The engraved books in the early Ming Dynasty inherited the style of the Yuan Dynasty. Most of them were black-mouthed characters in Zhao style. The paper was mostly made of white cotton paper. It was cherished by collectors as "black-mouthed white cotton paper" versions. Some people think that they can be combined with the Song and Yuan versions. In addition, the complete books in the early Ming Dynasty were rare, so if they were early complete copies, they were very valuable for collection. Most of the remaining copies were all sub-books. Due to the large number of remaining books, especially some ancient books divided into multiple volumes, the coefficient of ownership is not very high, unless there are some special gimmicks, such as original imperial palace magazines, or original exquisitely bound scriptures or isolated versions, which are rare and rare, but the price is still not high, and they have great collection potential.

The Ming version in the mid-term was also called the Jiajing version. It was very popular to reprint Song versions at that time. It was characterized by the white-mouthed and rigorous fonts, and it was mostly made of white cotton paper. However, there was a hype "white cotton trend" around 2010. A speculator invested less than 100 million yuan to speculate the price of Ming cotton to the highest price at the 2010 autumn auction. At that time, only a full set of original Ming Jiajing white cotton paper printed ancient books could be sold for 80,000 to 100,000 yuan per volume, which was 5-

8 times, so it can be said that it is the golden period for the entire Ming Dynasty white cotton paper printing since the auction. However, this year, due to the selling of speculators, there is a price but no market, which makes it clear that the price of cotton paper printing returns to the price of about 30,000 to 60,000 per volume. Therefore, when purchasing ancient books or any investment products, you must pay attention to whether the purchased varieties are entered and controlled by big buyers, especially niche collections like ancient books. Once speculators sell goods and few other speculators take over, the market price may drop sharply.

The later Ming version was also called the Wanli version. The Wanli version was mixed with fish and dragons, and although there were many excellent works, they were not many. Their characteristics were mostly made of yellow bamboo paper, with light horizontal and heavy fonts. Because it was difficult to distinguish between the Wanli version and the early Qing Dynasty version, the price of this version was not very high, and some were even mistakenly considered to be Qing engravings. Therefore, the collection price of this type of ancient book is still at a medium and low level, and it also has great collection value.

Finally, after teaching Lin Yi these words, Uncle De summarized the collection of "Mingqian Ancient Books":

Thinking of the situation of "hard to find a clear picture" in early 2010, people often think that Ming version books are rare and expensive, but now it seems that Ming version books are not very rare, nor are they as expensive as imagined. Therefore, the common sense of collecting and selling ancient books is "Don't be reluctant to sell when it is high, and don't be reluctant to buy when it is low."

But it should be remembered that the paper in the Ming version is rare, the prints are exquisite, the binding is beautiful, the postscripts of famous artists, the content is secret, and the rare books in the world should always be the top priority in the collection of ancient books in Ming versions, and it is also suitable for the collection of ancient books in other dynasties. But it should be noted that it is not emphasized here as a complete set, because after all, most collectors are not famous officials and great masters, and there is no such thing as so much silver to play. Those who leave one or two appreciations should be content!

Now Lin Yi turned around and understood these words from Uncle De, and felt enlightened. He had a deeper understanding of the collection of old books and ancient books. At least he knew that the pile of waste paper in front of him would definitely be "making money without losing money". These three sets of Ming-published books can be sold at least 100,000 after repair, not to mention that he had the super precious Song version of "Dream Xi Bi Tan" in his hand.

Time passed slowly. At noon, Lin Yi, Lao Huang and Cao Yidao simply had a meal at the school cafeteria with the boarding students.

The meal was very simple, with potatoes and cabbage stewed together, and then steamed buns. Lao Cao couldn't eat such a meal, so his bowl was wiped out by Lao Huang. Lin Yi ate a small bowl, and he was in a high mood and didn't feel hungry at all. The second bowl he served was given to Sun Amao and his group of children. Seeing that Lin Yi had a lot of potatoes, the children snatched up the bowl of potatoes, and they ate it up in a mess, and the soup was flowing all over his mouth.

I continued to search for books in the afternoon. When it was dark, I selected about 300 books, with a slightly better appearance and a little precious content. For Lin Yi, these achievements were enough for him to be satisfied with.

Principal Li Weimin was also very satisfied because Lin Yi promised to transfer the 300,000 yuan debt to the school tomorrow, and the construction of the school was finally settled.

It can be said that everyone is happy in this transaction., Chongqing University’s selfies take photos, please follow the WeChat official account to watch the beauty online (Search for Beauty Island Mei Girl Dao123 to hold for 3 seconds to copy)
