Ge Qingyun said: "To tell you the truth, the quality of my collection of Song carvings "Tongjian Chronicle" may not be very good, but I think it should be comparable to the value of this night pearl, I don't know what Mr. Meng thinks?"

After all, the ancient books of Song Carving are relatively rare, and there is such a large piece of Night Pearl, even if this small sample is transferred to Ge Qingyun, it will not hurt, so Meng Zitao has nothing to hesitate about, and immediately agreed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Subsequently, the group took a car to Ge Qingyun's house, because everyone was not familiar with Ge Qingyun, and the antique transaction was more or less private, they went to Meng Zitao and Dajun.

Ge Qingyun is a relatively talkative person, and along the way, he chatted a lot with Meng Zitao.

To be honest, Meng Zitao felt that Song Keben's "Tongjian Chronicle" was also very precious, and if the condition was slightly better, the preciousness would not be inferior to his night pearl sample.

As for whether it was because the quality was too poor, Ge Qingyun would propose an exchange. Meng Zitao felt that this was unlikely, because Ge Qingyun should know that if the quality was too poor, he would not agree, and it was a complete waste of time.

Ge Qingyun's explanation is also simple, he said, there are not many priceless treasures in the world, and these priceless treasures are either collected in museums and cannot be bought with money. The rest of those that are collected in the private sector can be bought, and they are not worth millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, so there is no need to talk about it.

But then again, in our country, how many people can take out millions to buy a treasure without affecting their normal life? Not to mention taking out a few million, there are not many people who can pay off the full amount of a house with hundreds of thousands of dollars at once.

Ge Qingyun said that if he bought it with money, he wouldn't be able to take out so much money in his hands to be able to buy the Night Pearl. Although "Tongjian Chronicle" is also very precious, the status of Night Pearl in his heart is higher than that of "Tongjian Chronicle", so he made this decision.

Ge Qingyun took Meng Zitao and the army into his house, and when Meng Zitao entered the house, he found that it was a two-story house, and he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Ge, this is a duplex structure in your house, right?"

Ge Qingyun explained with a smile: "People usually refer to all non-flat-storey houses as duplexes, but in fact, there is a strict distinction between two-storey houses like this. ”

"In fact, the duplex house does not have a complete two-story space, but is actually a mezzanine in the middle of the higher floor, arranging bedrooms or study rooms, etc., and connecting the upper and lower floors by stairs. However, the state stipulates that the inner space is higher than 2.8 meters before the house area, so you must pay attention when buying. ”

"And my house, in fact, is called a duplex, the house occupies two complete floors above and below a building, only a main entrance on the lower floor, bedrooms, living rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other auxiliary rooms can be arranged in layers, there is a partition between the upper and lower floors, connected by a small staircase. ”

Meng Zitao said suddenly: "Oh, it seems that the duplex house I used to think is actually a leap, and this time I have long knowledge." ”

Ge Qingyun took everyone to the living room and said, "I think it's because some salespeople deliberately spread wrong views, which has caused misunderstanding among ordinary people. ”

Meng Zitao understood the meaning of Ge Qingyun's words, if the salesperson introduced the wrong point of view to the consumer, when the consumer bought the duplex, it was completely possible to play tricks on the area and price.

Ge Qingyun invited Meng Zitao and Dajun to sit down, and poured tea for the two: "Wait a while, I'll go and take down the things." ”

"Okay. ”

Ge Qingyun went upstairs to get something, Meng Zitao looked around, and found that there were several places around the living room where photos of Ge Qingyun's family were hung, including a few photos of Ge Qingyun dancing, so it seems that Ge Qingyun should be a dance lover.

After a while, Ge Qingyun came down from the stairs with a wooden box. Walking back to his seat, he first politely spoke, then opened the box, revealing dozens of ancient books in the box.

Ge Qingyun said that this set of "Tongjian Chronicles" has 33 volumes, which he obtained through a friend last year and has been appraised by experts.

The original "Tongjian Chronicle" has forty-two volumes, so this set of ancient books is not complete, but even if it is incomplete, it is quite precious if it is genuine.

After Meng Zitao got Ge Qingyun's consent, he put on gloves and carefully took out the ancient books in the box and began to identify them.

There are two surviving engravings of the Tongjian Chronicle: one is the book of Yanling County in the second year of Song Chunxi (1175). Thirteen lines per half page, ranging from twenty-four characters to three crosses, many words in the line are small, and later called the small character book, or the Yanzhou book. The second is the fifth year of Song Baoyou (1257) Zhao and Ben. Baoyou five years Zhao and Juhuzhou, suffering from its Yanzhou word small and false, in Yu fine such as Yun school, easy to be a big character, with private money re-engraved, that is, this book, later called the big character book.

This set of "Tongjian Chronicle" is the fifth year of Song Baoyou (1257) Zhao Heben, the quality is not bad, if it is genuine, and the value of his night pearl sample is still consistent.

This set of ancient books is a butterfly binding, the so-called butterfly binding, is to fold the side of the page printed with the text inward, take the middle seam as the standard, align the pages of the whole book, glue it to another piece of paper with coarse paste, and finally cut it neatly and bind it into a book.

This binding form makes people feel that the leaves of the book are fluttering like butterflies when they read it, so this binding form is called butterfly binding.

In fact, the books we read today can also be called butterfly suits. But in the Song Dynasty, this kind of binding appeared for the first time, and people felt that it was fresh, so it was given such a name.

The butterfly-bound version is one page, and there is no book mouth like a wire-bound book, and the text content is not easy to be damaged. However, since there is only a midseam connection, and it is glued with coarse paste. Therefore, if such a book is often flipped through, the pages will easily fall off.

This set of "Tongjian Chronicles" has such shortcomings, some of the booklets have fallen off, and they must be very careful when turning them over.

From this point of view, this set of ancient books does look like the real thing, not only these, but even some details are very similar to the real thing, after a cursory observation, Meng Zitao almost believed that this is the real thing.

However, when Meng Zitao saw the seal of a Ming Dynasty collector on the ancient book, he still showed a clue, because the real seal of this collector, he had seen it from his master, the difference was still relatively large, the style was different, and it must be fake.

Of course, in the actual appraisal process, it cannot be concluded that the ancient books must be wrong just because of this, but with this breakthrough, in the following appraisal, Mencius found more and more mistakes...... (To be continued.) )
