Chapter 1353 Jade Plate Text
Chapter 1353 Jade Plate Text
……
"Whew......!"
After a long sigh, Liu Dong shook his head, "Forget it, having a 'Zhuangwang Treasure' is enough for me to have a headache! Moreover, it is only when it is handed over to the state that it can give full play to its greatest historical and cultural value!"
After convincing himself, Liu Dong felt that a stone in his heart had also fallen, and he was a lot more relaxed.
Without worry, Liu Dong rested well at night. The next day, after carrying Boss Qian back to Zhengzhou, he took a plane back to the capital.
Originally, Liu Dong was going to go directly to Hong Kong from Zheng*zhou, but now that there is the matter of 'the ruins', Liu Dong has to modify his itinerary.
After returning to the capital, Liu Dong directly took two complete jade plates and drove to Zhongnan*hai.
Now, with his status and background, it is naturally much easier to enter this majestic complex than ordinary people. However, it is inevitable that there will be a necessary check-up.
"Xiaodong, when do you have time to come to me, a busy man?" Qi Hongjun put down the pen in his hand and greeted him from behind his desk.
"Bring some gifts for your sister-in-law, you can send them over!" Liu Dong raised the things in his hand and gestured.
"Forget it, I don't know you yet. You kid is 'going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing'!"
"Hehe, my brother-in-law still understands me!"
"You kid...... Come, sit!"
"Hey!"
After agreeing, Liu Dong sat down on the guest sofa next to him.
At this time, there was no need to order, Qi Hongjun's secretary had already brought the water.
Knowing that Qi Hongjun, who is the Minister of Culture, is usually busy with work, Liu Dong did not sell it after sitting down, and directly put the lockbox he brought over on the low table and opened it carefully. Let the jade plate appear in front of the two of them.
"...... this?"
Although he knew that his amazing nephew would not be untargeted, Qi Hongjun still couldn't figure out the purpose of his visit.
Moreover, although he is the Minister of Culture and is in charge of the country's state-owned art institutions, Qi Hongjun does not know anything about the identification and collection of ancient artworks, but he is only a little better than ordinary people.
Therefore. Although the two jade plates brought by Liu Dong were full of antiquity, Qi Hongjun couldn't see a 'ugly Yinmao' at all.
"These two jade plates were accidentally found and brought back when I went to Zheng*zhou to record a show!" After a pause, Liu Dong, who looked solemn, slowed down his tone, "I suspect that these patterns on them are the characters of the Xia Dynasty!"
"Xia Dynasty Text...... Are you sure?" Qi Hongjun, who didn't care about it at first, repeated a sentence and suddenly came back to his senses.
Although he was not familiar with antique appraisal and collecting, this did not mean that he lacked knowledge of ancient Chinese history.
"Uncle, you know that what I am most interested in is the collection and appraisal of antiques. Therefore, I also have a certain amount of research on paleographies. As a result, I found that the patterns on these jade plates were somewhat similar to oracle bone inscriptions. But it's not Oracle. But as long as you have studied the oracle bone inscriptions, you can also understand some of the words on these jade tablets. It's like we're familiar with simplified Chinese characters, but we can also understand some traditional Chinese characters!"
Liu Dong's words made Qi Hongjun can't help but carefully pick up a jade plate from the lockbox, hold it in front of him and study it carefully.
Qi Hongjun naturally understands the special inheritance system of Chinese characters. Moreover, he is also willing to believe Liu Dong's words.
However, the Xia Dynasty script is a thing that has been searched for many years in the historiography and has not been obtained. He was still very cautious in his heart. After all, once this kind of thing spreads, the impact is too great. And if it turns out to be a false thing in the end, it will be too embarrassing. The Red Army was not cautious and careful.
"Xiaodong. Are you sure? This is not the slightest joke!" Qi Hongjun said with a cautious face.
"Uncle, I'm sure! I haven't found more than one piece of jade plate like this, and I guarantee that there won't be any mistakes!"
After nodding, Qi Hongjun looked at the jade plate in his hand again, and carefully put it back on the cushion in the lockbox.
"How many of these jade plates do you still have?"
Qi Hongjun asked with a hint of urgency in his words, but extremely cautiously.
Liu Dong can understand the feelings in his uncle's heart. For him, the jade plate text may just be a rare archaeological discovery. But for Qi Hongjun, it is a rare political achievement, and it is an excellent springboard for him to go further in the political arena, and he can't help but care.
"There are still 8 complete jade plates, and there are many broken ones. It's about one hundred and twenty or thirty pieces!"
"There is this kind of writing on every piece?" Qi Hongjun's eyes lit up and he said eagerly.
"Of course, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't think it's Xia script!"
"Great!"
Qi Hongjun believed that Liu Dong would not take such an important matter to blind himself. Since this is the case, it means that it is very likely that these jade plate inscriptions belong to the Xia Dynasty script.
Thinking of this, Qi Hongjun couldn't sit still anymore!
