    Chapter 562 Taotie Mark [1] Thank you to book friend 'Don't Be a Bear' for your 200-coin reward support, thank you to book friend 'Tragic Human Shield' for your support of 4 monthly tickets, thank you to book friend '157904747' for your support of coin reward, thank you all very much  ~~ "Don't miss it when you pass by, it's real blue and white porcelain" "Ru kiln porcelain, you don't need too much to know a good product" "Jade snuff bottle, a fine product that Emperor Qianlong once played with, and  ?The top-quality goods that were confiscated from the house" "Five million, fixed price, if you have more, you can keep it" "Mom, I want to let go" Chaotic sounds came from time to time, and Zhang Wufeng stood in the crowd.  , looking at the various expressions of all living beings, and then seeing the enthusiastic shouting of the small vendors, I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart. This antique street is like a vegetable market at the moment, it is really lively.  Zhang Wufeng walked all the way, and from his perspective, after walking hundreds of meters and passing hundreds of stalls, he found nothing of value, which made him feel ashamed.  ??Especially there are a lot of jade wool materials, a lot of wool materials, but inside are all white garbage.  Zhang Wufeng couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Although it was said that after he controlled the Jade King's mineral veins, the smuggling of jade wool became more difficult. This was mainly because he didn't want to be too deceptive. But similarly, after passing these stalls, so many wool  The food was basically out of stock, which shows that the risk of betting on stones is really comparable to buying a lottery ticket.  Although Zhang Wufeng did not use his crystal power to scan at this moment, a strong man in the original sin realm would never be able to misjudge him just by his sensing power.  "Huh?" Suddenly, Zhang Wufeng was slightly startled, and then walked towards a stall surrounded by many people.  "I will pay you 1.8 million for 1.8 million," a young man with red eyes shouted.  "Two million, I'll pay two million." Another fashionably dressed woman also shouted the price loudly.  "Three million" Zhang Wufeng shouted, and suddenly, the noisy stall immediately became quiet, and a series of eyes swept over at the same time.  "Three million, is there any higher?" The owner of the stall is a Xinjiang native, with a big beard and a dark green hat.  "The cage maker is a bastard." A young man from Wuhan cursed in Wuhan dialect in a low voice, and then stopped talking.  "It's really exciting, three million, and my head was kicked by a donkey." A middle-aged woman muttered in her heart, and glanced at Zhang Wufeng, but she didn't say it out loud.  "Three million, is there any higher?" the vendor asked again.  Seeing that no one answered around him, he was slightly disappointed, and then he said happily: "Little brother, if you buy it for three million, I will just transfer it in cash. Do you think it will work?" His Mandarin is not standard.  , it sounded a little difficult, but Zhang Wufeng didn't think there was any problem.  "Well, okay, you can have cash. I can take out the money and you can deposit it in the bank yourself." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.  ¡°Okay, okay, then I will take this thing first, and then we will go to the bank here to transfer the money.¡± The Xinjiang person said excitedly.  As he spoke, he spoke a few words in Xinjiang to the young man next to him, asking him to take a good look at the stall, and then went to the bank to transfer money with Zhang Wufeng.  The thing being bid on is a square tripod with an animal face pattern.  The square tripod with animal face pattern is also known as the square tripod with Taotie milk nail pattern and the Duling tripod.  This vessel is a square tripod with animal face patterns in the early Shang Dynasty. It was unearthed in Zhangzhai South Street, Zhengzhou, Henan in 1974.  Straight mouth, folded rim, square lip, two arched ears along the rim, and grooves on the outside.  It has a bucket-shaped square armpit, cylindrical feet, and a belly decorated with animal mask patterns and breast nail patterns.  There were two pieces in total when they were unearthed. One was 1 meter high and weighed 86.4 kilograms. It was the largest piece of early Shang Dynasty bronze ware discovered so far. It is now in the collection of the Chinese History Museum.  The other is smaller, 87 meters high and weighing 64.25 kilograms, and is stored in the Henan Provincial Museum.  Zhang Wufeng had seen this thing before, so it was not surprising, but the square tripod with the animal face pattern in front of him was only a palm-sized square tripod.  The workmanship is exquisite, and the carvings are permeated with a special aura.  Of course, this is not the main thing. The main thing is that the outer layer of this thing was renovated during the Tang Dynasty, so its age is only around the Tang Dynasty, and because the renovation method is relatively crude, its value is only  Only about two million.  Two million is actually a high price.  But if the outer layer is removed, its value will not be less than ten million, and it may even be a priceless treasure.  However, for Zhang Wufeng, there is no such mentality of picking up leaks. He does not care about money at the moment, but only cares about??Things inside.  "Mr. Zhang, it seems that you like the early Shang Dynasty bronzes with animal mask patterns." As the Xinjiang people said this to Zhang Wufeng, they paid attention to Zhang Wufeng's mood and anger, and seemed to express his own words by observing his words and expressions.  The weight is the same.  "Well, I do like it a bit, and I have special knowledge in this area. Let's talk about bronzes, this thing" Zhang Wufeng didn't lie, he said with a smile, and told some relevant knowledge by the way.  "Well, it's not because of the pressure of life. We won't sell these things that are passed down in the family. Indeed, the exquisite bronzes during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, especially the bronze ritual vessels, were extremely cherished by the rulers. They were heirlooms of aristocratic families.  , only used when holding grand ceremonies or sacrifices. Many ritual vessels are cast with inscriptions (called gold in calligraphy) to record the various privileges, sacrifices, military exploits, orders or rewards of slave owners and nobles, so that they can be preserved forever by future generations.  The inscription on Mao Gong's tripod is the longest, with 497 words. It covers a wide range of contents, including rituals, edicts, orders, battles, and lawsuits. It has the nature of a history book. The number of tripods reflects the status, the weight of the tripod, and the power.  Large and small, and even the rise and fall of royal power, most of the bronzes are covered with animal face patterns. These animal face patterns are also called Taotie patterns. The Taotie pattern is a kind of greedy and mysterious monster imagined by people, with horns,  The claws and tail are actually based on common cows, tigers, and sheep. The Taotie pattern is also an imaginary animal pattern with a side body, horns, and one foot.  With tails, most of them are used for decorative ribbons. The ancient people's humanization of beasts and gods tried to use the image of beasts to create gods. The gods also have effective charisma and can gather strength to help the tribe and deal with natural disasters.  Fighting against other tribes. The combination of human form and animal face to form the pattern of gods is the transition of human beings from primitive ignorance to civilization" "Yeah, I didn't expect you to know this very well.  , then you should also know that this imitation of this square tripod with animal face patterns should have come from the Chongguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and the level of its production is indeed not good. It should be a refurbished early broken tripod. Its value should lie in  That¡¯s the inner part. But it¡¯s impossible to judge because it¡¯s been a long time and it¡¯s difficult to separate it. So its value is actually not more than two million.¡± Zhang Wufeng said with a smile. This is what real masters can see.  It seems that Zhang Wufeng has seen the inner level of a real master. This is the conclusion that a master can draw under normal circumstances. The Xinjiang man sighed slightly and nodded, saying: "That's right.  This is indeed the case, but once it can be separated, the contents inside will cost as much as eight million. This is like gambling on stones. However, if you buy it for collection, you still care about its true value, and you will fall into the same trap.  "Haha, yes, that's why I like it, so I bought it for three million without saying a word. If I add it little by little, it will offend people and waste time." Zhang Wufeng laughed. "Well, anyway,  What do you think of this thing? Those who like it will not suffer any loss if they buy it at a high price, but those who don¡¯t like it will lose money if they buy it at a cheap price.  Soon, Zhang Wufeng transferred the money to the Xinjiang people, and he also got the animal-faced square tripod. "Mr. Zhang, I see that you are very interested in this. You won three million in one go, and you are very good at it."  Proficient, originally I didn¡¯t want to sell it, but seeing you acting like this, I just said so.  I also have a small size ¡®Simuwu Dafang Ding¡¯ at home, do you want it?  If you want, I'll count you eight million, you are an expert, you can look at the product and decide whether to buy it or not. This is definitely not a trick, you will know after seeing it. If you don't want to see it, I won't force it.  "The Xinjiang people hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly said. "Huh?  The small Simuwu Dafang Ding?  "Zhang Wufeng was slightly surprised. He looked at the things in his hands and then at the Xinjiang people. "Yes, a small one. It's about the same size as this. How should I put it? You'll know if it's worth eight million when you look at it.  My son owes loan sharks and is being hunted. I have to raise money as soon as possible. Three million is enough, but I still want to leave some savings for my son, but I won¡¯t let him know" Xinjiang people pondered  He said with a somewhat difficult tone, "Are you talking about the Simu Wu Dafang Ding?  Is it the extra large bronze tripod discovered in Anyang County, Henan Province in 1939?  " "Yes," the Xinjiang man said with certainty. Zhang Wufeng nodded. He knew that after the Dafang Ding was unearthed, it was too big and heavy to be carried for a while. The Japanese invaders took it away many times. In order to avoid being plundered, people  Bury it in the ground??It was not seen again until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and is now collected in the Chinese History Museum.  