The first thousand one hundred and ninety-three chapters shocked the four seats
Chapter 1,193 The words shocked everyone
Compared with normal seals, the emperor's jade seal is naturally much larger. In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a eunuch holding the seal, who stood behind the emperor holding the jade seal with both hands. He had a very high status in the palace.
However, this square jade seal dazzled everyone for a while, for no other reason than that at a glance, they felt as if they had seen it somewhere before.
The entire jade seal is pure white, with a rounded luster. Although it is wrapped in a brocade made of gold and silver threads, it is not stained with a trace of green color. Under the illumination of the light, it reveals a smooth precious color.
The base of the jade seal is square in shape, with a length and width of 20 to 30 centimeters. The seal is engraved with a chi beast. The five chi beasts look like tigers and dragons, which represent the divine martial arts, strength, power and king in Chinese culture.
style.
"It's strange, why is it so familiar? This style seems... it seems..."
Professor Meng said two words in succession and suddenly stopped talking. However, if anyone could see through the oxygen mask on Professor Meng's face, they would definitely find that Professor Meng's mouth was already open and speechless.
coming.
Not only Professor Meng, but also the experts who stayed in front of the screen at the command headquarters collectively lost their voices when the camera changed its angle and zoomed in on Fang Yuxi.
The bottom of the completely white jade seal has a golden luster in a four to five centimeter area. Obviously, that color is definitely not a natural color, but is caused by acquired repairs.
Although the color of this piece of gold does not match the color of the entire jade seal, it looks so harmonious, which shows that the craftsman who repaired this jade seal is very skilled.
"Pass... pass on the national jade seal?"
Even an outsider like Ouyang Zhenwu recognized the origin of this square jade seal at a glance. The reason is simply that the influence of the national jade seal in China is too great, and the allusion of gold inlaid with jade will only make people with a little knowledge of history.
, all know its origin.
"That's right, look at this style, it's He's Bi..."
"Oh my God, how...how could it appear in Genghis Khan's mausoleum?"
"How is it impossible? The Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, both emperors were captured, and all the jewels in the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty were looted. At that time, it was rumored that the national jade seal was obtained by the Jin people. Later Mongolia destroyed the Jin Dynasty. This national jade seal is in the mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
What’s impossible?”
"This is not the right time. When Mongolia destroyed the Jin Dynasty, Genghis Khan had already been dead for several years..."
"Hey, let me tell you, Teacher Guo, didn't the parchment unearthed a few days ago say that Genghis Khan was buried eight years after his death? In this way, wouldn't things be connected?"
"It's hard to say. Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been countless imitations of imperial seals. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty alone made dozens of imitations. Maybe this one is not real..."
Ouyang Zhenwu's words brought everyone who was in a state of shock back to normal, but the headquarters suddenly turned into a vegetable market, and there were a lot of discussions. Some said it was the national jade seal, and some refuted it. Everyone was convinced for a while.
It doesn’t matter who the other person is, they just raise their voices to compete with who else is loudest.
These old experts are all very pure scholars, and they are all about the same age. Whenever they gather together, there is no question of who leads whom, who commands whom, and there is no authority. Everything is based on facts.
Speaking, everything is judged by evidence.
Therefore, in this quite harmonious academic atmosphere, quarrels are inevitable. Sometimes two old experts can quarrel until they are red-faced over the dating of a small object.
"Ahem... Everyone, please be quiet. We haven't seen the real thing yet. Let's first listen to what Professor Meng and the others have to say."
Ouyang Zhenwu was helpless in the face of these old men. Outside, he was a minister, and he might even become a national leader. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by people and enjoyed great glory.
But in front of these old people, Ouyang Zhenwu is just a logistics service worker at best. Every old guy who is about the same age as Ouyang Zhenwu. Whenever they lack any tools, they immediately go to Ouyang Zhenwu to solve it.
However, Ouyang Zhenwu's words calmed down everyone. Even if they were arguing like a flower above, they couldn't see it as clearly as the people in the mausoleum.
"Lao Meng, take a look, is this the national jade seal carved by He Shibi?" An old man grabbed the microphone and shouted.
"Lao Meng can't do it. Your ability to appraise objects is not as good as mine. The cabinet of fake jade you bought at Panjiayuan can be used as a negative teaching material..."
This person is a colleague of Professor Meng and knows that he likes to collect jade. However, over the past few decades, his ability to identify jade has not improved much, so he bought a cabinet of antique and fake jade.
Therefore, although there is a certain connection between archeology and collection, it definitely does not mean that archaeologists must be collectors and appraisers. Otherwise, so many students who graduate from the archeology department every year would not have to work hard to find a job and go directly to various places to collect antiques.
You can get rich by picking up missing items in the market.
Vice versa, although grassroots connoisseurs like Uncle De can tell the authenticity of objects, they often cannot cite scriptures and tell their origins.
Just when the old professor was questioning Professor Meng's appraisal level, an old expert put forward his own opinion: "Isn't Xiaozhuang here? He is a famous jade expert in China, let Xiaozhuang take a look, let him take a look...
