The book uses the collections of himself and the world's major museums as examples, and discusses in detail the shape, types, evolution, development, materials, manufacturing, and decoration techniques of steel swords.

The island countries and Europe and the United States have quite complete research on their own weapons, while the traditional swords, especially the steel swords after the Han Dynasty, are not only almost not paid attention to abroad, but also very little research at home.

In the national museums, it is almost impossible to find representative collections of other dynasties, except for a very small number of steel swords from before the Han Dynasty and after the Qing Dynasty.

The sword is the coldest weapon, representing war and killing, and is hated by the literati. So for thousands of years, there are very few people who collect it, especially in ancient times, under the imperial power, who dares to hide the murder weapon at home?

Do you want to rebel?

Shen Huanwen shook his head and said helplessly: "In the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum, the Paris Military Museum, the Royal Ordnance Bureau of Leeds, the Shitennoji Temple in Osaka and the Shosoin Temple in Nara, there are all displays of our precious weapons, and they have even been well studied. ”

"In contrast, our own domestic museums are very unsatisfactory in terms of quantity, type, information description, and even display maintenance, which is embarrassing. ”

Pick up the invitation again, look at the date, and suggest: "Think about it, I haven't seen my old friend for ten years, if my brother has time, let's go around together?"

Su Yuan nodded and agreed without hesitation, called Xu Kui, and agreed directly without saying a word, and the three of them agreed to go to Hong Kong Island the day after tomorrow and go to Wanjian Villa!

Su Yuan went through the formalities in advance, consigned three Yuan numbers, and the three of them took a plane, and soon arrived on Hong Kong Island, Shen Huanwen contacted each other, and the luxury Mercedes-Benz directly picked them up and came to the huge villa in the middle of the mountain.

As soon as he entered the hall, an old man in white greeted him, with a childish face and a strong spirit, pulling Shen Huanwen and saying with a smile: "Brother Shen, for ten years, don't come unharmed?"

"Brother Huangfu, I haven't seen you for ten years, and your demeanor is still the same. Shen Huanwen laughed, he was very happy to see his old friend, and turned around and introduced: "This is Master Su, the strongest swordsmith in Longquan, the top of the heavenly list!"

Huang Fujiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "Huang Fujian has seen the master, and he has admired the name for a long time, like thunder. ”

Su Yuan said politely: "I grew up watching your senior's books, and I still call me Su Yuan, otherwise it will really torment the juniors." ”

Huangfu Jiang nodded secretly and said with a smile: "In this case, let's talk about the Tao with a sword, and intersect with each other, how old am I stupid, how about calling my brother?"

The three of them laughed, introduced Xu Kui again, sat down one after another, and began to drink tea and chat. Huangfu Jiang took Long Yuan with both hands, excited, studied for a long time, and couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of cutting thirteen steels, and the magic weapon that falls nine shots, it is better to see it than to hear it, and it is worthy of its reputation!"

Huangfu Jiang knows the level of the heavenly list, and has known the Shen family for many years, the strength of Danyang and Qinghua is obvious to all, and Long Yuan can stand out from the crowd, especially the nine hairs, which is simply a legendary miracle.

After watching Longteng Longwei, he turned around and took down an ancient sword from the wall, with flat shoulders and straight body, narrow blades and thick ridges, and there was a mistake in the blood groove Yin Yunwen displayed: "The old decay has a collection of thousands, and my favorite is this Sui sword, which is called Baiyun." ”

"In 2004, I saw this near-perfect Sui iron sword in Liulichang, and after buying it for 20,000 yuan, it became my favorite. ”

Closing his eyes, he gently touched the ancient sword with his hand, and said obsessively: "I have nothing to do, and I like to use my hands to feel the flowing water and cirrus cloud-shaped patterns on the sword body the most." Unfortunately, most of the ancient swords that have been handed down are rusty, and some antique dealers and even collectors often carry out mechanical polishing or chemical treatment to make the pattern unrecognizable. ”

"I am most opposed to machine grinding, swords before the Yuan Dynasty were often too long and the rust was too thick and should be avoided, and only a little surface treatment could be applied to prevent the rust from continuing to penetrate. ”

"And if the ancient blade of the Ming and Qing dynasties is not too deeply corroded, the sword body can be derusted and polished with conditions, and it must be ground by the master himself. ”

"In my opinion, the traditional sword with Indian and *** swords, Malay swords, island katana and Western swords, and is known as the world's five most famous swords!"

"Longquan swords are mostly soft swords, flexible, tough and sharp. Although it is not as dangerous as the Persian saber, it uses the horse's running speed to make people's heads invisible, and it is not as domineering as the katana, holding the sword in both hands, and doing everything in its power with every blow to try to kill. ”

"The sword pays attention to holding the sword with one hand, elegant and invisible, and overcoming rigidity with softness. In the duel of masters, the point of the sword is mostly a vital part rather than a fatal part. A sword breaks the opponent's wrist and shoots down the weapon, that is, he retreats and retracts his hand, and returns the sword into the sheath, so as not to put anyone to death. ”

After listening to Huangfu Jiang's pretense, Shen Huanwen put down the teacup and quipped: "I haven't seen you for ten years, you still like to talk about it?"

"You ......" Huangfu Jiang was in high spirits, and was just about to point out the country, when he suddenly faced a basin of cold water and said: "Hmph, you are still the same old after so many years, and you can't chat with the cold king!"

Looking at Su Yuan's expectant gaze, he said helplessly: "Hey, speaking of the Proton knife, it is the pain of my life!"

"Qianlong Imperial Tianzi No. 17, Proton waist knife first appeared in the Munich auction of Hermann Company in Germany in 2005, and the estimated price was only 6,000 euros that year!"

"There has also been a great debate about authenticity and value both inside and outside the collecting circle, and I am one of the few who have researched and decided that it is worth the money. asked my sister to bid by phone, and the psychological price of 100,000 euros was given, thinking that it was inevitable. ”

Unexpectedly, more than 70 bids were made in less than two minutes, and the price climbed nearly 20 times from the starting price of 6,000 euros, and a private German collector won it for 120,000 euros. ”

"On April 10, 2006, the knife appeared again in the special auction of Proton Longsheng - Qianlong Treasure and De'an Tang White Jade Collection held by Sotheby's Hong Kong Island Auction Company, and finally sold for 46.04 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"It not only set a new world auction record for imperial crafts, but also set the highest price in the world at that time, and also drove the ancient sword collecting craze in the next few years. ”

Thinking of this, Huang Fujiang touched his chest with his hand, and said in pain: "Missing is the pain of breathing, Shen Lao Er, can you really not open which pot to mention!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Su Yuan asked, "Then now the Proton knife ......?"

"Hmph, in the hands of the richest man Ma's father!" Huangfu Jiang said angrily: "People are rich, willful, and obsessed with martial arts. I heard that CCTV was filming the rivers and lakes back then, and he found the director, and he wanted to play a heroic style. ”

"Let out a bold statement, as long as you can act in a clean style, no matter how much investment, a word of things! Fortunately, the director still has ethics, otherwise Master Feng will be famous for ...... life."

Ali Papa?

Su Yuan suddenly realized, to say that Ma Yun likes martial arts is already a household name, and he didn't act in a clean style back then? Now people are directly throwing money, finding more than a dozen martial arts stars, investing in their own games, and promoting traditional martial arts in the name of beauty.

The wolf warrior of Tai Chi is looking for teeth all over the ground,

Haibian generation grandmaster Huang Feihong,

In the end, even Ip Man knelt down and called Dad,

That's what it's called,

Rich

Wayward!
