Chapter 748 Yuan Qinghua Xiao He Yue Chasing Han Xin Big Pot

After using the holy rings to identify, Yang Jing confirmed that this imperial edict was the imperial edict of Zhu Chongba and Zhu Yuanzhang.

This unexpected joy made Yang Jing very happy. Yang Jing had collected a piece of Wu Zetian's "bookmaking" in Wu Zetian's tomb. This kind of bookmaking was actually the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the bookmaking was originally called "Edict". Later, Wu Zetian became emperor, and in order to avoid her name Wu Zhao (zhào), she changed the edict to "Edict". Of course, the function was still the same. Because the bookmaking processed important government affairs, its classification would be more detailed.

The "book making" in the Tang Dynasty can be divided into three categories. The first category is book book, namely, the establishment of queens, crown princes, and the assignment of kings. These book book book are all written on bamboo slips.

The second type is bookmaking, which is used in important matters such as appointing and removing senior officials, changing systems, and pardoning prisoners of war. The third type is "comfort bookmaking", which is used by the emperor to praise others. The latter two types of bookmaking are generally written in silk and yellow paper.

The book made by Yang Jing in Wu Zetianling is the second type of book made and is also an extremely precious existence.

Now there is another imperial edict from Zhu Chongba. At this moment, Yang Jing has two imperial edicts from two dynasties!

Yang Jing did not dare to take out space at all for this imperial edict, for fear that the air from the outside world would cause harm to the imperial edict.

Under the imperial edict, there are hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, which Yang Jing read through. 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 famous calligraphers of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in terms of value, the value of these hand-copied Buddhist scriptures is far lower than the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures found by Yang Jing from Wu Zetian Tomb.

However, these Buddhist scriptures are also quite valuable. After all, these are handwritten copies of the Ming Dynasty, especially these Buddhist scriptures are mostly very complete handwritten Buddhist scriptures, and their archaeological value is greater than their own historical value.

"The Buddha's Heart Sutra of the Paropomata", "Gaozong's Imperial Praise", "The Buddha's Original Vow of the Morizhi Heaven", "The Holy Avalokitesvara's Great Compassion Heart Sun", "The God of Dharani", "The Hundred Characters Sun", "The Mantra of the Vajrasattva", "The Mantra of the Mahagata", "Seeking to Practice the Mountain Foot and Fold the Leaves without the Mantra", "The Buddha's God of Abstinence to Eliminate Disasters and Auspiciousness", "The Buddha's Word of the Pure Land Sun", "The Buddha's Do Not Rejuvenate the Spirit of the Buddha", "The Diamond Sutra", "The Amitabha Sutra", "The Amitabha Sutra", "The Amitabha Sutra", "The Heavenly Concubine Experience Sutra", "The Heart Sutra", "The Great Compassion Mantra", "The Mantra of the Hundred Characters Sun".

Yang Jing counted and found that there were twenty-one complete sets of hand-written Buddhist scriptures in this huge iron box, and the number was very considerable.

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

In the 2015 "Ancient Chinese Calligraphy and Painting" special session at Sotheby's New York, a total of 213 lots participated in the auction, and 199 items were sold, with a total transaction volume of up to US$41.44 million.

Among them, the No. 427 Lot, a hand-copied Buddhist scripture in Ming Dynasty without any style, was sold at a high price of US$14.026 million. If the commission is included, this hand-copied Buddhist scripture alone is equivalent to 87.08 million yuan!

It is said that this hand-copied Buddhist scripture was from a collector in Japan, but the prior estimate of this Buddhist scripture did not even exceed 150,000 US dollars. As a result, a buyer from Shanghai, China raised the price of this hand-copied Buddhist scripture by a hundred times!

The hand-copy Buddhist scriptures without clarification can be sold at this price. This book here not only has clarification, but also has a very complete set of hand-copy Buddhist scriptures. If it is taken, what price will it be?

Of course, Yang Jing would not be photographed if he killed these hand-copied Buddhist scriptures. These treasures left by the ancestors of China can only be exhibited for the Chinese people in museums. These Buddhist scriptures and the Buddhist scriptures obtained from the Wu Zetian Tomb can be combined to create a special exhibition hall to display these national treasures.

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

Yang Jing then opened the third box, but there was no oil cloth in the third box. After opening it, it was filled with some rotten and dissatisfied dead grass, but these dead grass were stuffed very tightly, which made Yang Jing a little curious.

After pulling open these dead grasses, a large white jar was revealed, especially the blue pattern on the shoulders exposed in the middle of these dead grasses immediately cheered up Yang Jing.

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

After taking a deep breath and calming down his mood, Yang Jing slowly and carefully took out the big jar, and suddenly, a sense of atmosphere came to his face.

"Is this a large Yuan blue and white jar?" Yang Jing murmured subconsciously, and then said with certainty: "This is a large Yuan blue and white jar!"

