Chapter 119 Jade Book
According to the treasure hunting instrument, the value of the sheep fat Yuko Gang is about $ 500,000.
"What about you?" Lao Ji looked at the objects in his nephew.
I saw that it was also made of jade.
I don't know who the old nest has been out of the three people just now. If it is not surprising, it should be a Chinese family who likes to collect jade.
"This is the jade book." Lin Yuan said slowly.
The old uncle and Henry were a little embarrassed because they couldn't read all the words on it.
However, this jade volume is composed of 10 jade boards in front of it, with 28.2cm in length, 12.8cm wide, and 0.8cm thick.
The homepage and the last page are filled with gold and littering cloud dragon patterns. The remaining eight pages have three pages of Chinese text. Five pages are full of texts.
The jade panels on each page are perforated and connected with yellow ribbons to form a volume. Each page is separated by a bright yellow brocade mat.
"What is written?" Henry asked.
Heaven can't help voicing: "Aren't you Chinese? Can't understand?"
Henry's self -defending: "There are too many Chinese characters, it can't be remembered. Besides, this is estimated to be the legendary traditional Chinese characters, I don't even understand it!"
It's already amazing that he can learn a little simplified Chinese.
Lin Yuan said: "This is the emperor's jade album of Emperor Shizhang.
It is said that there were four jade volumes of the Shunzhi Emperor presented to the Ancestral Temple in history.
Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong have all done. Among them, Kangxi and Yongzheng made one volume, while Qianlong formulated two volumes.
The volume in front of me is finely engraved in Manchu, but the Chinese part is slightly sparse and not neat. This style was common in jade albums in the early Qing Dynasty, and the posthumous title was engraved accordingly.
This should be the original posthumous book of Emperor Shunzhi that Emperor Kangxi personally presented to the Ancestral Temple.
"It's a bit like ancient Chinese bamboo slips," Henry said.
He had watched some Chinese costume TV dramas. In China, paper had not yet been invented to be valuable, so they just used bamboo pieces to write on and then turned them into volumes.
Lin Yuan nodded, it was indeed made based on the bamboo slips.
During the primitive society, before writing had yet to be formed, and there were no bamboo slips and paper as carriers of writing, people recorded their daily lives in the form of images on stone walls.
Even if there were writing utensils such as bamboo slips, wood slices, and hemp paper, the method of engraving the lettering on the stone was not abandoned. It's just that you have changed an expensive material -jade.
After polishing the jade into a thin piece, decorated with important documents, and edited into a book in order, there is a precious book that can be passed on to the ages -the jade book, which is also called "jade strategy".
Lin Yuan added: "However, the ancient jade album was not affordable by ordinary people, so it was often related to the emperor. For example, when the emperor seal the Zen sacrifice, the jade book will be buried to the world.
The emperor's ascendant, the prince and concubine, and the record of the royal family will also use the jade book. "
According to his knowledge, the Ming and Qing royal family attaches particular importance to the jade book, and one is used as government affairs, such as a book or a fixed number; Works; there is also a type of Buddhist jade book.
The calligraphy, painting, and text on the jade album are all very exquisitely decorated. Some are written directly with gold and gold, and some are engraved and filled with color or inscribed with gold. The inscribed gold should be of the best quality. It not only has the brilliance of gold and jade, but also has a long lasting effect. Preserved for a long time, a book will be passed down forever.
"Like this jade book, it describes the achievements of Emperor Shunzhi's life and Shunzhi's March 18th Geng Yue Shuo Yue on the 24th of the temple and nickname of Guiyi.
Everyone should know that items that have a relationship with the emperor are usually not ordinary.
This jade album is worth at least one million dollars. "Lin Yuan finally made a conservative estimate.
David and others: "..." Another million-dollar start?
Is this money made too quickly?
They can't imagine that at this speed, it seems easy to earn a small goal!
At least it's not difficult for their boss.
They only got 1,000 US dollars to make a thousand times profit, and their scalps went numb just thinking about it.
They do not understand that the jade albums of the Qing Dynasty were often made of blue jade, jasper or white jade. In addition to the use of the book, there are jade poems engraved with the text of the Qing emperor's poems, praises, records, and questions.
The jade albums produced by the court of the Qing Dynasty were only used and collected by the palace. The number of them was extremely limited, the amount of depository was very small, and the value of the auction and collection was extremely high. The treasures of the country.
This jade book is worth millions of dollars, which is a matter of course.
But to be honest, if it was from the Qianlong period, it might be better and of higher value.
Although Qianlong was often criticized by future generations for being a prodigal son, a sealing maniac, etc., it cannot be denied that many handicrafts during his reign reached their peak.
During the Qianlong period, the value was significantly higher.
Take jade albums as an example. There are many exquisite jade albums from the Qianlong period, including many exquisite Buddhist jade albums.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Chong believes in Buddhism, and he can issue orders according to his intentions and promulgate the decree. From the palace where he lived in his lifetime, the gardens that were usually played, the dying palace, and the temples of the country and the whole country, all changed under his "imperial decree".
Emperor Shunzhi once said that although he believed in Buddhism, he did not allocate huge sums of money to build temples, which meant that worshiping Buddhism was just his personal behavior.
Compared with Emperor Shunzhi, Emperor Qianlong has practiced his belief in worship Buddha from both personal behavior and national behavior.
When the power of the country is used to do one thing or one thing, it will be great.
And Emperor Qianlong, he couldn't move to promote one thing with national power, such as creating the same thing. That's it. At that time, his artworks were often very exquisite, almost the extreme.
"There are a lot of people over there, should we go and take a look." Paul pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked at the direction he was pointing. Indeed, a large group of people gathered together, and seemed to be fighting for something.
"Forget it, even if there is treasure, if we rush over, it won't be our share!" Lin Yuan said.
He has treasure hunting skills, so there is no need to get together with those people, lest he discovers the treasure and has to compete with those people.
The old uncle's different ideas: "Look at the past, those people find treasures, we can still pick up."
He had already reaped the benefits just now.
Isn't it just picking up at a low price?
Although there are many people who come to hunt for treasures, there are even more people who have eyes but cannot recognize treasures. Even if they find treasures, they do not know it. Like the three people just now.
Lao Yan felt that instead of going to treasure hunting for his own hard work, it was better to collect others and spend some money.
David and others nodded.
Everyone ate sweet.
Lin Yuan thought for a while, and the minority obeyed the majority.
"Okay! Then go over and take a look."
