My system is not decent

These days, as the rust has been removed, many exposed inscriptions have been roughly translated by Chen Wenzhe.

Recognizing the words in this inscription was not as difficult as Chen Wenzhe imagined.

This is all thanks to the 5000-year-old civilization of our country, which has been passed down in an orderly manner without a break in generations.

It is because of the orderly inheritance that many things can be used for reference, which makes it easy to decipher the ancient seal script left by the ancients thousands of years ago.

Because it has similarities with many simplified characters today.

Passed down in one continuous line, even if you just look at the font, you can recognize some of them.

The inscription in the museum reads: "Heaven ordered Yu to spread the earth and follow the mountains to dredge the rivers, so he sent the land to set up a levy."

And an inscription inside this piece should be: "Heaven ordered Yu to spread the soil, and to plant trees with the mountains, and to lay high mountains and great rivers."

This is an inscription that Chen Wenzhe can recognize, and there is another paragraph: "Yu don't leave the Kyushu, follow the mountains and rivers, and let the soil be a tribute."

If he had seen these words before going to Chang'an, Chen Wenzhe would have known that this was the recorded story of Dayu's flood control.

But it is different now, he has read Shangshu.

To understand these words, you should also refer to the "Shangshu", because many contents in the Shangshu are very similar to the inscriptions engraved on this bronze vessel.

For example, "Yu Gong" in "Shangshu": "Yu spread the earth, planted trees with the mountains, and laid mountains and rivers."

There are only two words missing in this paragraph, destiny!

This entire inscription can be called a political prose.

Its diction and style have never been seen before in Zhouzhou bronze inscriptions, but it is very close to the existing ancient documents such as "Shangshu".

If it is said that the contents recorded in Shangshu have nothing to do with the bronze inscriptions in Xionggong, who would believe it?

In fact, there are many evidences, such as "Poetry Long Hair": "The flood is shining, and Yu lays down the earthwork."

The words used here are all similar to each other.

In the inscription, the legend of Yu is consistent with "Poetry" and "Book".

There are very few ancient written materials recorded in the past about Yu, only Qin Gonggui mentioned "Yu traces", Shu Yibo, Zhong Shu and Cheng Tang's cutting Xia, "There are Kyushu in Xian, and Yu is blocked (capital)".

As for the deeds of flood control, this is the first discovery.

Qin Gong Gui and others belong to the Spring and Autumn Period, while Xiong Gong Yu is as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, becoming the earliest cultural relic example of the legend of Dayu's water control, which is of great significance for the study of domestic ancient history.

In fact, there is another step in the work "Yu Gong" involved.

"Yu Gong" is a famous ancient Chinese work, which belongs to one chapter of "Shang Shu".

As you know, most modern scholars think that the text "Yu Gong" was written very late, and the "Book Preface" is even more suspicious.

It is now proved that its sentences are the same as the inscription, especially "Suishan Junchuan" is the same as "Book Preface", which is really amazing.

Now Chen Wenzhe suspects that a lot of content in "Yu Gong" should come from the statue in front of him.

Although Chen Wenzhe didn't translate all the inscriptions in this piece of Xuan Gong, the general inscriptions are like this.

Yu did not leave Kyushu, followed the mountains to dredge the rivers, and served the soil as tribute.Heaven ordered Yu to spread the earth, plant trees with the mountains, and lay high mountains and great rivers.

Looking at these sentences, they are almost exactly the same as part of the "Yu Gong" in the Analects of Confucius.

Previously, there were different opinions about the author of "Yu Gong", but Wang Guowei believed in "Ancient History New Evidence" that "Yu Gong" was written by people in the early Zhou Dynasty;

Shi Nianhai, in his article "On the Era of Yugong's Writings", identified the author as a native of Wei according to the names "Nanhe" and "Xihe" in "Yugong";

Gu Jiegang believes that it came from the hands of Qin people during the Warring States period;

In addition, there is also the theory of the end of the Warring States period to the beginning of the Han Dynasty by the Japanese scholar Torajiro Naito.

Although "Gong of Yu" was written under the name Dayu, it is actually a work after the Warring States Period, which should be recognized by now.

It's just that no matter who the author is, the source of the content is worth studying.

Scholars in the past believed that "Yu Gong" was written by Xia Dynasty historians, or even Dayu himself, but it has long been denied by the academic circle.

However, these speculations now appear to be not necessarily wrong.

Even if this book was not written by the historians of the Xia Dynasty, it probably came from some historical materials of the Xia Dynasty.

Those historical materials, looking at them now, are lost.

But what about during the Warring States period?Before getting up earlier?Even after the Warring States period, there may still be rumors!

No one knows these, and no one knows when these historical materials are dated.

Chen Wenzhe only has such a little ability, so he can deduce these results.

After all, he does not study history, at most he knows some history of the art world.

Therefore, if this thing wants to play a role, inspire the spirit of the Chinese people, and refute the negation of the Chinese ancestors by some ignorant people at home and abroad, it still needs the Academy of Fine Arts to come forward.

Of course, even the history department of the Grand Academy of Fine Arts may not be able to do it, and they may not be able to support this kind of research.

In the end, it will definitely become a grand event in the entire big city, and even in the domestic cultural circle.

You must know that the Xun Gong that was discovered before has already held three international seminars.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and we have to wait until after the Chinese New Year to talk about anything.

Chen Wenzhe, who had nothing to do that day, came to the copperware factory again.

Because he also made some clay models while repairing the public cymbals, and today is just the time to produce the finished products.

This time, the bronze wares he made were not only bronze bells, but also percussion instruments such as bronze drums and bronze chimes.

He even made a batch of singing bowls.

These things can be sold for money as long as his name is left.

Therefore, since we have done it, we should make more, and we can also add some Yi Nian Tang products.

Of course, what he values ​​most is the evening drum and the morning bell, and there are two sets of bells and drums.

He kept a set, and one of the Jingyun Bells will be sent to the Gold Medal Auction House for auction. As for the other bronze drum, it will naturally be sold to the Management Committee of the Chenghuang Temple Scenic Area.

After doing these things, Chen Wenzhe doesn't plan to do these things again in the future.

Therefore, this time he asked for a more ruthless price.

Of course, even last time, the asking price was not cheap. The Jingyun bell bought by the Chenghuang Temple Management Committee was priced at 200 million, which was slightly cheaper than the eighteen Arhat statues.

Even so, the Management Committee of the Town God's Temple was still very happy.

For the last bronze drum, their bid was not low, and after negotiation, they finally paid 500 million.

To imitate an ordinary bronze drum, even if it is the successor of Yueyu bronze wares, it would cost at most two to three million yuan.

There must be a reason for giving Chen Wenzhe such great preferential treatment.

One is the head start, they need the sensation of eating the first bite.

The other one is to hope that Chen Wenzhe will stop selling bells and drums to takeaways recently.

There is no requirement not to sell it in the future, that is, to stop selling high imitation Jingyun clocks outside the year before, or in the next six months.

This was originally planned by Chen Wenzhe, so he did not refuse.
