Chapter 33 The cultural relics that shocked the world
Lin Yuan first sorted out the gold coins and put them together into a pile of fifty.
He first took out the Tang Sancai porcelain vase from the treasure chest. This porcelain vase is about 20 centimeters high and 15 centimeters wide. It has a narrow neck and a wide body. There are three ears connecting the mouth and body of the bottle, which are in the shape of three dragons.
Lin Yuan checked the information and learned that this kind of Tang Sancai porcelain vase is called Longer vase. Among the Tang Sancai cultural relics unearthed so far, there are only double Longer porcelain vases, and no three Longer porcelain vases have been unearthed. He did not know about this Three Longer porcelain vase.
What does it mean, but he thought that since it was the first one, it must be of extraordinary value.
He looked at the porcelain vase carefully and felt that the patterns on it were very beautiful, but he did not dare to hold it in his hands for too long, so he put it aside.
Putting down the porcelain vase, he took out the scroll from the box. When he opened the scroll, he saw that it was not a painting at all, but a text. It could be seen that it was pasted inside the scroll, and the first four
Lin Yuan was stunned by the words.
"Preface to the Lanting Collection!"
Even if he doesn't like calligraphy and doesn't understand antiques, he still knows Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", which is the best running script in the world.
"Could this be an authentic work? It's impossible. It's said that the original work was buried with Li Shimin in Zhaoling." Lin Yuan was shocked and looked at the words repeatedly. He couldn't understand it at all, let alone whether it was an authentic work.
It's still a copy or a fake.
However, according to his understanding, it is said that the authentic artifact is in Zhaoling. He does not think that the authentic artifact fell into the East China Sea and was picked up by the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
Li Shimin loved calligraphy and couldn't put it down for Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection". He thought about how it could appear in the East China Sea and rejected the idea that the calligraphy was authentic.
Although it was not an authentic work, he knew it was a cultural relic, so he carefully put it away and put it aside.
There is also a bronze sword in the box. It is said to be a sword, but it is actually a dagger. It is much longer than a sword. It is 23 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide.
Lin Yuan took out the bronze dagger and found four words engraved on the sword near the hilt [Dan is given to Ci Fei].
"Dan Ziancifei? Person's name?"
Lin Yuan, who was puzzled, went to the Internet to check the information again. First, he looked up the word "cifei" and found out that it was Jing Ke. Cifei was the word for Jing Ke. After searching for a long time, he found out that the word "Dan" refers to Yan.
Crown Prince Dan.
Lin Yuan was shocked: "Could this be the dagger Jing Ke used when he stabbed King Qin? Damn it, this... this..."
Lin Yuan choked up with excitement. He held the dagger in his hand and remembered what Jing Ke said before leaving: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never come back when he is gone." It was so generous and tragic that he felt the same for a moment.
And moved to tears.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, laughed at himself and said with a wry smile: "What am I doing with knitting?"
He wiped off the patina on the dagger. The dagger was still cold and the blade was extremely sharp.
Putting down the dagger, he took out a book from the box. The yellow book cover said "Push Back Picture". There were only three words on the cover. When Lin Yuan saw those three words, he was shocked again.
Written by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng during the Zhenguan period, he had heard of Mingyang's Tuibei Tu, but many of the current versions were tampered with, and no one had ever seen the real "Tuibei Tu".
People have read it, but no one knows the content inside. Now we can only look for clues from various tampered versions, but there is still no conclusion.
Lin Yuan looked at the four cultural relics in front of him and murmured to himself: "These are cultural relics that can shock the world. Even if I don't know whether they are true or false, they are of no use in my hands. I have more than two thousand
Ten thousand gold coins is enough, so why not donate all these cultural relics!"
I couldn't make up my mind for a moment, so I glanced into the box, and there was something else in the box.
He took out the plain blue brocade bag embroidered with peonies and opened it. Inside was a small bag of jade beads. He took it out and checked it out. There were nine of them, each one was crystal clear and the color of each one was unique.
