"Okay, then you two can look at it casually, you can call me if you have a favorite object. The waitress said with a smile, her voice was very sweet, pure Yanjing accent, and then she returned to the counter, took out a jade ornament the size of a baby's fist and wiped it carefully.

Zhang Junyi is very satisfied with the waitress's service attitude, Zhang Junyi really doesn't like to follow a person in his ear when he buys, which really affects his shopping mood.

When you enter the store, you will be greeted by a booth about one meter high, on which a jade cabbage carved entirely from jade is placed, and the image is really lifelike.

Seeing that Zhang Junyi was attracted by the jade cabbage in the booth, Guo Liyang on the side asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Ayi likes this jade cabbage very much?"

"Hehe, Brother Yang said with a smile, people's jade cabbage symbolizes the meaning of wealth, as the so-called gentleman does not take people's love, I don't want to destroy people's fortune because of an object. “

"Yo! It seems that Ayi is quite knowledgeable, even if the carving is good, it is just a modern handicraft, and it is not a high-end material from the perspective of the materials, but the carving looks pretty good, but Ayi, there is an allusion about the jade cabbage, can you tell you a good story with my brother?"

"It's still not bothering Brother Yang, I happened to hear this allusion brother. Zhang Junyi replied with a smile.

is indeed more than this allusion to jade cabbage, Zhang Junyi really heard experts say it in the show in his previous life.

"Yes, buddy, even know that. Although Guo Liyang knew that Zhang Junyi was interested in collecting, to be honest, he really didn't expect that Zhang Junyi would be clear about some allusions.

If it weren't for his father's previous work in the Ministry of Culture for a period of time, because of the nature of his father's work, Guo Liyang had read a lot of documents about cultural relics and collections in the study, Guo Liyang would not have been obsessed with this hobby at a young age.

"Hehe, I just happened to hear it, compared to Brother Yang, it's really far behind.

It is said that during the Guangxu period, when Concubine Jin entered the palace, she sent a chief of the Qianqing Palace, two eunuchs of the head of the worship room, and the chief eunuch of the palace to the concubine's house to welcome them into the palace.

Concubine Jin and her sister Concubine Zhen were both promoted to concubines, and because Concubine Zhen was resentful of Cixi, they were reduced to nobles. Later, the Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated her 60th birthday, and Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen were promoted to Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen together.

After Xuantong abdicated, he was honored as the concubine of Duankang Emperor. Concubine Jin has been in Yonghe Palace for more than 20 years, paying attention to food, entertaining herself with calligraphy, waving danqing, and watching bonsai. On Concubine Jin's fiftieth birthday, Mei Lanfang and other famous Peking Opera actors were specially invited to perform in the palace. Concubine Jin died of illness in Yonghe Palace in the thirteenth year of the Republic of China at the age of 51.

Soon after Concubine Jin's death, Feng Yuxiang mutinied, Pu Yi left the palace, she was not frightened, nor did she suffer from bumps, and ended her life peacefully.

When you say Guangxu Emperor Jinfei, you must say jade cabbage. "Jade cabbage" is listed as one of the top ten treasures of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, with a height of 18.7 cm, a width of 9.1 cm and a thickness of 5.07 cm.

This jade cabbage is made of a piece of semi-green and half-white jade as the raw material, with green as the vegetable leaf and white as the vegetable gang, the color is natural, similar to the cabbage, and the leaf is carved with two mantis (zhōnɡ), which is the insect of the locust class - there are animals on the plant, which is not only vivid, but also means many children.

The carving on the jade adds to the cultural meaning of this jade cabbage. But strictly speaking, the material of jade is not the best choice, because there are cracks and patches in the material, and if it is used on bright and elegant decorative jade such as bi and bracelets, it is a flaw.

However, the craftsman cleverly chose the theme of cabbage, and appropriately used the jade material, the distribution of the natural color of the raw material, so that the cracks are hidden in the curved leaf edges and leaf veins, and the cracks and patches have also become the elements that distinguish different water senses, so that the cabbage seems to have suffered from frost, and the natural imperfection of jade, showing the perfection of art.

Jade cabbage is a dowry of Concubine Jin's mother's family when she married Emperor Guangxu.

Because it is a dowry, this jade cabbage has a multicultural meaning:

First, the cabbage with green leaves and white stems implies innocence and symbolizes purity;

Second, the mantis and locusts on the tips of the leaves imply fertility and bless the bride with many children;

Third, the homonym of "cabbage" is "to put wealth", which means to increase wealth.

The natural color, artificially carved jade, symbolic concept and rich meaning of jade cabbage have won people's universal love and become a rare treasure. ”

Zhang Junyi completely copied the allusion about jade cabbage that he heard from an expert specializing in jade identification in his previous life on the TV show, this allusion was told in Zhang Junyi's mouth very organized, the story was vivid, not to mention that Guo Liyang next to him was very surprised to hear it, even the waitress who was wiping the object looked up at Zhang Junyi in some surprise.

However, Zhang Junyi and Guo Liyang didn't notice the abnormality of the waitress, after the topic of jade cabbage passed, the two looked at the objects in the counter of this store, starting from the first counter at the door, Zhang Junyi and Guo Liyang began to look carefully in front of the counter.

But after watching the counters one by one, Zhang Junyi's heart was a little disappointed, because there were not many customers in the store, Zhang Junyi took a look at a few counters, and most of the jade jewelry here were jadeite materials.

According to the text introduction in the sign in front of the jewelry, these jade materials are basically low-grade materials, and do not meet the conditions for Zhang Junyi's heart to buy, even if there are a few pieces of non-jadeite materials, most of them are antique jade, although the carving looks very particular, but because of the problem of materials, the price of jewelry is still greatly limited.

However, although most of the modern handicrafts are placed in the store, Zhang Junyi has gone crazy and has not taken a fancy to any of them, no, a white jade dragon pattern jade pendant imitating the Qing Dynasty has entered Zhang Junyi's eyes.

In the Qing Dynasty, the economic prosperity promoted the development of jade craftsmanship, and the most prosperous era in the history of ancient Chinese jade appeared.

Looking at the introduction of the sign placed in front of the jade pendant, although this imitation of the Qing Dynasty's white jade dragon pattern jade pendant is only imitated, it is also from the hand of a very famous carving master of the northern school today, and the materials are also called high-quality Hetian jade.
