Chapter 223 Almost All Funeral Objects-
"Boss, you just said that the grapes are sour because you can't eat grapes. You didn't hear what the youngest said. This is Hanyu, much better than your white porcelain from the Han Dynasty."

The fourth child and the boss were used to bickering before, and this sentence came to the boss's soft door.When the boss was about to refute, he looked at the porcelain pot in his hand, and closed his mouth resentfully.

"Boss, what you said is an amateur, Khan, but you are an amateur, this is Qin, and this is the charm of ancient jade." Wang Haoming explained with a smile.

"What is secretion? Secretion? Can this jade secrete something by itself?" Zhang Gan immediately stuffed the jade in his hand to Wang Haoming as soon as he heard Wang Haoming's words, as if there was something unclean on the jade Things are average.

"Oh... It's tiring talking to you guys."

Wang Haoming sighed pretentiously, but in fact he really enjoyed the feeling of being a teacher.

But when he saw that the boss had a bad complexion and began to gear up, Wang Haoming quickly explained: "Qin seems to be very knowledgeable. In fact, to put it bluntly, the 'rust' on jade is the same as copper and iron. Rusty. However, the rust on the jade is not produced by the jade itself, but caused by the erosion of foreign objects."

In the circle of collecting ancient jade, these jade articles were buried in the soil with the tomb as funerary objects, were dug out later, or were buried in the soil for other reasons, and these jade articles appeared later.

It can be called "unearthed jade". In fact, most of the ancient jade handed down from generation to generation are unearthed jade.

And as long as you get out of the earthy jade, almost without exception, it will be stained, that is, the jade rust I told you just now.

"Wait, youngest, according to what you said, my piece of jade will come out of the earth? Then the colors on it are those..."

The words behind the fourth child are a bit unspeakable.He was right in thinking, the color bleeding on the unearthed jade was certainly caused by the soil, but more of it was the color bleeding on the jade wares from the funerary objects.

"You're right, fourth brother, where and under what circumstances is a piece of ancient jade unearthed. What kind of scar will be attached to it, just like a birthmark on a person's body."

Almost all unearthed jade must have bleeding color, and bleeding color is also very important for jade wares. It is an important basis for studying the age of jade wares and the jade culture, arts and crafts, sculpture art, and funeral culture of the same period.

In the soil, especially in tombs, the environment in which jade objects come into contact is very complicated. The variety of soil or the abundance of burial objects give jade objects different colors.

For example, the yellow-brown color is mostly caused by the soil or the pillow incense that was buried with it, the blue color is mainly caused by the dyeing of the clothes, the black color is caused by the erosion of mercury in the coffin, and the white color is caused by the absorption of silicon in the tomb.

"Hey, fourth brother, the knowledge here is deep, and I don't understand it very well, little brother."

"I can see a little bit of this jade bi. The yellow part of the jade bi is probably the color of the soil, but the brown color should be rust. Ironware. That's why the color is formed."

Wang Haoming's words confirmed the fourth brother's idea that the bleeding on this piece of jade was most likely caused by the dead man's clothing or something on his body.

"Fourth brother, there are many different kinds of sayings in this color. The one with two colors is called Tianxuandihuang, the three-color color is called Taoyuan Jieyi, and the four-color color is called Fulu. Shouxi, Wuseqin is called: Five Blessings Hold Longevity."

"Boss, fourth brother's luck is much better than yours. Although the material of this piece of jade is average, it is only carved from sapphire. But with the addition of these two colors, it can sell for at least 3 to [-] yuan. It's a pity that this jade bi has cattail pattern on the front, if the pattern on one side of this jade bi is dragon pattern pubi, it can be worth more than [-] at least."

The bleeding color mentioned by Wang Haoming often represents people's good wishes.

But for the fourth child, the first impression in his mind was still on the reason for the formation of the jade bicolor.I can't remember that jade itself has the saying of avoiding evil.

The fourth child is from Cantonese, and Guangdong can be said to be the province and city that worships ghosts and gods the most in the country, especially in Chaoshan and Hong Kong. Every family has a shrine to enshrine the ancestors of the gods or Guan Erye.

The Land God of Wealth at the door can be seen everywhere, and the fourth child has been fascinated by it since childhood.Even if he didn't believe it, he still kept a respectful distance from the objects brought from these dead people.

"Bah, I don't want any dead stuff."

