The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

It’s hard to say, it’s really hard to judge. The Manchu emperor’s crown has made one crown after another. Even if you guess at the lowest level, every emperor must at least get a new one for himself, right?

I don’t know if Puyi has made a new crown, because in the photos of the crown he took while hiding in the Forbidden City when he was an adult, the highest-ranking one was wearing a lucky crown with a large pearl embedded on a golden seat. , It seems that there is no photo of wearing a crown.

However, the emperors before Puyi definitely had the crown of the new dynasty, that is...

As soon as his mind turned, Zhang Nan thought of something that had something to do with the round Dongzhu on the crown. From this point, you can guess who this exquisite crown belongs to: the Qing Dynasty will be produced in the Songhua River in the northeast. The pearls of Heilongjiang, Wusuli River, Yalu River and their basins are called Dongzhu. The emperors regarded high-quality Dongzhu as a rare treasure, and Dongzhu was absolutely indispensable in the crown and clothing that represented rights and honor.

However, according to the records of the Qing Dynasty, it is not easy to obtain Dongzhu: "Every time you get a pearl, it is not an easy task."

Dongju, not Chinese cabbage!

The rulers like Dongzhu wildly, even if folk pearl mining is forbidden, the wild and indiscriminate harvesting of a national nature will make the resources of Dongzhu in the Heilongjiang River Basin rapidly shrink in just one hundred years. After the Yongzheng Dynasty, it has been: "Although there are occasional The particles obtained were very small and unusable."

But even so, the scale of the official pearl mining industry in the Qing Dynasty continued to expand, and Qianlongna would reach the largest scale.

After that, the national strength weakened. After the Xianfeng Dynasty, the pearl mining industry in the Northeast region shrank drastically due to the invasion of Tsarist Russia and the loss of the country. By now, the pearl mining industry in the Northeast has long since disappeared, and the East Pearl has become extinct.

The Dongzhu on the Qianlong dynasty crown kept in the Forbidden City is of extremely high quality. Zhang Nan would be thinking maliciously: Will the old man Shiquan remove his Lao Tzu’s crown so that he can get a complete set of top-notch big Dongzhu. ?

Thinking about it, this is really possible, because at Qianlong's meeting, the Dongzhu resources are really scarce.

I recalled those "standard images" of Qing emperors wearing a crown on the head that I had seen in the Forbidden City: the east beads on the foreheads of the first three Qing emperors were all uniform in size and round. But on the emperor's portrait from Jiaqing, the 15 east beads on the "Golden Buddha" are not only small, but also a set of beads, large and small, all of which are not of the same size.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nan said: "If you guess, it is most likely to eat chaff and diarrhea. Qianlong is also possible. That guy has been the emperor for 60 years. It is not surprising that he has won several crowns.

However, I guess this crown is old and needs to be refurbished. Just change the body of the hat. The crown, the golden Buddha and the sarin can be disassembled. Qianlong doesn’t need to get two sets of this grade. Most probably it’s him. Grandpa's..."

He also talked about the judgments he had drawn from the Dongzhu pearl mining industry. After hearing this, Xiang Weirong said: "Could it be Yongzheng?"

Zhang Nan shook his head, "The workaholic in Yongzheng wouldn't like such a fancy crown. I remember that the golden Buddha on his forehead was the most rustic in the portrait of the Forbidden City, with a solid gold plate inlaid with 15 east beads.

ugly!

As for the Shunzhi meeting, there should be no strict regulations on the golden buddha on the hat. The style is somewhat different from later, and it is difficult to say whether the metalworker has this level. "

The Shunzhi Society was still at war, and I probably didn't have too much thought to play with this problem of hats on the head: the Manchu Dynasty is still quite realistic, and the most important thing is to grab the world.

...

The outer side of the hat box is divided into two layers, and the inside is actually opened: the three major accessories on the crown are not missing, and the lightning rod is a bit taller.

Chaoguan took it out and put it in, the box was closed, and Zhang Nan stared at the other boxes that had been brought up—a count, there were seven.

Don't pry open first, try to carry it by yourself, there are light and heavy.

He smiled and said to the person on the side: "I hope there are hats inside."

The few people on the side laughed without cooperation: Old fate is too fierce!

But just think about it: there is only one complete emperor hat in the Forbidden City, but there are more than 30 incomplete hats, and only the cap itself is left. The hat top and other accessories are long gone, thousands of miles away. How many complete ones can you find in Germany?

One is good, not too greedy.

Open one by one: jewelry, European antiques of gold and silver, seemingly very precious religious books...and a fancy European crown...

There are two boxes, each with a Chinese and Qing Dynasty style hat box, the size and height are higher than the one of the emperor just now!

Both boxes were moved out first, but not opened for the time being, put them away.

Zhang Nan rubbed his hands, "Two more tops will be fun. Match the emperor."

Matching, chanting of the father's mother-in-law—these two boxes have dark golden phoenix patterns. It is probably the queens and concubines' big hats that can be larger than the emperor's crown.

The lottery is generally opened, and sure enough, two superbly crafted and gorgeous royal queen Gong women appeared in front of their eyes, and the styles looked almost the same.

Zhang Nan leaned down and looked at it for a long time, and said, "We have gathered both the pros and cons~www.readwn.com~ one for the queen or the queen mother, and the other for the imperial concubine."

The Qing Dynasty, the queen, the dowager dowager, and the queen dowager used smoked mink in winter and green velvet in summer. The two tops in front of me are velvet, belonging to the summer crown: the crown is a dome with a semicircular slope, and there is a crown around it.

The crown body is decorated with Zhu Wei, and the crown is in the shape of a pagoda. It is divided into three layers. The top is made of east pearls. Each layer runs through the east pearl with 1 each, and all bears the golden phoenix. It is decorated with 3 east pearls and 17 pearls each, with the upper title Dadong. Bead 1.

Last week, Zhu Wei was decorated with golden silk phoenix 7. Each phoenix was decorated with 9 Dongzhu, 1 with cat's eye, and the tail of each Phoenix was decorated with 21 pearl.

On the back of the crown, Jin Lei Si Zhai 1 (that is, a pheasant made of golden silk), Zhai's back is decorated with cat's eye 1 and Zhai Wei is decorated with pearls 16.

A bead knot hangs down from Zhai Niao, consisting of 64 pearls in each row of the five elements, hanging in a horizontal row. In the middle of the five elements of the bead, outside the 32nd one, a round lapis lazuli knot is connected, and it is decorated with golden silk. The pieces are made of lapis lazuli 1, east bead 6, and pearl 6.

Then from the stone knot hangs down the second half of the five elements of pearls, a total of 302 pearls, called "five elements and two things", each row of large pearls 1 and corals.

The back of the crown hangs down from the eaves of the gourd-shaped protective collar, two bright yellow silk ribbons hang from the bottom of the protective collar, the end is decorated with gems, and the left and right sides of the crown are decorated with cyan ribbon.

Xiang Weirong watched for a long time, and felt that there was no difference. Anyway, they were all his own, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Boss Guan asked, "I said how do you tell it, I think it's almost the same."

Zhang Nan pointed to one of the golden phoenixes on one of the crowns and said: "The seven golden phoenixes of the imperial concubine's crown do not have cat's eyes on them. The bead knots under these pheasants are not five lines and two lines, but three lines and two lines. The number of pearls used is less, it should be 192."

The two crowns are like piles of plastic, and you can't tell them if you don't look closely.
