"Hehe, they said it belonged to Xu Hantang, but they don't know if it's true or not."

Seeing that Wu Chen was interested in the teapot, Lao Huang introduced it to him. Even so, Lao Huang was somewhat complacent.

"Is there anything else you don't know? Everything Lao Huang hides must be fake."

Huang's mother, who had been silent on the sidelines, couldn't bear his stinky fart, so she made a sarcasm at the right time. He has no problem with Lao Huang playing antiques. He is getting old, and it is always good to have a hobby. At home Playing antiques is better than those who play with women outside.And to be honest, although Lao Huang's level is stinky, her seriousness still makes her and her daughter feel very emotional.However, none of this prevents them from making fun of Comrade Huang at the right time, which has become a kind of fun in their family.

"What are you saying!" Lao Huang was very dissatisfied with his mother-in-law's behavior of tearing down the stage, but it was true, and it was not invented by Huang's mother, it was widely circulated in the whole circle.So Lao Huang's rebuttal was a little guilty.

"Hehe, from my point of view, this is really Master Xu's work." Wu Chen had already made up his mind, and carefully put the teapot down.

Xu Hantang is Gu Jingzhou's disciple and also a master of purple clay teapots. He is good at making all kinds of flower work. Acacia teapots like this are still rare.It's rare that Huang's father has raised it for so many years, it's bright on the outside and heavy on the inside, it's a good thing!

"Look, this expert is just different!"

After being affirmed, Lao Huang suddenly gained confidence, and he was confident, and almost blurted out the sentence "long hair but short knowledge".

Hearing the two of them quarreling, Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin smiled at each other, and then they flattered each other, and immediately became experts, which is too cheap.

"Hey, I won't tell you!" With so many bloody lessons in front of him, Lao Huang didn't quarrel with Huang's mother, even if he won, so what, it was purely to make himself feel uncomfortable.

However, his mood of presenting the treasure was not affected by Huang Ma at all. He asked Wu Chen to wait a moment, went into the study by himself, and after some tinkering, he came out holding a Guanyin statue in both hands. The flannelette was carefully put down.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Chen felt amused and relaxed a lot. He never expected that, as the founder and helm of the largest private company in the locality, Lao Huang and Huang Ma had no airs at all. It seems that Huang Xiaolin was right. That's right, at home, these are the two friends.

"Hey, you said you're fine, what did you invite the Bodhisattva to do!"

"Hey, you understand!"

Huang Xiaolin burst out laughing. It turned out that almost all the "antiques and cultural relics" in Lao Huang's room were fakes, and the only one that could be sold was this Guanyin statue that was still controversial in the eyes of experts.

This was taken at an auction when Lao Huang and Huang Ma went on vacation in Europe. When a bodhisattva was invited, after taking it home, he made an offering!

Wu Chen listened to Huang Xiaolin explaining the origin of this Guanyin statue to him with a smile, and secretly marveled in his heart, hard work pays off, and his future father-in-law may have found a treasure this time!

This white-glazed seated Avalokitesvara statue is about 20 centimeters high. It is simple and elegant, with smooth clothing lines, vivid expressions, and a lifelike image. , when people see it, they will feel fond of it, but there is no meaning of obscenity.

"How is it?" Huang Xiaolin saw that he was stupefied and thought that he was troubled by how to make up "white lies" to fool Huang Huang, so she lightly touched his arm, signaling that he should not force himself too much. To be honest, Lao Huang's endurance is strong enough!

Seeing Huang Xiaolin's gaze, Wu Chen knew that she was missing something. Zhanyan smiled at her, closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and said, "Uncle Huang, congratulations! You picked up a great treasure!"

What he said was serious, not like flattery, Lao Huang and others took it seriously, beamed with joy, and repeatedly praised Wu Chen for his good eyesight!

Huang Xiaolin squinted her eyes with a smile. She didn't doubt Wu Chen's eyesight, but she was amused by Lao Huang and wanted to hit him. On this point, she and Huang Ma have long been used to it, so she wants Wu Chen to be more careful. Take a look, but don't take your eyes off it.

"You can't be mistaken. This is the Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statue." Wu Chen said firmly. The eyesight during this period of time was not cultivated by Bai, otherwise he would not be able to pass the test of Mr. Liu, not to mention that the buddies still have The ability to cheat too!

"Dehua?"

As a layman who knew nothing, Huang Xiaolin asked a very simple question in a timely manner. To be honest, she didn't even know where Dehua was!

"Is it Dehua from Fuhai Province?" After all, Huang's mother is more knowledgeable than her daughter, and she knows this, and she also knows the porcelain produced in this place, but it seems that most of the porcelain produced is plain porcelain, that is, Porcelain on a white background.

