Zhou Xia himself did not have much research on bronze ware. Since he started working, the last time the bronze mirror of the four divine beasts was considered a bronze object.

But when he was studying in school, he learned a lot of knowledge about bronze ware identification, but he didn't have many opportunities to apply it to reality. This was also a big regret for him, but his energy was limited and he could not take care of everything, so he had to give up.

Now that the archaeological identification system is available, Zhou Xia’s lost thoughts have begun to revive again.

However, Zhou Xia was quite self-aware of his own bronze identification level.

Zhou Xia didn't care much about embarrassing things in front of Zhao Xiangbo. He just happened to find some experience from him. What kind of face can you eat?

Zhou Xia looked at these bronze ware in front of him and felt that they were fake at first glance.

Especially the crotch splitting tripod, which is rusty. In the words of experts, it is "there are obvious traces of artificial old things."

But when he carefully looked at the traces on the bronze crotch tripod, he felt that this thing was most likely to be genuine.

Although the level of counterfeiting of bronze ware is quite powerful, it is not common to be so old.

To be on the safe side, Zhou Xia still asked the system to make a judgment.

It is easy to learn the identification of bronze ware, but it is too difficult to master it. Every decades of effort, you can't learn something real. Therefore, Zhou Xia can only treat it as a learning process. If he really wants to use his own strength to do the identification, he is still a few decades away from the Taoist practice.

The system quickly concluded that "this work was created in 852 BC."

As soon as the identification result came out, Zhou Xia almost shocked. Is it really something that happened more than two thousand years ago or nearly three thousand years ago?

Zhou Xia didn't need to think about how this thing came from. It was definitely unearthed, and few bronzes could be passed down all the time. As for whether they were newly unearthed or early unearthed, everyone was tacitly aware of it.

Since it was confirmed that it was a bronze ware from the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xia naturally had to find a way to take it down, otherwise. I am really sorry for his carrying system.

But how to get it safely also requires certain skills. He is now a frequent visitor to the ghost market and has already gained considerable experience in how to bargain here.

In addition, Zhou Xia also needs to confirm whether the other bronzes are genuine.

If it is a genuine product, you might as well take it together. If it is a fake product, it will also give a very good assessment of the overall situation. Being able to grasp the stall owner's appreciation and appraisal level and his psychological price will be of great benefit to him to get this Western Zhou crotch tripod.

As for learning, it’s not too late to learn slowly after taking down the things.

Soon, Zhou Xia asked the system to identify several other bronze ware, but whether it is a tripod, a gu, a tripod, a tripod, or a tripod, and a Zun, they are all modern imitations, that is, things made in the past 10 or 20 years. Of course, such bronze ware is not worth much money and there is no need to buy it home.

As a result, Zhou Xia also made a preliminary judgment on the level of the stall owner and the price in his mind.

After he confirmed that the crotch splitting tripod was the real product, he did not stay on it for too long. He did not look over and over again, it would only make him slaughter.

I have to say that Zhou Xia concealed it very well, and even Zhao Xiangbo, who came with him, didn't know that he had already fallen in love with this crotch splitting tripod and intentionally took it down.

He also spent some time on another bronze lord. In addition to his old arrangement of doubts, he also wanted to see how these modern imitations were used to make old.

Take this bronze lord as an example. There are not many ways to make the patina on it, and there are quite a few ways to make it old and create such an effect. In addition to common acid and alkali corrosion, some counterfeiters will also bury the finished bronzes underground for several years, so that the new bronzes will be stained with the breath of ancient tombs and are eroded by the environment, making it particularly difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

There is also this red rust. When Zhou Xia was in school, the teachers emphasized it and took them to do experiments.

Red rust like this is usually mixed with alcohol into cinnabar and then ignite. After burning, the red cinnabar will remain on the surface of the copper ware, and then the red and green rust in front of you will form.

The red and green rust made of this method is quite confusing, and even experts will be fooled if they are not careful.

Not to mention, Zhou Xia is a guy who is worse than a rookie.

But he has a system in his body, so it is of course much easier to reverse the cause and effect from the result.

Zhou Xia was so artificial, not only the stall owner who had been paying attention to them, but even Zhao Xiangbo was a little suspicious whether Zhou Xia had taken a fancy to this bronze lord again.

When Zhou Xia spoke to ask about the price, neither Zhao Xiangbo nor the middle-aged bald stall owner showed any surprise. The stall owner smiled and offered him a high price of 3,000 yuan.

Zhou Xia definitely wouldn't agree. He bargained for 100 yuan. He actually thought that the price was too high. He was still thinking in his heart that if the stall owner agreed, would he move this not-so-large bronze lord back home? Because as far as the general industry rules are concerned, as long as he bargained and the other party agreed, the transaction would have to be fulfilled.

The stall owner naturally couldn't agree to such a price.

Zhou Xia was very patient and slowly grinding with him. Seeing that the heat was almost the same, he said that the price was too expensive and he didn't want it. Then, he changed his target and asked the bronze spear next to him.

The price offered by the stall owner is also quite outrageous, costing 5,000 yuan.

