”I think this should be during the Song Dynasty.” I answered simply.
”Little Yang, how could you tell?” Zhou Dingshan asked me suspiciously.
”The Song Dynasty was much more powerful than the Jin Dynasty, and the artifacts unearthed were naturally older and more numerous. Whether it was its shape or texture, this Golden-Gold Jai Blue Lion was in accordance with the style of the Song Dynasty. I think Mr. Zhou knows this better than I do. ”
”Yes.” You're right. ”According to its appearance and texture, the Golden Lion King was indeed a cultural relic of the Song Dynasty. However, later on, the appraiser concluded that it was a gift from the Song Dynasty to the Golden Kingdom.”
”That's right, this was produced during the Song Dynasty. is not a cultural relic unearthed during the post-Golden Age. ”
The Secret of the Post-Song Golden Lion Art contained the following: ”In the post-Song Dynasty, there were lions. They were made from gold and possessed the ability to dispel evil spirits. The body of a lion has a tattoo, which is a national treasure. ”
According to legend, there was a general in Song who was called Lishua. He was originally a mountain villager. This was because the ancestral homemade gilding techniques were very good. Many nobles would travel thousands of miles to find this villager if they wanted to make the gold-plated objects.
This person had made an extremely authentic Gold-Silver Colored Lion, which had a quality, luster, and appearance that could not be described with words. However, he only made one and gave it to the post-Song emperor.
Because the man he loved had been chosen by the Emperor as his concubine. He used his dedication as an excuse to see his concubine from a distance.
The Emperor was saved by this villager who called him Lone Village. The Emperor did not know the inside story and felt that this man was very skillful. Later on, he found out that it was precisely this man who had contributed the Blue Lions of the Gilt Steel.
The emperor immediately sealed the place and turned it into a great general. Ever since then, he had been in private with the concubine.
Finally, one day, when the emperor found out, he became extremely angry. The concubine committed the crime of messing around in the palace and was bestowed with the white silk. It was too late for Lishan to come with a large group to rescue them.
The girl who once lived in that wild room was now dead.
The emperor deeply loved his concubine and left her with a complete corpse after her death. He also put his favorite, the Gold-plated Jai Lan Lion, into her coffin. However, it was not buried in the mausoleum. Instead, it was placed in the side hall.
Rumor had it that the soul of the concubine had surrounded Liao Hua and was unwilling to leave the human world. It was even rumored that the concubine's soul had already blended into the Golden-Gold Ciaran Blue Lion and was having a private meeting with him in every remote place in the side chamber.
And the Emperor did not kill him at first because he was already a famous vanguard general, armed with heavy troops. After that, he was killed and his soul was integrated into the Golden-Gold Jia Lan Lion. Later, rumors spread that they often heard voices from the coffins of the side chamber, and often accompanied by the soft roars of lions. No one dared to approach the side chamber again.
Of course, these were only legends, and this only served to accentuate the later Song Dynasty's golden Ciaran Blue Lion's mythology and its value.
Zhou Dingshan is really grateful to me, he said that if it weren't for me, it would be impossible for him to accurately appraise and judge his own knowledge of antiques.
There were many antiques in Wang Yong's shop, so I carefully observed them one by one to appraise and explain my thoughts. Zhou Dingshan and Wang Yong praised me endlessly.
As time went by, we gradually got to know each other. The more we chatted, the more we speculated about the appreciation of the antiques.
I was surprised to find that I had a talent for this. If it wasn't for Zhou Dingshan inviting me here today, I really wouldn't have known that I possessed such great potential.
Just as we were happily chatting, Lee Buqian walked in.
Saner and I looked at him. We didn't expect him to come here.
It turns out that I only found out afterwards that this Wang Yong was a very sociable person. He was friends with anyone and only focused on doing business and making money.
