Chapter 445: Ancient Monument

Dacheng Hall is the main building of the Confucian Temple, the face width is seven rooms, the depth is six rooms, about 600 square meters, a total of 50 Nanmu pillars support, it is rare in the country, it can be called the wonder of the world. Inside are very intact preserved golden silk nanmu, now the market value is huge, the edge of the plaque is also brushed real gold, the production process is exquisite.

According to the description of the coffin, his own temple is only the size of this Dacheng hall.

Despite this, whether it is historical value or cultural value, it is far inferior to this Dacheng Hall.

"Is this kind of inscription also valuable?" Ye Mei couldn't help but ask.

Here, for the collection of antiques, the whitest should be her, who has never been in contact with it at all. This kind of inscription is to carve braille on the stone, and in her opinion, it should not be very valuable, right? At most, it has research value.

However, looking at Brother Hu's expressions facing them so squarely, it seems to be very valuable!

The Song Dynasty, and its previous inscriptions, are not easy to preserve to this day. In the antique industry, it has always been rare and expensive. In the auction market, millions of ancient monuments are not nothing. Hu Yang informed.

He explained that in recent years, the demand for inscriptions in the collection market has increased, which has caused the price of inscriptions to rise.

The value of the inscription is mainly reflected in several aspects: age, rarity, volume, historical allusions, and the author's fame.

"There are usually three years of the stele, that is, the writing age, the inscription of the stele age, the rubbing age, the first two are basically not too long apart in time, the usual so-called stele age refers to the rubbing age, which can be determined according to the inscription and collection seal of the stele itself. Generally speaking, the earlier the rubbing, the more worthy of collecting. ”

The greater the value of the historical documents of the rubbing. For example, if you can clarify some important events in history, or you can clarify some important mistakes in history, the higher the artistic level, the greater the value, and of course, the higher the price.

The larger the volume of the original stele and the more inscriptions, the higher the value of the stele post.

The author's fame is easier to understand, and the price of the inscription from the hands of the famous artist is higher than that of the nameless one.

"Is the inscription so valuable? Isn't this piece also worth millions?" Ye Mei stared at the inscription in front of her, shocked.

Hu Yang smiled dumbly, and after a while, he corrected: "I didn't say that this tablet is worth millions. In fact, this piece is not very valuable. Just now, I mentioned rarity.

First of all, we have to understand a few concepts – re-engraving, re-engraving, ancestral copy, unique book, rare book, and rare book.

The re-engraved book is to re-engrave the proof-checked base, and its line layout can be the same as the original original, or it can be different; although the re-engraving is also a re-engraving, the re-engraving is according to the original style of the original copy, not only the number of words in the line is the same, but even the obscure characters and the surname of the engraver are also re-engraved; the counterfeiter makes up a text according to the information on the book, and then writes and engraves it is a pseudo-engraved book, which is worthless.

The earliest engraved or rubbed copies of books or inscriptions are the ancestral copies of the ones that came out of the later books; the solitary book refers to the inscription that only exists now and has no other copy; the rare book is the original rubbing version that is relatively rare or precious; and the rare book refers to the inscription that was engraved earlier and circulated less.

The piece we see is a later reprint, and the original version should be collected. So, it's not worth much. ”

"Equivalent to a high imitation. Andy said his own understanding.

Hu Yang nodded: "Well! That's pretty much what it means." ”

If the inscriptions, murals, and the like are not valuable, why did the great powers at the end of the Qing Dynasty prefer not to have ancient Buddhas, but also to get rid of the murals on the walls?

"The inscription is very valuable, we have a temple in Japan, and we have a collection of half of the ancient monument of the Tang Dynasty, and some collectors bid 100 million yen, but they have not been able to convince the love. The persimmon also said.

Half an ancient monument is worth 100 million yen? If you convert it into RMB, that's more than 6 million!

Anyone who has watched Brother Hu's live broadcast knows that the integrity of cultural relics is very important, and if it is broken, the value will be very different. The ancient monument is the same, only half of the inscription is lost, and the value is naturally greatly reduced.

However, even so, it is worth six or seven million.

Other people have more or less come into contact with more valuable treasures through Brother Hu, but Ye Mei has not, she has been stunned when she heard the words of the persimmon, she has never heard that the ancient monument can still be so valuable.

The audience in the live broadcast room was more concerned about whether the half of the Tang monument was plundered.

Seeing the people in the live broadcast room discussing this matter, he looked a little embarrassed. The temple she was talking about is more famous in Japan, and there are many Chinese cultural relics hidden in the temple, all of which were brought back during the war.

There is no need to speak, everyone has already guessed the truth of the matter by looking at the expression of the persimpress, and a round of scolding must be indispensable.

Fortunately, everyone just scolded the Japanese and did not target the persimmon, so that the persimmon's expression was relieved.

Populus euphratica is not good at saying anything, if you say that you hate it, you must hate Japan. The Chinese's hatred for the Japanese is not just as simple as plundering precious cultural relics, but that they created the inhumane Nanyi Beijing Massacre.

The British, French, and Russians should have taken the most good things, but how many people still hate them now?

This kind of emotion, venting to a friendly Japanese girl, doesn't seem to have any grace.

Hu Yang had no choice but to change the topic and tell everyone that when the stele first appeared, it was not for engraving. I'm afraid few people know about this.

"In the beginning, the monument had three functions: first, to observe the time and measure the direction through the shadow of the sun's movement; second, it was erected in the appropriate position of the palace temple, and there was a hole in the monument called 'piercing', through which the rope could pass through and tie up the animals used for sacrifice; third, it stood in front of the tomb, and there were holes in the monument for penetrating the rope to lower the coffin.

Because the stele is mostly erected on solemn occasions, people gradually use the stele to record merits and events, and the stele in front of the tomb increases the function of recording the life and deeds of the deceased, and gradually becomes the stele of the real meaning of later generations.

Since the Han Dynasty, in addition to providing information for historical research, the stele has integrated calligraphy, carving, literature and other arts, and has high ornamental and research value. ”

They didn't notice that there was someone listening to them not far from them.

At this time, the man came over: "Young man, you said that this is not a replica of the original? This is impossible, I remember that the manager here introduced that the historical relics here are all real." ”

Well?

Hu Yang and the others were stunned: "Are you sure?"

The uncle smiled and said, "I should be asking you, are you sure this is a copy? ”

In his opinion, Hu Yang and several people are not very old, what do they know? Can they see that they are replicas? He just heard that this young man was seriously saying that it was a copy, and he was not happy in his heart, and he couldn't help it for a while.

Hu Yang nodded: "I'm sure, this is a high imitation, don't believe it, you can ask again." ”
