The Book of Appreciation

Dozens of square inkstones?Chang Lao was also shocked. The oldest things in this box can be seen from the Tang Dynasty, and the others are mostly from the Song Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Even if these inkstones are not famous and exquisite, they are still there because of their age. Good stuff!

Uncovering a layer of inkstone, in the corner of the box, the military adviser took out a black wooden box, Mr. Yang snatched it over, and said with a smile:

"It's time to play the guessing game again. This box is made of sandalwood. There must be something very precious inside. What could it be?"

"You old guy, open it quickly, it can't be an inkstone anyway, you didn't see such precious She inkstones are casually placed at the bottom of the box, and it must be something else good that he can store up so preciously. "

Wu Di frowned, why didn't he notice that there was a black box?But that's okay, it's a bit of a surprise.

The box was opened carefully by Mr. Yang. He took out a stone about the size of two pieces of soap, and murmured:

"The color is so weird, what is it?"

Wu Di took a look at it, the color is very strange, it is impossible to tell how many colors there are, but it can also be said that there is only one color, because it is a gradual color, starting from light purple, gradually deepening, and finally , already close to the color of purple eyes.

"This is a piece of glass, this color, this color...what can people say!"

Wu Di is convinced, this jadeite is really as ever-changing as an elf, I thought eight colors were the limit, but now it seems that there are so many strange things waiting for him to discover!Just what to do with it?bracelet?Pendant?Haha, let Elder Tang have a headache, who told him to call himself a white-eyed wolf last time!

Under the two layers of inkstones are inkstones, round, square, and cylindrical, which are magnificent and cost hundreds of dollars!Chang Yang and his elders looked at each piece, and they couldn't help admiring each other. Even Chang Lao had a thought in his heart, why can't this kind of thing happen to me once?As for Mr. Yang, look at the jaw that hasn't closed yet, do you need to ask?

At the bottom of the box is a layer of gold bricks, which is the real box-holding thing, but at this moment, in the eyes of these people, it is indeed just a box-stopping thing, and no one is even willing to take a second look at them!

After packing up the second box, Elder Yang felt a little nervous. He rubbed his hands and asked:

"Why don't you take this box to the studio and open it? It's close there."

"If it's a box of ancient paintings, I'm afraid the four of you have to use all your strength. In this way, we will move out a few more tables and put them at the door of the studio. Later, we will take out four pieces at a time, and then we will take another Batch!"

Chang had already figured it out a long time ago. Looking at the contents of the first two boxes, there would probably be no shortage of paintings, so it was the safest way to deal with them.But the quality of the painting may be disappointing, because the possibility of high-quality goods is relatively small.Since the Tang Dynasty, although there have been many famous court painters, will their works be given to these weak barbarians?

After packing everything up, Mr. Yang and the others seemed to be approaching a big battle, watching intently the Doraemon and the military adviser who were trying to pry the box.

"Okay, how to open it?"

The robot cat stopped, held the lid of the box and asked.

"Open it, take out four as quickly as possible, then close the lid, wait!"

The robot cat glanced at the military adviser, nodded, and quickly opened the lid of the box. After that, Mr. Yang and his apprentice found that there was a pair of bright yellow scrolls in their hands. Open the workbench carefully, pick up the brush and start brushing.

What Mr. Yang got was the imperial decree of Li Shimin that Wu Di saw. He brushed it a few times before he opened all the imperial decree.He glanced at the inscription, and was stunned, his hands trembled, and he almost threw the brush away.

"My God, the imperial decree of Li Shimin, the Holy Lord of the Tang Dynasty!"

Immediately afterwards, exclamations continued,

"Kangxi's imperial decree!"

"Mine belongs to Kublai Khan!"

"Mine actually belonged to Wu Zetian!"

The last sound was almost groaning, this, these almost extinct things, will play the imperial decree in a box dug out from a foreign country!What a concept!

Chang Lao felt that his eyesight was not enough. Although the contents of these edicts were ordinary words of encouragement, but who are their masters?What is that seal on the back?My God, it's not just collectors, if those experts and professors who study history see it, they will probably be even crazier!How many papers will this get them to write?What precious information will be provided for the study of the relationship between ancient China and its vassal states?

"Li Longji's."

"Qianlong's."

"This is actually Zhu Yuanzhang's!"

"Hehe, I still have Zhao Kuangyin's here!"

……

Great treasure, the most important treasure of the country!Chang Lao looks serious,

"These things must be well protected, even if a thread rots, it will be a huge loss! Lao Yang, you have to be careful."

Wu Di was in a daze. He knew that the things inside might be very precious, but he didn't dare to think about it being so big. This fucking is simply a large collection of ancient Chinese sages!He has no doubt that if there were tribes worshiping in Burma during the Qin Dynasty, these guys would even keep Qin Shihuang's imperial decree to this day!Could it be that they have imperial edict collection addiction?But this span was recorded over thousands of years, how could it be preserved so well?

