Chapter 408: He's Bi Appearing?

"Yu Fei." It was Dong Dechang who called to deliver the news.

"Uncle Dong, let's talk about it first, I haven't picked up leaks recently, and I don't have a place to pick up leaks." Yu Fei said with a smile. Since Yu Fei picked up and bought antiques including Kyushu Ding, "Luo Shen Futu" authentic works, etc., Dong Dechang always thought that Yu Fei would pick up something missing, and often called to ask. made Yu Fei cry and laugh.

"I'm not calling you today to pick up a leak." Dong Dechang's voice was a little serious.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Yu Fei no longer had a hippie smile.

"I just got the news that He's Bi appeared in Japan." Dong Dechang said.

"What?!" Just one sentence shook Yu Feizhen, and He's Bi appeared in Japan? How is this possible?

"Uncle Dong, you're not joking with me, are you?" Yu Fei said. Since obtaining the Kyushu Ding, Yu Fei has also thought about the jade seal of the country (and the bi), and consulted a lot of information, hoping to get something, he believes that with his chaotic qi, only if he has the fate to see the jade seal of the country, even if there are many fakes, he can also distinguish the authenticity at a glance.

But unfortunately, this kind of thing depends on luck after all, even if his appraisal level is excellent, if he has no luck, he can only sigh in vain if he can't meet it.

Therefore, after a period of time, Yu Fei gave up looking for it. Now Dong Dechang actually told him that He Shibi appeared in Japan, which did not give him a sense of joy that "it took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to find it", on the contrary, it made him feel humiliated and angry! A treasure like He's Bi ended up in Japan.

He's Bi is a famous jade in Chinese history, and it has been circulating for hundreds of years. It is regarded as a "priceless treasure" and is also known as the "treasure of the world", also known as the Bi of the He's, Jing Yu, Jing Hong, Jing Bi, Hebi, and Hepu. Most people have heard of the story of He Shibi, which was first seen in books such as "Han Feizi" and "New Preface". It is said that it was in the Spring and Autumn period. There was a jade expert named Bian He in the state of Chu who got a piece of jade in Jing Mountain. Bian He took the jade to see King Chu Li, and King Li ordered the jade worker to check it, and the jade worker said that it was just a stone. King Li was furious and cut off Bian He's left foot for the crime of bullying the king. King Li died, King Wu ascended the throne, and Bian He went to see King Wu with Puyu again. King Wu ordered Yugong to check again, but Yugong still said that it was just a stone, and Bian He lost his right foot because of this. King Wu died. King Wen ascended the throne, Bian He hugged Puyu and cried bitterly for three days and three nights under Chu Mountain, the tears dried up, and then blood flowed out. When King Wen learned about it, he sent someone to ask why. Bian He said: I'm not crying, my feet were cut off. Instead, weeping Baoyu was treated as a stone, and the loyal were treated as a bully, and they were punished and humiliated without sin. So, King Wen ordered someone to cut open this piece of jade, and saw that it was really a rare jade, and named it He's Bi.

Since the He's Bi has been lost, what the real He's Bi looks like is no longer known today. It can only be imagined through descriptions in a limited number of written records, including literary creations.

However, there are historical records. Qin Shi Huang after the loss of Jiuding. He made the Heshi bi into a jade seal to represent its orthodox status. In other words, He's Bi has become a jade seal.

Judging from the story of Qin Shi Huang using He's bi to make the imperial seal, compared with the unearthed conventional cultural relics, at least in terms of appearance, there should be obvious differences (because there is an eye in the middle of the jade bi, but there is no eye in the middle of the jade seal). According to preliminary estimates, the thickness of Heshibi is at least 10 centimeters (cm, cm), and it is not a ring-shaped jade worn by ancient Confucian scholars, and it is even likely that Heshibi is just a simple and rough-processed jade. At the same time, because it is said that He's Bi was made into a national imperial seal by Qin Shi Huang, and with the change of dynasties, the imperial seal is said to have been lost after the Tang Dynasty, and the original style of He's Bi is basically impossible to know.

But for what, Uncle Dong is talking about He's Bi, not the jade seal of the country? Could it be that Uncle Dong is old and wrong? With Uncle Dong's attainments in antique collection, how could he be wrong?

"Uncle Dong, are you sure it's He's Bi?" Yu Fei asked uncertainly.

