My system is not decent

Chapter 1418 The most expensive frying pan in history

Through the inscriptions in "Guo Ji Zi Bai Pan", it can be proved that Xi Jia is Yin Jifu.

He was a strategist, statesman and great poet at that time, both civil and military.

He is also the main editor of "The Book of Songs", preserved and promoted the early Chinese culture, and is regarded as the "ancestor of poetry".

Secondly, the Xijia Pan records the defense of the country, the stability of the northern and southern frontiers, and the relationship with ethnic minorities.

Xijia followed King Zhou to conquer the Xiongnu in the north and defended the northern land.

He also governed Nanhuaiyi and maintained the stability of the southeastern frontier of the dynasty.

Of course, "Guo Ji Zi Bai Pan" also records the Northern Expedition.

Third, record the construction of the legal system and improve the social system.

Xijia supervises tribute, regulates commerce and trade, and strictly enforces the law. He is an important minister in governing the country.

Confucius advocated the Qin and Zhou rites, and the system of the Zhou Dynasty can also be called the originator of all systems in later generations in China.

Fourth, record the development of trade and the budding of the Silk Road.

The tributes from Nanhuai barbarians to the Zhou Dynasty were mainly silk products, and the route from Huanghuai to Shaanxi was the early "Silk Road".

Fifth, it has been passed down as the epitome of epigraphy and other studies since the Song Dynasty.

Since the Song Dynasty, Zhang Lun, Xian Yushu, Lu Youren, Wu Shifen, Chen Jieqi, Wu Dachen, Luo Zhenyu, Wang Guowei, Rong Geng, Guo Lao, Chen Mengjia, etc., almost all important works on epigraphy have recorded this famous vessel!

It is not surprising that such a heavy treasure is sold at a high price.

Therefore, the transaction price is 2.1275 million yuan including commission, which is considered normal.

After all, such a small amount of money was equivalent to 0.6 tons of gold at the time, which is really not expensive.

Even so, it also set a record for the auction of antique works of art in my country at that time.

It's also fortunate that Mr. Du didn't listen to those experts at that time, otherwise he would miss a treasure and bring losses to himself.

Maybe it was because those experts were not good enough, so they lost their eyes.

However, today's antique market is mixed with fish and dragons, so it's better to be careful about everything.

For example, now, Chen Wenzhe is paying extra attention.

Now the real product Xijia plate has appeared, and there is a clear transaction record.

However, his spread is not orderly, because there are gaps in the period.

During the period of the Republic of China, the Xijia plate collected by Mr. Chen must be genuine, because it was circulated in an orderly manner.

Also, the rubbings left over from that period must be authentic, because the authentic ones from that period still exist.

Then how can we determine the authenticity of the later Xijia plate?

Is it the same as rubbings, is it real?

Whether it's the neon or Xiangjiang's Xijia plate, it was determined to be a fake because of mistakes made when the inscriptions inside were faked.

So what if Chen Wenzhe copied it himself?He believes that as long as he wants to imitate, he will definitely be able to imitate the real one.

When the time comes, use unique skills to make it old again, who can recognize it?

Just rely on rubbings?Or use the Xijia plate hidden in China for comparison?

To be honest, there are still many controversies about this bronze plate, such as the name.

This is actually even more controversial. Many people think that the real name of this treasure should be Xi Tianpan.

how to prove?In fact, it is very easy.

Although Chen Wenzhe has not been appraising Xijiapan for a long time now, he has studied all of Xijiapan's past and present lives in just a moment.

After reading it again, he knew the secret of Xijiapan clearly.

So he knows very well that there are articles on the Internet now, which publish the rubbings of the Western Zhou heavy weapon [Xi Tian Pan] originally developed by Mr. Lu Zhai (Chen Jieqi), and they are usually written as [Xi Jia Pan].

Do not comment on the original text, only express opinions on the names of the utensils.

Many people really disagree and don't want to call it Xijiapan, thinking that it needs to be corrected.

Mr. Lu Zhai's handwriting on the rubbings is very clear.

If you have read it, read it carefully, and looked carefully, you will find that it clearly says "Xi Tian" how did it become "Xi Jia"?

On the bottom left of the rubbings, there is a collection stamp with the word "Lu Zhai", indicating that this vessel was collected by Lu Zhai, and the rubbings were made by him.

The ninth category in the existing book "Ru Zhai Zang Gu Mu" records the possession of four Western Zhou bronze wares called "pans".

One is [Xi Tian Pan], which is clearly written.

It is also recorded in the article that this device has been damaged: "foot damage".

This is a record in Lu Zhai's own handwriting, which should be confirmed without a doubt.

Judging from the appearance, there should be no dispute.

Because this Xijia pan is so famous, after all, the story of the 700-year ups and downs of the "big iron pot" in the Western Zhou Dynasty is already familiar to the industry.

Therefore, this bronze ware is also the most legendary "national treasure" and the most expensive pan in history.

It is said that in 1283 A.D., the calligrapher Xian Yushu, who had failed in his official career, settled in Hangzhou.

One day, he was invited to visit the home of his colleague Li Shunyu.

During the dinner, a "pancake" was delicious, and Xian Yushu liked it very much!

Who would have thought that this cake has a lot of background!

It was actually baked with a 3000-year-old Western Zhou "big iron pot"...

Xian Yushu's personality was bold, and after eating delicious pancakes during the banquet, he suddenly had the idea of ​​learning how to make them.

So, he got up and went to Li's kitchen, ready to steal a few tricks...

However, when he saw the iron pan with pancakes on the stove, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart!

Is this... really a flat top pan?Why is there a vague word on the bottom of the pot?

Xian Yushu was a very talented literati and calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty. With just one glance, he could tell that the handwriting on the pan was extraordinary!

This is definitely not some random graffiti. There are hundreds of handwriting on the bottom of the pot, and they are all inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago?

The inscriptions engraved on bronze vessels were also called bronze inscriptions at that time.

It turned out that Li Shunchu also got this thing elsewhere, and it was useless at home for a long time, but the cook took it and knocked off the base abruptly, turning it into a pancake pan for "waste utilization"...

Xian Yushu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He believed that this object was an ancient relic of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he couldn't bear to use it as a cooking utensil, so he bought it with money...

Because the Xijia plate is a treasure, the ancients also agreed with this.

After all, it was collected by the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty before, and there is a chance that people in the Yuan Dynasty would naturally know about it.

Therefore, the story of Xijiapan being "rescued" by the calligrapher Xian Yushu in the kitchen is widely circulated.

Therefore, since the Southern Song Dynasty, there has been a record of a Western Zhou bronze plate in the records of ancient books, which is said to be unearthed from an ancient tomb.

I can't find where the ancient tomb is, but later it was determined that it was Xijia's tomb, and his tombstone with inscriptions was also found.

It is a pity that the whereabouts of this heavy weapon Xijiapan is unknown, but fortunately Mr. Chen Jieqi left us an authentic historical trace.

In "Yu Zhai Zang Gu Mu", the original copy of the inscription on the Xijia plate can be seen very clearly.

Naturally, Chen Wenzhe has also studied it. Even if he is asked to read it carefully now, it must be read as Xitian with a high probability.
