Chapter 113: Fueling the Flames (I)

Advance? Cui Bao's "Ancient and Modern Notes": "Sun Quan, the Emperor of Wu of the Three Kingdoms, has six swords, one is called Baihong, the second is called Purple Lightning, the third is called Evil Spirit, the fourth is called Meteor, the fifth is called Qingming, and the sixth is Baili. ”

The names of these six swords are very distinctive, poetic, imaginative, and shocking, giving people infinite aftertaste space. But the years are merciless, and these six swords have disappeared in the long river of history.

"You mean, this is Sun Quan's sword?" Qin Xuebing laughed happily, this is a celebrity sword with a background and a background, and this alone can make it worth a hundred times. In addition, the forging process is peculiar, and it is immortal for thousands of years, and the value is unimaginable.

"That's why you kid took shit luck, this kind of thing can be touched by you."

Dean Zhong already had to admire Qin Xuebing's luck, the horizontal knife in the Tang knife, Tan Lun's saber, and Sun Quan's saber, which one is not a peerless treasure, but this kid was in the bag quietly: "The most important thing is that this Baili Sword even has a forging source, and it should be from the batch forged by Huang Wu in the fifth year." ”

Liang Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty described in the "Sword Record" that Sun Quan made ten swords and ten thousand swords in the fifth year of Huangwu, from which it can be seen that the sword has become a weapon for playing at this time, and the knife is a weapon for soldiers to fight, so a creation is calculated in 10,000.

"This hundred-mile sword is likely to be produced in this batch." Dean Zhong can't be sure, but it's very likely, because at that time, the sword had become a reward, and Sun Quan ordered the forging of ten thousand swords and ten swords, so these swords must be refined, either used by themselves or rewarded to the powerful and heroic. And the Baili Sword clearly indicates that Huang Wu has been in the past five years, and the relationship between the two sides is too close.

"Famous swords, there are provenances, celebrities use, historical records, amazing!" Dean Zhong sighed, eager to snatch the sword and run back to the Palace Museum.

"My collection is rich again!" Qin Xuebing laughed. He already has three famous swords in his hand, plus a rusty ring-head knife, which is quite rich.

Send Dean Zhong away. Qin Xuebing put all the collections into the safe, and then said: "The dragon turns to the square and the roots are impermanent, and the eyes are fixed with one stroke, grandpa." Someone has said this. ”

"What did you say?" Old Man Qin stood up suddenly, the death of the master and the disappearance of Qimen have always been a knot in his heart, he didn't expect to hear this news suddenly. To know. Those who can match this sentence are either the descendants of their lineage, or the best friends of the disciples, who can trust their lives.

Qin Xuebing said what happened in Jinmen: "Are we looking for a time to visit Uncle Shi in Jinmen?" ”

"I didn't expect the master to have a sworn brother in his old man's family, so he can't be sloppy in this matter."

Old Man Qin usually doesn't pay attention to etiquette, but he must not be rude in important matters, not to mention that the other party is an elder: "You have prepared all the gifts today, and tomorrow you will call the girl Zijing to go with you." Xiaoxiao also followed. ”

"Grandpa. Zhang Qiao will come to the capital tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. Qin Xuebing hurriedly said, Zhang Qiao's coming to the capital was made by him, and he will definitely take a picture tomorrow.

"Okay, then the day after tomorrow." Old Man Qin didn't know how to be flexible, he just wanted to go to the elders as soon as possible. If it drags on for a long time, it will be impolite.

"Xiaoxiao. Let's go out and buy gifts. ”

Qin Xuebing didn't dare to delay, it was not easy to pick a good gift: "Xiaobai, Xiaohong." You also go out together, and Xiao Hei stays at home. ”

Xiaobai and Xiaohong all jumped into Qin Xuebing's arms, looking at Qin Xiaoxiao vigilantly, for fear of being ravaged again, which made Qin Xuebing very dissatisfied, and snatched Xiaobai over with his hands and ravaged hatefully, while Xiaohong covered his eyes with his paws, not daring to look at the miserable fate of his companions.

"You two little ones are getting fine."

Qin Xuebing touched Xiaohong's brain, and patted Xiaohei again: "Wait for a few days when I learn to drive, and then I will take you out for a walk, and stay at home with grandpa." ”

At the same time, another round of publicity offensive for the treasure began, still Professor Huang presided over the press conference, and the location has also been moved to Beijing, the first question asked by reporters was: "Professor Huang, do you know that since the launch of the six top jadeite, the market price of jadeite has been bullish, and it has risen by 30 percentage points in just a few days." ”

"I'm so sorry that I've been working on these artifacts these days, and I can't find time to care about anything else." Dean Huang didn't want to waste effort on this topic, these were the result of market choices, and he was not an expert in market research, so he could only say that he couldn't help it.

"Professor Huang, you have returned to the capital, has the jade coffin also been transported to the capital?" The reporter immediately asked again, now they are most concerned about the jade coffin, and among the people, the highest voice is also the jade coffin.

"Yes, the jade coffin has been transported back to the capital, and we are currently carrying out the final conservation work, and we will be able to meet you at the Palace Museum soon." Professor Huang is completely step-by-step, as for how fast it will be, it depends on personal understanding.

