Chapter 879 On the Ming Dynasty
"The origin of tombs in China can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, but the scale of well-made tombs originated from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and there were many large tombs in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, from the Warring States Period to the Qin Dynasty, its scale was far less than the struggle. Of course,
And [Zhong] The heyday of national tombs was the Han Dynasty. Thick burials were prevalent in the Han Dynasty. The burial objects in the tomb were the most rich and exquisite in all dynasties...
Han tombs are mostly cliff tombs, and cliff tombs in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are mostly tombs of princes or noble tombs. Generally, there are tombs, corridors, ear chambers, middle chambers, and back rooms, with a large number of exquisite artifacts. What we want to talk about today is the distribution of
Zhuang Rui sat in the class and kept taking notes. Today's class is one of the few open classes that Professor Meng takes every semester. Not only him, but also Dr. Ren and Kan Yuhan are also present, taking notes seriously.
It has been more than two months since he returned to school after the Spring Festival. Zhuang Rui saw Dr. Ren and Kan Yuhan for the first time. He heard from Professor Meng that both of them went to other places for on-site excavation.
Before class, Zhuang Rui said hello to them. When he was a graduate student, the friendship between his classmates was far less sincere and pure than that he came in college. In more than a year, Zhuang Rui did not have much contact with several people.
Kan Yuhan is a little darker than when Zhuang Rui first met, because she has been hosting the excavation of a tomb of the Han Dynasty in Sichuan for the past six months. Her skin is naturally not much better because of the wind and rain all day.
However, Kan Yuhan is in a good mental state. He can preside over a major archaeological excavation project at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six. He has a lot of old scientific examiners in his forties and forty or fifty years old, which can't be said to be said to have the face of Professor Meng.
Dr. Ren is even more proud. Last year, he assisted Professor Meng in hosting a project and made breakthrough progress. As a result, he officially stayed in the school" and was rated as an associate professor. The associate professor in his thirties can be regarded as a young and promising model even in Peking University.
As for Zhuang Rui's other two doctoral "brothers" who graduated in June and July last year.
The Dr. Jiang who didn't deal with Zhuang Rui. Although he worked very hard to repair the relationship with Zhuang Rui, and Zhuang Rui did not embarrass him, Dr. Jiang finally failed to stay in Beijing and returned to a local museum to work. After entering, he was specially appointed as the deputy curator, and the salary was not bad.
Wu Zhao, who has always had a good relationship with Zhuang Rui, entered Zhuang Rui's Dingguang Museum after graduation.
Dr. Wu's ability is really good. After entering the museum, from the beginning, the ordinary manager became the deputy curator of the Dingguang Museum in just half a year, which surprised Zhuang Ruidu.
Zhuang Rui also specifically asked Huang Fuyun about this. According to Huang Fuyun's explanation, he was responsible for outreach, and the other deputy curator was responsible for technology. Wu Zhaoren was young and had the ability to manage, so he was mentioned as the deputy curator. Hearing Huang Fuyun's explanation, Zhuang Rui was also relieved.
"Huh? Whose phone number?"
Zhuang Rui, who was taking notes seriously, suddenly felt that the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated. He looked around and looked around. Fortunately, he was sitting at the door of the classroom. Zhuang Rui stood up and slipped out quietly.
It's good to come and go freely in college. Of course, this is not a vegetable market. You can't disturb the teacher when you go in and out.
"Hey, monkey, what's the matter? I'm in class..." Zhuang Rui walked to the corridor outside the classroom and pressed the answer button.
"Brother Zhuang" just brought a few items. I'm not sure." So I called you. If you are free, why don't you take a look? I haven't seen you for a long time. You can also come to inspect your work..."
I have been in Beijing for almost three years. The monkey is now much more stable than before, with less impetuousness and a little more literary style.
In the past few years, the monkey has learned the seal engraving skill from Master Ge, and stayed in Pan's home all day long. He has seen a lot of things, and his eyesight has also been exercised. For the identification of some objects, he can also tell the depth.
Master Ge is old, and his hands are a little unstable. He has rarely engraved seals in person. Most of them are done by monkeys. Although the price is not as high as Master Ge, he also makes a lot of money. There are at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month, and Daxiong is a little eye-catching.
When Zhuang Rui heard the monkey's words, he couldn't help laughing and scolding, "You boy, if you want me to treat me, just say it directly. You still beat around the bush. Is the salary being kept by your daughter-in-law again?"
The monkey got married last autumn. His daughter-in-law was a divorced young woman he hooked up with in the community. The strict woman also took a two-year-old daughter and directly promoted the monkey to father.
This woman is good to monkeys. She does laundry and cooks every day. The only thing is that she can't see the monkey's pocket with money. The reason is that the money in the previous husband's pocket will be broken, so the monkeys have been subject to economic control.
