Saying that, after the bidding of the "Four Great Collectors of Jinling" has been completed, it is time to reveal the answer, Lin Yi glanced at Professor Liu Yu, who had just introduced the knowledge of the Song version. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Professor Liu coughed, cleared his throat, and began to say: "This time, everyone bids to decide the winner at one time, and the one with the highest price will get this rare book "Hundred Family Names" of 'Cloud Building'. Now, I would like to announce the prices of the four collectors. ”

"Mr. Zhang, 4 million."

Everyone glanced at Zhang Siye, and the price increased by 1 million at once, which is not a small amount. Of course, this price also has the intention of picking up the leak, after all, the book is worth a lot.

"Mr. Feng, 4.5 million."

Everyone looked at Feng Wuye again, and this master directly increased the price by 1.5 million, which seemed to be just pressing on Zhang Siye's head.

"Mr. Ding, 5.9 million."

In an uproar, everyone looked at Ding Qiye again, and I have to say that this time his price was the highest, and he actually increased the price by 2.9 million.

Just when people thought that the overall situation had been decided, and almost 5.9 million yuan of this book was pocketed by Ding Qiye, Professor Liu read again: "Mr. Lu--- 6 million!" ”

Boom, everyone looked at Lu Sanye with admiration again, 6 million a Song version of the book, this price is really wonderful, just 100,000 yuan more than the opponent, and the most important thing is that he won.

The military advisor next to him smiled very proudly, and then said in Lu Sanye's ear, "How about it, Third Master, I guess it is good, the top price of this book is 6 million, and we are right to come up with this amount." ”

Lu Sanye is also very proud, winning is a trivial matter, the important thing is to win only 100,000 more than the other party, which shows that his strategy and vision are higher, this is the point.

Lin Yi was also very happy, because his psychological price for this book was the reserve price of 3 million, but he didn't expect it to be sold for 6 million in the end, which means that he made an extra 3 million all of a sudden, which doubled.

It's all money, how can you not be happy.

The collectors who watched the battle around were also very excited, because no one expected to see a Song version of the book sold for 6 million.

……

Then Lin Yi gave up his position and asked Professor Liu Yu to step forward again and continue to sensationally "tell" the story about the Song version of the book, so as to mobilize the tense and exciting atmosphere again.

Professor Liu Yu had the previous experience, and at this time he was even more eloquent, telling the stories of several bibliophiles.

The first story is "Wang Shizhen--- manor for books. ”

It is said that Wang Shizhen was the leader of the literary circle in the Ming Dynasty and a master of historiography, and his family was very rich in books. He claimed to have purchased more than 3,000 volumes of "Zhou Yi", "Book of Rites", "Mao's Poems", "Zuo Chuan", "Historical Records", "Three Kingdoms", "Book of Tang" and so on, all of which were finely engraved in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Shizhen is fond of books, so obsessed that he does not hesitate to exchange a villa for a rare book. Ye Changchi's "Chronicle of the Book Collection" recorded that Wang Shizhen "lost a strange book and lost a village, and the group was still in love with the old green box", which is this story. At that time, Wang Shizhen was overjoyed when he encountered a bookseller selling Song carving's "Book of the Two Han Dynasty"; However, he was eager to get the book and didn't have enough cash on hand for a while, so he agreed with the bookseller to exchange one of his mountain villas for this secret carving. Of course, the bookseller agreed, but poor Wang Shizhen lost his ancestral family business and owned this treasure book. There is probably no better book in ancient and modern times.

Wang Shizhen's collection is not cataloged. It is said that there was an old servant in the study, who was very familiar with the family collection; No matter what book Wang Shizhen wants, even a certain book, a certain volume, a certain page, or a certain line, he can find it immediately after saying that the old servant has made an agreement in advance. It can be inferred from this that the knowledge of the old servant is also very comparable.

……

After Professor Liu Yu finished telling this story, everyone couldn't help but sigh and sigh, the ancients were bookworms, and today's people can't compare to it.

