Chapter 242 Emperor Wen's Seal
Yu Yao smiled wryly, and said to himself that you still don't know that the missing corner of this little jade seal was originally in my hands!

But Cai Pengxi continued to ask, "How did you get this little jade? The other party didn't value it so much, so they just sold it like this?"

"Old man, think about it, what is the first thing people think of when they see this kind of jade?" Yu Yao asked back.

"Well, first of all, if you don't know it, it will often be attributed to the local jade species."

"Isn't that what it is? However, this little jade man has not been circulated in the market. It was just unearthed in the Central Plains Province, and it was obtained by a shoveler. I bought it from him!"

"No wonder! I have been investigating this kind of jade for a long time, but I found nothing!"

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Old man, there is one more thing I should tell you. Fortunately, I haven't signed a confidentiality agreement with the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau yet, they just expropriated my things."

Then, Yu Yao told about the missing piece of jade.

The small jade seal in Lang Xiankun's old collection can actually match the small jade block, and it should be said that Cai Pengxi was passed down orally in local characters.

This can be regarded as their "inside the Ghost Eye Sect", and Cai Pengxi will definitely not spread it to the outside world.

"What?" Cai Pengxi was startled at first, and then pondered, "This is not a bad thing. The power of the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau must be bigger and wider than ours."

"Yes, and I'm still holding this little jade figure in my hand. We can check it out, and it's not contradictory. That's why I agreed."

Cai Pengxi nodded, "Since we found two pieces now, there might be a third one..."

"This? It's best to discover new things again. But I feel. The hope is slim! Otherwise we wouldn't have heard of it, and they wouldn't cherish it so much."

Cai Pengxi said, "Some things are deeply hidden among the people. Although there are certainly not many, it is not necessarily that there will be none."

Yu Yao thought to himself, this also makes sense.For example, how many people know about the "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" yuan blue and white pot in the secret treasure of Ghost Eye Gate?

"Let's meet at any time, there is no rush." ​​Cai Pengxi took a sip of tea, "Don't leave at noon, stay for dinner."

"I don't have a meal at all, just right." Yu Yao replied, "By the way, how is Cai Zong recently?"

"The boss?"

"Your grandson, isn't he the art director of Han Tang?"

"I forgot to mention it if you didn't mention it. I have to thank you. This kid has indeed changed. At least he cares more about me." Cai Pengxi showed a warm smile, "He has gone to Myanmar, otherwise I called him."

"Go at this time, Jade Fair?"

The Burmese Jade Fair is held twice this year, once in the summer, and the winter one is about to open, also in Nay Pyi Taw, the capital of Myanmar.

"The public offering, someone from their company participated in it, and now it's basically clear materials, and the tools are so advanced, there's not much element of gambling with stones. He's on vacation, and it's purely private, to find some hoarded old materials."

"I heard that personal material is not easy to get out of customs!"

"The owner of the goods has their own way. After they are optimistic about the goods here, they will be responsible for passing the customs, and then pay for the goods in Huaxia." Cai Pengxi said, shaking his hand, "By the way, this kid gave me one before leaving. It happens to be a jade seal too! Take a look at it together, it’s really worth discussing.”

"it is good."

Cai Pengxi put away the jade box and left the living room, and Yu Yao also put away the little jade man.

When he came back, Cai Pengxi took another exquisite brocade box, which was much bigger than the jade box.

Yu Yao opened it and saw that the texture was bright yellow jade, carved into a seal.

"Yellow wax stone?" Yu Yao glanced at it twice, then said something casually.

"Yes, it is basically the same as the yellow wax stone of Hezhou jade in Guangxi province, and more delicate than the yellow dragon jade in Yunnan province." Cai Pengxi replied.

Yellow wax stone produced in Hezhou, Guangxi Province, together with similar jade of other colors, such as lychee jelly, is now named Hezhou jade.The main component of yellow wax stone is silica, that is, the base of quartz, which is similar to the composition of yellow dragon jade from Yunnan Province.

However, the history of Hezhou jade yellow wax stone is much earlier than that of Huang Longyu, at least in the Ming Dynasty; and Huang Longyu was discovered in the early 21st century, because the composition is basically yellow wax stone, and it was produced in Longling. It's called Huanglongyu.

Yu Yao nodded, and began to pick up the square seal to look at it carefully.

It turns out that this is not a seal, but a seal!

The square base has a base of a little over three centimeters and a height of about three centimeters. It is carved with a coiled dragon button. The dragon head is raised slightly. On the coiled body, the scales and dragon tail are carved extremely finely.

Moreover, this Fang Yuxi, judging from the age, was much earlier than the Ming Dynasty.After Yu Yao took a closer look, he felt that the year could reach the Western Han Dynasty!
How could it be possible to use yellow wax stones to make jade seals in the Han Dynasty?

Moreover, Yu Yao flipped through the printed text, Xiaozhuan, which were separated by matts.

Wendi Xinxi!

Ok?This is even more wrong!
Before Qin Shihuang, the private seals of ordinary people with flat heads could also be called seals. After Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, the seal became a special reference, and only the emperor's seal was.

When Qin Shihuang was in power, there was mainly one party that passed on the national jade seal; in the Western Han Dynasty, in addition to the one that passed on the national jade seal, there were other six parties: the emperor's seal, the emperor's line seal, the emperor's letter seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's line seal, and the emperor's letter Xi.

Known as the "Seven Seals".

Different seals have different purposes, such as the emperor's letter seal, which was used by the emperor to recruit and dispatch civil servants and generals.

If this yellow wax stone jade seal is the emperor's letter seal of the Western Han Dynasty, then there is only one Hanwen Emperor in the Western Han Dynasty, and that is Liu Heng, the son of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

However, it is impossible for Hanwen Emperor Liu Heng's emperor letter seal to carry the word "Wendi"!
Because Emperor Hanwen is Liu Heng's posthumous title.In fact, his posthumous title was "Emperor Xiaowen", but the word filial piety was always in front of the posthumous title of emperors in the Han Dynasty, so it was generally omitted.

In the history of China, there have been hundreds of emperors.Nowadays, in addition to the name, the appellation is generally inseparable from three categories: year name, temple name, and posthumous name.

Qianlong is the year name; Tang Taizong is the temple name; Han Wendi is the posthumous name.

Among them, the posthumous name is the name given by the emperor by later generations; the temple name is the name enshrined in the Taimiao, which is the name on the tablet.These two kinds will only exist when they die.

The year name is the chronological name used after ascending the throne.When the emperor was alive, he could only know his own year number.

Therefore, although this seal is "Wendi Xinxi", and the year can reach the Western Han Dynasty, it cannot be the jade seal of Han Wendi.

Yu Yao put down the jade seal, stood up, lit a cigarette, "Master, this is really worth discussing."

Cai Pengxi smiled, "This boy said that there is a seal in my name, and it is the most suitable gift for me, but he didn't elaborate on how he got it. However, in my opinion, it is definitely from the Western Han Dynasty!"

"That's right, it's something from the Western Han Dynasty." Yu Yao nodded.
