Chapter 262 Chuan Guoyu Seal, He's Bi
Wu Chen immediately interjected, "It wasn't possible at the time, and future generations might not be able to. And we don't know how big this piece of jade itself is? How much is left after it is made into the Jade Seal of Chuanguo? If the 28 constellations used are from Chuanguo There are so many pieces of jade materials for jade seals, there must be more materials that are bigger than them!"

Without waiting for Yu Yao to intervene, Wu Chen said again, "If the small jade piece in the Guqin paperweight is made of the same material as the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, there are roughly two possibilities. First, it may be a corner that was dropped by the Queen Mother when Wang Mang usurped the throne." ..."

Yu Yao couldn't help interrupting at this time, "Your conjecture is not bold, it's too violent! Let's just say number two!"

"Anything is possible. This small piece of jade looks like a corner of a cube." Wu Chen smiled, "However, the second possibility is indeed greater. The remaining materials of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom will definitely not be used indiscriminately, except for this 28 Constellations, the larger ones, probably will be made into something according to the shape. This small piece of jade may be a corner of something."

Yu Yao nodded, "This may be reliable."

Yu Yao didn't say anything about Little Seal and Little Jade Man before he finished reading the stuff.However, the second possibility of Wu Chen's analysis has been confirmed, which is the corner of a small seal.This small seal is not big, so it is not impossible that it may be a remnant of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

At this time, Wu Chen looked at Yu Yao, "I explained your first question, what about the second?"

"Secondly, according to the official history, the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom should be carved from Lantian jade; according to unofficial history and legends, it was carved from Heshibi. But this small piece of jade, I don't know what kind of jade it is, like an 'extraterrestrial visitor'."

Wu Chen shook his head, "There are official histories, it's best not to believe them."

Yang Sihai quickly interjected, "Hey? How can you say that? Although the official history is all written by later generations, a considerable part of it is still very reliable."

Wu Chen explained, "I've been in this business for a long time. I've seen a lot of official history, and I've seen a lot of real objects. Isn't it rare that official history is overthrown by archaeological relics? I don't agree with the so-called Lantian jade in terms of jade quality; Jade quality, color, and feel are incomparable with Hetian jade. Hetian jade is used for Chuanguo Yuxi, and Lantian jade is not used! Moreover, after the Qin Dynasty, the use of Lantian jade decreased, and Hetian jade increased. If Chuan Guo Yuxi is Lantian Jade, how could such a situation happen?"

Wu Chen said a lot in one breath.Many historical experts don't really understand the quality of jade. To be honest, if you compare a piece of Lantian jade with a piece of Hetian jade, you may really have such an idea.

The use of this jade material has indeed undergone a process of evolution. For example, the Hongshan Culture jade is mainly Xiuyan old jade, which is actually similar to Hetian jade; the Liangzhu Culture mainly uses Meiling jade; For ritual vessels, Dushan jade is used relatively more.

At that time, the scope of activities and mining capacity were limited, and most of them were based on nearby materials.

From the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Hetian jade was used, although not many, mainly small pieces.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hetian jade was used more, and it was basically during this period that Lantian jade was developed and utilized on a large scale.At that time, Lantian was in the territory of Qin State, so Qin State naturally made the most use of Lantian jade.

In fact, there is a very important saying about the jade material of Chuanguo Yuxi, which is "water beryl".Some experts deduce that it is Lantian jade.The texture of Lantian jade is mainly serpentine, many of which are turquoise, which can match "Shui Cang".

However, the ancients used concise words and rich meanings. "Shuicang" does not necessarily refer to color.

And even if it refers to the color, the meaning of blue is not only green, but also gray and white, and it also means sky or sky.

If Shui Cang is interpreted as a transparent sky, it can even be matched with the small blue-white jade piece Yu Yao found.

After hearing Wu Chen's words, Yu Yao pondered for a while, but did not answer.

Wu Chen said again, "Just now you said He's Bi, what kind of jade is He's Bi? No one knows! Because He's Bi and Chuanguo Yuxi are the same, and they are nowhere to be found! However, since Qin Shihuang got the He's Bi Bi, the possibility of using it to make jade seals is extremely high. Qin Shihuang thought about engraving jade seals passed on from generation to generation, and it is best to be unique. How could it be possible to use Lantian jade that other people can afford?"

Yu Yao nodded, "Some experts don't agree with the statement that Chuan Guo's jade seal is made of He's Bi. It's just that the jade seal is thin and has holes, so it can't be made into a jade seal. However, Huaxia's characters are very special, with multiple meanings in one word, and sometimes even special The meaning of the word is also there. This bi, does not necessarily refer to the shape of the jade bi."

"We finally got together! The so-called Cangbi Litian, this bi is just a piece of jade, but it is not impossible to borrow the special meaning of the ritual vessel." Wu Chen smiled.

Yu Yao slapped his thigh, "No wonder Bureau Yang personally arrested this case! It turns out that this case is to track down Chuan Guoxi and He Shibi!"

Yang Sihai nodded, "The folks don't know how many people have been investigating. It is said that Tan Rusu's father also wanted to do this at the end of the Qing Dynasty more than 100 years ago, and he has already gained something."

"By the way, has this little jade block been tested?" Yu Yao suddenly remembered.

"The result has come out. Simply put, the mineral composition contained is very clear, but the structure is very special. Didn't you just say 'extraterrestrial visitor'? The opinion of experts is exactly the same! A special meteorite is not the original earth. It's a product of production, so you can't recognize it, and it's normal."

"what?!"

Yu Yao was just talking casually just now.

Yang Sihai smiled, "The expert's conclusion may not be [-]% correct, but our detection methods are still very advanced."

Yu Yao settled down, "However, although it was unexpected, it can explain many doubts before!"

Yang Sihai nodded, "Tell me about it."

"He's Bi was obtained by Bian He from the Chu Mountain and presented to the King of Chu. As a result, the masters around the King of Chu couldn't identify it. Although it was only a piece of jade at that time, there were many jade masters around the King of Chu who opened it. What? How can you not recognize it? It shows that its appearance is very special. This is one of them.”

"Secondly, from ancient times to the present, no special jade materials have been produced in Chu, and those that were used at that time are known now; after the jade materials were discovered at that time, how could it attract such large-scale attention? And so A piece of jade that is valued is still not known what it is! It is not a jade produced on the earth, so it can be explained."

"Thirdly, if such a piece of jade that has received much attention and cherishment is made into a jade bi, where will the small cylinder dug out in the middle and the jade material cut off from other parts go? It is only about getting harmony from the jade. Choi, but not the carving process. Therefore, He Choi is not a jade bi, but a piece of jade that was cut out of the raw material!"
