The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　 (If you like antiques in this chapter, don’t miss it. If you like the plot, you can watch it or not. The free chapter, this chapter took nearly three hours to finish.)

　　 "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty" volume one six arsenal orders the chief of the position records: There are four swords, one is the yi knife, the second is the barrier knife, the third is the horizontal knife, and the fourth is the mo knife.

　　 Today, the term "Tang Dao" is the general term for the four styles of sabers in the Sui and Tang dynasties, generally referring to Tang Heng Dao.

　　 The modern common name "Tang Knife" is mainly a concept promoted by some sword dealers in mainland China: its narrow and straight blade, small shank, and long handle. The direct prototype is the "Gold and Silver Dintang Knife" imported from the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago from the collection of RB Zhengcangyuan.

　　The shape of the Tang sword comes from the first sword of the Han ring. In the early stage, most of the military Tang swords retained the ring head and also had a straight blade.

　　 Tang Knife as an army war knife, the biggest role is to fight, its production process is strict, and also consider the other two key characteristics of the battle: that is armor-breaking and durability!

　　 piercing armor requires hardness and a narrow cutting edge; durability requires toughness, so Tang Knife uses the most advanced steel clad technology in the world at that time.

　　Wrought iron is used as the outer skin, with 100 steel-making in the middle, and part of the cutting edge adopts local quenching technology, that is, covering with soil and burning the blade.

　　 The blade is hard and can chop, pierce and pierce armor, while the blade's toughness is not deformed!

　　 and durable: this is the biggest difference between the horizontal knife and the RB knife!

　　 RB had very few iron armors in ancient times, and the armors of those high-ranking warriors looked exaggerated, but! Many are made of bamboo!

The ancient RB top samurai swords are extremely sharp, but in a war, a Japanese pirate general has three or five samurai swords in his waist, and two samurai swords on his back. The entourage at the back helps to take a few spare samurai swords, and then again. The situation is not unavailable!

　　 Not to mention that a katana has been used for a few years, and it is common for a katana to be broken after a battle.

　　 RB people remember it in their own history.

　　 Then why can so many ancient samurai swords be preserved?

　　 One is that RB's local war was small in the old days, and the other is that many famous knives are treasures and decorations of the upper class.

　　 Then how to distinguish Tang Dao from other straight knives?

　　 The simple way to identify other straight knives similar to Tang knives is: the angle of the tip is Tang knives!

　　 There is a blood trough, the tip of the blade is semi-circular, and the blade with more than one-half to one-third of the blade area is a Japanese straight knife.

　　 And the Tang Dynasty Huaxia actually had a long and narrow scimitar, which is painted in the unearthed tomb murals, so it is nonsense to say that the devils invented the curved blade to increase the lethality!

　　 Then why are the Tang Dynasty horizontal knives unearthed are hard and straight? The arc knives are almost missing?

　　Because the war and opponents that Datang faces, it is not RB domestic lords playing house, gang fights like weapon fights!

　　The arc-shaped samurai sword is extremely lethal to the human body without armor!

　　 But when facing an iron-clad opponent, the arc knives won't work.

　　 To break the armor, you need a straight blade!

　　 That uncle bearded man can be regarded as a military expert at best, and he is very accurate about the price of the Devil Sabre, but he is a Westerner after all. He regards a top national treasure level Huaxia Tang Dynasty horizontal sword as Devil's samurai sword!

　　 He probably didn't even know that Huaxia had a horizontal sword. More likely, he didn't know what the Tang Dynasty was! <br>

　　 Don’t be surprised. In the 1980s, many Americans’ understanding of Huaxia was limited to many movies that vilified Huaxia’s image. They thought that at this time Huaxia people were still wearing melon hats!

　　 Not to mention the United States, many of the Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s are still vilifying the mainland.

　　 pulled away.

　　 How did that Zhang Nan recognize that it was a Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty?

　　The wooden handle that cannot be easily removed, the straight scabbard, and the mottled marks on the top are not caused by poor long-term preservation, but the time is too long!

　　Until now, Zhang Nan is still not sure if the knife outfit of this horizontal knife is a post-match.

