Mo Xie said: "The ones my classmates bought, although they look messy, they are actually part of a set of jade ornaments, although some are missing, but they can still be seen that this is a white jade Maiko pattern jade belt in the Tang Dynasty." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Mo Ye directly said the name, this is the result of the super biological detector through comparison and combination of sets.

"Nice boy! There are so few jade ornaments in the Tang Dynasty, you can actually recognize the origin of these jade pieces, it's not simple! The white jade Maiko pattern jade belt in the Tang Dynasty has been unearthed in China, so to speak, it is really this thing, it is really famous as meeting! The old man stared at some of the jade tablets on the big screen.

"This is the white jade maiko jade belt? It's a pity that there are too many colors, and I can't tell that it's white jade. Lawyer Zhang Jie said.

"Why do you say it's something for officials above the third grade?" At this time, the policewoman looked at Mo Xiedao.

Mo Xie explained: "In the Tang Dynasty, the belt with ornaments of different materials was nailed with different materials, which was an important symbol of the imperial court's Ming rank and the distinction between high and low. The four-grade clothes are deep and crimson, and the gold belt is eleven rings. The five-grade clothes are shallow, and the gold belt is ten. The six-grade suit is dark green, the seventh-grade suit is light green, and the silver belt is nine. Eight products are dark blue, nine products are light blue, and Yu stone belts, nine are long. Shuren wears brass iron belt, seven rings. It can be seen that only officials above the third rank can wear jade belts, second-echelon officials can only wear gold belts, and third-class officials can wear silver belts. ”

"That old man, is there really such a statement? It looks like what the kid said. The policewoman looked at the old man and said.

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, there is such a saying, and the law of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulates that those who use utensils below the first grade shall not use pure gold or pure jade for food." It can be seen that the status of jade is by no means inferior to gold.

The Tang people's understanding of the material nature of the utensils is jade first, followed by gold, and lacquer again. Although the law strictly restricts the use of jade by the people, people still rush to chase jade.

Therefore, simply looking at this jade belt, it cannot be proved that it is used by officials above the third grade, but with Tang Sancai and other things, it can be proved, after all, these things can only be owned by rich and powerful people no matter what era they are.

The documents of the Tang Dynasty also recorded that each pair of jade belts in @ Khotan could be sold for 3,000 guan, and a small mansion in Chang'an City at that time was worth about 200 guan, which was worth 30 million yuan according to the market price of the Tang Dynasty, which was an astronomical amount at that time. ”

"Ten pairs of this thing have been unearthed." Mo Xie said again.

"Nice boy! Looks like you really know where this thing came from. The old man said with a smile.

Mo Ye smiled and said: "I can also see this jade belt, after all, jade artifacts from the Sui and Tang dynasties are rare, and it is not difficult to identify." ”

"Well, jade in the Sui and Tang dynasties is really rare, and this jade belt is not low." The old man nodded in approval.

The development of Chinese jade history to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties seems quite "silent", because there are few unearthed cultural relics, and the representative works are even more unknown, so many people regard the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, and set the tone as the "decline period" or "fracture period" of Chinese jade history.

This kind of judgment based on the number and type of jade artifacts excavated by archaeological excavations is unreasonable in Mo Ye's opinion, and not discovering it does not mean that there is none.

However, 90% of the current archaeological excavations are from tombs, because jade was mainly used as ritual vessels in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, while jade in the Han Dynasty was mainly used for funeral purposes, and will appear in large numbers in the tombs of princes and nobles, so they can be preserved and excavated by today.

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, jade was difficult to find in the tombs, but this can only be inferred that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people's ideological concepts underwent a great change, and jade was no longer used as a ritual or funeral object, creating a new system of using jade.

Social customs have changed, the use of jade has also shifted, and due to the prevalence of Taoism and metaphysics, and some people advocate eating jade, these have led to very few jade objects that have survived to this day.

To a certain extent, this change in the use of jade was also inherited by the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there are now far fewer Sui and Tang jade artifacts unearthed from tombs and cellars compared with the previous generations.

The Sui Dynasty was short, and there were only a few kinds of jade unearthed at present, and the Tang Dynasty had a long history, although there were not too many unearthed jade, mainly concentrated in a few places such as the cellar of Hejiacun and the tomb of Mrs. Luo @ Yang Qiguo, but this does not mean that the jade of the Tang Dynasty was not noble and not popular.

Many historical materials and jade belts unearthed in Hejia Village show that jade was "higher" than gold and silver in the Tang Dynasty, and became a symbol of the highest level of court etiquette.

Therefore, as long as you find an ancient tomb of a Tang Dynasty official, it is very likely to find jade ornaments, and this time, it is obvious that the tomb of a Tang Dynasty official has been stolen.

"Do you know which official it is?" The policewoman's eyes lit up and she continued to ask.

