My system is not decent

On July 2017, 7, Mr. Du sent the Xijia plate to the Xileng Yinshe auction.

At the auction site, the starting bid was 1.2 million, 1.25 million, 1.3 million, 1.4 million, 1.5 million, 1.6 million, 1.65 million.

After a long wait, the telephone entrustment reported 1.7 million.

The on-site quotation was 1.75 million, and after a few minutes of waiting again.

An offer of 1.8 million yuan outside the venue, 1.85 million yuan inside the venue, the hammer fell!

The 2020 number plate was won, and the person holding the plate was a well-known insider from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He was entrusted by collectors to participate in the bidding, but it is not clear whether this heavy vessel will eventually stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, the auction market lasted for half an hour before and after, plus the commission, the transaction price was as high as 2.1275 yuan.

[-] can definitely be called the crazy "Year of Bronze".

Since March, Christie's in New York has auctioned four heavy bronze objects from the Fujita Art Museum for over 3 million yuan.

After that, legendary bronze ware transaction records also appeared in the mainland auction market.

The price of Xijia Pan is second only to Fang Zun and Fang Zhen in the Fujita sale in New York in March.

Many national treasure-level historical relics seen today have extremely prominent inheritance stories.

However, as the saying goes, dragons see their heads but never their tails. They often hide mysteriously after a glimpse in the depths of history.

When people desperately search for its location but cannot find it, it will appear in an unexpected place, making everyone admire it.

Xijiapan is such a legendary existence.

1.85 million under the hammer!The total transaction price exceeds [-] million yuan, such a thing must be a super national treasure!

Shang and Zhou bronzes, which represent the pinnacle of ancient Chinese artworks, have been unearthed and collected in all dynasties.

For example, we unearthed a Tiliang You from the Western Zhou Dynasty in the tomb of Haihunhou, which has been very popular in the past two years.

Therefore, many of the royal family in the Han Dynasty were also "antique collectors".

In the Song Dynasty, a climax of the royal family's collection of ancient and imitated ancients was formed.

In the period of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, this famous art emperor presided over the compilation of the most famous Jinshi book "Xuanhe Bogutu" in the history of our country.

He recorded 839 pieces of bronzes collected by the royal family of the Song Dynasty in the Xuanhe Hall from the Shang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

However, it should be noted that Xijiapan is not listed in Song Huizong's "Xuanhe Bogutu".

This roughly shows that during the Northern Song Dynasty, this heavy vessel had not yet entered the palace of the Song Dynasty in Tibet.

Why do you say it was unearthed in the Song Dynasty?It is mainly recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The earliest description of Xijiapan can be found in the Southern Song Dynasty's "Shaoxing Neifu Ancient Artifact Review", written by Zhang Lun.

He was active around the end of Song Gaozong Shaoxing (1131-1162) and Xiaozong Chunxi (1174-1189).

In the book "Shaoxing Neifu Ancient Artifacts Review", Zhang Lun recorded Xijia pan as "Zhou Boji's father's pan".

There is also controversy about the different names in the description.

This book clearly records that Xijiapan has "three characters of Ming 130".

Since the ancient artifacts recorded in this book are all collected by the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, except for the "Review of Ancient Artifacts of Shaoxing Neifu", other ancient books of the Southern Song Dynasty are not mentioned.

Therefore, some scholars believe that Xijiapan has entered the court of the Southern Song Dynasty in Tibet around the time of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou (1107-1187).

But for more than 100 years, it has been hidden in the palace. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongolian Yuan that the disk was scattered among the people.

After the Southern Song Dynasty, in the period of seven to eight hundred years, there were only two clear collectors of Xijiapan, but they were all well-known super figures.

From the Shame of Jingkang to the Battle of Yashan, the brilliant civilization of the Song Dynasty was ravaged by aliens twice.

Many treasures from the courts of the Song Dynasty were scattered among the people. This Xijia plate was discovered by accident again, and it was attributed to the famous calligrapher Xian Yushu (1246-1302) of the Yuan Dynasty who was as famous as Zhao Mengfu.

Xian Yushu wrote in "Zunxuezhai Miscellaneous Records": "Zhou Boji's father had an inscription of 130 characters, and Li Shunfu of the Xingtai sold it in the city. His family broke his foot and used it as a cake oven. I saw it and returned it."

Lu You, a gold and stone connoisseur in the Yuan Dynasty who was later than Xian Yushu, also recorded Xi Jiapan's "tragic experience" in his book "Yanbei Magazine".

Zhou Boji's father plate, inscribed with 130 characters.

The family members folded their feet and used them as cake plates.

Xianyu Boji was verified as an ancient relic, so he returned it.

Because he was young in Shu, he died in the sixth year of Dade (1302) in the early Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, it can be concluded that as early as the early Yuan Dynasty, the family of Li Shunfu of Xingtai knocked off the ring and used it as a frying pan for pancakes.

Since the Xijia plate was recorded numerous times as early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it can be called a famous piece, so it has been imitated in later generations.

However, some Xijia pans imitated by later generations suddenly "grow" ring feet, which is a big joke.

Throughout the Ming and early Qing dynasties, there were no well-known records of Xijiapan.

But in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Xijiapan was acquired by a famous gold and stone master.

He is the famous Chen Jieqi, and this time period is from 1813 to 1884.

Chen Jieqi, a native of Weicheng, Qilu, was one of the most outstanding collectors and connoisseurs of gold and stone in the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Jieqi has been proficient in the textual research of inscriptions on gold and stones and the identification of counterfeit utensils throughout his life. There are more than 7000 ancient seals of the three generations, Qin and Han Dynasties alone.

The reason why Chen Jieqi has never been seen before or since is that he has collected more than 2 pieces of bronzes, seals, stone carvings, pottery, bricks, statues, etc. in his lifetime.

Later, many experts and scholars conducted rigorous research on the collections of his life, but they did not find a single fake.

Among collectors who have lived for thousands of years, this is simply a god-like existence.

Chen Jieqi collected many well-known Shang and Zhou bronzes throughout his life, except for the famous Maogong Ding, which is now in the collection of the Beitai Palace Museum.

Others include the Tiande Gui, which is now in the collection of the Huaxia History Museum.

Zeng Boyu is now in the collection of the National Huaxia Museum.

In addition to these, the Xijia plate can definitely be regarded as a famous piece in Chen Jieqi's lifetime collection.

And Chen Jieqi's collection is definitely the greatest guarantee of its age and authenticity.

After Mr. Chen Jieqi got the Xijia Pan, he recorded its collection and textual research in many of his works.

Chen Jieqi's "Ru Zhai Jinwen Inscriptions" has the following records: "The second half is missing. 130 three characters. The characters are like stone drums, and the things of the time of King Xuan. Lu's oath. Wen. Out of Baoyang official treasury...".

It is worth mentioning that during the 800 years of the Xijia plate, the earliest rubbings seen today are from the hands of Chen Jieqi.

Looking through the materials now, you can find in the National Library that there is a rubbing of the Xijia plate rubbed by Chen Jieqi.

Another rubbing of Chen Jieqi's Xijia plate was collected by a famous contemporary gold and stone collector in Dahai City.

Chen Wenzhe is very interested in this aspect, and had the honor to see the photo of that rubbing before.
