My system is not decent

From the overall point of view, this jade monkey is synonymous with no expense spared.

On the surface of about ten centimeters, there is a gap between the three monkeys, making it quite artistic to appreciate from all angles.

Coupled with the auspicious meaning, this must be a rare ornamental display.

It can be said that each of these beast-shaped jade wares is not simple.

What about other types of jade?After putting away those animal-shaped jade objects, Chen Wenzhe looked at other fragments of jade objects, the most conspicuous of which was a white jade belt.

The jade belt is a kind of belt inlaid with several or even ten pieces of flat jade plates, which is a symbol of ancient official grade.

Jade belts are square, rectangular, peach-shaped, etc.

Jade belts, often carved with various patterns on the surface, first appeared in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and continued to be used until the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty abolished the jade belt system.

The jade belt in front of Chen Wenzhe and a set of jade plates are all made of white jade.

The jade material is as white as fat, warm and thick.

The surface of the jade belt is smooth and smooth without grain.

The overall jade quality is good, the texture is dense, and the part is grayish white.

And this kind of colored jade, needless to say, is unearthed.

This jade belt consists of seven belt plates, six peach-shaped bundles, four strip-shaped bundles, and one head and one tail.

The back of the jade belt is drilled with an elephant trunk for hanging.

Jade belt boards are also called belt spans, ranging from 13 to 26 pieces.

The material and quantity are different according to the grade, and there are strict regulations.

Jade belt boards are noble in character and extravagant in consumption, and were mostly used by nobles in ancient China.

Long in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and perfected in Zhu Ming Dynasty, the identity of the user is extremely high.

Liang Guojiang Yan of the Southern Dynasties wrote "Jiang Wentong Ji": "Fortunately, I was lucky to have a colorful fan, and I went in and out of the jade belt and Qishen".

In the Tang Dynasty, which was fashionable and luxurious, jade belt boards were mostly decorated with the method of flat pressing the ground and raising the sun.

Until the Song and Yuan Dynasties, especially since the Yuan Dynasty, jade belt boards began to use a large number of multi-layered carved patterns, and incorporated many exotic style elements.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were very strict regulations on the use of jade belt plates, and non-princes and princes were not allowed to wear them.

According to records, in the Ming Dynasty, jade belts were limited to emperors, vassal kings, dukes, marquises, uncles, sons-in-law and wives who were honored for meritorious service.

The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to jade belts, and jade belts for python robes were not only the attire of dignitaries, but also treasures to collect.

"History of the Ming Palace" says that the jade belt is light in winter, exquisite in summer, and jade belt with top makeup in March and September.

The so-called Linglong refers to the jade belt with transparent patterns.

This group of plain white jade belt plates may have been used on the so-called plain jade belts, which were worn by the upper-class nobles in the Ming Dynasty.

The jade belt is obviously a symbol of status, while the other jade ruyi is a symbol of wealth.

Putting down the jade belt, Chen Wenzhe casually picked up another jade ruyi, which was even bigger with a length of 43.2cm.

If this kind of thing goes up for auction, it will sell for at least 500 million.

This is because Yu Ruyi's utensils are relatively simple, after all, this thing is very common in China.

Although this piece of jade is a common item in Yu Ruyi, its craftsmanship is not ordinary at all.

Not to mention other things, but the middle part of this Ruyi handle is shallowly covered with thousands of valleys and thousands of rocks.

In particular, a vigorous ancient pine towers into the sky, and under the pine stands an old man with a beard, holding a wishful handle on his shoulder.

This corresponds to the God of Prosperity among the three auspicious gods spread by Chinese Taoism. Holding Ruyi in your hand means high-ranking officials and generous salary.

"Historical Records Tianguan Shu" said: Wenchang Palace: one is the general, the other is the second general, the third is the noble minister, the fourth is the command, the fifth is the command, and the sixth is the post.

Silu, that is, the star of fame and fortune.

After the imperial examination system came into being in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Lu Xing became the ruler of the fate of scholars, and all scholars in the world worshiped him.

