Chapter 476 Brocade Dragon Robe, Emerald Belt

Up to now, people no longer pay attention to the amount of gold and silver in Qibao. No matter how much it is, it is just a number. Even if the gold bricks are piled up like a mountain, it will only give people a short-term shock, and there is no artistic beauty at all.

To put it bluntly, those gold and silver are just precious metals after they are remelted.

But those porcelains, calligraphy and paintings, jade wares, etc., represent the characteristics of a certain era, art culture, humanistic background, etc., through which you can dream back to history.

Therefore, the archaeological team is looking forward to discovering the treasures of Jinshanyin overseas.

"Mr. Li, professors, come and have a look. There is a rectangular wooden box here. The wood seems to be different from the others."

Teacher Zheng Bin yelled, Li Mo knew it well, it seemed that the treasure had been cleaned up, so he, Professor Zhu and others hurried over.

This wooden box is about 180 centimeters long, 80 centimeters wide and about [-] centimeters thick.The color of the surface of the wooden box is dark, but with a spotlight flashlight, it can be seen that the wood has a reddish texture.

The entire wooden box is reinforced with four iron belts, which is completely different from other wooden boxes with random locks.

The live camera was aimed at the wooden box, and Professor Zhu wiped the corners of the wooden box with a damp cloth a few times, then looked at it closely with a flashlight and said: "Hainan yellow rosewood."

"It seems that the things stored in this wooden box are not simple, Professor Zhu, these iron belts need tools to be cut."

Curator Fu turned his head and waved to a staff member, and saw him holding a huge pressure scissors.After a few operations, he saw the iron belts break off one after another, and finally cut the lock.

Just as Professor Zhu was about to open the lid of the box, he suddenly turned around and said, "Xiao Mo, come here and open it."

Li Mo didn't want to show up, but more than a dozen people present all looked at him, and even the camera subconsciously took pictures of him.I had no choice but to take a few steps forward quickly, avoiding the camera, and then squatted down with my back to the crowd, reaching out and slowly opening the lid of the box.

The treasure stored in the wooden box made of Hainan huanghuali wood finally revealed its true colors. In the eyes of everyone, the whole body of the treasure reflected light, so eye-catching and dazzling.

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, and everyone's eyes widened, staring at the treasure in the wooden box motionlessly.

It was a dragon robe.

Li Mo lifted the wooden box by himself and slowly walked towards the long table not far away.

"I'll help you. Be careful. This is the dragon robe of Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Professor Zhu hurriedly supported one end, and Professor Zhou from Sichuan University also responded quickly and quickly supported the other end with a smile.

The wooden box was gently placed on the long table, and with the help of the light, everyone gathered in a circle and carefully looked at the dragon robe in the wooden box.Although the dragon robe was not fully stretched, it was still possible to see how extraordinary the dragon robe was.

First of all, the fabric used for the dragon robe is Jinling Yunjin, one of the four famous brocades in ancient times. The other three are Sichuan Shu brocade, Gusu Song brocade and Guangdi Zhuang brocade.

Jinling Yunjin has a very unique production process and has a history of more than 1600 years.It must be woven on an old-fashioned jacquard wood machine, and it must be completed by the cooperation of the jacquard worker and the fabricator.

Its production process is very complicated, even if two skilled workers cooperate with each other very tacitly and skilled, the output per day is only 6 cm.

Secondly, the materials used in Yunjin brocade are very particular, regardless of the cost, it is woven with materials such as gold thread, silver thread, copper thread, filament, silk, and feathers of various birds and animals.

Yunjin belongs to the weft brocade, and the flowers are displayed on the weft.Its colored weft thread does not run through to the end, but passes through the warp and weft in a small area where there is a pattern.So as to realize free color change.The 'makeup flower' process of this freely woven pattern is the most complicated, and with the existing technology, the machine cannot weave it.

Moreover, each brocade pattern has its own specific meaning. In addition, brocade has unique characteristics of different colors from flower to flower. When viewing brocade from different angles, the colors of the flowers on the embroidery are different.