"You kid? Do you still think that your Uncle Dong is wrong? Dong Dechang scolded: "It is indeed the Heshi Bi, not the jade seal of the country." ”

Through Dong Dechang's narration, Yu Fei learned. This time, it appeared in the brochure of the Japanese auction house.

At an upcoming auction of Chinese art at the auction house, the words and pictures of He Shibi appeared on the front page! It immediately attracted a lot of curiosity and questioning.

However, the auction house only said that He's Bi was consigned by a collector and did not violate the rules, but the auction party refused to disclose the name and origin of the collector. Despite China's serious protests, the Japanese auction house is still the same, and the auction will be held in 10 days according to the original schedule.

In fact, the teacher said that the main reason why He's Bi is a treasure in the world is not its material, but its historical value.

He's Bi comes from Jingshan, from its origin it can be inferred that it is just a piece of green jade, and it is a mountain material, in addition to the large size, I'm afraid it's not much better (of course, this is just a traffic light speculation according to the general situation, there is no absolute in the world, and it is possible that He's Bi is indeed a rare treasure, and even the jade quality is not inferior to mutton fat white jade), but its historical value is high, especially it is associated with the heirloom jade seal! It represents the inheritance of China's 2,000-year-old culture!

Since the appearance of Heshibi in Japan, it has caused a very big sensation, and many Japanese scholars have taken the opportunity to question China's history and status, and even many domestic scholars have been shaken.

It can be said that the influence of He's Bi is not insignificant.

The public auction of He's Bi is also bound to attract the interest of Chinese antique collectors, especially after the exhibition of "Luo Shen Futu" and "Orchid Pavilion Preface", which has become the wish of many collectors to welcome the return of national treasures. It can be predicted that this auction of Heath Auction House will definitely be very popular.

"It's so damnable!" Yu Fei slammed the table hard. Seeing this, Xu Jiaojiao walked over and patted him comfortingly, Yu Fei realized that he was a little out of shape, and smiled at Xu Jiaojiao.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Dong Dechang also sighed and said. As the collecting trend becomes more and more popular, there are more and more auctions of Chinese artworks abroad, and many of the auctions are rare treasures in China. The real Chinese national treasure is embarrassed by the status quo abroad!

"When will it be great for us to hold an art auction from other countries in our own country." Yu Fei said angrily.

Dong Dechang smiled and said, "You think beautifully." Auctions are not so easy to organize, and if you don't have a particularly good art, it's hard to make a splash and you can't attract people, so you're afraid that the auction will only be a show. There's no way around it. ”

Due to historical reasons, there has been a massive exodus of cherished art from China, but the way to obtain foreign art at home is very limited, and it can only be collected by collectors themselves. As for the auction of foreign artworks, some people did think about it and even carried it out, but because the value of the lots was limited, it did not produce much effect.

Is there really no way to do it? Yu Fei didn't think so, he remembered that there were several sketches of famous European painters in his collection room, one of which was even Picasso's, and if he took it out for auction, it would definitely arouse the interest of many foreign collectors.

But just a few famous paintings are still too few, and we must find a way to collect more high-quality artworks from abroad! Yu Fei couldn't help but look at the map on the wall again, and followed his gaze, but when he saw that the area on the area was Japan!

Because of the auction of He's Bi, Yu Fei must go to Japan. At the same time, thinking of the harvest of the golden treasure of Chicheng Mountain and the two-frame porcelain of the Japanese porcelain ancestor last time, Yu Fei is looking forward to a great harvest this time.

As soon as he thought of Japan, Yu Fei immediately thought of the Japanese girl with great personality - Saori Mitsui.

Speaking of which, I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, especially after Yu Fei left Japan, and never took the initiative to contact her. On the contrary, after Saori Mitsui learned that someone was going to assassinate Yu Fei in Ruili, Yunnan, she called to warn her as soon as possible, which allowed her to escape from the catastrophe in danger.

However, it is not appropriate to call Saori Mitsui in front of Xu Jiaojiao, although he asked himself that there is nothing with Saori Mitsui, but there is still a little ambiguity. What's more, he also gave a ring in front of so many people, saying that it is an ordinary friend who is indeed too close again!

Okay, Saori Mitsui, are you okay? (To be continued......)
