    Du Liyu smiled awkwardly and said: "This is different after all!" "Why is it different?" Du Shengqing said angrily: "Didn't you listen to your uncle Guan just now? Xiao Chu's tea cup is probably an existing  The only complete device, a unique thing in the world, do you think you can buy it with money? " At this point, Du Shengqing looked a little sad: "This is how it is with you, everything is measured by money.  Apart from anything else, can money buy family affection and friendship? Maybe you think you have a lot of friends, but let me see, these friends are all interested in your money. If you have no money, look at them.  How many people will pay attention to you!" "Dad, please don't do this today, okay!" Du Liyu looked very embarrassed.  "What can't be said about this? Your uncle Guan and the others are not outsiders. If you don't say it now, I will say it later!" Du Shengqing said: "Lao Guan, don't you want to ask me why I want to transfer something that I have treasured for many years?  Give it to you? I'll make it clear, because they value everything with money. After I leave, they will definitely be selling my collection. Rather than making it cheaper for others, it's better to let it go.  I¡¯ll give it to you!¡± Du Liyu pouted and said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t I know how to collect?¡± Du Shengqing said with a straight face, ¡°You do know how to collect, but you only treat my collection as an investment commodity.  Will you love them sincerely?" Du Liyu fell silent after hearing this.  "Okay!" Du Shengqing waved his hand: "I know you want to persuade me to keep the things, and I agree to leave the other things to you. But this one cannot, I must find a good home for him!  ¡± I heard that¡¯s what happened.  Guan Guokang couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He could understand Du Shengqing's thoughts, but by selling things to him, wouldn't he let his children have opinions about him?  The key is that Du Liyu is lucky, but Du Shengqing's son is relatively small-minded. If he really buys Du Shengqing's things, he will definitely hate himself.  Of course, Guan Guokang is not afraid of this situation.  But more is worse than less. If he had known this, he would have refused on the phone. But now that everyone is here, he can't say no, so he can only glare at Du Shengqing to show his dissatisfaction.  Du Shengqing chuckled.  He chose to turn a blind eye, but there was nothing he could do about it. His health was getting worse day by day, and sometimes he felt that he would not be able to survive this year. By then, the other collections he had left behind would be sold by his children and it would not matter to him, but his favorite collection was the one.  Still want to find a good home for it.  This is not to say that Guan Guokang will not change hands in the future, but he knows that Guan Guokang will carefully screen the buyer before changing hands.  "Lao Du, since you want to transfer things to me, then take them out!" Guan Guokang said.  Du Shengqing looked at the sky, and then suggested: "It's getting late. Let's have dinner first. What do you think?" Guan Guokang looked at Chu Chen and his sister. They both had no objections, so he smiled and said: "Okay,  I haven¡¯t repaid Master Hua for his craftsmanship for a long time¡± The Master Hua mentioned by Guan Guokang is the pastry chef of this teahouse, but the food he makes tastes very good, especially the vegetarian dishes, which are both delicious and delicious.  It feels like it is not inferior to the chef of "Bazhen Jade Food" who specializes in vegetarian food.  In addition, during the Spring Festival, we eat more meat dishes and they taste even more delicious. In the end, all the vegetarian dishes on the table were wiped out.  After dinner, several people drank tea for a while, and saw two waiters carrying something in. Chu Chen took a closer look and realized that it was actually a bronze tripod, and it looked quite small. He estimated that it was four feet tall.  Measuring fifty centimeters, if such a large bronze tripod is genuine, it should be considered a national treasure.  ¡° Moreover, based on the importance Du Shengqing attached to it, Chu Chen felt that this bronze tripod should be 80% genuine.  Generally speaking, ancient bronzes such as Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States cannot be auctioned at (domestic) auctions.  Because these bronzes are very precious, and most of them are unearthed cultural relics.  According to regulations, unearthed cultural relics belong to the state.  If it is not an unearthed cultural relic but is handed down from generation to generation, it should not be subject to restrictions. But now it is not easy to distinguish, so it can only be treated as not being auctioned.  Although it cannot be put up for auction, private transactions do exist.  The reason why private transactions are not interfered with is that it is difficult to distinguish between authentic products from the past and modern imitations.  Of course, the regulation that unearthed cultural relics belong to the state is not rigid in its implementation. Otherwise, it is estimated that many things in the antique market will be confiscated.  Besides, blocking is worse than sparing. If this rule is strictly enforced, many cultural relics may be smuggled abroad.  Of course Chu Chen is not pedantic.When the man saw this bronze tripod, he was only slightly surprised, and his expression returned to normal.  Du Shengqing glanced at Chu Chen, smiled slightly, then put on his gloves, gently stroked the bronze tripod that was brought to him, and explained with a smile: "This bronze tripod came from when I traveled to Su City in 1981.  , I happened to see it while passing by a scrap recycling station. The boss of the scrap recycling station was about to smash the tripod. If I hadn¡¯t noticed something was wrong and shouted in time, the bronze tripod would have been smashed by the boss.  