The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 95: ? Generous? Not necessarily!

   On April 25th, Nong Bosheng finally rushed to Xiangjiang, along with two staff from the exhibition hall, who were also students taught by the curator.

   It was arranged to meet at the Peninsula Hotel beforehand. When Zhang Nan met Nong Bosheng alone, he made sure that the two people who came together were reliable, and then they took the three to his suite.

   "As expected, people who are engaged in academic research, they only think of bamboo slips when they come in!" People from the mainland will be attracted by the environment when they enter a place like the Presidential Suite of the Peninsula Hotel! But Nong Bosheng and his two students did not pay attention to the luxurious environment here. At most, when they were in the aisle, they slightly expressed their feelings for the extravagance of capitalism on the wool carpets here.

   As soon as they entered the suite living room, the three people stared at the three lacquer boxes placed on the huge coffee table.

   "It's here, and when the time comes, it will be taken with the box. It is very likely that it will be in this state when it is unearthed."

   Zhang Nan motioned to the three to please.

   Now Zhang Nan and others have seen what is called a real ancient culture researcher: the three of Nong Bosheng are as if they are possessed, and they plunged into the pile of bamboo slips and couldn't get out.

   For two full hours, Nongbosheng had the talent to ask two students to repackage the three boxes.

   "Mr. Zhang..."

   "Don't, just call me Xiao Zhang or A Zhang Nan!"

  "Xiao Zhang, this time I really want to thank you for your research on Chinese history

  'S great contribution! "

  Nong Bosheng was a little excited, including the two researchers with excitement.

   Zhang Nan signaled everyone to be casual, not to be so serious and formal.

   "Chairman of Agriculture, you haven't reached such a high level, right?"

  "Xiao Zhang, you may not be clear: these bamboo slips are basically infallible in the Chu Kingdom during the Warring States Period. They not only have extremely important historical and cultural research value, but also end a Zhuanggong case in the history of Chinese classics!"

   "Director of Agriculture, I have heard of the authenticity of this "Zuo Zhuan", but I don't fully understand the details of it. Our education level is limited and there is no way."

   He used to be an antique dealer and collector, but he is not a researcher of ancient culture. He doesn't even know a little about the classics.

Nong Bosheng drank his mouth and said: "That's it. The dispute over the authenticity of Zuo Zhuan has been around for a long time, because Zuo Zhuan is one of the basic documents for studying the pre-Qin period, but it was listed as a banned book in the Qin Dynasty. Burning books and Confucian scholars almost made this classic disappear.

The book was published by Zhang Cang in the early Western Han Dynasty. Afterwards, "Zuo Zhuan" has long been known as the "Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Zhuan". Its author and writing date were once a "big case and important case" in the history of Confucian classics, and even suspected of being the Han Dynasty. A fake book fabricated by Liu Xin. "

   Zhang Nan heard this and said, "Is this Liu Xin going to assassinate Wang Mang, and the one who finally failed to commit suicide?"

   "Yes, it's him."

Nong Bosheng also said: "At present, Liu Xin is really wronged! Qing scholar Liu Fenglu believes that Liu Xin has reversed the Five Classics and tampered with Zuo Zhuan in "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu Textual Research". There is also Kang Youwei's "Xinxue Puppet Classics". Kao also believes that Liu Xin forged "Zuo Zhuan" and completely rejected the book.

   This view has also been recognized by Gu Jiegang, Qian Xuan and other "Ancient History Discrimination School" scholars, and Zhang Xitang also recognized this view.

Of course, there are also "Zuo Zhuan": Zhang Taiyan's "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan Du", Liu Shipei's "Zhou Qin Zhu Zi Shu Zuo Zhuan Kao", "Zuo Shi Xue Xing in the Western Han Dynasty" and other works all argued "Zuo Zhuan" Not a fake book.

   Qian Mu listed 28 questions to refute Kang Youwei's point of view in "The Chronicle of Liu Xiangxin's Father and Son", proving that Liu Xin could not tamper with the book. After the article was published, it was generally approved by the academic circles at that time.

   At present, most Chinese scholars believe that Kang Youwei's criticism shows the prejudice of the classics and serves his political views of "reforming the ancient system"!

However, the dispute over the authenticity of "Zuo Zhuan" has not completely ended. Xichuan scholar Xu Renfu continued to insist that "Zuo Zhuan" was later than "Historical Records" in the book "Zuo Zhuan Shuzheng" published in 1981. However, this This point of view has not been accepted and supported by most scholars..."

