"Good! Good! Good! ”

Liu Lao held a five-dragon button in both hands, the texture was very transparent, the color was green as blue, warm and luster, and it looked like a jade seal that exuded a hundred taels of brilliance, and said well.

Not only that, but from the red light on his face, his whole body trembling slightly, and the appearance of green tendons on the back of his hands, you can know how excited his heart is at the moment.

"The jade seal of the country, is this really the jade seal of the country?" Liu Sizhe, who happened to come to his grandfather's house today, didn't expect to encounter such a treasure, which made him feel like he was in a dream.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Liu Qinshu glanced at him and said: "Look at this jade seal, the color is as green as blue, four inches in radius, and the five dragons are handed over to New York, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang', this is not true?" ”

Wu Ke also nodded and said: "Look, the corner of this jade seal is also inlaid with gold, which is also in line with the historical record of the jade seal of the country, and the color of this gold looks very old, I think this is also in line with the characteristics of the age." ”

The reason why there is a shortage of heirloom jade seals is because in the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was ready to usurp the throne and asked the queen mother for the heirloom jade seal. When the Queen Mother learned about it, she was furious and threw the jade seal to the ground, but the jade seal was shattered.

Wang Mang was both happy and sorry when he got the broken jade seal of the country, and ordered the craftsmen in the palace to be found, and ordered him to use gold to make up for the missing horn within two days. As a result, the jade seal of the country has the characteristic of gold inlay.

Zhao Yunlin took over and said: "In addition, Cao Pi forced the Han Dynasty to offer the emperor Chan Rang, called the emperor to establish the Wei State, and engraved eight subordinate characters on the shoulder of the seal of the country, 'The seal of the Great Wei is subject to the Han Dynasty'. Later Zhao Shi strangled the former Zhao and got the seal. On the right side, the words 'Heavenly Mandate Stone' are engraved, aren't these words clearly displayed on this jade seal? ”

Liu Sizhe didn't expect his own words. The three women in the room condemned for a while, and hurriedly said with a smile on their faces: "I didn't say that it was imitated, but the records of the jade seal of the country are too detailed, and the characteristics you said are recorded in the history books, so I think it should be done carefully, otherwise it will also affect Brother Chen's reputation in the end?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and spread his hands: "I don't plan to collect this heirloom jade seal by myself, even if I want to exhibit it." It has nothing to do with me, so how can it affect my reputation? ”

"Huh? Brother Chen, are you going to donate it? Liu Sizhe's expression was a little surprised.

Chu Chen said: "Of course, if it's something else, it doesn't matter if I collect it myself, but the meaning of the jade seal is different, and it's really inappropriate for me to collect it." ”

In fact, although this heirloom jade seal belongs to the important weapon of the country, in the final analysis, it is just a seal with special significance, and it alone will definitely not change the trend of history.

To put it another way. Whether there is a seal or not, it will not affect the control of power, and even the momentum of authoritarianism may not fluctuate. Because of this, after the Northern Song Dynasty. There are more and more various seals of the emperor, and their intention is to dilute the sacredness of the jade seal.

Of course. Judging from Zhang Huoni's statement, it is very likely that this is because the jade seal of the Song Dynasty has been imitated. Don't do it. But even so, in the hundreds of years that the jade seal has disappeared. There is no dynasty that says that it cannot control power without the jade seal of the country, and now our country is even more prosperous.

However, although the current heirloom jade seal can only be regarded as a priceless national treasure in essence, it has evolved over thousands of years so that it has become a spiritual symbol, and it is considered by many people to be a national artifact.

Such a treasure with special significance, of course, Chu Chen will not keep it in his hands, otherwise it will definitely cause him trouble in the future, especially his identity, which is not very convenient to collect.

For Chu Chen's decision, Liu Lao and Chu Yongning were relieved to agree, although the others felt a little pity, but the heirloom jade seal was no longer ordinary in terms of meaning, so in order to avoid trouble in the future, they could also understand Chu Chen's decision.

"Achen, when are you going to donate?" Wu Ke asked.

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "In a few days, many people haven't seen it now, if I donate it right away, I have to be drowned in saliva." ”

That day, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan returned to the hotel, because it was already night, and they didn't have time to take the flight back that day. But the next day, only three flights from Xiazhou to Beijing were direct, and the others had to be transferred, so he booked a direct flight at 5 p.m., which was the earliest plane that could reach Beijing.

Considering that the jade seal of the country is too precious, after Chu Chen returned home, he and his parents and Wu Ke brought the jade seal to Liu's hometown to appreciate it, which is why there is this scene.

"We'll talk about that later."