The Simuwu Dafang Ding is rectangular in shape, with a mouth length of 1 cm, a width of 78 cm, a wall thickness of 6 cm, a height of 133 cm with ears, and a weight of 875 kg.  At that time, it required 70 to 80 craftsmen working at the same time to cast it, and more than 1,000 kilograms of metal raw materials were used.  It is not only the largest bronze ware unearthed in our country, but also a rare and exquisite bronze ware in the world.  Although the Dafang Ding is large and heavy, its production process is very delicate.  The thunder pattern on the body of the tripod is the ground, and the green dragon and Taotie patterns are embossed around it. These animal patterns are carved out through highly artistic exaggeration and deformation.  The patterns set off a ferocious, mysterious and majestic atmosphere.  The Simuwu Ding represents the highest achievement of bronze casting technology in the Shang Dynasty in terms of casting technology and artistic level.  Archaeologists believe that this tripod was made by the Shang king to worship his wife, so it was named Simuwu Dafang Ding.  The tripod was a cooking utensil for cooking food in primitive society. It was made of clay.  With the emergence and development of metallurgical technology, the tripod was cast in bronze in the late Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. Moreover, the tripod at this time had become a ritual vessel and a symbol of power and wealth.  Shang and Zhou bronzes formed a unique series of shapes.  Containers include tripods, kettles, statues, pots, etc. Musical instruments include cymbals, bells, imitation wood drums, chimes, etc., as well as weapons, chariots and horses, etc. Among them, containers are the largest category.  The exquisite bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, especially bronze ritual vessels, were extremely prized by rulers.  They are heirlooms of noble families and are only used during grand ceremonies or sacrifices.  Many ritual vessels are cast with inscriptions (called gold in calligraphy), which record the various privileges, sacrifices, military exploits, orders or rewards of the slave-owning nobles, so that they can be preserved forever by future generations. The Mao Gong Ding in the Western Zhou Dynasty has the longest inscription, with 497 words.  It covers a wide range of contents, including rituals, edicts, appointments, battles, and lawsuits. It has the nature of a historical record. The number of tripods reflects the status, the weight of the tripod, the size of the power, and even the rise and fall of royal power. Most of them are printed on bronze vessels.  It is full of animal face patterns, which are also called gluttonous patterns. The gluttonous pattern is a kind of greedy and mysterious monster imagined by people, with horns, claws and tails. It is actually based on the common cow,  The Taotie pattern is created from the prototype of tiger and sheep. It is also an imaginary animal. The Taotie pattern is sideways, with horns, one foot, and a curled tail. It is mostly used for decorative belts.  Face patterns are the humanization of beasts and gods by the ancients, trying to create gods with the help of the images of beasts. The gods have effective charisma and can gather strength to help the tribe fight against natural disasters and other tribes. The human form and the animal face are combined.  In the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the patterns and styles of bronze vessels were gradually replaced by circular patterns and water ripples.  The cover, breasts, ears and other parts were added, and three-dimensional animal-shaped decorations were added to these parts. The splendid bronze art was created under specific historical conditions by slaves who had no personal freedom but had rich imagination.  , these various patterns and styles not only show the intelligence and superb skills of the foundry craftsmen, but also reflect the ethics and moral concepts of the slave society at that time, becoming a witness to history. But what Zhang Wufeng is interested in is not the history of this thing.  Cultural precipitation is not something else, but the spiritual imprint of the Taotie pattern itself. The Taotie imprint may have dissipated on the big thing, but the pattern on this small thing in front of me shocked even Zhang Wufeng, because its spirit  The mark is extremely vivid. If such a thing is swallowed, you can imagine how the strength will be improved. Thinking of this, Zhang Wufeng said in a deep voice: "If it is really similar to what you said, then I will give you a  Ten million, of course, if I like it. "Well, let's go and have a look." "Okay, okay" the Xinjiang man replied immediately, then he thought about it and said, "Let's do this, to avoid you doubting my integrity and suspicion."  I have a gang that deceives you into going to a strange and secret place to rob you. I will ask my nephew to get it, and you can wait at my stall for about twenty minutes." The Xinjiang man thought about it and said. "Haha, that's okay too.  "Zhang Wufeng said with a smile. The other party did not have any thoughts, but under normal circumstances, it is what normal people should be careful about strangers. However, Zhang Wufeng still wants to continue Taobao, so he doesn't really want to run away with the Xinjiang people.  .
