Chapter 1230: Chunhua Ingot Treasure
"You're talking like you're going to a banquet!" Cao Xuanqi was a little unconvinced, "This tableware is greasy, and the people who attend the aristocratic banquet are not poor!" ”
"At that time, Europeans had never seen such a beautiful thing, and they were amazed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and it's not just a matter of money, it's too little, it's not easy to buy. Later, Longquan celadon was smuggled to Europe in large quantities, and many people were proud to use Longquan celadon. Tang Yi smiled.
"This is indeed documented, and besides, he is not a man who likes to tell nonsense." Liao Mo'er tugged at Cao Xuanqi's sleeve.
Cao Xuanqi originally wanted to make fun of Liao Mo'er, but Tang Yi and Liao Mo'er were more serious when they talked about antiques, and she didn't speak in the end.
The four of them continued to shop, Liao Moer had never started it, and Gao Taiming had the most hands.
Tang Yi only got his hands on it once, and that was to take down the Shadow Blue Powder Box.
Walking and walking, in front of a stall of old furniture, Tang Yi got started for the second time.
This stall is very large, it is a merger of two stalls, and there are some old furniture such as tables and chairs, and some old plaques and wood carvings.
However, what Tang Yi picked up was a small wood carving wall hanging.
Wall hanging, and calligraphy and painting function is almost the same, that is, there is a decorative role on the wall, but it is a wooden frame and wooden board, generally speaking, it is a wooden board relief.
This wall is not big, half a meter square, carved is a three-legged golden toad, and there is a string of copper coins in the mouth, there are three.
These three copper coins are inlaid with real copper coins, which is the most special place to hang on this wall.
After Tang Yi understood, he touched the place of the relief and asked the stall owner, "How to sell this wall hanging?" ”
There were two people in this booth, both men, one old and one young, the old one was in his fifties, he was middle-aged and old, and the young one was a young man in his early twenties.
The young man looked at Tang Yi, turned his head and asked the middle-aged man who was busy, "Second uncle, how do you sell this hanging board in Nanyu?" ”
The accent is a northern accent, and most of his names are also northerners, which is because the uncle and nephew came to the south to do business.
Because this wall hanging is beech, beech is a southern tree species, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is commonly used in folk furniture. But at that time, many northerners didn't know each other, and thought it was a bit like elm, so it was called "South Elm", and this name still exists today.
"Wait." The middle-aged man shouted, neatly finished the work at hand, and walked in front of Tang Yi, "Little brother, this is the wall hanging of the Ming Dynasty, but it has been cracked and repaired, are you sure you want it?" ”
"Well, I can see that I have made up for it." Tang Yi nodded.
"This craftsmanship is good, and you can see that the copper coin in the golden toad's mouth is also well done. Hurry up, and get five thousand dollars. The middle-aged man said.
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, although the three copper coins were defaced, but if you look closely, you should be able to see that they are "Chunhua ingots", how can you say that they are well done? It's obviously a real copper coin.
After thinking about it, too, this Chunhua ingots are regular script versions, and they are four words written by Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong, to be honest, it doesn't look good at first glance. And these three copper coins are more special, a little less regular.
Song Taizong used five era names, but only three era names issued copper coins, Taiping Tongbao, Chunhua Yuanbao, and Zhidao Yuanbao. It is said that it is all his handwriting, the emperor's handwriting, which has to be called the imperial script. However, his handwriting is indeed a bit worse than the later Song Huizong's handwritten book "Chongning Tongbao", Cai Jing's "Chongning Heavy Treasure" and other Song money.
Tang Yi looked at the middle-aged man, "Can it still be cheap?" I'm in business, so I fell in love with the gold toad on this old wall. ”
"It really can't be cheap, I'm from the north, this batch of business is done, and I'll go back next week, all of which are at a disposal price." Look at the old wall of the Ming Dynasty that opened the door! "The middle-aged man is very resolute.
As soon as Tang Yi heard it, he knew that there was no fun in bargaining, "Okay, then I want it." Where did you get this thing from? ”
As soon as he heard that he wanted it, the middle-aged man said happily, "There are two sets of tables and chairs here, which were collected in Jin Province, and this wall hanging is coming together." ”
Tang Yi was secretly happy in his heart, the place should be right.
The payment was cleared, but this wall was not hung lightly, and it was too tiring to continue shopping, so Gao Taiming asked Liao Moer and Cao Xuanqi to continue shopping, and he and Tang Yi went to the storage office of the market to store the things first.
"This thing is very ordinary, and it has been made up, and the amount of Chunhua ingots is not small, what do you want this for?" Gao Taiming asked as he walked.
"This is not an ordinary Chunhua ingot, it is relatively dirty and cannot be seen clearly. But the red is green, I look like-" Tang Yi looked around, "Buddha statue money!" ”
"Huh?" Gao Taiming was taken aback, he believed in Tang Yi's eyesight, "Forget it, don't send it to the storage office yet!" There are tools for sale here, find a secluded place, pry it down first! Just make up for it after hanging on the wall! ”
Since it is a Buddha statue money, the front is a "Chunhua ingot", and the back is naturally a Buddha statue!
Nearly 30 years ago, Wutai Mountain Yanjiao Temple was overhauled, and migrant workers found a batch of Chunhua ingots under the base of the tower. These Chunhua ingots are different from ordinary standards, rust color is rare, and the color is red and faintly green. It's money!
Moreover, on the back of this Chunhua ingot, there are two Buddha statues cast on the left and right! Of course, such things were naturally taken away by the cultural relics department.
However, this kind of Buddha statue money has also appeared in the market. It's less, but it's there. And it also appeared at auction later, and the highest price in an international auction exceeded one million.
What's the matter with the money for these Buddha statues? This is specially built by Zhao Guangyi craftsmen of Song Taizong, and it is enshrined in the Yanjiao Temple of Wutai Mountain!
Zhao Guangyi, the emperor, is a bit special, because Zhao Kuangyin has a son, but the throne is taken over by this younger brother! There are many different theories.
According to historical records, late one night in October of the ninth year of Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi were in the palace, and the two brothers drank and discussed.
What's even more interesting is that in the middle of the night, Zhao Kuangyin, who was only fifty years old, suddenly died! It was originally good, but it was very bizarre to leave. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne and became the emperor, and said that there was a suicide note hidden in the golden treasure by his mother Empress Dowager Du as evidence, and Zhao Kuangyin's throne was passed on to his younger brother but not to his son.
This is the famous Golden Alliance.
Whether it is Zhao Guangyi's murder of his brother is not proven by tangible historical data, and there are various speculations in wild history. But later, Zhao Kuangyin's two sons died one after another! After Zhao Guangyi consolidated the throne, he began to drive his own expedition to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. On the way, Zhao Guangyi met a county official, this person was named Song Jie.
It's really a good luck, a great victory in the Song Dynasty!
And not only is there a good fortune, but the facts are also true. Zhao Guangyi captured the strong and impregnable Taiyuan City, destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and basically completed the unification of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In Taiyuan City, he did two big things. First, Taiyuan was renamed Pingjin County, and a T-shaped street was built in the county to "nail" the dragon vein of the rebellion. Second, let the local craftsmen create a batch of pure gold "Chunhua ingots", with a Buddha statue on the back, Buddha blessing money, enshrined in Wutai Mountain Yanjiao Temple, which is regarded as a great victory to the Buddha vows.