It broke, so I spent some money to buy it and have kept it carefully until now." After Du Shengqing finished speaking, Guan Guokang said, "Lao Du, since you want to find a good home for this thing.  , just donate it to the museum!" "I won't donate it!" Du Shengqing, the boss, was not happy and said, "You don't know that I donated something to the museum in my hometown. What will happen after a few years?  When I went there again, everything was completely rusty. From then on, I vowed not to donate anything to the museum again! " "That's entirely your own problem!" Guan Guokang said with a smile: "Well, don't do it to the city.  Donate it, but you have to donate it to the people below. They usually don¡¯t even have much money, so how can they get the money to maintain your things? " "It's impossible for me to donate this bronze tripod anyway!" Du Shengqing shook his head again!  , and then said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Lao Guan, let's take a look at the authenticity of the things!" Guan Guokang spread his hands: "I don't want to see it, and it's not the first time. Let me tell you.  "I'm really not sure that this bronze tripod of yours is authentic!" Du Shengqing said helplessly: "Why are you always holding on to the inscription? Besides, look at the other aspects of this bronze tripod!"  What's the problem?" Hearing what the two said, Chu Chen was a little curious. Is the authenticity of this bronze tripod controversial?  Guan Guokang saw Chu Chen's expression and said, "I won't say anything about this today. Let's listen to Xiao Chu's opinion first. Xiao Chu, take a look at the inscription on this tripod first.  Is there any problem?" Chu Chen nodded, then put on his gloves and found the location of the inscription and observed it carefully.  The bronze tripod in front of you, judging from the appearance of the leather shell, should be a cooked pit vessel, that is, a bronze vessel that has been handed down for many years after being unearthed. Judging from the shape of the tripod, it should be in the style of the late Shang Dynasty.  This tripod has an extravagant mouth with square lips, a pair of vertical ears on the mouth rim, a deep round belly, and three cylindrical feet below.  There are six ridges on the belly of the tripod, and the lower edge of the mouth is decorated with six pairs of birds pecking dragon patterns.  Below the dragon pattern are three groups of large gluttonous animal facial patterns, with round eyes and obvious eyebrow corners.  The Taotie pattern is interrupted by door edges in the middle, and the layout is rigorous.  In addition, there are five inscriptions on the belly of the tripod: "Fu Wei made the tripod."  The inscriptions on bronze vessels are also called bronze inscriptions, bell and tripod inscriptions, etc., which are the inscriptions on ancient bronze vessels.  The content of inscriptions, font styles, casting techniques, and row and column distribution in each period are different due to different social environments. Therefore, it is particularly important to judge the fake characters. It can not only be used as one of the methods to judge the authenticity of the device, but also  It is also a means of judging the authenticity of the inscription content.  The inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period were generally cast, and the contents mostly recorded the sacrifices, instructions, conquests, rewards, oaths, contracts, etc. of the slave-owning nobles. The simplest ones used one or two characters to indicate the names of the slave-owners or their clans.  The inscriptions on bronzes of the Shang Dynasty were first cast in the middle period, and the content is relatively simple, such as hieroglyphics or clan emblems.  The longest inscription is no more than fifty characters, and the font is similar to oracle bone inscriptions. Whether it is the majestic school or the beautiful school divided by paleographer Mr. Rong Geng, the strokes of the two schools are slightly sharper at the beginning and end.  This is the problem with the bronze tripod in front of you. Although it is cast, it looks slightly rounded at the beginning and end. This is a problem.  "If these inscriptions were not cast, it can be said that they were added later. Although they have an impact on this tripod, judging from the performance of this tripod, even if there are no inscriptions, it is still a very rare artifact.  But since the inscription was cast, it can be inferred that there may be something wrong with the entire tripod.  Seeing Chu Chen frowning, Guan Guokang asked: "Xiao Chu, do you see any problem?" "There is also something wrong with the way the inscription is written!" Chu Chen replied.  Du Shengqing said quickly: "I admit that the inscription on this tripod does look different from other inscriptions in the late Shang Dynasty, but look at the other inscriptions, the decoration, layout, etc., which one is different from the bronzes in the late Shang Dynasty? We always  It's impossible to determine the authenticity of a bronze vessel just based on the inscription, right?" Chu Chen nodded. There is some truth to this, but having said that, since there is something wrong with the way the inscription is written, then this tripod is probably the  It¡¯s a fake, take the next step??As long as we find another wrong place, we can basically conclude that this thing is a replica.  So he said: "Mr. Du, let me take a look first." "Okay, take a look" There is a proverb for identifying fake bronzes. This sentence is: first look at the shape, then look at the flower. Take it in your hand and look underneath.  Open your eyes tightly, speak slowly, check the inscriptions carefully, rust spots and ground are the checkpoints.