They are all different, and the water patterns inside the beads are also different.
Some are like giant dragons, some spread their wings like phoenixes, some roar like wild lions, and some are as powerful as tigers, with different shapes.
These jade beads are clear and bright, and are very comfortable to hold in your hand. Each one is as big as a thumb.
He didn't know what these jade beads were used for, and he couldn't find much relevant information when he checked the information, but he knew that they must be valuable things. However, he liked these jade beads very much. He felt that the world inside the jade beads was unique and beautiful, so he decided to
Collect these nine jade beads.
After all the items in the treasure box were sorted out, Lin Yuan felt very excited when he saw that the bedroom was filled with treasures.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the bedroom. He was thinking about how to deal with these things. Except for gold coins that could be sold and jade beads for collection, he didn't know how to deal with other treasures, although he could also go to the auction house.
Auction, but after much deliberation, he decided to donate those items to the country.
After all, it is difficult to tell whether these items are genuine or not. Instead of having them authenticated by yourself and having them confiscated by the Cultural Relics Bureau after being discovered, it is better to donate them directly to the Cultural Relics Bureau and say that these were purchased by our ancestors.
After making up his mind, Lin Yuan found the phone number of the Magic City Cultural Relics Bureau on the Internet.
"Hello, is this the Cultural Relics Bureau?" Lin Yuan said with a trembling voice.
"This is the Cultural Relics Bureau. Is there anything wrong, sir?"
"That's it. I have a few things handed down from my ancestors at home. I don't know if they are real or fake. I would like to ask experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau to come to my house for appraisal. If they are genuine, I will donate them to the Cultural Relics Bureau free of charge."
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he swallowed, thinking that it would be better if they didn't think he was crazy. After all, there are not many people who can donate cultural relics for free these days.
He even thought about what the expressions of those experts would be like after they came to identify it and found that it was all true.
"Okay, please tell me the address of your home. I will report the details here. What are the cultural relics in your home?"
Lin Yuan's hand holding the mobile phone trembled. He looked at the things on the ground, coughed slightly, and whispered with a slight guilt: "Well, there is a picture of "Preface to the Lanting Collection", and there is a book called "The Preface to the Lanting Collection".
"Tui Bei Tu", there is a Tang Sancai porcelain vase with three dragon ears, and a bronze dagger. There is a mark on the dagger, which says "Dan is given to Ci Fei". I don't know if it is the dagger Jing Ke used to assassinate the King of Qin.
, just these four.”
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, there was silence on the phone for a long time.
"Um, are you still there? Hello, Moses, Moses, hello...why are you not talking?"
At this time, someone from the other side said loudly: "What's your surname, sir?"
"Surname Lin."
"Mr. Lin, please tell me the detailed address of your home. I will record it and report it immediately. I will go to your home right away."
"Okay, my home address is..."
Lin Yuan told the other party the address, and then the other party told Lin Yuan not to go out and wait at home.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He sat blankly on the bed, dazed for a while, and then looked at the cultural relics on the ground.
"Oh, I have to put away the gold coins and jade beads quickly."
He put the gold coins back into the box, then put a bag of jade beads inside, placed it at the very back of the wardrobe, and covered it with clothes.
After putting them away, he went to the restaurant to pour a glass of water and took a big sip. Looking at the cultural relics made his mouth dry.
After drinking the water, he sat down in the living room and waited for the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau to arrive. At this time, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't tell what he was feeling. He was excited and panicked, as if he was standing on a bungee jumping platform with his feet up.
Halfway to the edge of the bungee jumping platform, it feels like you can fall off if you take one step forward.
Time passed by, and he looked at the clock in the living room. Twenty minutes had passed.
Lin Yuan crossed his legs, feeling extremely nervous, and his palms were all sweaty.
Five minutes later, a rapid knock on the door startled Lin Yuan. He stood up suddenly, walked to the door, and asked, "Who is it?"
"It belongs to the Cultural Relics Bureau, is it Mr. Lin's home?"
