As we all know, "Hundred Family Surnames" is a book about Chinese surnames, which was written in the early Northern Song Dynasty. It originally collected 411 surnames, and later added to 504, including 444 single surnames and 60 mixed surnames.

The order of "Hundred Family Surnames" is not the actual arrangement of the population of each surname, but because it is easy to read and easy to learn. It starts with "Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng King, Feng Chen Chu Wei, Jiang Chen Han Yang...", "Zhao Qiansun Li" became the first four surnames of "Hundred Family Surnames" because the Hundred Family Surnames were formed in the Qiantang area of ​​Wuyue in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty emperor, the Qian family of the King of Wuyue, the Sun family of the King of Wuyue, and the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty became the top four surnames of the hundred family.

Because it is spread too widely, almost since the Song Dynasty, there were various versions of "Hundred Family Names" in every dynasty. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, "Hundred Family Names" remained popular for a long time. As a children's enlightenment book, it has always attracted much attention.

From the Republic of China to the founding of the New China, during the ten-year catastrophe period, in order to destroy the four olds and to defeat the tumor of feudal culture, these originally catchy "Hundred Family Names" withdrew from the historical stage.

However, now, some relatively aristocratic schools have brought out this ancient enlightenment culture, allowing the children to read and recite aloud, and faintly, the essence of the ancestors has shined again.

However, for collectors, the theme of "Hundred Family Names" is too ordinary. As collectors, many people even disdain to collect these. Of course, some collectors directly regard "Hundred Family Names" as the theme of collection. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, from the Republic of China to the present, it is enjoyable to collect this series alone.

Now, the Song version of Lin Yi’s book with its own halo is actually the well-known "Hundred Family Surnames". First of all, there is no sense of mystery. Why is the content too popular and many people can recite it, so there is not much research value in terms of content; however, this is a Song version of the book after all, so everyone is still looking forward to observing the exquisite engravings of this book...

Under the expectations of everyone, Lin Yi finally unfolded the Song version of "Hundred Family Surnames". In order to let everyone see the book more clearly, Lin Yi specially borrowed the imaging instruments from the auction to enlarge the book on the screen so that everyone can see it clearly.

It doesn't matter if this is true, because everyone is a collector and an expert in ancient books, so I fell in love with a "seal" in this book at a glance.

Dahong's "seal" has only three words - Zhuyunlou!

...

If there are "Wudang", "Shaolin Temple", "Kongtong", and "Huashan" in the martial arts world - the Liu Damen School in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"; then there are "Haiyuan Pavilion", "Iron Qin Tong Sword Tower", "Yue Song Tower", "Eight Thousand Books Tower", "Jiangyun Tower", and "Guiyun Tower", and are also known as the "Six Major Library Buildings" of Chinese ancient books.

The reason why "Guoyun Tower" can come from behind and become famous all over the world starts with an auction in 2005.

In 2005, a batch of "Guoyunlou Book Collection" appeared at the auction for the first time. As the largest Song version in the world, this one is the only one that can be circulated among the people, and it is also an isolated book at home and abroad. The 179 "Guoyunlou Book Collection" led by the eighty volumes of the Song version of "Brave Wanhua Valley" was sold at 180 million yuan, setting the highest auction price of Chinese ancient books.

This auction alarmed both at home and abroad, and also made "Guoyun Tower" begin to be a holy place in the collection world and enter everyone's eyes.

In fact, "Guoyunlou" is a famous private library in the south of the Yangtze River. It is known as "Jiangnan collects the best in the world, and Guoyunlou collects the best in Jiangnan". After 150 years of inheritance by 6 generations, the collection of books has been collected from ancient Song and Yuan dynasties, exquisitely written and copied, excellent engraved by Ming and Qing Dynasties, and more than 800 kinds of inscriptions and calligraphy. The Gu family has a family precept: the paintings in Guoyunlou can be reviewed by others, but the rare ancient books in the family cannot be easily displayed to others. Therefore, the books in Guoyunlou are placed in secret rooms all year round, hidden and unreleased.