Zhuang Rui also fulfilled his promise and gave the three houses knocked from Ouyang Jun to the monkey and Daxiong separately. There was no one in the monkey's family, and Daxiong took the old lady to Beijing, which was also a model for the prodigal son to return.
"Brother Zhuang, my daughter-in-law is still very generous. She gives at least a bag of money to Zhongnanhai every day..."
Monkey's little life is also very satisfactory. When he comes home, he warms up the vegetables, hot soup and the quilt, and there is a child who looks like a porcelain doll calls his father, so even if he smokes six yuan a pack of eight Zhongnanhai every day, he is happy all day long.
"Ha ha, your boy is just pursuing it a little bit. On, don't talk nonsense. Can't you understand what it is? Tell me about it on the phone first..."
Zhuang Rui knew that the monkey had been edified in Pan's home in recent years, and ordinary objects could not be eye-catching. Now he may pay attention to it, which is really difficult.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the monkey did not joke. He said solemnly, "Brother Zhuang, there are several pieces of bronze ware and a jade man. It doesn't seem to be fake, but... they should be all clear weapons. I'm not sure whether I will accept them or not..."
The clear weapon refers to the underworld. As the name implies, this object is a special artifact specially made for burial.
is generally made of ceramic wood and jade, and there are also metal or paper. In addition to imitations of daily utensils, in the tombs of some princes, there are also figures, idols of livestock and poultry, as well as models of vehicles, buildings, tools, weapons and furniture.
The source of the bright instrument naturally comes from the tomb, and this is the reason why the monkey can't make up his mind.
You know, although people in the antique industry will also accept objects, they are based on objects, such as some relatively ** things, such as bronze tripods and other objects. Regular antique shops (called art shops in China, and there is no approval of antique shops at present) dare not accept them. In case of a mistake, that is, If you can't eat wool, you will be coquettish.
"Is that so? Then I'll go there now. You call Daxiong and Lao Zhao. Let's have lunch. You can make an appointment in the afternoon. I'll see what I have to say..."
While talking, Zhuang Rui looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock at noon. After hanging up the phone, he sent a text message to Dr. Ren and asked him to explain it to the teacher. He went to the parking lot and drove to Panjiayuan.
"Hey, monkey, you don't suffer losses. This family of three is here..."
The designated restaurant in Xuan Ruizhai is a hotel restaurant not far from Panjiayuan. It is also called here for lunch. As soon as Zhuang Rui entered the private room, he saw the monkey teasing his daughter.
"Hey hey, Brother Zhuang, my daughter is growing up. Of course, you have to get some oil and water on your treat..."
The monkey was thick-skinned and didn't care about Zhuang Rui's words at all. Instead, his daughter-in-law stood up and greeted Mr. Zhuang.
"Come on, Niuniu, uncle, hug..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui sat down, he took the monkey's cheap daughter over. The little girl was more than half a year older than her two children, and she was very cute.
Daxiong's daughter-in-law works in a jewelry store and doesn't have time to come over at noon. Only the monkey family and Zhao Hanxuan are Zhuang Rui's early team.
"Lao Zhao, have you seen the things? How do you feel?"
After the dishes were served, Zhuang Rui gave the little girl to his mother, asked for a few bottles of beer, and drank with Zhao Hanxuan and others.
"Hey, don't open the pot, I've told you, don't look at the bronzes in the future, that thing is so thorny..."
After Zhao Hanxuan heard Zhuang Rui's words, he stared at him angrily. Since he paid 10 million yuan of tuition fees last time, he was worried about who mentioned the bronze ware with this brother. Although Zhuang Rui was the boss, when Zhao was angry, Boss Zhuang also had to smile.
"Yes, you think I didn't ask, I asked the monkey..."
Zhuang Rui also knew that Zhao Hanxuan was not really angry. He turned to the monkey and said, "If it's true or not, can you tell what kind of tomb this object came from? Can you guess it?"
Zhuang Rui has the idea of studying monkeys. Now Xuan Ruizhai collects antiques, which are usually monkey palms. In addition to involving a relatively large amount of money, Zhuang Rui will come to walk around.
When it comes to business, the monkey straightened his face and said, "Brother Zhuang, in my opinion, I guess it's not small. The shape of the thing is like that of the Han Dynasty, at least it is also a tomb of a prince, and..."
The monkey glanced at the two women sitting opposite, lowered his voice and said, "And this object looks like a pit..."
Nine times out of ten of the antiques in the world are flowing from tombs, but they are only divided into raw pits and cooked pits. Cooked pits refer to things that have been out of the earth for a long time. Taking pre-liberation as a watershed, antiques can be circulated on the market.
The pit is not the case. It refers to the objects unearthed after liberation. This is explicitly stipulated by the state that it is not allowed to be resold. If it is something very special, it may be found out and the crime of selling the stolen goods will be given to Hoi An.
