In many ancient books of the Warring States period, some jewels and jade that glow at night are often mentioned. For example, Jia's Notes: "There are beasts like chasing, holding the night pearl, and its light is like a candle?" Warring States policy? Chu Yi: "Are you afraid of rhinoceros by offering chickens?" What is the luminous light of the king of Qin? "Han Dong Fang Shuo's Ten Countries on the Sea:" In Zhou Muwang, the West Lake presented Kunwu with a jade knife, and the luminous cup was always full? ..... The cup is made of white jade essence, and it shines at night? "Are these rare treasures fictional or real?
The luminous pearl was also called "luminous wall" in ancient China? "Luminous stone"? "Flash Stone" is said to be an extremely rare treasure in the world, which can emit strong light at night?

Whales die without eyes, so they can learn. Is it called luminous? " In recent years, some scientists think that they may be some special gem minerals? According to geologists, there are a few minerals in nature, such as some diamonds with impurities? Apatite? Barite? Fluorite? Scheelite? Zircon and crystal are stimulated by external energy, such as heating? Friction? Electricity and ultraviolet light? Will short-wave light such as X-ray or cathode ray produce luminescence?
Joseph Needham, a famous British scholar, recorded in his magnum opus History of Science and Technology in China that ancient China people loved the Syrian-made luminous pearl, nicknamed "Peacock Warm Jade"? It is said that some people in India call the Night Pearl "Snake Eye Stone"? According to the gemological records compiled by Japanese gemologists Ling Mumin 19 16, Japan's luminous pearl is a special red crystal, which is known as a "sacred gem"?
There is also speculation in our country that some gems can be exposed to the sun during the day and glow at night? The ancients may have processed these things into round beads or other shapes. Is this the luminous wall or luminous bead recorded in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign legends or historical books? According to "Hebei Science and Technology News" 1984, light brown fluorite was found in a mineral processing zone in Guangdong Province, which confirmed that the luminous pearl recorded in historical books does exist. Does it exist in China? But these luminous minerals need to be stimulated by external energy in advance, which is different from that described in ancient books? Do you have any jewelry that can shine without glowing? It is said that after the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, there was such a night pearl in her mouth?
Don Wang Han's "Liangzhou Ci": "Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa right away?" How many years has it been widely praised? It is impossible to prove when and where the luminous cup first appeared. In recent years, Jiuquan, Gansu, the hometown of Liangzhou, has also produced luminous cups. The raw materials are collected from Qilian jade, which is called noctilucent stone by some people. However, all kinds of Qilian jade belong to rocks and don't shine at night? Someone pointed out that today's luminous cup is not an ancient luminous cup? But some people think that the ancient luminous cup itself can't shine? Then why is it called a luminous cup? There are different explanations. Some people say that the luminous glass has a thin wall, and when it is filled with wine, it reflects the moon, and the moonlight is poured into the glass, which reflects the wine through the wall, which is a strange brilliance. So it's called luminous cup or luminous cup?

Empress dowager cixi fled from Beijing to xi' an with emperor Guangxu, announced the policy of "measuring China's material resources and gaining favor from the country" and signed a "humiliating treaty" with the invaders? It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi tried to please the invaders? Send a little maid-in-waiting as a souvenir to the invaders with four precious night pearls? This little maid-in-waiting has patriotic feelings and is unwilling to give the seven treasures to foreign invaders. She was angry that she kept her wealth among people. No one knew her whereabouts at that time, which became a major unsolved case in modern times?
Decades later, four pearls were found in Xi 'an, which was verified by Comrade Guo Moruo? These are the four luminous pearls that Empress Dowager Cixi has treasured for decades? According to the news published in the newspaper, put these four night pearls in the drawer, "If you don't turn on the light at night, you will see dazzling white light all over the room when you pull the drawer"?