   To tell the truth, upon hearing this, Zhang Nan has also figured out something: as evidenced by the bamboo slips of Zuo Zhuan during the Warring States Period, the theory of "fake books" is self-defeating!

  "Xiao Zhang, there are thousands of bamboo slips here. Although they have been broken up, they are basically the content of the book "Zuo Zhuan", which can correspond to the current version, but I have not seen a small part of the content.

   Bring it back this time, although it will take a lot of time to sort out and research, but two points are certain! "

   "First, the "Zuo Zhuan" that has been passed down since ancient times is the true copy; second, there may be missing chapters in the current version, and these bamboo slips can give us the answer."

   Zhang Nan heard it and said, "Unfortunately, this is not the entire book."

   There are more than 100,000 characters in "Zuo Zhuan", and the bamboo slips here are obviously not enough.

   "Hehe, this is already pretty good. If you hadn't bought and donated these bamboo slips, I still don't know what will happen in the end."

   At this time, the two students of Nong Bosheng have been led to the bathroom by Master Xiao Chen, and the ones who stayed in the living room were "owners".

   Said this, Nong Bosheng said with emotion: "I have been to Xiangjiang twice before, and there are so many Chinese cultural relics reselled here! But the funds are limited, and each time I regret it, our money is too little!"

   "By the way, Xiao Zhang, take the liberty to ask, if it is convenient, can you tell me how much money you spent on these bamboo slips?

   This is a nerd mad.

   Zhang Nan glanced at the curator and said: "It didn't cost much, 300,000 Hong Kong dollars."

  Nongbosheng took a breath!

   300,000 Hong Kong dollars! This is a huge amount of foreign exchange, and if it is him, it is extremely difficult to approve it!

  300,000 RMB, he has a way, but foreign exchange?

   no rut!

   Zhang Nan thought for a while, and said, "To be honest, you are my brother-in-law's brother-in-law, and we are also relatives. I am afraid of trouble. If it were not for safety, I would not have thought of your Yongcheng Museum."

Speaking of this, Nong Bosheng immediately said: "We promised Wei Rong to keep it confidential, so we must keep it secret! You can rest assured that my two students and I, unless Xiao Zhang, you want to disclose this one day, otherwise the three of us I must keep my mouth shut, even if anyone asks!"

   When doing research, sometimes it's just a stick.

   "Hehe, if you don't believe you, even if I give you something, I won't show up today.

   What is my current actual situation, even my brother-in-law is not very clear. "

   said this, Zhang Nan stopped: "I will tell my brother-in-law later that if your museum needs to purchase some precious Chinese cultural relics that have been lost overseas, but the funding is really tight, you can call him to find me.

   However, that sentence needs to be kept strictly confidential! And I still have two conditions! "

  Nongbosheng is already happy, let alone two conditions, he also promised ten conditions!

"Xiao Zhang, I have carried over during special periods. If my students and I don’t want to talk about it, no one can let us talk! As for the conditions, you say ~www.readwn.com~ As long as I can do it, it must be promise!"

   In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, I was able to study in the Soviet Union. Several of these have a simple background!

   "Good! First, when I have time, I will go to Yongcheng and ask you some knowledge about Western antiques and artworks, as well as bronze inscriptions."

   "No problem!" Nong Bosheng immediately agreed.

"Second, I know that your museum has an old warehouse that has been accumulated for decades. It is filled with antiques that cannot be displayed on the booth. I want to take a look and pick one. If it is suitable, I can follow the market price of the cultural relics store. Acquisition."

"That’s not a problem. At present, the exhibition hall is small, and only boutiques are on display. Some things in that warehouse were originally to be disposed of as waste. You can sell as much as you want. I can make a decision on this, and no one will gossip."

   "Well, it's a deal!"

   Zhang Nan is also happy: Is he really casual and generous in front of him?

   Not exactly: The warehouse of the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall is very huge, it is a huge treasure house!

   And even if you don’t take this opportunity to start, you will slowly lose it in the next few years: Although the things in it are not ancient treasures, the variety is unimaginable! The simplest: even the big bronze cannons of the Qing Dynasty!

   As long as there is foreign exchange, cannons can be sold too!

   And many of them were not important in the 1980s. They could only store dust in the warehouse, or even sell them as scraps. They will be treasures after ten years!

   give one away, at least ten back!
