The texture was very transparent, the color was green and blue, and it was warm and lustrous. The jade seal, which looked like it was radiating the brilliance of a hundred taels, said hello repeatedly. Not only that, from the red glow on his face, the slight trembling all over his body, and the blue veins popping up on the back of his hands, you can tell how excited he is at this moment. "The Jade Seal of the Kingdom, is this really the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?" Liu Sizhe happened to come to his grandfather's house for something today. He did not expect to encounter such a treasure, which made him feel like he was in a dream. "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Liu Qinshu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look at this square jade seal, which is green and blue in color, four inches in diameter, with five dragons on top and a New York on it. On the front is engraved with Li Si's calligraphy, 'Ordered by Heaven, both "Shou Yongchang's eight seal characters, isn't this true?" Wu Ke also nodded and said: "Look, one corner of this square jade seal is also inlaid with gold. This is also in line with the historical records of the jade seal passed down from the country, and the color of the gold is It looks very old, and I think this is in line with the characteristics of its age. "The reason why the jade seal of the state is missing is because at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was preparing to usurp the throne and asked the Queen Mother for the jade seal of the state. When the Queen Mother found out, she became furious and threw the jade seal to the ground, but it broke into pieces. When Wang Mang got the broken imperial seal, he was happy and regretful at the same time. He ordered the palace craftsman to be found and ordered him to use gold to repair the missing corner within two days. Therefore, the jade seal passed down from the country has the characteristic of gold inlay. Zhao Yunlin took over the words and said: "In addition, Cao Pi forced Han Xian to abdicate, proclaimed himself emperor and established the Wei State. He carved eight official characters on the shoulder of the Chuanguo Seal, 'The Great Wei accepts the Han Chuanguo Seal'. Later Zhao Shile destroyed the former Zhao. After getting the seal, in On the right side is the inscription 'Destiny Stone'. Aren't these words clearly displayed on this square jade seal?" Liu Sizhe didn't expect that his words would make the three women in the room denounce them and burst into laughter. Said: "I didn't say it was an imitation. It's just that the records of the imperial seal are too detailed. The characteristics you mentioned are all recorded in history books, so I think we should be more careful, otherwise in the end Wouldn't it also affect Brother Chen's reputation? " Chu Chen smiled and spread his hands: "I am not going to collect this imperial seal myself. Even if it is to be exhibited, it has nothing to do with me. How can it affect my reputation? "Ah? Brother Chen, are you planning to donate it?" Liu Sizhe looked a little surprised. Chu Chen said: "Of course, it doesn't matter if I collect it myself. But the meaning of the national jade seal is different. It is really inappropriate to collect it personally." In fact, although this national jade seal is of national importance, It is a weapon, but in the final analysis it is just a seal with special significance. It certainly cannot change the direction of history by itself. From another perspective, whether there is a seal or not, it will not affect the control of power, and even the momentum of authoritarianism may not fluctuate. That's why. After the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor had more and more various seals and their purpose. It is to downplay the sacredness of the national jade seal. Of course, judging from what Zhang Huoni said, this is most likely because the jade seals passed down from the Song Dynasty were already imitations and were not allowed to be copied. But even so, in the hundreds of years since the Jade Seal disappeared, no dynasty has said that it cannot control power without the Jade Seal. Now our country is even more prosperous. However, although the current jade seal is essentially a priceless national treasure. But after thousands of years of evolution, it has become a spiritual symbol. It is considered by many to be an artifact of the country. Chu Chen will certainly not keep such a treasure with special meaning in his hands, otherwise it will definitely cause him trouble in the future, especially his identity, which makes it inconvenient to collect. Regarding Chu Chen's decision, both Liu Lao and Chu Yongning happily agreed. Although others felt it was a pity, the national jade seal was no longer a mortal thing in terms of significance. Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, they also Everyone understands Chu Chen's decision. "Achen, when are you going to donate?" Wu Ke asked. Chu Chen smiled and replied: "In a few days, many people have not seen it now. If I donate right away, I will be drowned in saliva." That day, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan returned to the hotel because it was already evening. , I didn¡¯t have time to take the flight back that day. But the next day, there were only three direct flights from Xiazhou to Beijing, and the others had to transfer. So, he booked a direct flight at 5 p.m., which was the earliest flight to Beijing. Considering that the jade seal passed down from the country is too precious, after Chu Chen returned home, he, his parents and Wu Ke took the jade seal to Liu's hometown to appreciate it, which led to the current scene.  "We will talk about this later." Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Antique appraisal is a very serious matter, especially for national treasures such as the national jade seal, which should be appraised with great caution. Just like A Zhe said, These details are clearly recorded in literature and history, and not only do we know them, but the ancients also know them clearly, so it is impossible to determine the authenticity of the jade seal alone. ""So where should we start?" Liu Qinshu asked. "The first thing is of course the material." Mr. Liu said. Liu Sizhe said: "It is recorded in literary history that the jade seal passed down from the country is as green as blue, warm and lustrous. Many people say it is Lantian jade. Now that I see the real thing, I think it looks like Lantian jade." Chu Chen denied: " This is obviously impossible. We all know that the jade seal of the Kingdom of China was made from He's Bi, and He's Bi was obtained from a piece of rough jade that Bian He obtained in Jingshan. You must know that Jingshan. It is located in Jingchu, and Lantian Jade is near Xijing. The two places are more than 400 kilometers apart, so it is obviously impossible for the Chuanguo Jade Seal to be made of Lantian Jade." Wu Ke took the words and said: "In addition, even if this Fang Jade Seal looks like it. It's Lantian Jade, but Lantian Jade can't have such brilliance. Otherwise, Lantian Jade would have been famous a long time ago." Liu Sizhe looked at the jade seal that seemed to exude brilliance, and said with a smile: "That's true, but this is the case. What kind of jade is it?" Mr. Liu pondered for a while and replied: "As for the material of the traditional jade seal, there are generally three opinions in the academic world, namely color-changing labradorite, turquoise, and Dushan jade. , If this is really a jade seal passed down from the country, I think it is more likely to be a mutated color-changing labradorite. " Labradorite is relatively common and is used as a decorative material, but some of it has iridescence. Labradorite can be used as a gemstone, and the rarer one is colored labradorite. Color-changing labradorite emits a special iridescent flash. This phenomenon is due to the interface of dissolved plates, twin crystals or strip-like inclusions with different sodium contents inside the labradorite crystal. Due to the interference of diffraction or reflected light, it will cause flickering and different tones. Or flashes of varying brightness. In different parts of the same grain of labradorite, when the thickness of these oriented conjoined bodies is different, different interference color areas can be produced, which can present either a single spectral color such as green or blue, or yellow, golden, red, or purple. Equal tones. These colors will produce hue changes or brightness changes in the order of spectral colors as the illumination direction or viewing angle changes. Labradorite with this kind of color change is called color change labradorite. And this square jade seal can emit an incredible brilliance, which is indeed like color-changing labradorite. However, this square jade seal looks as warm and lustrous as the finest jade, which is different from the characteristics of labradorite. Perhaps it is, as Mr. Liu said, this is a mutated color-changing labradorite. After a moment of silence, Liu Sizhe said: "As for the material, I think it is enough as long as it can be matched with the records in literature and history. After all, the Chuanguo Jade Seal has disappeared for so many years. Who can accurately know the real Chuanguo Jade Seal? What material is it made of? " "Besides, the material of this Fang Yuxi is so special that it is probably unique in the world. In addition, it is consistent with the records in literature and history. I don't think even the most demanding person can do it. Is there something wrong with the material?" Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement. Wu Ke asked: "In addition to the material, is there any other way to identify the authenticity? And since everyone knows the characteristics of the national jade seal, it should be possible to make the carving look fake, right?" Chu Chen said with a smile. : "Actually, there is the simplest way to identify this Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal." "What method?" Except for Mr. Liu, everyone else looked at Chu Chen curiously, wanting to hear his answer. Chu Chen gave it up first and asked with a smile: "Do you know what the imperial seal is mainly used for?" Liu Sizhe said hesitantly: "It should be used to prove whether the dynasty is orthodox, right?" Liu Qinshu Wen Yan laughed: "Azhe, you are still a college student, of course the jade seal is for use!" Liu Sizhe was startled, and when he saw the smiles on everyone's faces, his face was as red as the city wall. He stood up and coughed hard several times to make himself less embarrassed. Chu Chen smiled and helped him out, and said: "Everyone knows that after a seal is used, as long as it is stained with ink pad, there will definitely be some marks on the surface of the seal. Especially after years of accumulation, the marks will become more obvious, and even It has penetrated into the seal and it is impossible to clean it, especially the imperial seal. From the beginning of Qin Shihuang to the later Tang Dynasty, the seal mud on it has not been cleaned at all.??It's impossible to clean it off. " When Chu Chen said this, Mr. Liu showed the seal surface of the jade seal to everyone. Sure enough, there were traces of long-term use on the seal surface. Chu Chen continued: "Of course, this alone cannot confirm the authenticity of the national jade seal. , but we can scrape off some of the ink pad and do a scientific appraisal and it should be fine.
