"The thousand-year-old imperial capital, the holy city of China, the source of civilization, the middle of the world. The Silk Road, the Canal Center, the Peony City, and the City of Mountains and Waters. The three generations of creation, the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the literary spirit of the Song family..."

At this moment, Guan Yang said with emotion and chanting: "Stand between Heluo and Living in the world, it is not only the kindness and majestic spirit of the Central Plains, but also the charming and romantic nature of the water towns in the southern country. After the creation of the world, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Luoyang has become a god capital that is envied by heaven and man with the great beauty of the creation of heaven and earth."

"Play!"

Wang Guan clapped his hands and sighed with great shame: "What a good article about the Luoyang God Capital. I never knew that Brother Guan's literary talent is so good."

"cough!"

No matter how thick-skinned Guan Yang was, he did not dare to take other people's city propaganda for himself. After nodding vaguely, he immediately changed the topic: "Zheng Dongzhu Wang, how is Cao San Ge's current situation?"

"It's great. I have negotiated a few big businesses. The commission money is enough for him to buy a house in Beijing." Wang Guan chuckled and said, "Don't you contact him normally?"

"Uh... I'm a little busy lately." Guan Yang smiled awkwardly, and then realized that he was not trapping him, why was he trapped?

Just when Guan Yang was alert, He Laoliu also returned to the hall, holding a small suitcase in his hand. For a moment, everyone's eyes were also focused on the suitcase, and their faces were full of curiosity.

Curiosity is human nature and no one can avoid it.

Seeing everyone's eyes, He Laoliu was also a little proud. He immediately put the small suitcase on the table next to him, then slowly untied the small password lock in the box, and deliberately rubbed it for a moment before opening the box.

In an instant, everyone's eyes gathered in the box. They saw that there were not many things in the box, only three or five pieces. However, the shape of each piece was quite strange, or it was not something that everyone was a common thing.

At first glance, everyone was a little surprised because the things in the box were bronze utensils that the state prohibited from buying and selling.

Of course, it is definitely not a large item like a bronze tripod, it is a national treasure. Even if He Laoliu has the courage to make trouble, it is absolutely impossible to take it out in front of Wang Guan and a few strangers. In fact, these are relatively small objects, neatly placed in the box, which is still very eye-catching.

I would like to say something off topic here. Although the state has regulations prohibiting bronze ware from being circulated in the market, in recent years, some auction houses have also auctioned bronze ware, but they just dare not publicize it. Treasures like Dingzun are definitely not dared to be auctioned, but gadgets like Jue, pot, goblet, and gotts are carefully auctioned.

Not only is there such a situation in the small shops, but even the big shops are doing it occasionally. In fact, this is playing the edge ball and testing the country's bottom line for such things. As for the people, it is even more difficult to regulate in place. After all, people are trading privately, and the people do not procurate, and officials do not pursue it. There is no need to worry too much.

So, when He Laoliu took out a few bronze ware, everyone was just surprised. It was not surprising.

"If you are interested, you can come and have a look."

At this time, at the greeting of He Laoliu, others came to look at these bronze ware with interest. Among them, Yu Feibai was the most unpolite and directly picked up a bronze jewel to watch.

Jue. At the beginning, it was a container for drinking in ancient times. Generally speaking, only nobles were qualified to use Jue for banquets, so over time, everyone called the title of a noble. And from the title, we can know how precious the ancient Jue was, and it is a kind of bronze ritual vessel, with extraordinary meaning.

However, after the Qin and Han dynasties, due to the vigorous development of ceramic technology, emperors, generals, nobles, and common people obviously appreciated containers made of ceramics more, and the bronze lords gradually disappeared in people's daily lives.

Of course, it does not mean that Jue withdrew from the stage of history since then.

In fact, at least before the Qing Dynasty, there was still a title. However, this title was no longer a practical artifact, but evolved into a pure ritual vessel. During the court sacrifice, several titles were usually placed for wine and worshipped in heaven. This was an ancient ritual followed by the feudal dynasty. It was not until the founding of New China that it was completely abolished.

Anyway, as far as Wang Guan knows, emperors from all dynasties after the Qin and Han dynasties still admired things like jue cups. At least the emperors of the Qing Dynasty called craftsmen to copy many exquisite jue objects. Such authentic products have been passed down and the prices in the market are not low, and they have always been the target of competition among local tyrants and tycoons.

However, the jewel that Yu Feibai picked up to watch now was obviously something from before the pre-Qin period. Needless to say, the shape was full of ancient and clumsy atmosphere. Three pointed feet stood in a round belly in the middle, but the upper end was a small boat-shaped, one pointed and the other wide. The pointed end was pouring wine, and the wide head was drinking wine. The small structure fully demonstrated the ancients' ingenuity.

