Putting down this Tao Te Ching, Chen Yixiang kept turning around, most of them are engraved copies of the Qingming and Qing dynasties, and there are not too many manuscripts, and at the same time, there are some valuable ancient books of the Republic of China.

Rare books generally refer to ancient books that have undergone strict proofreading and have no typos or missing words, and the lower limit of the era is mostly determined to be before the 60th year of Qianlong, and after the 60th year of Qianlong, it depends on the value of the text.

Before he was in the antique city of some cities, he also saw a lot of rare books, but the ancient books of the Ming Dynasty such as the Tang, Song, Yuanming and Ming Dynasty are rare and difficult to see.

Not all ancient books can be called rare books, before the advent of printing, most books were handwritten, the original manuscript or other books were carefully written, and after checking with the original text, they became rare books.

After the Tang Dynasty, the emergence of engraving printing, the concept of editions began to appear in books, and the documents included in different editions of books, as well as the proofreading of fine and inferior processes, were different, so there were full copies, fragments, fine copies and inferior copies.

The lower limit of the era of rare books is the 60th year of Qianlong, and the ancient books are generally mostly the last years of the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the Opium War.

It's just that the lower limit of the era of both ancient books and rare books is coarse, even if it is the Republic of China after the Xinhai Revolution, if the content of the work or the printing form follows the previous ancient books and does not start anew, it can generally be classified as the scope of ancient books.

Of course, in the case of rare books, it depends on whether there are celebrities who have criticized the school, or ancient books with great academic research value.

There are also some rules that can be followed for the judgment of rare books, that is, the three natures that are now commonly used, nine articles. The three characteristics are that books should have a high degree of historical relics, academic materials and artistic representativeness, as for the nine articles, most of them are some judgments on whether books of various generations can be classified as rare books, and they generally require less or very little circulation.

Most of the books in the Taoist temple are various Taoist classics, except for the eight basic classics. There are many important classics of Taoism, such as the Heart Sutra, the Dan Sutra, the Anthology, and the Chuan Collection, which can be said to be very varied.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile. Not to mention the collection of books in other compartments, the ancient books in this compartment alone are enough for him to read for a few years, and he may not be able to grasp the meaning.

It was still early days, and he decided to take a look around the cubicles before taking some books back to read.

After looking at the bookshelves in this compartment, most of them are printed copies, and there are some manuscripts among them. But the basic value is also below 100,000.

Chen Yi walked out of this compartment, and at the entrance of the fifth compartment, he showed the token to the two Taoist priests who were guarding here.

The information of these Taoist priests, he has also identified, basically every Taoist monk's Tai Chi health skills have reached the primary level of specialization, and the age, most of them are in their thirties and forties, I am afraid that these Taoist priests are not only practicing Mianquan in Longmen Taijiquan. There are also short punches that focus more on attacking power.

With the guards of these Taoist priests, it is also possible to ensure the safety of these ancient books to the greatest extent, and Chen Yi himself estimates that he will not be able to hold on for a second against any Taoist priest here, and he will lie down directly.

It's not just a gap in physical qualities, it's also a gap in attack ability. If he did, he would probably just swing his fist and kick his feet.

Entering the fifth compartment, Chen Yi took a casual look. He couldn't help but smile on his face, most of them were manuscripts of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and at random glance, he saw Chen Bangyan's book "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Jing".

Speaking of Chen Bangyan, is also a celebrity, since he was a child is an orphan, raised by his uncle, but he is a high school jinshi, and finally the official to the Ministry of Rites, good calligraphy, walking grass in and out of the two kings won Dong Qichang's penmanship, made in his later years, compared with Dong Qilin's calligraphy works, can be fake and true, calligraphy is famous, and many people want to get his calligraphy as a family heirloom.

Chen Yi smiled, looked at this calligraphy, and immediately used a copying technique, this Chen Bangyan is also a master of calligraphy, and it is also very beneficial to be able to understand some of the brushstrokes in his calligraphy.

His current calligraphy is still in the learning stage, learning calligraphy in ancient times, almost all the famous masters of the past dynasties have been copied over and over again, in order to be able to achieve something, he naturally will not copy a family's work.

In an instant, looking at the manuscript in front of him, he couldn't help but have some feelings in his heart, and his fingers were involuntarily scratching in the void.

After a while, he slowly stopped, smiled and nodded, this Chen Bangyan's brushwork is indeed very strong, no wonder others would want to get his calligraphy works as family heirlooms.

