Chapter 1350: The Regret of Chinese Civilization

……

Back at the exhibition hall, because the appraisal in the afternoon had not yet begun, Liu Dong casually found a place to sit down. After contemplating for a while, he summoned one of the bodyguards who followed him, and after explaining it in his ear, he sent him away.

The reason why he brought bodyguards with him on this trip was not that he really needed protection, but that he wanted to have someone around him who could help him when he needed manpower. As in the current situation, having someone who can be trusted by his side can solve a lot of things that are inconvenient for him to come forward.

Needless to say, the things identified in the afternoon were prosaic. While there are some real things, there are not too many outstanding ones. Therefore, Liu Dong didn't make much of a move in the middle.

In the evening, after declining the dinner party of some so-called 'leaders', Liu Dong returned to his hotel on time.

"Honey, you're back?"

"Hmm!Did you go shopping today?" Liu Dong asked with a smile looking at the shopping bags placed on the sofa.

"Yes, there are a lot of delicious snacks here, and what do you think of this cheongsam?"

As she spoke, Helen took out a high-slit cheongsam with an elegant color and a bit of 'blue and white porcelain' style from her shopping bag, and compared it to herself.

"Very good, but you don't wear this in front of other men except in front of me, or I'll be jealous!" After kissing the tip of Helen's nose affectionately, Liu Dong unbuttoned his shirt and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing this, after a sweet smile, Helen had a coquettish look on her face, and with her beautiful feet as smooth as jade, she took a few steps forward and sat in her lover's arms. His hands wrapped his arms around the lover's tiger neck, and then his cheeks were red, his eyebrows were like water, and he said affectionately: "Then do you want to wear it for you now?"

"Okay, but bear the consequences!" He never refused the fragrant feast he brought to his door.

Feeling the fiery hardness under her buttocks, Helen's pretty face flushed. "I'm going to prepare dinner!"

After the words fell, Helen jumped out of Liu Dong's arms lightly, and then turned around and left with joy.

Looking at the beautiful woman who disappeared in the kitchen like a butterfly wearing flowers, with the unique fragrance of Chanel and the laughter like silver bells, Liu Dong smiled with satisfaction, and then shifted his gaze to the lockbox on the living room table.

After picking up the note on the box and looking at the message on it, Liu Dong opened the stainless steel lock on the side of the box, opened it carefully, and put it on the red flannel cushion. Seven jade plates of different sizes and about a finger thick appeared in front of him.

The largest of these seven jade plates is the size of an adult's palm, and the smallest is the size of an egg, and most of the edges are sharp and not too smooth, and the fractures are very new, which should have been broken recently!

However, contrary to the freshness of the fracture, these seven jade plates all have a very obvious Qin color, among which the earthy brown and red Tuqin are the most. Occasionally, there is also a white water stain!

Judging from the depth and breadth of these jade materials, these jade plates have been isolated from the world for a long time! At the very least, they should be BC things.

Other than that. On the surface of these seven jade plates, there are also scattered hieroglyphs that appear very neat and abstract. What's more, Liu Dong, who has never forgotten these characters, or patterns, and is proficient in ancient Chinese characters in the past dynasties, does not know any of them, and has never seen them.

Of course, the more so. The more he understood the value of these seven jade plates.

Of all the ancient works of art, the most valuable are not those gold, silver, or pearls and jade, but those precious works of art with words that can be interpreted by people of ancient civilizations! The Dunhuang Testament and the Book of the Dead Sea.

"This ...... That's a good thing!"

After no results for a long time, Liu Dong couldn't help but use the relics yuanguang, and as a result, the rich purple spiritual light that rose from the seven jade plates directly shocked Liu Dong, who was unprepared.

Liu Dong, who has long known the different identification results represented by the various colors of the relics Yuanguang, knows very well in his heart that the purple aura generally appears on antiques, which means that the identified antiques have a history of at least 3,000 years.

Moreover, these jade plates are not only rich in aura, but also float in the air above six feet, which means that they have at least more than 3,600 years of existence.

3,600 years ago was the beginning of China's first century of dynasty, the Xia Dynasty.

In the 21st century B.C., 'Yu' was passed down to Zi' Qi, which changed the 'Zen concession system' of primitive tribes and created a precedent for nearly 4,000 years of hereditary inheritance in China. , the "family world" in Chinese history, began with the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. And the glory of the history of Chinese civilization also began from here. Therefore, the Xia Dynasty can also be called the source of Chinese civilization.

However, although there are many records about the Xia Dynasty in traditional Chinese literature, due to the relatively late completion of the books and the fact that no direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty has been found, such as the writings of the Xia Dynasty at the same time as self-evidence, some people in the field of modern and modern history have always questioned the authenticity of the existence of the Xia Dynasty.

