Lin Yi never thought that two simple things were just to make him show his face in this Temple of Wealth.

A grid book that takes thousands of yuan.

Identify a manuscript of eight thousand yuan.

One shows his unique vision, and the other shows that he is so knowledgeable that more and more people are surrounding him.

At this time, a book collector from Anhui rarely met a noble person like Lin Yi, so he took the initiative to come forward and told Lin Yi with a humble attitude that his surname was Su. He had just entered the industry and was a small boss of a dairy company. He had never studied much since he was a child. He gave milk to others when he quit school, so he was particularly envious of those scholars.

Later, he worked hard to do so, from delivering milk to establishing a dairy factory and developing dairy products of his own company. Now his assets are 70 to 80 million, which is a small achievement.

After his career was successful, he wanted to fulfill his childhood dream, but he became obsessed with collecting books halfway through, especially liked to collect antique thread-bound books. However, because he didn't know how to learn books, he was trying to get a lot of attention in the process of buying books. Often, people took a sack of ragged thread-bound books, and he shot them all, and the price given was basically 100 yuan per book. In his opinion, these books were hundreds of years old, and not much of them were given. Later, when he met his colleagues, they realized that the market price of such thread-bound books with different tastes and no content was at most 30 yuan per book.

Boss Su poured a lot of bitterness at Lin Yi, saying that he had already struggled with the collection of online books for almost three million. He had a lot of money, and the most valuable ones were more than 300,000, and the rest were almost all waste paper. So he couldn't understand whether there were any tricks for collecting online books for online books, and which ones were worthwhile?

When Boss Su was asking for advice with integrity, the others around him felt the same, and took his mobile phone to Lin Yi and started recording videos. Anyone who plays old books will go from ordinary books to online books and rare ancient books. The knowledge on this is greater, and the money you invest will be more. It is no longer the small-scale quarrels in ordinary books, but it is a bit like buying and selling antiques. It is very deep and can easily "drown" people.

Lin Yi didn't want to say too much here, but Boss Su looked very earnest, and the enthusiasm of everyone around him, so he explained that the collection of ancient books first, the quality of the books is bad, and the value of the worm-eaten or broken is immediately 50% off. Secondly, look at the content, the four books and five are often seen, and the classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and collections often say, and these are classified as ordinary books, even if they have hundreds of years, they are not of great value. Finally, we need to look at the version, which belongs to the engraved, printed, lithographed, or the calender of which book hall. This is very important, and it is even divided into palace books, official books, workshop books, etc. These require you to have some knowledge to understand.

To put it bluntly, these three most important points in the collection of ancient books: quality, content and version.

After listening to it, the people around him seemed to understand it. Boss Su also frowned. Lin Yi also knew that saying so much would not have much impact on him. After all, he was not well educated and could not have been exposed to too much knowledge of ancient books. Even if he was working hard now, he would probably not be able to figure out any of them.

But then, Lin Yi pointed out Boss Su who loves to study and collect books, that is, not all ancient books are thread-bound books, so you should look a little more open.

Speaking of which, in many costume dramas today, whenever a scholar reads, no matter which dynasty, he always holds a thread-bound book. In fact, ancient books were not all thread-bound. The binding of paper books was mainly divided into various forms such as whirlwind, folding, butterfly, bag-back and thread-bound.

The initial binding method was whirlwind, which was to use a long strip of thick paper slightly wider than the page of the book as the bottom, and then the first page of the page was glued to the end of the scroll. All other pages should be clamped with blank spaces at the right end without words, and the blank space at the end of the home page should be stuck in a slight blank space. When you open and read, you can turn it page by page; when you don't use it, you can roll it up from beginning to end. When this binding form encounters wind, the paper page will fly with the wind, like a whirlwind, so it is called whirlwind. It looks closely, whirlwind does not deviate from the previous legacy of bamboo slips and silk book scrolls, but it has made great progress in protecting the pages and readers' retrieval. It is the initial form of the transition from scroll to album.

