"Teacher, I see what you mean, you should be haunted by Yongzheng's death, so you will study this topic, but I don't really understand, why are you so excited after seeing the pattern on the wrench and snuff bottle?" Zhang Tianyuan asked suspiciously, "Could it be ......?"

"Yes, you are right, the pattern on this is closely related to the death of Yongzheng, when I was researching this subject, I went to the home of a descendant of the Manchu royal family, and found a notebook, which recorded a paragraph, which roughly means that someone recorded the secret of Yongzheng's death on three things, a jade wrench, a snuff bottle, and a ivory carving! Or text, or pattern, three in one, you can unlock the secret of Yongzheng's death, now find two, you say I'm happy or not, think I used to find this, but it took too much time, but it was always unsuccessful, and now I'm finally satisfied, although it's still the same, but these two things are gathered together, so I can find some clues, after all, I have studied this subject for so many years, and I don't know anything. Li Mingguang knew that Zhang Tianyuan was smart and must have guessed something, so he simply said it.

"Then I really have to congratulate you, teacher, with these two things, you can really know the secret of Yongzheng's death, and you can sue me in the future." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"That's nature." Li Mingguang said: "I not only want to sue you, but also write an article to publish it, after all, many people have paid hard work on this topic, and I can't just know it, right, and I can't let what many people write mislead everyone's mind." That would be pathetic. ”

"That's that, like the TV series now. mostly depicts the scene of Yongzheng being assassinated by a woman, which is simply tampering with history. It's much more shameless than a historical novel.,The most important thing that a time-traveling novel is to let you know that the protagonist is through time.,It's understandable that he changed history.,But this kind of obviously hasn't crossed but wants to write the wild history as a proper history.,I have to say that I'm right.,It's really flattering.。 Zhang Tianyuan also sighed casually, and then pointed to the snuffbox and said, "Teacher, I don't know much about this snuffbox, can you tell me about it?" ”

Despite Yongzheng's death, he was also interested. But he was more interested in this snuffbox, after all, this is his hobby, something like antiques.

He had seen other people collect snuff bottles before, but he had never confiscated this thing himself, because he knew it very well, and he didn't dare to touch it, and he always felt that this thing was a little weird.

"Hehe, snuffbox, in short. It's a container for snuff. It is small and easy to carry. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, snuff was introduced into China, and snuff boxes gradually became orientalized. Snuff bottles were produced. Nowadays, the habit of snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has survived as a beautiful work of art, and it has been flourishing for a long time. It is known as a "pocket art that concentrates the culmination of various crafts from various countries". ”

"Our snuff bottle, as a fine handicraft. It integrates calligraphy and painting, carving, inlay, pondering and other skills, using porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate, amber and other materials. The use of blue and white, colorful, carved porcelain, nesting, ingenious work, interior painting and other techniques, absorbing the advantages of a variety of crafts inside and outside the region, is regarded as a precious cultural play by the elegant people, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. The brick inkstone is an inkstone carved with ancient bricks as the material, and the ancient bricks are old and have high historical value in themselves. ”

"There is an interesting legend about the formation of snuff bottles, in the last years of Qianlong, a local minor official entered Beijing to do business, he was upright, honest and honest, and hoped to be handled in a normal way. Due to the inefficiency of the court officials and the lack of bribes, his affairs were still delayed despite the long wait. When the snuff in the glass snuff box was exhausted, he used a cigarette stick to dig up the snuff sticky on the wall of the pot, forming many scratches on the inner wall, this snuff bottle let a scheming monk see, this monk Tong guò real yàn, with a bamboo stick to bake and cut out the pointed end, dipped in ink on the inner wall of the transparent snuff box to draw a picture, this peculiar painting was born......

Maybe it's because he's in a good mood, Professor Li Mingguang is very happy to popularize the knowledge of this snuffbox to Zhang Tianyuan and others, which means that Zhang Tianyuan knows a little bit, Liu Mengxun and Wu Yue have no research on this at all, and the three of them listen to it with relish.

Zhang Tianyuan is still young after all, although he can be a Mr. Nan Guo by relying on the six-character truth to judge the authenticity of antiques, but after all, there are still too few things he has seen, especially the miscellaneous items in the antiques, which contain too complicated things, why are they called miscellaneous? It's because they can't tell which category to put in, so they directly say that it's miscellaneous, not to mention Zhang Tianyuan, even if it's an old expert who has studied antiques all his life, he doesn't dare to say that he can figure out the things in the miscellaneous, they are also lucky today, and they met Li Mingguang who has a lot of research on this snuff bottle, otherwise, I really don't know what kind of history and legend this thing has.

In fact, snuff bottles can be said to be a traditional handicraft, which began in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. The inner painting snuff bottle appeared in the late Jiaqing years and the early Daoguang period. It is drawn with a special tiny hook brush inside a transparent pot. The original inner painting snuff bottle is a transparent glass pot with no frosted inner wall, because the inner wall is smooth and not easy to adhere to ink and color, only some simple pictures and patterns can be painted, such as: grasshopper cabbage, dragon, phoenix and simple brush landscapes, figures, etc., later, the artists used iron sand and emery and water to shake back and forth on the inner surface of the snuff bottle, so that the inner wall of the snuff box is milky white frosted glass, delicate but not smooth, easy to adhere to the ink color, the effect is like rice paper, the inner painting snuff bottle later appeared some more fine works, Later, it developed into a fine art of poetry, calligraphy and painting.

