Chapter 45
Fang Que stopped in front of a bronze ware. This bronze gua combines roughness and exquisiteness. It is said that it is rough because the shape of the instrument is large and wide on the shoulders, the edge of the mouth is turned outward, like a thick lips, and it is said that it is exquisite because its workmanship is too meticulous and incredible.
"I chose this one, the ancient Shang Dynasty bronze three sheep lord."
"What?! Ancient Shang Dynasty?!" Bai Feiyun, who was originally worried, saw Fang Que's bronze ware that he chose this, suddenly his eyes lit up and he laughed:
"Haha! Young Master Fang, what you chose is this? The bronze ware from the ancient Shang Dynasty? How is this possible?! Such exquisite workmanship can be cast in ancient Shang Dynasty?! This looks like an indescribable post-production tool, it is a fake!"
"Fake?" Everyone present was surprised when Bai Feiyun insisted that Fang Que had selected the ancient Shang Dynasty bronze three sheeps, and they were all a little surprised.
Because the five people can only compete with the value of the selected ancient relics and do not consider the authenticity of the falsehood. The ancient relics that can be collected by Yun Yuhuai in the inner room have all passed by the master's hand. How could a fake appear?
Moreover, the bronze three sheep master was brought by Bai Yihong from the museum himself. Is Bai Feiyun's words questioning his grandfather, and also questioning a master of ancient cultural relics identification?
But when they looked at the Three Bronze Sheep Lords, they were all a little stunned. When they carefully observed the Three Bronze Sheep Lords, they really agreed with Bai Feiyun's words, because the Three Bronze Sheep Lords were so exquisite.
Yun Yuhuai and others have studied ancient relics very deeply, so you can see at a glance that these three sheep priests were cast in separate bodies. First, a hole was reserved on the body of the vessel, and then the other cast sheep head was placed on it.
The sheep's head is exquisite and unique, with a clear pattern, and alternates with eye-shaped patterns, which is shocking.
More importantly, there are quite a lot of patterns on the Sanyang Zun, such as the abdomen with a back pattern as the base, and there are three groups of animal face patterns mixed in staggered.
For example, on the upper part of the ring foot, there are two exquisite convex string patterns, and the lower part is arranged to be spaced between the back patterns and six groups of animal face patterns.
Overall, these three sheeps are densely packed with exquisite patterns, and their aesthetic attainments are shocking.
Full of doubts, they turned to look at Bai Yihong. After all, the bronze three sheep lords were brought by Bai Yihong.
After Fang Que selected these three sheep lords, Bai Yihong fell into deep thought. This bronze three sheep lord was the most peculiar one among the cultural relics he brought, because the ancient cultural relics world mixed praises and criticized the bronze three sheep lords, and they were at two extremes.
On the one hand, archaeological experts believe that this object is a fake and created by modern craftsmanship.
Because such gorgeous and exquisite casting was not something that could be achieved in the ancient Shang Dynasty, and this is an ancient cultural relic collected, which means that it has no basis for inheritance.
Experts have consulted a large number of bronze ware appreciation books in ancient times, but none of them have introduced this utensil.
On the other hand, some masters who knew about secrets from ancient dynasties believed that this was a genuine product and had a huge value, and could even be comparable to the Four Sheep Fangzun.
The Four Sheep Fangzun is an antique among antiques, a priceless treasure, and is famous throughout the entire China Alliance. Everyone knows it.
Similarly, the Four Sheep Square Zun also came from the ancient Shang Dynasty and was characterized as bronze ritual vessels and sacrificial items from the late Shang Dynasty.
Each side of the Four Sheep Square Zun is 52.4 cm long, 58.3 cm high, 34.5 kg weight, long neck, high ring foot, tall neck, and banana leaf pattern, triangular Kui pattern and animal face pattern on all sides.
The center of the priest is the center of gravity of the utensil. Each of the four corners of the priest is shaped by a sheep. The four corners of the shoulder are four sheep heads with curly horns. The sheep head and the sheep neck extend outside the utensil. The sheep body and sheep legs are attached to the utensil’s abdomen and ring feet.
At the same time, the Fang Zun's shoulders are decorated with high reliefs of snake body and clawed dragon patterns. The four sides of the Zun are located adjacent to the two sheep, with a pair of ceratops heads each poking out the instrument, and winding from each side of the Fang Zun's right shoulder in the middle of the front.
The Siyang Fangzun is cast using two-time casting technology, that is, the sheep horns and the faucet are cast individually, and then they are placed in the outer scale separately, and then cast them as a whole, which is similar to the Sanyang Zun.
The entire artifact was cast using the block model method, and it was completed in one go, making it awesome and craftsmanship.
Such a superb casting level, coupled with his secret understanding of ancient dynasties, made Bai Yihong know that the ancient Shang Dynasty had absolutely the ability and technology to cast the Three Bronze Sheep Lords.
In the ancient cultural relics world, Bai Yihong is more inclined to be a genuine product, and his value is very likely to be comparable to that of the Four Sheep Fangzun.
But at this time, when everyone looked at him and wanted to know his answer, Bai Yihong was shaken about his position in his heart.
He could not let his grandson lose, nor could he let Fang Que win. Therefore, for the first time he went against his true intentions in the identification of ancient cultural relics.
"These three sheeps are fakes. It was impossible for the ancient Shang Dynasty to have such skills. Moreover, these three sheeps are ancient cultural relics collected and have no basis for inheritance. Such ancient cultural relics have never been unearthed before.
There has never been a saying in the historical facts of bronze ware that the Three Sheeps of Bronzes have been said to be a...fake in the ancient cultural relics world.”
At the end, Bai Yihong's voice paused significantly, and the hesitation color was fleeting, but in the end, he still spoke out the word "fake".
"well!
Grandpa Bai, why do you say that people are alive?
Although matter is the most fundamental, for some people, it is the most vulgar.
Materiality is never a pursuit of living, so what do these people pursue? It is nothing more than a persistence, nothing more than the dream and ideal we often call it!
It is to do our best in what we want to do and persist in this for the rest of our lives.
But one day, even this persistence is lost, the thing I pursue hard will no longer exist. Perhaps, that thing has never existed, or it is a shameful betrayal of my own."
Fang Que said some inconspicuous words, but when it fell into Bai Yihong's ears, it was like thunder, deafening.
Bai Yihong's face turned pale, and his calm body trembled: "What do you mean by saying these words? I'm just telling the truth. These three sheeps are fakes and are recognized by the entire ancient cultural relics world."
"Oh! Sure enough, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep." Fang Que sighed again, and a little loneliness appeared in his eyes.
Bai Yihong's identification level is undoubtedly top-notch in the entire China Alliance, and he gave up countless things for his so-called ideals and dreams, and these countless things are the material things Fang Que mentioned.
This portion of material is extremely huge, because what Bai Yihong gave up was the position of the head of the Bai family.
The Bai family, one of the four major families in the Imperial Continent, is such a terrible existence. Even in the entire China Alliance, it can be called a top family.
But Bai Yihong gave up such a huge family and such wealth and power just for his ideals and dreams.
But at this time, Bai Yihong, who made so many sacrifices and insisted on his ideals, betrayed his original intention because of his bet...
Fang Que shook his head, and his temperament suddenly changed, like a sword that was exposed, showing its sharpness and biting cold...
