Happy Tycoon

After appraising with the holy ring, Yang Jing confirmed that this imperial decree was the imperial decree of Zhu Chongba and Zhu Yuanzhang.

This unexpected joy made Yang Jing very happy. Yang Jing once received Wu Zetian's book making in Wu Zetian's mausoleum before. This kind of book making is actually the imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty.

Book making was originally called edict in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. Later, when Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor, in order to avoid her name Wu Zhao (zhào), she changed the edict into a book. Of course, the functionality remains the same. Because the book-making deals with important government affairs, its classification will be more detailed.

The book making of the Tang Dynasty can be divided into three categories. The first category is the book, which is used when setting up queens, princes, and entrusting kings. These books are all written on bamboo slips.

The second category is book making, which is used in important matters such as appointing and dismissing high-ranking officials, changing the system, and pardoning prisoners of war. The third category is consolation book, which is used by the emperor to praise others. The latter two kinds of books are generally written on silk yellow paper.

The book that Yang Jing found in Wu Zetian's Mausoleum is the second kind of book, and it is also extremely precious.

Now there is another copy of Zhu Chongba's imperial edict, and now Yang Jing has two imperial edicts from two dynasties in his hands!

Yang Jing didn't dare to take up this imperial edict at all, for fear that the outside air would harm this imperial edict.

Under the imperial decree, there are volumes of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures. Yang Jing flipped through them. Most of these Buddhist scriptures were hand-copied Buddhist scriptures from the Hongwu period to the Wanli period, and they were not hand-copied Buddhist scriptures by a famous calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, so In terms of value, the value of these hand-copied Buddhist scriptures is far lower than those hand-copied Buddhist scriptures that Yang Jing found from Wu Zetian's Mausoleum.

However, the value of these Buddhist scriptures is also quite high. After all, these are manuscripts from the Ming Dynasty. Especially, most of these Buddhist scriptures are very complete handwritten Buddhist scriptures, and their archaeological value is greater than their own historical value.

Buddha Says Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, Gaozong Yuzan, Buddha Says Malizhitian Fundamental Vow Sutra, Shengguan Zizai Great Compassionate Mind and Spirit, Zunsheng Dharani God, Vajrasattva埵百字呪, Maha Geci Mantra, Seeking to Cultivate the Foot of the Mountain to Clamp the Leaves Without Mantra, Buddha Said Dispelling Disasters and Auspicious Gods, Infinite Life Buddha Said Rebirth in the Pure Land, Buddha is not allowed to mention God's Mantra, Diamond Sutra, Avalokitesvara Sutra, Amitabha Sutra, Malizhi Heavenly Sutra, Tianfei Sutra, Heart Sutra, Surangama Sutra, Great Compassion Mantra, Zunsheng呪, Hundred Characters Shen 呪.

Yang Jing counted, and there are twenty sets of complete hand-copied Buddhist scriptures in this huge iron box, which is quite a considerable number.

In fact, hand-copied Buddhist scriptures in the Ming Dynasty were also very valuable.

In 2015, at Sotheby's New York's Ancient Chinese Painting and Calligraphy sale, a total of 213 items participated in the auction, and 199 items were finally sold, with a total turnover of 41.44 million US dollars.

Among them, Lot No. 427, a hand-copied Buddhist scripture in regular script of the Ming Dynasty without money was sold at a high price of 14.026 million US dollars. If the commission is included, this hand-copied Buddhist scripture alone is equivalent to 87.08 million national currency!

It is said that this hand-copied Buddhist scripture came from a collector in Japan, but the pre-estimated price of this Buddhist scripture did not even exceed US$150,000. As a result, a buyer from China, Shanghai, stiffened the price of this hand-copied Buddhist scripture. It was lifted a hundred times!

The hand-copied Buddhist scriptures without inscriptions can be sold at such a price, but if this book here is not only inscribed, but also a very complete set of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, if it goes up for auction, what price will it be?

Of course, these hand-copied Buddhist scriptures will not be auctioned if Yang Jing is killed. These treasures left by the Chinese ancestors can only be exhibited in the museum for the common people of China. Combining these Buddhist scriptures with those obtained from Wu Zetian's Mausoleum, it is entirely possible to set up a special exhibition hall to display these national treasures.

After taking out all the Buddhist scriptures in the iron box, another box was emptied.

Yang Jing then opened the third box. As a result, there was no tarpaulin in the third box. After opening, there were some rotten and ugly withered grass inside, but the withered grass was packed tightly, which made Yang Jing somewhat curious. .

After pulling away the withered grass, a large white jar was revealed, especially the azure blue pattern on the shoulder exposed among the withered grass, which immediately lifted Yang Jing's spirit.

This is. A thought suddenly flashed through Yang Jing's mind, and even his consciousness trembled a little.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Yang Jing slowly and carefully took out the big jar, and suddenly, a gust of atmosphere rushed over his face.

