Pei Pei was helplessly coerced by the two old experts around her to the front of the display case where the "Jade Seal of the Country was placed", and before she could make a move, the impatient Professor Luo had already lifted the red silk cloth covering this display case-

Then, I saw Professor Luo looking at him with a fierce and hungry look, staring closely at the "heirloom jade seal" in the display case in front of him through a layer of anti-theft glass, and kept urging Pepe to say: "Hurry up and open the cabinet!" Hurry up! Hurry up."

The "heirloom jade seal" in the anti-theft glass is quietly lying in the protruding position in the center of the display cabinet at this time, and it looks extremely dazzling and heavy against the backdrop of a black velvet.

Just looking through the glass makes all viewers feel an indescribable sense of history.

Just when all the experts were firmly attracted by the "heirloom jade seal" in the display case, they only heard a "click" -

It turned out that the showcase had been opened by Pepe!

At this time—

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at the pair of jade hands that Pepe stretched out to the display case!

I saw that the pair of clear white and soft, smooth and jade hands slowly held up this seal, and the faint and soft brilliance of the jade seal and Pei Pei's Qianqian jade hand were incomparably bright.

I don't know if it's an illusion, the professors closest to each other all inexplicably have a strange feeling - this jade seal seems to exude a cold and awe-inspiring atmosphere, as if it is like a proud emperor. It was as if he was looking at them coldly.

Just when these experts were thinking about it, this seal had been lifted out of the display case by Pepe's hands—

"Finally, this finale treasure has been taken out, who wants to be the first to be identified?" Pepe's hands held this "heirloom jade seal" steadily, and his eyes glanced at the experts around him from left to right, and then asked with a smile.

Professor Luo was the first to come back to his senses from that strange feeling, and he couldn't help but shiver before holding his breath and stretching out his hands in the direction of the jade seal: "Let me come first!" ”

Pepe nodded silently, then put the jade seal in Professor Luo's palm.

Immediately after, the group of old experts who only had jade seals in their eyes immediately pushed me and squeezed around Professor Luo, and in the blink of an eye. Pepe, the owner of the baby, was pushed to the back of the human wall. With a wry smile, I listened to this group of experts discussing various historical records about the "Jade Seal of the Country"-

According to historical records, after Qin Shi Huang unified the country, he ordered people to engrave the "Heshi Bi" into an imperial seal of the country, and since then. The imperial seal became a symbol of the emperor's mandate. The world calls it "the jade seal of the country"!

The shape of the "heirloom jade seal" recorded in the historical materials is "its radius of four inches." The front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", and the seal characters are decorated with dragons, phoenixes, birds and fish. It is the method of the insect of Li Si's small seal to get out of the bird tracks. Its back (the upper end of the seal) has the button of the five dragon phase plates, and there are small holes between the buttons to wear silk ribbons. ”

Only by the naked eye, first of all, the font of the eight seal characters of "Ordered by the Heaven, Longevity and Yongchang" is like flowers, birds, fish and insects, which is very in line with the stylistic style of Li Si's small seal recorded in the history books.

In addition, the upper end of this seal is indeed engraved with a button in the shape of a five-dragon phase plate. Moreover, the button is smooth and jade, and the pulp is heavy, as if it has been carefully cared for for thousands of years.

Also, the missing corner under the seal is covered with dark bronze gold. This is also completely in line with the historical records of "Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and the Queen Mother angrily threw the national seal, causing a corner of the seal to be damaged, and Wang Mang ordered the craftsman to make up for it with gold".

Therefore, the "heirloom seal" in the hands of Professor Luo, in terms of appearance, is completely in line with the various descriptions recorded in the history books!

There is no controversy among experts about the appearance of this "heirloom jade seal", but they are not interested in the color of the "heirloom jade seal", that is, "what is the raw material of He's bi?" "There were all kinds of controversies -

It is recorded that the color of the "Qin Xi" (i.e., the "Seal of the Kingdom") is white paste, and it is also warm!

Therefore, some experts believe that the legendary "He's Bi" is mutton fat white jade.

Other experts rejected this assumption.

Because the color of the "Seal of the Kingdom" recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty is "green as blue, warm and shiny", so this part of the experts believe that "He's Bi" should be Shaanxi Lantian white jade!

Because most of the ancient jade buried by the princes and nobles in the Qin and Han dynasties was mutton fat white jade or Lantian jade, the above two statements have their own markets.

And the experts and scholars of these two factions also do not give in to each other and hold their own opinions.

Just when the experts of the "Mutton Fat White Jade School" and the experts of the "Lantian White Jade School" quoted scriptures and classics from each other, expressed their opinions, and used various historical materials to prove that their judgments were correct-

At this time, a third factional theory suddenly popped up - "He's Bi" may be a luminous pearl.

Because in the history books, "He's Bi" is called "Luminous Bi".

According to historical records, if you put "Heshibi" in a dark place, it can shine, even if it is covered with black cloth, it can be transparent and bright. Qin Shi Huang believed in ghosts and gods, and after getting the "He's Bi", because he felt that the "He's Bi" could remove dust and avoid evil spirits, he decided to carve this priceless jade into the emperor's jade seal after unifying the country!

In addition, the historical records of the end of the Han Dynasty also confirm the possibility that "He's Bi" is a luminous pearl - at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ten permanent servants were in turmoil, and the young emperor fled in a hurry, and it was too late to take away the jade seal, and after returning to the palace, he found that the jade seal was missing. When the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged Dong Zhuo, when Sun Jian's subordinates searched the palace, they found that a palace well in the Nanzhen Palace faintly exuded brilliance, and they thought that there were treasures and sent people to go down to the well to salvage. Unexpectedly, the body of a palace maid was salvaged from the palace well, and then the long-lost "heirloom jade seal" was found from the palace maid's neck.

Although this historical record has a certain legend, from a modern point of view, the luminous pearl can indeed shine in the dark deep well, so the argument that "He's Bi" is a luminous pearl also has a certain historical evidence.

In response to this argument, the supporters of the "Mutton Fat White Jade School" and the "Lantian White Jade School" have no theoretical basis to refute it.

So, for a while, what color is the "heirloom jade seal"? What kind of material is used? Each of the three factions has its own historical basis, and each has its own supporters. (To be continued......)