Even Lu Sanye couldn't help but ponder, after all, everyone knew Wang Shizhen's name, and he was the Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng of "Golden Vase Plum". Therefore, Wang Shizhen's story deeply touched all the collectors present and made people sigh for the obsession of the ancients to collect books.

……

Seeing that everyone was attracted by their own stories, in order to complete the task assigned by Lin Yi, Professor Liu Yuliu made persistent efforts and told a second story, but it was "Zhu Dashao--- beautiful maid exchanged books. ”

It is said that in the middle of Jiajing, Zhu Jishi Dashao liked to collect books, especially the Song version of books. By chance, I learned that the former family of Wumen had Song carved Yuan Hong's "Later Han Dynasty", which was a handwritten commentary by three celebrities: Lu Fangweng, Liu Xuxi, and Xie Dieshan, and was decorated with ancient brocade and jade signatures. Zhu Dashao liked it very much, so he used a beautiful maid to change it. Because except for this method, the other party does not sell. When the beautiful maid was leaving, she wrote a poem on the wall, writing: "Cutting love out of the boudoir for no reason is better than when the predecessors changed horses." He is not melancholy when he meets every day, and the spring breeze blows all the side branches. Zhu Dashao couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw this poem, but for him, he loved books more than beauties.

In fact, as a great bibliophile, Zhu Dashao, in addition to the "Later Han Dynasty" that he exchanged for his beautiful maid, also had a Song engraving "Selected Notes on the Six Ministers", which had Zhao Ziang's inscription. Zhu Dashao regards these two books as the "keel" in his collection, and especially loves and cherishes them.

Zhu Dashao's friend Wang Shizhen exchanged the manor for the Song carving "Two Han Books", and after seeing his collection of "Selected Notes on the Six Ministers" in Zhu's house, he repeatedly wanted to get the two. It was Wang Shizhen who later had an inscription in the "Selected Notes of the Six Ministers...... It not only illustrates the bibliophile's love for books, but also witnesses the preciousness and rarity of the book. In addition to the rich collection of Song edition books, Zhu Dashao also has a large collection of manuscripts, all over the vermilion, which is valued by the world.

……

After telling this story, Professor Liu Yuliu smiled and said, "Okay guys, I'm going to get to the point. Compared with the great collectors in those two stories, Qian Qianyi, a famous scholar and bibliophile at the beginning, also spared no effort in searching for rare books of the Song and Yuan dynasties. After Wang Shizhen's death, his most cherished "Book of the Two Hans" was lost to the people, and Qian Qianyi worked hard for this book, searched for several years, and finally learned the whereabouts of the book, and bought it at a high price of 120 gold. However, it is a pity that two hundred years after Qian Qianyi's death, this "Book of the Two Han Dynasty" was once again lost to the people, and was purchased and treasured by another great collector in the late Qing Dynasty, and he was Lu Xinyuan. ”

"Lu Xinyuan? It turned out to be him! ”

"Yes, isn't he the owner of the 'Silk Song Building' of the Four Great Tibets in the late Qing Dynasty?"

"Yes, that's him!" There was a lot of talking.

Originally, in the late Qing Dynasty, domestic private bibliophiles called the "Four Great Collections" by Lu Xinyuan in Huzhou, the "Tieqin and Bronze Sword Building" by Qu's in Changshu, Jiangsu, the "Haiyuan Pavilion" by Yang's in Liaocheng, Shandong, and the "Eight Thousand Scroll Building" by Ding's in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. All four of them have been valued and respected by the academic community and the collecting community for their rich collections of books, precious documents, and atmospheric collection buildings.

And Lu Xinyuan's "Silk Song Building" has a collection of books, which is the first among the four buildings. After the war of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the collection of books was scattered, and Lu Xinyuan collected them at a low price, and purchased more than 48,000 copies from the Yijiatang family in Yusongnian, Shanghai. Later, Lu Xinyuan served as a salt official, and his wealth became richer, and he collected extensively, and the collections of countless collectors flowed into Lu Xinyuan's home.

