Chapter 1001 Rare Treasures

……

When he uncovered the thick silk cushion layer by layer of the spacer jewelry, a jade coffin made entirely of Hetian white jade, two meters long, 40 centimeters high, and 80 centimeters wide, with three lions carved on the surface, appeared in front of Liu Dong!

Although he couldn't see the contents clearly with the naked eye for the time being, through the relics Yuanguang, everything in the jade coffin was invisible in his eyes.

I don't know if the jade really has the effect of preserving, in this jade coffin that is completely carved with a whole piece of jade and sealed with an unknown material, the corpse is not completely decomposed, and even the appearance of the deceased can be vaguely seen before his death, but there are a lot of inexplicable black liquids in it, and Liu Dong, who has scruples, did not open the jade coffin!

In addition to the jade coffin, there is also a space separated by four coffins on the upper and lower left and right inside the gilded copper coffin!

Liu Dong first looked at the coffin space on the left, the space is not too big, the length is about two meters, and the width is nearly thirty centimeters!

There aren't many things stored in it, but there are only two of them!

One of them is a spear wrapped in soft silk, strictly speaking, this spear with a length of about 190 centimeters is considered short, except for about 30 centimeters long, and after more than a thousand years, it is still cold and clear, and the tip of the spear is as sharp as before, the swallow mouth and tail are pure gold tiger shapes, and the black and heavy spear body also has a delicate pattern engraved with a pattern.

And because of Liu Dong's relics and Yuanguang's relationship, the flag that was originally tied to this spear was not completely decayed. Although slightly old. But the length is almost 150 cm. On the 60-centimeter-wide flag on a black background, the three-headed golden lion with teeth and claws is still clearly recognizable!

If Liu Dong's guess is correct, this flag should be the military flag or national flag of the ancient country of Kangju!

This kind of thing that can become a national symbol is undoubtedly a national treasure!

However, this flag is not the only one, and there is another thing that is obviously more precious than it, because it is the 'scepter' that represents the royal power or imperial power, or even the papal power in Western countries

The scepter is a tool that symbolizes royal power and imperial power, and its status in China is equivalent to that of a jade seal! It is usually made of precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper.

For example, the one Liu Dong is holding at the moment. The length is close to 180 centimeters, the whole body is cast in gold, and the top squatting is completely made of the finest Hetian mutton fat topaz, Liu Dong is the first time to see this kind of high-grade mutton fat grade Hetian topaz, the texture is extremely delicate, and even after a thousand years, Liu Dong still feels extremely warm to the touch of his hand.

The whole piece of topaz, about the size of two adult fists, was carved into a three-headed lion jade carving, which was set on the top of a golden scepter.

It may also be to protect this golden lion jade carving, which is still like a Buddhist Zen rod on the outside. Three curved gold bars engraved with lotus petals are used in the center.

Three golden hoops meet two centimeters above the lion's head to form a thumb-sized circle, and the latter resembles a pyramid. Red diamonds weighing about 50 carats are set on it.

And on the scepter under the base of the three-headed topaz lion is a lotus-shaped relief, such a relief is a total of three, at a glance, as if three blooming lotus flowers are stacked together, very beautiful.

On the body of the scepter, which is about 150 centimeters long, there is a lion-headed human body, a three-headed and six-armed, a blue-faced fang, and a statue riding a tiger, which is obviously the three gods believed by the Kangju people.

Liu Dong had no way of knowing the specific identities of the three gods, but he was more concerned now that having these three god patterns obviously made the value of this scepter even higher.

Liu Dong, who looked excited and showed a look of cherishment in his eyes, carefully checked the golden lion scepter inch by inch, thinking that he had now entered the collection line, and the treasures in his hands were not less, but now the scepters in his hands were only two!

In addition to the last time he was in Burma, he obtained a golden scepter from the Treasure of Naving, and this is the second time he has obtained a golden scepter representing royal power.

Moreover, compared with the scepter of the king of Burma, this scepter, which represents the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions that mysteriously disappeared 1,600 years ago, is obviously more valuable.

Liu Dong couldn't put it down, and then he focused his attention on the space separated by the coffin on the right!

Compared with the golden scepter and royal flag on the left side, which represent the royal power of the ancient kingdom of Kangju, although the space on the right side is the same size, although there are more things in it, the value is undoubtedly much worse!

After digging for a while, two golden scimitars and a golden bow appeared in front of Liu Dong, but the bowstring was damaged because of the decayed relationship!

In addition to weapons, there are also gold plates inlaid with precious stones and more than forty centimeters in diameter; silver kettles and silver cups embossed with figures from the Western Regions; And there is also a silver vase with the image of the three goddesses in Greek mythology! and a golden statue of Zeus about 60 centimeters high!

Plus a piece of the wrong Jinbo mountain furnace that obviously has the characteristics of the Han Dynasty and is embossed with the image of a variety of exotic beasts!

