Chapter 477. Fire and water are incompatible
After Lin Yi officially announced that the last Song edition of the book would be decided by "open price bidding", Professor Liu Yuliu, who "took people's money and eliminated disasters with people", took the initiative to stand up again, ready to continue to use his mouth to bloom lotus flowers to cheer for this last Song edition book, so that everyone's blood became more hot while boiling.

Professor Liu Yuliu took a deep breath, he knew that the auction of this Song version of the book in the end would directly determine his commission of three thousandths--- knowledge is power, let me use the power of knowledge to make a big profit!
Thinking of this, Professor Liu began to speak. He said, why is the current Song version of the book so precious, even more expensive than gold? In fact, not only the Song version of the book, as long as it is a rare book of some years, with the changes of the times, it has become a "cultural relic-level" treasure. It is sought after by some big collectors and new players.
Why do it? In a word, scarcity is expensive!
Next, Professor Liu Yu talked about the top ten disasters suffered by books in history---
The First Calamity: During the Warring States period, scholarship flourished, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and many books were written.
After the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin unified the whole country, he implemented the policy of ignoring the people and ordered the burning of books, except for books on medicine, divination, and agriculture.
The Second Calamity: After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the country attached great importance to culture and began to collect suicide notes. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a large collection of books.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Red Mei Army entered Chang'an and burned it.
The third calamity: the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu Zhao, dedicated to collecting, Lantai, Shifu, Hongmei, and Dongguan are all full of books.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo coerced the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, burned Luoyang, and lost a lot of books. Wang Chong collected them and obtained more than 70 cars of broken books. Later, Li Yi and Guo Yan resumed the rebellion, and the remnants of the book were also burned.
The Fourth Calamity: At the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Cao's father and son were fond of literature, devoted themselves to the collection of cultural classics, and ordered the secretary Lang Zhengmo to organize the book catalog "Zhongjing". Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty inherited this system, and the secretary of the edict Xun Xun compiled the "New Book" according to the "Zhongjing", and for the first time divided the classics into four parts, including the group of books.
In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, during the Yongjia period, during the Wuhu Rebellion, Liu Cong, the leader of the Huns, invaded the capital and burned it.
The Fifth Calamity: During the Five Hu Chaos, a large number of scholars and doctors fled to Jiangnan, and a large number of books also moved south.
In the last years of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu, Hou Jing broke the capital, the secretary province was burned, and a part of the Xingwende Hall remained.
Later Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi raised troops in Jiangling, defeated Hou Jing, collected more than 70,000 copies of Wende Hall and folk books, and transported them to Jiangling. Xiao Yi searched all over the world and obtained a total of 140,000 volumes, which can be called the first private collection of royal books.
The army of the Western Wei Dynasty went south and surrounded Jiangling, Xiao Yi saw that the general trend had gone, hid in the inner hall, surrounded himself with books, and was in flames. The burning almost burned the books in the south of the Yangtze River, at that time all the books were manuscripts, mostly rare books, now only Xiao Yi's "Golden Building" is a kind. This catastrophe is suffocating.
The Sixth Calamity: Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian and Emperor Yang Guang of Yang are both good books and are committed to book collection. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty traveled, and books were also brought there.
Houyu Culture and Guangling raised troops, and many books were lost.
The Seventh Calamity: Tang Taizong Li Shimin advocated literary affairs, and during the Kaiyuan period of Xuanzong Li Longji, it was a period of stability and prosperity of Tang culture, and a large number of classics were properly collected and sorted. The Jixian Academy, founded by Xuanzong, divides the cultural classics into four parts, A, B, C, and D, corresponding to the subset of classics and history.
During the Tianbao period, the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty book collection was greatly damaged.
The Eighth Calamity: Tang Suzong Li Heng and Daizong Li Yu began the restoration of cultural classics.
During the reign of Emperor Li Yi, the Huangchao Rebellion and the royal collection of books were destroyed again.
The Ninth Calamity: During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty and the reign of Emperor Zhao Ji Xuanhe of Huizong, the royal family was prosperous in literature and culture, and the collection of books increased greatly under the efforts of the state.
During the reign of Emperor Zhao Huan and Jingkang of Qinzong, the Jin people invaded, and a large number of cultural classics suffered catastrophe again.
The Tenth Calamity: Southern Song Dynasty, the northerners were peaceful, and with the prosperity of printing, Fujian and other places gradually became cultural centers. During the reign of Xiaozong Zhao Yan Chunxi and Ningzong Zhao Kuanjiading, the collection of books increased significantly.
During the reign of Emperor Lizong Zhao Yun Shaoding, the Yuan soldiers went south, and it became a disaster again.
There is nothing later in the Yuan Dynasty here, and the fate of paper books is even worse. As my generation knows, at least the Qing Dynasty's literary prison, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, the ten-year catastrophe, and the computer network have made the status of paper books like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year.
