Chapter 149: The Legendary Ancient Spring (1)

Who has never heard of the special treasure among the fifty treasures of ancient springs?

This thing is an ancient spring that is even more rare than Daxia Zhenxing just now!

Old Liu trembledly picked up the ancient spring covered with green copper rust, and repeatedly fumbled it several times, without even measuring the diameter and weighing the weight. He said in a crying voice: "This, this, this is indeed a straight-forward real Daqi Tongbao! I am lucky enough to see the real Daqi Tongbao with my own eyes. This, this is really..."

The people who rushed into Mr. Liu's office looked at Mr. Liu so excited that they couldn't even speak, and they all looked at each other.

Chai Yi certainly understood why his old friend was so excited. He patted Mr. Liu on the shoulder and said, "Old Liu, don't be excited, don't let the juniors see your joke."

Old Liu shook his head slightly, took a deep breath, raised the big Qi Tongbao with his hand wearing gloves, put it down in front of him, and then said, "You can't be excited. This is a legend in the ancient spring world of our country. There are thousands of people who like ancient springs in the world, but those who can really see the big Qi Tongbao with their own eyes can count it with two slaps. Seeing this legendary ancient spring really requires great luck and opportunity! I, Old Liu, have been dressing up ancient bronzes for the rest of my life. Today, God finally let me see it!"

In order to distract Mr. Liu, Yang Jing took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Liu, tell me about this big Qi Tongbao."

This method is indeed in charge. After Yang Jing said this, Old Liu's expression gradually calmed down, and then said to the apprentices who rushed in: "You see, I didn't measure the diameter today, nor weigh the weight, and didn't look at this ancient spring carefully, and then I made a conclusion that this ancient spring is the authentic one. Do you know why?"

All of Mr. Liu's disciples shook their heads.

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "This is a feeling! When we do cultural heritage protection and appraisal work, our skills are very important, but sometimes we cannot ignore the feeling that comes suddenly. Yes, as your teacher, I use this illusory feeling to talk about things. You may feel that it is a bit unreliable, but what I want to tell you is that when you have been immersed in an industry for a lifetime and explored in an industry for a lifetime, you will find that sometimes the sudden feeling is actually more responsible than any skills and experience."

"Although I didn't carefully identify this big Qi Tongbao, when I touched this ancient spring, I told me in my heart that this is a genuine product. I believe my feelings!"

Cai Yi smiled and said, "You are still young. You may have seen this feeling that your teacher said in normal times, but you may not care about it, and sometimes you even forcefully stifle this feeling. This is actually wrong. When you have a strong feeling about an object, don't stifle this feeling first, but use the knowledge you have learned and your own experience to verify the correctness of your feeling from all aspects. As long as you do your work well, you will find that the final verification results are often the same as your feeling."

Mr. Liu also smiled, and was still very grateful for his old friend's support. "But you should also pay attention to it. You can't not verify it just because you have feelings. That kind of approach is wrong. You are still young now, and whether you have experience or knowledge, you can't judge the authenticity of an object by relying on your feelings. You need to use that feeling as an introduction, and then use your skills, knowledge and experience to verify it. Among them, your knowledge and experience are also very important and cannot be ignored."

The little Zhao suddenly asked, "Teacher, what if there is a mistake in the final verification?"

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "It is often because your knowledge is not learned well, or your experience deceives you, which will eventually lead to you reaching a wrong conclusion. In fact, the feeling you first feel is often correct."

The little Zhao looked confused. Obviously, what his teacher said was different from what he usually learned.

When Mr. Liu saw that the other disciples were a little confused, he explained: "This kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words. Only when you have done enough, seen enough, and experienced enough mistakes can you slowly understand what your feelings are. It's still a bit early to tell you about these things."

Cai Yi smiled and said, "What your teacher just said is actually a BOSS ultimate skill that has already entered the house. Only old guys like us who are about to get into the ground can understand this ultimate skill. How can you little kids who have not even made it to an elite monster yet understand this ultimate skill?"

Everyone burst into laughter together.

Mr. Liu said to Xiao Zhao: "I think you still don't understand, so let me ask you, how many pieces have you found in Daqi Tongbao now? When did the earliest one appear?"

Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then realized that the teacher was exploring himself, so he suppressed the gods and said, "Teacher, according to historical records, since the Qing Dynasty, Tongbao of Daqi has discovered three authentic products. The first authentic product is the legendary missing corner Daqi. It was first seen in the book "Guquan Huikao" written by Weng Shupei, which records that this ancient spring was originally owned by the Dai family of Renhe (Hangcheng).

After a pause, Xiao Zhao continued, "The "Guquan Huikao" says, 'There is a small fuse in this Qian Ren and Dai family. The copper is quite ancient, and the characters are also clumsy and sluggish'. This missing horn Daqi was given to a drunkard in the past. There were more than 100 ancient coins, including only two outstanding good coins, one 'Tie Baoqing' and the other 'Quejiao Daqi'. At that time, Wu Yi'an, a Quan family in Hangzhou, liked the two coins very much, so he proposed to exchange them with several Han seals. Dai only gave Baoqing to him and left the "Quejiao Daqi" collection. Wu Yi'an made dozens of rubbings of the "Quejiao Daqi" before everyone could see its true appearance. This was the first time that the Daqi Tongbao appeared in front of the world."

"Later, Dai gave Daqi to his son Dai Xi, Dai Xi, whose courtesy name was Chun Shi, and his posthumous title was Wen Jie, who was good at poetry and calligraphy, was good at painting, and liked metal and stone. He disclosed the Qian Tuopao of the "Quejiao Daqi" for the first time in his masterpiece "Guquan Conghua" of the Quanxue. In the later genealogies, the "Quejiao Daqi" was all derived from this, and this spring has always been hidden in Dai Xi's hands."

"However, it is said that after the Taiping Army captured Shanghai in February 1860, Dai Xi, who lived in Shanghai, was a Qing minister and devoted himself to the water. Before his death, he buried all his treasures underground, including rare treasures such as Daqi Tongbao. An antique dealer bought the Dai house at a high price in order to obtain this "Quejiao Daqi", and then dug three feet of the land and searched hard. However, he went through the courtyard and dug the land several times, but he had nowhere to be found. Some antique dealers were not willing to give up and sold it several times, demolishing and digging again. The soil was sieved and inch of land was not lost. The entire courtyard was turned upside down, but he still found nothing. This "Quejiao Daqi" has been buried underground like his master forever."
