Play treasure master

Chapter 381
"Gao Guyu is like this, especially before the Xia Dynasty. There are many pieces of jade in the Hongshan jade that haven't been decorated yet!" The young man lit a cigarette, "You don't need to use smoke bombs, since you like it Yes, I've also quoted the lowest price, don't you want it, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?"

This guy is really straightforward.Or it may be that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and I try to sell as much as I can, exchange more money, and don't want to overstock the goods.

After seeing it, Yu Yao guessed that he would not surrender again, so he nodded and won the "Large Stone Needle" for 8000 yuan.

When you leave this stall, you will also leave the street stall area.

Originally, I agreed to Lao Huang and went to sit in his shop before leaving, but it was already lunch time, and I was a little suspicious of eating in the past. Going further, you just arrived at the shop area, and you can go shopping if you have something suitable.

During the meal, Shen Ge asked Yu Yao about the "Large Stone Needle" in detail.

"This should be a cone-shaped vessel from the Liangzhu culture. It is an out-and-out high ancient jade in the late Neolithic age. However, the quality of the jade is really not good, and the decoration is not the classic animal face pattern, human pattern, etc. of the Liangzhu culture. Face patterns, god patterns and so on. The reason why I won it is because I haven’t collected Liangzhu culture jades yet.”

"Well, it doesn't seem like a big leak." Shen Ge interfaced.

"Yes. Liangzhu jade wares are of high quality, ornamentation, and engraving, so it is easy to charge a high price, but this cone-shaped vessel costs about [-] yuan. This guy is a smart guy, probably because he received it cheaply. He was eager to make a move to give up to Baqian. Besides, he may not be sure that it is a Liangzhu culture jade."

"Then what is this thing for?" Shen Ge asked again.

Yu Yao scratched his head. He hadn't thought about this question carefully, and even in the academic world, there was no conclusion.

Because there are holes, it may be ornaments, such as necklaces and waist ornaments; it may also be things like hairpins; and it is used for sacrifices, but the cones are relatively slender, not like exhibits, but it is recorded in ancient books Through the sacrificial method of "holding jade with hands".

It may also be a tool, and it is unlikely that it can really be used as a "stone needle", because the prismatic mouth is not conducive to fitting, but the lower end is sharp, and it can be used for boning.Or, it is not impossible to use it as a tool for criticism.

In short, there are many possibilities, and it is difficult to determine.There are almost no written historical materials in the Neolithic Age, so it can only be inferred based on artifacts.

"I'll study the decoration later, maybe I'll find something new." Yu Yao finally said.

After eating, the two returned to the antique market, and first strolled around the shop area.During the period, I passed Liu Datou's Yawan Pavilion, but the store was closed.

Arriving at Lao Huang's Yimo Studio, Lao Huang was on the phone at the door, seeing Yu Yao and Shen Ge coming, he quickly hung up the phone and told them to go in.

After chatting for a while, Lao Huang asked Yu Yao with a smile, "Those couple are ignorant, but you also picked up the mistake, right?"

After Yu Yao spoke briefly, Shen Ge then took out the Jade Rabbit and showed Lao Huang.

Lao Huang thanked him for taking it, and asked while looking at it, "How is Mr. Shen?"

After Shen Ge responded, Lao Huang cheerfully praised the two of them for their talent and beauty.

Yu Yao originally wanted to sit down for a while and leave, but then Lao Huang asked solemnly, "There is something, I wonder if I can palm it?"

Upon hearing him say "You Zhang", Yu Yao smiled and said, "In terms of calligraphy and painting, Lao Huang, you are an expert, so I can at most follow along to appreciate it."

"Humble, aren't you?" Lao Huang stretched out his hand and nodded twice, "However, it's not calligraphy and painting, but a volume of scriptures."

"The scriptures? One volume? Could it be that the Tang people wrote the scriptures?" Yu Yao immediately picked the most famous one to ask.

"To be knowledgeable is to be knowledgeable, so please!" Lao Huang got up and let Yu Yao and Shen Ge into the inner room.

What Lao Huang took out was a sutra scroll more than 20 centimeters wide and two meters long.To be precise, it is not a piece, but a section, not complete.

Yu Yao took a closer look, and it was indeed the jute paper from the Tang Dynasty. After a long time, the quality of the paper has become like withered brown leaves.

The font is proficient and dignified, and the regular script reveals the official meaning.

The scriptures are a small part of the Great Prajna Paramita Sutra. The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra was originally in Sanskrit and was translated into Chinese by Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty, with a total of six hundred volumes in sixteen chapters.In the Tang Dynasty, hand-copied "Great Prajna Paramita Sutra" was relatively common.

"Old Huang, how did you get here?" Yu Yao asked while watching.

Yu Yao had a vague feeling that this was very similar to the batch of scriptures that were discovered and flowed out of the scripture cave in Dunhuang more than 100 years ago.

In 1900, Wang Yuanlu, a Taoist priest at the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, cleaned up the accumulated sand and found a scripture cave. Inside, there were more than 4 Buddhist scriptures, documents, embroidery, silk paintings and other cultural relics, including a large number of people from the Tang Dynasty. write scriptures.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, local officials and prominent people did not realize its value, and the Qing government failed to protect it. Most of the cultural relics in the scripture cave were taken away by "expedition teams" from various countries. In the end, only a small part remained, about [-] pieces, before the Qing government sent people to escort them to the capital.

But during the process of transporting them to the capital, about [-] pieces were missing!There are various reasons, both internal and external.

"I received it!" Lao Huang introduced, "Someone delivered it to the store two days ago."

"Here? Lao Huang, I think it looks a bit like the scriptures written by the Tang people that came out of the Dunhuang scripture cave." Yu Yao straightened it out.

"It's not like I still don't accept it! I've seen a lot of pictures and videos, it's like that. Most of the scriptures were exiled abroad, and a small part of them were exiled among the Chinese people; however, they all happened in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The inheritance is orderly, so there is no problem."

"Then, who is the owner?" Yu Yao asked again.

"It's an old lady, she said it was left by the old man." Old Huang replied, "I also specifically asked my son and daughter if they agreed, and she said that the son and daughter had already sold what the old man left! This one They are not interested in anything that has no beginning or end. She only remembered it after cleaning up years ago, and she thought she might as well sell it to buy some new year's goods."

"They don't know the goods together!"

"After all, there are only a few people who know the goods. If the jute paper is rolled into a roll, how can ordinary people think it is a good thing?"

Yu Yao nodded, and continued to examine the scriptures, but as he watched, his face became more and more serious, and finally he frowned.

Lao Huang noticed something strange from the side, "What? Can't you reach Tang?"

"This paper is fine, and the font feels like the style of Tang people, but the ink color doesn't seem right." Yu Yao was not too polite to Lao Huang, "How much did you charge?"

"It's not expensive, a few thousand yuan. If you have any questions, you can just talk directly, and there will be no big loss."

"I feel like this is an old imitation of the Republic of China, and it is likely to be the batch of extremely high-end imitations!" Yu Yao finally said.

Lao Huang was stunned, "What kind of extreme method?"
