Compared with a Song edition book that can easily reach millions, the price of Qing edition books is undoubtedly lower. Some Qing edition books can even be bought for a few hundred dollars.

　　 After all, in 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 version of seven or eight hundred years ago, the Qing version of only three to four hundred years ago has been preserved.

　　 The quality of this Qing edition book is still in the past. According to Yang Jing's judgment, the quality of this book should be eighty-five.

　　 This volume is about seventy or eighty pages, with the title of the book written on the cover-"Ancient Miscellaneous Talks", and the author's name-Liu Zheng on the bottom left.

　　 Obviously, this should be a book about ancient people.

　　 But whether it is the title or the author, Yang Jing has never heard of it.

Looking at Yang Jing looking at the cover, the shop owner said: "This book should be a book published by the people during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. After I collected this book, I had specifically inquired about the author. According to my It was verified that Liu Zheng, who was named Shiqi, was from Jiangnan and Zhejiang Province and was a Juren in the 42nd year of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty."

　　 Although this Liu Zheng and Liu Shiqi are not a celebrity, since the boss can be sure that he is a Juren in the forty-two years of Kangxi, then this book must be a book from the Kangxi period. The most important thing is that this book can still maintain the appearance of the eighth or fifth grade, which is relatively rare.

　　 Yang Jing opened the first page cautiously, and what caught his eye was the name of Han Yu, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.

　　 It took less than two pages to introduce Han Yu, followed by introductions by Liu Zongyuan, Su Shi and others.

　　 After arriving here, Yang Jing understood that this book should have been a book dedicated to the famous literati in the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties. Its function is similar to that of Baidu Baike, who is now Du Niang.

　　 At this time, Yang Jing's phone rang, and it was the old uncle who called.

　　 "Old uncle, you should accompany your grandpa on the public tour first. I'll take a look at the store just now. I'll look for you later."

　　 Hanging up, Yang Jing continued to read the book.

　　The book is well compiled. The most important thing is that Yang Jing discovered that this book should not be an ordinary Qing edition book, but a block copy.

　　 In ancient books, whether it is a Song or Ming edition or a worthless Qing edition, they all include engraving, movable type, hand copying, etc., but the most valuable is the block copy.

　　 The so-called engraved edition refers to books printed by engraving. Take the most valuable Song carved edition, if the Song edition is the crown among the rare books of ancient books, then the Song carved edition is the brightest diamond on the crown.

　　 The same reason, even if it is a worthless Qing edition book, if it is a rare block copy, its value is not necessarily as good as that of the Ming edition book.

　　 Seeing Yang Jing's movement, the shop owner smiled. "Well, brother, do you see the difference in this book?"

Yang Jing looked up at the boss, and gestured to the boss with a thumbs-up and said: "Boss, your method is not easy. You can collect a printed copy, but it's a pity. This book is not an official copy, but A block-printed copy or a block-printed copy."

　　 The shop owner smiled and said: "Official blockbusters are not so easy to get. If it were for official blockbusters, I'm afraid it would have been collected by the museum a long time ago."

　　 Yang Jing nodded, did not speak any more, but continued to watch.

　　 After a while, Yang Jing gently closed the book and said to the boss: "Boss, this book is not bad, how much can you give me?"

The boss said: "Brother, you have also seen this. Although this book is a clear blockbuster, it cannot be compared with the Ming and Song editions, but the quality of my book is top-notch. Don't talk about the clear edition now. Books, even books from the Republic of China, don’t necessarily have such a good appearance. So if you want, take five thousand away."

　　 Yang Jing heard this and shook his head slightly and said, "Boss, the price is high."

　　 "Not high, not high. This is a clear block copy from the Kangxi period with such a good appearance. Although it is not an official block copy, the price is definitely not high for this book."

Yang Jing smiled and said: "Boss, if this book is really a block-printed copy from the Kangxi period, even if it is a family block-printed copy or a block-printed copy, I will take the price without saying a word. It is a pity that your book is not Kangxi. If I read the engraved edition of the period correctly, this book should be from the period of Guangxu."

　　 "What? From the Guangxu period? Impossible! The author of this book is definitely from the Kangxi period. How could it be from the Guangxu period?" The boss was a little worried.

　　 Yang Jing said: "Boss, you are professional in rare books of ancient books. You should know that judging the true origin of a book can't be judged by the author alone, but you must know the characteristics of the block copy in the early Qing Dynasty, right?"

The boss nodded and was about to say something. Yang Jing didn’t give him a chance to speak. Instead, he opened the book and pointed to the words on it and said: “The typeface of the block copy from the early Qing Dynasty is still from the late Ming Dynasty. The style is rectangular, straight, thick and thin. It was only after Kangxi that "writing style" and "simulation Song style" began to prevail. As for Daoguang, the font of the block copy began to become dull, known as "craftsman style" in the world. You look at the font of this book~lightnovelpub.net~ Do you think this font is the style of the late Ming Dynasty?"

"Although you can be sure that the author of this book is Juren in the forty-two years of Kangxi, the font of this book is dull and has no spirit at all. It is the typical craftsman style of the late Qing Dynasty. How could such a block copy appear? During the Kangxi period? Such typefaces would not even appear on the block-printed editions of the Yong-Qian period."

　　 When he said the following passage, Yang Jing had been looking at the shop owner. Sure enough, Yang Jing clearly caught the panic in the shop owner's eyes.

　　 At this time, Yang Jing was completely aware of it.

If Yang Jing’s judgment is good, the shop owner should know that this book is a block copy of the late Qing Dynasty, but the shop owner doesn’t know where to get a cover, and then uses the method of stealing the beam and changing the post to change the cover to this book. On the book.

　　 There are so many things in this area now in the antique industry. This boss is still a bit conscientious, at least he got a copy of the late Qing Dynasty. If you change to a black-hearted boss, you might be fooled with books from the Republic of China.

　　 If you change to a customer with a little bit of basic skills, and see that the author is from the Kangxi period, and the book is a block copy, you may ignore the font in the surprise.

　　 After all, even the artisan style characters are not very different from the writing style or imitation Song style of the Yong-Qian period. Only those who are proficient in this aspect can see the difference between them.

　　 The shop owner saw that Yang Jing was so sure that he knew that he had met an expert, so he smiled bitterly and asked, "Then how much do you want to pay?"

　　 Yang Jing smiled and raised a finger...

　　PS: I would like to bow to thank you for the rewards of "The Lights See Others", "Ice Town Octave", and "Ziyan Tianjiao" 100.