Many foreign trade porcelain factories in the Chaoshan area source goods there. On the basis of white-bottomed porcelain, decals and strokes are added, and finally finished products are sold to Europe and the United States.

"En." Wu Chen nodded. The history and scale of porcelain production in Dehua County, Fuhai Province is second only to Jingdezhen.It's just because Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, until modern times, are basically sold overseas through Quanzhou Port, so the reputation in China is not big enough.It can be said that Chinese people's understanding of Dehua porcelain is not as popular as that of foreigners.

In terms of light transmittance, Dehua white porcelain is the crown of all porcelains. Dehua white porcelain is unique, and no one can compare with it.Due to its full characteristics, Dehua white porcelain has various names, such as ivory white, lard white, etc., and it is often called China white in foreign countries. Putting China on top of white porcelain shows that Westerners attach great importance to it.

"No, this is white porcelain, why does it look a little yellow?" Huang Xiaolin immediately found a new argument.

"This is the characteristic of ivory white. There is a yellowish feeling in the milky white, but this perception is obviously different from the real yellow." Before Wu Chen had time to speak, Lao Huang couldn't wait to join the battle. A lot of hard work, I read a lot of works by Ma Lao and others!

It's just that everyone didn't believe what he said, and they were waiting for Wu Chen to confirm.

"Uncle Huang is right. Glaze color is also an important feature for identification." Wu Chen smiled slightly. He didn't dare to get involved in the war between Lao Huang and his two daughters, so he changed the subject and said, "When it comes to Dehua white porcelain, it's the most important feature." There is nothing more famous than the works of He Chaozong in the Ming Dynasty!"

This He Chaozong, also called He Lai, was a master during the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty. Because the Guanyin he carved was not only a god, but also the embodiment of goodness and beauty in people's ideals, it produced a strong artistic charm, so later generations have "He Lai Guanyin" reputation.His porcelain sculptures were regarded as "unique treasures in the world" in the "East and West" market in the 16th century, and people "will not hesitate to fight for them with ten thousand gold".The porcelain Avalokitesvara he sculpts in various shapes shows its quiet, beautiful and soft charm with the delicate texture of Dehua porcelain and unique ivory white. In Japan and Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia, it is regarded as a sacred treasure by people. In his eyes, it is regarded as a "boutique of oriental art".

"Look, how fine the workmanship of this Guanyin statue is! This robe looks like a cotton texture, and the folds are well-defined, three-dimensional and real. This kind of brittleness of ceramics expresses the softness of the folds!"

Following Wu Chen's explanation, several heads gathered together, watching with relish, and even Huang Ma suddenly felt that this antique was not just useless, but rather touching.

This is also the reason why many outsiders watch the excitement. Most of the time, they are actually attracted by the story first, and then the more they look at the objects, the better they feel!That's why everyone in this industry on the street has a mouth, even a dull person like Wu Chen, once he gets caught up in this topic, he can't stop talking.

"Look again, this face, as well as the exposed neck and bare feet, are full of skin feeling. This is another expression of the warmth and moistness of the skin with the coldness of ceramics!"

"The more you look at it, the more crystal-clear it looks, and the water will come out when you pinch it. How do you do it!"

"Have you noticed that this Guanyin looks a bit weird?"

Mama Huang actually knows this Buddha statue best, and has seen more than Lao Huang, but she never participated in the discussions between him and the so-called experts before. It doesn't matter.

"It's a little different from today." Wu Chen nodded, explaining that Guanyin is an imported product. Before the Tang Dynasty, almost all males came out. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a transition period, when female appearance appeared, and The face is also getting fatter and fatter, and it was not until the Song and Yuan Dynasties that it was basically transformed into a female face.

However, in the age of He Chaozong, there are still imprints of changes in this aspect. In addition, He Chaozong's creations often endow more imagination and expectations. "The strong point is to subtly express the inner world of the characters, full of verve.While paying attention to the inner performance of the characters, they also pay attention to the appearance of the clothing patterns. The lines are clear, concise, chic, varied, soft and smooth, natural and round, and powerful.The images created have both common characteristics and different personalities, both form and spirit, and are full of artistic strength.

Of course, this kind of similarity and difference is only a very subtle difference, which needs to be carefully observed and grasped to be noticed, and it can be regarded as a feature that distinguishes it from new imitations.

"I've already said it! How could fake ones be auctioned at a world-class auction!" Old Huang said full of ambition.

Wu Chen was also noncommittal to this statement. As an important platform for money laundering, the auction is full of hacks!It's just that it's not good to say it in front of Lao Huang.So he changed the topic and asked them when they took the photo and how much they paid for it.

Lao Huang recalled it for a while, but he couldn't remember it clearly. It must have been more than ten years ago. At that time, he spent more than [-] euros to photograph it.Because it was Guanyin Bodhisattva, Huang Ma didn't have much opinion at the time.
