My system is not decent

Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that he only found a piece of jade from the Qing Dynasty before, and after various confirmations, there was no more.

Unexpectedly, now I picked up one, and it was a seemingly ordinary topaz paperweight, but it turned out to be the top treasure of the Qing Palace.

He must have read it right before, so he cleaned the cabin again.

After a little questioning, he really guessed.

"Boss, these are salvaged from another cabin. According to the analysis of some new professionals, this hull does not seem to be from the Song Dynasty, nor does it seem to be from the Ming Dynasty. Instead, it looks like a sunken ship from the Qing Dynasty."

Realizing that Chen Wenzhe was finally distracted by other things, Gao Qijing hurriedly said.

"The hull we salvaged out of the water as a whole?"

Chen Wenzhe glanced at Gao Qijing, then looked to the side, and sure enough, there were more jade articles piled up here.

"No, it's the shipwreck we salvaged piecemeal on the bottom of the sea over there!" Gao Qijing said with a smile.

It is not easy to salvage a sunken ship as a whole, but it is relatively easy to salvage a half of the wreck as a whole.

The most important thing is that their equipment is complete and advanced.

Coupled with their large number of people and boats, it is natural that they can do everything conveniently and quickly.

"This is a windfall!"

Chen Wenzhe looked at a large pile of jade wares with great joy. Judging from the style, they were indeed court jade wares from the Qing Dynasty.

This time out of the water, one piece of porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty was found, and other things from the Song Dynasty and the Warring States Period were found, especially jade wares from the Yuan Dynasty.

Now the fine works of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are also delivered to the door.

Especially the jade wares of the Qing Dynasty, it is not easy to see them at first glance.

Among the huge pile, the most conspicuous ones are a pair of jade-like topaz antique wares.

This is another pair of topaz withered and carved, and it seems that it is not a pure jade bi, because there are carved patterns like Gui in the middle.

Guibi?Chen Wenzhe felt a little strange.

This topaz carved Guibi is not small, reaching 14.5cm in length.

The whole vessel is made of withered precious topaz. The material is huge but has no flaws. The jade is as moist as fat, clean and delicate, and the color is even and rich.

There is a red skin on the top, which is ingeniously designed and good luck.

Rareness is the most precious thing. Among the antique jade wares of the courts of Ming and Qing Dynasties, topaz was rarely seen, so it can be compared with suet jade.

Moreover, this piece is carved with a medium color, and the grade reaches steamed chestnut yellow, which is particularly rare.

Cao Pi, Emperor Wendi of Wei Dynasty, wrote in the "Book of Dali with Zhong": "I saw a jade book called beautiful jade, white as cut fat, black like pure lacquer, red like a cockscomb, yellow bridle steamed chestnut, this is steamed chestnut to compare the quality of topaz;

According to Cao Zhao's "Ge Gu Yao Lun" in the Ming Dynasty, topaz is as expensive as millet, which is called sweet yellow;

Gao Lian, a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, wrote in "Zunsheng Bajian.On the note of Yan Xianqing's appreciation."On Ancient Jade Ware" mentions: "Jade is dominated by sweet yellow, followed by mutton fat."Yellow is the middle color, and it is not easy to get, and white is the partial color, because it is sometimes there.Nowadays, yellow is cheap and white is expensive, so it is rare to see.

What is a neutral color?The middle is the middle of the four directions, that is, it is located in the middle, which is related to the view of the five elements, and the middle is yellow.

Yellow is in the center, which is also the color of the earth, while white is on one side, representing the west.

He believes that steamed chestnut color is good, burnt yellow is the worst, and sweet green color is like new willow, which is not close to it.

The full body of this vessel is really yellow, and it is the best among topaz, and it cannot be made without imperial jade.

This object is in the shape of guibi overlapping up and down, and it looks like a ritual vessel no matter how you look at it.

In the traditional jade system, ritual jade occupies a very important position.

"Zhou Ritual" states: Use jade as the six vessels, honor the four directions of heaven and earth, honor the sky with blue jade, honor the earth with yellow cong, honor the east with green jade, honor the south with red chapters, honor the west with white amber, and honor the north with Xuanhuang.