There were also folding forms that appeared in the same era as the whirlwind packaging. At that time, people wrote on a long strip of paper. After writing, they folded them repeatedly and folded them into a rectangular folding form. The front and last pages of the fold were the cover and back cover of the book, and were pasted with hard board paper or thin wooden boards of equal size. Because the Buddhist scriptures of the Tang Dynasty and Taoist scriptures used this form for a long time, people called it folding. This binding method completely changed the scroll-packing form of bamboo slips and silk books. It was more scientific than scroll-packing in refurbishment, text protection and bookkeeping, and was a regular album binding method.

"Ming History - Yiwenzhi" records: "The books in the Secret Pavilion are all left by the Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, and they are all exquisite. The decoration is folded and the surroundings are outward, so insects and rats cannot be damaged." This article talks about a book binding form called butterfly package. The appearance of butterfly package is closely related to the invention and widespread use of woodblock printing. This binding method has been used until the Song Dynasty. The process is: each page printed on the woodblock is based on the side with characters, folded face to face, folded into a square stack in the order of words, and poked it together, stick it with paste on the back of the page, and then use a piece of hard and thick paper as the front and back cover. The book bound in this way is opened and spread on the table like a butterfly spreads its wings, so it is called a butterfly package.

Butterfly dressing also has disadvantages. First, because the pages of the book are folded with words and folded face by face. After reading, the two sides are turned over in half, and they have to be turned over again before they can continue reading, which brings some inconvenience to reading; second, the glue on the back of the book will inevitably fall off after a long time. At this time, the pages are spread out, which also brings inconvenience to use. In the Yuan Dynasty, people improved this binding method and turned into a bag-back package. The biggest difference between a bag-back package and a butterfly dress is that the pages with words are folded outside, and the butterfly dressing is used as the back of the book, and the folding seam is used as the mouth of the book, and then a whole piece of paper is stuck around the back of the book to serve as the cover and back cover. This binding form has been used until the Ming Dynasty, such as the famous "Yongle Encyclopedia" adopted the bag-back package binding form.

The thread-bound books that became popular in the middle of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the most advanced book binding technology in history. The thread-bound is the same as the bag-back package, but it is different from the bag-back package. It cuts the cover into two thick sheets of paper that are the same size as the page, one in front and back, and is stamped at the same time with the book page, and is combined and fixed in a neat manner. Then it is tied with thread-bound books. The thread-bound books are not only easy to read, but are not easy to scatter. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also economical and practical. Therefore, it has been popular until the beginning of the founding of New China. Even today's photocopy ancient books, this binding method is often used.

...

Lin Yi's words are much more "professional". Those who know some knowledge of ancient books certainly understand the specific meaning of Lin Yi's words. As for those who are confused like Boss Su, who dive into the ancient books market after taking the money, and catch newcomers who buy online books in a crazy way, they can't understand it. But the more this happens, the more everyone feels that Lin Yi is knowledgeable. Look, we can't even understand what others say. So applause sounds again.

Seeing this, Lin Yi knew that he had said too much, and the other party was afraid that he would not be able to digest it. When he didn't know how to "quit", he heard a greeting: "Brother Lin, it turns out that you are really here, we're so hard for you!"

It looked like the big bald Cao Yidao, coach Huang, and Guo Zixing came over excitedly.

As a friend who is not many around Lin Yi, Cao Cao is a kind of slut, and he can talk all day long; Guo Zixing is a kind of worldly-wise person who has feelings and righteousness, but also pays attention to interests; Huang is a typical veteran, silent and silent, not talking but loyal.

Lin Yi valued these three friends from the bottom of his heart, so no matter how dirty Lao Cao was, he could tolerate it.

In fact, if you have had too much contact with Lin Yi, a person as dirty as Lao Cao can avoid having feelings for Lin Yi, otherwise you would not have been hit on the head when you meet a robber. To put it bluntly, Lao Cao is the kind of person who has a very stinky mouth but still has a very upset heart. Otherwise, if you don’t talk about Lin Yi, coach Huang would beat him up.
