My system is not decent

Although Chen Wenzhe didn't find a large number of Yuan blue and white flowers during his trip to sea this time, he gained a lot in other things.

The harvested porcelains are of simple and simple style, many of which are large blue and white bowls with trumpet mouths, and more than a dozen of them can be designated as national treasures in the collection of the museum.

Among them, the more representative porcelains are: the four series of sauce glaze dragon jars in the Ming Dynasty, the tiger sauce glaze jars in the Ming Dynasty, and so on.

Either these porcelains had never been found before, or no complete ones had been found before.

But this time, Chen Wenzhe can be said to have reaped a lot of money.

Of course, in addition to porcelain, the other big heads, that is, high-value harvests, must be gold and silver.

Among them, gold bricks, gold coins, gold bars, and gold wares were not found in large quantities.

The most of them are gold coins, there are tens of thousands of them, and there are only a hundred pieces of gold bars and gold bricks.

Among them, the more special ones should be the gold wine cups of the Ming Dynasty. Some of them look very simple.

What is called light element, that is, there is no decoration, it is a delicate small cup made of thin gold sheet.

The mouth of such a cup is slightly open, the body of the cup is slanted down and introverted, the foot is circled, and the whole body has no decoration.

This kind of gold cup has been unearthed in China.

It seems to be from the Ming Dynasty, and it should be in ancient Bozhou.

According to historical records, Yizun once belonged to Bozhou in ancient history.

From Yang Duan's entry into Guizhou in 876 AD to the 28th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty when Yang Yinglong's rebellion was eliminated, the Yang family has gone through 29 generations, a total of 725 years.

During the Song and Ming Dynasties, the economy in Xuanweisi of Bozhou was more developed than other chieftain areas.

During that period, a large number of specialized manors and workshops appeared, with a very fine division of labor, capable of producing a variety of items, including specialized workshops for the production of gold and silver utensils.

Dozens of gold and silver wares were unearthed in the Ming Dynasty Yang's tombs in Gaoping, Yizun, which shows that in the Ming Dynasty, the local gold craftsmanship was already very exquisite.

The use of gold and silver wares as funeral objects shows the prominent status of the Yang family in Banzhou.

Of course, what Chen Wenzhe discovered this time was definitely not just such a simple golden cup, but also other more delicate golden cups.

Although it couldn't compare to the fake gold cup with cloud and dragon patterns that Chen Wenzhe bought before, it wasn't too far behind.

This is a gold octagonal cup from the Ming Dynasty. The cup is octagonal, with a wide mouth and an octagonal foot.

The wall is very thin and the workmanship is regular.

In addition to this golden octagonal cup, there are several other cups of similar shape.

These cups are all octagonal cups, similar in shape and size, but made of different materials, some are made of gold, some are made of porcelain, some are carved from jade, and there is even a piece that is carved from crystal.

Especially these octagonal cups carved with special materials, the craftsmanship is not complicated, but it is really not easy to make them.

For example = a sapphire octagonal cup with folded ears in the Ming Dynasty, which is a drinking vessel in the Ming Dynasty.

The body of the cup is octagonal, and the ring foot follows the shape of the cup.

The two sides are decorated with openworked overlapping ears. On the wide top plate of the upper ear stands a auspicious animal, and the lower jaw rests on the edge of the cup to look at each other. The shape is beautiful and the workmanship is exquisite.

The cup is 13 cm long, 7.2 cm wide and 5.9 cm high.

It is carved from sapphire with yellowish brown spots.

The body of the cup is octagonal, and the ring foot follows the shape of the cup.

Needless to say, this was carved out of a single piece of jade.

In the Ming Dynasty without modern tools, it must be difficult to hollow out a piece of jade and make it look like a wine glass.

If it is a porcelain cup, it is relatively simple to make.

Porcelain octagonal cups are produced domestically, but what was found in the shipwreck this time was a typical Dehua kiln pasted plum blossom octagonal cup.

尺寸高4厘米，口径8.4x6厘米，底径4.5x3.8厘米。

The appearance is very high, and there is no blemish on the edge of the mouth and the body of the vessel, which is really rare.

This cup has a rectangular mouth with an octagon, and the cup wall is deep and curved, and eight ribs are formed corresponding to the corners of the cup mouth.

Shallow ring feet, white glaze inside and outside, astringent tires inside the ring feet.

Both sides of the outer wall are pasted with plastic plum patterns.

Dehua kiln porcelain is famous for its white and moist body glaze, which is a unique feature of Dehua kiln white porcelain.

The most difficult thing is that this cup is well preserved.

In addition, the last one is an octagonal cup made of crystal.

When he first saw it, Chen Wenzhe thought it was a glass product. After careful study, he discovered the unique texture of crystal stone.

This is a crystal octagonal cup with double animal ears, 5.3cm high, 8cm in diameter and 4cm in foot diameter.

The cup is made of crystal, slightly brown in color and transparent in texture.

The body is octagonal, with protruding beast-swallowing ears on both sides, and the cup body is full of light.

These cultural relics must be high-quality goods, but they are still incomparable to the heavy wares among porcelain.

Of course, even if these things were compared to the golden boat he had salvaged, Chen Wenzhe didn't think of such gains at all.

However, there are still some strange things in it, such as copper.

It is normal to find gold and silver, but it is strange to find copper.

When they cleaned up the wreckage of the shipwreck, the copper material that came out of the water, due to long-term immersion in the water, the cultural relics left marine life, and an oyster shell remained on the copper material.

Finally, it was identified that these are Ming Dynasty copper coins and copper materials.

It was precisely because of the discovery of the copper material that Chen Wenzhe could judge that these merchant ships probably dared to smuggle them back then.

Since smuggling, it is natural not to smuggle only a huge amount of porcelain, so there will be a lot of gold, silver and bronze wares on this kind of ship.

From ancient times to the present, copper materials are very important in our country, because it can be used to make currency.

Therefore, the appearance of copper material generally means smuggling.

This time, Chen Wenzhe cleared out quite a few bronze mirrors, which were well preserved and not too severely corroded by sea water. If you just pick and choose, there are three to five hundred pieces.

Coupled with the matching porcelain mirror box, the value of this batch of mirrors is also very high.

"Huh?" When Chen Wenzhe saw one of the bronze mirrors, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Because this bronze mirror is obviously better preserved, and the decoration on it is very complicated.

If it was just like this, Chen Wenzhe would not be surprised. What shocked him the most was that there were inscriptions on it, and it was not a simple inscription.

Since the inscription is covered with a layer of copper rust, it is not very clear.

But even so, Chen Wenzhe could still see some familiar words on the bronze mirror.

I saw the words "Yang City Jiangxin Dragon Mirror" engraved on it, which is not easy.

If you don't know the history of bronze mirror production in China, you will definitely not care.

However, as long as you have a little understanding of bronze mirrors, you should know this legendary bronze mirror.

This kind of bronze mirror has always existed in historical books and ancient books, and it is a kind of tribute mirror specially paid to the royal family.

However, the archaeological circle of our country has never found a similar mirror before.

It can be said that in this field, there is always a blank.
