Chapter 992 Treasures of the Nine Great Towns

To be honest, Yang Jing didn't expect that the country would do such a move, but this move was an absolute good thing. Not to mention anything else, at least the reputation of the Grand Canal Museum has been completely opened up.

The scenes broadcast on "National News" were recorded by the news interview team specially went to Tianqu. Yang Jing was reluctant to accept the interview, so he accepted the interview calmly, and then this sensational news all over China.

The power of "National News" was immediate. On the second day of the news broadcast, a team of experts from all over the world arrived in Tianqu. These experts were experts from museums across the country, including experts from provincial museums, municipal museums, private museums, and some master-level figures.

Of course, experts from the Palace Museum and experts from the National Museum also arrived in Tianqu early in the morning of this day. These experts were escorting the imperial jade seal and the skull fossils of the Beijing/Beijing/human skull. The news said that in order to commend Yang Jing, the country would put the first exhibition of the imperial jade seal and the skull fossils of the Beijing/Beijing/human skull fossils in the Grand Canal Museum.

This reward was something Yang Jing didn't expect, but Yang Jing liked it very much. He worked hard to find these treasures. Even if he handed them over to the country, he hoped that the Grand Canal Museum could exhibit these national treasures. At first, Yang Jing thought there was not much hope, but the upper floor actually gave such a reward, which really made Yang Jing overjoyed.

Yang Jing's four masters also came with them. Although they had seen the treasures in the treasures of the last tsar before, they had never seen Yang Jing's other collections. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to escort the imperial seal and the skull fossils of the Beijing/Beijing/human skull, they were ready to enjoy their apprentice's collection.

As for other experts at the Palace Museum and those at the National Museum, I just heard that Yang Jing, a young collector, has collected a lot of good things, but they have never seen them, so they are also preparing to take a sneak peek like those museum experts from all over the country.

Yang Jing naturally would not refuse such a request. Yang Jing did not rely on the museum to make money by opening this museum. Although the museum has not officially opened to the public yet, these industry insiders would not refuse Yang Jing if they looked at it in advance.

That's right, after the Grand Canal Museum opened, Yang Jing didn't make any decisions to sell tickets, and the entire museum is completely free to the outside world. If Chinese citizens want to visit the museum, they only need to use their ID cards to enter the museum. Foreign tourists need to use their passports to enter.

Yang Jing is not short of the little money to sell tickets. He just wants his collection to be seen by more people.

People who play collecting have one common characteristic, that is, they wish they could display the best collections in their hands to the whole world, so that their collections would be recognized by the whole world. This is the same whether it is private or national. Otherwise, there would not be so many museums in the world, let alone so many private museums.

Yang Jing decided to exhibit only more than 20,000 collections at the Grand Canal Museum. To be honest, the number of collections in this museum is not the largest compared to ordinary private museums in China, let alone compared to those national and provincial museums.

However, all the collections exhibited by the Grand Canal Museum are fine products. Although these collections have not been truly classified by cultural relics, Yang Jing knew that even the most recent exhibits in his hand were definitely national second-class cultural relics. And there are tens of thousands of them that can meet the national first-class cultural relics standards!

You should know that at present, there are only about 220,000 first-class cultural relics in China, and only more than 550,000 second-class cultural relics. All of these collections in the Grand Canal Museum meet the national second-class cultural relics standards, and most of them meet the standards of first-class cultural relics.

Yang Jing is still very confident about this. Of course, the greater source of this confidence lies in Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang lives in Tianqu, and the old man is in great health now. After learning that Yang Jing has transported all his collections to the Grand Canal Museum, the old man and Yang Jing's grandfather spent almost every day in the Grand Canal Museum, which was a big deal.

Grandpa is a hobby of collection, but he does not understand the standards for the classification of cultural relics. But Mr. Yang knows that he used to work in the Palace Museum. If he doesn't understand the standards for the classification of cultural relics, who else dares to say that he understands it?

Therefore, according to Mr. Yang's general judgment, among the collections in Yang Jing's museum, at least more than 10,000 items meet the national first-class cultural relics classification standards.

The most awesome thing is that according to Mr. Yang’s estimate, many of Yang Jing’s collections even surpass China’s “Nine Treasures of National Capital”!

The so-called nine treasures that have won the country are actually nine of the most representative cultural relics selected by industry insiders from all the national treasures in China, covering nine aspects: gold and silver, bronze, stone carvings and murals, documentary sketches, calligraphy, paintings, handicrafts, ceramics and jade.

In this order, the nine treasures of China's national treasures are the Sun God Bird Gold Ornaments, the Western Zhou Li Gui, the Qin Shi Guwen, the Bamboo Slips of "The Art of War", "Pingfu Tie", "Five Ox Picture", "Relics of the Real Pearls and Relics of the Treasure Banner, the Ding Kiln Child Pillow, and the Dushan Yuhai.

