Chapter 221: Magic light mirror

"what happened?"
Mu Qingsi quickly found Yang Chen's look and quickly asked.
Yang Chen shook his head: "How come, how could that thing appear here? No no no, this is impossible!"
This auction donated by Wang Meimei is a mirror. To be precise, it is a bronze mirror. Above the bronze mirror is a simple and elegant pattern with no handle, about half a square in size.
But looking at the past carefully, this is not like an ancient bronze mirror, because the entire bronze mirror looks relatively new, unlike antiques, but like a modern high imitation.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the production style of this bronze mirror, etc., cannot be a modern product.
Because the modern high imitation, even if it is claimed to restore ancient crafts, it is actually just propaganda, and it is impossible to truly demobilize ancient crafts. In addition to technology, ancient crafts also have different materials. A certain process may not be technically good, but because of the material, it has become an unreproducible noise.
This is the case with this bronze mirror.
It has its own characteristics on the mirror surface, color and overall molding. These characteristics are entirely due to the material, and are not reproducible by simple techniques.
These characteristics exactly match the characteristics of the famous Tongjian production in a certain period in ancient history. It is an ancient artifact at least before the Han Dynasty. If so, this thing is very valuable.
Of course, if you are not someone who has expertise in cultural relics appreciation, you can't see that. At best, they can only feel that this thing is relatively "new", and it does not seem to be particularly reliable.
Therefore, after this auction item is taken out, everyone's price increase is not particularly enthusiastic. Barely reluctant to increase the price by 5,000 yuan each time. If it wasn’t for the daughter of Wang Meimei, the party’s sponsor, it’s possible to give a little face, and it’s possible to shoot a lot.
But Yang Chen frowned more and more.
At this time Wang Meimei was not happy.
Although the price of her beloved baby is low, it may not be bought by others, but will fall into the hands of the person who has been arranged in advance, so that there is no need to worry about the loss of the baby. But the strange eyes of others. It made her vanity unbearable.
"What's going on? Don't fool people like this?"
"But no, just a modern high imitation, a low price of 1.5 million? This is clearly a black money."
"Oh, after all, it's a party run by other people. It doesn't help if people want to pit your money. Anyway, all your money has to be donated. Just do it well."
...
Etc., etc. A person whispered, making Wang Meimei's face suddenly unable to hang and became flushed.
"Black money? Hang people? Huh. Today I let you see what is the treasure!"
Thinking of Wang Meimei, people sent a few words to the auctioneer.
Originally because the auction was not enthusiastic enough, the auctioneer, who was a little listless, suddenly became as excited as the chicken blood. Shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, this lot is very valuable. Don't miss it! I will repeat it again. Don't miss it!"
There was no response below, indifferent.
"Everyone may be a little puzzled. I don't understand what is precious about this ancient mirror, then. Now I will show it to everyone."
The auctioneer certainly knew what everyone thought, so he went on.
"Exhibit? What else can you show?"
"Oh, there is such a turning point? It doesn't matter if you look..."
In the whispers of people, the auctioneer held up the ancient mirror in his hands and showed both positive and negative faces to everyone: "Please be optimistic, the front and back of this ancient mirror."
The lighting engineer responded in a timely manner and hit the ancient mirror with strong light, so that every detail of the ancient mirror could be seen.
This is also very rare.
Because ordinary cultural relics and antiques, under normal circumstances, can not be irradiated with strong light, so as not to cause damage to cultural relics. Why are photographs not allowed in museums like the Forbidden City? Because the flash on the camera is a strong light, it will adversely affect the cultural relics.
The same is true for today's auction, and other antique lots have no glare. The only one who shines bright light is this time.
People clearly saw every detail of the ancient mirror, but nothing strange happened.
Then, the glare disappeared, and behind the auctioneer, someone came up to set up a projection screen.
Subsequently, a soft light hit the mirror surface of the ancient mirror in the hands of the auctioneer. The auctioneer adjusted the angle of the ancient mirror in his hand, and the reflected light was projected onto the screen.
At the next moment, the audience exclaimed in silence.
This is because, unlike the ordinary mirror reflections that everyone imagines, this time the reflections are projected on the screen with vivid patterns.
"This... this pattern is the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror!"
Someone has exclaimed the exit.
After being reminded by him, others immediately responded: "Yes, it is really the pattern on the back of the copper mirror! However, those patterns are clearly on the back. Why is the light reflected from the mirror surface able to project these patterns? This is an opaque copper mirror, not a transparent glass mirror!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Sure enough, it is a strange treasure! Today it is not in vain!"
