Chapter 645 Golden Fish Talisman
β¦β¦
After walking out of the alley, Liu Dong opened the cloth bag from the hand of the guy called the mouse, and then took out a palm-sized thing that looked like a carp!
And if it were in the eyes of any professor who was familiar with the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, their eyes would light up when they saw something in Liu Dong's hands, and they would be excited!
Because, it is a common 'fish talisman' in the officialdom of the Sui and Tang dynasties, which can represent the power and status of officials!
The fish charm appeared as early as the Sui Dynasty, but it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was put into the fish bag as a status symbol and as a definite system. ^_^ Books, Books, Hair, Omega Ξ©. QΠΌ sHu.Co m^_^ Lewen Novel.c-o-m.
The fish talismans of the Tang Dynasty were refined from wood or metal. Its shape is a fish, divided into two pieces on the left and right, which are engraved with the name of the official, the position in He Yamen, the number of official residences, the number of Yulu, and what kind of treatment they enjoy when traveling, etc., which is much more complete than the ID card of the Sui Dynasty with only names and official products. There are three kinds of fish charms: one is the "copper fish charm", the second is the "portable fish charm", and the third is the "fish charm".
In the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu abolished the tiger talisman in order to avoid the name of his ancestor Li Hu, and instead used brass to make a fish-shaped talisman, called the "fish talisman".
The fish charm is used to indicate the status of the official, and it is carried with a fish bag. The fish bag containing the fish charm is also "decorated with gold for the third rank and above, and silver for the fifth rank and above".
The handover of fish charms is used to enter and exit the palace gates, open and close the palace gates, and prove the identity of officials. It is also known as "patrol fish", "open door fish", "closed door fish" and so on.
Take the fish charm in your hand, and then throw the cloth bag in your hand into the trash can next to it.
If it weren't for this fish talisman, Liu Dong wouldn't have followed the guy called the rat to take the initiative to come to this place with a bad edge.
Tiger talismans, Liu Dong already has a lot of them in his hands, but it is the first time that Liu Dong has picked up the fish talisman.
After rubbing the clods of soil stuck to the fish talisman, the shape of the fish talisman is also roughly clear!
The whole piece of fish charm is about 6 cm long. It is about 2 centimeters wide, and you can vaguely see that the surface of the fish talisman is still shining with golden brilliance, and the golden brilliance undoubtedly explains the material of this fish talisman.
Seeing that there were not many people around, Liu Dong repaired the fish talisman in his hand with relics yuanguang, and soon the fish talisman that was originally covered with dirt and had a very strict oxidation on the surface immediately became golden and shining, and every fish scale on the fish body was clearly visible, and the golden fish talisman with a very vivid image appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.
And after pulling the fish talisman along the gap in the middle, the completed fish talisman was divided into two halves in Liu Dong's hand. In the position of the fish symbol fish head, the word 'contract', one on one side, and there are still six neat italic characters on the remaining golden fish charm 'Emperor Nine Sons Jin Wangzhi'!
According to the New Tang Dynasty Book. Car Service Chronicle". At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, internal and external officials of the fifth grade or above, all wore fish charms and fish bags, in order to "be noble and cheap, and respond to the call". The fish charm is made of different materials, "the prince is made of gold." The official is made of copper. All are titled with their positions and names. β
Judging from the material and handwriting of this fish talisman in Liu Dong's hand, this fish talisman is likely to be the portable fish talisman worn by Li Zhi, the ninth son of Tang Taizong Li Shimin!
And this Jin King Li Zhi. That is, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty later, who created the rule of Yonghui with the legacy of Zhenguan. At the same time, he is also the husband of a generation of empress Wu Zetian!
The illustrious status of this fish charm makes it an undoubted national treasure in the eyes of any historian, collector and connoisseur!
This is the only one in the world. Unique!
And being able to get it was even more unexpected than Liu Dong, and of course he was very happy.
"Fortunately, I came to Panjiayuan today, otherwise I am afraid that I will miss this national treasure!" Thinking of this, Liu Dong doesn't hate Brother Leopard and Mouse so much, and even likes them a little!
Shaking his head, after cleaning up his thoughts, he put the golden fish talisman in the mustard seed space, and in broad daylight, the gold and silver in his hand are too eye-catching!
After finding a road leading to the center of Panjiayuan and walking to the end, he looked up and saw the familiar signboard of the 'Treasure Pavilion', Liu Dong couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect to come back and come here!" β
Think about it since the last time I left the capital, I haven't seen Mr. Wen for more than half a year, and now the other party has indeed been invited by him to become the carving master of Rose Jewelry in Beijing.
Although the treasure pavilion of the old man Wen is located in the prosperous area of Panjiayuan, the area is not large, and there is only one floor, Liu Dong just entered and saw the old man Wen who was holding a green jade landscape jade carving in the counter and was engrossed in the appraisal.