Liu Lao said with a smile: "Antique appraisal is a very strict thing, especially a national treasure such as the heirloom jade seal, and the appraisal should be more cautious." Just like Ah Zhe said, these details are very clearly recorded in literary history, not only we know, but also the ancients. Therefore, it is true that the authenticity of the jade seal cannot be determined based on these alone. ”

"So where should we start?" Liu Qinshu asked.

"First of all, of course, it's the material." Liu Lao said.

Liu Sizhe said: "It is recorded in the history of literature that the jade seal of the country is as green as blue, warm and lush, many people say that it is Lantian jade, and now when I see the real thing, I think it is also quite like Lantian jade." ”

Chu Chen denied: "This is obviously impossible, we all know that the jade seal of the country is made of He's bi, and He's bi is unraveled from a piece of jade that Bian He got in Jingshan." You must know that Jingshan is located in Jingchu, and Lantian jade is near Xijing, and the difference between the two places is more than 400 kilometers, so it is obviously impossible for the jade seal of the country to be made of Lantian jade. ”

Wu Ke took over and said: "In addition, even if this jade seal looks like Lantian jade, it is impossible for Lantian jade to have such brilliance, otherwise, Lantian jade would have been famous a long time ago." ”

Liu Sizhe looked at the jade seal that seemed to exude a brilliant brilliance, and said with a smile: "This is also here, but what kind of jade is this?" ”

Liu Lao pondered for a while, and replied: "For the material of the jade seal, there are generally three views in the academic circles, namely color-changing labradorite, turquoise, and Dushan jade. ”

Labradorite is more common and is used as a decorative material, but some of the haloed labradorite can be used as gemstones, and the rarer ones are the palette labradorite.

Color-changing labradorite emits a special iridescent sparkle. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the interface of discrete plates, bicrystals or strip-like inclusions with different sodium content inside labradorite crystals will cause flickering flashes of different hues or brightness due to the interference of diffracted or reflected light.

Different parts of the same labradorite, when the thickness of these directional concatenates is different, can produce different interference color regions, which can present a single spectral color such as green and blue, as well as yellow, golden yellow, red, purple and red hues.

These colors, depending on the direction of the light or the angle of view, produce a change in hue or shade in the order of spectral colors. Labradorite with this type of color-changing is called color-changing labradorite.

And this jade seal can exude a brilliant brilliance that makes people feel a little incredible, which is indeed like a color-changing labradorite. However, this jade seal looks like a superb jade as warm and lustrous, which is not quite the same as the characteristics of labradorite, perhaps it is really like Liu Lao said, this is a mutated color-changing labradorite.

After a moment of silence, Liu Sizhe said: "In terms of material, I think as long as it can be the right number with the records in literature and history, after all, the heirloom jade seal has disappeared for so many years, who can accurately know what material the real heirloom jade seal is made of?" ”

"Besides, the material of this jade seal is so special, it is likely to be unique in the world, and it is the same as the records in literature and history, I think even if you are a harsh person, you can't say that there is a problem with the material, right?"

Everyone nodded, all agreeing with the remark.

Wu Ke opened his mouth and asked: "Then in addition to the material, is there any other way to identify the authenticity?" And since everyone knows the characteristics of the jade seal, the carving should also be able to be fake, right? ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, there is an easiest way to identify this heirloom jade seal. ”

"How?" Except for Liu Lao, everyone else looked at Chu Chen curiously, wanting to hear his answer.

Chu Chen sold it first, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what the jade seal of the country is mainly used for?" ”

Liu Sizhe said with some hesitation: "It should be used to prove whether the dynasty is orthodox or not, right?" ”

Liu Qinshu laughed when he heard this: "Ah Zhe, you are still a college student, of course the jade seal is used for it!" ”

Liu Sizhe was stunned, and when he saw the smiles on everyone's faces, his face, which was already as thick as the city wall, turned red, and he hurriedly coughed a few times to make himself less embarrassed.

Chu Chen relieved him with a smile and said, "Everyone knows that after the seal is used, as long as it is stained with ink, there will definitely be some traces left on the seal surface. Especially after years of accumulation, the traces become more and more obvious, and even penetrate into the seal, and it is impossible to clean it at all. Especially the heirloom jade seal, starting from Qin Shi Huang to the Later Tang Dynasty, after so many years of use, it is impossible to clean the ink on it. ”

When Chu Chen said this, Liu Lao showed the seal of the jade seal to everyone to see, and sure enough, there were traces of long-term use on the seal.

Chu Chen continued: "Of course, this alone can't be sure of the authenticity of the jade seal, but we can scrape some of the ink down and do a scientific appraisal It should be no problem." (To be continued......)
