Chapter 945: The Treasure of Tanglin (Part II)

PS: Because the editor-in-charge notice wants to delete any description of the sexual plot beyond the handle, and there can't even be a plot to think about, so there is no way, I can only change it from scratch, and I have to revise the book today or even in the next few days, so I can only keep one update!

Forgive me, everyone, your arms can't twist your thighs, and the Easterners can't help it!

Chapter 945: The Treasure of Tanglin (Medium)

……

Of course, the giant jade carvings that accompany the burial are not only the "Qianlong Southern Tour Map" Yushanzi, which is slightly smaller than it, there are also the Amur Sana who reflected the pacification of the Mongolian Junggar Department and the Uygur Bunadun and Huojizhan rebellions, and it is also the main achievement of the Qianlong Dynasty The "Pingding Zhun Hui Division" Yushanzi, the "Qiansu Banquet Yushanzi" that reflects the two Qiansuo banquets, the "Great Reading Map" Yushanzi that reflects the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners military array, and the "Ziguang Pavilion Banquet Map" Yushanzi that symbolizes the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the coming of all states!

These four pieces of Yushanzi, together with the initial 'Qianlong Southern Tour Map' Yushanzi, reflect the five most important political events of the Qianlong Dynasty. From the extravagance of Emperor Qianlong, who used five huge jade stones with an average of more than 5 tons to carve them into jade carvings and put them in his tomb, it can also be seen that these five things have a place in his heart!

Of course, these historical events basically left hundreds of kilometers of court paintings, but it is clear that the Qianlong Emperor preferred jade carving, because jade carvings can be preserved for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without damage, while paper silk silk if not well preserved, maybe hundreds of years, or even less time will be corrupted into ashes!

After admiring the large and small jade carvings, when Liu Dong opened a slightly smaller box again, what appeared in front of him was not the antique that Liu Dong thought. Rather, two vermilion are quaint and heavy. A small wooden box with a hint of woody scent. Each small wooden box is the size of a laptop, and from the texture alone, Liu Dong found that the material of these wooden boxes is very rare and worth thousands of gold in the market!

Old mahogany, also known as 'red sour branches', is a precious wood second only to red sandalwood in terms of material! This kind of ancient royal tribute wood, which is different from the current 'new mahogany', has now become the same collection as red sandalwood and golden silk nanmu!

It is precisely because of the preciousness of the old mahogany that the preciousness of the contents in it is even more precious.

Liu Dong carefully took out a wooden box from it. After a little look, he aimed at the brass lock in the middle, because it was not locked, so Liu Dong easily opened it!

"Books!"

Looking at one of the books that were neatly bound and had a green surface, Liu Dong's heart suddenly became excited!

Everyone knows that during the Qianlong period, a great encyclopedia in the history of Chinese civilization was born - "Siku Quanshu"!

This bears the prosperous culture of the Kangqian Dynasty, compiled in ten years of cultural masterpieces, a total of four parts, history, children, and collections, after the completion of the book, they are according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, divided into four colors of decoration. That is, the scripture department is green, and the history department is red. The sub-part is moon-white, and the set is gray-black for easy review.

Obviously, these green-bound books are the 'scriptures' in the Siku Quanshu!

Liu Dong, who was looking forward to it, hurriedly and carefully took out a copy of it, put it in front of him, and sure enough, the cover that was already slightly old but well-preserved was written with standard italics on the four characters of 'Siku Quanshu'!

After Liu Dong took a look at it, the seal of 'Treasure of Qianlong Imperial Tour' on the title page was impressive!

The "scriptures" of the "Siku Quanshu" are divided into 10 categories, such as "Yi, Shu, Poems, Rites, Spring and Autumn, Filial Piety, Five Classics, Four Books, Music, and Primary School", and Liu Dong's book happens to be "Spring and Autumn"!

It's just that what makes Liu Dong strange is that in addition to the Qianlong Imperial Seal, Liu Dong has not found any collection seals such as: 'Wenyuan Pavilion Treasure' and 'Wenyuan Pavilion Treasure', it is obvious that this "Siku Quanshu" is not one of the seven "Siku Quanshu" collected by the world's well-known Wenyuan Pavilion, Wensu Pavilion, Wenyuan Pavilion, Wenjin Pavilion and other 'North Four Pavilions', as well as Jiangnan Wenzong Pavilion, Wenhui Pavilion and Wenlan Pavilion and other 'South Three Pavilions'!

But more than 200 years have passed since the revision of the "Siku Quanshu", and Liu Dong has no way to guess what happened in the middle to the place, but the existence of this set of hand-copied versions of the "Siku Quanshu" makes Liu Dong very excited!

Of course, there are also regrets that the books attached to "Siku Quanshu", "Siku Quanshu Collection", "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue", "Siku Quanshu Concise Catalogue", "Siku Quanshu Research", "Wuyingdian Collector's Edition Series" and other books are not in these old mahogany bookcases!

However, Liu Dong soon forgot all the unhappiness before!

"Damn, I can't believe it, this is "Shufu Yuan Turtle"?"

When he received half of the 79,000 volumes, 36,000 volumes, and nearly 800 million words of "Siku Quanshu", Liu Dong suddenly turned out a book with a completely different cyan decoration from the mahogany box!

On the cover of the book, the four-character italics of "Shufu Yuan Turtle" are impressive!