The work is still going on intensely. After taking out the seventeen imperial edicts, the rest are all kinds of ancient paintings. The inscription of this one needs to be studied, so there is no more exclamation.Chang Lao took Li Shimin's imperial decree, looked at the seal on it repeatedly, and said:

"We will compare the seals of these dynasties later, and maybe we can confirm the exact date of the disappearance of the Chuan Guo Yuxi."

"It's possible, but even if it's confirmed, it's hard to find. That thing is too eye-catching."

Mr. Yang just finished processing a picture of flowers blooming and wealth, straightened his waist and sighed.

"I have a picture here, it's actually Castiglione's picture of a peacock opening its screen!"

A middle-aged man called out.

A few people leaned over to take a look, it was Castiglione who was right!

"Myanmar is the hometown of peacocks. It has been famous since ancient times. It is estimated that a few tributes were paid in those years. In exchange for this picture of peacocks, it is a big deal!"

"If you say that Little Burma really understands people, these things are preserved countless times better than ours. Could it be that they haven't fought wars or changed dynasties for so many years?"

Chang Lao shook his head, this is simply impossible, the ancient times in Myanmar are probably even more chaotic than ancient China...

"There is a kind of tree in Myanmar. Its sap can protect these perishable things very well after being prepared. This formula has existed in ancient times, and it is probably the biggest contributor to the preservation of these things. However, if it is concentrated in a certain dynasty Fortunately, it is easy to understand that the war was chaotic, and it was preserved after digging a pit and burying it. But like this, the time span has spanned thousands of years, and it has not been broken. These treasures, it is said that a bastard named Wu Di will come to receive the goods after thousands of years?"

Mr. Yang explained some of the reasons why these treasures were intact, but raised a bigger doubt.Wu Di smiled bitterly and said:

"Actually, who sank these things into the water, and why didn't they send them back to China immediately after breaking through Burma? This is the biggest problem."

"Hehe, don't worry about it, anyway, you kid is taking advantage of it!"

Soon, more than 30 ancient paintings were processed, leaving only the largest scroll in the box.This scroll is more than 40 centimeters on the vertical axis, and the thickness of the scroll on the horizontal axis is likely to exceed two meters!

Mr. Yang carefully brushed the scroll, while slowly opening the scroll. Mr. Chang couldn't wait, and stood watching. He had a feeling that this might be the most precious item in this box!

As the picture unfolded, Chang Lao's face became more and more solemn. The picture was neither signed nor sealed. Judging from the unfolded part, it should be a picture of a night banquet.The characters in the painting are plump and their movements are natural. At first glance, it is the painting style of the Tang Dynasty.A majestic emperor wears a high crown, holds a wine glass, and leans on the dragon chair. Everyone in the hall sits cross-legged behind the long table, whispering, toasting to him, or drinking freely, in different shapes.

Chang Lao stared at the face of the emperor in the painting for a long time, then suddenly slapped his palms, and shouted:

"What a picture of a night banquet. This Yan Liben has drawn all the hundred and ten people alive! It's unbelievable that this is more than 1000 years ago!"

Yan Liben?Wu Di didn't use the heavenly book to test these things, they must be genuine, it doesn't need to be said at all.And these paintings are likely to be the works of court painters. He is going to go back to make up his homework and then appreciate them slowly to see how many he can recognize with real skill.However, he still knew who Yan Liben was. This prime minister of the Zhenguan Year, who was mediocre in governance, had achieved in painting, especially in portraiture, in China for 5000 years, almost invincible!

Yan Liben's paintings are round and vigorous in brushwork and vivid in spirit, especially good at political themes. Today there are "Pictures of Emperors of Past Dynasties", "Pictures of Xiao Yi Earning the Orchid Pavilion", "Pictures of Walking Chariots", "Pictures of Paying Tributes", etc., which are treasures.

With the cooperation of several apprentices, Mr. Yang moved very quickly. After a while, the picture scroll had been processed, and a magnificent giant painting with a vertical axis of 43 cm and a horizontal axis of 270 cm appeared in front of everyone.

There are 110 characters in this painting, including the emperor, various officials, maids, and eunuchs. None of them has repeated expressions and movements, and the temperament and posture of Tang Emperor Li Shimin are even more vivid on the paper.There are 51 tables, and there are countless dishes, fruits, and fine wines on them. If you look closely, they are all different, which is amazing.

"Although this painting has not been signed, judging from the style of the painting, it must be Yan Liben. However, Yan Liben was already famous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. How could such a precious thing be given to a small barbarian country? They were still tribes at that time, right? ?”

"Hehe, there are too many suspicious points in this batch of things, and I don't care about adding this one, or maybe they offered some important gifts that were in line with Emperor Tang's wishes at that time. The most important question now is, no matter how they come back, it will be cheaper. Where is this brat?" (To be continued.)
