Chapter 473. Southern Song Dynasty version of "Hundred Family Names"

As we all know, "Hundred Family Names" is a book about Chinese surnames, written in the early Northern Song Dynasty. The original collection of 411 surnames was www.biquge.info, which was later added to 504, of which 444 were single surnames and 60 were compound surnames.

The order of "Hundred Family Names" is not the actual arrangement of the population of each surname, because it is easy to read and easy to learn and remember. Among them, the beginning is "Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Chuwei, Jiang Shen Han Yang ......", "Zhao Qian Sun Li" became the first four surnames of the "Hundred Family Surnames" because the hundred family surnames were formed in the Wuyue Qiantang area of the Song Dynasty, so the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty emperor, the Qian family of the king of Wu Yue, the king of Wu Yue Qian Zhengfei Sun and the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty Li became the top four surnames of the hundred family surnames.

Because it has been widely circulated, almost since the Song Dynasty, various dynasties have various versions of "Hundred Family Names", and until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, "Hundred Family Names" is still enduring, and has been attracting attention as a children's enlightenment book.

From the Republic of China to the establishment of New China, during the ten-year catastrophe, in order to break the four olds and defeat the tumor of feudal culture, these originally catchy "Hundred Family Names" withdrew from the historical stage.

However, now, some of the more aristocratic schools have taken out this ancient enlightenment culture again, allowing children to read aloud, memorize, and vaguely, and the essence of the ancestors will shine again.

However, for collectors, the theme of "Hundred Family Names" is too ordinary. As collectors, many people don't even bother to collect these. Of course, there are also some collectors who directly regard "Hundred Family Names" as the theme of collection, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, from the Republic of China to the present, just collecting this series is also enjoyable.

Now, the Song version of the book with its own halo that Lin Yi took out turned out to be the well-known "Hundred Family Names", and there is no great mystery in the first place. Why, the content is so popular that many people can memorize it, so in terms of content, there is not much research value; However, after all, this is a Song version of the book, so everyone is still looking forward to seeing the beautiful engraving of this book......

In order to let everyone see the book more clearly, Lin Yi deliberately borrowed the video equipment at the auction to enlarge the book on the screen, so that everyone can see it clearly.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, because everyone is a collector and a master of ancient books, so you can see a "seal" in this book at a glance.

The big red "seal" has only three words--- over the cloud building!

……

If there are "Wudang", "Shaolin Temple", "Kongtong", "Huashan" in the martial arts--- Liu Damen faction in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"; Then there are "Haiyuan Pavilion", "Tieqin Bronze Sword Building", "Silk Song Building", "Eight Thousand Scroll Building", "Qianyun Building", "Guoyun Building", and called the "Six Great Collections" of Chinese ancient books.

Among them, the reason why "Guoyunlou" was able to catch up and become famous all over the world started from an auction in 2005.

In 2005, a batch of "Guoyunlou Collection" appeared in the auction for the first time, as the largest surviving Song edition, this is the only piece that can be circulated among the people, and it is also the only book at home and abroad, led by the only book in the United States, the Song version of the "Splendid Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers" all 80 volumes of 179 nearly 500 volumes of "Guoyunlou Collection" sold for 180 million, setting the highest price in the auction of ancient books in China.

This auction shocked at home and abroad, and also made "Guoyun Building" begin to enter everyone's eyes as a holy place in the collection world.

In fact, "Guoyunlou" is the famous private collection of Gu's family in Jiangnan, and the world has the name of "Jiangnan Collection A World, Guoyunlou Collection Jiajiangnan". After 6 generations and 150 years of inheritance, the collection has a total of more than 800 kinds of ancient records of the Song and Yuan dynasties, fine old copies, Ming and Qing dynasty carvings, and inscriptions. The Gu family has a family motto: the paintings in the cloud building collection can be reviewed, and the rare books in the family collection cannot be easily displayed. Therefore, the collection of books in the cloud building is placed in the secret room all the year round, and it is hidden.