What Zhang Qian said made Wang Haoming dumbfounded.Leaving aside ancient jade, among the various antiques that have been handed down from time to time, seven or eight of the ten pieces may have been excavated from tombs. According to Zhang Gan, no one collects antiques anymore.

Most of the antiques stolen from the tombs are treasures. You can imagine that those emperors and ministers had a high status when they were alive. Rong.

For the rich burial objects in those tombs, the industry of tomb robbery has never been cut off since ancient times.

Driven by huge interests, countless tomb robbers took risks and excavated ancient tombs. So far, there are still some tomb robber families in Henan, Shaanxi and other places.This is all documented.

In the rural areas of Henan, Shaanxi and other places, there is often such a slogan: Dig graves and rob graves, make a fortune, and get rich, which shows how attractive these tombs are to people.

The well-known tomb robbery case in modern times is Sun Dianying, a country thief who was originally a bandit and later joined the revolutionary ranks. When Sun Dianying was stationed in Hebei, he dug up the entire Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty.

Cleaning up the Qianlong Emperor’s Yuling and Cixi’s Dingdong Tombs is not enough. Before leaving, they smashed the coffins, destroyed the corpses and discarded the bones, and collected the burial treasures of the most extravagant and extravagant rulers of the Qing Dynasty. .

Poor Emperor Qianlong called himself "Old Man Shiquan" when he was alive. After his death, because of these extraneous things, he ended up with incomplete bones. Cixi was even more miserable. The whole person was stripped naked and abandoned on the ground.

However, what Sun Dianying did was not very secretive, and it was known by the elders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty soon after.

At that time, all the Qing royal families headed by Pu Yi jointly reported Sun Dianying's crime of stealing his ancestor's tomb to Chiang Kai-shek. In order to calm the grievances of these people, Chiang Kai-shek declared that he would investigate the case strictly.

After Sun Dianying realized the seriousness of the matter, in order to protect himself, he gave Chiang Kai-shek the most expensive and priceless Kowloon Sword among the tomb robberies.

At the same time, he gave Luo Meiling the gigantic night pearl stolen from Cixi's tomb, and Song Ziwen also got the golden jade watermelon from Cixi's tomb.

In addition, important government officials such as Kong Xiangxi, He Yingqin, Yan Xishan, etc., all received many valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and this shocking case was left alone.

Just imagine, even Soong Meiling can play with the night pearl taken out of Cixi's mouth, there is nothing to be afraid of.Wang Haoming himself didn't have a good impression of these ancient people.

You said that these emperors and generals are all dead, so you still have to keep these treasures in the ground, although many treasures and antiques were preserved because of the tombs.

But almost all the antiques like calligraphy and paintings rotted in the tombs of these emperors and generals.

"Youngest, you can just keep this thing. If someone wants it, sell it. If no one wants you to keep it for yourself, just treat it as a gift from the fourth brother. No, dead people can't be given as gifts. Geely, just treat it as... just treat it as..."

The fourth child thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a name for it, but he didn't dare to keep the jade for playing, and the good mood of picking up the leak was completely disturbed by Wang Haoming's words.

"Yes, you two are fortunate enough to be born in New China and grew up under the red flag, yet you are still superstitious about this thing. Fourth brother, did you really give it to me?"

Wang Haoming weighed the jade bi in the palm of his hand, but he didn't have such a psychological burden. Wang Haoming reckoned that the aura in these antiques might be left over from playing too much.

He doesn't care if it was played by a dead person or not. After all, this thing is being played by him now. After a few decades, if he dies, this thing still has to be passed on.

"I've given it to you, I've given it to you, let's go back, good luck."

The fourth child kept shaking his hands, as if touching the jade bi was tainted with the bad luck of the dead. He was more anxious than Zhang Gan at this moment, and he must go back to the hotel to wash his hands and burn incense.

"Don't worry, fourth brother. It's been a long time since I came across a ghost market. I don't know if there will be one tomorrow. Let's go back later. Take me to the jade bi stall to have a look."

It was more than seven o'clock in the morning, and the number of pedestrians on Yuqi Street gradually increased. Some shops were ready to open, and most of the stall owners in the ghost market closed their stalls and left. Wang Haoming wanted to try his luck. Take a look at the stall where Laosi buys jade.

It is really possible that these unearthed objects were sold by those tomb robbers.

Of course, they usually have regular customers, just like the antiques in the grassland black market auction that Wang Haoming participated in last time, most of them were collected from tomb robbers from all over the world.
