Treasure Hunt: I Can Possess Infinitely

Chapter 121 The Pirate Ship of the Japanese Pirates
The Fujian Provincial Museum received a call from Mr. Qin, and their curator has a very good relationship with Mr. Qin.

When they learned that there were a batch of blue and white porcelain fragments from the Xuande period, and that they were also related to major historical events such as the diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty, the museum immediately paid attention to it.

The curator came back from other places that day. After learning about the situation, he was very excited and immediately set up a research team.Conduct in-depth research on the sunken ship that Chu Wen has salvaged.

Relevant pictures and other data have been sent to their museum.

"Chongyang, you have the most research on the history of the Ming Dynasty, this time you will be the team leader." Director Fang ordered.

A middle-aged man in the Mediterranean stood up immediately: "Curator, don't worry, leave it to us."

When he saw the book of credentials, Wang Chongyang trembled, which was caused by excitement.That book of credentials is the most direct historical evidence that the Ryukyu Kingdom once belonged to China.

This is of great significance to the study of the diplomatic history of the Ming Dynasty.

The content on the credential is what he is really interested in.

"Well! That's good. Lao Hong, there are thousands of pieces of ancient porcelain this time, and some of them need to be repaired. This work is entrusted to you. You can find a group of people to help." Director Fang continued to arrange.

Porcelain restoration, and there are still thousands of pieces, this is a very huge project, and it may not even be completed in a month or two.

Relying on the manpower of the museum alone may not be enough.That's why curator Fang asked Lao Hong to find someone by himself.

"Okay, I understand." Lao Hong was also a straightforward person.

There are many capable people out there, and they have cooperated with their museums, so I am not afraid that they will not be able to find people.

On the same day, the museum sent a ship out with the people from the Bureau of Cultural Relics.It's impossible for Chu Wen to send it over!It's enough to save face by giving it to Mr. Qin generously.

……

Chu Wen and the others are preparing to salvage the second shipwreck.

The shipwreck this time is not big, it should be a private merchant ship.

But as soon as Mr. Qin saw the sunken ship, he immediately said that it was a pirate ship of Japanese pirates.

As you all know, Japanese pirates are Japanese pirate groups that appeared in China, North Korea, and the coasts of Southeast Asia in the 13th to 16th centuries.

According to historical records, the first batch of Japanese pirates invaded China in 1308, during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Yuan Dynasty.

Although the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty were brave, they were always led by the nose by Japanese pirates. In desperation, the Yuan Dynasty banned the sea.After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates continued to invade the border, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to continue to ban the sea.

Therefore, such things as burning, killing, and looting were not unique to Japan during World War II. This has always been their tradition.

One thing that needs to be specially explained is that the "forbidden sea" has always been debated by history fans.Everyone knows that because of the sea ban, China missed the period of great voyages, which led to the backwardness and shame of the Chinese nation for nearly a hundred years.

As a result, the "Forbidden Sea" was kicked by fans of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In fact, the "forbidden sea" began in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was indeed banned in the Ming Dynasty, so there is nothing to wash away.However, the forbidden sea at this time is not a real closed country, but an open official trade.

Zheng He's voyages are a typical example of official trade.

In the Qing Dynasty, as soon as Yongzheng came to power, he first abolished the "Forbidden Sea".But when he arrived in Qianlong, he actually picked it up again, and he was very arrogant, saying that the Qing Empire is a kingdom of heaven, so there are no good things?There is no need to communicate and contact with the outside world at all.

Ever since, the most severe closed-door policy in history began.

The old man Qianlong is the chief culprit in the decline of modern Chinese history.

"The Japanese pirate's boat? So those things were stolen?" Liu Lixian didn't pay attention to the boat, but stared at the gold on the boat.

They are not experts in cultural relics or history, and they have no interest or patience in studying those things.They all came for those treasures.

"Well! It should be." Qin Lao is still not sure.

Only when those things are salvaged can we find relevant information and evidence and understand the historical truth of the past.

As the contents of the ship were salvaged, Mr. Qin guessed that this pirate ship had plundered the Jiangnan area.

"This is a Taihu stone, not a coral. Therefore, I have enough reasons to believe that they plundered the Jiangnan area." Qin Lao said.

He said that Taihu stone is a kind of strange stone, which is slowly formed after long-term erosion of limestone. It can be divided into two types: water stone and dry stone.Water stones are slowly formed in rivers and lakes after being washed by water waves and eroded over a long period of time.The dry rock is formed by the long-term erosion of the limestone in the geological period under the long-term erosion of the acidic red soil.

They have different shapes and various postures. The color of the psychic and clear Taihu stone can best reflect the beauty of "wrinkled, leaky, thin, and transparent". The color is mostly white stone, and there are few blue-black stones and yellow stones.

"So, this stone is also worth money?"

Old Qin shook his head: "It's worthless now."

"Why?" someone asked.

"Taihu stone is very good in appearance. Since it is a strange stone, it must highlight the strange characters. But this Taihu stone has been soaked in seawater for a long time, and some of the 'singularities' have been corroded.

Simply put, the most valuable part has been eroded by seawater. "Elder Qin explained to everyone.

It is easy to understand, and Liu Lixian and others who have no culture can understand it.

"It's a pity! This was supposed to be a painting, but now only the scroll is left." Elder Qin said regretfully.

Those two scrolls are made of rosewood, so they are also worth a little money.

Then, he picked up a half-meter-high jade carving, which is a typical Suzhou carving technique.

"You guys are really amazing, you can tell what year and where it is." Everyone admired.

Mr. Qin said with a smile: "It's just that the majors are different. If you let me recognize some marine life, I am definitely not as good as you."

He told everyone that the pattern decoration of jade wares in the Ming Dynasty often adopts relief and subtractive relief patterns.This type of embossed pattern decoration smoothes the edges and corners of the raised outlines to form narrow, smooth lines without retaining the sharp edges that appear on the outlines after grinding.

"Especially for piece carving works, most of them are polished in parallel, so that the edges of the raised contours show smooth, narrow and flat thin lines."

Moreover, when the jade wares of the Ming Dynasty showed the works of animals and plants, they mostly retained the traces of pipe drilling.Such as the common valley pattern and milk nail pattern, on the periphery of each pattern unit, slightly deep circular dents left by pipe drill sleeves can often be seen.

"This processing method seems simple, but it actually increases the three-dimensional effect of the theme pattern and makes the shape look full. In the animal theme, the eyes and mouth are usually drilled with a pipe drill sleeve, and the drilling dents are retained. Especially the circle around the eyes There are staring eyes, with sunken eye sockets, showing the ferocious look of animals even more."

"It should be quite valuable, right?" Someone asked, impatient to listen to so much professional knowledge.
