Chapter 77 Strange Bronze Staff Head

"It is obvious that I can't do without knowledge in antiques, so I chose to continue my studies. Although I am nineteen years old, I can't do anything about it. I haven't even finished junior high school, so I can only study in my third year of high school."

Hao Huai told Tang Feier that he had gone to Tianya Auction Company and became a student in the third year of high school. Of course, his purpose was not to go to school, but what he said was very reasonable, which made Xing Meiqi and Tang Feier think that he was a very ambitious big boy.

"The appraiser of Tianya Auction Company?"

Tang Feier was really happy for Hao Huai, and kissed him in the face with a little exaggerated expression, and then said, "Hao Huai, you are so awesome, we two will celebrate tonight."

After seeing the intimate actions of the two, Xing Meiqi's face turned ugly. She couldn't help but pull Hao Huai to her and said, "We have made an appointment to go to the movie tonight."

"Hey, you'd better figure it out. I'm Hao Huai's girlfriend." Although Tang Fei'er tried her best to keep herself from being too excited, she finally broke out after seeing Xing Meiqi's actions.

"What's wrong with your girlfriend? You can do it, can't I do it?" Xing Meiqi obviously thinks she is not that worse than Tang Feier.

For a moment, Hao Huai stood between the two and accepted the pull of these two women. He was naturally mixed with joy and sorrow. He really didn't know that he was also a hot item among beauties.

Tang Fei'er seemed to have been a little anxious by Xing Meiqi. This was the first time she saw her acting less shy, and she might even be even more excited because of Xing Meiqi's aggressive push.

"Okay, stop pulling me, your clothes are torn to pieces."

Tang Feier first let go of Hao Huai's clothes and took the initiative to check the tear-opened clothes. She did not vent her inner anxiety on Hao Huai because she knew that this would only make the man she liked farther away from her and allow the woman with ulterior motives to succeed.

After seeing Tang Fei'er let go of Hao Huai, Xing Meiqi also put down her hand. She didn't know why she suddenly showed such a strong aggressiveness just now. This was absolutely different from her previous style, and she began to wonder if she really fell in love with someone else's boyfriend.

"Sorry, I was a little rude just now. I just wanted to watch a movie with Hao Huai, and I had no other intention."

Xing Meiqi felt her situation just now. Although she was one year younger than Hao Huai and the other, she always thought that she was reserved and would never be infatuated with that man and was conquered by her, so she had to find a way to hide her true heart.

"It's okay, it's just watching a movie. I was not very polite just now."

After seeing Xing Meiqi apologize, Tang Feier immediately showed her generous attitude with courtesy and asked Xing Meiqi to do it and hand him a bottle of iced mineral water.

"Women? You really can't guess what they are thinking?"

Although Hao Huai was extremely smart, he had limited contact with women before. Facing this, the two of them competed against each other and respected each other for a while, and could not figure out what the situation was. They could only sigh at the complexity of women.

In fact, when the three of them were making noise, there was a man in his thirties standing in front of the street stall. However, when he saw the three of them, he did not rush to speak, but looked lively and knew that they had calmed down.

"Young man, are you collecting things here right?"

The man's words attracted the attention of Hao Huai and the other two. The three of them couldn't help but look forward and saw a man in his thirties with a pockmarked face standing in front of the street stall. However, he was at his age, he was leaning on a bronze "crawler" in his hand, which made Hao Huai a little curious.

"What do you want to do? Is it ancient coins, jade artifacts, or calligraphy and paintings."

Hao Huai obviously felt that although the man in front of him had a smile on his face, his smile seemed to be a little wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"You are a collector of antiques, so you don't know only these things, right?" After the man said that, a hint of badness appeared on his smile, which made Hao Huai's heart immediately alert.

"If you have something to do, take it out, and if there is no, please go away." Hao Huai felt that the man's tone was a little short, so he simply issued an order to expel the guest.

"Of course I have something to see, please take a look." After the man said that, he raised the crutch in his hand and placed it in front of Hao Huai.

"Crutches are also cultural relics?"

Hao Huai was puzzled and thought that the man was coming to find fault on purpose, but he accidentally saw that the head of the crutch seemed very special. It was the shape of a bird, the size was just right for people to hold it in his hand. Moreover, the green copper rust on the outside looked very similar to the bronze material.

Although Hao Huai didn't know how to appreciate bronze ware for the time being, he also knew bronze ware, and he did not give up studying, who was committed to the antique business.

It is understood that Hao Huai knows that from an archaeological perspective, Chinese bronzes specifically refer to bronze objects from the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn Period. These objects are mainly made of copper and are cast with a small amount of tin and lead. The colors of the objects are blue-gray and are named after them.

The main types are tools, weapons, cookers, food utensils, wine utensils, water utensils, chariots, etc. The shapes are diverse, the patterns are exquisite, and the inscriptions are treasures of calligraphy art.

The bronze utensils from the Shang Dynasty and the early Western Zhou Dynasty were dignified and thick, fine and gorgeous, and the patterns were mostly Taotie patterns, Kuilong patterns, animal patterns and geometric patterns. The inscriptions were vigorous and simple, and the number of words was generally small.

From the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the style tended to be simple, the shapes were casual, and the patterns were mostly geometric patterns with fine lines, but the long inscriptions increased compared to before. This may be because of the development of the text. From the late Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, in addition to animal patterns and geometric patterns, the seven-patterned ornaments also used thin lines to carve patterns for hunting, war and banquets.

The invention of bronze ware was an epoch-making creation. The three historical periods of my country's Shang, Western Zhou, and Spring and Autumn Period belonged to the Bronze Age. It is unknown when Chinese bronze ware first appeared. Later archaeologists could only overturn their previous judgments again and again through archaeological discoveries.

There is a story called "Chiyou's military service" that has become a story about the strange fate of bronze ware. Of course, this is just a legend. According to legend, Chiyou led his troops to attack the Huangdi tribe, and the two sides "fighted in the wilderness of Zhuolu". At the beginning of the battle, Chiyou's army won victory step by step, and the soldiers of Xuanyuan Huangdi who were killed were defeated again and again.

Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi naturally didn't understand what was going on, so he sent a "spy" to sneak into Chiyou's tribe.

Huangdi was eager to find the reason, but the spy had not returned yet. Fortunately, the emperor looked forward to the spy and learned the real reason from his mouth...

It turned out that Chiyou was probably made of copper because the soldiers of their troops had five types of weapons, including spear, halberd, spear, and spear. Later, Huangdi made a compass chariot for war, which turned the situation around and subdued Chiyou.

To celebrate the victory, Huangdi did not send anyone to Shoushan to mine copper ore, and then transported the copper ore to the foot of Jingshan to cast a tripod as a commemoration of the victory of the war.

"What kind of object is this? Ring, please give me some tips!"

Hao Huai saw that if the entire crutch was considered an antique, it would definitely be the bronze object on the hand of the stick. Regardless of whether it is true or false, but at least he still wanted to get a reminder from the ring to tell what the name the thing was, so as not to show shame in front of this man with a bad visitor, let alone two beauties around him.

Hao Huai was waiting for the tip of the ring, but he put the cane in his hand for a long time. No matter how he stopped to comfort the head of the cane, the ring did not react at all.

"Boss, after watching it for so long, you won't even be able to see what kind of object it is, right?"