After saying this, Professor Liu sighed, quite desolate and mournful before Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, and said: "This is the fate of ancient books, bad luck is changeable--- 'water, fire and soldiers' were considered by the ancients to be the 'four evils' of books, and in fact, they are also the 'four evils' of many bibliophiles." In the past 100 years, many collectors have followed one another, gathered books and scattered books, and the big collectors have fallen and collapsed, but some new book collectors have continued to emerge until today. ā
In fact, it is precisely because of these deceased and emerging bibliophiles who have spared down on books and devoted themselves to protecting and disseminating them that the ancient classics have survived the calamities and still maintained their glory. Therefore, in a sense, the existence of bibliophiles is equivalent to the 'protector' of ancient books, the 'messenger' of cultural transmission, and it is their loving collection of books that gives us one more opportunity to appreciate the meaning of 'cultivating and reading heirlooms' and 'descendants of eternal treasure'. Therefore, every collector is great, noble, and worthy of admiration and praise...... A hundred years later, we may be buried in the yellow earth, but those real collectors will be recorded by those ancient books, immortal, and even immortal......"
After listening to Professor Liu's words, everyone was "stupid".
That's right, it's moving, it's inexplicably moving! The valve in my heart, which was filled with emotion, was opened.
The original blood boiling, the original excitement, sublimated from this moment to moving.
Why Books?
It turns out that we are inheriting and carrying forward our beautiful cultural traditions, spreading knowledge, we are the "protectors" of ancient books, and the "messengers of light" who pass on and culture, I am great, proud, and proud!
Lin Yi was also moved by Professor Liu's words, obviously, this is homework!
It seems that the commission he gives is too small, and he can say such touching words, which is worthy of being a professor-level collector.
In Lin Yi's heart, he wrote the word "service" greatly.
ā¦ā¦
Of course, after the sensational thing is done, the next step is to make persistent efforts to get down to business.
While everyone was still immersed in the beautiful reverie of being a great collector, Lin Yi announced, "The auction of the third Song edition book has begun---! ā
Everyone who was immersed in emotion was finally pulled back by Lin Yi's words.
The reality is brutal, because the fierce competition is about to begin.
Packing up his mood, Lu Sanye, as one of the four great collectors of Jinling, first straightened his mood and said to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, if you say start, let's start." As I just said, you take out the book, and then we take a look at it first, and you come up with an acceptable reserve price, and the four of us start bidding with each other, and whoever increases the price the most in the end will be the one who owns the book. ā
At this time, Zhang Siye, who had just won a sentence, opened his mouth and said: "In addition, I will make a little more suggestion--- you can increase the price, but if you want to play, you can play bigger, lest I pay 1 million yuan, and you only add 100 yuan...... In order to prevent this sneaky method of price increase, I think the minimum price increase in this auction will reach 200,000, do you think it is okay? ā
After saying this, Zhang Siye glanced at the other collectors with his eyes.
Ding Qiye and Feng Wuye said together: "You don't need to say this, we also have to put it forward, since everyone is bidding together, let's play bigger, be bold, don't mother-in-law and mother-in-law, what is more than 100,000, 7, 80,000...... Just use 200,000 as a chip, and so on! ā
Lin Yiwaner, originally he wanted to create a friendly auction, but unfortunately everyone seemed to be incompatible.
The other collectors, who were witnesses and spectators, nodded their heads for fear that the competition would not be fierce enough: "That's right!" It's not that everyone has no money, and they only add so many or two thousand or one hundred thousand at a time, and even we can't stand it. ā
Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't want to say anything more, things were too beneficial to him, if he was refusing to open his mouth, it would be either hypocrisy or foolishness.
So he directly beckoned Liu Jiaoshu, "Take out the third Song version of the book!" ā
Professor Liu seemed to have become accustomed to Lin Yi's orders, so he saw that he was wearing white gloves, and after a little rectification, he carefully took out an ancient book from one place.
Before the book was taken out, everyone began to speculate. In view of the fact that the first two Song editions of the book were the basic readings for children's enlightenment during the Song Dynasty, one "Thousand Character Text" and the other "Hundred Family Names" can be regarded as completely washing everyone's understanding of the Song version of the book. So everyone can't help but speculate whether this next book will be the same as the previous two, and it will also be a children's enlightenment book or something.
But this is unlikely, how can the children's enlightenment books of the Song Dynasty be auctioned together, if this is the case, it is too surprising. You know, it's not easy to come across one of the Song edition books, let alone three in a series.
Just when everyone was speculating, Professor Liu seemed to have put the ancient book under the scanner.
This time the book was wrapped in a goose-yellow brocade letter, perhaps because of its age, the letter looked a little old, mottled, and even worn out in some places, revealing the cardboard inside. However, these are not the most important, the important thing is that the letter is embroidered with the pattern of "dragon and phoenix Chengxiang", which is rare on the letter, unless it is a certain family marriage, or there is a happy event, it will be so deliberately arranged. For example, when getting married, ancient books are used as a bride price...... Curiosity was aroused, and people couldn't help but rush to see the title of this ancient book---
I saw the big screen connected to the scanner, and soon the name of this ancient book appeared, and everyone was completely stunned when they saw it, because this book turned out to be --- "Three Character Classic"! (To be continued.) )
