C27 Pentagonal Zither (2/2)

The host shouted out. Just as he finished speaking, the red curtain was pulled open! The one meter long Qi Ziqin was quietly placed on the stage!

This zither had five strings; they belonged to the zither!

”Qi Ziqin?” Lin Feng was slightly stunned, he had heard of some of the zither's names, but he had never heard of this zither before.

Li Hong shook his head, ”I have some impression, some impression. Let me think!”

”Hey, teacher, most of the zithers nowadays are seven-stringed zithers, right? What's with this harp? Is it worth collecting? ”

”Nowadays, the collection value of the zither is much higher than that of the seven-stringed zither. That is because the true zither of that era was the five-stringed zither! This was because the first zither was a five stringed zither. Later, the Wise King and Martial King would each add a string and become seven strings! In 1978, Ceng Houyi dug up the oldest zither he had ever heard, but it was a zither with ten strings! The middle Warring States Zither that was also shown in Guo's shop in 1993 resembled the zither of Zeng Houyi's tomb. The highest excavated item in China is the seven-string zither! ” As Li Hong spoke, he thought, ”However, there were many zither pieces later on, but they were all imitated later on. Although there were some years of history, the real discovery of the zither's antiquities has not been unearthed yet!” Old Mo treated this Qi Ziqin as a treasure, could it be that it's real? ”

Lin Feng was completely confused by what he heard. He really didn't know much about the zither and the zither, and now that Li Hong told him, Lin Feng quickly remembered.

From Lin Feng's impression, the more strings the zither had, the better it was for Lin Feng! However, this point of view was shattered by Li Hong's lecture today.

There were many people who were more knowledgeable than Li Hong. They were very clear that the seven-string guqin was the most popular guqin in the collection, because among the real items, the seven-string guqin was the most genuine one! However, it was not easy to find a fifth string zither that truly belonged to the era of the fifth string zither.

Seeing that everyone present was confused, the host also began to explain:

”I know!” Everyone present was puzzled! This time, why is our auction item a pentagon zither! Not seven strings! This was because the owners should also be clear that the collection value of the lyre was much higher than that of the zither! As you all know, it's too difficult to find a true zither! ”

”Legend has it that the zither during the period of the Wise King had five strings! But when King Wen was thinking of his son Boyi, he found the five strings difficult to express his river of sorrow! It added a string! Later on, when he was in the martial arts world, he discovered that the six strings could not vent his thunderous anger, so he added another string to it! This caused the zither to become a seven-stringed zither! When it came to the future generations of kings and they felt like they were adding strings, there was no one who was more emotional than the Wise King or the Martial King! The zither of the future generations are also fixed in this way! ”

”But today's auction product, the zither, has been confirmed to be the seventeenth zither of the Xia Dynasty! The strings were later installed, and according to the original owner of the item, when the guqin was dug out, there was even oil on the strings. Afterwards, when the guqin was installed for debugging, it was even able to play a tune for every second! There were only so many good introductions. Everyone was very clear on whether this item was good or not! Especially I know that a few bosses who came to the scene today all liked the zither! If he didn't say anything more, the starting price would be eighty million, and each increase would be no less than a million! Now, let's start! ”

”85 million!” A mysterious boss in the main district raised the bid by 5 million, which was quite shocking!

The guests did not expect that this auction would have an starting price of 80 million. One must know that only Lin Feng's Rainbow Pattern Plate had auctioned off for 5 million! As the final item of the auction, the disparity in price was too great.

Lin Feng and Li Hong were both stunned.

”Teacher, is the zither worth eighty million yuan?” Lin Feng asked in surprise. He really did not expect that a single zither could fetch a price of 80 million and increase the first bid by five million. Was he determined to win it?

Li Hong shook his head, ”Lin Feng, as a teacher, you can only recount so much about the zither to me. As a teacher, I don't study much of this!” However, if this zither is really the zither of the Xia Dynasty, then he might be worth more than 100 million! ”

Li Hong's words completely shocked Lin Feng. Li Hong smiled and said, ”You're lucky to have come across so many good things on your first time at the auction!”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, he only felt that these people were truly rich and had no way to burn them.

Now that he was invited, the price of this zither was raised to 98 million in a short period of time.

”98 million, 98 million!” There were already people offering 98 million. Was there any higher bidders?! 98 million going once, 98 million going twice! ”Nine thousand …”

”100 million!”

Before the host could finish his sentence, a domineering female voice shouted out, ”100 million...”

Lin Feng was already very familiar with this powerful voice. She was Bi Yun'er, the person who had just bid five million yuan for his Five-Colored Pattern plate in the Kangxi era.

A hundred million … This was no longer the same concept. Although there was only a difference of two million from ninety-eight million, the other bidders had no idea what was going on with Bi Yun'er today. She had been sitting in front of them for a long time before suddenly rushing out, catching them off guard.

”Teacher, this old chairman's family is that rich?” Lin Feng asked in disbelief.