Such exquisite materials and such cumbersome production techniques have always been the royal tributes of the royal family. Indeed, only the emperor's dragon robe can match the high-end atmosphere of brocade.

Hong Xiuquan established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and established his capital in Jinling. The dragon robe he wore was naturally the best brocade.

"In history, it is said that every inch of Jinling's brocade is gold, so it really lives up to its reputation." Li Mo really wanted to reach out and touch the dragon robe, but with so many eyes staring at him, he was too embarrassed to touch it.

"Ms. Li, tell us about this dragon robe." Zheng Bin couldn't help but said, he was dazzled by the sight, and rubbed his eyes from time to time.

"The dragon robe of the king of heaven is made of Jinling Yunjin, and the chest is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, all of which are outlined with gold thread. Hetian mutton fat jade, then wrapped with gold inlay."

"Everyone is looking at the cuffs and neckline, all of which are patterned with gold wire, with pieces of auspicious clouds. There are also small particles of top grandmother rubies inlaid in the pattern of auspicious clouds. In terms of the exquisiteness and magnificence of the dragon robe alone, it is the most beautiful among the emperors of all dynasties. I can't find anyone who wears a better dragon robe than this heavenly king dragon robe."

"As long as this Heavenly King Dragon Robe is displayed in the museum, it must be the treasure of the town hall."

"This dragon robe is well protected, it's rare, it's really rare."

Li Moyou took a closer look, and there seemed to be something hidden under the waist and abdomen of the dragon robe.He took out a pair of clean white gloves from his pocket, and after putting them on, he gently lifted the corner of the dragon robe, and another treasure underneath appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this a top-of-the-line emerald belt?"

Professor Yu was standing next to Li Mo, so he immediately saw the treasure hidden below.

Li Mo slowly pulled out the belt, and spread it on the dragon robe.

"This is not a top-grade emerald, but a glass-type imperial green jadeite. This belt uses 12 yuan of rectangular imperial green jadeite. Each piece of jadeite is also wrapped in gold, and a five-clawed golden dragon is secretly engraved on the gold edge."

"All the imperial green jadeites are connected with beef tendons that have been treated with a special process. You can see that each beef tendon is also wrapped with several gold wires. The belt buckles are made of butterfly buckles. Simple operation and exquisite workmanship.”

When Li Mo said this, he couldn't help but heaved a long sigh and said: "Hong Xiuquan's corruption is even more terrifying than that of Lafayette. With such a person, such vision, and the limitations of that era, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is doomed to fail."

"Ms. Li, can I ask a question that shouldn't be asked?" A young teacher asked in a low voice.

Li Mo looked up at him and smiled, "You don't mean to ask how much this belt is worth?"

The man scratched his head in embarrassment.

"The 12 yuan jadeite used in this belt is all glass-type imperial green, with an average price of 5000 million yuan, and it is worth [-] million yuan. In addition, the exquisite craftsmanship of the belt and the historical significance given to it can be estimated together. This green and gold belt of the Emperor of Heaven is worth at least [-] million or more."

"Eighty million!"

Surprises all around.

"The dragon robe and belt have already been produced. I don't know if the crown and dragon boots are also in other wooden boxes. If they can be made into a complete set, it will be invaluable."

Although the live broadcast camera was not aimed at Li Mo's face, every word he said from the beginning to the end was transmitted clearly and entered the ears of everyone watching the live broadcast.

"This treasure is repackaged and stored in the underground treasure house of the Jinling Museum as soon as possible." Li Mo called back, "Brown Bear, arrange a human escort."

There are two treasures in this wooden box, unlike the previous gold and silver, it doesn't matter how it falls or breaks, but the dragon robe and belt must not be damaged or scratched in the slightest.

Li Mo put on the lid of the box, and asked someone to re-wrap it with extremely strong straps, and then the security guards and soldiers with guns took the helicopter to escort them out.

"It's so enjoyable. I'll brag about it all my life in front of my relatives and friends." Zheng Bin couldn't help feeling deeply moved after seeing it.

"It's up to you to blow it up. I'm afraid your relatives, friends and good people will see it now."

There was a burst of laughter immediately in the treasure cave.