"Shufu" is the place where the emperor hid books, and "Yuan Turtle" is a big turtle, which was used for divination of national events in ancient times. It is meant to be used as a reference for later emperors to govern the country.

"Shufu Yuan Turtle", one of the four major books of the Northern Song Dynasty, is an encyclopedia of political history and Han historiography. In the second year of Jingde, Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong ordered Wang Qinruo, Yang Yi, Sun Zheng and other eighteen people to compile the deeds of the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties. "Shufu Yuangui" and "Taiping Guangji", "Taiping Yulan", and "Wenyuan Yinghua" are collectively known as the "Four Great Books of the Song Dynasty", and the scale of "Shufu Yuangui" ranks first among the four major books, several times that of other books.

The book has a total of 1,000 volumes, divided into 31 parts such as emperors and leap positions, and the subordinates are divided into more than 1,100 doors.

The deeds of the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties, from ancient times to the five dynasties, are classified and arranged successively according to the identity of the characters, with the purpose of "making the law for the future and making the openers profitable". Cai Chuquan selected the classics, history, "Chinese", "Guanzi", "Mencius", "Han Feizi", "Huainanzi", "Yanzi Spring and Autumn", "Lü Shi Chunqiu", "Han Poetry Biography" and "Historical Books", "Xiuwen Hall Imperial Review", and compiled them into categories.

With the combination of chronology and biography, a total of 1,104 gates are formed.

The door has a small preface, describing its reference. It is divided into 31 sections, including emperors, intercalary positions, hypocrites, kings, princes, clans, relatives, zaifu, generals, Taiwan provinces, state plans, military officials, admonitions, ministers, national history, palms, schools, criminal laws, secretaries, sanitation, elections, tributes, envoys, ministers, shepherds, commanders, palace ministers, shogunates, courtiers, general records, and foreign ministers. The ministry has a general preface, which is said to be systematic. The book was written in eight years, with a total of 1,000 volumes, and the edict was titled "Shufu Yuan Turtle".

And Liu Dong deeply regrets that this "Shufu Yuan Turtle" that appears here is not complete, and it is not the original of the Song Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty royal family engraving, but some of the back are supplements of the Qing Dynasty, a total of 954 volumes, although there is still a gap of 46 volumes from the consummation, but compared with the only 550 volumes of Zhang Yuanji's "Shufu Yuan Turtle" that has been handed down now, it has nearly doubled, and Liu Dong is already very satisfied!

With "Shufu Yuan Turtle", "Taiping Guangji", "Taiping Yulan", and "Wenyuan Yinghua", which are listed as one of the "Four Books of the Song Dynasty", are naturally not missing, but like "Shufu Yuan Turtle", basically none of them are complete, and there are basically forty or fifty sets missing!

In addition to these encyclopedic book series, almost all the quintessential books of Chinese civilization, such as the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, as well as the "Art of War" and "The Art of War" of Sun Bin of the Soldiers, and the "Han Feizi" of the Legalists, can be seen here!

Its richness is comparable to that of the royal library, but most of these books were revised in the Ming and Qing dynasties, although very rare, but slightly inferior in monetary value, but Liu Dong did not care about this, because he valued the information contained in the book, many of which can solve some historical mysteries and fill in the cultural gaps!

It's just that Liu Dong is a little puzzled that he didn't see the figure of "Yongle Ceremony" here!

"Maybe Qianlong thinks that the "Siku Quanshu" has surpassed the Yongle Canon, right?" Liu Dong guessed in his heart.

The emperors are all proud, especially Qianlong, who is known as the 'perfect old man'!

……

Because of the limited time, it is impossible for Liu Dong to examine the nearly millions of books one by one, so he can only store them in the mustard seed space first, and then look at the richer collection later!

Now he was a little numb with shock by the appearance of a large number of rich works of art, both of artistic value and of equal monetary value!

But when he opened a huge wooden box in front of him, he was still shocked by what appeared inside!

"It is said that Qianlong was the most extravagant emperor in the entire Qing Dynasty, and I was suspicious before, but now I believe it when I see all this, and even in the entire feudal history of China for more than 2,000 years, I can't find a few emperors who are as poor and extravagant as him!"

Looking at the giant golden table clock in front of him with a height of more than 3 meters, divided into 6 layers, and made of gold, Liu Dong's face was full of sighs.

This golden giant clock is tall and gorgeous, the bottom layer is about 60 centimeters, two square size of the square gold platform, the golden platform is four five-clawed golden dragons, the back of the dragon is towering, supporting the top four layers of gold cascades like pagodas, in addition to the bottom of the gold platform and the second layer of four five-clawed golden dragons, the four facades of each of the four upper floors have the existence of clocks!

In addition to the four golden dragons on the second layer, each of the remaining five layers is carved with bas-relief and line carving to represent auspicious patterns such as entwined lotus patterns, leaf curl patterns and lotus petal patterns, of course, from top to bottom, including the four golden dragons, the body is inlaid with exquisite jade, lapis lazuli, ruby sapphire, pearls and other colored gemstones, and even the outer cover of all watch cards is not glass, but pure crystal manufacturing!

Especially at the top of this giant golden table clock, there is a sculpture of two adult fist-sized ruby carvings!

Pu Lao is one of the nine sons of the dragon in Chinese cultural legends, because of the characteristics of 'good sex', so people often cast Pu Lao as a bell button!

Obviously, this golden bell is an obvious artistic crystallization of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures, and its value is immeasurable! (To be continued......)