"1.5 million? No, this price is too cheap! I'm paying 2 million!"
"What is two million? I have two and a half million!"
"three million!"
...
Without waiting for the auctioneer to speak, everyone is already bidding.
"Good stuff! Good stuff! Really a national treasure!"
"National treasure? No, no, this is not a national treasure. If you look closely at the style of the ancient mirror, you will find that this is not the traditional style of China, but the style of ancient Japanese utensils." An expert on cultural relics said: " However, the ancient Japanese culture was deeply influenced by our country of China. The difference is relatively subtle, and it is normal for you to fail to recognize it.
"Japanese? How come to China?"
"Then I don't know. But I heard that Miss Wang Meimei had just returned from Japan, maybe it was she who came back from Japan. Well, all the Chinese cultural relics have been lost abroad. Today, foreign cultural relics have entered China. Well done! It seems that these children of the family are not simply knowing how to eat, drink and have fun, but they still have some use." This cultural relics expert looked at Wang Meimei more and more pleasingly.
"Feng Lao, what's so precious about this cultural relic?"
"This cultural relic should actually have a very close relationship with our country of China." Feng Lao replied: "First of all, this kind of copper mirror that can transmit the pattern on the back of the copper mirror is called a light-transmitting mirror, but it is the ancient copper mirror in China. A great invention is recorded in the middle of the instrumental articles of "Mengxi Bi Tan" by Song Kuo in the Song Dynasty.
Speaking of his enthusiasm, he began to recite the original text of "Mengxi Bi Tan": "The world has a light guide, and the inscription has an inscription... To learn the daylight, then the essay... is all on the wall, It’s clear...the Yu family has three lessons...they are all the same...there is the same light penetration, although the others are as thin as possible. The ancients don’t have their own skills..."
After reciting, he explained: "Shen Kuo said that this kind of light-transmitting mirror can reflect the text and patterns on the back on the wall, which is very clear. There are other ancient mirrors with the same shape in his house, but only this side can transmit light. No matter how thin it is, it can’t transmit light, so it should be a special technique of the ancients."
"So can modern technology reproduce this technology?" someone asked.
Feng Lao shook his head:
No. There are two collections of Transparency Museum in China’s Modu History Museum. These are the translucent mirrors of the Western Han Dynasty. There are words on the back. For "seeing the light of the sun, the world is bright", they are all valuable national treasures. Some experts have tried to study and copy, and the results have failed. Unfortunately, they can't do destructive analysis of cultural relics, so in the end it is still worth it."
Everyone's mouth suddenly closed.
Technology cannot be reproduced, which means that the value of this thing is quite high. Not to mention its historical value, only its own technical value, it is inestimable.
In the past, because there were only two national treasure-level collections, I did not dare to do destructive research, but now it is different. After all, this thing is not a Chinese cultural relic, but a foreign cultural relic. It is also a national cultural relic with a long history of hatred and resentment. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed.
All in all, Wang Meimei is really happy, everyone is praising her generosity:
"Such a treasure, even willing to donate to auction, this blood is deserved..."
"Alas, there are only three pieces of similar bronze mirrors in the world. Anyway, if you want to change me, I will be reluctant. If you want me to pay, it will be okay to make tens of billions of dollars, but I want to donate it. That's impossible!"
"Or is it someone else's Wang BRIC? You, you can't make Wang BRIC in this life."
"To see me, it is estimated that she is just like that. She must have come out secretly, and she still has to buy things back."
"Well, such a statement is quite reasonable. But, do you want us to cut him off?"
"Then forget it~EbookFREE.me~ This is too offending..."
"Hey..."
Some people laughed at the suggestion of Jie Hu instead. As for whether to cut off or not, it's hard to say...
However, the reaction of other people is not enough. The Japanese who were invited to come today are in a mess:
"Baga! Who actually sold all such national treasures to the Chinese people?"
"Damn it! The people who buy things are really non-nationals!
"No, no! This must be bought back!"
"You have to get something, but why do you have to buy it? We sold it to them cheaply, but in the end, we bought it at a big price. Isn't this the one who made the big Japanese pit?"
Some people were murderous, some were anxious, some were cold and cruel, and the overall atmosphere became the same.
As for Yang Chen, he was shocked and speechless! (To be continued.) Activate new URL
