Bronze ware is a major category in the research of cultural relics and antiques, but it is also a very small category.

The reason why it is said to be a major category is that it has many passed down from generation to generation and has occupied a very important position in Chinese history. Even in a certain historical period, bronze ware was even the artifact of the country-controlling state at that time.

Later, after bronzeware gradually became widely used, it gradually changed into wars, etiquette, musical instruments, sacrifices, utensils, etc. It can be said that in Chinese historical archaeology, bronzeware is an absolutely unavoidable link.

However, it is said that it is a very small category because of the Cultural Relics Law. The Cultural Relics Law particularly emphasized that bronze ware before the Han Dynasty was completely prohibited from trading.

Most of the bronze ware circulating today are unearthed cultural relics, which can be said to be more than 95%, which are from before the Han Dynasty, which is almost equivalent to the prohibition on trading of bronze ware.

Although I dare not say that the transaction of bronze ware is absolutely prohibited as soon as this ban is issued, at least an open transaction is absolutely impossible. For example, no auction can dare to accept it.

Of course, private transactions cannot be absolutely prohibited, but if you cannot go to the auction house or even buy them and show them out, then why do you buy bronze ware? You can't even put your home openly as decoration.

Bronze ware before the Han Dynasty was defined as national first-class cultural relics and was not allowed to be collected by private people.

In this case, you really buy things worth millions or even tens of millions, and then hide the basement and never see the light?

That's a fucking fuck.

Therefore, as soon as the Cultural Relics Law ban on bronze ware was released, the domestic trading volume of bronze ware suddenly plummeted to the bottom. Except for a very few players who are indeed favorites for ten minutes, almost few people will touch bronze ware.

And without buying and selling, there is no motivation for research.

This is all bronze ware that cannot be traded, so there will be no chance to pick up the bargain, and there will be no chance to play with it openly. So that's a big deal.

Therefore, in the antique industry today, bronze ware is really a very small category, and few people are studying it, except for those real archaeological experts, in order to study history, such as Wen Zhiming.

Why did Qi Xiangyang come into contact with bronze ware at the beginning? This is considered to be the "original origin of family learning".

What did these three brothers in the Qi family do before? Pan Jiayuan is famous for imitating bronze ware. More than 20 years ago, there was no ban on bronze ware in the cultural relics law. At that time, the transaction of bronze ware was at its peak. The "unearth of bronze ware" by the Qi family brothers accounted for at least one-tenth of Pan Jiayuan's number.

If you want to imitate bronze ware, you must at least have a deep understanding of bronze ware. Therefore, in order to imitate, the three brothers of the Qi family have a very thorough research on bronze ware, and there are many related books stored in their homes.

This is also the reason why the Qi Xiangyang family has so many antiques and treasured books. Even now, many books in the Qi family are very difficult to buy outside and are real classics.

In other words, I can't bear to take action, otherwise it would be fine to sell tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of books together.

A copy of "Bronze Wares of Shang and Zhou dynasties" edited by Ma Chengyuan is still the first edition. If you say it is impossible to sell it for 10,000 or 20,000, but if you pay for 5,000, you will definitely have a lot of people.

Therefore, based on Qi Xiangyang's own situation, Yao Zhiping and Zhang Kun decided to start with the Shang and Zhou bronzes.

Although learning this cannot allow Qi Xiangyang to make money by picking up bargains in the antique circle, for Yao Zhiping, it is a process of surveying Qi Xiangyang, looking at Qi Xiangyang's learning and acceptance ability, and character, so that the subsequent teaching tasks can be arranged.

So, Zhang Kun took Qi Xiangyang and went straight to the Palace Museum after lunch.

Speaking of the Forbidden City, everyone must be familiar with it, it is the Forbidden City, the Imperial City. When Zhang Kun faced Miyahonda Kok, he was in the Forbidden City martial arts performance venue. The Palace Museum was in the Forbidden City.

The Palace Museum's collection is also the number one in the country, with 1.8 million cultural relics, including more than 1.6 million precious cultural relics, covering almost all cultural relics categories throughout the history of the development of Chinese civilization.

In the Palace Museum, there are less than 15,000 cultural relics in the category of bronzes alone, which does not include coins and bronze mirrors.

After taking Qi Xiangyang to the Forbidden City, after buying the tickets, the two went to the bronze collection area. Then, under Yao Zhiping's comments and Zhang Kun's retelling, Qi Xiangyang began to learn cultural relics and archaeological identification knowledge.

Yao Zhiping's teaching is very simple, which is to point out the differences, characteristics, etc. of various bronze ware in different eras. From the distinction between materials, to the characteristics of different periods of carving and shapes, the writing of inscriptions, and the narrative methods, to determine the age, and finally to comprehensively determine the authenticity of a collection.

That's it. In the next few days, Zhang Kun and Qi Xiangyang spent all day in the Palace Museum. With the guidance of famous teachers, Qi Xiangyang's understanding and identification ability of bronze ware rose sharply.

Although I dare not say that I have reached the level of starting a teacher, I have indeed transformed Qi Xiangyang's past years of reading into practical experience, which is a preliminary amateur level of bronze ware identification.

However, through the guidance and teaching over the past few days, Yao Zhiping was surprised to find that Qi Xiangyang's learning and acceptance ability was surprisingly strong, and he had the ability to learn from others. Perhaps it was because of reading books before, but more, Yao Zhiping believed that Qi Xiangyang's antique identification industry was considered talented.

This was originally just thinking about repaying the guilt that year, but unexpectedly, I really found a treasure.

Yao Zhiping's mentality suddenly changed. He originally planned to let Qi Xiangyang learn a certain type and teach it to the point where he could continue in this industry. But now, Yao Zhiping really wanted to pass on all his knowledge to Qi Xiangyang, and truly regarded Qi Xiangyang as his successor.

Afterwards, Yao Zhiping began to switch to porcelain, calligraphy, painting, jade and other fields without saying a word. Yao Zhiping now wants to see whether Qi Xiangyang only has special appreciation of bronze ware, or has outstanding eyesight for the entire antique industry and all categories.

In the following days, Yao Zhiping was surprised and the smile on his face almost never stopped. Qi Xiangyang really surprised him.

As Yao Zhiping's smile on his face gradually changed, but Zhang Kun's smile had nothing to do with Qi Xiangyang and even Yao Zhiping.

Zhang Kun smiled because, as time passed by little by little, he found that it seemed... the New Year was coming soon.

Of course, Zhang Kun is not happy because of the New Year. Although it is a big festival, it is always there every year. Besides, Zhang Kun has long passed the age of looking forward to the New Year when he was a child.

Zhang Kun is happy because it is the Chinese New Year and Zhou Yaqi is coming back.

ps:@The Heaven Painter’s typo is my fault, so I will check it out carefully next time. However, the reason why I went to the museum to study instead of looking at Yao Zhiping’s collection needs to be explained.

First, Yao Zhiping's collections are exquisite, so there are few. There are only thirty or fifty items in the collection room. Even if there are only one or two hundred items on the previous floor, this is not enough to see. In large museums, there are tens of thousands of items in the collection, and the Palace Museum has as many as 1.8 million items.

Yao Zhiping's collection is exquisite enough, but in terms of quantity, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the museum.

Then there is another point. Yao Zhiping's collection has a place to go, and they will be donated in the end. Now Zhang Kun doesn't know much about Qi Xiangyang's character. If these things are displayed in front of Qi Xiangyang, if Qi Xiangyang is not in a good position, I'm also a disciple of Teacher Yao Zhiping, and I have a share of these collections, what should Zhang Kun do?