After snuff was introduced into China, Chinese people first used traditional medicine bottles to hold snuff, and on this basis, they used a variety of materials and production techniques to perfect the container of snuff. In the process of use, they found that this kind of bottle with a small mouth and a large abdomen is more beneficial to store snuff, which can ensure that the snuff will not deteriorate in long-term use, and it is easy to carry, and the style has the traditional beauty of our country. Therefore, it is loved by snuff smokers.

In the Qing Dynasty of our country, up to the emperor. Down to the common people, snuff is very popular. The feudal aristocracy headed by the emperor. Extravagant, the snuff bottles they use are often designed and manufactured for them by skilled craftsmen.

In the world, some collectors believe that snuff bottles are a collection of China's arts and crafts masterpiece of pocket art.

There are many materials that can be used to make zuò snuff bottles, including gold, copper, silver, porcelain, materials, jade, coral, agate, amber, jade, crystal, wood, bamboo roots, wood stones, lacquerware, gourds, fruit pits, etc., and people can choose from a wide range of products according to their preferences. In addition to the flat bottle type, the shape of snuff bottles also has the shape of zhili, elephant, lion, lotus, bell, figure, fish, chicken, lingzhi, eggplant, candle and so on.

The pattern of the snuff bottle is decorated with landscapes, plants, flowers, birds, insects, fish, rare birds, rare animals, pavilions, pavilions, magpies, spring heralds, phoenixes wearing peonies, immediately safe, durian open a hundred seeds, carp dragon gate, cats and butterflies for many years, etc. In addition, the words on the surface of the pot also contain auspicious meanings, such as 'Fu Lu Shou', 'Xi', 'Everything must be said to others', 'The wind goes in the palm of your hand' and so on. Snuff bottles are tiny in size and are in the palm of your hand. It is easy to carry and can be taken out at any time to play with and enjoy, which is hard to put down.

China's snuff bottle concentrates on China's painting, calligraphy, carving, inlay and jade, porcelain, materialware, lacquerware, enamel, metal and other crafts in one, absorbing the strengths of others, showing its own strange appearance.

"Oh, teacher, listen to you, this snuffbox is not just a practical thing, but a real work of art. It's really interesting to collect this thing, so I'm going to dabble in it more in the future......"

The reason why Zhang Tianyuan was not interested in snuff bottles before, of course, was that he thought that things were just like cigarette boxes, so what was there to collect. But after listening to Li Mingguang's words, he suddenly realized that his understanding was too biased. You know, this snuffbox is a real work of art. It is even more elaborate than many porcelains.

"It's a work of art, of course. There is more than one master in our country who is famous for his snuff bottle painting, and you will know it after you study it slowly. Li Mingguang said with a smile.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded, took the snuff bottle and played with it carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "This thing can be preserved from the Qianlong period to the present, and there is no damage in the slightest, it seems that the owner of the thing should be very careful to protect this, otherwise, it is definitely impossible to be so intact, I really have to thank this collector......"

Zhang Tianyuan admired it and sighed at the same time, his demeanor fascinated Liu Mengxun on the side, and said that the IQ of a woman in love is negative, and it is estimated that this newlywed woman is about the same, Liu Mengxun is a little interested in snuff bottles, after all, that thing is quite a beautiful work of art, but she pays more attention to her man.

When she saw her man tasting there with a snuff bottle, she actually held her cheeks and smirked, could it be that she really responded to that sentence, and Xi Shi came out of her lover's eyes, oh no, this should be out of Song Yu and Pan An.

Perhaps in Liu Mengxun's eyes, Zhang Tianyuan is not only more handsome than Pan An, but also more talented than any other genius in history, and he is simply the only perfect person in the world.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Liu Mengxun wanted to go over to open the door, but was preempted by Wu Yue, after Wu Yue opened the door, there was a girl standing outside, estimated to be twenty-two years old, dressed very pure, but not very much like Wu Yue.

Zhang Tianyuan thought in his heart at first, either this was someone from Wu Yue's company, or Wu Yue was cuckolded, so he had such a daughter, but when Wu Yue introduced this girl, he was directly dumbfounded.

"Principal Li, Teacher Zhang, this is my wife, I just called her to bring money, there is a bank nearby, you can settle the bill now, no problem, Teacher Zhang?"

Zhang Tianyuan didn't hear Wu Yuezun's words clearly calling him a teacher, but his eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, this Wu Yue is in his forties, but this girl is only twenty-one and twelve, this is actually a wife, not a daughter, my God, no wonder the silk man can't find a girlfriend, good girls are all supported by such a big money.

"Oh, Mengmeng, what are you pinching me for?" Zhang Tianyuan was pinched hard by Liu Mengxun before he woke up from the shock. (To be continued......)
