Episode 251 Rationale

"The first emperor is unified, and it is the seal of the order, and Li Si has a small seal and his text, which has been passed down from generation to generation."

It is so precious that it has been captivated by the ages.

"Gold inlaid with jade seal rock, facing the Phoenix Terrace, the earth spirit people Jie Duo, blessing from Jing Mountain."

For thousands of years, this is the praise and praise of the people of Nanzhang to their hometown.

Nanzhang folk also have the saying that "jade is not divided", which is derived from the texture composition of He's bi.

It is said that labradorite is a kind of plagioclase feldspar of the silicate feldspar family, generally white, vitreous luster, look at a certain direction on the surface, sometimes you can see blue-green, purple-red, golden and other hues, plagioclase usually uses the percentage content of An molecule to represent the composition of plagioclase, labradorite is a neutral plagioclase, An content of 50-70%, pure and beautiful color plagioclase can be used as a gemstone, because labradorite can flash in a certain direction like the sun spectrum of the colorful and named "spectrolite" This is just a special optical effect, and deviations from this direction may be difficult to observe.

"Pu" is an unprocessed rough stone, and Pu often has "skin", some of which form a "containing structure" when the jade is metamorphosed, wrapping the good jade in it, and because it becomes a boulder, the shell is rust-colored and wrapped in the water flow, which is dyed by oxidation or iron.

In 1921, the geologist Mr. Zhang Hongzhao affirmed that He's bi is a moonstone produced in the mafic rock of Jingshan area, that is, labradorite, and believes that "He's bi is a labradorite with the nature of gemstones, with a green and white flash, and can only appear when it rotates in a certain direction".

This is also what distinguishes Heshibi from the "white and flawless" Hetian jade.

Chu historians and geoarchaeologists are unanimously inclined to this theory.

Some people also say that He's Bi is turquoise, Lantian jade or jadeite, turquoise has been produced in northwest Hubei since ancient times, the surface color is good, but there is no "color blue" and "color white" change (color change), the quality is brittle.

Moonstone (labradorite) has a poor surface luster, "mostly pure" (that is, the jade is covered with soil or stone), after polishing, it can be refracted and colorful under sunlight, and the quality is not brittle.

Yuan Hao asked "On Poetry Quatrain": "Shaoling has its own city, and the knowledge of fighting for Nai Wei is 碔砆" (碔砆, a stone like jade, that is, a stone, a stone wrapped in jade).

A kind of stone produced in the area of Dongjiatai in Leiping, Banqiao Town, Nanzhang is labradorite, after mining this stone is processed, it is transparent, the luster is good, and there is an intuition about the description of He's Bi in the history books. And turquoise has been decorated by the ancients in China as early as the late Stone Age, and it is impossible for the court jade workers in the Spring and Autumn Period not to know it.

"Lantian jade" (produced in Shaanxi) has good color, stronger toughness than turquoise, it has been famous in ancient times, but the texture is not as good as plagioclase, it is widely used in ancient times, and it is impossible to be like "He's Bi" as "rare and expensive". As for jadeite (ancient Chinese bird name, later borrowed to refer to jasper) is not credible, the famous British historian of natural sciences Dr. Joseph Needham once believed that after the 18th century, jadeite was imported from Myanmar to China, known as "jadeite" abroad, and China borrowed the name of the bird, and jadeite also has the reputation of "the king of jade". In fact, as early as the late Neolithic period, China has emerald jadeite made of arrowheads, the jade handle of the Zhou Dynasty, the jade of the Han Dynasty has been unearthed many times, and there are many jadeite products in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many ancient classics.

Although Dr. Lee's conclusion is untenable, it does not yet conclude that Ming He's bi is a jadeite product. Therefore, He's bi can only be plagioclase.

These research results, without exception, have nothing to do with the Lingbi Stone, but now it is good that the Lingbi Stone has emerged.

Kowloon is also curious, since they have a clear brain, they can make the impossible possible, there must be some ironclad evidence.

Huang Guofu seemed to be confident, and only after everyone quieted down did he list the research results one by one:

First, analyze geographically.

Bian He was a Chu person, and he won Bibi in the mountains of Chu State, and then hugged Bi and cried at the foot of Jing Mountain.

It can be seen that Bian He's home Jingshan is not far away, Jingshan is in the territory of Huaiyuan County, Anhui Province, and Huaiyuan County has been under the jurisdiction of Suzhou in history.

However, jade has never been produced in Jingshan, so this piece of jade should be obtained from the nearby mountains, and in the surrounding hundreds of miles, only jade is found in the stretching mountains north of Lingbi and centered on Qiyun Mountain. Lingbi belonged to Chu at that time, and it should be said that He's Bi was obtained here.

Lingbi ancient city originally four gates, the south gate said "Wangjing", that is, climb the south gate can see Jing Mountain, the north gate said "come to Bi", which can also prove that the Lingbi stone at that time, people are used to call it Bi.

Written in the Spring and Autumn Period, "Shangshu Yu Gong" contains: "The five colors of the earth are the only ones in the Gong, the feather and the summer Zhai, the Yiyang solitary tong, the Sibin floating chime, and the Huaiyi concubine beads and fish." "Sibin floating chime is also the earliest classic record of Lingbi chime.

Second, it is analyzed from the characteristics of jade. After the Lingbi multicolored stone was unearthed, it was covered with mortar red stains.

Therefore, it was mistaken for an ordinary stone by two generations of Chu kings, and Bian He's legs were broken.

"He's Bi" has the appearance characteristics of stone, and has the warm connotation of jade, fine and moist, which are in line with the significant characteristics of Lingbi colorful stone.

Judging from the custom of making jade seals and seals for thousands of years in the Chinese nation, golden yellow, purple, and five-color should be the meaning of wealth and auspiciousness, especially the five-color is the most glorious, and the five-color stone of Lingbi stone in Suzhou, Anhui Province conforms to this characteristic.

The Song Dynasty poet Fang Yan Shiyun: "Lingbi is a stone in the world, and the sound is like bronze and jade."

Therefore, the Lingbi chime stone was carved into the earliest musical instrument in China by ancient craftsmen, and became a symbol of national imperial power as a sacred product of royal music in successive dynasties.

Third, use the elimination method to eliminate them one by one.

Historically, there are different theories about the stone of Heshibi, some say that it is turquoise from Hubei, some say that it is Hetian jade from Xinjiang, Lantian stone from Shaanxi, etc.

Because the characteristics of jade can be seen at first glance in all gems and jades, judging from the fact that the two generations of Chu kings regarded He's bi as an ordinary stone to treat Bian He's crime of bullying the king, it can exclude the jade that has the characteristics of jade in the world.

Judging from the national strength of Qin and Chu at that time, it was easy to get a piece of turquoise or Hetian jade.

Therefore, only the appearance of Anhui Suzhou Lingbi stone - colorful stone is rough and dull, it is difficult to see that it has the characteristics and value of gem and jade, and only after breaking and complex technological processes can it be seen that it is precious.

To sum up, the heirloom jade seal "He's Bi" is the Lingbi colorful stone.

Welcome the national Lingbi stone lovers and people from all walks of life to care about this matter, this major discovery for research and demonstration, put forward valuable opinions, so that the Lingbi stone "Anhui business card" has been scientifically protected, reasonable excavation, effective use, and finally can go out of Anhui, to the whole country and the world, shine.

After Huang Guofu finished his introduction, he deliberately paused for a few seconds, maybe he was waiting for applause, but the scene was surprisingly calm, everyone look at me, I look at you, and then buried his head in eating and stopped talking.
