After a pause, the Jade King continued: "but I have some doubts. Before emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhang Qian to go to the western regions, Hetian jade was not introduced into the Han Dynasty and the pre Qin period. Where did this jade pendant come from? There is also the carving process of this jade pendant. Although there are traces of hairy carving, it is better than blue. Even I can't see the specific carving process. What's more curious is that the ancient jade shapes recorded in this ancient sheepskin book are all ancient jade with great origins, and the inheritance sequence is the important sacrificial vessels at that time, that is, the ritual vessels that can only be used by the national monarch. "
"The fact that Mr. Xiao's jade pendant can appear in the ancient books of sheepskin proves that it's the right thing to start from the big head. However, it's only later that it was exiled among the people and finally passed on to Mr. Xiao. As far as this is concerned, Mr. Xiao should be happy. After all, this kind of ancient jade is very valuable."
Hearing the emperor's consolation, Lin Xi suddenly showed a far fetched bitter smile: "I know what the old man said, but the origin of the jade pendant is really important to me... Alas!"
Seeing Lin Xi's dejected appearance, Zhou zhe rolled his eyes and said, "don't worry about him, old man. He's such a bad temper. Just wait for him to figure it out."
Jiang agreed with him and said: "yes, uncle, my boss has this temper and gets into a dead end. Unless he comes out by himself, no one will come back. We don't care about him."
With a noncommittal smile, the Jade King continued: "in fact, if you're not polite, I've been studying jade for so many years, and I still know something about ancient jade. If you're interested, I can say something about it." Although I don't know how important this jade pendant is to you, my years of research on jade can help me
At that time, Lin Xi's eyes suddenly brightened. Just as yutianwang said, he was the top jade expert in China. Even if he could not tell the origin of the jade pendant, he must have many unique opinions. From those unique opinions, we can find out the origin of the jade pendant.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi suddenly became serious and asked sincerely, "please teach me."
Seeing Lin Xi's sincere appearance, Yu Tianwang also smiles. He says with a smile, "it's not worthy to give advice. It's just experience. Since I'm interested in it, why should I hide it?"
"Where can I start?... well, I think I know the texture and value of this jade pendant. It's just adding to the cake, so I'll mainly talk about the exotic animals on the jade pendant."
At this point, the jade king suddenly pointed to the jade pendant on the ancient book of sheepskin, and then continued: "little gentleman, please see, the strange beast carved on the jade pendant is lifelike, ferocious but not angry, and the wings behind it want to fly. If I read it correctly, this strange beast should be the legendary vermilion."
"Vermilion bird?"
"It's really zhuniao. Maybe the name of zhuniao is a little strange, but its alias is Zhuque. I think Mr. Xiao must know it."
Lin Xi nodded: "I really know that rosefinch is the four spirits of heaven in ancient Chinese Mythology (the other three spirits are green dragon, white tiger and Xuanwu), which originated from the ancient ancestors' worship of stars. In the pre Qin period, it was thought that it could lead the soul of the dead to rise to heaven, so it was thought that it could give people eternal life."
When he heard Lin Xi's words, the Jade King was immediately in front of his eyes and couldn't help praising him: "if you don't want to beat me, I don't only know geomantic omen, but also study ancient Chinese classics. It's really rare."
Without waiting for Lin Xi to answer, Zhou zhe said, "what research? He majored in history in University. These are all his required courses."
Not angry glared at Zhou Zhe, Lin Xi continued to smile: "to tell you the truth, I have checked the origin of this strange beast before, but never found out the clue, so I didn't pay much attention to it later. What's special about this strange beast?"
Pointing to the ancient book of sheepskin again, yutianwang said with a smile: "this vermilion bird is really special, because it is neither vermilion nor vermilion bird. To be more precise, it should be Phoenix. You see, the shape of these two jade pendants is actually the shape of Phoenix Yu Fei."
followed the direction as like as two peas. Lin Xi once again fell on his old sheep's skin. He went to see the shape of the two Kuai Yupei, but he never saw any clue. Because two pieces of jade pattern were identical.
"In the Zhou Culture of the pre Qin Dynasty, people all worshiped the vermilion bird, and thought that the vermilion bird was the orthodox Phoenix, and that the Phoenix was born out of the original shape of the vermilion bird. However, both the vermilion bird and the Phoenix were still of the same family, which were both divine beasts symbolizing auspiciousness and guiding people to live forever. Before the pre Qin Dynasty, the Phoenix was actually divided into male and female, the male was called the Phoenix, and the female was called the Phoenix The reason why there is no distinction between male and female is that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the dragon and Phoenix have become the symbols of the imperial family, so they have been feminized as a whole. "
At this time, Jiang Yibin suddenly jumped out and said excitedly, "I know this. I heard a story about" the flute leading the Phoenix "when I was a child, and I still remember it now."
Seeing that Jiang was as excited as a child, yutianwang took the tea and blew it. After tasting it, he said with a smile, "what story can make you happy like this? If you don't tell it, I'll just have a rest... It's easy to get tired when you get old."It's said that in the spring and Autumn period, Duke mu of Qin had a daughter named Nongyu. She was extremely beautiful, intelligent, and fond of music. She was especially good at playing the Sheng. She played the Yu Sheng like a Phoenix. So Duke mu of Qin built a Phoenix Tower in the palace for her to live in, and in front of the building she also built a Phoenix Tower There is a high platform called Fengtai. "
"Duke mu of Qin wanted to choose a son-in-law for his daughter. Nongyu swore that he must choose a person who is good at playing the Sheng. Mu Gong sent people to look around for people who are good at playing the Sheng, but they couldn't find a suitable one. Finally one day, Lane Yu dreamed of a beautiful man and said, "I am the master of Taihua mountain. The emperor of heaven ordered me to marry you."
"In order to prove himself, that boy still plays the first lane of Hua Shan Yin with Yu Sheng. After long Yu wakes up, he tells Mu Gong the scene in his dream. Mu Gong then sends Meng Ming, the minister, to visit Hua Shan. Meng Ming finds a man who is good at playing Xiao Sheng in Hua Shan. His name is Xiao Shi, and then he takes him back with him."
