Lin Yi never thought that there would be two simple things that would allow him to really show his face in this God of Wealth Temple. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pick up thousands of missing grid books.

Identification of 8,000 manuscripts.

One shows that he has a unique eye, and the other shows that he is very knowledgeable. So much so that more and more people surrounded him.

At this time, a bibliophile from Anhui Province rarely met a noble person like Lin Yi, so he took the initiative to come to the front and told Lin Yi with an attitude of humbly seeking advice that his surname was Su, and he had just entered the industry and was a small boss of a dairy company.

Later, he was indignant, from delivering milk, to establishing a milk factory, and developing his own company's dairy products, and now has assets of 70 or 80 million, which can be regarded as a small achievement.

After his career was successful, he wanted to fulfill his childhood dream, but he became obsessed with collecting books halfway, especially those antique thread-bound books. However, because I don't know books, I have a lot of eyes in the process of shopping for books. Often, people take a sack of tattered thread-bound books, and he shoots them all, and the price given is basically a hundred yuan for a book, in his opinion, these books are hundreds of years old, and a hundred yuan is not much. Later, when I met my peers, I learned that the market price of a wire-bound book like that with different quality and no content is at most 30 yuan a piece.

Boss Su poured a stomach of bitter water on Lin Yi, saying that he had tossed almost three million yuan in this line-bound book collection, and the value was at most more than 300,000, and the rest were almost all waste paper. So he couldn't figure it out, is there a trick to collecting wire-bound books, and which ones are worth the thread-bound books?

When Boss Su was honestly asking for advice on the side, the other people next to him also felt the same way, and took their mobile phones to Lin Yi and started recording a video. Anyone who plays with old books, as soon as he plays deeply, will transition from ordinary books to wire-bound books and rare books. The knowledge on this is bigger, and the investment money is more, and it is no longer a small fight in the general book, but a bit like buying and selling antiques, the "water" is very deep, and it is easy to "drown" the dead.

Lin Yi didn't want to say too much here, but Boss Su's appearance was very sincere, coupled with the enthusiasm of the people around him, so he explained that the collection of ancient books should first look at the quality of the books. Secondly, look at the content, the four books and the five classics are common, and the subset of the classics and histories often says, these are all classified as ordinary books, even if they are hundreds of years, they are not of much value. Finally, it depends on the version, whether it belongs to the engraved version, the lead print, or the lithograph, or the tablet that belongs to which study, which is very important, and is even divided into the palace book, the official book, the workshop book, etc., which requires you to have some knowledge to understand.

To put it bluntly, the collection of ancient books is the most important in these three points: quality, content and edition.

After listening to it, the people around him seemed to understand it or not. That Boss Su also frowned. Lin Yi also knew that what he said so much would not have much impact on him, after all, he was not highly educated, and it was impossible for him to get in touch with too much knowledge of ancient book versions, even if he went to study hard now, it was estimated that he would not be able to figure out the truth.

But then, Lin Yi clicked on Boss Su, who loves to learn and collect books, that is--- not all ancient books are wire-bound books, so you should open your eyes a little.

It is said that in many costume dramas today, all scholars read, no matter which dynasty they have, they always hold a thread-bound book in their hands. In fact, not all ancient books were bound in threads, and the binding of paper books was mainly divided into various forms such as whirlwind binding, warp folding, butterfly binding, bag back binding, and thread binding.

The first binding method was whirlwind binding, that is, a long strip of thick paper slightly wider than the pages of the book was used as the bottom, and then the first page of the written page was glued to the outside of the end of the volume, and all the remaining pages should be glued to the bottom of the blank volume at the end of the first page without words at the right end. When not in use, it can be rolled up from beginning to end. When this form of binding encounters the wind, the pages will fly with the wind, like a whirlwind, so it is called a whirlwind load. On closer inspection, the Whirlwind Bundle has not departed from the legacy of the previous bamboo slips and silk scroll bindings, but it has made great progress in protecting the pages and retrieving readers, and it is the initial form of the transition from scroll bindings to album bindings.