"Professor Huang, the last press conference showcased six top-notch jadeites, did you bring anything good to share with you at this press conference?" The reporter asked again, they have already prepared in their hearts, even if they can't see the jade coffin, they have to get other valuable news, otherwise they won't be able to explain when they go back.

"Originally, I was going to take it out last, but you can't wait, so I'll take it out first."

Professor Huang happily took out a box from under the table and said, "But before opening the box, I have a few questions to ask you, if you can't answer it, then I won't open the box, the first question, what is the current price of Hetian sheep fat jade?" ”

Most of the people who can be sent to participate in this press conference have knowledge in this area, and even if they don't, they have hugged the Buddha's feet in advance, and soon a reporter stood up and asked: "Gold is priceless and jade is priceless, the price of jade has risen wildly in recent years, and the price of mutton fat jade has also risen wildly, and the current price per gram is between one and fifty thousand, and the bigger it is, the more expensive it is." ”

"That's right, the bigger the jade of the same quality, the more valuable it is. A piece of tens of grams of mutton fat jade can be sold for a high price of one or two hundred thousand yuan per gram, but if it is a few hundred grams of mutton fat jade, each gram can be worth forty or fifty thousand, or even higher. ”

Professor Huang nodded, this is the same as jadeite: "So does anyone know the style of jade in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"The jade of the Ming Dynasty inherited the characteristics of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the shape is rough, mostly based on the theme of daily life, the carcass is thicker, the carving is widely used, and the plane is carved with two layers of flowers, commonly known as embossing on the flower. The decorative lines are neat, angular and informal. A reporter immediately replied.

"It seems that our journalist friends still know a lot about jade."

Professor Huang seems to be very interested in chatting, but of course, he hopes to spread the jade culture through these journalists: "The characteristics of Ming society are that the country is always in the midst of frequent internal strife and internal and external troubles. However, inheriting the rapid development of commercial trade since the Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the commerce of the Ming Dynasty was very developed, and the people became wealthy.

The development and change of jade in the Ming Dynasty is also related to the changes in society, from the overall point of view, the jade of the Ming Dynasty gradually departed from the artistic tradition of jade in the five dynasties and the two Song dynasties, and formed an artistic style that pursues the beauty of fine carving and decoration. The royal jade of the Ming Dynasty was produced by the royal superintendent, and the folk view of jade, the style of appreciating jade prevailed, and there were jade shops in large cities with developed economy and culture.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the social atmosphere of collecting and appreciating ancient jade, the antique business community also produced a large number of antique fake jade. We can still see a large number of imitations of ancient jade from this period, and even the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was once deceived by the antique jade of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the development of jade did not appear out of thin air, it was closely related to the social form, and had distinctive characteristics of the times. ”

In fact, a careful study of the jade of the Ming Dynasty will also find that the jade of the Ming Dynasty is also changing, changing with the entire dynasty, which can be roughly divided into three periods: early, middle and late.

In the early Ming Dynasty, jade unearthed and handed down all have excellent works, the style inherited the Yuan Dynasty, and the workmanship was rigorous and exquisite. The jade materials used in this kind of jade have a strong luster, the grinding work is vigorous, the grinding work is fine, and the details are not heavy, which obviously preserves the legacy of the jade of the Yuan Dynasty. But strictly speaking, the jade of the early Ming Dynasty did not have its own style.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, jade tended to be simpler, inheriting the prosperity of literati culture in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and jade with literati colors appeared, such as green jade pine shade and scepter bucket cups. Moreover, because the times became rich, there were still many varieties and works of jade that represented landlords, wealthy merchants and others. During this period, jade began to show the characteristics of Ming Dynasty society, and the production and processing of jade can truly represent the characteristics of Ming Dynasty society.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the city economy was prosperous, the handicraft industry was developed, overseas trade was frequent, and the entire arts and crafts were dominated by commodity production and export, so there was a bad tendency to pursue quantity and ignore art. Subsequently, there was also a trend of commercialization of jade craft, jade tires are heavy, the shape is dull, the workmanship is sloppy, and the decoration is cumbersome, and there are a large number of jade pots and jade cups that have been handed down to this day. In terms of patterns, in line with the social atmosphere of the late Ming Dynasty, the homophonic theme of Fu Rui auspicious is very popular, this kind of "picture must be intentional, meaning must be auspicious" pattern, first of all, is to pray for blessings, and then to take into account the beauty. The jade carved by Lu Zigang, a famous craftsman in the late period, reflects the staggered development of jade, antique jade and jade used by literati in this period. The composition and influence of urban commoners and literati in the jade culture are increasing, which is the result of the prosperity of the urban commodity economy and the commercialization of jade production, as well as the new changes in China's jade culture.

"After saying so much, your mouth is dry, and you are impatient to listen to it, so let's hurry up and take out the things." Professor Huang laughed, opened the box, and took out a white jade teapot.

At this time, some jade bosses who were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV saw this teapot, and their eyes immediately lit up: "With those six top-grade jadeite, the price of jade has risen by three percent, so can you rely on this jade teapot to make the price of jade go to the next level?" ”

When Qin Xuebing took Qin Xiaoxiao to the Sifang Pavilion, he also happened to hear Qian Zhengtai muttering: "No, you have to hurry up and get a batch of ancient jade to support the field, and the demand and price of ancient jade will have to rise during this time." ”