Seeing these cultural relics with obvious characteristics of Eastern and Western cultures appear in the coffin where King Kangju stored his beloved things, Liu Dong was not shocked, but there was also something new!

Located in the center of the Silk Road, Kangju is a bridge between the East and the West, and it is so normal that cultural relics from the Han Dynasty and the Greco-Roman period appear in the tombs of the Kangju royal family!

"This is the Jade Plate Book? Great, I just love this kind of stuff with a literal heritage! ”

When Liu Dong turned his gaze to the coffin space with a length of 150 cm and a width of 45 cm on the top of the jade coffin, the lacquer box that was originally beautifully packaged but now obviously decayed a lot appeared in front of Liu Dong after opening, with a length of 20 cm and a width of 10 cm, and a thickness of no more than 3 cm per page!

These jade plates, which are polished and smoothed with Hetian white jade, are completely in accordance with the ancient Chinese way of writing, from right to left, from top to bottom, with about 198 ancient official books engraved in the shade!

That's right, it's the ancient Lishu of the early Han Dynasty, not the ancient Luwen that circulated in Central Asia!

Turning it over, there are three big characters in Gulishu - "Han Feizi"!

"Han Feizi" is a collection of works by Han Fei, a famous thinker and legalist during the Warring States Period. This outstanding thinker, philosopher and essayist at the end of the Warring States period is known as one of the two people who most captured the essence of Lao Tzu's thought!

Han Feizi combines the "law" of Shang Ying, the "technique" of Shen Bu and the "potential" of prudence, and is the culmination of Legalist thought; Han Feizi integrated Lao Tzu's dialectics, naïve materialism and law. Han Fei is the son of King Han, a student of Xunzi, and a classmate of Li Si. He is the author of the book "Han Feizi", with a total of 55 articles and more than 100,000 words. It is unique in the prose of the pre-Qin princes, showing that Han Fei attaches great importance to materialism and efficiency, and actively advocates the theory of absolute monarchy, with the purpose of providing the absolutist monarch with the idea of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

Of course, like many famous works of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Legalist classic "Han Feizi" is not the work of Han Fei himself, but edited by later generations after Han Fei's death!

Liu Dong looked at this jade version engraved with "Han Feizi", and his heart was very happy!

The earliest "Han Feizi" that has been handed down today is only a copy of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and now this jade engraving in his hand directly pushes time forward by more than a thousand years!

It is completely incomparable in preciousness!

What's more, in addition to about 200 pages of "Han Feizi" engraved in ancient Lishu jade, there is also an annotation of "Han Feizi" by Gu Yu Lu Wen!

In addition to this Legalist classic "Han Feizi", Liu Dong also found the famous Chinese military classic "Sun Tzu's Art of War" here, but unfortunately it is incomplete, and the thirteen articles are missing "military form", "marching chapter", "nine places" and "fire attack chapter", only nine articles are left, and I don't know if it was missing, or only nine articles were obtained at the beginning!

Liu Dong estimates that it is likely to be the latter, in ancient times, the popularity of knowledge was not like now, any military book is a real heirloom, because with these books, there is an opportunity to gain the level of advancement through knowledge!

Originally, Liu Dong still regretted that "The Art of War" was incomplete, but after he finished reading "The Art of War", when he picked up the first page of the jade board book in another box, he was stunned when he saw the three words on the cover!

After a long time, he said with a trembling voice: ""Qi Grandson"! My God, it must be the whole story! ”

For this reason, Liu Dong even prayed silently in his heart!

Anyone who understands ancient Chinese culture knows that "Qi Sun Tzu", which is commonly known as "Sun Bin Art of War", was lost after the Tang Dynasty! So much so that during the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, people thought that "Qi Sun Tzu" was "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and it was not until 1972 that a large number of bamboo slips from the Han Tomb of Yinque Mountain in Shandong Province were unearthed, which solved this eternal mystery!

The art of war, which has been lost for thousands of years by Sun Bin, a military master of the Warring States Period, has been revealed, but it is a pity that in the first part of the fifteenth chapter of "Qi Sun Tzu", including "Capturing Pang Juan", "Seeing King Wei", "King Wei Asking" and "Chen Ji Asking the Base", etc., can be classified as "Sun Bin Art of War".

And the following part cannot be determined to belong to the work of "Qi Sun Tzu".

However, even if the upper and lower parts are combined, the number of bamboo slips is much less than that of the bibliographic version of the "Art and Literature Chronicles", and it is not a complete version.

You must know that in the Book of Han. The Art and Literature Chronicle juxtaposes it with the Art of War of Wu Sun Tzu, and records 89 articles and four volumes of Qi Sun Tzu.

So with a strong sense of expectation, Liu Dong carefully picked up the jade board book with "Sun Bin's Art of War" with a trembling hand, for fear that he would accidentally break this cultural treasure that has survived for nearly two thousand years!
