It is said that people who like to collect books like to leave their own "book collection seal" on the book, indicating who is in the collection. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, the collection of books began in the Song Dynasty. Song Taizu had the "Seal of the Secret Pavilion Book", and Song Huizong had the "Xuanhe" seal, most of these seals were on the calligraphy and famous paintings, and sometimes used in book collections. After the Song and Yuan dynasties, the collection of books and seals became more and more popular, with a wide variety of types, which have been passed down to this day.

The various wording of the book seals and the exquisite seals can not only leave clues for future generations to trace the origins, but also add luster to the books. Sometimes when I buy a beloved book and read it in the sunny window, I feel that the paper is as white as jade, and the ink is as smooth as fat, and I can't help but feel your seal, and the mark of vermilion on the plate.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, private book collections became richer, and many bibliophiles had special seals, especially the seals that indicated the ownership of the collections. For example, Mao Jin, a bibliophile in the Ming Dynasty, has dozens of books and seals such as "Yushan Jigu Pavilion Mao Zijin Book", "Jigu Pavilion Picture Secretary", "Mao's Original", "Jigu Pavilion" and so on. Zhu Yizun of the Qing Dynasty has "Xiushui Zhu's Qiancaitang Books", "Exposed Book Pavilion Scriptures", "Bamboo Soil House True Reward", "Bamboo Ridge Reader" and so on. Ye Changchi has "Five Hundred Prayer Banner Museum", "Wu County Ye's Visit to the Township Philosopher Secretary" and so on. These seals may be used as personal surnames, or in the name of one's own house and collection, or both, or occasionally indicating the edition and rarity of the book.

The collection of book seals has developed, gradually multiplied, full of tricks, what "descendants of Baozhi", "descendants of Yongbao" is not even more, directly use a poem as their own book seal.

Modern celebrity book collections also mostly use book seals. Such as Fu Zengxiang, Yuan Kewen, etc., their collection of books is extremely finely engraved. Among the new literati, the collection of books and seals is also very exquisite. According to Tang Tao's article "Book Seals": A-Ying's collection of books is extremely rich, and most of them are only stamped with a small Zhu Wen private seal, and the word "A-Ying" is sealed. Zheng Zhenduo often only signs his name on the cover of books in Western binding, and only adds the "seal of the Changle Zheng Collection" to the line-bound ones.

Most of the book seals are in the lower right corner of the first side of the line-bound ancient books. It is advisable to use Zhu Wen fine pen and thin edges, and it is best to use the kind of "round Zhu Wen" with a round and charming meaning, and it is not suitable to use a thick pen or a large wide edge of the seal.

At this time, this collection of books is printed in the lower right corner of the title page of the "Three Character Classic", and the handwriting also belongs to the charming "round Zhuwen", which looks very eye-catching.

The experts and scholars here, as well as the collectors and professors, are all masters of ancient books, and of course they are very clear about these book seals. As soon as I saw these five distinctive characters, I immediately recognized the original owner of this book, who is it? The famous "Second Prince" --- Yuan Kewen!

Who is Kewen Yuan? is Yuan Shikai's second son, one of the four sons of the Republic of China, a famous collector and bibliophile. His collection mainly includes: coins, ancient springs, seals, ancient books, stamps, etc.

Yuan Kewen, the word Hanyun, was called a prodigy when he was a child, learned to read and write at the age of six, read the scriptures and history at the age of seven, and learned to write articles at the age of ten. It's a pity that this person doesn't like his career, but likes to collect.

Yuan Kewen had a rich collection during his lifetime, obtained 116 volumes of 29 kinds of rare books of the Song Dynasty, signed the "Silk Song Book Collection", sat in the book city, and had the intention of driving Huang Pilie's "One Hundred Song Dynasty". The Song Dynasty carved towel box book "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Mao's Poems", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Li", "Book of Filial Piety", "Analects", "Mencius", and the Eight Classics Room was stored. He is the author of the manuscript of the synopsis of the Song book, which was later published by Mr. Zhou Shutao, entitled "Twenty-nine Kinds of Synopsis of the Song Book in the Handwritten Collection of Hanyun", which epitomizes Yuan Kewen's achievements in the study of ancient books (especially the Song version).

Yuan Kewen has the "seal of the second son of the emperor" on all the books in his collection, but on the original engraving of the Song version, which he especially cherished, there are five big characters--- "survive and die". As the name suggests, it shows his obsession with ancient books.

At this moment, looking at this legendary private collection of the second prince of Yuan, all the collectors and scholars present were boiling in their hearts.

Why do it?

First, who is Yuan Kewen? It is an honor for a famous bibliophile in modern times to be able to get his collection. Second, as we all know, Yuan Kewen is good at collecting Song edition books, so what does that mean, this book is undoubtedly a rare book of the Song edition.

Thinking of this, the hearts of the four major collectors were even hotter, and they directly exchanged words with the military advisors around them, as if they were discussing how to bid for the book next and win the book.

On the stage, Professor Liu continued to introduce the book, opening the inner page of the "Three Character Classic", and people were stunned again, looking at the different inner page.