Zhou Xia, who knew this was a modern imitation, actually wanted to spit on him, but this situation was not allowed to happen, so he still took the time to rub it with the stall owner. At this time, Zhou Xia was surprised to find that he actually enjoyed this process, and the other party knew it but did not understand his true intentions. This feeling was quite pleasant.

The psychological price gap between the two parties is too big, so this deal naturally cannot be negotiated.

Only then did Zhou Xia find out his real target, this bronze crotch tripod about twenty years high.

This time, the stall owner still offered a high price, asking for 10,000 yuan.

Zhou Xia expressed deep admiration for his obsession, "Boss, you have no desire to do business at all! Be cheaper, give a real price."

The stall owner is also an old man and replied, "I said, little brother, you have to show some sincerity!"

Zhou Xia said, "I have sincerity, otherwise I wouldn't have talked to you here, right? To show my sincerity, I will pay 300 yuan, how about it, it's sincere enough!"

"Three hundred yuan, prices are soaring now. You can't buy a piece of copper like this, so you have to add some more."

"That's 35! Boss, you should be more straightforward!" Zhou Xia was still quite stingy when she heard that there was a show and added fifty yuan. It is worth mentioning that this situation is the norm in the antique market.

The two of them used their skills to fight. In the end, Zhou Xia, Grandet, gave the crotch tripod for 650 yuan. The weight of this thing was really not light, and Zhou Xia didn't want to carry it to the ghost market and then go to the ghost market to make trouble. After the transaction was completed, he was ready to go home.

At this time, Zhao Xiangbo generally would not dissuade Zhou Xia. He came with a completely good attitude. When Zhou Xia bought real and good things, Zhao Xiangbo would be very happy because he could appreciate it. If Zhou Xia unfortunately bought a fake, Zhao Xiangbo would be happier. It was his usual wish to see that this boy was defeated. Although this wish had not been realized, the more he did so, the more he had such expectations.

Seeing that Zhou Xia bought the bronze tripod and walked back with her arms around, Zhao Xiangbo asked him, "What are you doing for this?"

Zhou Xia asked strangely, "Mr. Zhao, didn't you say it just now? If you don't collect two bronze ware, how can you be considered as collecting it? Am I not responding to your call?"

Zhao Xiangbo asked, "Then do you buy such a bronze ware, and you should consider it to be a task?"

"Well, I have no research on bronzes. I just know how to follow my feelings. Mr. Zhao, please tell me later?" Zhou Xia pretended to behave, and he had no choice but to tell him too many ways to identify bronzes. Zhou Xia couldn't speak too much, so he could only shirk his feelings.

Zhao Xiangbo felt something strange when Zhou Xia said this.

"Could it be that this bronze ware is still a genuine product?" Zhao Xiangbo asked in confusion. At that moment, he asked Zhou Xia that he wanted this bronze crotch tripod in his hand.

This crotch-dividing tripod is an old cast with three legs, which means that this bronze ware will not be a particularly fine item. Moreover, the surface of this tripod is rusty, as if it was deliberately concealed, and it is a graphic worker. This is why Zhao Xiangbo was not optimistic about it before.

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao has to be asked to make a judgment. I am unreliable myself, at least this is true in the identification of bronze ware."

Zhao Xiangbo didn't have so much time to talk nonsense to him, so he just looked at the extremely dim lights of the ghost market. Unfortunately, the lights were so dim that he couldn't see anything for a while.

You should know that the imitations of today can be used to make real things, which makes many museums look at them and have collected a lot of modern and new imitation bronzes. However, this skill can be distinguished by this.

Zhao Xiangbo couldn't tell the truth about the fake for a while, so he was not in a hurry and asked Zhou Xia, "Do you kid plan to take him home or what? Why not move him to me and take a look at you."

Zhou Xia nodded in agreement, "Okay, I can see the fine bronze ware collected by Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Xiangbo laughed and said, "You guy is very slippery. But if your bronze ware is a fake, you have to find a few real ones for me in the future, otherwise wouldn't you take advantage of it for nothing?"

Zhou Xia smiled but said nothing, but Zhao Xiangbo was not polite to him. He returned the bronze tripod to him and asked him to carry it away by himself. He also asked him, "Let's go back now, or go to the ghost market again?"

"If you walk around with such a heavy thing, you will be exhausted!" Zhou Xia didn't want to bother with him. He had not yet married and had children, so he wanted to live a few more years!

"Young man, you should exercise more, so as not to be worse than us elderly people." Zhao Xiangbo said with a smile. He was obviously standing and talking without any pain in his back.

Zhou Xia didn't bother with him, and walked back with the bronze cauldron in his arms.

On the way, Zhao Xiangbo also asked him, "How much do you know about bronze ware?"

Zhou Xia said nothing frankly, "I learned some bronze appraisal knowledge when I was in school. After working in an auction company, I rarely came into contact with such bronzes. Although the auction company is bold, it dares not openly do illegal business and sell such bronzes on sale."

Zhao Xiangbo smiled and said, "That's true. If the auction company can also buy bronzes, the market will probably be even more lively. Large auction houses abroad have sold some bronzes of high value. If you have the opportunity, you can bring those bronzes back to China."

