How do we assess the value of the collection and the market price of ancient medical manuscripts
I. Source flows and age of book formation: determining the fundamental coordinates of scarcity
The value of the handwritten copy of the ancient doctor's book is first anchored in its historical coordinates. According to china's general register of chinese medical doctors, there are fewer than 100 copies of the previous ming generation's medical records, of which only 23 are explicitly written by south song to the beginning of won. They are found in the national library, the shanghai library and the japanese library of jingka. Qing dynasty descended, and as the examination was flourishing, the medical staff was rehearsing, but the exact copy of kang hee to kuen long's early (1662-1750) was of great documentary value. Most of the copyings during this period were carried out by a doctor or a bookkeeper, with paper in open paper, paper in history, heavy ink and tight. For example, the national library, in the 42 years (1703) of the collection of typhoid typhoid typhoids by the wu huai-chui yai, the author of the book, wang shedsby, was based on a system that had been used in the united states of america, with three separate school languages. The years were determined to be combined with multiple evidentiary chains such as avoidance, paper fibre microanalytic analysis (e. G., the palaeonium protection laboratory of the central science institute can detect platinum levels in bamboo paper), and ink tracks, 14 years of carbon (+30)。
Ii. Status of copywriters and academic heritage: giving the text ideological weight
Whether the author has a background in medical practice or an academic hierarchy directly relevant to the reliability and depth of interpretation of the text. The market premium is significant for those who come from the royal medical service, the hospital, the local medical establishment or the medical family. According to the compilation of historical information of the chinese academy of medical sciences (1955-2020), a copy of a copy of the text of the text of the book “the warn disease resolution”, written by jiangsu's medical doctor, mape, during the year, containing 137 articles, was taken by paulie in beijing in 2021 at a cost of $4. 12 million, well above the average cost of the ordinary clean-up book for the same period (approximately $12180,000). It is worth noting that the copy, which is accompanied by the subject area, the stamp, the collection, etc., needs to be examined in order to prove its source of possession: for example, the old treasurer of the “song house”, the “haegen palace”, the “coron sword house”, which, as a result of the systematic collection of medical records by recent collectors, constitutes itself a credibility endorsement of the version. Data from recent auctions show that a medical copy with a clear collection of bookstores traceable back to one of the four largest collections of books, with an average premium of 210 per cent。
Text integrity and calibration quality: core indicators affecting the effectiveness of academic use
The practical value of a handwritten copy depends on its content authenticity and structural integrity. Wrecks, missing pages, errors and omissions have significantly diminished value. According to the testing standards of the ancient premises of the chinese academy of medical sciences, the valuation is increased by more than 40 per cent for the complete preservation of the original book areas, catalogues, body parts, attachments and parts of the back five; if there is a clear blackmail (e. G., mistook the cuisine soup as a cuisine cuisine and the “inch” as a “village entrance”) and there are no authoritative corrections, it is considered a low-quality copy. It is a matter of concern that some of the copies, although unnamed, have been repeated by the doctor - in the case of the national library's collection of qinghuang guang dynasty for 23 years (1843), dr. Li zhuang, a copy of the sakai sakagi, a total of 1,204 entries were made on the page of jumo, 317 of which were cited in song yuan dynasty, which was reviewed by the china book office point group and was corrected by error to 89, and the average cost of such “reading copies” amounted to $650,000 in a book in the autumn of 2023 by the west indies。
Iv. Material transports and contexts: presentation to the test of the time
Paper, ink, frame making is the key physical evidence of dissipation and forgery. Ming dynasty used more sack paper and leather paper, which became popular in the medium term, while high-quality paper (produced in zhejiang and containing more than 30 per cent of sauerkraut) was classified as gin paper in the kuang dynasty, with less than 1. 7 per cent of the total inventory available. The analysis of the ink composition of 56 clean medical transcriptes by the ministry of science and technology of the miyagi court shows that the words of the ink-smoking and gel-squirting have remained intact for hundreds of years, while most of the industrial blacks are duplicated by the people. With regard to frame-making, the dress of the butterflies applies to the song yuan medical certificate, and the line-up runs in mingqing; if you see a gold jade suit (the liner is thicker and the foot of the sky is wide and wide), it is mostly made by the qing palace or the royal palace, such as the copy of the royal medicine house in shenyang, for which the value is over $3 million in 2020. The extent of frame break-ups also directly affects the valuation: over 15 per cent of the infested area, water stains cause ink stains to become invisible, usually at a value of over 60 per cent。