You must know that the general Song version of the book is basically a large and wide book, a small version of the heart, but the book is a --- butterfly.

The butterfly costume of the Song Dynasty book is known as the most exquisite book in ancient times, and everyone has only seen it in books or museums before, but there is one in front of me, which can't help but make people ecstatic. Especially when I look at the pages of the book, the small plate frame is separated from the left and right two volumes, like a butterfly spreading its wings, the beauty is difficult to describe.

As the holder of this book, Lin Yi certainly understands everyone's mood at the moment, just like an idiot who sees a beautiful woman and can't wait to swallow this book directly.

Lin Yi smiled, it seemed that there was no need to introduce this book too much, just "ephedra paper", "Yuan Kewen", and "butterfly suit" could make everyone's fooling Yunxian want to die.

So Lin Yi gave Professor Liu a look, and Professor Liu understood what he meant, so he said: "This book was written in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is said to be the first version of the "Three Character Classic", so it is unique and extremely rare in the world. Now the reserve price is still 3 million, and buyers can bid one after another--- start! ”

This sentence was like an order on the stadium, and the four major collectors were all in high spirits and nervous.

Because they know that compared to the previous two books, this book is more precious and more worthy of ownership.

Butterfly outfit!

Butterfly outfit during the Southern Song Dynasty!

With a reserve price of only 3 million, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for them to pick up big leaks. But is that really the case? Don't forget, this is a clear bid.

The first bidder was Ding Qiye, "5 million!" ”

The next bidder was Zhang Siye, "6 million!" ”

Then there was Feng Wuye, "7 million!" ”

Everyone was shocked, what is this? Isn't it a minimum price increase of 200,000, how did this become 1 million? It's all 1 million plus it, which is too powerful.

By the way, what about Lu Sanye, see how much he will increase the price? People all looked at Lu Sanye.

Without hesitation, Lu Sanye made a bid, "10 million!" ”

Dizzy!

Faint!

No one expected that Lu Sanye would come up with such a huge price, and he would raise the price by 2 million all at once, it is obvious that he is bound to win.

The whole scene was in an uproar.

No one expected this kind of auction to be so fierce. It can be said that the intensity has exceeded everyone's imagination.

How so?

Soon, a thought came to everyone's minds.

Why didn't Lin Yi take these three books out for auction together, and why did he take them apart for auction.

Everyone knows that collecting a series is more valuable than collecting a single book, if Lin Yi took out these three ancient books of the Song Dynasty about children's enlightenment from the beginning, then it would make everyone more competitive, but he didn't, but he took it out one by one.

What does this mean? It shows that from the very beginning, Lin Yi came to the auction with the mentality of letting everyone pick up the leaks, and the reserve price he set was not high, and all three books were 3 million. It was Lu Sanye himself who gave up this opportunity to pick up leaks.

Now, it's even more like crazy bidding and crazy grabbing.

"10.2 million!" Ding Qiye couldn't help it first, and even increased the price by 200,000 yuan.

"10.4 million!"

"10.6 million!"

……

The price code is constantly being added. Lu Sanye's domineering spirit did not deter these three major collectors who were eager to get this book, on the contrary, it aroused everyone's fighting spirit.

However, before disagreeing, everyone added 1 million to 1 million to the price, and at this time, it was carefully increased by 200,000.

As witnesses and spectators, those experts and scholars, as well as collectors, were all excited, and finally saw the "grand scene" of the auction site that kept clamoring for continuous price increases. Although there are only four of them, they continue to increase the weights, which makes people's blood boil.

The price increase has lasted for four or five minutes, and the price of this "Three Character Classic" has risen to an astonishing 12 million.

The highest bidder now is undoubtedly Lu Sanye, his 12 million is like a mountain, stopping the other three collectors.

Zhang Siye, Feng Wuye and Ding Qiye all began to exchange words with the military advisors around them, as if they were discussing the bid for this book.

You must know that the reason why this book can be raised so much is that it belongs to the Southern Song Dynasty version, and it is a butterfly-bound version.

However, according to the record of the auction price on the ancient book market in the past, 12 million has indeed come to an end.

In particular, the strategists took out their laptops and tapped on the keyboard with their fingertips, searching for the latest information and auction prices.

So much so that the atmosphere of the whole scene was very weird, only the sound of the keyboard snapping was heard, and some people were breathing rapidly.

Just when Lu Sanye thought that the overall situation had been decided, and this book almost belonged to him, he only heard a voice say: "I will give 13 million!" ”

Everyone was surprised, because this time it was not any one of the four major collectors, nor the collectors and scholars here, but Professor Liu Yuliu, who had been acting as the master of ceremonies.

I saw Professor Liu gritting his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, and repeated his words again with burning eyes, "I bid 13 million for this book!" ”

Everyone was stunned, what was going on?

Isn't it true that only the four major collectors are allowed to participate?

What kind of hysteria did this old man commit, and he even came to stir up the situation?

And one bite to 13 million, two words --- awesome! (To be continued.) )
