Yafu was almost convinced. He pondered for a while and said: "When Princess Lechang and her husband Xu Deyan got married, the Chen Kingdom had not yet been destroyed. They could indeed use this deformed four-leaf and eight-phoenix mirror. I
Support Xiao Qin’s argument..."
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly..."
Mr. Qi spoke at this time. Although Gan Yafu is the leading bronze appraisal expert in the country, it is best to verify this thing in many ways before giving it a more appropriate definition. This is also the process of appraisal of a cultural relic.
"Xiao Wei, do you know where this thing was unearthed?" Qi Gong turned to look at Wei Hua. Both Qin Feng and Gan Yafu could tell that it was an unearthed cultural relic, and Mr. Qi had naturally noticed it a long time ago.
"Mr. Qi, this object was found in the antique market. I didn't even know it was an unearthed cultural relic." Wei Hua plucked himself clean in one sentence. Even if he dedicated the bronze mirror to the country, he was not willing to carry it on his back.
This is the scapegoat.
At this time, Wei Hua also saw some clues. How could something that Qin Feng, Gan Yafu and Qi Lao thought was an unearthed cultural relic, be a modern imitation?
Thinking of this, Wei Hua couldn't help but hate the counterfeiter. He basically figured it out. It must be the person who took the money for the imitation to collect the finished product. Who made the price of the ancient mirror so real?
Is it too cheap?
"How about this? When Teacher Gan has time, we will bring some experts to take a look, and then we will give a definite explanation..."
Looking at the time, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. He had been in front of the mirror for almost half an hour. Wei Hua said, "That's it for today's appraisal. Let's go have a quick meal together. It's been a hard day today."
How many teachers are there?”
Although there are still many cultural relics that have not been appraised later, Wei Hua originally wanted to pick out a few representative things for experts to appreciate. Unexpectedly, he came up with Qin Feng's story, but it led to a famous ancient inheritance.
mirror?
Wei Hua, who originally had some prejudice against Qin Feng, now only appreciates it.
Looking back, as long as Wei Hua casually revealed something like Gan Yafu and Mr. Qi thought the ancient mirror was real during an interview with reporters, then his club would be famous in the industry.
After hearing Wei Hua's words, except for Mr. Qi, all the experts also showed smiles on their faces. They have participated in such occasions often. Usually after the meal, the host will give him a big meal.
Red envelope.
With Wei Hua's status, this red envelope is probably worth at least 10,000 yuan. For experts whose salary was only a few thousand yuan in 1998, it is also a lot of money. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!)
