Moreover, after Hong Xiuquan became emperor, it didn't take long for him to become corrupt.

Moreover, killing people does not blink.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied the southern capital, it was originally very advantageous.

But Hong Xiuquan and these people, after entering Nanjing City, began to faint and couldn't find the east, west, north and south.

In the beginning, a number of new policies were introduced.

Things like allowing women to take exams, these are pretty good policies. But in the end, it didn't work. Because those heavenly kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to care only about pleasure, their lives were completely corrupted, and the person who passed the female champion also became the personal assistant of a certain heavenly king.

In the name of it, help work.

In addition, with the failure of the two active attacks on the Qing army, it also caused internal strife in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Between the kings of heaven, you cut me and killed, and they fought happily. In the end, Shi Dakai was forced to leave, and Wei Changhui was killed.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was torn apart.

And Hong Xiuquan also died of illness.

Before his death, Hong Xiuquan knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was powerless to return to heaven.

So a lot of treasure was hidden.

Chen Mo saw Zhou Ye's attention concentrating, so he walked up.

"Boss, this one is the Ming Dynasty period of Fu Lu Shou three immortal elephant carving, if you put it outside, there will definitely be a lot of people scrambling to collect it."

Chen Mo introduced Zhou Ye.

As we all know, ivory carving refers to the carving process and its finished product with ivory as the material, which is an ancient Chinese traditional art and folk arts and crafts.

Now the sale of ivory has been banned in our country.

No buying, no harm.

Chen Mo kept introducing Zhou Ye.

Chinese ivory carving has an extremely long history, dating back to the Neolithic Age. As early as the Paleolithic Age, the cave people living in Zhoukoudian were buried with ivory carvings as decorations.

"Historical Records: The Weizi Family" has recorded: "The beginning of the elephant hairpin. "Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing emperors all took ivory as a royal offering, and the orchard factory of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty have workshops for the palace to make ivory products, the most representative of which is the ivory masterpiece "Yueman Qingyou"

After thousands of years of development, Chinese ivory carving has formed a number of relatively concentrated central production areas in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, mainly represented by eastern Guangdong, Suzhou and Kyoto.

The various central production sites not only maintain the stylistic characteristics of each place in terms of subject matter and form, but also penetrate each other and exchange technologies.

Since the 80s of the 20th century, for the sake of protecting the elephant population. When it comes to saving endangered species, the international community has begun to abandon rigid trade bans and allow trade in stockpiled ivory. In this way, the supply of ivory raw materials has another glimmer of life.

However, both in terms of human and financial resources, Kyoto's ivory carving craft has entered the brink of extinction.

After China stopped importing ivory directly from Africa on June 1, 1990, and completely banned the international trade of ivory and its products in 1991, any commercial import of ivory was not approved.

Under the ban on ivory (Nuo Zhao) raw materials, the ivory collection has increased, and ivory carvings have continued to appreciate in value.

Ivory carving, bamboo carving, and wood carving are known as the three major categories of traditional carving crafts. Ivory has a firm, fine, soft and smooth texture, and has long been prized by connoisseurs as white gold.

With the ban on ivory trade, coupled with the urgency of raw materials for ivory products, the number of ivory carving handicrafts is also rare, with the consumption of the market, the surviving ivory carving products will become more and more rare. As a result, the price of ivory handicrafts has skyrocketed by 100% for a period of time, and ivory carvings are highly sought after by collectors.