However, no one spoke this time, even Mo Ye didn't speak, just such a few things, and there were no seals and other things, how could it be possible to prove the identity of these things?

After the silence fell in the field, behind the big screen, in another office across the wall, someone was watching Mo Xie and them.

"I'll just say it's a good idea, with these guys, we can even save the cost of asking someone to identify it." The rugged policeman who was pretending to be a stall owner in Panjiayuan spoke.

"Please? Which experts are so easy to call? If you invite you, you still owe a favor, and we can't repay this favor, but it's still so good. The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy said.

"As far as you can, do you know that fishing law enforcement itself is illegal? If it weren't for the fact that these guys often walk by the river and don't dare to take us seriously, do you think they would be so honest? Another man spoke.

"Isn't that the result good now?" The rough cop laughed.

The guy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks also said flatteringly: "It's still the captain who is wise, if Zhang Jie hadn't been put in, and there was a lawyer inside to scare them, these guys would definitely not be so obedient." ”

"Pull it down! These people here are all old foxes, if it weren't for greed, if it wasn't for your deliberate lure, they would have been caught by us? Zhang Ke, the captain of the criminal police team, sneered.

"Anyway, if they catch it, they can only help for free." The rough man Li Libiao said.

"Let Xiaofei be careful, don't get caught up in their ways, especially pay attention to those guys who don't speak, a few of them are sitting merchants, there must be a way to find out who the owner of this batch of goods is." Captain Zhang Ke reminded again.

"It's a pity that it was too unexpected at the time, otherwise it would have been easy to handle the case." The sharp-billed monkey cheeks.

"Zhang Zhengyi, let me remind you, before this incident is over, you don't show your face, if you let those guys know that you are also a policeman, you will definitely suffer." Zhang Ke warned.

"The last two young men knew I was a police officer." Zhang Zhengyi said.

"The guy who spoke? He's also a smart guy, since he's not making trouble now, he should be fine, you go to the train station again, take a good look at the surveillance footage, and see whose suitcase it is, it's impossible that no one is close to this suitcase. Zhang Ke said with a headache.

I didn't expect that during the routine inspection, a batch of freshly unearthed antiques could be found, but the problem was that the criminals found it wrong and didn't pick up the suitcase at all.

got something and didn't catch the suspect, their criminal police team was unlucky, because there was Tang Sancai in it, and they might not know anything else, but Tang Sancai was too conspicuous.

"If the old guys don't speak, ask the young man alone, and if he has any more meritorious service, he can return the money to them." Zhang Ke pointed at Mo Ye and Saleh. Sheikh Dao.

"The two of them also have two knives and a purple clay pot." Zhang Zhengyi, who had not yet left, spoke.

Zhang Ke immediately looked straight and said, "Knife? ”

Li Libiao immediately explained: "It's not like that, it's a personal item, the foreigner's eating knife, which is used to cut the mutton." ”

"What about the other one?" Zhang Ke asked.

"The young man named Mo Ye just bought it, it was called the Jie Jie Knife, and it cost three thousand, and the purple clay pot also cost three thousand, and I heard that it has ten times the profit." Zhang Zhengyi said with a wicked smile.

Zhang Ke said thoughtfully: "Then it proves that they are knowledgeable and know the actual value of things, so we can infer that they bought the stolen goods even though they knew that they were stolen goods." ”

"Yes, so that kid is very positive, this is to be guilty of meritorious service." Li Libiao said.

"Then use them as a breakthrough, those old guys are too cunning to ask anything." Zhang Ke said immediately.

With the direction, the movements of these policemen are still very fast, so Mo Ye and Saleh. The Sheikh was separated and asked questions separately.

Mo Ye looked at Li Libiao in front of him, if he was timid and was glared at by this guy, he would really be afraid.

"You know why we're arresting you, right?" Li Libiao asked.

Mo Ye shook his head directly: "I don't know, we are good students, why are you arresting us?" ”

"Hehe, I don't know those are stolen goods? You know what those jade are. Li Libiao said.

Mo Xie smiled and said, "I just recognized it, otherwise I bought those broken jades, not my classmates." ”

"Tell me about the three items you bought, why did you buy them? Do you know their value? Li Libiao took out the anti-appetite knife that Mo Xie had bought and looked at it carefully in his hand.

Mo Xie naturally also saw the anti-eating knife, so he said: "If this anti-eating knife is well preserved, it is worth 90,000 yuan, and the other three things, 10,000 yuan is more, if you don't like it, I won't give out 3,000." ”

"Huh?" Li Libiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to ask.

Mo Ye continued: "Do you think those three pieces of broken copper and iron are worth 10,000 yuan? If they are really worth 10,000 yuan, there are so many connoisseurs in front, why don't they buy them? Hehe, while I'm in a good mood, I'm still willing to cooperate with you, just ask what I have, if I'm tired, I won't cooperate with you. ”