It wasn't until Fu Zengxiang wrote "Gu Heyi's Bibliography" that the collection of "Guoyunlou" was revealed to the world. Fu's catalogue: There are 539 kinds of books in the collection of Guoyunlou, including 50 kinds of old books of the Song and Yuan dynasties, 165 kinds of fine old manuscripts, 149 kinds of Ming engravings, and 175 kinds of fine engravings of the national dynasty.

After Gu Heyi's death, four sons inherited the family property, among which Gu Gongxiong and Gu Gongshuo were the most outstanding. To this day, the Gu family still has a story about only calligraphy and painting, not a son. In 1937, after the July Seven Incident, the Japanese bombed Suzhou, in order to prevent the destruction of calligraphy and painting, the Gu family could only deposit the essence of the family collection of calligraphy and painting into the bank vault in the Shanghai concession. In 1938, on the way to Shanghai, the only car was stuffed with ancient books and paintings, and it was impossible to sit down. Gu Gongxiong immediately decided to leave his two sons in the attic of a small shop at Changshu bus station and transport the cultural relics to Shanghai first. When relatives in Shanghai saw the car, they anxiously asked, "Where is the child?" He replied, "It's still at the bus station, and we'll figure it out later!" ”

……

As a collector, Lin Yi of course also knows the value of the gold-lettered signboard of "Guoyun Tower", so he will show such a "seal" in front of everyone.

Because he knows that this "seal" is equivalent to the "Rolls-Royce" in the car, the "Chanel" in the clothing, and the "Patek Cuili" in the watch...... Brand value is intangible, and it is also the most touching to people's hearts, because people are greedy for vanity and are naturally extravagant.

Sure enough, including Lu Sanye, the four major collectors all widened their eyes, and some even whispered to the military advisors around them, as if they were discussing the price that should be offered. As for the other audiences, they were also amazed one by one, the collection of books in the "Cloud Building" is a treasure when you see the sky, it is worth the trip!

A single "seal" lured everyone to move, and some of them had to admire Lin Yi's psychological tactics, which completely pinched the hearts of collectors. Having this kind of scheming at a young age should not be underestimated.

Just when the four major collectors were discussing the auction price with the military advisor, Lin Yi once again showed the specific content of this "Hundred Family Names".

It turns out that this book is the Southern Song Dynasty version--- but unfortunately it is not the first version of the Northern Song Dynasty, otherwise, it may be a rare treasure. Even so, the exquisite engraving technology of the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the printing technology, completely conquered everyone present.

What is the beauty of Song books? What does it mean to be beautiful? It's all shown in this book.

"What is the reserve price of this book?" Someone asked.

Lin Yi said: "3 million." ”

Everyone started talking.

"3 million to buy a book of 'Cloud Building' is not much."

"yes, it's definitely a good deal, but unfortunately I'm not qualified to bid."

……

"The Song version of the book is sold according to the fragments, although this "Hundred Family Names" is not too thick, but the Southern Song Dynasty version, the carving and carving are particularly exquisite, plus the three words "Guoyunlou", 3 million, worth it!"

"It's not worth it, if you can buy it for 3 million, it's a big leak!"

"Yes, at the current price, a Ming edition book is worth a million, let alone this kind of superb Song edition book."

……

"Can you bid?" The first person who can't bear it is Zhang Siye in the "Four Great Collectors".

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "Of course you can." ”

The fourth master Zhang said a few more words to the military advisor beside him, and then wrote the price code and handed it over.

Seeing that Zhang Siye had made a bid, Feng Wuye and Ding Qiye also wrote the highest price in their hearts one after another and handed it over. Looking at their expressions, it seems that they are determined to win this Song version of "Hundred Family Names".

In contrast, Lu Sanye, who had always been immobile, also chatted a few words with the military advisor next to him at this time, --- an ancient book expert, and saw that the military advisor was holding a laptop, as if searching for something. After a short time, he seemed to have found what he was looking for, and then he fell into Lu Sanye's ear and whispered a few words. Lu Sanye smiled, nodded, and then picked up the card, wrote a bidding price code by hand, and asked people to hand it over.

At this time, all the four major collectors have finished bidding, and this Southern Song Dynasty version of "Hundred Family Names" treasured by "Guoyunlou" is about to usher in the final buyer---! (To be continued.) )
