As the longest-lived emperor in Chinese history, the Qianlong Emperor reigned for a total of sixty years, he was not only a emperor who would only pursue immortality, in the decades of governing the country, he continued to expand his territory, develop the economy, vigorously promote sinology, and continuously improve the country's strength on the basis of the emperors of the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties.
In addition to being able to govern the country in an orderly manner, the Qianlong Emperor is also a big "play master", his biggest hobby is to engage in collection, the emperor collects cultural relics, naturally different from ordinary people, his collection, so many that even he can't count themselves, in order to find out how many treasures he really has, he finally ordered that the university scholars in the DPRK form a team to record his collection, and finally write a book, this classic called "Shiqu Baodi", stored in the treasure hall of the Palace Museum, It records all the rare treasures that the Qianlong Emperor possessed in his lifetime, and one of them was taken out and put into modern times, which was a priceless treasure.
When a person is interested in a kind of thing, he will naturally delve into the doorway, the Qianlong Emperor is the same, he loves to collect cultural relics, love to study cultural relics, see more, naturally also exercised an extraordinary vision, dare not say that it is true or false at a glance, but in most cases, through their own eyesight and insight, can judge the true and false things are good or bad.
In the "Imperial Jade Record", the Qianlong Emperor himself recorded an interesting incident, one day he was offering jade to the chancellor, suddenly noticed a jade carving wrench, it looks indeed the style of the Han Dynasty, but when played, there is no warm feeling, but a cold and firm touch. The Qianlong Emperor felt that something was not quite right, so he summoned Yao Zongren, a craftsman from the jade carving family, and Yao Zongren turned his jade wrench, looked at it carefully, and said without hesitation: "This is the jade made by the little man's ancestors, and the little man knows it." The Qianlong Emperor was greatly confused, so he ordered a thorough investigation of this object, and finally got the result, which was really a replica.
The Qianlong Emperor's poisonous and spicy eyes have since become famous throughout the country, facing inward and outward, and no one dares to fool him anymore, but "the wise man has a thousand worries, there will be a mistake", the Qianlong Emperor also had a time to look away, he recognized a jade object as the wrong identity... This is a very special kind of jade, it is rounded on the top and bottom, and the body is rectangular, which belongs to the typical outer square and inner circle design, and the internal vacuum. The most peculiar thing is that it is large at one end and small at the other, and it looks very peculiar.
Although the Qianlong Emperor was well-informed, he did not know what this kind of jade was, and qianlong himself wrote in the ancient books: "Those who call this a rut, I don't know when it began?" The inner house is the most numerous, indomitable index. ”
This kind of jade that was all over the palace, the Qianlong Emperor did not know what to call, which was something that the Qianlong Emperor could not accept, so he decided on his own that this was an auxiliary tool used by the ancients when lifting heavy objects, and called it "Rudder Head". The Qianlong Emperor also carved his own poem, the jade smith, on the surface of the jade, "Wing Han Jade Head":
"The precious jade is illuminated with its Ying, and the white light of the Zhangtai shines in the city." The head of the Han Dynasty is ancient in the Han Dynasty, and the vicissitudes of excavation are even more...
Ninety years after the death of the Qianlong Emperor, Wu Dayi, an expert in ancient jade research, cracked this "unjust case" in the ancient jade world, and he published an ancient book called "Ancient Jade Tukao", which recorded nearly fifty kinds of jade, the most noteworthy is the reversal of "Jade Qun". In the Zhou Li, it is recorded: "Worship the heavens with Cangbi and the land with Huang Qi." From this, it can be seen that in ancient times, Huang Chun was a jade vessel used to worship the earth during sacrifice. The Kangxi Dictionary also contains a definition of Qun. Combining various historical materials, Wu Dayi listed many examples, proving that what the Qianlong Emperor called "Yuantou" was actually "Yu Qun".
Originally, it was a large head down, a small head up, used to worship the earth of the jade, was actually called the Qianlong Emperor, and even found a lot of new "functions", such as the Qianlong period of "jade", some were placed on the royal table as a pen holder, and some were equipped with copper galls and lids were used for flower arrangement.
In the eyes of our modern people, this matter is of course a "stain on life" for Qianlong, but for Yu Chun itself, it is not a bad thing, although the identity has been misidentified for decades, but its cultural relics value has been recognized, history is really very interesting.
