Chapter 263 Taihao Mausoleum

Although Chenzhou County is only a county seat, it has a long history and is a provincial-level historical and cultural city.

In this kind of city, the most indispensable thing is the antique market.

There are few large-scale antique markets in ordinary counties, but it is different in Yu Province. After all, the history of this land is too long. Any small county town may be the fiefdom of a certain prince and royal family. It has been accumulated for thousands of years. I don't know how many treasures are buried in the loess layer.

Not to mention Chenzhou, a famous city with a name and surname in history, let alone the glory of the pre-Qin period. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it has always been an important vassal state, that is, Chen State, like Cao Zhi, Chen Baxian and other celebrities' fiefs are located in Chenzhou County.

Because of this, the antique market here is quite hot. On the way into the city, I saw many antique shops that were open, and also saw a small-scale antique market, and there were quite a lot of people.A search on the Internet shows that the antique market in some tourist attractions is larger, such as Taihao Mausoleum Square.

Taihao Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Taihao Fuxi, the "head of the three emperors". It is one of the eighteen famous tombs in the country. The emperor's 52 imperial sacrifices are said to be the place where Fuxi, the "ancestor of the people", Taihao made his capital and died forever. It has always been known as the "sacred place of the first dynasty in the world".

Taihao Mausoleum is grand in scale and solemn. Every year from the second day of February to the third day of March in the lunar calendar, as well as on the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, there are sacrificial activities. The number of tourists who come to worship reaches as many as 10. 08 In 82, it set a world record for the largest number of people visiting in a single day, reaching [-] people.

Such a prosperous tourist attraction will naturally not lack the blending of antique dealers. There is a large-scale antique market near Taihao Mausoleum Square, which is usually only open on Thursdays.Fortunately, Han Zhenyang and the others were lucky, today happened to be Thursday.

Han Zhenyang proposed to visit the antique market, not only to satisfy his own interests, but mainly because Wang Xiaoyao was also interested in antiques. Before setting off, the girl once casually said that she must visit Taihao Mausoleum and The local antique market was then kept in his mind.

Now that she brought it up, Wang Xiaoyao really smiled. There is no girl who would not like careful boys. Boys can keep their casual words in their hearts and show them at critical moments, which is more effective than giving rose chocolates.

Like a little girl who got a toy, Wang Xiaoyao wandered around Taihao Mausoleum happily holding Han Zhenyang's arm, and was not in a hurry to visit the antique market, but just wandered around like that, occasionally taking a few photos of the two of them, and finally lost a stick Xiang, looks quite religious.

"What wish did you make?" Han Zhenyang asked with a smile.

"I won't tell you," Wang Xiaoyao gave him a coquettish look, and then dragged him straight to the big square in front of the Mausoleum Temple, where it was bustling with antique dealers setting up street stalls everywhere.

Wang Xiaoyao doesn't collect many antiques, but she just likes looking at antiques and visiting antique markets. According to her, she likes the lively atmosphere, because it makes her feel like going back to ancient times through time and space.

Han Zhenyang laughed, "You read too many time-travel novels."

"Don't dare to laugh at me, look for a fight," Wang Xiaoyao punched Han Zhenyang's chest a few times, then happily picked up a very simple jade board, looked at the front and back, and then asked Han Zhenyang: "Is there any pre-Qin style? "

Han Zhenyang smiled, "Just take it if you like it, anyway, I don't know what money it is."

"Then I'll take it," Wang Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, but he asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Take it if you like it, anyway, I don't understand it," Han Zhenyang said indifferently.

Wang Xiaoyao pouted, "Okay, who told you not to study hard, you are illiterate," and then bargained with the boss. The boss saw that Han Zhenyang and Han Zhenyang were both young and overheard their conversation, and smiled secretly: two sticks , See if I don't kill you.

Then directly ask for a price of [-].

Of course Wang Xiaoyao was not happy, so he pursed his lips in displeasure and directly removed a zero and slashed more than one knife, and returned the 300 yuan directly.

Han Zhenyang was stunned at the side, this girl looked silly, but unexpectedly she was a veteran, this bargaining method was more sophisticated than him, she looked like an old fritter who often fumbled in the antique market.

The most important thing is that this girl was lucky, or she had good eyesight, and found a little treasure as soon as she got started.

Why do you say that, because this piece of jade plate is genuine old jade, and it is old jade with a certain age. Although it is not as old as the pre-Qin period, it is also from the Han Dynasty. To be precise, it should be made in the Han Dynasty imitating the pre-Qin style. A piece of jade board.

This jade board is round, with an abstract and simplified image of the Golden Crow carved out of the middle using hollow-out techniques.

In the pre-Qin period, the sun was the totem of many tribes and nationalities. After it was visualized, it became the Golden Crow. The bronze tree unearthed in Sanxingdui has this style and shape of the image of the Golden Crow, which has a simple and mysterious beauty.

Although this jade plate is an imitation of the Han Dynasty, the carving is excellent. It has the unique simplicity and atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time retains the mysterious and ancient meaning of the pre-Qin period. The most important thing is that the jade is of good quality. , is the standard Kunlun white jade, also known as Hetian jade.

You must know that during the Qin and Han Dynasties, transportation was underdeveloped, and the development of western Xinjiang was still in a very primitive state. Kunlun jade was a rare product. At that time, most of the jade wares were made of Lantian jade, Dushan jade and Xiuyu. Only princes and nobles can afford Hetian jade.

And this golden crow jade plate carved in the style of the pre-Qin Dynasty is obviously not a practical vessel, but a ritual vessel used to worship ancestors or gods.

As we all know, in the antique market, in addition to calligraphy, paintings and stationery supplies, the most valuable thing is ritual vessels. Because the ancients valued rituals and were extremely devout when offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods, most of the ritual vessels produced were more exquisite, and even some The ritual vessel also recorded some more important information.

Such a Jinwu jade plate imitating the style of the pre-Qin period in the Han Dynasty can sell for at least [-] to [-] yuan in the market. If the jade plate can be used as a plate, the price may be even higher.

Now, of course it is cheaper for Wang Xiaoyao.

Wang Xiaoyao successfully won this golden crow jade plate with 650 yuan after some arduous bargaining. To be precise, this should be the jade in the "six auspicious ritual vessels" Bi, Cong, Gui, Zhang, Hu, and Huang. Bi.

Leaving the booth, Han Zhenyang smiled and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, junior sister has good eyesight."

"Hee hee, senior brother also has good eyesight. He even knew how to cooperate with me. I thought you would say it out of nowhere." Wang Xiaoyao grinned and looked Han Zhenyang up and down: "Senior brother, why don't we have a competition? One person picks three treasures to see whose value is higher."