At least for the people who use the round cups, such an exquisite Gujue Cup is a real drinking container. Drinking with such things can not only miss the past, but also satisfy everyone's curiosity.

That's right, to put it bluntly, it's just a curiosity.

In fact, if you think about it, you should understand that the ancient containers have been passed down to this day. Some things are not suitable, so they will definitely be eliminated during the process of circulating. This is the historical choice of the big waves to wash away the sand. The cups and pots that are presented to everyone now may not be the most beautiful and exquisite, but they are definitely the most convenient and practical items.

Therefore, ancient objects can be used as collectibles, viewers, or even gifts for giving to people, but they will never be able to be on the historical stage again. This is an irreversible trend and no one can change it. To be honest, if there is a repetition, then it has been repeated for more than two thousand years, so why wait until now?

"It seems to be a newly dug."

At this time, Yu Feibai looked at it for a moment, put down the uke weapon, then came to Wang Guan and whispered: "Although there is not much soil, a fresh earthy smell is still there."

"Yeah?"

Wang Guan smiled and whispered: "It may not be as you thought."

"Um?"

When Yu Feibai heard this, he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you think this is something newly dug out, so it may be true. Don't you worry that it was buried a few years ago and is just dug out again?" Wang Guan reminded that it is also a common method of fraud on the market now.

Some experts who make fakes are very patient. They buried a batch of things in the ground every six months, and then waited for two or three years before digging it out. That's it, digging one batch and burying another batch, and forming an assembly line factory.

"Don't you think his courtyard is a little bigger?" Wang Guan smiled and said, "When I walked in just now, I noticed the soil in the corner, which seemed to have traces of turning..."

In an instant, Yu Feibai's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse: "Damn fake dealer."

Of course, although it was a scolding, Yu Feibai would not scold him loudly, and it still belongs to the category of whispers, but the anger in it was very obvious. However, whether it was anger He Laoliu's fraud or anger himself or a slap in the eyes, that's all.

"It may not be all fakes."

At the same time, Wang Guan pondered: "At least that bronze spear head looks like it is genuine."

"Tsk, there are too many spear heads, spear heads, spear heads, etc. like this, which are unearthed too much, and they are not worth much at all." Yu Feibai looked disdainful. No matter how good the spear head is, even if there is an inscription, it will be at most 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. He will definitely not take this little money seriously.

"How about that chime?"

Tang Qinghua next to him also heard the whispers of the two people, suddenly pointed to an object in the box and asked softly: "The thing should be a chime. I have seen something similar in the Palace Museum."

The two of them looked at it and nodded immediately, confirming that the thing was a chime.

Chime bells were also a kind of pre-Qin ritual vessels. In ancient times, rituals and music were inseparable. In Confucius' words, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were dark and chaotic times when rituals collapsed and music were broken. The princes were conquering almost every day, and there was no time for peace.

However, it cannot be denied that in this special period of collapse of rituals and music, talents as vast as stars burst out like springs. Their words and deeds and behaviors have affected China for two or three thousand years, and are expected to continue to influence until the demise of Chinese civilization.

To be honest, the source and foundation of Chinese civilization were gradually formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Troubled times emerged, and all kinds of good and bad thoughts collided violently, not only sparking brilliant sparks, but also blending with each other, laying the mainstream cultural values ​​of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

It's a long way to go. Anyway, bronze chimes are also very precious things. The most famous one is definitely Zeng Houyi chimes. After all, compared with other single unearthed chimes, Zeng Houyi chimes are a complete set, and they are well preserved and have very complete music. They are naturally regarded as a rare treasure by the world.

Relatively speaking, the chime is a bit cold right now. The flat and round bell is covered with copper rust inside and outside, which looks very mottled and has a bad appearance.

At the right time, He Laoliu also saw the three of them talking about their heads at the chimes. He immediately took out the things alone and said with a smile: "This is a chime in the Warring States Period. You see, there are still words on it."

Inscriptions cast on bronze ware, generally called bronze inscriptions, are of great research value. The two items of bronze ware with similar quality, and it is certain that the price of them is higher than those without them. As for the content of bronze inscriptions, there are only a few types. Commemorating ancestors, inscribed merits and rewards, covenants of princes, dowry of mothers, and some words praying for blessings and longevity from heaven.

Of course, the most basic thing is the name of the yamen and the craftsmen. Unfortunately, some people don’t know much about the text before the pre-Qin period, and no matter how they watch it, they can’t recognize what the text on the chime mean.

"Just two or three words."
