Chapter 1194 words shocked the four seats
Compared with the normal seal, the emperor jade seal naturally much larger, in the Ming Dynasty when there is a seal eunuch, is to use both hands to hold the jade seal standing behind the emperor of that, in the palace status is very high.
But this side of the jade seal, is to see the crowd a burst of blurred, for no other reason, is a glance, always feel as if in what place has seen like.
The whole jade seal body white, round and glossy, although by the gold and silver threads made of brocade package, but did not stain a trace of color, in the light of the irradiation, exudes a kind of lubrication of the treasure color.
Jade seal base is quadrilateral, length and width are in twenty or thirty centimeters like, button seal carved with a chi dragon beast, tiger phase dragon line is exquisite five coiled chi dragons, on behalf of the Chinese culture of the god of martial arts, strength, power, and the king’s demeanor.
“Strange, why is it so familiar? This kind of model, seems …… seems ……”
Professor Meng’s mouth uttered two seems in a row, and suddenly stopped talking, but this time, if anyone could see through the oxygen mask on Professor Meng’s face, they would definitely be able to find that at this time, Professor Meng was already unable to speak with his mouth wide open.
Not only Professor Meng, when the camera changed an angle, pulled close to the jade seal lens, is to stay in front of the command screen experts, also lost their collective voice.
The body white jade seal bottom, there are four or five centimeters, but the color of the golden luster, obviously, that is absolutely not naturally occurring color, but due to the repair of the latter day.
This piece of gold color and the whole jade seal although not quite match, but looks, but is so coordinated, visible repair this side of the jade seal craftsmen, craftsmanship is very clever.
“Transmission …… of the jade seal of the state?”
Is Ouyang Zhenwu this line of outsiders, also recognized the origin of this jade seal, no reason, is really the influence of the state seal in China is too big, and the allusion to gold and jade, as long as it is a little bit of understanding of history, all know its origin.
“That’s right, look at this style, it’s the He Shi Bi!”
“Oh my god! How …… how could it appear inside Genghis Khan’s mausoleum palace?”
“How is it impossible, gold destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the two emperors were captured, the Northern Song Dynasty palace jewelry was looted, at that time it was rumored that the seal of the state was obtained by the Jin people, the later generations of Mongolia to destroy the gold, the seal of the state in the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, what’s not possible ah?”
“This time is also not right ah! When Mongolia destroyed gold, Genghis Khan had already died several years ago.”
“Hey, I say Mr. Guo, on that parchment scroll that was unearthed a few days ago, didn’t it say that Genghis Khan was buried eight years after his death? In that case, aren’t things connected?”
“It’s not easy to say, since the Tang Dynasty, there are countless imitations of the state seal of transmission, only Tang Taizong Li Shimin imitated dozens of them, maybe this one isn’t real either!”
Ouyang Zhenwu’s words, so that the original in a state of shock of the crowd returned to normal, but the command immediately turned into a food market, the discussion has been four, there are saying that this is the state seal of the jade, there are also refute, a time who can not persuade anyone, simply all pulling their voices than the voice of who is louder.
These old experts, are very pure scholars, and the age of all about the same, whenever they gather together, there is no who leads who, who directs who the problem, there is no authority, everything is to speak with the facts, everything is to use the evidence to judge.
So within this rather harmonious academic atmosphere, quarrels are essential, sometimes for a small object’s break, the two old experts can quarrel with each other.
“Cough cough …… everyone be quiet, now have not seen the physical object, first listen to the following Professor Meng how they say it?”
Ouyang Zhenwu face this gang of old men, is also very helpless, outside he is a big minister, and may even go further to become a national leader, go wherever is the front and back call scenery unlimited.
But in front of these old people, Ouyang Zhenwu is at best a logistical service personnel, one by one and Ouyang Zhenwu’s age is almost big old guys, whenever there is a lack of what tools, the first time is to find Ouyang Zhenwu to solve.
However, Ouyang Zhenwu’s words had calmed down the crowd, they were just bickering into a flower up there, not as good as the people inside the mausoleum palace to see the real thing.
“Old Meng, take a quick look, is this the He Shi Bi carved state seal or not?” An old man grabbed the microphone and yelled.
“Old Meng can’t, your level of identifying objects is not as good as mine, that cabinet of fake jade you bought in Panjiayuan can be used as a negative example.”
This and Professor Meng is a colleague, know that he likes to collect jade, but decades down the line, the ability to identify jade is not much growth, bought a cabinet of antique fake jade.
So this archaeology and collection although there is some kind of connection, but definitely does not mean that archaeologists must be collectors and connoisseurs, otherwise every year so many archaeology graduates, do not have to go to the effort to find a job, go directly to the antique market Taobao pick up leaks can be rich and wealthy.
The opposite is also true, like Uncle Te grassroots connoisseur, although the object can be said to be true or false, but many times it is unable to cite the classics, to tell its origin.
Just as the old professor was questioning Prof. Meng’s appraisal level, an old expert offered his opinion: “Isn’t Xiao Zhuang here? He’s a famous jade expert in China, let Xiao Zhuang look at it, let him take a look.”
