In our ancient China, weapons are very important tools, all dynasties have never been indispensable to the entry of weapons, there are many famous weapons in history, such as the famous sword Yue Wang Gou Jian sword, fish intestine sword, etc., indeed the sword is very famous in ancient times, but in fact, the knife is also a very popular weapon, such as Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Knife, Cold Moon Knife, and even the Golden Silk Ring Knife in "White Brow Hero" and so on.
Nowadays, if any household still has such a famous sword in ancient times, then it is absolutely to make you rich overnight, but I guess you don't know what the cultural relics are, and a seemingly inconspicuous small object contains a rich cultural heritage, so everyone must remember to find something old, don't throw it away or destroy it, otherwise you may regret it when the time comes!
What we want to talk about today is the knife, and it is related to the Qianlong Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, Qianlong this person can be called the most envied rich three generations in ancient China, Kangxi Yongzheng left him with the grand Qing Dynasty, but he was squandering every day, and he also called himself what a "perfect old man", he was also drunk, Qianlong This person has a very big hobby, that is, he likes to collect cultural relics, and once he is looked at by Qianlong, he likes to take his own seal to cover, proving that it is his. This point seems to be similar to the sentence "Yan Zhao Ren clan, come here for a visit" left after the tomb robbers robbed the tomb, and the archaeologists of Qi gritted their teeth!
When Qianlong reigned, in order to show the reverence for the ancestors, he also specially ordered people to cast 90 waist knives, and now most of these waist knives are stored in our Palace Museum, these 90 waist knives took a total of 47 years to cast them all, it can be said that it is really a bloody capital, each of these waist knives is very valuable, what we want to talk about today is Qianlong's Tianzi Seventeen Baoteng waist knife, this Baoteng waist knife is not collected in the Forbidden City, on the contrary, it has been scattered in the folk.
The production of this Proton waist knife is very exquisite, of which the handle is made of Hetian jade, and there is a lot of gold and silver on the knife, and the knife is also gilded, look at the picture above to know that it is very exquisite.
And this Tianzi Seventeen Baoteng waist knife has experienced a lot, has been auctioned 3 times, the first time was in 2005 at a German company auction, the second time was in the 2006 Hong Kong auction, and the closest one was in the 2012 Nanjing Guardian Autumn Auction, and later it was auctioned for 48.3 million yuan.
Indeed, this price is an astronomical number for most of us, a Qianlong knife can sell tens of millions, which is really incomprehensible, at that time it was also very speechless, some netizens said that now a set of Beijing courtyard unit price is basically 80,000-300,000, and the smallest is also 300 flat, so this Tianzi Seventeen Baoteng waist knife can buy up to two sets of courtyards, if it is a good geographical location, it is estimated that the maximum set, the area is larger, it is estimated that it is far from enough!
