The chrysanthemum-shaped gold bowl, lotus pattern silver bowl, bucket hat silver bowl and other utensils unearthed this time have been found in Mian, Yang cellar, De, Yang cellar, Fu, Jianshaowu, cellar and other places.

On the chrysanthemum-shaped gold bowl, there is clearly a chronological model of "Shaoxi", and "Shaoxi" is after 119o.

From this, experts deduce that the upper limit of the age of Pengcheng gold and silver artifacts should not be earlier than the "Shaoxi" period, and almost all the artifacts show obvious characteristics of the Southern Song Dynasty, and its lower limit will not be later than the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But the age of the utensils is not necessarily the time of the cellar, what prompted the owner to bury this batch of precious treasures?

Hasty "cellaring" often involves hiding things in jars, wooden boxes, or even burying them directly in earth pits.

However, the gold and silver wares of Pengzhou are buried in a regular brick room, the utensils are placed in a neat and orderly manner, most of the utensils are still wrapped in gauze, and the precious gold utensils are packed in a large silver bowl, and when they are put into the cellar, they are also put in order of first large and then small, and some of the same shapes overlap together.

‘

The brick chamber is just the size to hold all the utensils, leaving no large space, and it is buried more than 2 meters underground.

This shows that the owner has plenty of time when he goes down to the cellar, and he does not panic in the slightest.

Experts now, in a large number of gold and silver wares appear "Dong", "Dong House" and other inscriptions, it is estimated that this should be the owner of this batch of gold and silverware, a large family surnamed Dong.

Despite the extravagance of the Song Dynasty, the common people took pride in having a few pieces of gold and silverware, and were able to own such a large number of fine gold and silver objects. Obviously, "Dong" is a family with high social status and financial resources.

Ordinary social events will not have much impact on these huge families. The reason why they had to bury their precious gold and silver artifacts in the ground must have been the Yan zhòng incident that they could not control and predict.

Many clues make the expert's thinking gradually clear.

After the "Shaoxi Reform", Pengcheng did have an incident that was enough to make the local rich leave in a hurry and bury the treasures.

In the third year of Duanping in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1236, the Mongol iron cavalry occupied most of the Song Kingdom, and people fled in a hurry.

What comes to mind is such a scene: a large family surnamed Dong in Pengcheng learned the news of the Mongol soldiers going south in advance, and expected that Pengcheng would fall sooner or later. So he buried the gold and silver that had accumulated over the years, and wanted to take it out after the war.

But what I didn't expect was that when the Mongol soldiers arrived, after the family was slaughtered or fled, they never had a chance to come back, but left the modern people with physical materials to the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, the most accurate speculation still needs to be supported by more historical data.

Although the provenance of this batch of cellars is roughly deduced. But new questions arise one after another.

Since it is a cellar, is this Dong family only these more than 350 pieces of gold and silverware?

If you can afford to buy so much silver, don't you have the strength to buy gold?

You must know the difference between gold and silver, just like the difference between Santana and coupe now, among large households. It is absolutely impossible to live without gold.

Moreover, judging from the present state of the cellar, it is clear that this cellar is incomplete.

Judging from this time, the owner of this batch of gold and silver objects at that time was very well prepared. The fact that they were able to hide their belongings in their entirety in the cellar shows that they left in peace.

Since that's the case. A large family, the things left behind are naturally incomplete, like women's ornaments, naturally they can't all be gold and silver headdresses, at least bracelets, rings, earrings or something.

There are also silverware that is obviously incomplete, like some tableware, only silver bowls are present in this batch of cellars, and others such as cups, spoons, chopsticks, wine utensils, etc., are not present.

Therefore, even if the family does not have the ability to buy too many gold objects, there will definitely be silver objects like the ones mentioned above.

With such a question, the staff of the Peng City Museum were excited, and they quickly gained something.

The site of Pengcheng's gold and silver wares has now become a bustling commercial area, and the Qing Dynasty was the site of the temple, which is no longer available until then.

This time, it was because of the urban renovation project that there was an accident, so when they cleared the entire construction site, it soon appeared again.

It was obvious that the place was also a cellar, but the next thing was to pour a bucket of cold water on them.

The cellar was present, but it was an apparently damaged cellar, and this cellar was right next to the cellar that had been accidentally discovered by the workers.

If it weren't for the care of the staff, who found some special soil for caulking, they would not have been able to show the cellar, which had been completely destroyed.

With a goal in mind, they quickly cleared the general location of the cellar.

Only then did they realize that the destroyed cellar was separated by only one wall from the intact cellar, and it was clear from here that it belonged to the same underground building.

What happened next, even more frustrating, they cleared out four cellars one after another, plus the one that was intact, it should be five.