Just like foreign historiographers, they have always believed that the Xia Dynasty in China, like ancient Greek myths and legends, did not really exist. Moreover, many world-famous history books recognize that the beginning of Chinese history is generally the Shang Dynasty. For example, this is the case with the famous American historian Stavrianos's "General History of the World"!

This result has made many Chinese historians, and even many Chinese who understand history, very angry. To deny the history of a country is to deny a country. But there is really not much we can do about this kind of thing except to break our teeth and swallow it in our stomachs. Because, there is indeed no direct evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty in China, especially textual evidence!

It is as if the ancient Chinese civilization before the Shang Dynasty, especially the civilization that existed in the Xia Dynasty, disappeared out of thin air!

"If the words on these jade plates are really Xia Dynasty characters, then ......!"

Thinking of this possibility, even with the stability of Liu Dong's heart, his breathing couldn't help but become a little heavier.

After quickly calming down, Liu Dong began to splice these jade plates, only to find that they were not complete pieces. Of the seven jade plates, only one could be reassembled according to the traces of breakage, and the remaining four jade plates could not be put together.

Obviously, the remaining four jade plates were all broken from the other jade plates.

"There must be more of this jade plate!"

Looking at the broken jade plate, Liu Dong thought excitedly and expectantly.

After staring at these jade plates for a while, Liu Dong, who remembered something, hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and after a few simple presses, he connected it.

"Boss, I've put something on the table in your room ......!"

"I know, stuff I see. Shen Ning, you're doing a good job!" Liu Donghe said.

"Thank you boss for the compliment!"

"Well, I'm going to give you another mission!"

"Boss, you say!"

"It's very simple, keep an eye on the owner of that stall these days, and then buy me all the jade plates with these patterns in his place, and inquire about his address by the way! If possible, find out the origin of these jade plates!"

"Yes, boss, you can rest assured that this matter will be left to me!"

"Well, I'll ask the Finance Department to allocate 500,000 yuan to you specifically for this!" Liu Dong said.

"Boss, you don't need so much!"

"I know I don't need so much, and the extra will be your reward for doing this time!"

"Thank you boss!"

"Needless to say kind words, just get things done seriously. Also, remember to hide your identity and not attract too many people's attention, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Remember to notify me as soon as there is news!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Dong looked at the only intact jade plate in the lockbox, 20 centimeters long, about 8 centimeters wide, and about 1 centimeter thick, as well as the pictographs with intoxicating beauty in its abstract surface, and secretly prayed in his heart that there would be more of this jade plate with words in the back.

If this is the case, its existence will bring earth-shaking changes to ancient Chinese history, many unknown historical mysteries will be solved by it, and the ancient history before the Shang Dynasty will be greatly compensated. Its influence is no less than the discovery of the 'Yinxu Oracle Bone Inscription' at the beginning of the last century!

Thinking about this kind of result made Liu Dong couldn't help but be excited.

The thrill of making up for a history of world influence is much stronger than the sense of accomplishment that comes from discovering treasures. Therefore, Liu Dong is also very concerned about this matter.

In the later appraisal, no matter how precious the artwork is, it can no longer attract Liu Dong's attention as before. He put more energy into the jade plates that Shen Ning brought back every day. In particular, the hieroglyphs on the jade plate have a fatal attraction for Liu Dong.

In addition to accompanying Helen on a regular basis, he spent a great deal of time deciphering these hieroglyphs.

Thanks to the unique inheritance system of Chinese writing and the continuity of civilization, the hieroglyphs of ancient China are far from being like the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon and ancient India, which have become incomprehensible in modern times.

Therefore, although the time was very short, he was proud of the large number of oracle bone inscriptions memorized by Liu Dong's ability to remember, which allowed him to successfully analyze some of the meanings of the words on these jade plates.

The result was correct with his judgment, the words on these jade tablets were indeed from the Xia Dynasty, although the content of their descriptions was not continuous, but judging from the occasional era name, it was certain that it was the Xia Dynasty.

Such a result naturally made Liu Dong more attentive to these Xia Dynasty characters that he named 'Jade Plate Script'!

Liu Dong's strong interest in exploring the secret made Liu Dong excuse the establishment of the Bogu network and the busy time after the catalog of this treasure appreciation festival was completed, and he resigned the final dinner initiated by the Zheng * Zhou Cultural Department, and even when the three old men left, he did not send it. Instead, after putting on makeup, he took Shen Ning to the antique market on Zhengzhou University Road. (To be continued.) )