The bottom of Ruyi is shallow and withered, a short fairy stands under the pine, with long hair and long robes, smiling Yanyan, with both hands stretched out to the golden pheasant in front of him, intending to embrace it.

The origin of lucky stars is very early. It is said that dwarves were born in Daozhou in Tang Dynasty, and they were selected as playthings for the imperial court over the years.

After Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty took office, Yangcheng, the governor of Daozhou, abolished this rule and refused the emperor's request to recruit dwarfs.

The meaning of blessing is very broad, including all good wishes and goals in secular life.

The so-called auspiciousness of the Chinese people mostly refers to blessings;

Therefore, auspiciousness can be interpreted as blessing: "Zi Lin" says: Zhenxiang also means blessing.

"Fengjiao Zhan" said: "Fu sees Xiangxiang first."

Ruyi is a special object in Chinese culture. It is popular because of its pleasing name. It has an itchy back and cannot be touched by the hands. It can be used for scratching, so it gets its name.

This thing is also known as holding the king, holding a friend or talking handle, and Sanskrit is the free translation of Analaw.

The shape of the wishful head is like a heart, like a cloud, like a mushroom, and the long handle is curved, and it is pleasing to the eye when you hold it.

Beside the seat everywhere, rate Chen Ruyichang, this is a poem written by Emperor Qianlong in those days.

In the Qing Dynasty, Ruyi basically got rid of its practical use, and gradually turned into an art display, becoming a symbol of auspiciousness.

To show auspiciousness and satisfaction, and to carry good wishes such as praying for blessings and auspiciousness.

It has become an indispensable thing for morning congratulations, birthday celebrations and celebrations.

On the days of the emperor's enthronement, wedding, New Year's Day, longevity and other festivals, the most beautiful and exquisite Ruyi in the world were brought to the court one after another to bring auspiciousness.

From time to time, there is a poem that "all peppers and relatives tend to the jewelry market, and the price is priceless for a moment".

In the imperial palace, the throne, couch, eucalyptus and other aspects are indispensable to the shape of Ruyi, highlighting the value of its furnishings and curiosities.

For example, Margarney, the British envoy, recorded in "The Interview of the British Envoy of Qianlong" that year: Every palace or house that passes through must have a throne, and beside the throne, there must be a wishful person.

In the Yongzheng Dynasty, the wishful tradition, which means doing whatever you want, prevailed again.

Yongzheng himself was also very fond of ruyi, and liked to make presents and gifts, and since then they have become common imperial utensils.

Because of the great freedom in the selection of materials, artisans can often give full play to their endless creative ideas.

They present all kinds of auspicious and auspicious meanings in various shapes and decorations.

It is not difficult to find images of Ruyi being held in the hands of the emperor in the old collections of palace calligraphy and paintings of the Qing Palace.

Both Yongqian and his son once held the wishful posture in their portraits.

For example, the axis of "Yinzhen's Pleasure Picture" in the Palace Museum, the axis of Yongzheng Concubine's "Pleasure Picture", the horizontal axis of "Emperor Qianlong's Peacock Viewing the Screen", and the page of "Hongli Ancient Costume Pleasure Picture" painted by Lang Shining are the best. illustration.

This Ruyi handle has a graceful and dignified shape, gentle and smooth curves, a rigorous and harmonious structure, and the back is also hollowed out. The craftsmanship is quite difficult.

The shape of the watch is a typical Qianlong court style, and the three immortals Zhu Fu, Lu, and Shou carry auspiciousness, making it even more precious.

Therefore, compared with countless jade ruyis in history, this jade ruyi in Chen Wenzhe's hand is very ordinary.

However, purely in terms of value, this jade ruyi is not ordinary, it can even be said to be very precious.

It is a pity that compared with jade wares of other periods, the number of jade wares in the Yuan Dynasty is still too small. Just like such a fine jade Ruyi, it is not from the Yuan Dynasty, but from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