The cellars were arranged in the shape of plum blossoms, all of which were close together, and by this time no one doubted that there were originally five cellars here.

Now that this fact has been established, why were the other four cellars destroyed?

At the site of the investigation, it is clear that the four cellars were destroyed recently, and there are obvious signs of man-made, which indicates that the four cellars were systematically excavated and then deliberately destroyed.

At this time, everyone had a clear understanding of this matter, but at this time, as the result of Pengcheng's investment promotion, the person in charge of the patriotic company had disappeared without a trace.

And the huge amount of one billion yuan that this group of people just started to hit the account of the construction company of the renovation project has also been emptied for various reasons.

At this time, everyone understood that this patriotic company that came to his hometown to make contributions was likely to be a tomb robbery gang.

Sure enough, with the in-depth investigation, all the personal information of the group was forged, and their company, money, and business dealings were all real, but the companies associated with them had all been drained of funds at this time and had become an empty shell.

At this time, the case-handling personnel had a kind of understanding again, and they were facing an extremely powerful and well-organized tomb robbery syndicate, and such a gang would naturally be able to smuggle.

With this judgment, everyone's hearts were cold, just one cellar cellar, there were more than three hundred and fifty pieces of gold and silverware, and how many treasures were in the other four cellars?

At least a thousand pieces, this is the conclusion that all people have come to by sorting out the destroyed cellars and analyzing the intact cellars.

Thousands of pieces of gold and silverware are enough to support a large museum, and no one can afford to lose such a loss, so Pengcheng attaches great importance to it, and since then, they have started a trail for 11 years.

Over the years, the Pengcheng city government has spent a great deal of effort, from monitoring the changes in the international smuggling market to collecting information on major smuggling gangs in China, it can be said that as long as there is any news about gold and silver antiques, they will pay attention.

It was under such strict monitoring that this batch of gold and silver objects disappeared directly for eleven years.

It was only recently that a very large smuggling gang was wiped out, which caused another group of people to gradually surface.

These scared criminals finally couldn't help but come forward.

The next thing is the black market auction that Han Peacock personally participated in.

With the recovery of this batch of gold and silverware, Pengcheng gold and silverware can be said to be famous all over the world.

"Pengzhou gold and silverware represents the highest level of gold and silver ware in the Song Dynasty." This is the evaluation of Xu Fang, a famous professor at Modu University, on the gold and silver cellars of the Song Dynasty in Pengcheng.

Among these rare treasures, the inscriptions on the gold and silver vessels have become a rare material material for the study of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty.

In particular, the silver pot with a new lotus lid slipping shoulder, this silverware represents the highest level of manufacturing in the Song Dynasty, and can be selected as a fine cultural relic of Chinese archaeology, and will be the treasure of the Pengcheng Museum in the future.

Among this batch of more than 1,500 pieces of gold and silverware, nearly 85o pieces are now identifiable and have inscriptions, accounting for seventy percent of this batch of gold and silver objects, which is extremely rare in Song Dynasty cellars.

In the inscriptions, the names of craftsmen, manufacturers, and manufacturing places such as "Luo Zuichiro", "Wang Jia Zao", and "Sijie Chen Jia" only appear on a certain type or set of utensils, indicating that the division of labor at that time was already very detailed, and a workshop only created one or a few gold and silver items.

More importantly, many gold and silver wares are marked with fineness and weight, such as "Yuan Jia Shifen", "Note a pay weight of 3 picks and one tael", etc., which shows that people's pursuit of quality in ancient times is as good as that of modern times.

These inscriptions are left on the utensils by means of guò engraving, embossing, and engraving, all of which reflect the dignity and cherishment of the holder.

In Pengcheng gold and silverware, in addition to the two types of ornaments such as gold hairpins and gold hairpins, the rest of the utensils are containers and various tableware.

There are 15 categories such as bowls, plates, cups, pots, bottles, etc., and there are more than three percent of the gold and silver ware, and there are vivid patterns as decoration, which shows that the gold and silver ware of the Song Dynasty has been widely used in the people, and the decoration has become secular, and no more attention has been paid to the decoration.

In terms of the craftsmanship of making zuò, although most of the gold and silver ware in Pengcheng are made by private workshops and individual gold and silver craftsmen, the workmanship is very fine, and the various techniques of gold and silver manufacturing in the Song Dynasty are almost reflected in the gold and silver ware of Pengcheng.

In addition, in this batch of gold and silver artifacts unearthed, many items are engraved with inscriptions with the word "official", these utensils are complex in shape and exquisite in craftsmanship, and should be the products of government workshops.

This was already very advanced in the manufacture of gold and silver in the Song Dynasty, and it is not surprising that Pengcheng, as the core area of the early activities of the ancestors, appeared so many exquisite gold and silver objects.
