First, the words "Eight Needles of Wei Scandium Treasure" and "Seal" became nobles in the Qin Dynasty. Before the Qin Dynasty, this name could be used in both official seal and private seal. After Qin unified the six countries, it was stipulated that only the emperor's seal could be called "seal" and the subjects' seal could only be called "seal". Emperor Qianlong had more than 1800 seals in his life, ranking first among emperors in previous dynasties, which was 15 times that of his grandfather Kangxi and10/times that of his father Yongzheng. The seal on the edge of Qianlong is a milestone he set for his long life and a barometer of his mood. He won the battle and made a seal to commemorate it; Copied poems should be decorated with seals; The 70-year-old "Gu Xi Tian Zi" and its supporting "diligent travel to Japan" and the 80-year-old "Eight Needles D Scandium Treasure" and its supporting "self-improvement" all show the spirit of being young; Emperor Qianlong, who became emperor in the second year of Jiaqing (1797), used a very straightforward seal. It says "Return to politics or teach politics". Obviously speaking, although my son became emperor, I still have the final say on major issues.
When Qianlong was in office, it was engraved with the seal of the first emperor, and the content was "the treasure of Qianlong's royal view". On the fourth day of the first month of the first year of Qianlong (1736), Yong Zhengdi had passed away for more than four months, and the sad atmosphere of mourning was replaced by the celebration of changing the number. The 25-year-old young emperor asked the eunuchs around him to take a bronze seal material to the imperial edict of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ordered that the words "the treasure of Qianlong royal tour" be engraved on it. The person in charge of the work took the order with trepidation. Six days later, the eunuch was asked to submit two drafts of seal script to Gan Long, one was yin (white) and the other was yang (red). After carefully reading it, the emperor gave an answer: no.
In another 40 days, the carefully crafted bronze seal will be handed over. As a rich king in the four seas, Qianlong has eight "treasures of Qianlong Imperial View" in his life, and the seal materials are extremely rich, including jasper, white jade, sapphire and jet. In addition, Tianhuang, agate, crystal, ivory, beeswax and mud can all be used as printing materials. Seals made of different printing materials have different shades, which are worth appreciating carefully. After years of war, a considerable part of the Qianlong Imperial Seal was lost overseas. The picture below shows a "treasure of Qianlong Imperial Vision" auctioned in Taipei. It was purchased from new york by Cai Yi, the richest man in Taiwan Province Province 1984. The bid at that time was $33,000.
At that time, the most valuable thing in existence was the above-mentioned "Eight Needles D Scandium Treasure" (see the picture below). It was made in the 55th year of Qianlong to celebrate the 80th birthday, and it is the largest piece of Qianlong Imperial Seal. This kind of "Eight Needles D Scandium Treasure" is printed in many important collections of the Qing Dynasty, such as Autumn Mountain Twilight Scroll in the Palace Museum in Beijing and Liuyalu Smoke Scroll in the Shanghai Museum. The jade seal is now hidden in Britain. Because it is going to be auctioned at Sotheby's in London, the starting price has reached 600,000 pounds, which has caused a crowd of netizens to watch. Many netizens think that this is another challenge to China, and relevant parties should come forward to get these cultural relics back; Some people even called on Christie's in France to auction the bronze statue of the animal head of Yuanmingyuan last time.
Second, the Jiulong Sword Jiulong Sword is not a traditional sword of the Han family, but a Mongolian-style machete. The body of the sword is slightly curved, five feet long, and the hilt is special, with nine golden dragons carved on it. But these nine dragons were carved according to the meaning of "ninety-nine to one" in the Book of Changes of the Han Dynasty. In Zhouyi, nine to one means samsara. The scabbard is made of precious shark skin, inlaid with rubies, sapphires and Jin Gangzuan, which is priceless. Gan Long is familiar with Hanshu, knowing that Heaven is reincarnation, and so are people and dynasties. It is impossible to rule and enslave the Han nationality forever. This means that Gan Long was buried with this sword, and he will be enslaved forever through reincarnation.
After casting the sword, the air conditioning filled people, as if there were ghosts on it. Fog will be generated around the sword, and the nine dragons on the hilt will leap in the fog. Kowloon sword is a female sword, and it is ominous to use it in the Yang world.
It was Sun Dianying, the warlord of Dongling mentioned above, who brought the Kowloon Sword back to earth. In order to avoid "the tragic situation of bandit troops digging and stealing Dongling", legal action is called for. He gave the treasure beads contained in Cixi's mouth to Song Meiling, the two largest ones in Qianlong Zhu Chao to Dai Li, and the "Golden Watermelon" to Song Ziwen, ready to dedicate the most precious "Jiulong Sword" to Chiang Kai-shek. 1939, Sun Dianying gave Dai Li the most precious Kowloon sword and asked him to give it to Chiang Kai-shek.
At that time, during the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Dai Li ordered Ma Hansan, a military spy, to try to send this sword to Chungking and give it to Chiang Kai-shek. Ma Hansan knew that this Kowloon Sword was priceless, and he wanted to keep it for himself. He didn't want Ma Hansan to be arrested and defected by the Japanese in 1940, so he gave him the priceless Kowloon Sword. After the Japanese surrendered, Ma Hansan, who had been concerned about the whereabouts of the sword, learned that the sword was hidden in the home of the great spy Chuan Dao in Beiping, quickly arrested Chuan Dao Yoshiko and found the sword from her home.
1in March, 946, Dai Li went to Beiping No.1 prison to interrogate the female Kawashima Yoshiko, and was shocked to learn that Ma Hansan, the stationmaster of Scout Beiping Station, was arrested, defected and possessed the Kowloon Sword in disguise. Take the initiative to hand over the sword and give it to Dai many treasures, antiques, calligraphy and painting. On March 17, Dai Li set off from Qingdao with Kowloon Sword and flew directly to Nanjing, but the weather was bad and the plane crashed. When Shen Zui recovered the Jiulong Sword from Jiangning farmers, the scabbard and hilt had already been completely burned. So Shen Zui put it in the coffin and buried it with Dai Li's body.
But strangely, four people who took the Kowloon Sword: Sun Dianying, Ma Hansan, Kawashima Yoshiko and Dai Li, all died, and the legend of the curse of Qianlong Sword spread. Things have changed. When the secret of Kowloon Sword was revealed, everything was gone. Perhaps for this national treasure, G, which turned into spring mud in Purple Mountain, is also a good destination.