It was not until Fu Zengxiang wrote the "Gu Heyi Collection of Books" that the "Guoyunlou" collection was revealed throughout the world. Fu's catalogues: 539 kinds of books in the Guoyunlou, including 50 old books in the Song and Yuan dynasties, 165 carefully written old manuscripts, 149 Ming engravings, and 175 finely printed copies of the Guo Dynasty.

After Gu Heyi's death, four sons inherited the family property, including Gu Gongxiong and Gu Gongshuo. To this day, the Gu family still has a story about only calligraphy and painting, not sons. In 1937, after the July 7 Incident, the Japanese invaders bombed Suzhou. In order to prevent calligraphy and painting from being affected, the Gu family could only deposit the essence of the family's collection of calligraphy and painting into the bank vault of the Shanghai Concession. In 1938, on the way to Shanghai, the only car was filled with ancient calligraphy and painting books, and could not get off. Gu Gongxiong immediately decided to leave his two sons in the attic of a small shop in Changshu Bus Station and transport the cultural relics to Shanghai first. When the relatives in Shanghai saw the car, they asked in a hurry: "Where is the child?" He replied: "I'm still at the bus station, and then I'll find a way!"

...

As a collector, Lin Yi, of course, also knew the value of the golden sign "Guoyunlou", so he showed such a "seal" in front of everyone.

Because he knew that this "seal" was equivalent to the "Rolls-Royce" in cars, the "Chanel" in clothes, and the "Pata Cuili" in watches... The brand value is invisible and the most touching, because people are greedy and luxurious in nature.

Sure enough, all the four major collectors, including Mr. Lu San, widened their eyes, and some even whispered to the military advisors around them, as if they were discussing the price they should pay later. As for the other audience members, they were also amazed. The collection of books on "Baoyun Tower" was considered a treasure, and this trip was worth it!

Just a "seal" seduces everyone to be ready. Some of the shrewd people have to admire Lin Yi's psychological tactics, which completely grasps the hearts of collectors. They have such scheming at a young age, and should not be underestimated.

Just as the four major collectors discussed the bidding price with their military advisors, Lin Yi once again displayed the specific content of this "Hundred Family Names".

It turns out that this book is a version of the Southern Song Dynasty - a pity that it is not the first version of the Northern Song Dynasty. Otherwise, it might be another rare treasure. Even so, the exquisite carving technology and printing technology of the Southern Song Dynasty completely conquered everyone present.

What is the beauty of Song Book? What is the beauty that is so beautiful? It is all shown in this book.

"What is the minimum price of this book?" someone asked.

Lin Yi said: "3 million."

Everyone started to talk.

"It's not too much to buy a book called "Guoyunlou" for 3 million."

"Yes, it's absolutely cost-effective, but unfortunately I'm not qualified to bid."

...

"The Song version of the book is sold on the broken pages. Although this "Hundred Family Names" is not too thick, the Southern Song version has particularly exquisite carvings and engravings. Adding the three words "Guoyunlou" to 3 million, it's worth it!"

"It's not worth it. If you can buy it for 3 million, you'll get a big hole!"

"Yes, at this price, a Ming version of the book is worth millions, let alone such a top-quality Song version of the book."

...

"Can you bid?" The first thing that can't stand is Mr. Zhang Si of the "Four Major Collectors".

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

Then Mr. Zhang said a few more words to the military advisor beside him, then wrote the price code and handed it over.

Seeing that Mr. Zhang Si had made a bid, Mr. Feng Wu and Mr. Ding Qi also wrote the highest price in their hearts and handed it over. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be determined to win this Song version of "Hundred Family Surnames".

In contrast, Mr. Lu San, who had been holding his troops, also nagged a few words with the military advisor around him, an ancient book expert, and saw the military advisor holding a laptop, as if searching for something. Not long after, he seemed to have found what he was looking for, and then leaned in Mr. Lu San's ear and whispered a few words. Mr. Lu San smiled, nodded, then picked up the card, wrote a bid price code in his own hand, and asked someone to hand it over.
