Until now, no one pays attention to the actual amount of gold and silver. No matter how much it is, it is just a number. Even if the gold bricks are piled up like a mountain, they will only give people a short-term shock, and there is no artistic beauty at all.
To put it bluntly, those gold and silver are just precious metals after they are reheated.
But porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, etc., represent the characteristics of a certain era, art culture, humanistic background, etc., through which we can dream back to history.
Therefore, the archaeological team is looking forward to discovering treasures with gold and silver overseas.
"Teacher Li, professors, come here and take a look. There is a rectangular wooden box here. The wood seems to be different from the others."
Teacher Zheng Bin shouted, and Li Mo knew it well. It seemed that he had found the important treasure. He, Professor Zhu and others hurried over.
This wooden box is about 180 cm long, 80 cm wide and about 40 cm thick. The color of the surface of the wooden box is dark, but using a spotlight flashlight you can see that the wood has a slightly reddish texture.
The entire wooden box is wrapped and reinforced with four iron belts, which is completely different from other wooden boxes with just a lock.
The live broadcast camera was focused on the wooden box. Professor Zhu gently wiped the corners of the wooden box with a wet cloth, then used a flashlight to take a close look and said: "Hainan yellow rosewood."
"It seems that the things stored in this wooden box are not simple, Professor Zhu. These iron straps require tools to cut."
Curator Fu turned around and waved to a staff member, and saw him holding a huge pressure scissors. After a few operations, he saw the iron straps breaking off one after another, and finally cut off the lock.
Professor Zhu was just about to open the lid of the box when he suddenly turned around and said, "Xiao Mo, come here and open it."
Li Mo didn't want to show up, but more than ten people present looked at him, and even the camera subconsciously took pictures of him. He had no choice but to take a few quick steps forward to avoid the camera, then squatted down with his back to everyone, reached out and slowly opened the lid of the box.
The treasure stored in the wooden box made of Hainan yellow rosewood finally revealed its true identity. In the eyes of everyone, the treasure reflected light all over, so dazzling and dazzling.
There were screams of exclamation at the scene, and everyone's eyes widened, staring motionlessly at the treasure in the wooden box.
That's a dragon robe.
Li Mo picked up the wooden box alone and slowly walked towards the long table not far away.
"I'm here to help you, be careful. This is the dragon robe of Taiping Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan." Professor Zhu quickly held one end, and Professor Zhou from Sichuan University also reacted quickly and quickly held the other end with a smile.
The wooden box was gently placed on the long table. With the help of the light, everyone gathered in a circle and carefully looked at the dragon robe in the wooden box. Although this dragon robe is not completely opened, it can still be seen that the dragon robe is extraordinary.
First of all, the fabric used in the dragon robe is Jinling Yun Brocade, one of the four famous brocades in ancient times. The other three famous brocades are Sichuan Shu Brocade, Gusu Song Brocade and Guangdi Zhuang Brocade.
Jinling Yunjin has a very unique production process and has a history of more than 1,600 years. It must be woven with an old-fashioned jacquard wood machine, and it must be completed by the cooperation of the jacquard worker and the manufacturer.
The production process is very complicated, and even if two skilled workers work together very well and have very good skills, the output per day is only 6 centimeters.
Secondly, the materials used for Yunjin brocade are very exquisite. It is woven with gold wire, silver wire, copper wire, filament, silk, various bird and animal feathers and other materials regardless of cost.
Yun brocade belongs to weft brocade, and its flowers are displayed by weft lines. The colored weft lines do not run through to the bottom, but only pass through the warp and weft in a small area where there is a pattern. This enables free color change. The "make-up" process of this kind of free-weaving pattern is the most complicated. With the existing technology, the machine cannot weave it.
And each Yun brocade pattern has its own specific meaning. In addition, Yun brocade's unique flower-specific color characteristics allow Yun brocade to be viewed from different angles, and the colors of the flowers on the embroidery are different.
Such exquisite materials and complicated production techniques have always been tributes to the royal family. Indeed, only the emperor's dragon robe can match the high-end atmosphere of Yun brocade.
