My system is not decent

Why do some people think it's Xitian Pan?Because judging from the rubbings, the vertical line under the character A is very small.

Here is the problem, as long as the vertical line of Tian Zi is in the beginning, it is Jia.

So some people think that it's not Tian, ​​otherwise how could that stand out?

And as long as it is in the beginning, no matter how short it is, it should be read as Jia.

In Chen Wenzhe's view, the name is not important, what is important is the content recorded in the inscription.

What's more, the history in any writing needs to be corroborated by each other.

Here, you can't just refer to the inscription on the Xijia plate, but also need to refer to others.

For example, the inscription on the tombstone of Xijia, and the white plate of Guo Jizi from the same era who also fought in this Xijia plate.

There is also an inscription on this plate: "At the beginning of the king, each of the kings defeated Yu Yu, and Xi Jia followed the king."

For the same historical event, there are two bronze wares recorded at the same time, which proves that it should be Xijia, not Xitian.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe still thinks that it should be read as Xijiapan, after all, all Tian characters are known, and when it sticks out, it should be read as Jia.

This point is the same as that of countless domestic archaeologists and scholars.

Now that Chen Wenzhe has his own opinion on the name, so what's the problem with the identification of the inscription?

"Wen Zhe, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Chen Wenzhe had been wandering around the plate for half an hour, Zheng Yu and the others were all very surprised.

"This is Xijiapan!" Chen Wenzhe exclaimed.

"We know, it's like Xijiapan." Zheng Yu said immediately.

"No, you said this is a Xijia plate, not a fake?" Cao Qingchun was the quickest to respond.

Zhang Yijie was also surprised at this time, obviously, he also reacted.

"Impossible? The real thing was auctioned off and sold for more than 2 million yuan. It's impossible that it's fake, right?"

Chen Wenzhe nodded and said: "That one is not fake, this one is an imitation, but it is not a modern imitation, but an imitation from the Song Dynasty more than 800 years ago, and an imitation from the court of the Southern Song Dynasty."

If it wasn't for looking back at the history of this Xijia plate, Chen Wenzhe really wouldn't be able to accurately date it.

However, he still feels very sorry, this is a counterfeit product after all, not the real one.

I don't know where this thing was found, but it was actually treated as a fake and flowed into his museum.

"It's still a fake!" Zhang Yijie was a little disappointed.

"The works of the Southern Song Dynasty 800 years ago are also very good!" Cao Qingchun laughed.

"You got it here?" Chen Wenzhe asked in surprise.

Cao Qingchun said with a smile: "This is a gift from me, the big plate is from Zheng Yu, and Lao Zhang sent a picture, a copy of the picture of five bulls."

"You guys are so serious, you actually gave me treasures!" Chen Wenzhe laughed.

Leaving aside the value of the items, at least these brothers have put their heart into it.

"It's a pity that it's a fake. It would be great if it was the real thing." Cao Qingchun still felt very sorry.

"The imitation is also very good!" Chen Wenzhe shook his head.

How precious is the Xijia plate?First of all, it is a bronze ware, a heavy and ritual vessel in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and has been designated as a Chinese national treasure.

The second is that it carries a period of history during the period of King Xuan of Zhou, which is the most important point.

In the end, it can be proved that its owner, Xijiajifu, has a lot of background.

Yin Jifu is the chief editor of "The Book of Songs", therefore, Yin Jifu is also known as the "poem ancestor".

It is worth mentioning that Yin Jifu is also the common ancestor of Yin and Ji.

During the period of King You of Zhou Dynasty, King You appointed treacherous men and acted perversely.

Yin Jifu refused to listen to his advice many times, returned home angrily, and finally died in depression.

In addition to these historical values, the Xijia plate is exquisite in shape and special in color.

As we all know, when bronzes are unearthed, they usually have a lot of green patina attached.

However, the color of the Xijia plate is black and bright.

After nearly 3000 years, the Xijia plate has almost no rust, and it is still as bright as ever.

Its shape is like a big plate.

Xijia plate, round, with ears, the outer edge of the plate is extravagant, the inner bottom is flattened, the lower edge of the plate is decorated with stealing curves, the leather shell is black and bright, the state of handing down is obvious, the ring foot is missing, and the inner bottom has an inscription of 133 characters.

And this imitation Xijia plate, because it was imitated by the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, the craftsmanship has reached the peak.

Although Chen Wenzhe had never seen the real Xijia pan, he thought that the appearance of that Xijia pan would definitely not be better than this one.

This is something that can't be helped, because in the Song Dynasty, the bronze smelting technology must have reached its peak.

Especially for the bronzes made by the lost wax method, it has been improved to a higher level.

Bronze ware was made in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty, bronze ware had fallen out of favor, after all, porcelain began to rise.

However, the smelting technology of court bronzes in that period was still at the pinnacle level.

For example, the use of the lost wax method, because the utensils cast by the lost wax method can be exquisitely carved and have a hollow effect.

The principle of my country's lost wax casting technology originated from the incineration method, which was first seen in the middle and late Shang Dynasty. This technology gradually disappeared after the appearance of the non-model line lost wax method.

The bronze statues and plates unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in Sui County, Beihu, are the earliest known lost-wax castings in my country, dated to the fifth century BC.

In 1975, a bronze knife was unearthed at the Linjia Majiayao Cultural Site (about 3000 BC) in Dongxiang, Gansu Province.

This is the earliest bronze ware found in our country so far, and it is the proof that our country has entered the Bronze Age.

Compared with West Asia, South Asia and North Africa, which entered the Bronze Age about 6500 years ago, my country's Bronze Age came later.

However, it cannot be denied that it originated independently, because there was an era in which bronze tools and stone tools were used together in our country, and the age was about 5500-4500 years ago.

my country invented bronze alloys on this basis, which is different from the development model of bronze wares in the world, so it can be ruled out that my country's bronze wares came from abroad.

In March 2015, when Zk City in Nanhe Province cooperated with an infrastructure construction site in Xiangcheng to carry out cultural relics exploration, a group of tombs from the Warring States Period to the Eastern Han Dynasty was discovered.

This time, a batch of exquisite funerary objects were unearthed from it, and a bronze sword among them was well preserved and very rare.

All this shows that my country's bronze smelting technology is very powerful.

But in the Song Dynasty, it goes without saying.

As long as the royal family wants something, where can it be bad?

Therefore, this is an imitation Xijia plate from the Southern Song Dynasty, which is also very precious.

Because it must be based on the real product, a one-to-one perfect imitation.

Therefore, the exquisiteness of this plate is no worse than the real one.

As for other inscriptions and so on, this Xijia plate must be perfectly presented.

This is why Chen Wenzhe couldn't see that it was a fake for a while.

After all, it has been copied for more than 800 years, even if it is a fake, it is a real antique.

As for the original Xijia plate, its current whereabouts are unknown, but it should be in the hands of a private collector in our country.