Without identification, just relying on the shape, blue and white patterns and color of this large jar, Yang Jing could almost tell at a glance that this was a legendary Yuan blue and white jar, and it was also a Yuan blue and white figure big jar that had never appeared before!

Yang Jing has also learned a lot of knowledge about porcelain during this period. 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 even steal it even if he wants to be lazy. Therefore, Yang Jing now has a very thorough understanding of porcelain.

Even though this big jar has not been identified, Yang Jing can determine in one go that this is a big jar of blue and white characters with a big opening door.

Blue and white porcelain was found in the Tang Dynasty, but it was developed in the Yuan Dynasty. Although the workmanship of the Ming blue and white porcelain in the Qing Dynasty was even better than that of the Yuan blue and white porcelain, in the Chinese public's understanding, when people talked about blue and white porcelain, the first thing people think of was Yuan blue and white.

Moreover, compared with the Ming Dynasty, the blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty seemed more simple and elegant, especially the imported blue and white materials used for large instruments, combined with those large instruments, the Yuan blue and white porcelain had a unique charm and charm.

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

At that time, it was able to buy two tons of gold, and it also set a record for the highest auction of artworks in Asia and became famous, bringing blue and white porcelain collections to a new height.

After the huge pot of Guiguzi went down the mountain and sold it at a sky-high price, Yuan blue and white porcelain became famous in China, and the Chinese people also fully understood the value of Yuan blue and white porcelain.

The Yuan blue and white jar is undoubtedly the first-class national treasure of China, but unfortunately, there are only one of the nine Yuan blue and white jars that appear in the world.

Currently, there are only nine large jars of Yuan blue and white characters recognized in the world. Among them, the large jars of Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending the mountain and the large jars of Yuan blue and white three-visit thatched cottage are in the hands of the British. The former is collected by the British antique merchant Aeskenaz, while the latter is in the hands of the Pei Gesus Foundation in the UK.

There are three large jars in the hands of the Japanese. The Yuan blue and white Baihua Pavilion large jar is now collected by the Wanye Art Museum in Japan. The Yuan blue and white Zhaojun’s large jar is in the Iron Kawai Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan. The Yuan blue and white Zhou Yafu Xiliuying large jar is in the hands of the Anzhai Art Museum in Japan.

The remaining four large jars, the Yuan Blue and White West Chamber Incense Burning Can was collected by a private collector in Southeast Asia; the Yuan Blue and White Brocade Xiangting Can was collected by Mr. Wang Dinggan, a collector of Wandao; as for the Yuan Blue and White Yuchi Gong, the large jar of the Yuan Blue and White Yuchi Gong, riding alone to save the Lord, it fell into the hands of the Boston Museum.

It is worth mentioning that two Yuan blue and white Yuchi Gong have been riding alone in the world. The first one is in Boston and the second one is in China. This is also the only Yuan blue and white character jar in China.

This large jar was unearthed in 1980 in "Siguanling" in Hengxian, Bagui. However, after this rare treasure was unearthed, it was discarded in the corner for seven years. It was not until 1987 that an agronomist accidentally discovered the treasure and picked it up home to grow flowers and store seeds. In 1989, cultural relics experts confirmed the identity of the national treasure of this large jar, and from then on, China also had its own large jar of Yuan blue and white figures.

If there was no Yuan blue and white Yuchi Gong riding alone to save the master's jar, there would be no Yuan blue and white figures jar in China, which would be absolutely a tragedy.

But now it’s different. When Yang Jing saw this big jar, he knew that this was also a serious treasure with a big door open. Moreover, this treasure was different from the eight big jars of characters that appeared before, because the pattern of this big jar was different from the eight known big jars of Yuan blue and white characters. The pattern of this big jar was actually a brand new figure pattern.

Yang Jing once saw a bottle with a similar pattern in the Jinling Museum. This bottle is a Yuan blue and white plum vase. It is a first-class national treasure of China, a treasure of the Nanbo museum, and one of the three great Chinese porcelains, "Yuan blue and white Xiao He chases Han Xin's plum vase under the moon"!

There are only three plum vases in the world, including the blue and white of Yuan Dynasty, Xiao He, who chased Han Xin under the moon. One of them is collected in Nanbo, the other is in the hands of an overseas collector, and the last one was sold at a sky-high price of HK$840 million at an auction in 2011.

The pattern of this Yuan blue and white jar is very similar to the pattern of the Nanbo plum vase that Xiao He chases Han Xin under the moon. In other words, this big jar should be called the "Yuan blue and white Xiao He chases Han Xin under the moon."

This pattern of Yuan blue and white characters has never been exposed in the world. In other words, 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 ninth pattern of Yuan blue and white characters in the big jar of Yuan blue and white characters!
