Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 517 Here Comes

For example, jade, the choice of jade materials by Chinese people has always required warmth, delicacy, and elegance. From the perspective of visual effects, people can't even feel its hardness. However, jade materials are actually very hard among natural minerals. of.

However, translucent and bright materials such as agate, crystal, and jadeite, in ancient times, had to be made of jade materials. It was not until modern times that jadeite rose, but it was influenced by a minority woman and a Western-educated background. female influence.

In fact, it belongs to the non-Chinese mainstream aesthetics and the product of west wind and east wind.

After that, it formed a new reputation in China, which became very valuable.

Including the color of jade, the ancients used six colors to match six directions, and the most advanced jade wares for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth were Cang Bi and Huang Cong.

Later, yellow evolved into the color used by the royal family. Knowing that in the modern auction market, Hetian white jade is not the most sought after, but topaz, and the transaction price has repeatedly hit new highs.

The blue color was inherited by porcelain. From celadon porcelain from all over the world, it developed to the secret color porcelain exclusively enjoyed by the royal family, sky blue porcelain, emerald porcelain, and then changed into blue and white porcelain. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that a major breakthrough occurred and it became rich and colorful.

Therefore, the antique shop has developed an established trend, that is, things that have been sought after in history are also highly sought after today.

Blue and white porcelain, which will be hyped to the extreme in another 20 years, is an example.

Chenghua's chicken bowl cups and Tianzi cans are also the result of this trend and hype.

Mr. Zhang is still good to Zhou Zhi. At the same time, it is impossible for someone who is a craftsman to clearly prevent Zhou Zhi from selling these things to his employer. It is a criminal record that is sought after by people, and has great room for appreciation.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhi was not short of money. Knowing that Gang Yan Ermao had made Yuan Kewen so coveted, after making such a big effort to make a pair, he immediately realized that he had seriously underestimated his value before, and quickly corrected it.

Mr. Zhang asked: "I don't know about elbow, can you tell us where you got this set of little jade?"

"There's nothing we can't say about that." Zhou Zhi said, "There are a lot of Han Dynasty tombs in Jiachuan, but most of those tombs have been looted except for the tombstone reliefs, and the burial objects of the tomb owners have long since disappeared."

"But because of this, Jiachuan folks and villages have kept a lot of objects handed down from the Han Dynasty."

"The most amazing thing is that those Han tombs are not recorded in the history books. Even before the Tang Dynasty, the history of Jiachuan has only a few simple strokes. It is about Han Zhifu County and Tang Mengtong Yelang. Calculated from the route, Jiachuan should be the only way to go."

"There are historical records of celebrity deeds in the Jiachuan area of ​​the Sui Dynasty. It was the 19th year of Emperor Kaihuang's 60th year when the land god Liu Zhen practiced Taoism in Anle Mountain. According to legend, he once suddenly took the Taoist scriptures and bells he had collected, sealed them in the stone room, and predicted [-] years later. , when there is a sage king to take it."

""Taiping Huanyu Ji" records that he became a fairy and flew away. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent envoys to visit his deeds, and issued an edict to build Tengqing Temple, An Optimism, and Jing'an Temple; The chime is engraved on a stele in the mountains."

"And there are three giant trees in Anle Mountain. According to legend, the worm inscriptions on the leaves are like talisman seals, which are the 'hints' left by Liu Zhen to inspire those who are destined for future generations."

"However, after a closer look, Jiachuan was named 'Fu County' in the Han Dynasty. It is probably related to the legend of this 'Chongfu'. It's just that it is located in a barbaric place, so it cannot be seriously recorded."

"In the Tang Dynasty, there was a child prodigy Xianwang. This No. 1 imperial examination for Manzhou has historical evidence. He can be regarded as the first person in our local area to enter the annals of history."

"Jiachuan in the Song Dynasty was an important hub connecting the Minjiang River Basin and the Jialing River Basin in the Fourth Road of Chuanxia Road, and later an important town against the Yuan Dynasty. It was once prosperous. Therefore, there are many tombs and cultural relics in Jiachuan Song Dynasty."

"After the Yuan Dynasty, the development of Jiachuan became ordinary. Correspondingly, the preserved fine works of Wenwan were no longer abundant."

"So what we have the most chance to receive are Ming and Qing cultural and cultural miscellaneous items, porcelain; followed by Song Dynasty porcelain; followed by Han Dynasty bronze coins, pottery tile Ming wares, and jade wares."

"This set of small items is also a lucky one. I received it at an antique stall in Xianshi."

"The stall owner is not a person who knows the goods. At that time, these four things were mixed in a pile of seal carvings of Dushan jade, Xiuyu, Yazhou green stone, and Shoushan stone. They probably collected them at will and mixed them in at will. .”

"One five yuan, I spent 100 yuan to buy all the odds and ends for him, but except for these four pieces, the rest... are real odds and ends. I just gave it to my brother-in-law to play with."

"Yeah... I remembered! Last time, you found the Xinchao Dangshi punching money in Jiachuan!"

"The discovery of that coin was purely by chance. I went to a farmhouse that time, and my aunt took a dustpan of 'small coins' to pick out for me."

"Our locals use copper coins to make shuttlecocks and decorate key chains. They like to use Qing coins such as Qianlong Tongbao, which are thick and exquisite and complete in appearance."

"Song money and Han money are mixed, because the age is long, and the place is hot and humid, except for the string heart of the dry pit and some puddle goods, there are very few that can retain a good appearance."

"People in our area don't know much about coin collection, and they often don't pay much attention to these coins with deep rust. The five baht coin is worth ten. I picked it out from a pile of Chongning Tongbao. Fortunately, my aunt dusted it. There is a lot of money in the basket, and it is not the old money's turn to play, or it will be ruined..."

"100 yuan is exchanged for four pieces of Chinese jade to ward off evil spirits. You've missed it so much." Mr. Zhang laughed.

"In addition to the four small items, I brought a lot of things this time, let's take a look at those..."

Sure enough, as Zhou Zhi said, the remaining items are mainly Song Dynasty folk kiln celadon, Yuan egg white glaze, Ming blue and white, Qing Dynasty Wenwan miscellaneous items and a series of colored porcelain.

For each item, Zhou Zhi wrote the identification paper in lower letters and stuck it to the bottom, which saved Xu Gong and Mr. Zhang a lot of time.

Although except for a few pieces of Daoguang and Tongzhi porcelain that are official kilns, the rest are urban folk kilns, but they are all beautiful in shape, elegant in decoration, and in good condition, and they are all high-quality products in folk kilns.

These are actually some of the exquisite folk kilns that Zhou Zhi was reluctant to sell last time. When Zhou Zhi's collection was not high enough, he was always reluctant to sell it. Now that the collection is getting more and more high-end, there is no need to keep these small boutiques.

Although Zhou Zhi's current income is very rich every month, the mentality of "playing to support playing" has not changed much. Unless it is a heavy income, the general collection is still moving from the profit.

This is not only fun, but also a long-term solution. Otherwise, it would really be a game of "photography is poor for three generations, and literary play ruins one's life".

He was extremely humble, but when the things were placed on the table, everyone's emotions were lifted.

Lao Chai, Lao Wang and Lao Li looked at each other, good luck today, open your eyes!
