Chapter 555 Treasure Appraisal Conference

"In fact, if we want to talk about the beginning of scientific archaeology in our southwest region," it is the jade and stone tools discovered in Sanxingdui.

"Director Jiang seemed a little disappointed: "What's wrong? No one is interested in the jade congs with shallow patterns, the jade bis on the surface, and the jade congs with blue and white in our museum?"

"Oh, that must be from Sanxingdui, right?"

"Huh? You know Sanxingdui, too?"

"Huh? Didn't Sanxingdui be discovered in 1929? It's not surprising that I know?"

"Uh... it's true. Although Sanxingdui has not been widely recognized yet, as long as you are interested, you should know it." Director Jiang recognized Zhou Zhi's statement.

Today, Sanxingdui has not dug those two sacrificial pits, but as early as 1929, villagers in Sanxing Village in Guanghan accidentally discovered more than 400 jade pieces while clearing the scrubbing ditch. Since then, Sanxingdui has caused noise among antique dealers in Chengdu.

Director Jiang said: "At that time, some antique dealers began to make fakes for sale in order to make money, which made the 'Guanghan Jade' mixed with fish and dragons, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false."

"In 1934, at the invitation of Luo Yucang, the county magistrate of Guanghan County, led by Ge Weihan, a professor of American anthropology and archaeology who was then the director of the museum, went to Guanghan for excavation, thus opening the prelude to the Sanxingdui archaeological excavation. According to research, this is the earliest scientific archaeological excavation in the southwest region."

"But because the 'the neighboring bandits were very popular' at that time, the archaeological excavation ended in just ten days. However, the results were still gratifying. A total of more than 600 jade, stone and pottery were excavated. Luo Yucang generously gave them to the West China Union Antiquities Museum."

"Guanghan is almost all plain, and the terrain is very different from our Jiachuan River. How come it will be 'very fierce'?"

Director Jiang was happy: "Don't compare the bandits in your place. Those bandits in your place were able to capture the township in the past. Then why are they still bandits? They are already bandits!"

The director of the History Department also had a deep skill in writing. Zhou Zhi also smiled and nodded, explaining to Jiang Shuyi and Brother Yi: "The word "Fei" was still a complimentary word in ancient times. It was a bamboo container specially used to hold jade and coins. Therefore, the purpose of "Fei" was very clear, which was money."

"But Kou is different. Bao Gaitou means the house. Yuan was originally an arrogant human form, while Ji was the weapon he held. The word "This word means a person holding a weapon to invade the house to attack the robbery. Therefore, Kou is more powerful than the bandits!"

"Boy is also amazing!" Director Jiang smiled and said, "I can memorize "Shuowen Jiezi" well. Is the Gu family's method?"

"There is this method in the Dharma, but before we can pass it on, he did it first." Gu Zhenduo was very satisfied with the writing skills displayed by this little disciple in his family, which shows that although Zhou Zhi had done a lot of things in the past year, he still did not lose the basic skills that his sect should have.

...

...

"Young man, take a look! This is passed down from my ancestors, Chenghua sweet white egg shell glaze!" An old man stood in front of Zhou Zhi, and there was a table covered with velvet tablecloth between them. There was a white porcelain bowl on it.

There was a long line behind the old man, each of whom was excited, curious and nervous, holding all kinds of "good things" in his arms.

That’s right, this is the prelude to the “Citizen Auction” of People’s Park once a week – “Citizen Treasure Appraisal Conference”.

Because Zhou Zhi's level has reached, he grabbed the bag for the financial manager and threw it here to become an appraisal teacher.

"Uncle, what you said is too big." Zhou Zhi didn't know where to complain: "Your porcelain has been for at most fifty years. It is a imitation of foreign exchange produced by JDZ Porcelain Factory. Moreover, the imitation is not Chenghua sweet white. The glaze color is white but not greasy. It is shining with blue light. It can barely be said to be a sweet white glaze porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, and it is not close to real ancient porcelain."

"How come you young man doesn't know how to respect the elderly?! You are so bad at your level, you dare to talk nonsense here?!" The old man suddenly stopped obeying: "Who is your teacher?! You are the one who is in charge of him? How can you serve the people so irresponsible? Call him out!"

Zhou Zhi did not have any signs next to this school’s appraisal teacher. The main reason was that he was too young. He said that the grandson of the old man in front of him was reasonable, and he was indeed not an "old expert" with a famous brand.

"Don't worry, uncle, I don't mean to offend you, let alone how high your level is. However, the porcelain of your old man is indeed too obvious. There is no need to think too much about the porcelain factory workers in the 1950s."

"You! I don't want to listen to you anymore. Let me have another teacher to identify you!"

"Then please take your stuff and go to queue on both sides. Teachers Zhang and Teacher Xu are also of high level, so they can show you." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be happy: "I've been sitting here all the time, and you didn't think about it before you line up?"

The old man was so interesting. I guess he was feeling guilty about his "baby". When he saw the young man, he thought it was easy to fool him. As long as he came up and pressed him to say something nice, his value for porcelain would increase. At that time, he would dare to say that it was identified by an expert.

But I knew that this young man ignored his trick at all.

"That won't work! Then I'm so long in line for free?! You must give me an explanation today!"

"I have already given you an explanation. My appraisal opinion is produced by JDZ porcelain factory in the 1950s, imitating Qianlong sweet white glaze thin body bowl."

"You said yes?!" The old man was completely angry: "You just say whatever you know?! I also said it was Chenghua sweet white egg shell glaze bowl!"

Seeing that the conflict was about to begin, everyone around him gathered their eyes, and some people who watched the fun were not too serious and started to make excuses.

After all, most people come here to participate in the appraisal, and the results they get may not be too good. They are a little unhappy. If the old expert is tolerant, they will endure it, but a little kid said that this is a fake and imitation new product. If it were anyone, such unhappiness would double.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Mr. Sun turned around and asked when he saw something happening here.

"It was this old man who was not satisfied with my appraisal results and he did not trust me very much."

"If you don't trust me, please change the place to appraise. We are originally responsible for appraisal and do not charge everyone's fees. Moreover, we are only responsible for appraisal, not responsible for those who are satisfied with the results." Old Sun stood up with his eyebrows: "What's the point of making noise?"

"No... Mr. Sun, the identification of this child is too unreliable. I said that my ancestral artifact was made after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This... is too far apart!"

"Oh? Since you said it was inherited from the ancestral world, you should have studied it yourself?" asked Mr. Sun.

"That's natural." The old man was a little proud.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what your reason is."