　　 More than a thousand years is too long for a steel knife!

　　 If the knife suit was made by Xinhou eight hundred years ago, after such a long time, Zhang Nan would not be able to tell!

　　 But the blade itself must be made in China in the Tang Dynasty: not only steel craftsmanship, but also the three characters "Shaofujian" on the side of the blade that are already mottled!

　　 Shaofu Supervisor, the name of the ancient Chinese central bureaucracy.

　　Shaofu is an ancient Chinese official name that appeared earlier and lasted for a long time.

　　 After the Tang Dynasty, it was often called the Shaofujian, and the Yuan Dynasty was abolished.

　　 Huaxia was first set up in the Shaofu during the Warring States Period and was in charge of the handicraft industry and the private manor of the monarch.

　　 The Shaofu of the Tang Dynasty was only in charge of the various tasks of the craftsmanship, and the manufacture of ordnance was also in it.

　　 Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had strict regulations on the construction of civilian weapons!

　　 In the more than one hundred years since Li Yuan proclaimed the emperor to the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited civilians from building weapons! The weapons in the treasury and treasury are all made by manufacturing institutions specially set up by the central and local governments at all levels.

　　 There are also strict regulations on the types and quantities of weapons that are allowed to be produced by the manufacturing institutions set up by each level of government.

　　 Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had relatively uniform requirements on the specifications of weapons, which also made the weapons made in various places universal.

　　 Since the Tang Dynasty has had a prosperous economy, strong military, stable domestic order, and no war in the Central Plains for a hundred years during the past century, few folks have offended this law, made weapons, and tried the law.

　　 For more than a hundred years, the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were all made by officials.

　　 And this knife is engraved with "Shaofujian", indicating that this knife should be made in the armory directly controlled by the central government of the Tang Dynasty. The total length of the handle is about one meter, which belongs to the category of "big horizontal sword" in Tang Dynasty.

　　 Uncle Beard said that he bought this knife from someone else. How about before?

　　 I'm sorry, he doesn't know!

Zhang Nan estimated that it was near Chang'an. After the knife was made, I don’t know the reason and process. The knife was brought to RB. As for how the knife got to the United States, it was probably collected by American soldiers from the Devil’s homeland. , And that person still doesn't know the true value of this knife!

　　Accordingly, the Tang Dynasty horizontal swords like this can be preserved to the present. They must have been spread in order for thousands of years and have been carefully maintained by people, otherwise they will not be preserved at all.

　　 But why has this knife been not well-known before and hasn't been preserved by the little devil as a national treasure?

　　 Maybe it's a secret family collection?

　　 Maybe there is something wrong with the way~www.readwn.com~ which caused the holder to keep secret?

maybe……

　　Who knows!

　　 Zhang Nan probably won’t understand this question for a lifetime, and there is no need to figure it out.

　　 Besides, in addition to RB people, other countries, including China, still have questions about whether the Tang swords and Sui swords kept in RB are real Tang swords.

　　 This is not to suspect that there is a problem with the age of the knives, but the origin!

　　 After RB brought the Sui and Tang knives back to China, they were called "Tang Dadao". They are still imitated in China, and these straight-knife imitations are called "Tang-like knives" by today's RB people.

　　 But I haven't heard of the inscriptions on those knives more than a thousand years ago!

　　 Zhang Nan is very tired, but I still have to thank Nicole for the third time: "If you didn't bring me to this flea market, I would have missed it!

　　 may be bought as a plaything by someone who doesn't know how to do it, and then thrown into the storage room or even the trash can!

　　 So, thank you again!

　　 After waiting for a while, I will give you a present, please don't refuse it. "

This is a Datang Hengdao that has never been recorded and appeared. Zhang Nan’s guess is not a virtual imagination: if Zhang Nan did not appear here today, it is very likely that it will be completely dusted and will even be thrown into the landfill a few years later. Buried!

　　 Americans like the new katana instead of the unpretentious one!

As for giving Nicole a gift, what Zhang Nan considers to give is not something, but something else: in fact, it is mutually beneficial for him and Nicole~www.readwn.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest and greatest The fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.readwn.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
