Chapter 145 Inscription?

The solvent prepared by Mr. Liu is colorless and odorless, and when it is poured into the sink, it immediately dissolves with clean water.

After Mr. Liu found a pair of rubber gloves and put them on, he picked up Li Shizhen's money sword and put it into the water.

"This sword needs to be soaked for about 5 minutes, and then depending on the situation, I will decide whether to increase the concentration of the solvent in the sink or replace the solvent specially used to remove copper rust." Liu Lao said while taking off his gloves.

Yang Jing hurriedly folded the paper with the names of the raw materials for mixing this solvent that he had written down just now, and put it in his wallet.A total of more than 20 different raw materials are needed to prepare this solvent. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and it is best to write it down.

"Little Yang, you have to remember one thing. Rust on ancient copper coins is not a bad thing. Those rusts on ancient copper coins are actually imprints left by the years and the environment. Many times, we cultural relics workers will The age and authenticity of ancient coins are identified by the thickness, color, firmness, etc. of these copper rusts. However, it is precisely because of this characteristic of ancient copper coins that many people who fake ancient copper coins now try to artificially make copper coins. Therefore, as long as the copper rust on the unearthed ancient copper coins does not affect the recognition and reading of the money text, it is generally not necessary to remove the rust on the copper coins."

"Also, the removal of rust on bronze coins or bronze utensils depends on the situation. You can't use those rust removal methods to remove rust, otherwise it is easy to damage these bronze coins, and more often it will even be destroyed. These precious ancient copper coins are like the two copper coins and swords you brought today. On the surface, they look very rusty, but in fact most of them are rusty, so when removing rust, you must first use a solvent to remove rust. , if there is a lot of copper rust inside after the soil rust is removed, we need to prepare another solvent specially used to remove copper rust.”

During the waiting time, Mr. Liu told Yang Jing a lot about the maintenance methods of ancient copper coins and even bronze wares, which made Yang Jing very happy.

Mr. Liu is the leading expert on ancient bronze wares and bronze wares in the Palace Museum. It will be an extremely rare opportunity for Yang Jing to be reminded by everyone. That's good.

It's a pity that the waiting time was only 5 minutes, and Mr. Liu was about to take out the money sword after a few paragraphs.

At this time, the solution in the sink had become extremely cloudy, and the money sword soaked in it could no longer be seen.

Yang Jing put on the rubber gloves first and said, "Mr. Liu, let me do this kind of work. You can guide me."

Mr. Liu nodded with a smile and said: "Then you should be careful, the hemp rope of this sword is probably rotten. Once the rust is removed, the whole sword may have fallen apart."

Yang Jing carefully put his hand into the sink, and quickly touched the sword.

To Yang Jing's surprise, the sword did not disintegrate as imagined, at least it was still quite solid to the touch.

"Mr. Liu, this sword doesn't seem to be scattered. I feel it's quite strong."

Hearing Yang Jing's words, Elder Liu also showed surprise on his face, and while wearing rubber gloves, he said, "Don't move, I'll see what's going on."

Yang Jing withdrew his hand, and Mr. Liu carefully stretched it in, and then a surprised smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, this sword should be made of hemp rope mixed with metal wires, otherwise this sword should have disintegrated long ago. Well, if my guess is right, this sword should have a lot of background."

After speaking, Mr. Liu gently held the sword and left the sink, and then put the sword on the desk.

"Hehe, Lao Cai, come over and take a look. There are indeed a lot of metal wires mixed in the hemp rope that weaves this sword. Look at these black filaments, aren't they the metal wires mixed in the hemp rope? Hmm ? These two are."

Elder Liu's face became serious, and he took out a magnifying glass to take a closer look, and after a while, his face revealed a look of surprise, "God, there are even a few gold threads in it! This sword is definitely not something ordinary people can own, it should be an authentic Taoist money sword!"

Hearing what Mr. Liu said, Yang Jing also saw the few dark yellow filaments mixed in a small bundle of black filaments.This sword has been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years. Ordinary metals would have oxidized and discolored long ago. Only an inert metal like gold can be buried underground for hundreds or thousands of years without changing its color. At most, it will turn dark.

Cai Yi also came up to look at it for a while, and then said: "The shape of this sword is also different from the shape of the money sword in the north. I remember that money swords with this shape were popular in the Yangtze River Valley for a while, right? "

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Yes, judging from the shape of this sword, it should be the Taoist money sword that was popular in the south of the Yangtze River and near the middle reaches of the Yangtze River during the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli years of Ming Dynasty."

The shape of this sword is indeed different from the money sword Yang Jing has seen before.The money sword that Yang Jing has seen before has a sword guard between the hilt and the sword body, which is the guard, but this sword has no sword lattice. From the hilt forward, it is directly the body of the sword. The sword looks like a stick.

Yang Jing had never seen such a strange money sword before, but when he heard Mr. Liu say that, Yang Jing immediately gave Mr. Liu a thumbs up in his heart.

The identification result given by Shengjie is that this sword was made by Li Shizhen in 1573, and 1573 happened to be the first year of Wanli, the second year of Emperor Wanli's accession to the throne.

"Hey, Lao Liu, there seems to be words on the blade of this sword." Cai Yi suddenly called out loudly. It is obviously not an ordinary discovery that can make everyone like Cai Yi make such a scream.

"Hey, you guys have great eyes for ancient porcelain. I didn't see it, but you did. Well, yes, it seems to be an inscription, but it's covered with rust, so you can't see it." After looking at it for a while, Mr. Liu He also laughed and ridiculed Cai Yi. Obviously, the suspected raised font on the sword made Liu Lao and Cai Yi very excited.Jian Tan is the protrusion on the back of the hilt, which is usually used for counterweight and fastening the tassel.

It would be the best thing if inscriptions could be found on unearthed cultural relics like this, which could not be studied at all, because inscriptions usually have a great possibility to explain the origin of this cultural relic.

"Be good! This sword is a standard Qiankun sword, and it is made of hemp rope mixed with gold thread. There are inscriptions on the sword. This sword is not simple! No, I have to If you study this sword carefully, it might be a great discovery." Mr. Liu seemed extremely excited.

Yang Jingxin said, if this sword can be found out, it will definitely be a great discovery. What is the sword of Li Shizhen, the sage of medicine, if it is not a great discovery?