So far, the famous town of Jiangnan in the "Silk Song Building", its collection of books is a single book, a rare book, a rare book is more, such as the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong time printed "Taiping Yulan", a total of 1,000 volumes, to the Ming Dynasty has been incomplete, only 351 volumes when it was handed down to him, this book is the ancestor of the carved book. The "Four Serials" published by the Commercial Press in 1935 is mainly based on this book, and other Song editions, such as "Continuation of the Ritual Sutra and Interpretation of the Passage" and "Shuowen Jie Zi" are extremely rare and precious editions.

Lu Xinyuan was buried in Yunchao Yishan after his death, if he was just an official, he would have been forgotten a long time ago, but it was precisely because he was a bibliophile and the owner of the famous "Silk Song Building" that Xinyuan Gong would go down in history forever.

……

"Since Lu Xinyuan is mentioned, could it be that the next Song version of the book, like the previous one, is actually from the 'Silk Song Building'?" Someone suddenly made a bold guess.

The others chimed in, "yes, it's possible...... The one just now is from 'Guoyun Building', and this one is from 'Silk Song Building' is also reasonable. ”

At this time, someone sneered: "You stupid, where is there still a Song version of the 'Silk Song Building' in China now, have you forgotten?" What is the most worrying thing in the history of modern book collection? ”

"You mean...... 'Book Collection' of the 'Silk Song Tower'?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent all of a sudden, and a solemn atmosphere spread among everyone. Even Lin Yi felt this "sorrow" and "sigh".

As a collector, Lin Yi certainly knows the so-called 'Silk Song Building' --- 'the misfortune of book collection'.

One early morning in the early winter of 1910, several large boats were parked next to the special river port of the Lu family's mansion in Yuehe, a household name in Huzhou City. The people of the Lu Mansion looked sadly as the porter with a Jiangbei accent moved stacks of ancient books from the Silk Song Building, which strictly forbade family members to go upstairs, and several Oriental people with Yilawa mouths were pointing at something proudly. The pedestrians beside the Moon River stopped to watch and whispered: "The eldest prince of the Lu family has sold all the ancient books collected by his old man to the Orientals: how much effort did his old man Lu Xinyuan spend to collect these books." The eldest son, Lu Shufan, lost money in his career, so he sold his ancestor's family cheaply, and he really did evil. ”

A few days later, the people of the Commercial Press hurried to Huzhou with a deposit of 60,000 silver taels raised from various sources, and saw only empty bookshelves and waste paper labels all over the floor.

The news that the collection of books in the Song Dynasty was sold to the Japanese Iwasaki Yanosuke Foundation Jingjiatang Library soon spread in the north and south of the river, and the domestic students and book collectors were extremely moved and shocked, and the national academic circles were shocked, calling it the "Silk Song House Incident", and the Jingjiatang Library became an important center of international sinology. A total of 18 kinds of ancient books in the library are listed as "important cultural properties" in Japan, and Lu Xinyuan's collection of Song and Yuan editions accounts for as many as 16 books, which shows the documentary value of the collection of the Silk Song Building.

……

At this moment, when everyone was speculating whether the next book would be the Song version of the ancient book that flowed out of the "Silk Song Building", Lin Yi beckoned Professor Liu Yu and said, "Let's start." ”

Then I saw that Professor Liu, under Lin Yi's instructions, took out the next Song version of the book to be auctioned---

The four major collectors present, as well as the experts, professors and scholars who were the audience and witnesses, all stared at the big screen with wide eyes and intently.

In the same way as the auction of the book above, it is also scanned with an instrument, magnified several times, and projected onto the screen, so that everyone can see it really and carefully.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Yi did not make a move this time, but asked Professor Liu to wear snow-white white gloves and gently opened the antique indigo-colored brocade box.

Let's not talk about the books inside, just look at this indigo brocade box, there are years, even if it is not the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, it is also the Republic of China period, that kind of ancient charm, modern people can't imitate it.

When everyone was studying the indigo brocade box, Professor Liu had already opened the brocade box, and then carefully took out a book.

The size belongs to the large open book--- the Song version of the book is generally this kind of large and wide book, small version of the heart style, so everyone is not surprised, but when I saw the cover of this book, and the three words on it, I was shocked again, because those three words are --- "Thousand Character Text"!