And on the circle chair next to him sat a middle-aged man wearing a crimson T-shirt and black trousers, after Liu Dong came in, the middle-aged man just glanced at him, and quickly focused his attention on Wen Lao, who was doing the appraisal.
From his slightly nervous expression, it could be seen that the landscape jade carving made of Hetian green jade that Elder Wen was identifying at the moment should belong to him, and it was also worth a lot of money.
Seeing that Wen Lao couldn't get out, Liu Dong didn't bother, but stood aside and waited.
"Huh?"
Originally, Liu Dong was just curious, and used the relics to look at the jade carving in Wen Lao's hand, about 30 centimeters high and 18 centimeters wide, and then he thought that there was a cave in it!
After 'looking' for a while, Liu Dong's brows gradually wrinkled! There was a hint of thought in his eyes.
None of the three of them made a sound, and occasionally guests came in, and when they saw their silent appearance, they were stunned for a moment and left quickly!
"Mr. Wang, your jade carving is not a jade carving of the Ming Dynasty, at most it is only the end of the Qing Dynasty, the time will not exceed two hundred years, and the craftsmanship is not very outstanding, but this piece of material is good, high-quality Hetian green jade material. Overall, 500,000 is a bit expensive! However, if you can stay for a few more years, you should still not lose money, after all, the current antique market is rising significantly! And high-quality Hetian jade has always been a scarce commodity in the market! Wen Lao put down the bright flashlight in his hand and turned his head to the middle-aged man next to him.
After listening to Wen Lao's narration, the middle-aged man obviously showed a trace of entanglement on his face, and after hesitating, "Old shopkeeper, since this is the case, then you can accept it for 500,000 yuan!" β
Hearing this, Old Man Wen shook his head after thinking for a while, although he guessed that this jade carving would reach 500,000 in the future, but after all, it was the future, and no one could say what would happen in the future, so he couldn't risk losing money to accept this jade carving landscape that was only at the end of the Qing Dynasty at most.
"Or 450,000!" Seeing that Elder Wen shook his head, the middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"450,000 is still a bit expensive compared to the current market price!" After a little muttering, Wen Lao continued, "If you really want to sell it, I won't let you suffer, 350,000 yuan, I will buy this jade carving, what do you think?" β
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.
This jade carving was handed down from the family, and if he hadn't really encountered difficulties, he would never have taken it out and sold it. But the difference between 350,000 and the 500,000 he asked for was too much to meet his requirements at all.
"Then there is no way!" From the face of the middle-aged man surnamed Wang, Elder Wen understood his plan.
However, even if he saw that this middle-aged man had a hard time, the old man was not a good man, and he had to be cautious about hundreds of thousands of transactions.
"I like this jade carved landscape very much, if Wen Lao doesn't want it, you might as well give it to me!" When the two were obviously unable to reach a deal, Liu Dong, who had been watching the development of the situation quietly next to him, spoke.
"Xiaodong, why are you here?" Old Man Wen was pleasantly surprised.
"Old man, I'm here to send you an invitation, in two days, the spring auction of PwC Red Star Auction House will start, there are old man's works on it, you can't help but go when the time comes!" As he spoke, Liu Dong took two steps forward and handed the red invitation in his hand to Wen Lao.
"Hehe, Xiaodong, it's rare that you, a rich man, still remember me, a bad old man, and now I personally send invitations, but I am really flattered!"
"Don't lift me up too much, be careful that my tail goes up to the sky!" Liu Dong joked.
And looking at the young man laughing in front of him, Wen Lao's eyes showed a ray of appreciation and admiration, it has been more than half a year since he last met Liu Dong in Panjiayuan because of the Red Mountain Jade Pig Dragon, and in this more than half a year, amazing news about this young man in the jade world and the collection world has come one after another.
Up to now, the other party is already a well-known young collector in China, and he is also a well-known 'jade king' in the jade circle, but the other party is so young.
So much so that when he saw each other again now, Old Man Wen felt in a trance, and in an extreme period of time, Liu Dong's identity had changed dramatically in his opinion.
"Hello, just now you said you wanted me to carve this jade landscape?"
Although it is rude to interrupt other people's conversations in the middle, the middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who is anxious, can't care about these anymore!
"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded.
"You just heard, I don't sell it if I have less than 500,000!" The middle-aged man surnamed Wang judged from the conversation between Liu Dong and Wen Lao just now that this young man who was about the same age as his son was a rich man, so he set a price of 500,000 yuan.
Hearing this, Wen Lao frowned, and opened his mouth to mention Liu Dong to say a few words, but before the old man could speak, he was interrupted by Liu Dong shaking his head.
"Okay, it's 500,000!"
"Really?" The middle-aged man surnamed Wang was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course!" Saying that, Liu Dong wrote a check for 500,000 yuan and handed it over, "Look at your appearance, the check should be known, right?" β
"Know, know!"
After nodding, he hurriedly took the check in Liu Dong's hand, and after distinguishing the seriousness and fakeness, he handed the jade carving to Liu Dong's hand with a happy face.
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, we're a fair deal!"
