Chapter 499: Song Dynasty Go

To sum up, the Danshu iron coupon in Zhong Jinxian's hand, you have to say that the collection value is indeed there, but the value will not be very high, even if Meng Zitao wants to buy it, he will not spend a lot of money to buy it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Jinxian was just a strange look, and when he saw that the handwriting on it couldn't be seen clearly, he was not interested, he pouted and said: "It turns out that the Danshu Iron Coupon is this thing, and that's it." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Originally, you must know that after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the issuance of Danshu iron coupons has become a regular system, and all the founding fathers, Zhongxing heroes and leaders of ethnic minorities are given Danshu iron coupons, and even some favored eunuchs and eunuchs have also obtained them." ”

In addition, this is the Danshu iron coupon of the Ming Dynasty, and the coupon text of this period has changed significantly. The first is that rebellion is inevitable, and only other capital crimes are exempted; second, the number of deaths is less common, and the grandson is inevitably killed. So at that time, the Danshu iron coupon was not a rare thing, not to mention that this was still the lowest second-class earl iron coupon, and there was only one one. ”

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Yang Shoufa was very disapproving, and said in his heart: "If you want to buy my things, of course you can say whatever you want, hmph, but you have made a mistake, unless you kill me, otherwise the price is too low, and I will definitely not sell it." ”

Thinking of this, Yang Shoufa thought of many strong and unyielding historical figures, and for the sake of money, he believed that he would not be worse than them.

"Do you want this thing?" asked Chung.

"If the price is right, it's fine, but ...... Hehe. Meng Zitao nodded at Yang Shoufa, and then picked up a piece of porcelain and studied it.

Next, Meng Zitao identified all the porcelain in the box, and found that these porcelains were just works of the folk kiln, although they were considered to be a high-grade category in the folk kiln, but compared with the pair of flower pots, it was too far away, and the added up was not even one-tenth of the value of the flower pots.

For Meng Zitao, this is also harmless, it is already a lot of harvest to be able to get that pair of flower pots, and although the porcelain of these folk kilns is not too precious, it is not a good thing in the current market, at least it is no problem to take it back to fill the inventory.

When Meng Zitao saw the porcelain, Yang Shoufa couldn't help but ask: "Meng Shao, do you want this death-free gold medal?"

Meng Zitao said: "How much do you want?"

Yang Shou was ruthless: "At least 880,000." ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand: "In this case, we will definitely not be able to talk about it, I suggest you find someone to ask again." ”

Yang Shoufa didn't expect Meng Zitao to answer like this, and when he saw Meng Zitao looking back at the things on the other side of the box, he simply didn't ask, and said in his heart: "I don't believe it, without you Zhang Butcher, don't I have pork to eat?" ”

"By the way, this marriage has to be divorced immediately, otherwise the mother-in-law will know that I have a gold medal to avoid death, and it will be a big trouble. ”

Not to mention that Yang Shoufa was daydreaming there, Meng Zitao paid all his attention at this time to a pair of Go boxes in front of him.

As we all know, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are the "four arts" of ancient literati in China. Go is said to be Yao's work, and it is recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, it can also be said that it has the same longevity as the Chinese civilization of 5,000 years.

Historically, many military strategists and strategists in our country are masters of Go, and they use the chess theory of Go to arrange the layout of troops, and the famous Zhuge Liang is one of them.

It is rumored that during the Three Kingdoms period, in order to crusade against Wu, Liu Bei was defeated in the Wu general Lu Xun's fire for 800 miles, so Zhuge Liang arranged eight formations to prevent Lu Xun from entering Shu, and according to legend, Zhuge Liang used the Go strategy.

In addition, I don't know how many literati in the past dynasties were obsessed with Go, and at the same time left countless chess poems that have been praised by the world.

For example, Li Bai once wrote that "hundreds of thousands of homes are like a game of Go, and the twelve streets are like planting vegetables", using the chess game as a metaphor for the street. Du Fu, Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi and others also left behind ancient sentences related to Go.

Because of the prevalence of Go, the ancients were also divided into a variety of materials for Go, including stone, wood, jade, agate, crystal, ceramics, etc., and similarly, Go boxes are also of various materials, and some Go boxes are quite exquisite, inherited to the present, of course, they are also highly valuable cultural toys.

However, in the long history, the war and chaos made the ancient Go still alive today is rare, and the ancient Go in the Tibetan market today is mainly the products of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and most of the earlier Go have become the private collection of collectors and are not revealed.

Just like Meng Zitao, he also likes Go, and when he was in the company before, he played against netizens on the Internet when he had nothing to do. Although he lost more and won less, he also enjoyed it.

Later, because of the relationship between studying and often outside, although there is not much time to play Go, I still love Go, and I will play a few games when I have time.

It is precisely because of his love for Go that Meng Zitao is also very concerned about the collection of ancient Go, but there are not many ancient Go on the market, let alone high-quality products, so far, he has not found a favorite. Like his master, there were two boxes of Go pieces from the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and his eyes were hot, but unfortunately it was the master's heart, otherwise he would have asked for it cheekily.

Now the opportunity has come, the two boxes of Go in front of Meng Zitao, judging from the characteristics of the tire glaze and other characteristics, are the works of the Longquan kiln in the Song Dynasty.

Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty was a very prosperous historical period of Go in China, when not only literati and doctors loved Go, but also many enthusiasts appeared in the lower strata of society. According to the Song people's notebook novels, chessboards and chess pieces were common commodities in urban grocery stores at that time. The production of chess sets is to meet the needs of the market, so there are not only precious jade and crystal chess pieces, but also a large number of low-cost ceramics and glass chess pieces.

Sure enough, the box was opened, and Meng Zitao confirmed that the chess pieces inside were made in the Song Dynasty, but most of them were glazed chess pieces, and the size of these glazed chess pieces was very uniform, and there was not much error with the naked eye.

Meng Zitao took out the chess pieces and observed them carefully, and found that under the strong lighting, the brilliance of the glass chess pieces was different, the white chess pieces showed egg blue or light yellow, and the black chess pieces showed soy sauce color, some were crow blue, and some were almost opaque.

In addition, there are several ceramic chess pieces, with obvious molded patterns on both sides, like birds. The reason why these chess pieces are suppressed in such a shape may be related to the nickname "black heron" in Go.

Liang Xiaoyan of the Northern and Southern Dynasties once compared the othello cruising on the table to a crane and a swallow, and the Song people often used the black heron in their poems. Wang Zhidao's "Butterfly Love Flower" words: "The jade pattern catalpa is frequently compared to the road." Win or lose, rest and smelt gold note. The black-and-white spotted black heron ......" Hong Yan's "Chess Quatrain" has "the heron falls into the cold river and the crow points to the Ting, and the hail hits the chess in the clear window." ”

Although these chess pieces may not be as precious as jade, crystal agate and other materials at that time, they have also been selected by thousands of people, and they can be preserved until now, and not a single chess piece has been lost, which is very difficult, and Meng Zitao likes it very much.
