    After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Wu Kecai suddenly said: "Oh, what do you mean, the Yue is a symbol of power and status, and the Cheng is the military power to mobilize troops?" Chu Chen replied: "Yes, that's pretty much it.  Meaning!¡± After understanding the difference between Yue and Cheng, Wu Ke asked, ¡°What¡¯s so special about the Cheng you just bought?¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Chen asked with a smile, ¡°How do you say you know it?  What's so special about it?" "Tsk!" Wu Ke curled his lips and said, "I don't know you yet. If it were just an ordinary thing, would you be willing to buy it?" Chu Chen said with a smile, "You can't say that.  As long as I can make money, I'm willing to buy anything." Wu Ke pouted, then took Chu Chen's hand and said coquettishly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and say it!"  Chen was really annoyed by Wu Ke's coquettishness and said quickly: "Okay, I'll just say it. That bronze sword has an iron blade embedded in it, and there are two bronze inscriptions on it, which should be the name of the user, but  I have to go back and look it up before I know what it is." Wu Ke said with some disappointment, "That's it?" Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "Then what else do you think? You know, that iron blade.  "It's made of meteorite iron?" Wu Ke exclaimed when she heard this, and then she realized that this was a restaurant. If she said it so loudly, the surrounding guests would definitely hear it.  arrived, so she quickly looked around secretly and found that some guests were indeed looking at her curiously, which made her stick out her tongue in embarrassment.  "You are a real person. Why didn't you know that just saying it together caused such a big harm to me!" He said.  Wu Ke was a little angry and hit Chu Chen's arm several times.  Chu Chen chuckled and said: "This is indeed my fault, but I didn't expect it. You would have such a big reaction when you heard about the meteorite!" "Aren't you talking nonsense!" Wu Ke said angrily:  "This is meteorite, a magical weapon often mentioned in martial arts novels. Do you think I can't be surprised?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "You also said that it is a martial arts novel. In real life, except for meteorite,  It contains nickel, which can indeed enhance the strength of the blade, but it is not as mysterious as what is written in the novel!" "Really?" Wu Ke asked dubiously.  Chu Chen nodded and said: "This can be false. It is not that weapons made of meteorite have never been unearthed in our country. If it is really like what is written in the novel, wouldn't it have been known to the world long ago?" Because of the natural purity  Iron almost does not exist in nature. The melting point of iron ore is also high and it is not easy to reduce. Therefore, humans use iron later than copper, tin, lead, gold, etc. Therefore, iron found in some ancient civilizations in the world  The earliest iron tools were made from meteorite iron.  Our country has also unearthed some weapons made of meteorite iron. For example, in 1972, a Shang Dynasty iron-blade bronze china was unearthed in Yan Province.  It dates from around the 14th century BC. There is an iron blade embedded in the bronze chimney. The iron blade was heated and forged from meteorite iron, and then embedded and forged with the chimney body.  Our country has also unearthed a similar iron-edged bronze hammer and an iron-aided bronze gun.  The age is equivalent to the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty, and the iron part is also processed from meteorite iron.  A lot of them have been discovered abroad.  For example, people once visited the ancient tombs in the ancient city of Ur built by the ancient Sumerians in Western Asia.  A small ax made of meteorite iron was found in an ancient tomb in the ancient city of Ur built by the ancient Sumerians.  A small ax made of meteorite iron was found.  In the ancient Sumerian language, iron is called "Anbar", which means "fire from heaven". The so-called fire from heaven is meteorite.  The ancient Egyptians simply called iron "the stone of heaven".  It can be seen that people's earliest understanding of iron probably started from meteorites.  Chu Chen explained: "Because the number of meteorites falling from the sky is very small, the utensils made of meteorite iron are of course very precious and also have a mysterious color. So, although the cheng I just got looks like  The production was very simple, but it was very precious at the time. With these two bronze inscriptions, the current market value is not low." After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wu Ke asked, "Then how much is this thing worth?  Money?" Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "It should be said that its cultural relic value is relatively high. As for its economic value, it should only be a few hundred thousand at most." Wu Xiaoxiao said, "A few hundred thousand is pretty good."  , and I don¡¯t want to think that you only spent three euros in total, plus the rhinoceros horn cup you just bought for five euros. You can earn money that no one else can earn in a lifetime, but you have earned it so easily. If  If my dad knew about it, he would probably be drooling with envy. ¡± ?Chen said with a smile: "My father-in-law has become numb after seeing me picking up leaks. He is not like you said." Wu Ke rolled his eyes at him: "Look at how cool you are!" Next, the two  They chatted and laughed for a while, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they settled the bill and prepared to go to the flea market to try to gain something more.  "You two, could you please wait a moment" As soon as Chu Chen and Wu Ke walked out of the door of the restaurant, they heard someone calling them in Chinese from behind. When they looked back, they saw a thirty-seven-year-old Asian  American man.  When the man walked up to him quickly, Chu Chen asked: "Sir, what do you want to do with you?" The man first greeted the two of them politely, and then asked: "Sir, are you really happy?  Is there anything made of meteorite iron? "Although this man is well-dressed and doesn't look like a bad person, the two of them are in a foreign country after all, and there are some things they have to guard against, so Wu Ke first gave  Chu Chen gave an apologetic look, and then said in a stiff tone: "Does it have nothing to do with you, right?" Regarding Wu Ke's reaction, the man didn't think anything was wrong. After all, he was the one who rashly approached to strike up a conversation, and the other party acted inappropriately.  It's normal to be friendly.  He said with a smile: "You two, this is indeed a bit presumptuous of me. Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Ning. I own an antique shop in the market. I just heard this girl talk about Tianwai.  "Yitie, I was so happy to see Xie Xin that I wanted to gain some knowledge. I hope you two can forgive me!" "It is wise not to reveal your wealth, and the other person is a stranger you don't know at all, although there is really no harm in meeting this person."  , but Chu Chen still shook his head and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, we have something to do later, so let's avoid this matter!" Seeing that Chu Chen and Wu Ke wanted to leave, the man quickly said: "Hey! Sir  , Don¡¯t worry, I am also a bad person, and my antique shop is not far from here. There are also some good things in the store that I think are very good. I think sir, you should also be interested in antiques. We can also communicate.  !" As he spoke, he took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Chu Chen with both hands.  Chu Chen took the business card and looked at it. In addition to French, it also had English and Chinese introductions. However, when he saw the man's Chinese name, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because his name was Nan Nancai.  "Mr. Nan, your surname is rare in China. I originally thought your surname was Ning!" The surname Nan is one of the four minor surnames in our country.  This surname originates from the Xianbei tribe and comes from the Tunan tribe of the ancient Xianbei tribe. It is a surname based on the name of the tribe.  During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was the Tunan clan of the Xianbei tribe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, also known as the Tunan clan, which was a small tribe in the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei.  The word "Tunan" is the ancient people's name for a kind of bird. According to research, it is today's ostrich.  Since the ancient Xianbei tribe respected the bird, they named the tribe "Tunan" and used the bird as the totem of their tribe. Later it became a surname, with the abbreviation "Tunan" or "Tunan".  After the Northern Wei Dynasty took over the Central Plains, the Tunan tribe changed their surname to "Nan". Later, the "Nan" surname moved north with Xianbei, and the Songhua River was also renamed "Nanjiang" at that time.  After many twists and turns,.  Nowadays, the "Nan" surname in our country is mainly distributed in four small villages in Henan Province. The men, women, old and young who have lived here for generations all have the surname "Nan".  "My family's ancestral home is also from Henan Province, and it was not until 1887 that I immigrated to France. My ancestors and father's generation were all business owners, but I was mainly interested in business, so I opened an antique store." Nan Nan explained with a smile.  After a while, he invited again: "Sir, come and sit at my place. What do you think?" In addition to this person's surname, Chu Chen also discovered just now that Nan Nancai's shop is located exactly where the old lady said before.  The Marchevernaison Market where antique shops are gathered, considering that he and Wu Ke originally wanted to go there, he agreed: "Okay, let me ask you to give me some advice" Then, Chu Chen and Wu  But under the leadership of Nan Nancai, they came to his antique shop.  During this period, Chu Chen also briefly introduced himself, Wu Ke and Nan Nan.  The signboard of Nan Nancai's antique shop is very simple, just the word "Nan". Of course, because the surname Nan is rare, it is not easy to get confused.  The environment of the antique shop is very good. The two of them followed Nan Nan into the house and found that the decoration here was in a typical Chinese garden style, with birds singing and flowers everywhere, making people feel relaxed and happy when they entered.  Walking into the store, Nan Nancai did not rush to see Chu Chen's things, but took Chu Chen and Wu Ke around first.  Looking at it, Chu Chen discovered that there are things from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties here in Nancai. Although most of them are ordinary objects, some are rare and exquisite.  For example, ChuThe nine-eyed dzi bead I saw was very good.  This is a nine-eye double-sided dzi bead, which is black and white. The bead is very old and the double-sided beads on both sides are extremely rare.  The natural weathering appearance can be seen on the surface of the bead, which is well preserved.  The nine-eyed dzi bead symbolizes the supreme and supreme number in Tibetan areas.  This bead was probably worn by dignitaries and upper-class people in ancient times.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
