The fortune teller said I was the unearthed night pearl _ What did the fortune teller mean by the life of the night pearl?

What exactly is the night pearl mentioned by the ancients?

The luminous pearl is a natural treasure that shines at night. It has been widely circulated in China for thousands of years, and has been endowed with many mysterious colors in the fields of philosophy, economy, politics, culture, poetry, novels, jewelry and so on. Nowadays, the continuous appearance of the Night Pearl not only confirms the historical record of the Night Pearl from myth to the present world, but also greatly enriches the cultural connotation of King China, which has attracted the attention of archaeology, history, geology, jewelry circles and collectors, and has become a favorite collection.

According to historical records, as early as the prehistoric Yandi Shennong era, there were already night pearls, such as Shennong's. The king of stone balls is known as the "Night Mine in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period", such as "Hanging Li" and. The wall of thorns' Night Pearl' has always been regarded as a' world-famous guardian' and its precious value is the same. Harmony is neck and neck. At that time, only Tao Laigong (Fan He) and Jia Dun (a big businessman in the Warring States) could afford it. The State of Jin once used a "tortoise with a thorn" as bait, and "replaced it with danger". Doctors in Chu, Song, Wei and other countries have borrowed the Night Pearl.

Implies philosophy and discusses state affairs.

Qin Shihuang buried the night pearl. In the mausoleum, Guo Kuang, the younger brother of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, "hung pearls all around, looking like stars by day and the moon by night" to show off his wealth. Wu Zetian gave the Jade Dragon in the Night Pearl to Xuanzong. Xuanzong Huizi (sejong) 1 Zhu Qing. Light up a room. When Tang had a car, a night pearl named "Shuizhu" sold for hundreds of millions. Although some of them are just legends, the night pearl has gradually formed a culture in the history of our country.

During the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the royal family was particularly fond of the Night Pearl. Among them, Genghis Khan's Night Pearl was stolen in Taiwan Province Province and was later detected by the police in Taiwan Province Province and returned to its original owner. Yuan Ming once sent officials to Sri Lanka to buy rubies and garnet luminous pearls. In the Ming dynasty, there were several emerald luminous pearls in the cabinet, which were as bright as candles. Nine luminous pearls were found on the phoenix crown of Empress Cide, and were given to Song Meiling by Sun Dianying, a warlord of Dongling, on 1928.

People in China love the night pearl, and the rumors about it have been passed down for generations, but why haven't the unearthed night pearl been seen in archaeology? There are two reasons: first, there are not as many night pearls as jade in previous dynasties, which are quite rare treasures in history; Second, it has not been taken seriously. For a long time, people regarded the night pearl as a legend or myth. Many people doubt whether there is a pearl in history. At the same time, the night pearl can't be found in the daytime, so even if there is a night pearl, it will be ignored. Who will identify jade articles in the dark at night?

However, in recent years, the night pearl has attracted the attention of the archaeological community. In the early 1990s, when the author appraised the quality of ancient Wang Yu in Sanmenxia National Cemetery, Henan Province, he thought of "the change of vertical spines into a night pearl". Although it is unlikely to be unearthed in the cemetery of national mourning, because the "vertical thorn wall" was used by the state of Yu in the Jin Dynasty, I still paid attention to this issue. 1On May 27th, 999, at the first China Chu King Cultural Conference held in Chaohu, Anhui, some archaeologists became interested in the Night Pearl. From May 8th, 20001year to May 8th, 2000 10, at the second China King Cultural Conference held in Dadang Temple, Xishan, Beijing, when talking with some archaeologists about the Night Pearl, I also felt that it should attract the attention of the archaeological community. In September of the same year, from 18 to 22, some archaeologists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan talked with the author about the luminous pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi at the academic conference on ancient jade research across the Taiwan Strait held by Taiwan Province Provincial University.

Further understand the situation and consciously attach importance to the discovery of the night pearl.

In the early 1980s, fluorite night pearl was first discovered in China, and it has been discovered continuously since then. In recent years, precious diamond night pearls, crystal night pearls and pyroxene night pearls have been discovered in China, and the night pearls at home and abroad have been heated up. 65438+2002 10, a fluorite luminous pearl weighing14350g appeared in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Since 1980s, the continuous discovery of the Night Pearl has attracted great attention from domestic and foreign media, and journalists and newspapers have also reported it constantly.