Hong Xiuquan established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and made Jinling its capital. Naturally, the dragon robe he wore was made of the best Yun brocade.
"It has been said in history that every inch of Jinling Brocade is worth every inch of gold. It is indeed well-deserved." Li Mo really wanted to reach out and touch the dragon robe, but with so many pairs of eyes staring at it, he was too embarrassed to touch it.
"Teacher Li, tell us about this dragon robe." Zheng Bin couldn't help but say. He was dazzled by the sight and rubbed his eyes from time to time.
"The dragon robe of the Heavenly King is made of Jinling cloud brocade, and the five-clawed golden dragon is embroidered on the chest. It is all outlined with gold thread. The dragon head is powerful and domineering, with the power of swallowing up mountains and rivers. Look at this row of buttons, each one is made of Hotan mutton-fat jade, then edged with gold."
"Everyone is looking at the cuffs and collar. They are all outlined with gold threads, and there are pieces of auspicious clouds. The auspicious cloud patterns are also inlaid with small particles of top-grade grandmother rubies. The exquisiteness and gorgeousness of the dragon robe alone is really unique among the emperors of the past dynasties. I can’t find anyone wearing a dragon robe that is better than this Heavenly King dragon robe.”
"As long as this Heavenly King's dragon robe is displayed in a museum, it will definitely be a treasure."
"This dragon robe is very well protected. It's rare. It's really rare."
Li Moyou took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be something hidden underneath the waist and abdomen of the dragon robe. He took out a pair of clean white gloves from his pocket, put them on and gently lifted the corner of the dragon robe, and another treasure underneath appeared in front of everyone.
"Is this a top-notch emerald belt?"
Professor Yu was standing next to Li Mo, so he immediately saw the treasure hidden underneath.
Li Mo slowly took out the belt and laid it flat on the dragon robe.
"This is not a top-grade emerald, but a glass-type imperial green jade. This belt uses a total of twelve rectangular pieces of imperial green jade. Each piece of jade is also edged with gold, and there is a five-clawed golden dragon engraved on the gold edge."
"All imperial green jadeite is connected with beef tendons that have been treated with a special process. You can see that each tendon is actually wrapped with several gold wires. The place where the belts are interlocked uses the butterfly buckle process. The operation Simple, exquisite craftsmanship.”
When Li Mo said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Hong Xiuquan's level of corruption is more terrifying than that of Lafayette. With such a person, such vision, and the limitations of that era, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is destined to fail."
"Teacher Li, can you ask me a question that I shouldn't ask?" a young teacher asked in a low voice.
Li Mo looked up at him and smiled: "You don't want to ask how much this belt is worth, do you?"
The man scratched his head in confusion.
"The twelve pieces of jadeite used in this belt are all glass-type imperial green. The average price is 50 million a piece. How can it be worth 600 million. In addition to the exquisite craftsmanship of the belt and the historical significance it gives, it is estimated that If so, this green-covered gold belt of the Heavenly King is worth at least 800 million."
"Eight hundred million!"
There were exclamations all around.
"The dragon robe belt has been released. I don't know if the crown and dragon boots are also in other wooden boxes. If it can be made into a complete set, it will be priceless."
Although the camera of the live broadcast did not focus on Li Mo's face, every word he said from beginning to end was transmitted clearly and entered the ears of everyone watching the live broadcast.
"This treasure was repackaged and stored in the underground treasure house of the Jinling Museum as soon as possible." Li Mo turned around and shouted, "Brown Bear, arrange for someone to escort it there."
There are two treasures in this wooden box. Unlike the gold and silver before, it doesn't matter how they are dropped or broken, but the dragon robe and belt must not have any damage or scratches.
Li Mo closed the lid of the box and had someone re-wrap it with extremely strong straps. Then he was escorted out in a helicopter by security guards and soldiers with guns.
"It's so enjoyable. I will brag more than ever in my life in front of my relatives and friends." Zheng Bin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"You still need to brag about it. Now I'm afraid all your relatives and friends have seen it."
There was a burst of laughter immediately in the treasure cave.
