It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of Professor Tang's house.

At noon, she drank a little wine with aunt Gao, and gege's little face looked particularly charming.

Originally, Yang Jing wanted to send Ge Ge back to let her have a rest. As a result, the girl said nothing and insisted that Yang Jing accompany her to finish visiting the other half of the campus. As a result, the two people strolled directly until it was getting dark.

Ge Ge's grandmother called and asked her to take Yang Jing home for dinner in the evening. When Yang Jing came to pick up Ge Ge in the morning, the girl told her grandmother.

So in the evening, Yang Jing had dinner with Ge Ge's grandmother. However, there were only three of them at dinner. Gege's mother and aunt didn't come back. Gege's uncle and family were out of town, so only the three of them ate the meal together.

Ge Ge's grandmother obviously liked Yang Jing very much. Yang Jing also liked the cheerful old lady. She said a lot of words, old and young. Yang Jing didn't leave until more than 9 p.m.

Of course Yang Jing wants to bring Ge Ge out, but the girl has a tender face and doesn't follow Yang Jing out. However, Yang Jing has to guard the empty room alone

Under the unbearable loneliness, Yang Jing simply launched the "restricted space-time shuttle" skill and ran to the Chaotian Palace at 3 a.m. on July 10, 1982.

Chaotian Palace is not only a famous tourist attraction in Jinling, but also the largest antique market in Jinling. The so-called "Panjiayuan in the north and Chaotian Palace in the South" is enough to prove the popularity of Chaotian Palace antique market.

However, in 1982, the Chaotian Palace antique market had not been established.

However, near Chaotian Palace at this time, ghost city is very famous.

As far as the ghost market appears sooner or later, the ghost market in Yanjing can't catch up with the ghost market in Chaotian Palace.

How long has the ghost market in Chaotian Palace been around? There is no way to study this, but one thing can prove that the ghost city of Chaotian Palace existed at least in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. In the notes of Mr. Gu Qiyuan during the Wanli period, there is a record of "in the moonlight of Jinling City".

In the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the ghost market in Chaotian Palace became more prosperous. At that time, the teahouse on Pingshi street was the main place for the old and young of the former Ming Dynasty to trade their treasures.

These descendants of the former dynasty had a good face and were unwilling to trade in the ghost market like those tufu sons. Therefore, they talked about business in this relatively elegant teahouse. Gradually, Pingshi street became the most prosperous antique market in that era.

However, with the rapid decline of those old and young, the prosperity of Pingshi street soon ceased. More people still move around Shuiximen, Mochou road and Tangzi street, and the trading time is also postponed from dusk to dawn.

At that time, the name "ghost city" was rarely called, but "black market". Before dawn, "it was dark, people were black, goods were black, and prices were black". Thieves, second-class traffickers, old and young... People of all shapes and colors gathered here at the darkest time of the day. Stolen goods, fake and shoddy goods and other items were used everywhere, becoming the most chaotic area in Jinling City at that time.

Later, after the founding of the people's Republic of China, the name of the black market was too ugly, and the name of "ghost city" passed from the North was more appropriate, so the black market near Chaotiangong gradually recovered into the earliest "ghost city".

But if we want to talk about the origin of the name "ghost city", it is said that it can be traced back to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the local folklore of Jinling, it is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, he passed by a Taoist temple during his visit in micro clothes. This Taoist temple was the later Chaotian Palace. He ate a bowl of plain noodles for pilgrims and praised it. After returning to the palace, he also asked the imperial kitchen to make it. Who knows, the imperial kitchen can't do it. When empress Ma sent her little eunuch to the Taoist temple to check, she found that plain noodles were originally cooked in broth. The Taoist priest didn't say anything about killing life, but also made the uninformed pilgrims confused and open meat. Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he ordered to kill a group of Taoists in the Taoist temple.

Later, after a night market was formed around Chaotiangong, many stall owners found that the money in hand was fake. What's more, these fake money were all ghost coins burned to the dead!

At first, the stall owners cursed the unscrupulous curfews one after another. Later, it was thought that many Taoists had "clicked" here. Some people suspect that this is the intersection of yin and Yang. On Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival, children and grandchildren filial piety paid some paper money. Those Taoists killed by Zhu Yuanzhang naturally couldn't spend it during the day. They came to Amoy it at night and spent the filial "money" of these children and grandchildren

The stall owners couldn't see it at night, but the next morning, when the ghost coins saw the sun, they naturally took shape. So the name of "ghost city" quickly spread

This legend is a little scary, but it can well explain the origin of the "ghost city".