These six vessels are the core of ancient Chinese etiquette jade wares, which are related to national affairs and are the time when the rulers of all dynasties enacted etiquette laws.Issues that need to be taken seriously.

This is a piece of jade bi and gui overlapped and carved. So what is gui?

Gui is also known as Gui, a jade article used in ancient sacrifices and court meetings.

It is a thing of Ruixin in ancient times, and it is widely used as a jade for pilgrimage etiquette to mark the rank status.

"Zhou Li·Chunguan·Dianrui": The public executive Huangui... met the king with the pilgrimage.

The central part of Gui is connected with jade bi, which comes from "Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji Jade Man": Gui Bi is five inches long to worship the sun, moon and stars.

The current interpretation reads: a gui with a bi as the bottom, the gui is five inches long and the bi is six inches long.

How precious this thing is, you can see how famous it is in ancient history.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty": Guibi is a ritual vessel used to sacrifice to heaven and earth.

Zheng Xuan's commentary quotes Zheng Sinong's saying: See the king with Guibi.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Ming Emperor Ji": Hold Guibi in person, worship heaven and earth respectfully.

Ming Chen Jiru's "Da Sima Festival Huan Yuan Gong (Yuan Keli)'s Family Temple Records": Ding Yi asks, welcomes God Gui Bi receives.

"New Book of Tang·Chen Zi'ang's Biography and Praise": Zi'ang encourages him with the king's art, but he is not used by women to humiliate him.

"Li Xu · Zhang Pu's Inscription on Mi Wu's Sacrificial Wine": The calligraphy and painting on this stele are indulgent and slanted, with little rules, and they are written by a small group.At the same time, it is mixed with stone carvings, like rubble in Guibi.

This piece of guibi, figuratively speaking, is a pointed gui with the center and ground. It is in the shape of a rectangular strip with a sharp triangular shape at the top.

The upper part of the front is decorated with withered stars and stars in shallow relief, the lower part is decorated with withered sea water and river cliffs, and the back is plain.

The most important decorations on it are: the decorations of stars and mountains.

what is this?This is a group corresponding to the top and bottom of the twelve chapter patterns.

According to historical records, the emperor's mianfu has served twelve chapters since Emperor Shun.

After that, the emperors all inherited the ancient law, which has not changed for thousands of years.

The sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the dragons, the Chinese insects, the Zongyi, the algae, the fire, the vermicelli, the fu, and the fu, the twelve ancient images, were arranged symmetrically in two groups.

Each of the twelve chapters has a special pattern and a symbol.

Among them, the sun (with a three-legged bird cut inside), the moon (with a jade rabbit cut inside), and the stars (usually made into three-star bead) represent the three lights shining, symbolizing the emperor's grace to shine in all directions;

The mountain takes its stable foundation; the dragon takes its adaptability, and it is also a unique symbol of honor for the emperor;

And Huachong is a pheasant bird, whichever has its literary talent;

The image of Zong Yi is in the shape of a tiger and a toad, symbolizing the emperor's virtue of loyalty and filial piety;

Algae is an aquatic plant, which means clean;

Fire is in the shape of flame, whichever is brighter;

Flour rice is white rice, which symbolizes that the emperor attaches great importance to agriculture and mulberry and can nourish the people;

Fu is in the shape of an axe, taking its decisive will;

Fu is the shape of the two characters for "ji", representing the emperor's ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Such a jade must have a dragon, so there is no Chilong on this jade.

On both sides of the intersection of Gui and Bi, there is a volume of Chilong through each, and the outline is outlined with Yin lines, which is exquisite and gorgeous.

On the left and right sides of the biscuit, there is a pair of spirit bats with round eyes and pointed heads, and their wings are stretched. The details of the wings are outlined with a few thin lines, as if they are about to fly.

The outline of the lower part of the wall reveals the turbulent sea waves pattern, which is connected with the sea water river cliff pattern at the bottom of Gui.
