Speaking of the night pearl, I think everyone is familiar with the rumors and legends of the night pearl. In some Xianxia costume film and television works, the night pearl is often mentioned, and the precious night pearl will also be contested by heroic swordsmen and thieves as the best treasure in the world. In history, the night pearl is actually a priceless treasure that only emperors and royal nobles can enjoy. What's so wonderful about a night pearl that people can't get tired of seeing it?
It turns out that this kind of night pearl is a crystal-clear green pearl, just like a little star in the night, emitting strong light and like human eyes, so full of vitality and hope. In ancient times, when the royal nobles died, some nobles would put the night pearl in their mouths as funerary objects to symbolize the supreme rights and status of the royal family.
What is the night pearl?
The mysterious night pearl in history is actually a kind of gem. It is an extremely precious ore formed by the crustal movement caused by the change of geographical environment, which leads to volcanic eruption, volcanic magma spewing out from the surface and then gradually gathering underground. After the miners' digging and digging, and then carefully cut and polished by skilled craftsmen, it is finally the priceless treasure in our eyes-the night pearl.
So, as an ore, where does the uniqueness of the night pearl come from? This is probably related to a special substance produced by the unique birth of the night pearl.
According to the different materials and textures, the night pearl can be roughly divided into two categories: one is made of animal luminescent materials, just like fireflies that glow in nature; However, most of the unearthed night pearls are made of some special mineral materials. Some heavy metal impurities contained in the night pearl are used as catalysts to catalyze the chemical composition of phosphorus in the night pearl, so that it has the ability to shine at night.
The arduous excavation journey of the huge night pearl
In 2004, Zhao Sheliang, a native of Baoji, Shaanxi, was a businessman specializing in jade transfer. Because of some difficulties in business, the supply of goods is about to run out. Zhao Sheliang and his friends invited him to explore Lop Nur, Xinjiang, and opened up a helpless choice to find jade mines.
I searched in Lop Nur for several months, but I didn't even find a small piece of jade. This is the jade that my friends saw after several months of wind, rain and sun, but they found nothing. They advised Zhao Sheliang to go back to Baoji, Shaanxi to make plans, but Zhao Sheliang was stubborn. He didn't want to leave Lop Nur, Xinjiang. He always wanted to find jade and didn't want to give up easily.
At this time, many of his friends have left Zhao Sheliang and returned home, leaving Zhao Sheliang alone. But Zhao Sheliang still had no choice but to return and gave up. Stubborn Zhao Sheliang refused to go back and wanted to go to Altay, Xinjiang to see if there was a chance to get jade.
This time, instead of looking around aimlessly, he directly invested and contracted an abandoned mine, and most of the mines have been mined and excavated. Zhao Sheliang, as a stubborn young man in Shaanxi, will not come back until he finds jade that is valuable for collection and sale, no matter what others say or say. Coincidentally, he really discovered precious minerals.
As workers continue to dig deeper, some smaller jade and fluorescent stones have been dug up. The quality of the unearthed ore is getting higher and higher, and the workers who are mining together are also in high spirits. Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheliang took the lead in leading the workers to dig into the deepest part of the mine. Finally, he was lucky to find the huge luminescent ore hidden in the deepest part of the mine, and spent several days removing it bit by bit from the deepest part of the mine. This kind of ore emits a charming emerald green light under the sun's netting.
After careful measurement by workers, this jade-like green stone weighs 6 tons, and its texture is warm and soft, which can emit bright jade-like green light in boundless darkness. Even if there is no light in the room, the handwriting on the book can be seen clearly. This is really a real and priceless giant night pearl. Zhao Sheliang was very happy to see this giant bead, so he quickly asked a skilled craftsman to carve it carefully for another three years, and finally polished it into a round, bright green sphere with a diameter of 1.68 meters.
Juzhu sky-high price
This huge luminous pearl is also called the largest luminous pearl found in the world. This luminous pearl was first exhibited in Baoyu Palace, Wenchang, Hainan, on 20 10. In addition to domestic media reports, many foreign media such as Australia, Canada and Malaysia rushed to report. At that time, it was a sensation, and experts also identified this night pearl, reaching a sky-high price of 2.6 billion yuan. However, even with such a high valuation, no one cares about this night pearl. This man later showed it around with this night pearl.
The priceless treasure in Cixi's mouth.
In fact, when it comes to the night pearl, there is also a night pearl that goes out the most. This night pearl is not only priceless, but also witnessed the writing and great changes of history. This luminous pearl is in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi of Qing Dynasty.
The reason why the Qing Dynasty withdrew from the stage of historical giant screen was related to a woman's role in the harem to some extent. This woman is the Empress Dowager Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty.
Although Empress Dowager Cixi was a veritable head of state of the Qing Dynasty before her death, she was not only stingy, but also very selfish about what she liked. Since the night pearl is a rare treasure in the world and she loves it very much, she will hold it in her hand for a long time. Even if she dies, she won't let outsiders take her heart.
It is precisely because of this that Cixi made a will before she died, ordering people around her to put this night pearl in her mouth and give it to her as a funerary object. Because only in this way, her favorite night pearl will not be taken away by others and will always belong to her Cixi.
It is a pity, however, that although the personal courtiers around Empress Cixi did do according to her photos after her death and asked her to put this night pearl in her mouth, she still failed to put it in her mouth. Because her mausoleum was once plundered by warlord Sun Dianying, all the rare treasures such as the luminous pearl buried in Cixi's coffin were spared, and all of them went into the pocket of warlord Sun Dianying.
A big jasper night pearl has a warm and moving round appearance, and this night pearl can also contain the spiritual charm of the whole country and nation. Although it is not rich in the world, and it is difficult for people to find it, each one contains its unique and mysterious meaning and secrets. The night pearl, a priceless treasure symbolizing mystery and brilliance, is indeed a piece of jade worthy of people's play and careful collection.