“Right, right, isn’t Xiao Zhuang a permanent director of the Jade Association? Give him the palm of your hand.”
“Well, Xiao Zhuang is still good, I trust him, helped me look at a piece of jade a while ago, the age quality said it was not even close.”
When put forward to let Zhuang Rui appraisal of this side of the “state seal” proposal, actually make the command of the many experts in the opinion of the unity, which can not help but let Ouyang Zhenwu some puzzled, opened his mouth and said: “Zhuang Rui is still relatively young, not… …I contacted from the Palace Museum specializing in the appreciation of jade seal jade experts to it?”
Ouyang Zhenwu knows that Zhuang Rui in the antique circle is quite established, and also in Panjiayuan opened a small store, engaged in a private museum, but to Ouyang Zhenwu’s idea, this appraisal of antiques must have a few decades of hand and eye work, Zhuang Rui is too young, right?
“Minister Ouyang, this you do not know, Xiao Zhuang’s reputation in the antique world is very big ah! Especially in the jade line, that Northland Jadeite King’s reputation, not for nothing.”
Seeing that Ouyang Zhenwu was a bit unconvinced of Zhuang Rui’s level, an old expert immediately stood out to give Zhuang Rui a proper name.
“That’s right, Minister Ouyang, I’ve also heard of Zhuang Rui’s reputation, he is indeed a very famous expert in antique appraisal in China, and it seems that he even has a website.” Although Director Guo lost the bet with Zhuang Rui, he also came out at this moment to say a few good words about Zhuang Rui.
“Prof. Wu, Director Guo, latecomer can’t dare to be so praised by you two, there are still a lot of places I need to learn.”
Command in the speaker came Zhuang Rui’s voice, listening to Ouyang Zhenwu couldn’t stop nodding, holding talent without arrogance of young people have not seen much.
However, Ouyang Zhenwu heart is also a secret pity, recognize Zhuang Rui is really late point, if a few years in the morning, arrange Zhuang Rui from the political words, sharpening the time of a decade or so plus the family’s promotion, I’m afraid that its achievements, absolutely not worse than Ouyang Lei.
“I say old Meng, what are you holding that jade seal for? Hurry up and give it to Xiao Zhuang.”
Prof. Wu didn’t care what Minister Ouyang beside him was thinking, seeing from the screen that the jade seal was still in Prof. Meng’s hand, he couldn’t help but yell, causing Prof. Meng, who was holding the jade seal and observing it inside the tomb, to reveal an embarrassed expression.
However, Prof. Meng also knows that, on the archaeological theory and field excavation skills, Zhuang Rui is eight streets away from him, but if we talk about the knowledge of antique identification and jade appreciation, he can be worse than Zhuang Rui from the front door of the building to the ruins of the Yuanmingyuan.
“Xiao Zhuang, give …… you look at it! This side of the jade seal, in the end is not the state seal?”
Prof. Meng, urged by the crowd, put the jade seal back on the ground, this object is too expensive, even Prof. Meng did not dare to directly overhand to Zhuang Rui, but used the rules of the antique circle.
“It’s better to go out and look at it! It’s not very convenient here.”
The authenticity of this party’s Heirloom Jade Seal, Zhuang Rui had long been clear in his mind, but even if this party’s jade seal could be borrowed within his Stereoscopic Museum later, I’m afraid that there would be a strict management system, and Zhuang Rui would like to take the opportunity to play with it properly.
Prof. Meng nodded and said, “Good, not being able to touch the physical object does have an impact on the identification, everyone rest for half an hour and go out together to take a look.”
After coming outside the chamber, Zhuang Rui took off his gloves and first washed his hands, before coming to the table where the jade seal was placed, and cupped it with both hands.
The white jade was flawless, looking at this jade seal made of He Shi Bi that had been sung about for ages, Zhuang Rui’s face also showed a mesmerized look.
“In my personal judgment, this jade seal, is indeed the He Shi Bik’s Heirloom Jade Seal that was milled from He Shi Bik without a doubt.”
As soon as Zhuang Rui spoke, he astonished the audience with his words. Without waiting for questions, he turned the jade seal toward the camera and continued, ‘Firstly, the size of this jade seal perfectly matches historical records of the Transmission of State Jade Seal. It bears marks from various dynasties that align with historical records, confirming its authenticity. Secondly, this jade seal is crafted from the finest Jing Shan white jade, consistent with the sources and styles used during the Chu dynasty. Such flawless jade is exceedingly rare in modern times, let alone during the Tang and Song dynasties. Thirdly, notice the gold inlay on the jade. You might have noticed its slightly dull appearance, but with a simple wipe, it reveals a brilliant golden luster. This indicates the gold used in the inlay is refined to high purity through multiple processes, demonstrating advanced craftsmanship in combining gold and jade seamlessly.
Said here, Zhuang Rui will be in the hands of the jade seal held high, said loudly: “In view of the above three points, I can personally conclude that this must be the people of ancient times sung by the Jade Seal of Passing State!”
