After carefully provoking a piece of rust, the inscriptions that were already exposed were exposed a little more.

Although the inscriptions were severely corroded, they could still be seen, especially the first two words, which were "Mandate of Heaven"!

Even if it is Zhong Dingwen, the word "destiny" is not much different from modern characters.

Instead, it's the third word, that Yu, if you don't know it, you really can't recognize it.

But Chen Wenzhe knew it, because he had seen the internal inscription of a national treasure, and there was a sentence in it, which was: Heaven ordered Yu to apply soil.

"It's still a little wrong. I remember the inscription on that treasure. The first sentence is this sentence, but this one is not at the beginning, but in the middle."

After thinking about it, Chen Wenzhe slapped his head, how could it be possible to cast two identical bronzes?

Especially this kind of bronze wares used to commemorate major events, not to mention the inscriptions, even the shapes of the bronze wares are different.

So, don't look at this sentence, it is the same as the inscription on a bronze vessel he knows, but the content recorded on this bronze vessel should be different.

It's just that the shape of this bronze ware should be the same as the one he knew, but the decoration is a little bit strange. Obviously, the casting is just, and the clay mold made must be different.

Of course, these two bronzes may have been cast at the same time, but the contents of the inscriptions are all different.

"What are you muttering about? What destiny? Is this a good thing?"

Li Jinli came closer, but no matter how much he looked, he couldn't see anything.

However, he still knew that this was a good thing, because he also saw the inscription on the bronze vessel.

I always like to identify, and I have learned a lot in the past year, so, how can Li Jinli not be clear about some common sense that should be known?

"Is there really an inscription on this thing? Could it be the fate of Yu to apply the soil? The story of Dayu's flood control?"

"Huh? You know that too?" Chen Wenzhe raised his head and looked at Li Jinli in surprise.

Li Jinli rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know who has been in the National Treasure Archives."

Chen Wenzhe laughed, this is considered a friend, if he meets someone who doesn't know anything, he is not interested in discussing it.

This is really a national treasure, the one he mentioned earlier, which is worth a hundred times because of the inscription.

In other words, in 2002, a Hong Kong businessman accidentally found a bronze lunch box in the antique market.

The lunch box is simple and exquisite, its surface is seriously corroded, and the inside of the container is covered with rust, and the few characters exposed are jerky and difficult to understand.

It may seem plain, but the engraved seal characters in the bronze ware seem to have a lot of background.

After some bargaining, the businessman bought the bronze lunch box at a high price of 200 million.

Here comes the important point, not to mention the inscription, even the first bronze lunch box is worth more than 200 million.

Therefore, 150 million yuan bought a bronze dinner plate from the Three Kingdoms period, and also included three bronze dove carts with great collection value. Finally, a relatively complete national treasure came.

That treasure is famous, naturally it is in the program of the National Treasure Archives.

That national treasure is Xian (Xian) gong (xu), and just because of the rust color on the object at that time, many experts could tell at a glance that the bronze ware was genuine.

The 盨 was originally a ritual vessel used to hold millet, millet, rice, and beams. It evolved from the gui and became popular since the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty. It has a history of more than 3000 years.

Because the inscription on this bronze ware has the word "Xian Gong", it is named "Xian Gong".

Chen Wenzhe had read the national treasure archives, and also noted down the shape and internal inscription of the artifact.

At this time, looking at the things in my hand, it is almost exactly the same as the restored and rusted Xiong Gong on TV.

Of course, this is the result of Chen Wenzhe's imagination.

After all, the shape of the thing in front of him has changed a bit, it has been squashed a bit, and it is a bit distorted.

However, the overall shape can still be seen.

It is a rectangle with rounded corners as a whole, and it has a cover, which is the thing in the more deformed eyes. He brought it back with the cover.

If you look carefully, you can also find bird patterns on the lower edge of the mouth, tile patterns on the belly, animal heads on the small ears, hanging rings, and the ring feet are well preserved.

Compared with the previously discovered piece of Xiong Gong, this one has almost no defects except for a little deformation and distortion.

However, the previous one has no cover, and the ring in the ear of the utensil is also missing, and there is a peach-shaped gap in the middle of the ring foot.

This shape is earlier in the sequence of 盨.

Looking at the characteristics of the bird pattern, it can be determined that this piece belongs to the late middle period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, before and after King Xiao of Zhou and King Yi.

For the one in front of him, although all the inscriptions are covered by a thick layer of green rust, Chen Wenzhe can be sure that it is seal characters just by seeing the few words in front of him.

It belongs to a kind of very ancient gold inscriptions, and the writing is very standardized.

Regarding the inscription on the inside of this piece, Chen Wenzhe will definitely not be able to recognize what it is recorded in.

But it's good to recognize a few.

This time it was a coincidence that the exposed inscriptions happened to be known to Chen Wenzhe, such as destiny, these two engraved characters are really easy to recognize.

Of course, even if he didn't recognize these two words, Chen Wenzhe wouldn't miss this thing, because as long as he saw the inscription, he would know that it was a precious thing, so how could he miss it?

A good memory is not as good as a good mobile phone. Chen Wenzhe searched directly and found the national treasure in the Poly Museum.

It was at this time that Li Jinli knew what was in front of him?

"Are these two the same?"

"The shape is similar, the casting date is unclear, and the inscription must be different, but it should all be related to Dayu's water control!"

"Tianming Yu applied soil?" Li Jinli asked in surprise.

"Yes, this one looks about the same size as the one in the picture."

This thing is about ten centimeters high, with a diameter of 24 centimeters and a weight of two to three kilograms. It is oval and has a straight mouth.

Therefore, if there are inscriptions in the internal inscriptions, they can be seen clearly.

For this piece in the museum, the internal rust has been cleaned up, and the inscription is very clear.

Almost all of the bottom is covered by inscriptions. There are 98 ancient inscriptions inside, which completely record the historical events of Dayu's flood control and opening up of Kyushu.

The entire inscription can be regarded as a prose of political nature. Its diction and style have never been seen in Zhou Zhou bronze inscriptions, but it is very close to the existing ancient documents such as "Shangshu".

This is of great value for exploring the origin of ancient Chinese books and articles.

Therefore, this inscription is praised by scholars as "the best inscriptions in two weeks".

Of course, the academic value is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the historical value, he can prove that Dayu really existed.

For a long time, there have been disputes in the academic circles about whether Dayu and the Xia Dynasty existed.