All of these nine national treasures are important weapons of the country, and are naturally extremely precious. They were selected by many cultural relics masters after many trade-offs and choices.

Of course, these nine treasures that are important to maintain national treasures are not necessarily more precious than other national treasures. For example, the Western Zhou Li Gui among bronze ware is more precious than the Si Muwu Dao? It is more precious than the Zeng Hou Yi chime bell? There are also jade artifacts. Is this Dushan jade sea more precious than the golden jade robes? Also, if the existing "The Goddess of the Luo River" and "Han Xizai Night Banquet" cannot be compared with the "Five Ox Picture" because of the imitation, but is this "Five Ox Picture" more precious than the "Step of the Geely Map" and "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"? The latter two are genuine works of 800.

Therefore, the so-called title of the nine treasures that govern the country is not recognized by everyone.

However, after seeing Yang Jing's collections, Mr. Yang said with certainty that among Yang Jing's collections, at least four of them can become well-deserved treasures, and the value of several of them is definitely not below the value of the nine treasures of the country.

Wang Xizhi's original "Preface to the Lanting Collection", no matter in terms of fame or other aspects, is not comparable to Lu Ji's "Pingfu Tie". Although "Pingfu Tie" is 78 years earlier than "Preface to the Lanting Collection", in terms of status in the martial arts world, I am afraid no one can think that Lu Ji can be compared with Wang Xizhi. In the Chinese calligraphy world, who can compare with "Preface to the Lanting Collection"?

In the past, the original works of "Preface to the Lanting Collection" were not found, so "Pingfu Tie" was taken out. After all, "Pingfu Tie" is the earliest existing copybook in China, and Lu Ji's status in the martial arts world is also relatively high.

But now the original works of "The Preface to the Lanting Collection" have appeared. Which copybook in the world dares to compete with "The Preface to the Lanting Collection"? If you say that it is a big deal, people in China will unanimously believe that "The Preface to the Lanting Collection" is the real treasure of calligraphy!

This is undisputed.

Like "Pingfu Tie", although Han Huan's "Five Ox Picture" is also very precious, it is probably slightly worse than the original works of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Well, you can say that Han Huan was from the Tang Dynasty, and the history of "Five Ox Picture" is hundreds of years earlier than "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", so "Five Ox Picture" is more precious.

Don’t forget that Yang Jing also has the original work of Yan Liben, "Dongshi Rice Break Opening Picture" by him! In terms of status in the world, Yan Liben is not a little higher than Han Huan. In terms of time, Yan Liben was a master of the early Tang Dynasty, and you, Han Huan, were only from the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Even if you, Han Huan, were named the Duke of the Kingdom, you, Han Huan, are really not as good as Yan Liben in the calligraphy and painting world.

Therefore, the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and the "Dongshi Rice Spreading Picture" in Yang Jing's hand are all beyond the "Five Niu Picture".

As for literature and calligraphy, the bamboo slips of "The Art of War" in "The Art of War" are of course extremely precious, but the batch of bamboo slips unearthed in Yinque Mountain in Lu Province are really amazing. Moreover, the bamboo slips of "The Art of War" are obviously not written by Sun Tzu.

In comparison, the significance and value of most of the original sets of "Yongle Encyclopedia" in Yang Jing's hand is definitely far more important than the bamboo slips of "The Art of War" in "The Art of War". Perhaps the history of the original set of "Yongle Encyclopedia" is far less than that of the bamboo slips of "The Art of War". After all, one was from the early Ming Dynasty and the other was from the Han Dynasty. However, if you really want to talk about the value, probably no one would say that the bamboo slips of "The Art of War" can be comparable to the original set of most of the original sets of "Yongle Encyclopedia"!

In terms of ceramics, Ding Kiln Child Pillow is of course extremely precious, after all, this is a fine product of Song Wu Kiln. However, the porcelain in Yang Jing's hand, whether it is the two Ge Kiln porcelains in the world, or the more precious Chai Kiln Tianqing Glaze Narcissus vase, are not worth less than this Ding Kiln Child Pillow, in terms of cherishing, far exceeding this Ding Kiln Child Pillow.

Especially the Chai Kiln Sky-Glazed Narcissus vase, which is almost a legendary existence. In the eyes of experts, this Chai Kiln Sky-Glazed Narcissus vase is more suitable for the country's treasure than Ding Kiln Haier Pillow.

This is the conclusion given by Mr. Yang, and Yang Jing is convinced of it. In other words, if these four pieces (sets) of treasures are exhibited, it will definitely lead industry experts to start the selection of the nine national treasures again.

Not to mention the imperial seal discovered by Yang Jing, the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu, the Twelve Golden People of Qin, and the Skull Flower Stones of Bei/Beijing/Man. Once those four sets of treasures appear, they will definitely be the new treasure of the country.