…”
"Yes, yes, isn't Xiaozhuang the permanent director of the Jade Association? Give him a hand..."
"Well, Xiaozhuang is still good. I can trust him. Qian'er showed me a piece of jade. The age and quality are not bad at all..."
When Zhuang Rui suggested that Zhuang Rui identify this "national jade seal", the opinions of many experts in the headquarters were unified. This made Ouyang Zhenwu a little puzzled and said: "Zhuang Rui is still relatively young.
No... let me contact an expert from the Palace Museum who specializes in appreciating jade seals and jade articles?"
Ouyang Zhenwu knew that Zhuang Rui had made great achievements in the antique circle and had opened a small shop and a private museum in Panjiayuan. However, according to Ouyang Zhenwu's idea, the antique appraiser must have decades of experience.
With his hand and eye skills, Zhuang Rui is a bit too young, right?
"Minister Ouyang, you didn't know this. Xiaozhuang has a great reputation in the antique world, especially in the jade shop. His reputation as the Jade King of the North is not for nothing..."
Seeing that Ouyang Zhenwu didn't believe in Zhuang Rui's ability, an old expert immediately stepped forward to clear Zhuang Rui's name.
"That's right, Minister Ouyang, I have also heard of Zhuang Rui's reputation. He is indeed a very famous antique appraisal expert in China. He seems to have a website..." Although Director Guo lost the bet with Zhuang Rui, at this moment he also
He came out and said some kind words about Zhuang Rui.
"Professor Wu, Director Guo, I don't dare to praise you two so much. I still have a lot to learn..."
Zhuang Rui's voice came from the speakers in the headquarters, and Ouyang Zhenwu couldn't help but nod. Young people who are talented but not arrogant are rare.
However, Ouyang Zhenwu secretly regretted that it was too late to recognize Zhuang Rui. If Zhuang Rui had been arranged to enter politics a few years ago, and it took more than ten years of hard work and the promotion of his family, I am afraid that his achievements would never be achieved.
Worse than Ouyang Lei.
"I said Lao Meng, why are you holding that jade seal? Hurry up and give it to Xiaozhuang..."
Professor Wu didn't care what Minister Ouyang was thinking. He saw on the screen that the jade seal was still in Professor Meng's hand, and couldn't help but yelled. Professor Meng, who was holding the jade seal in the tomb and observing, showed an embarrassed expression.
However, Professor Meng also knew that in terms of archaeological theory and field excavation skills, Zhuang Rui was eight blocks behind him. But when it came to knowledge of antique identification, jade appreciation, and Zhuang Rui's knowledge, he could go from Qianmen Tower to the ruins of the Old Summer Palace.
"Xiaozhuang, here... come and take a look. Is this Fang Yuxi the national jade seal?"
Under the urging of everyone, Professor Meng placed the jade seal on the ground again. This object was too precious, and even Professor Meng did not dare to hand it over to Zhuang Rui directly. Instead, he followed the rules in the antique circle.
"It's better to go out and take a look, it's not very convenient here..."
Zhuang Rui already knew the authenticity of this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal, but even if this Fang Jade Seal could be loaned to his Dingguang Museum in the future, there would probably be a strict management system. Zhuang Rui wanted to take this opportunity to play with it.
Professor Meng nodded and said: "Okay, since you can't touch the real object, it does have an impact on the identification. Let's all take a break for half an hour and go out and take a look..."
After arriving at the tomb outside, Zhuang Rui took off his gloves and washed his hands first. Then he came to the table where the jade seal was placed and held it up with both hands.
The white jade is flawless. Looking at this jade seal made of He's jade, which has been popular for thousands of years, Zhuang Rui also showed an intoxicated look on his face.
"Based on my personal judgment, this square jade seal is undoubtedly the national jade seal polished by He Shibi..."
Zhuang Rui shocked everyone as soon as he opened his mouth. Before anyone could ask, Zhuang Rui pointed the jade seal towards the camera and continued: "First of all, judging from the specifications and dimensions of this square jade seal, it is completely consistent with the jade seal passed down from the country recorded in historical records, and
There are also imprints left by various dynasties on it, and there is no discrepancy with historical records. This is one of them.
Secondly, this square jade seal is made of the most jingshan white jade, which is consistent with the origin of the He family jade obtained by Bian He of Chu. This kind of jade no longer exists in modern times. Even in the Tang and Song Dynasties, it is probably difficult to find such a flawless piece.
Use jade to imitate it.
The third point is this gold inlaid with jade. I don’t know if you have noticed just now that the color of this gold is a little dull, but after a little wiping, a gorgeous golden luster immediately appeared.
This shows that the gold used for inlay is high-purity gold refined through multiple processes, and the gold and jade seal are integrated as if they were made in nature, and the inlay technique is very superb."
At this point, Zhuang Rui held up the jade seal in his hand and said loudly: "In view of the above three points, I can personally conclude that this... must be the national jade seal that has been sung by people for thousands of years!"
