The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Observe every half an hour to an hour, and by half past ten, Zhang Nan finally feels that it is almost the same. W ㈧ W? W?. ㈧ 8? 1? Ｚ? W ㈠. ㈧Ｃ㈧ＯＭ

"Tang Gui, bring a useless trash can, the kind that is impervious to water."

Nowadays, special plastic trash cans are extremely rare on the market, and Tang Gui directly gave Zhang Nan a plastic bucket.

Pour the vinegar in the big dish into the bucket. It is a precaution to prevent it if the corrosion is not enough. Use vinegar to treat it, or leave it alone. If it dries, dry it all at once. Don’t drag it. Deal with it in a few days, otherwise it will leave sequelae!

Pour dry vinegar and wipe the edges with paper so as not to affect the outer edge of the copper plate.

The patina on the bottom has been dissolved a lot, showing a black. I still used bamboo chopsticks with a flattened end as a small shovel, and a smooth one appeared when the chopsticks went down, revealing a bright metallic luster in black.

Guan Xingquan was sharp-eyed and said, "There are words!"

Quickly shovel a few more times, "It's a large seal type inscription."

At this time, Tang Gui handed Zhang Nan a piece of bamboo more than one centimeter wide, which was obviously cut just now.

"There is a future, you can guess it!"

I appreciate the comrade chef’s analogy: the cross-section of the chopsticks is too small, and it takes too long. It’s a great chef to be able to guess what he’s going to do next, and then assemble the right tools!

After busying for a while, I finally processed all the parts of the copper plate that had been corroded with vinegar. The copper rust inside was basically removed, showing a full 21 lines of inscriptions.

There is no rush to identify, but the remaining acid and vinegar ingredients have to be removed.

The bronze appears black after being corroded by vinegar, and there will be a layer of unspeakable substance on the surface-as long as the residual vinegar is cleaned, this layer of substance will generally not cause damage to the copper itself.

However, Zhang Nan wanted to remove this layer of black material as much as possible: the method is very simple, just take a ball of napkin and wipe it until it gets as much metallic luster as possible.

As for whether the surface of the bronze ware exposed to the metal background should be further treated for protection, Zhang Nan really doesn't know. He hasn't touched it in his previous life. You can ask Nong Bosheng in a few days.

The cleaning is simple, just rinse with tap water directly, by the way, use a pig's bristle brush to brush it inside and out carefully, and the remaining loess on the outer wall is also brushed clean.

Then wipe the inside of the plate with a napkin a few times: every time you wipe it, moisten it with water and wipe it again until there is no obvious black substance on the napkin.

"At this step, it should be air-dried naturally, or sun-dried. Let's use a quick method, a hair dryer, or even an oven for savage ones!"

Zhang Nan is reluctant to use the oven, and there is always a hair dryer.

I took two of them at once, blowing up and down, inside and out!

This time, I can finally recognize the inscription with peace of mind, and carry the big plate to the living room.

The two chefs did not come and went to rest after finishing the kitchen. The remaining four looked at Zhang Nan and Tongpan curiously, all wondering what they were talking about here.

Zhang Nan knows the general meaning of the inscription on this plate, but I have to recite the whole text, let alone now, and I didn't remember all of it when I read the information. Fortunately, there is the set of research materials sent by the curator of agriculture. Zhang Nan has taken the time to study it a few times, and he can still recognize a lot.

After reading it from beginning to end, he said: "These inscriptions record the performance of the 12th generation of Emperor Wen, King Wuzhili, King Xuanji, and the eight generations of the Shan family assisting the royal family to attack Shang Chong, build Zhoubang, and conquer Jingchu. , Discussing 猃猃狁, Guan Shanlin, Zhihe Tianxia, ​​and received canonization rewards for meritorious services and other important activities and deeds.

The first generation of the Shan family's ancestor "Shan Gong" assisted King Wen and King Wu to destroy the Yin and Shang dynasties, and governed the land newly occupied by the Zhou Dynasty; the second generation of ancestor "Uncle Gong" assisted King Zhou Cheng to manage the country;

The third generation of ancestors "Xin Shi Zhong" helped King Zhou Kang to deal with court affairs; the fourth generation of ancestors "Hui Zhong Fu" assisted King Zhou Zhao and King Zhou Mu in the crusade against the Kingdom of Chu;

The fifth generation of ancestors "Ling Bo" assisted the kings of Zhou Gong and Zhou Yi; the sixth generation of ancestors "Yi Zhong" assisted the kings of Zhou Xiao and Zhou Yi;

The seventh-generation ancestor "Uncle Gong" assisted King Zhou Li; the eighth-generation was the master of the copper plate, "Tao", assisted the emperor Zhou Xuan, the emperor of the dynasty, to govern the court and serve as the official in charge of the forest. "

"Salted fish?"

