Compared with a Song edition book that can easily reach millions of dollars, the price of a clear edition book is undoubtedly low, and some clear edition books can even be bought for a few hundred yuan.
After all, by the Qing Dynasty, printing had become popular, and the cost of printing was much lower.
The most important thing is that compared with the Song edition books of seven or eight hundred years ago, there are far more Qing editions that are only three or four hundred years old.
The condition of this clear edition of the book is still said in the past, according to Yang Jing's judgment, the condition of this book should be up to eight or five grades.
This volume is about seventy or eighty pages long, with the title of the book written on the cover - "Miscellaneous Conversations of the Ancients", and the name of the author - Liu Zheng at the bottom left.
Obviously, this is supposed to be a book about the ancients.
However, whether it is the title of the book or the author, Yang Jing has never heard of it.
Looking at Yang Jing looking at the cover, the shopkeeper said: "This book should be a book published by the people during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
According to my verification, Liu Zheng is a native of Jiangnan and Zhejiang Province, and he was a person in the 42nd year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. ” Although this Liu Zheng and Liu Shiqi are not celebrities, since the boss can be sure that he is the person who was raised in the forty-second year of Kangxi, then this book must be a book in the Kangxi period.
The most important thing is that this book can still maintain the quality of eight or five grades, which is relatively rare.
Yang Jing cautiously turned the first page, and what caught his eye was the name of Han Yu, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.
It took less than two pages to introduce Han Yu, and then there were introductions by Liu Zongyuan, Su Shi and others.
Only here did Yang Jing understand that this book should be a book compiled by a certain aspiring talent or juren in the Qing Dynasty out of boredom to introduce famous literati in the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties.
Its role is somewhat similar to the current Du Niang's character Baidu Encyclopedia.
At this time, Yang Jing's phone rang, and it was his uncle calling.
"Uncle, you go around with my grandfather first, I'll take a look at the store just now, and I'll look for you later."
Hanging up the phone, Yang Jing continued to read the book.
The book is well compiled, and the most important thing is that Yang Jing found that this book should not be an ordinary clear edition book, but an engraved book.
In ancient books, whether it is a Song version of a book, a Ming version of a book, or a worthless Qing version of the book, it contains engraving, movable type, hand-copying, etc., but the most valuable thing is the engraved book.
The so-called engraved book refers to the book printed by engraving printing.
Take the most valuable Song carved book as an example, if the Song edition is the crown of rare books, then the Song carved book is the most brilliant diamond in the crown.
In the same way, even if it is a worthless clear book, if it is a rare engraving, its value is not necessarily as good as that of a clear book.
Seeing that Yang Jing was a little moved, the shopkeeper smiled.
"How's it going, little brother, do you see what's different about this book?"
Yang Jing raised his head and looked at the boss, and gave the boss a thumbs up and said: "Boss, your method is not simple, you can even collect a clear carved book, but it's a pity, this book is not an official carved book, just a family carved book or a workshop carved book." ” The shopkeeper smiled: "The official engraving is not so easy to get, if it was the official engraving, I'm afraid it would have been collected by the museum a long time ago." ” Yang Jing nodded, did not speak again, but continued to watch.
After a long while, Yang Jing gently closed the book and said to the boss: "Boss, this book is good, how much can I get it?"
” The boss said: "Little brother, you have also seen that although this book is a Qing engraving book, it cannot be compared with the Ming version of the book and the Song version of the book, but the quality of my book is top-notch."
Now don't talk about the clear version of the book, even if it is a book from the Republic of China, it may not be in such a good condition.
So if you want, take five thousand. ” Hearing this, Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Boss, this price is too high." ” "Not high, not high.
This is a clear engraving of the Kangxi period in such good condition.
Although it is not an official engraving, the price is definitely not high for this book. ” Yang Jing smiled and said: "Boss, if this book is really a Qing engraving in the Kangxi period, even if it is a family engraving or a workshop engraving, I will take this price without saying a word."
It's a pity that your book is not an engraved copy of the Kangxi period, if I read it correctly, this book should be from the Guangxu period. ” "What?
During the Guangxu period?
Impossible!
I am sure that the author of this book is a person from the Kangxi period, how can it be a book from the Guangxu period?
"The owner was a bit anxious.
Yang Jing said: "Boss, you are a professional in rare books, you should know that judging the true origin of a book cannot be judged from the author alone, and you must also know what are the characteristics of the engraved books in the early Qing Dynasty, right?"
” The boss nodded, and was about to say something, but Yang Jing didn't give him a chance to speak, but directly opened the book, pointed to the words on it and said: "The engraved book of the early Qing Dynasty, the font is still the style of the late Ming Dynasty, the glyph is rectangular, straight and thick, horizontal and thin.
After arriving in Kangxi, "writing style" and "imitation Song style" began to prevail.
As for after arriving in Daoguang, the font of the engraved book began to become rigid, and it was known as "craftsman characters".
If you look at the font of this book, do you think that this font is the style of the late Ming Dynasty?
” "Although you can be sure that the author of this book is a person in the forty-second year of Kangxi, the font of this book is dull and has no aura at all, and it is a typical craftsman character in the late Qing Dynasty, how could such an engraved copy appear in the Kangxi period?
Such a font will not even appear on the engraving of the Yongqian period. ” When he said the latter paragraph, Yang Jing kept looking at the shopkeeper, and sure enough, Yang Jing clearly captured the panic in the shopkeeper's eyes.
At this time, Yang Jing had a complete idea in his heart.
If Yang Jing's judgment is correct, the shopkeeper should know that this book is an engraved copy of the late Qing Dynasty, but the shopkeeper didn't know where to get a cover, and then used the method of stealing beams and changing pillars to change the cover to the book.

There are a lot of things in the antique world now.
This boss is still a little conscientious, at least he got an engraved copy of the late Qing Dynasty, if you change to a black-hearted boss, maybe he will fool you with books from the Republic of China.
If you change to a customer who is slightly worse in basic skills, when you see that the author is a person from the Kangxi period, and the book is an engraved book, you may ignore the font in the surprise.
After all, even if it is a craftsman style, in fact, it does not look very different from the writing style or imitation Song style of the Yongqian period, and only those who are proficient in this aspect can see the difference between them.
The shopkeeper saw that Yang Jing was so sure and knew that he had met an expert, so he asked with a wry smile, "Then how much money do you want to come up with?"
” Yang Jing smiled and raised a finger ps: Bow and thank you for the 100 tips of "Seeing People in the Lights", "Ice Octave", and "Purple Flame Tianjiao".