The reason why the manuscript is more valuable than the ordinary engraved book, is only because it is a carrier of calligraphy, is to contain the author's feelings, each person writes calligraphy, are not the same, can be said to be a unique thing, the traditional writing font is seal, official script, line script, cursive, regular script, and the printed engraved book, with a unified printing font, are Song Dynasty and imitation Song style.

Traditional handwriting fonts such as Xingshu and cursive script can be called book style, while Song style is generally not classified as book style.

Slowly returning this Chen Bangyan manuscript to its original place, Chen Yi smiled, he and this Chen Bangyan can be said to be the same surname, but I don't know if I can reach his calligraphy realm.

At the same time, he seemed to feel that perhaps in addition to listening to He Wenzhi explain the story of his wife, he would have to spend most of his time in this Xuanmiao Pavilion, because no matter which museum or cultural relics library, it was impossible for him to look through rare books at will in the place where he collected books without any scruples.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel that the previous pot of Tieguanyin was really valuable, if he could really gain great insight from these many calligraphy, let him make tea for the enlightenment of the truth every day, there would be no hesitation.

Seeing a Tao Te Ching that was the same as the previous Qing Shunzhi Neifu engraving, Chen Yi took it out lightly with some doubts, and looked at the first page, he couldn't help but smile, no wonder this set of Tao Te Ching would be placed in the fifth compartment.

On the first page, there are a few large characters imitating the Song style, the preface of the Imperial Tao Te Ching, and the people who have heard the Tao are born and all things are ...... Looking at this page of handwriting, and identified, he couldn't help but sigh and smile, compared to the previous Inner House carved book, only one more page of words, and at the same time on each page of the book header are more than five big characters of the Imperial Note Tao Te Ching, but with these words, this set of two Inner House engraved books, it is called the Imperial Note Dao Xingjing, its value is more than ten times higher than the previous tens of thousands of Tao Te Ching, the value is between three or four hundred thousand.

This is the dignity of the royal family, but as long as some things are stained with the imperial character, the value is much higher than ordinary things.

After a little browsing of the rare books on the shelves of this compartment, the engraved copies also accounted for a large number, but the manuscripts were much more than the previous compartment, and there was a bookshelf on it, on which were not the books of the cost, but the booklets with the stickers on them.

This made him even more pleased, those manuscripts may not be able to be used by the calligrapher, but these rice paper stickers are completely owned by the original author's penmanship, but this kind of booklet composed of calligraphy stickers is very rare.

Some collectors may be able to walk around and collect some collections, but as a Taoist temple that cannot be moved, and all the Taoist priests are monks, requiring them to live in the temple, it is naturally impossible to become a Taoist priest in the temple.

Chen Yi watched for a while, and decided to use treasure searching to find some high-value things, check them one by one, and then take a look at any of them.

He opened the identification system and looked at the inventory, and now there were ten intermediate treasure search talismans left, but he didn't have to worry about not finding the hidden treasure.

It's just that the intermediate treasure search talisman has more than the beginner treasure search technique, not only the five hundred years of searching, but also the ability to find the hidden treasures in it.

If you use the beginner treasure search technique, you may only find the most valuable thing in the entire library room in the past 500 years, but with the intermediate treasure search talisman, you can find the hidden item in a certain item, not the highest value of all items.

Under the current circumstances, it is natural to use treasure searching to see what is the highest value of the zài stored within 50 meters of the vicinity, 500 years ago.

After using a treasure search technique in the identification system, Chen Yi watched a golden light burst out of his body, and then turned into a golden treasure search mouse, and came to the ground, the treasure search mouse sniffed around, but it was a happy cry twice, as if he was very happy to stay in this environment full of antiquities.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, sure enough, it was a treasure search mouse, the same as the situation of the old Taoist who was really enlightened, one was a tea lover, and the other was a treasure lover.

Soon, the treasure hunting mouse seemed to have found its target, then beckoned to Chen Yi and ran towards the back.

Chen Yi watched this treasure search rat keep running towards it, without any intention of turning, he couldn't help but be a little worried, within fifty meters of this neighborhood, five hundred years ago, the most valuable thing should not be placed in the two enclosed stone chambers in the back.

Soon, the treasure search rat came out of the fifth compartment and walked out towards the sixth compartment, Chen Yi took the sign, showed it to the Taoist priest who was guarding, and then pretended to be a tourist, and slowly followed behind the treasure search mouse.