Zhang Nan's mind turned around before he understood what Guan Xingquan was asking. He was dumbfounded: "It's xianyǔn, that is Dog Rong. Since Dog Rong broke through the capital of Western Zhou in 771 BC, Dog Rong has become the most terrifying enemy of the Chinese nation. Until the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains peoples collectively referred to all northwest nomadic peoples as "dog Rong" and "Rong Di".

During the reign of the Tang Dynasty, it was 100 years after the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Dr. Taichang Liu Jian went on and said: ‘The dog Rong violated Guan Dulong and entered the capital without a **** sword...’

In the Dezong period of the Tang Dynasty a few decades later, Minister Liu Hun said to Dezong: ‘Rong Di, the jackals are also the AU. ’

Many historical experts have to go through textual research to understand which prairie nation the "dog Rong and Rong Di" in the Tang Dynasty records refer to. "

This will say that it is a combination of Chinese and English. Anyway, the four people can even understand each other's explanations, otherwise Nicole will listen to the Chinese classics.

Nicole pointed to the words on the disk and said: "So many words are just the content?"

"Summary is a summary. Are you sure you can understand the original text?"

"Allen, the text 28oo years ago, I want to hear it!"

"To be exact, it is a text that existed at least 3ooo years ago, second only to oracle bone inscriptions. If you want to hear it, then I will read it."

Speaking of looking at the inscription carefully, it takes some brain cells!

"Pi Xian, the emperor Shan Gong, Huan Huan Ke Ming Shen Jue De, Jia Zhao Wen Wang Wu Wang Da Yin, was destined by the heavens and Lu, and there are four directions, and... Tonglu, eternal life, end of life, 逨The emperor's son, the descendants of Sun Yongbao, enjoy it.

that's it. "

Now, let's not talk about the two Americans, Nicole and Jenny, even Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan are confused-they don't understand at all!

Xiang Weirong said: "What did you say just now that the Patriarch assisted King Zhou?"

"Brother-in-law, the writings of the ancients in 28oo years are completely different from what we are now. The plate is so big, it is probably more concise than the actual conversation. I would not understand it if I hadn't studied it specifically."

"Then speak human words that can be understood."

"Oh."

No way, face the four curious babies, organize the language and come back again!

"The general idea is like this: Ta said, my famous emperor emperor's single father, mighty and wise, knows people, is a wise and virtuous person. He assisted King Bi Wen and King Wu, attacked Yin Shang and accepted the emperor's destiny, Blessed the princes of the Quartet, established the Zhou Dynasty, worked the country, and conformed to the will of God.

My emperor's grandfather and uncle can help to become the king, be the king's command, and accept the great fate. At that time, Rong Di from the north did not come to sacrifice the emperor, and became the king to settle the four sides of the world.....Thanks to the emperor’s reward, praised the king of Luxiu, and made a treasure plate to commemorate the emperor’s ancestors, which was used to remember the cultural virtues of the past lives The virtues of the ancestors.

The majestic and heroic spirits of Wende's ancestors are in the sky~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Respectfully and respectfully in the world, I hope that our ancestors will be prosperous and prosperous to give us a long life, with a generous heart, and give me health and blessing, high officials and generous values End of spirit.

The wise ministers of the emperor will enjoy it forever.

That's it for the vernacular. "

The brother-in-law was smiling there, "Hehe... Are you still talking about it?"

Nicole and Jenny are still at a loss-there is no way, even if they are to be able to fully understand the "big vernacular" of Zhang Nan just now, the two American women did not think about it in a few years of research.

The brother-in-law satisfied his curiosity, looked at the time, and asked Guan Xingquan: "Are you going home or are you?"

"go home."

The two curious babies left contentedly, leaving Zhang Nan to work hard to translate the words just now into English and say it again: if you can finish it in two minutes, it took a long time to finish the painting. It's almost midnight.

"Sleep, I can't sleep late tomorrow New Year's Eve!"
