If the price could be cheaper and the craftsmanship was simpler, chimes would definitely be more popular. Even so, their status would be deeply rooted in the world's percussion world.

After reading this set of chimes, Chen Wenzhe's spirit became less focused, mainly the bronze ware behind it, which was a bit worse than the chimes.

Until he saw several bronze square Yi, this thing is Zong Yi? It is Fang Yi!

my country's wine culture has a long history, and there are many types of wine containers that have emerged here.

"Fang Yi" is one of them.

Fangyi was a wine-filled utensil in ancient my country, and was popular from the late Shang Dynasty to the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Yi was originally a common name for bronze ritual vessels, and the Song people first called this type of vessel Fang Yi.

my country's bronze ware is exquisitely made and enjoys a high reputation and artistic value among the world's bronze ware.

This represents the superb technology and culture of bronze development in my country over 5,000 years.

From the late Shang Dynasty to the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the heyday of the development of bronze ware. The utensils were diverse in shape, thick and solemn, the inscriptions gradually grew, and the patterns were complex and magnificent.

The bronze square Yi unearthed in Xishan County in 1955 is a typical representative of the square Yi in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The production date of this artifact was from the time of King Zhao of the Western Zhou Dynasty and King Mu, and is now in the National Museum.

Of course, there are many ancient tombs unearthed from Zongyi, but the common appearance of this type does not mean that it is not precious.

Chen Wenzhe looked at a photo. Zong Yi was taken in this photo. He was 22.8 cm tall, 14.4 cm wide, 10.9 cm deep, 9.6 cm weight and 3.6 kg.

The rogue is like a drinkware of a scoop. Of course, it is definitely not an instrument here, but an official position, an official position that is even higher than Sima and Sikong in ancient times.

The bronze square Yi in front of me has elegant and solemn shapes, meticulous patterns, clear layers, and extremely artistic appeal. This is definitely a successful work among bronze artworks of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The bronze square Yi is a wine container, and the whole container is composed of two parts: the body and the cover.

The body of the instrument is rectangular, the body cavity is hollow, and there are elephant nose-shaped ears on both sides of the abdomen, the ring foot is high, and the base edge is extravagant and the shape of a step;

The cover is made of four-A-style roof-shaped buttons, and four-A-style roof-shaped buttons are disposed in the center of the central ridge;

The middle ridge of the vessel cover, the four slope angles and the four corners of the vessel body are placed on the door edges.

The whole body of the vessel is made of cloud and thunder patterns. The body of the vessel and the middle of the vessel cover are decorated with vortex patterns, and the Kuilong patterns are decorated with both sides. The curved patterns are decorated with on it, and the curved patterns are decorated with the ring foot of the vessel.

The whole instrument has a solemn and elegant shape and gorgeous decoration.

The overall shape reflects the architectural structure of the four-sided slope and heavy house at that time, allowing people today to have a glimpse of the architectural style of the royal palace of the Zhou Dynasty.

The entire surface of the instrument is full of patterns. The most eye-catching is that the center of the instrument cover and the belly of the instrument are decorated with circular vortex patterns composed of vortex patterns and cloud patterns.

This pattern is exactly the same as the main pattern of the rogue Zun, which makes people wonder whether it is a clan logo.

The curved pattern is decorated above the round vortex pattern of the cover, and the Kui pattern on both sides are.

The neck is decorated with a curved band around it, and there are two concave grooves under it.

The abdominal pattern is similar to the cover pattern, and is also a combination of circular vortex pattern and Kui pattern, and fills the ground with cloud and thunder pattern.

The ring foot is decorated with a curved band, which is also separated from the belly of the instrument by two grooves.

This piece of Zong Yi has 10 lines and 108 characters in the inner wall cast inscription, which records the "restinct" of the King of Zhou in August of a certain year.

It is recorded that it is the same clan of the King of Zhou.

The King of Zhou ordered the ruler to take charge of the military and military affairs of Situ, Sima, Sikong, Zhou Liu Division and Yin Eighth Division.

He also gave him generous rewards such as clothes, jade pendants, chariots and horse decorations.

Therefore, the evil spirit is used to remember his honor and favor and praise the emperor's kindness.

The official position of the reign was above the Sanyousi, which was equivalent to some of the duties of Mao Gong Dingqiming mentioned in the reign of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It can be seen that the lord was an important official of the generation at that time and had a very high status, which could make up for the shortcomings of Shi Yi.

The bronze square Yi of the Bronze Yi is the earliest written record of military farming in my country. It is an important physical material for studying the social, political, economic, military, and calligraphy art of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The decoration of the Lu Fang Yi uses floating withering techniques to create rough and bold cultural decorations. The main and secondary relationships of the decoration are clear and the levels are very clear, achieving excellent artistic effect.

Its exquisite and mysterious decorations, thick and solemn body and inscriptions organically merge them through casting, recreating the glory of the bronze casting industry in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

No wonder such a bronze ware was taken out separately to burn inscriptions to commemorate, mainly because it was too important.

"I grant the princes a title and give it to Zongyi!"

This is the importance of Zong Yi. He was a token given by the emperor or a ritual vessel during the period of the vassal of the princes!

This kind of thing rarely appears in the market, and Chen Wenzhe only knows one thing.

It was the only Guoji bronze ware that could be circulated in the market.

I believe that many friends who love cultural relics and art have seen a heavyweight bronze ware - Guo Jizi Baipan in the National Museum of my country.

As a treasure of the museum, it is also the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from going abroad to exhibit.

Another object that is comparable to its status has recently appeared on the market.

Recently, Sotheby's grandly launched the famous bronze heavy artifact in the metal and stone world - the Guoji family's sub-group pot.

This famous bronze ware is the Yi of Guoguo Zongyi in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It not only has extremely rich sources, but also is a rare famous tool in the world.

So, what is the origin of this Guoji bronze ware that is known as the only circulating in the market?

What kind of experience did it have before entering the market?

What kind of bronze ware can enter the market? Then we need to have a comprehensive understanding of this bronze heavy ware and the story behind it.

The status of Guo Ji's sub-composed pot in the world is extraordinary. Why can this Guo Ji's sub-composed pot be taken to attract such great attention from both inside and outside the industry?

First of all, we must know the bronze ware of Guo State. Guo State was an extremely important vassal state in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its king was connected with the blood of the Zhou royal family and had a high position and a high position and a powerful position.

Five names of Guo states have appeared in historical documents: Western Guo, Eastern Guo, Southern Guo, Northern Guo and Small Guo.

The Western Guo and Eastern Guo were enfeoffed in the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

Xiguo is located in Yongzhou, now in Baoji, Shaanxi, and Dongguo is located in Xingyang County, Nanhe Province.

The Guo State culture represented by the bronzes of the Guo State was an important part of the Western Zhou culture.

Among the bronzes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the bronzes of the Guo State are famous for their majestic shapes, exquisite patterns and exquisite casting craftsmanship.

Anything you take out is a top collectible, such as the Guo Jizi Baipan collected by the National Museum of my country mentioned earlier.

The Guoji family is an important family in the Guo State, and is a branch of the Guo Shu family, the founding king of the Western Guo State.

It played an important role in the political situation of the Western Zhou Dynasty, especially in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the Guoji family appeared successively, including Duke Xuan of Guo and Duke Wen of Guo.

They played a powerful role in the ruling pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