'Huh' stood up, walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back a few times, the expression on his face changed repeatedly, about three or four minutes later, Qi Hongjun looked certain, suddenly turned to Liu Dong and said quickly: "Xiaodong, where are these jade plates in your hands now?"
"In the storage room of the Yuanming Museum, it is safe to put it there!" Liu Dong said.
"That's good...... In this way, you can now go back and prepare a meeting room immediately. Forty-five minutes later, I'll bring the experts over, let's identify these jade plates together!"
"That's no problem!" Liu Dong nodded.
"Okay, let's split up! See you at your Yuanming Museum in forty-five minutes!" Qi Hongjun said resolutely.
"Then uncle, I'll go back and prepare first?"
"Hmm...... Hey, Xiaodong, wait, if you have enough time, you can help find some ancient jade identification experts, and you want the best!" Qi Hongjun called Liu Dong, who was about to go out, and explained.
"Hehe, uncle, don't worry, everything will be ready for you at that time!"
"Stinky boy! What is the future of my uncle, but this time! Don't stab me at Lou Zi!"
"I'll do something, don't worry!" Liu Dong patted his chest confidently.
"That's good, let's go!"
"Wow!"
After agreeing, Liu Dong turned around and went out.
Watch his back disappear outside the door. Qi Hongjun, who was concentrating for a while, suddenly turned around and ordered: "Secretary Hu, call the Palace Museum for me, 100,000 are ......in a hurry!"
"Understood, Minister!"
……
When Liu Dong drove back to the Yuanming Museum after coming out of Zhongnanhai, it was still afternoon. From the entrance to the first floor of the museum. Visitors from home and abroad can be seen everywhere.
With the enrichment of the collection of the Yuan Ming Museum, especially the precious collections, the number of domestic and foreign tourists attracted by it has doubled or tripled compared to last year.
In particular, Liu Dong's shipwreck museum, as well as the rich Western collection from the Tsar's treasures, have made the Yuanming Museum's international prestige no less than that of the famous Forbidden City.
Now, more and more international travel agencies have begun to make the Old Ming Museum a must-visit destination for tourists in China, especially in Beijing.
This kind of result is exactly what Liu Dong wants, and only a museum with profitability can really operate. Even hundreds or thousands of years from now. The decline of the Hanhua Group did not affect the operation of the Yuanming Museum.
After glancing at the bustling flow of people in the museum, Liu Dong parked his car in the parking lot outside. Then enter the conference room on the first floor of the museum through the museum staff passage.
As soon as Liu Dong walked to the door, he heard an excited voice coming from the crack in the open door.
"The characters on these jade plates must be Xia Dynasty characters! It has a clear inheritance relationship with the oracle bone inscription!"
"I specialize in the identification of ancient jade, although I don't know much about the words on it, but judging from the color of these jade plates, they do have a history of more than three thousand years!"
Listening to the excited voices of these old men, Liu Dong smiled slightly. Pushed the door open and walked in.
I saw it on the oval conference table in the middle of the small conference room. At this moment, there are several pieces of jade plates of different shapes neatly placed in the mess.
Around these jade plates, six or seven white-haired old men over sixty years old were arguing excitedly around them. Seeing that they were refreshed, their eyes were wide open, and their faces were full of excitement, those who didn't know thought they were mentally ill!
However, it is precisely because of the most sincere love for their respective industries that comes from the heart. will make them show this kind of madness when they see these jade plates that represent the source of Chinese civilization.
Maybe he was too involved, waiting for Liu Dong to walk in. The appraisal and restoration experts specially hired by the Yuanming Museum, including Li Lao, did not find Liu Dong's arrival.
Seeing this, Liu Dong didn't go up to disturb them, and after watching quietly for a while, he quietly walked out. Started calling Qi Lao.
In addition to calligraphy and painting, the old man Qi Gong also has a deep study of Chinese culture, and he is good at calligraphy, and he also has a deep foundation for the 'oracle bone inscription', so Liu Dong first thought of the old man.
Not surprisingly, as soon as Liu Dong's phone was dialed for a while, there was a hearty laugh from Old Man Qi, "Xiaodong, your kid flies around all day long, and he is not at home." How will this time have time to call me, an old man?"
"Hehe, Qi Lao, isn't this missing you?" After an embarrassed smile, Liu Dong said flatteringly.
"Come on, I know what shit you're pulling when you pout your ass, kid. Tell me, are you asking me to help you fix the painting again this time?"
"Hehe, you're really a god! But let's put it later, there's something I want to trouble you now!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.
"When did you kid become so polite. What's the matter, say?"
"That's right, this time I went to Zheng*zhou to participate in a treasure appreciation column. When I was shopping in the antique market in the middle, I stumbled upon some jade plates......" Subsequently, Liu Dong told the original story of what happened in Zheng*zhou this time.
"Where is the thing now?" After listening, Qi Lao said immediately with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"It's at the Old Ming Museum!"
"Toot ......!"
"Hey, Qi Lao, Qi Lao?" Listening to the blind voice on the mobile phone, Liu Dong couldn't help but shake his head, "This old man is over ninety, and this temper still hasn't changed." (To be continued.) )
