Chapter 380: The Tang People Write the Scriptures

"Gao Guyu is like this, especially before the Xia Dynasty. In the Hongshan jade, many jade pieces have not been decorated!" The young man lit a cigarette in his hand, "You don't need to put a smoke screen, since you have taken a fancy to it, my lowest price has also been reported, do you want it, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?"

This guy is really straightforward. Maybe it's almost the New Year, and I try to get out as much as I can, change more money, and don't want to press the goods.

Yu Yao saw that he would not descend again, so he nodded and took down this "large stone needle" for 8,000 yuan.

Leaving this stall, I also left the stall area.

Originally, I promised Lao Huang to go to his store to sit before leaving, but this is all lunch, and there is a suspicion of rubbing rice in the past, Yu Yao and Shen Ge discussed it, planning to have lunch nearby first, and then go over in the afternoon.

During the meal, Shen Gecai asked Yu Yao in detail about the situation of the "large stone needle".

"This should be the taper of the Liangzhu culture, the late Neolithic period, the out-and-out ancient jade. It's just that the jade quality is really not good, and the ornamentation is not the classic animal face pattern, human face pattern, god pattern or something of Liangzhu culture. The reason why I won it is because I have not collected Liangzhu culture jade. ”

"Well, it doesn't seem like a big leak. "Shen Ge interface.

"Yes. Liangzhu jade, with good jade quality, ornamentation, and carving, is easy to pay a high price, but this cone-shaped ware is about 20,000 yuan. This young man is a clever man, and it is estimated that because he received it cheaply, he was in a hurry to make a move to get eight thousand. Moreover, he may not be sure that it is Liangzhu culture jade. ”

"Then what is this thing for?" Shen Ge asked again.

Yu Yao scratched his head, he hadn't thought about this question in detail, and even in the academic world, there was no conclusion.

Because there are holes, it may be ornaments, such as necklaces, waist ornaments, or things like hairpins, and then it is used for sacrifices, but the cones are relatively slender and elongated, not like displays, but the ancient books have recorded the sacrificial method of "holding jade by hand".

It may also be a tool, and it is unlikely that it will be used as a "stone needle", because the prismatic mouth is not conducive to fitting, but the lower end is sharp, and it can be used for deboning. Or, it's not impossible to use it as a needle tool.

In short, there are many possibilities, and it is difficult to say for sure. There are almost no written historical materials in the Neolithic period, so it can only be inferred from the artifacts.

"When I look back at the ornamentation, I might find something new. Yu Yao finally said.

After eating, the two returned to the antique market and first walked around the shop area. During the period, I also passed by Liu Datou's Ya Play Pavilion, but the door of the store was closed.

When he came to Lao Huang's Yimo Zhai, Lao Huang was making a phone call at the door, and when he saw Yu Yao and Shen Ge coming, he quickly hung up the phone and beckoned them in.

After chatting for a while, Lao Huang smiled and asked Yu Yao, "Those two are not sensible, but you, too, have you picked up the leak?"

Yu Yao said briefly, and Shen Ge then took out the jade rabbit and let Lao Huang look at it.

Lao Huang thanked him, and asked while looking at it, "How is Old Shen's body?"

After Shen Ge responded, Lao Huang happily praised them for their talent and beauty.

Yu Yao originally wanted to sit for a while and leave, but Lao Huang then asked solemnly, "There is a thing, I don't know if you can give it to the palm of your hand?"

As soon as he heard him say, "There is Zhang", Yu Yao smiled and said, "In terms of calligraphy and painting, Lao Huang, you are an expert, I will at most follow and appreciate it." ”

"Isn't it modest?" Lao Huang stretched out his hand and nodded twice, "However, it is not a calligraphy or painting, but a volume of scriptures." ”

"Scriptures, a volume, aren't they written by the Tang people?" Yu Yao immediately picked the most famous one to ask.

"Insight is knowledge, then please!" Lao Huang got up and let Yu Yao and Shen Ge into the room.

What Lao Huang took out was a scroll more than 20 centimeters wide and more than two meters long. Not one, to be exact, but a cut, incomplete.

Yu Yao took a look, it was indeed the jute paper of the Tang Dynasty, after a long time, the paper has been like a withered brown leaf.

The font is proficient and dignified, and the regular script reveals subordination.

The scriptures are a small part of the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra. The Great Prajnaparamita Sutra was originally Sanskrit, and was translated into Chinese by Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty, with a total of 16 meetings and 600 volumes. In the Tang Dynasty, it was common to copy the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra by hand.

"Lao Huang, how did you get here?" asked Yu Yao as he looked at it.

Yu Yao faintly felt that this was very similar to the batch of scriptures that were found and flowed out of the Dunhuang scripture cave more than 100 years ago.

In 1900, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Taoist priest Wang Yuanqi cleaned up the sand, and found the Tibetan scripture cave, which actually contained more than 40,000 pieces of cultural relics such as Buddhist scriptures, documents, embroidery, silk paintings, etc., which contained a large number of Tang people to write scriptures.

At that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, the local officials and the people with the face, did not realize its value, the Qing government did not protect effectively, most of the cultural relics in the cave were taken away by the "expedition team" from various countries, and finally only a small part, about 10,000 pieces, the Qing government sent people to escort to the capital.

But in the process of arriving in the capital, there were still about 2,000 pieces missing! For various reasons, there were both internal and external thieves.

"I received it!" Lao Huang introduced, "Someone brought it to the store two days ago. ”

"Lao Huang, I think, this is a bit like the Tang people writing scriptures that flowed out of the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave. Yu Yao simply pointed out.

"It's not like I don't accept it! I've seen a lot of pictures and videos, yes. Most of those scriptures went abroad, and a small number of them went to the Chinese people; however, they were all things that happened in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and as long as they were inherited in an orderly manner, there was no big problem. ”

"So, who is the owner of the goods?" Yu Yao asked again.

"It's an old lady, and she said that the old man left it when he was alive. Lao Huang said, "I also specially asked my children if they agreed, and she said that a son and a daughter had already sold what the old man left behind! She also remembered it when she cleaned up a few years ago, and said that she simply sold it and bought some New Year's goods. ”

"They don't know the goods!"

"After all, there are a few people who know the goods, and if the jute paper is rolled into a roll, how can ordinary people think it is a good thing?"

Yu Yao nodded and continued to examine the scriptures, but as he looked at them, his face became heavier and heavier, and finally his brows furrowed.

Lao Huang noticed something strange on the side, "Why can't you get to Tang?"

"This paper is no problem, and the font feels like a Tang style, but this ink color doesn't seem quite right. Yu Yao was not too polite to Lao Huang, "How much did you charge?"

"It's not expensive, a few thousand dollars. If there is a problem, you can just say it, and there will be no big loss. ”

"I feel that this is like an old imitation of the Republic of China, and it is likely to be the ultimate imitation!" Yu Yao finally said.

Lao Huang was stunned, "What is the ultimate method?"
