Chapter 16 Old Paper Is More Expensive Than Famous Paintings!

Holding three books, Lin Dongle looked at the things he wanted while walking forward.

It's a piece of cardboard, dark yellow, with a small red bell print on it.

This piece of paper should have been used by the original owner of the book as a bookmark, and when Lin Dong was looking at it at the stall, he found the paper sandwiched in the book, and the real information of this piece of paper immediately flashed in his mind.

Lin Dong is not a businessman who forgets his righteousness, and he doesn't know if the owner of the book knows the true value of this thing, or whether he knows what it is.

If it's just because of negligence, then you have to remind the other person.

But after listening to the stall owner's words, Lin Dong was relieved. After paying 30 yuan to buy three books, he was in a really good mood!

The Jinsu Mountain Tibetan scripture paper is the paper used by the monks of Jinsu Temple to copy the scriptures.

Jinsu Mountain is in the southwest of Hai (Yan) County, ZJ Province today, there is Jinsu Temple at the foot of the mountain, and the temple has the Tripitaka copied in the Northern Song Dynasty. Dong Yu of the Ming Dynasty said in the "Continuation of the Water Chronicles": "The Great Compassion Pavilion stores two letters of the Great Tripitaka Sutra, and more than 10,000 volumes. Its character scroll is the same, the same as the book of the first hand, and its paper width has a small red seal called 'Jinsu Mountain Tibetan scripture paper'. The results of modern scientific and technological inspection show that the "Jinsu Mountain Tripitaka" is made of different raw material paper, which has hemp paper, there is also mulberry paper, the leather paper is the majority, the paper is yellow or light yellow, the surface is applied wax, and then calendered treatment, so the curtain is not obvious, the paper is hard, and the yellow medicine is yellow after being stained, and it has the function of preventing insects. "Jinsu Mountain Tibetan Scripture Paper" paper is heavy, the texture is coarse, fine and smooth, immortal for a long time, and it is very precious.

This is the information that flashed through Lin Dong's mind after seeing the hard yellow paper.

What made Lin Dong even more excited was another piece of information: a complete piece of Jinsushan scripture paper was auctioned for 299,000 yuan at auction in 2014, which is worth more than many artists' paintings!

The reason why Jinsu Mountain Tibetan scripture paper is so expensive is that it is scarce, and secondly, since the Song Dynasty, the paper is mostly the introduction of precious calligraphy and painting for calligraphers and painters. In later generations, many people even peeled off the pages of the scriptures that had been copied and used them for decoration, so that the paper became famous all over the world. As far as paper is concerned, this kind of paper has gone through thousands of years, only a little bit of color, but the quality is intact and tough, it is really a rare treasure.

Being able to see such treasures on such a small Taobao street, how could a nerd like Lin Dong not be happy?

What's more, this is a complete piece of scripture paper!

Lin Dong looked down at the paper carefully as he walked, the three people in front of him were facing him sideways, looking at the things on a stall, just when Lin Dong was about to bump into one of the middle-aged people, the young man who had been vigilant among the three people pushed him, and said unhappily: "Walk with eyes!" What to see? Hit someone! ”

The man used a lot of strength, Lin Dong was stumbled, almost fell, although he was slightly angry in his heart, but there was no hostility, after all, he was careless, he stood firm, said "I'm sorry", and prepared to leave by detour.

The middle-aged man's attention was attracted, his eyes swept over Lin Dong, and suddenly fell on the piece of paper in his hand, and then he subconsciously grabbed Lin Qi:

"Huh? Stand still, lad! ”

Lin Dong was displeased, didn't he almost bump into him? has apologized, and the other party has also made an almost rude move to push himself, what do you want to do now?

"Lin Dong?"

The three of them were looking at the girl in the stall next to them who was affected by the noise, and turned their heads in displeasure, but was surprised to find that it was Lin Dong.

"Ji Yao?" Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the girl who was blocked by the middle-aged and young people sideways was Ji Yao!

It was still a long hair shawl, the slightly curly long hair half covered the face, and he was wearing a windbreaker, hiding his delicate face and slender figure, and his eyebrows were captured by Lin Dong because of the surprise that disappeared when he met Lin Dong.

"Xiao Yao, do you know each other? That's great! The middle-aged man said excitedly, "This is your classmate?" Come on, come on, introduce! I'm Xiao Yao's uncle Song Zhiguo, little brother, what's your name? ”

Lin Dong was not sluggish, most of the other party's eyes fell on the scripture paper in his hand, the purpose was clear at a glance, he didn't break it, and said with a smile: "My name is Lin Dong." ”

"You're shopping too?" Ji Yao saw the book in Lin Dong's hand, and raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to take the graduate school entrance examination?" ”

The middle-aged Song Zhiguo listened to the conversation between the two people, and his interest in Lin Dong increased greatly, but he knew that his niece Ping Suli had never been pretentious to young boys, and today he actually took the initiative to ask a boy a question, is this ......

The young man saw that Lin Dong and Ji Yao were familiar with each other, and Song Zhiguo was interested enough in Lin Dong, so he took a few steps back and stopped talking.

Lin Dong shook his head, raised the Jinsu Mountain Tibetan scripture paper in his hand and said, "I don't plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the main reason for buying the postgraduate examination book is for it." This kind of precious East XZ is in the book, and it really feels like a tyrannical thing! ”

As soon as Song Zhiguo heard Lin Dong say this, he knew that this young man probably already knew the true value of this paper, and his mind to pick up the leaks was much lighter, but he was more interested in Lin Dong. Nowadays, there are really not many young people who can know the origin of this paper! Although this paper is expensive, it is in the collection world, and this thing is not as famous as porcelain and jade, and it is out of the calligraphy and painting collection world, who will pay attention to this kind of out-of-the-way thing? This alone is enough to show that young people are probably much more knowledgeable than ordinary people!

Looking at the paper in Lin Dong's hand, Ji Yao's mind quickly flashed several precious papers, and then quickly locked on one of them, her good-looking brows also wrinkled slightly, and her surprised expression was undoubtedly revealed: "It turned out to be the Jinsu Mountain Tibetan Scripture Paper?" You're in luck, too! ”

Listening to Lin Dong's explanation just now, and thinking about those books for graduate school entrance examinations, no matter how stupid they were, Ji Yao also guessed how Lin Dong got this paper.

"I just heard that you missed it in the morning, but I didn't expect it to come again now, your vision is really good!" Ji Yao couldn't help but admire Lin Donglai.

Coming to this Taobao street, of course, it was the idea of Song Zhiguo, an uncle who loves to collect, and Ji Yao did not have the intention of picking up Taobao here, but she didn't gain much, so she also admired Lin Dong, a person who repeatedly challenged people's cognition.

Lin Dong was embarrassed, shook his head and said with a smile: "Good luck!" ”

Song Zhiguo easily interjected: "Young man, can you sell me this piece of paper?" ”

Lin Dong smiled: "As long as the price is right, no problem!" ”

He liked the paper, but at this stage, money was more important. Moreover, this kind of paper is safer and better preserved in the hands of people like Song Zhiguo, who like to collect.

Both of them were happy people, and they were soon sold for 330,000 yuan. First, the collection must be increasing in price year by year, and secondly, the paper is relatively well preserved. Both were more satisfied.

Seeing that Ji Yao and Song Zhiguo were still ready to continue shopping, Lin Dong said goodbye with interest.