The binding form that appeared in the same era as the whirlwind costume is also folded. At that time, people wrote on a long piece of paper, and after writing, they folded left and right repeatedly, folding them into a rectangular fold, the front and last pages of which were the front and back covers of the book, respectively, pasted with cardboard paper of equal size or thin wooden boards. Because the Tang Dynasty Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures have been used in this form for a long time, people call them sutra folding. This binding method has completely changed the scroll binding form of bamboo slips and silk books, and is more scientific than scroll binding in terms of re-inspection, text protection and book preservation, and is a regular album binding method.

"History of the Ming Dynasty - Art and Literature" records: "The books of the Secret Pavilion are all left behind by the Song and Yuan Dynasty, and they are all exquisite. The installation is folded upside down, and the surrounding area is extroverted, and the insects and mice cannot be damaged. This article is talking about a form of book binding called a butterfly binding. The emergence of butterfly binding is inseparable from the invention and widespread use of block printing, and this binding method has been used until the Song Dynasty. The process is as follows: each page printed on the engraving plate, with the side with the word shall prevail, folded in half face to face, folded into a square stack according to the order of the text, poked together, glued with paste page by page at the center of the reverse side of the page, and then used a piece of hard thick paper as the front and back cover. The book bound in this way is like a butterfly spreading its wings when it is opened and spread out on the table, so it is called a butterfly binding.

The butterfly suit also has disadvantages, one is because the page is folded on one side of the word, and after reading the two sides of the fold, it is blank on both sides, and it is necessary to turn it again to continue reading, which brings some inconvenience to reading; The second is to paste the glue on the back of the book, which will inevitably fall off after a long time, and the pages will be scattered at this time, which will also bring inconvenience to use. In the Yuan Dynasty, people improved this binding method and turned it into a bag back binding. The biggest difference between the back of the bag and the butterfly is that the pages with words are folded outside, and the mouth of the butterfly is used as the back of the book, and the fold is used as the mouth, and then a whole piece of paper is glued around the back of the book as the cover and back cover. This form of binding has been used until the Ming Dynasty, such as the famous "Yongle Grand Canon" is the use of the binding form of the back of the bag.

The thread-bound books that became popular in the middle of the Ming Dynasty can be described as one of the most advanced book binding techniques in history. The thread is the same as the bag back on the fold, but it is different from the bag back in binding. It is to cut the cover into two thick sheets of paper that are the same size as the pages of the book, one on the front and one on the front, and at the same time as the pages of the book, and then fix them together and bind them with thread. Thread-bound books are not only easy for readers to read, but also not easy to scatter, not only beautiful in appearance, but also economical and practical. Therefore, it has been popular until the beginning of the founding of New China, and even today's photocopied ancient books are often used in this binding method.

……

Lin Yi's words are much more "professional", those who have some knowledge of ancient books, of course, understand the specific meaning of Lin Yi's words, as for a novice like Boss Su, who is confused, rushes into the ancient book market after taking the money, and buys books wildly with thread-bound books, he is even more incomprehensible. But the more this is the case, the more the big guy thinks that Lin Yi is very knowledgeable, look, we can't even understand what people say. And so the applause rang out again.

Seeing this, Lin Yi also knew that he had said too much, and the other party was afraid that he would not be able to digest it, and when he didn't know how to "exit", he heard a greeting: "Brother Lin, it turns out that you are really here, we are so bitter looking for you!" ”

Looking at it, it was the big bald head Cao Yidao, as well as Huang Jiaotou, and Guo Zixing and the three of them came over excitedly.

As one of Lin Yi's few friends. Lao Cao Cao's knife belongs to the kind of leather goods, and his mouth can talk endlessly all day long; Guo Zixing belongs to the kind of old and sophisticated people, who are affectionate and righteous, but also pay attention to interests; Huang Jiaotou is a typical veteran, muffled and angry, who doesn't like to talk but is very righteous.

For these three friends, Lin Yi values them from the bottom of his heart, so no matter how dirty Lao Cao is, he can bear it.

In fact, with more contact with Lin Yi, a dirty person like Lao Cao can avoid having feelings for Lin Yi, otherwise he would not have taken a blow to Lin Yi's head when he met a robber. To put it bluntly, Lao Cao belongs to the kind of person who has a very smelly and cheap mouth, but is still very handy in his heart, otherwise if he doesn't talk about Lin Yi, Huang Jiaotou alone will beat him flat.
