Chapter 964: Jade Turquoise
Tang Yi looked at Gao Taiming, "What is the difference between you and Director Jiang?" ”
Gao Taiming replied directly: "This flat square was made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, this is no problem, the inlaid tourmaline, ruby, and sapphire are generally fine, and the problem lies in this turquoise." ”
Pointing to the small piece of turquoise lotus leaves, Gao Taiming continued: "In this turquoise era, Director Jiang thinks that it can reach the Han Dynasty, and I think it can reach the Tang and Song dynasties. ”
"Hmm." Tang Yi looked at the turquoise lotus leaves, "When I say strange, I also mean this turquoise." Judging from the pulp and jade Cheng dù, it is indeed a long time ago, a flat square of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, but such an old turquoise stone was used. ”
"How do you break the generation?"
"I have the same views as Director Jiang, and I also think that I can go to the Warring States period, or even earlier."
The history of turquoise products in China is very long, at least in the Xia Dynasty. The archaeological discovery of the Erlitou site is a clear proof of this, not only a large number of turquoise beads have been found, but also turquoise inlaid ornaments.
"For that long?" Gao Taiming said, "Maybe the texture of the turquoise itself is particularly good." ”
"No matter how good the texture of the turquoise is, it has to go through enough time to achieve this effect. I feel that the original texture of this turquoise stone is already very good, and the jade Cheng dù is already very high, and there are diǎn children that are not like turquoise. If you were to guess by ordinary turquoise, let me say that it is possible for three to five thousand years. Tang Yi said.
Gao Taiming slapped his face, "That's right! Some people in the collection office said that this is not turquoise, but a jade that has never been found, which is also the key to the controversy. If it is a jade that has never been found, it is even more difficult to guess the time. ”
Although Wen Jia is a layman about this, he seems to have thought of something at this time, "I said, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Tang and Song dynasties, the flat square made in the Qianlong period, it is not strange to take such a piece of turquoise from an old artifact?" Perhaps the original turquoise object is broken, or it may have been inlaid into something else. ”
Tang Yi explained, "You have to think so. This thing is not an ordinary jade piece, it is a palace jade piece, from Hetian white jade to tourmaline, ruby, and blue treasure are all newly made, why is the turquoise old? Even if this turquoise stone feels particularly good, but the palace jade pieces use old artifact fragments, it is not said that they can be used with it, there are all kinds of each £≌dǐng£≌diǎn£≌小£≌ said, .2●3.o√s_(); Kind of taboo! Unless the emperor makes a decision, and the emperor can't make a decision casually. ”
Wen Jia suddenly realized that the crux of the problem was that this flat square was a palace jade!
Jiang Yingnian took a cigarette, "I have never seen such turquoise, and I can only roughly infer it from the pulp and jade Cheng dù." And some people say that it is not turquoise, it is a kind of jade that has never been seen before, and it is not unreasonable, this jade is not only high, but also too natural. But if you want to do scientific analysis, you have to take samples, which will inevitably destroy the original. Whether or not to take samples for analysis has not yet been decided. ”
"Where did this thing come from?" Tang Yi then asked.
"It's a pity." Jiang Yingnian shook his head, "This thing was collected from the market, and I don't know how many hands it poured, so it's hard to determine the origin." But we're looking into it as well. ”
"This craft should be something from the Ruyi Pavilion, not used by the queen and concubine, or used by the princess. Even if the emperor used it as a reward, then at the very least, it would have to be a grade like Fujin or Heshuo Gege. Tang Yi thought for a while, "This one is particularly special, with such an old piece of turquoise, there must be some special meaning." ”
Jiang Yingnian looked at Tang Yi and slowly spit out a puff of smoke rings, "Do you think it is possible that it has something to do with the jade seal of the Heshi Bi Inheritance Kingdom?" ”
Tang Yi was stunned, "Does it matter?" Could it be that you think He's Bi is made of turquoise? ”
"This thing, with the most rigorous attitude, is not turquoise. If it is a very special kind of turquoise, the jade process itself is very high, and with such a long time of pulp, this effect appears. If not, it's a type of jade that has never been seen before. Jiang Yingnian continued, "Whether it is or not, from the source of He's Bi, do you think there is a coincidence?" ”
Tang Yi thought about it very deeply.
He's bi was originally found in the land of Chu, and it looked like a stone on the outside, that is, with a stone skin. There are many jade stones with this characteristic, such as Hetian seed material may have this situation, jadeite rough may have this situation, river mill jade may have this situation, and so on. Turquoise, on the other hand, may also be the case.
However, other known jade is basically not very likely to appear in Chudi, only turquoise, which is a specialty of Chudi. Moreover, the green is transparent and white, which is also in line with the special diǎn of some turquoise.
At the same time, there must be a condition, that is, the stone skin is particularly ugly or rare, and even experienced jade workers do not know it.
At that time, Bian He was in the middle of the Chu Mountain, dedicated to the king of Chu, and the king of Chu asked the jade worker to identify it and directly identified it as a stone. The level of the jade workers around the King of Chu is definitely not low, and in Chu, it is impossible not to know turquoise, even if it is a rough stone with stone skin!
Only a very special turquoise can make a jade worker make a mistake in judgment. This piece of turquoise stone undoubtedly has such a special diǎn, and the jade transformation is too high, so the stone skin may also be strange and rare.
If not turquoise, it is a type of jade that has never been seen before. Then Bian He's discovery of Puyu has a great chance of being unrecognizable, and it is more normal for the jade worker not to know it.
Regardless of whether the lotus leaf on the flat square is inlaid with turquoise or not, it is possible to have a kind of jade with He's Bi.
After deducing the possibility from the origin, Tang Yi muttered again, "However, even if Qianlong obtained the jade seal of the Heshi Bi Inheritance Kingdom, how could he destructively take off a piece and use it on the woman's headdress?" ”
"It doesn't have to be taken from the heirloom jade seal, it may also be something else. If you think about it from another angle, it must be carved to make a jade seal from He's family, and it is not impossible to make the remaining scraps into small accessories and small objects. Perhaps, it was from such a thing that Qianlong got the clue of the jade seal of the Heshi Bi country. ”
Tang Yi Lianlian, "Well, if Qianlong gets the Heshi Bi and takes the Eastern Tour with him, then this flat square can be imagined to be the Empress Fucha's at that time!" ”
"Yes. I got a rare fragment, and then I got the clue of the same material and the He's Bi, and finally got the He's Bi. This fragment was polished and carved into an ornament on the queen's head, and then he and the queen took the Heshi Bi to Mount Tai for sacrifice. That's exactly what I'm thinking. Jiang Yingnian responded.
"If the texture of He's Bi is really like this, then it will be too helpful to find He's Bi!" Tang Yi took the opportunity to raise the teacup, "Congratulations, Director Jiang." ”