Yang Jing went to college in Jinling for four years. During this period, he came to the Chaotian Palace antique market countless times. Naturally, he has heard these legends about the Chaotian Palace ghost market more than once.

Although this legend is a little scary, Yang Jing doesn't believe those things at all. Especially when Yang Jing was in college, he heard many people say that there were some good things in the ghost market of Chaotian Palace in the early 1980s, and who spent more than ten yuan to buy some old things with big doors

The ghost market is fun, which is almost the same as the truth, whether in the ghost market in Yanjing, Chaotiangong, or even in the early ghost markets all over the country.

Especially in the 1980s, the ghost market of that era was synonymous with "fun", "old objects" and even "big door"!

Yang Jing, the ghost city of Panjiayuan in Yanjing in the 1990s, has personally experienced it. There are many old objects and fun ideas that make people stunned. But Yang Jing has never felt the ghost city of Chaotian Palace. Therefore, since she is lonely tonight, it's better to go back to the past and find some good things.

Jinling's winter is very painful. Yang Jing doesn't want to be frozen early in the morning, so he simply chose the hottest season in July. At least in the early morning of summer, the weather is still more comfortable and most suitable for Taobao.

The place where Yang Jing crossed was set outside the south wall of Chaotian Palace. In the 1980s, the Chaotiangong antique market had not moved to cangxiang, Anpin street and Nanyi back street. Chaotiangong West Street, located in the west of Chaotiangong, was the most prosperous antique market at that time, and the ghost market was also on this northwest southeast street.

In 1982, there were no high-rise buildings near Chaotian Palace. In this era, it was all bungalows. Moreover, the spacious Chaotiangong West Street in later generations is now a small road less than ten meters wide.

Yang Jing adjusted her appearance to more than 30 years old, and then walked out of the trees on the south wall of the Chaotian Palace. Even if someone saw it, he thought he had just finished there

The sky is dark and you can't see anything, but it should be bright in more than an hour.

Yang Jing soon walked to Chaotiangong West Street, but to Yang Jing's slight disappointment, it was far inferior to Panjiayuan ghost city in 1994. At least the number of people who set up stalls or buy things is far less than that in Panjiayuan ghost market.

But it's relieved to think about it. Now it is 1982. In this era, not many people dare to venture out of the ghost market, even not many people come to visit the ghost market.

In fact, since the period of the Republic of China, the area from Hanzhong Road to Chaotiangong has become the largest antique trading center in Jinling. Later, antique trading was still concentrated on Mochou Road, Chaotiangong West Street and Tangzi street. It was not until the mid-1950s that the government transformed it, stipulated that it could enter the market only at dawn, and took measures to prevent thieves from selling stolen goods. Although people used to call it "black market", in fact, most of the connotation of "black" has been lost, and the black market has gradually become a secondary market for ordinary waste goods.

Later, in that turbulent era, the powerful "broken four old" appeared. In that era, let alone antique trading, even second-hand goods trading had no living space. It was not until the end of the 1970s after the end of the chaotic era that the previous antique market was gradually restored in Chaotiangong West Street. Similarly, ghost market also appeared.

However, up to 1982, the scale of ghost city here is still not very large. Those traffickers or antique lovers also sneak in and come in the dark. But at this time, there are still many good things in the ghost market here. Unlike a few years later, it has become a professional used book market

Yang Jing was attracted by a stall after walking in the ghost city for a short time.

With the help of the dim battery light on the stall, Yang Jing can see that the floor stall is full of colorful porcelain.

However, these porcelain are very different from the porcelain familiar to Yang Jing in terms of color and shape.

This peculiar shaped and brightly colored porcelain immediately attracted Yang Jing's interest, which soon made him squat down in front of the stall.

Yang Jing was puzzled by the shape and color of these porcelain. It was really hard for him to remember when the color of porcelain could be compared with those in front of him.

If we compare the porcelain fired by the Chinese ancestors to elegant ink landscape paintings, then these porcelain in front of us are like brightly colored oil paintings

In addition to the color, the types of these porcelain wares are also very different from those of any dynasty Yang Jing has ever seen. Although these porcelains look very beautiful, they seem to lack an atmosphere and stability. It seems that there is a feeling of "drawing a tiger instead of a dog".

After staring at these porcelain for a long time, an idea came into Yang Jing's mind.

"Are these porcelain..."
