Yu Yao smiled bitterly, and said in his heart You don't know yet, the missing corner of this little jade seal was originally in my hand!

Cai Pengxi then asked, "How did you get this little jade figure? The other party actually didn't cherish it, so he made a move?"

"Old man, think about it, what would be the first thing that ordinary people think of when they see this kind of jade?" Yu Yao asked rhetorically.

"Well, first of all, I don't know, and that often comes down to the local jade species. ”

"Isn't that it? However, this little jade figure is not circulating in the market, it was just unearthed in the Central Plains Province, and it was obtained by a shovel of land, and I bought it from him!"

"No wonder! I have been visiting this jade for a long time, but I have found nothing!"

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Old man, there is one more thing I should tell you about." Fortunately, they haven't signed a confidentiality agreement with the Special Antiquities Investigation Bureau yet, and they just requisitioned my things. ”

Then, Yu Yao told him about the small jade block with a missing corner.

Lang Xiankun's old collection of small jade seals can actually match the small jade block, and Cai Pengxi is an oral heirloom of local characters, which should indeed be said.

This can be regarded as a matter of their "inside the Ghost Eye Gate", and Cai Pengxi will definitely not spread it.

"What?" Cai Pengxi was startled at first, and then muttered, "This is not a bad thing. The strength of the Special Cultural Relics Survey Bureau is certainly greater and broader than ours. ”

"Yes, and I still have this little jade figure in my hand, and I have the bottom, we can also check it, and it is not contradictory, so I agreed. ”

Cai Pengxi nodded, "Since two have been found now, maybe there is a third one······"

"It's best to be able to discover something new. But I feel. Otherwise, we wouldn't have heard of it, and they wouldn't have cherished it so much. ”

Cai Pengxi said, "There are some things that are very deeply hidden in the people. Although it is definitely not much, it is not necessarily none. ”

Yu Yao thought to himself, this also has some truth. For example, how many people know about the "Jing Ke Assassination King of Qin" Yuan blue and white jar in the secret collection of the Ghost Eye Gate?

"We can meet at any time, and we can't be in a hurry. Cai Pengxi took a sip of tea, "Don't leave at noon, stay and eat." ”

"I didn't have a meal in the first place, just right. Yu Yao responded, "By the way, how is Mr. Cai lately?"

"Mr. Cai?"

"Your grandson, isn't he the artistic director of Han Tang?"

"You didn't say I forgot to mention it, I have to thank you, this kid has indeed changed, at least he cares more about me. Cai Pengxi showed a warm smile, "He went to Myanmar, otherwise I would have called him here." ”

"Go at this time, Jade Gongpan?"

The Myanmar Emerald Fair has been held twice this year, once in the summer, and soon in the winter, also in Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar.

"Public market, their company has a special person to participate, and now it is basically clear materials, and the tools are so advanced, there are not many gambling stones. He was on vacation, purely private, to pick up some old hoarding materials. ”

"I've heard that private materials are not easy to get out of the customs!"

"The owner of the goods has their own way, after looking at the goods here, they are responsible for customs clearance, and then the payment in China is cleared. Cai Pengxi said, raised his hand and shook it, "By the way, this kid gave me something before leaving, which happens to be a jade seal! ”

"Good. ”

Cai Pengxi put away the jade box and left the living room, and Yu Yao also put away the little jade figure.

When he came back, Cai Pengxi took another exquisite brocade box, which was much more than the jade box.

Yu Yao opened it and saw that the texture was yellow jade, carved into a seal.

"Yellow Wax Stone?" Yu Yao glanced at it twice, and then said in passing.

"Yes, it is basically the same as the yellow wax stone of Hezhou jade in Guizhou Province now, and it is more delicate than the yellow dragon jade in Yunnan Province. Cai Pengxi responded.

Yellow wax stone from Hezhou, Guizhou Province, along with other colors of similar jade, such as lychee jelly, is now named Hezhou jade. The main component of yellow wax stone is silica, that is, the base of quartz, which is similar to the composition of Huanglongyu produced in Yunnan Province.

However, the history of Hezhou jade yellow wax stone is much earlier than Huanglongyu, at least in the Ming Dynasty, and Huanglongyu was only discovered at the beginning of the 21st century, because the composition is basically yellow wax stone, and it is produced in Longling, so it is called Huanglongyu.

Yu Yao nodded, and began to pick up the square seal to look at it carefully.

It turns out that this is not a seal, but a seal!

The square base, the bottom edge is more than three centimeters, the height is also about three centimeters, the carving is a coiled dragon button, the head of the dragon is slightly raised, the coiled body, the scales and the tail of the dragon are carved extremely finely.

Moreover, this jade seal, looking at the year, is much earlier than the Ming Dynasty. Yu Yao took a closer look, and felt that the year could reach the Western Han Dynasty!

How could it be possible to make jade seals from yellow wax stone in the Han Dynasty?

Yu Yao looked at the inscription at this time, the small seal, and the middle was separated by a Tian character grid.

Emperor Wen's letter seal!

Hmmm? That's even more wrong!

Before Qin Shi Huang, the private seal of the ordinary people can also be called the seal, and after Qin Shi Huang became the emperor, the seal became a special reference, and only the emperor's seal was.

During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, it was mainly one side of the jade seal, and in the Western Han Dynasty, in addition to the jade seal, there were six other parties: the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's letter seal, the seal of the Son of Heaven, the seal of the Son of Heaven, and the letter seal of the Son of Heaven.

Known as the "Seven Seals".

Different seals have different uses, such as the emperor's letter seal, which is used by the emperor to recruit and dispatch civil ministers and military generals.

If this yellow wax stone jade seal is the emperor letter seal of the Western Han Dynasty, then there is only one Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, which is Liu Heng, the son of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

However, it is impossible for the emperor letter seal of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng to carry the word "Emperor Wen"!

Because Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is Liu Heng's nickname. In fact, his nickname is "Emperor Xiaowen", but the emperors of the Han Dynasty have a filial piety in front of their names, so they are generally omitted.

In the history of China, there have been hundreds of emperors. Nowadays, in addition to the name, the title is probably inseparable from three ranges: the year name, the temple name, and the name of the name.

Qianlong is the name of the year, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is the name of the temple, and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is the name of the emperor.

Among them, the name of the emperor was posthumously sealed by later generations, and the temple name is the name of the emperor who was enshrined in the temple, which is the name on the tablet. These two will only be available if they die.

The era name is the name of the era used after ascending the throne. When the emperor was alive, he could only know his own era name.

Therefore, although this seal is the "letter seal of Emperor Wen", and the year can also reach the Western Han Dynasty, it cannot be the jade seal of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

Yu Yao put down the jade seal, stood up, and lit a cigarette, "Old man, this is really worth discussing." ”

Cai Pengxi smiled, "This kid said that I have a seal in my name, and it is the most suitable for me to give it, but he didn't elaborate on how to get it." However, in my opinion, it is always right to be in the Western Han Dynasty!"

"That's right, it's something from the Western Han Dynasty. Yu Yao nodded.