The discovery of the night pearl is not easy. You need to know the treasure more if you want it. In ancient times, some people did not know the treasure, and once abandoned the night pearl hanging in the bay. An old farmer in Wei got a luminous pearl with a diameter of 1/2. Seeing that the luminous pearl was terrible, he threw it into the far field. Some people regard the night pearl as "a disaster" and "hitting the sand". In modern times, some people in Sichuan smashed the water gall crystal night pearl, and some people in Qinghai threw it into the West Lake in Hangzhou, and it was too late to regret it. In A.D. 1982, Mr. Che Guangling from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, discovered the fluorite luminous pearl with great economic value for the first time while buying crystals. In the same year, Mr. Huo of Guangdong discovered the origin of fluorite night pearl for the first time in a mine in Guangdong. Guangdong Nonferrous Metals Research Institute has uncovered the mystery of its luminescence (phosphorescence) through scientific testing and research on this fluorite luminous pearl. The luminous mechanism of fluorite night pearl is related to the doping of trivalent rare earth elements in its composition. In A.D. 1995, Guangdong Sun Yat-sen University, Peking University and China Geo-University tested and studied the fluorite luminous pearl, and confirmed that its luminescence was indeed related to rare earth elements, pointing out that "fluorite itself is a luminescent substance, and proper doping of rare earth impurities improves the luminescent properties of minerals. Of course, this rare earth doping is related to the metallogenic environment, which is the most concerned thing for geologists and is conducive to the development of the luminous pearl resources.

The scientific experiment and research work of the night pearl has just begun, and the diamond has been found. Crystal and other luminous pearls have not been further tested and studied. In the testing work, it is also necessary to test whether it is radioactive and its dose. For example, the radioactive dose measured by fluorite night pearl is only 1.0* 10-8 Curie/kg, which is harmless to human body and environment, and collectors can rest assured. In particular, the continuous discovery and identification of the modern night pearl have been placed in front of experts. In recent years, it has been found that iridium is coated on the surface of fluorite or other stones, or punched on glass, crystal, jade and so on. , and then pour in fluorescent powder, pretending to be a real natural luminous pearl. The fake phenomenon of the night pearl has aroused great concern. Everyone should pay special attention when buying and collecting it, and don't be deceived.

Now some people suggest that some propaganda media make the night pearl "sky-high", and suggest that the state can set a price standard, which was possible during the planned economy period, but it is difficult to do it now. The price of the night pearl will still change freely in the market economy period, which can only be decided by buyers and sellers. As we all know, things are rare, and what is more valuable is worthless. The main problem now is how to make rational use of the resources of the night pearl.

The book "Ancient and Modern Night Pearl" was written at the suggestion of many friends and experts and scholars in the fields of jewelry, geology, archaeology, history and especially collection. It is also the author's (color version 1) accumulation and arrangement of materials for many years, hoping to be beneficial to the fans and readers of the night pearl and have certain reference value. In the process of writing, the author tries to quote the original text and annotate it to facilitate readers' textual research and further study. In particular, in the third chapter, the author will conduct Dequan, Zhong Huabang, Wang Genyuan and Wang. Some important expositions and works of experts and scholars such as Li, Hu, Zhou Shiquan, Cheng Guangzong, Qi Shicheng and Shen are selected for readers. It should also be pointed out that they have made great contributions to the cause of the luminous pearl in China. There are many records about the Night Pearl in China's ancient books, some are official records, some are unofficial history legends, some are novels and even fairy tales, which provide important information for us to study the ancient Night Pearl. This book is "throwing bricks to attract jade". If it is inappropriate, readers and experts and scholars will appreciate pointing fingers at the author. The author would like to thank Mr. Shi Shuqing, a researcher at the Museum of Chinese History, deputy director of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee and honorary president of the China Collectors Association, for his inscription and preface (color version 2). Mr. Yang Boda, former vice president of the Natural History Museum of the Forbidden City, president of the Jade Research Committee of the China Cultural Relics Society and member of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, and Mr. Liu Qingzhu, director of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, served as the consultant of this book. I would like to thank Mr. Li Guangling, a well-known collector of strange stones in China, and Mr. Yang Jinxian, a well-known collector of night pearls in China, for providing the real specimens and related materials for this book. In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Lou Dong, the editor of Cultural Relics Publishing House, for being the editor of this book, and for his careful guidance, which made the author feel very honored and benefited a lot. I believe there will be various types of luminous pearls in China.