"There are too many precious things lost abroad. Not only bronzes. If you want to bring them back to China, money alone is not enough. It will only make people in vain!" Zhou Xia had his own opinion on this. If he could use the method of stealing and robbing, he would not mind at all. After all, most of the precious cultural relics were not lost through legitimate channels.

Zhao Xiangbo expressed his approval, but he also had to admit that this was almost an unsolvable problem. Although most Chinese people have a lot of passion, in the end, their patriotism and the huge amount of funds they bought with their signs often only allow those foreigners to take advantage of it.

Putting aside this, Zhao Xiangbo felt that if this bronze crotch tripod was genuine, it would not be of great value. At least, it would not meet the national first-level and second-level cultural relics.

Even if something recently unearthed, Zhou Xia would not be in too much trouble.

Moreover, this is the current situation of the collection market. If you really have to strictly follow the national laws, you don’t think of receiving any good things. The most numerous bronze devices like this are unearthed. Zhao Xiangbo took some risks for Zhou Xia a few days ago and helped him keep the rare secret porcelain water purification cup!

The old and the young were not slow to walk. Even Zhou Xia held the bronze tripod and did not fall. After a while, he arrived at Zhao Xiangbo's house. At this time, it was still early before dawn.

Zhao Xiangbo invited Zhou Xia into the house and took him to a room specially used to store collections such as bronzes.

Zhou Xia also smiled and said, "When I came last time, Mr. Zhao didn't take us to this room to visit."

Zhao Xiangbo despised him and said, "You kid and the little girl from the Liu family are both very clues. I have seen through it. I want to bring you here at that time, and you probably won't come either. Because these things are not of high value, and they can't be filmed at all, and you won't waste time here."

"How could this be! Am I here to visit now? Mr. Zhao's collection is really rich, no wonder Manager Liu misses it." Zhou Xia looked around and found that Zhao Xiangbo's collection was really rich.

There are many bronze ware, and there are all types of utensils.

Zhao Xiangbo said self-deprecatingly, "I know what you want to say. Some of the bronzes I bought from my eyes are often in the world. How can I not pay some tuition fees? Do you still hold your bronzes and do not feel tired?"

Zhou Xia smiled and said that it was okay, but in his hand, he had already put down the bronze tripod he was holding and placed it on the wooden table in the room.

At this time, he had no time to pay attention to Zhao Xiangbo's collection. It was the most important thing to learn from Zhao Xiangbo and identify the crotch tripod through serious channels.

Just because he had so many bronze artifacts collected by Zhao Xiangbo, Zhou Xia felt it was necessary to follow him to learn a few tricks. Even if all of these bronze artifacts were imitations, he could accumulate a lot of experience.

Zhao Xiangbo couldn't wait to appraise the bronze ware that Zhou Xiaxin bought to see what his luck was?

When he was in the ghost market, Zhao Xiangbo only looked at it roughly. Zhou Xia did not do any careful appraisal in order to get it at a low price.

After this, after being placed under the light, the true face of this bronze crotch splitting tripod was completely exposed to the eyes of the two of them.

Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is completely exposed. There is too much rust on the surface of this bronze crotch tripod, and it seems to be deliberately made old, which affects everyone's perception of it. Especially now everyone knows that the fake bronze ware on the market is flooding.

This tripod is not big. When you observe carefully, you can see its detailed performance from the cover of red, green rust soil.

Cicada patterns, animal faces, stitches, ridges, and necks.

It does have the style characteristics of the Western Zhou bronze tripod, with excellent casting and polishing techniques.

While observing and verifying carefully, Zhao Xiangbo did not forget to bring a bronze tripod from his own collection that also belonged to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was quite comparable and referenced to each other. With this, it would be easier to make an identification.

Zhou Xia looked like a good student. He listened to him talk about some things related to bronze ware identification, and from time to time raised his own doubts and asked Zhao Xiangbo to help answer them.

Zhao Xiangbo was originally a professor in the history department and always had the habit of being a good teacher. Even though he was defeated by Zhou Xia at first, his problem could not be corrected. As long as Zhou Xia asked, he would speak out and say everything. Moreover, he was well aware of the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he could easily get all the allusions and materials. If Zhou Xia had to work hard to search for information, he also regarded Zhao Xiangbo in front of him as a living library, and he would not have to spend time to go to the library.

The crotch-dividing tripod in front of me, also known as the tripod, is a mixture of tripod and tripod.

Moreover, the carcass is thick and the patterns are exquisite, which is similar to the Western Zhou Dynasty style of the cognitive Western Zhou Dynasty. After careful study, the two of them unanimously concluded that this is the authentic product from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although this crotch-dividing tripod has many disadvantages, such as the flat craftsmanship and the not particularly beautiful three-legged legs, it is not so conspicuous among the many bronze tripods. At the same time, Zhao Xiangbo also felt that if it were faked by modern people, he might be more willing to build those bronze tripods with higher value.

Zhao Xiangbo also sighed, "This kind of good tripod can be regarded as a small fine product, but unfortunately it is covered by its appearance."