This is the Yuan blue and white pot? Yang Jing muttered subconsciously, and then said with certainty: This is the Yuan blue and white pot!

There is no need for identification, just relying on the shape, blue and white decoration and color of this big jar, Yang Jing can almost conclude that this is a legendary big blue and white pot of Yuan Dynasty, and it is also a big pot of blue and white characters in Yuan Dynasty that has never appeared before. !

Yang Jing has also learned a lot about porcelain during these days. The fourth master, Cai Yi, is the director of the Porcelain Research Institute of the Palace Museum. With such a master, Yang Jing can't be lazy even if he wants to. So Yang Jing now has a fairly thorough understanding of porcelain.

Even if this big pot hadn't been identified, Yang Jing could tell that it was a large pot of Yuan blue and white characters with a wide open door just by feeling.

Blue-and-white porcelain existed as early as the Tang Dynasty, but it was carried forward in the Yuan Dynasty. Although the workmanship of blue-and-white porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was even better than that of Yuan blue-and-white porcelain, in the understanding of the Chinese public, when blue-and-white porcelain is mentioned, The first thing people think of is Yuan blue and white.

Moreover, compared with the blue-and-white porcelains of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the blue-and-white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is more simple and elegant, especially the imported green materials used on large vessels, combined with those large vessels, it gives the blue-and-white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty a unique charm and charm. .

The reason why Yuan blue and white is famous is that at the Christie's auction in London on July 12, 2005, a large pot of Yuan blue and white Guiguzi went down the mountain was sold for 14 million pounds, and 15.688 million pounds after commission. It is equivalent to about 230 million national currency!

At that time, this price could buy two tons of gold, and it also set the highest auction record for art in Asia and became famous for a while, bringing the collection of blue and white porcelain to a new height.

After the big pot in Guiguzi went down the mountain for a sky-high price, Yuan Qinghua became famous in China, and the people of China fully knew the value of Yuan Qinghua.

The Yuan blue-and-white pot is undoubtedly a first-class national treasure in China, but it is a pity that of the nine Yuan blue-and-white character pots that have appeared in the world, only one is in China.

At present, there are only nine Yuan blue-and-white figure pots recognized in the world, among which the Yuan blue-and-white Guiguzi Xiashan pot and the Yuan blue-and-white Sangu thatched pot are in the hands of the British. in the hands of the Pegasus Foundation.

There are also three large pots in the hands of the Japanese. The large pot of Yuan blue and white Baihuating is now collected by the Wanye Art Museum in Japan. The large pot of Yuan blue and white Zhaojun Chusai is in the Idemitsu Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan. In the hands of the Anzhai Art Museum in Japan.

The remaining four large pots, the big pot of burning incense in Yuan blue and white West Chamber was collected by a private collector in Southeast Asia; The main urn fell into the hands of the Boston Museum.

It is worth mentioning that there are currently two Yuan Qinghua Yuchi Gong single-riding savior pots in the world. The first one is in Boston, and the second is in Huaxia. This is the only Yuan Qinghua character in Huaxia. Big can.

This large pot was unearthed in Siguanling in Hengxian County, Bagui Dadi in 1980. However, after this rare treasure was unearthed, it was discarded in the corner for seven years; until 1987, an agronomist accidentally discovered it. This treasure, I picked it up and used it to grow flowers and hold seeds; in 1989, cultural relic experts confirmed the status of this big jar as a national treasure.

If it were not for the Yuan blue and white Yuchi Gong single-riding savior pot unearthed in Gui Province, there would not even be a Yuan blue and white figure pot in China, which is definitely a tragedy.

But it’s different now. As soon as Yang Jing saw this big pot, he knew that it was also a baby with a big open door, and this baby was different from the big pots with eight characters that appeared before, because the big pot’s The pattern is different from the eight known large pots of blue and white characters in Yuan Dynasty. The pattern of this big pot is actually a brand new pattern of characters.

Yang Jing once saw a bottle with a similar pattern in Jinling Museum. This bottle is a plum bottle with blue and white pictures in Yuan Dynasty. Blue and white Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xintu plum vase!

There are currently only three plum vases in the world, one of which is in the collection of Nanbo, one is in the hands of an overseas collector, and the last one was at an auction in 2011. It fetched a sky-high price of 840 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the pattern of this big blue and white pot of Yuan Dynasty is very similar to the pattern of Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin picture plum vase in Nanbo, that is to say, this big pot should be called Yuan blue and white big pot of Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin under the moon!

The big jar of Yuan blue and white characters with this pattern has never been shown in the world, that is to say, if this big jar is taken out, it will be the tenth big jar of Yuan blue and white characters in the world, and it is also the big jar of Yuan blue and white characters. The ninth pattern in the big pot!

This is definitely the most important national treasure of Chinese porcelain, and it is the most important national treasure of China on par with the Yuan blue and white Yuchi Gong single-riding savior pot collected by the Boston Museum!
