"Emperor Jade! Horse Steps on Flying Swallow!!!"

Fang Mutian's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw, because these two things were simply legends, they only existed in legends, how could they appear so clearly in front of his eyes?

Ma Ta Feiyan, everyone has learned such a text when they were in elementary school, and they are all familiar with it.Ma Ta Feiyan, also known as Ma Chao Longque and Bronze Ben Ma, was made around 220 AD. It is a bronze ware of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is 34.5 cm high, 45 cm long, and 13 cm wide. His wife was buried together in the tomb, which was unearthed in 1969 and is now in the Gansu Provincial Museum.

The horse treading on the flying swallow has a vigorous and handsome image, with a unique style. The horse holds its head high and neighs, its trunk is strong and its limbs are slender, its legs are light and hoofed, its three feet are flying in the air, galloping forward, and one foot is stepping on a dragon sparrow.A huge horse steps on the back of a galloping sparrow, and the little sparrow turns around to watch in surprise, showing the majestic posture of a horse soaring in the air and running fast.

Its bold conception and romantic technique give people a thrilling feeling, which is amazing.The artist ingeniously uses lightning-like moments to vividly express a brave and vigorous Pegasus horse galloping through the clouds, reflecting the spirit of striving for progress and boldness and enterprising in the Han Dynasty.

This work is not only ingenious in conception, but also exquisite in craftsmanship. It not only focuses on expressiveness, but also has realistic shapes. When measuring the bronze galloping horse according to the standard scale of a good horse described in the ancient "Xiang Ma Jing", almost no part is out of scale, so Some people think that it is not only an outstanding work of art, but also the French style of Soma.

The bronze galloping horse is vivid in shape, exquisite in casting, accurate in proportion, and the movements of its limbs conform to the action habits of the horse. Many archaeologists and artists at home and abroad are amazed.The galloping horse is neighing with its head held high, its feet are prancing, and its hoof is stepping on a flying swallow. From a mechanical analysis, the horse stepping on the flying swallow has found the center of gravity for the flying swallow, resulting in stability. It embodies the vigorous and heroic posture of the horse and the fast-moving expression, and gives people rich imagination and appeal. It has both a powerful feeling and a moving rhythm. Horse riding on flying swallows is also a wonderful work of Chinese bronze art.

The moment Fang Mutian became a master of appreciating treasures, many cultural relics and antiques, no matter domestic or foreign, relevant information appeared in his mind. No one in this world knows the research of ancient relics. Can be compared with him.

Looking at the situation inside the stone sculpture, Fang Mutian's breathing became a little short. The horse galloped extremely vividly. Only its right hind foot landed on the back of a sparrow that was flying with wings. The thick and round body of the horse showed its strength. Its strength is so light, but its movements are so light that people seem to forget that it puts its whole body weight on a small dragonfinch with just one foot.

The horse is neighing, its mane and tail are fluttering in the wind, full of pride of "a horse flying in the sky". The true reproduction of the verse "Fly"!Needless to say, no matter the performance of its spirit, or the brilliant casting technology, what is even more convincing is the wonderful creative concept.

As we all know, it is not too difficult to create an image of a good and healthy horse, but it is not so easy to express its dynamics in a still life, especially to express the speed of a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day However, our unknown artists are able to use their own ingenuity, boldly and exaggerately ingeniously conceive, so that the right heel of the horse steps on a swallow flying in the air.

The ancient Chinese craftsmen combined realism and romanticism with rich imagination, exquisite conception and skillful craftsmanship to perfectly combine galloping horses and flying birds, and set off the speed of flying birds to set off the image of galloping horses. Super fast, vivid in shape and ingenious in conception, it integrates the unruly momentum of galloping horses with the flat and stable mechanical structure. Its vigorous vitality and indomitable momentum are the symbols of the Chinese nation.

What made Fang Mutian even more unbelievable was that the inside of the stone carving was not a bronze vessel, but a jade carving. The entire Horse Stepping Swallow was carved out of jade, and this jade was rare imperial jade among jadeites.

The grade of jadeite depends on the species first, and then the color. In people's perception, the best species of jadeite is the glass species, and the best colors are imperial green, blood beauty, purple eyes, supreme yellow, and smurfs. Wait, but what people don't know is that among the jade, there is another kind of jade, which is colorless, clear and transparent, giving a clean and bright feeling, and its texture is better than that of glass, that is imperial jade.

The imperial jade appeared once in history, and the time it appeared was 2000 years ago, that is, during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Fang Mutian learned from the information obtained that the piece of imperial jade at that time was taken by a high-ranking official in the dynasty. The powerful minister got it, and then ordered someone to secretly carve it into a horse stepping on a flying swallow, but just after the carving was completed, before this work had time to be published, it ended without knowing where it went.

At that time, this incident became an unsolved case, and many people were unwilling to believe it. Over time, it became a legend, and until now, few people believe it.

Ma Tiaofeiyan, plus God Wang Yu, the combination of the two, I am afraid that its value is that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is not inferior to that of Shibi, but the meanings of the two are different.

You must know that the imperial jade horse stepping on the flying swallow is more difficult to carve than the bronze horse stepping on the flying swallow, and the imperial jade horse stepping on the flying swallow in front of you is not simply carved out of jadeite. It's so simple. According to the data, when carving it, a very special technique was used, which made this jade carving very extraordinary.

Taking a few deep breaths, Fang Mutian slowly recovered the excitement in his heart. Although it was hard to believe this fact, the Emperor Yuma Tafeiyan was so real in front of him that he couldn't allow him not to believe it.

Fang Mutian's shocked expression just now fell into everyone's eyes. Seeing him staring at the stone sculpture of a horse riding a flying swallow, Yang Kunshan asked, "Brother Fang, do you still like stone sculptures?"

At the same time, he also took a serious look at the stone sculpture. This stone sculpture was carved according to the bronze ware, but its proportion is larger than the bronze ware. The stone sculpture is only an ordinary work, but it looks a little It's old, but other than that, there's nothing special about it.

For Fang Mutian's strength in antiques, Yang Kunshan has already regarded him as a master.Therefore, Yang Kunshan was a little puzzled, how could such a stone carving make Fang Mutian lose his composure?Could it be that there is something special about it that I haven't noticed?

Yang Kunshan took a closer look, but he still didn't think there was anything special about it. There are many such stone carvings on the market now, and it's not difficult to buy them, and the price is not high.

Yang Kunshan was puzzled, and so were the others. Dong Rui frowned slightly, while Fatty and the others were curious, did he find that this stone carving was a good thing again?

Fang Mutian cursed secretly in his heart, blaming himself for being too careless just now, so as to attract the attention of others, he smiled and said: "I love the national treasure of Ma Tafeiyan very much, and I have always wanted to go to the Gansu Museum to see it. Look, but I have to go to school, so I don’t have time to come, so I’m very surprised to see such a stone sculpture in the original shape of a horse stepping on a flying swallow.”

Yang Kunshan and the others nodded, not doubting Fang Mutian's explanation. After all, everyone likes the bronze ware of Ma Ta Feiyan, and the stone carving is also average, so there is nothing special about it, so I believed his words.

Immediately, Fang Mutian asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this stone sculpture?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "Brother, you really have vision. This stone carving is from the period of the Republic of China. If you want it, you can take it for eight thousand."

"Eight thousand?" Fang Mutian's expression suddenly became strange when he heard this.

But Yang Kunshan stared, how could such a stone sculpture cost eight thousand?Even if it is from the period of the Republic of China, it is not so expensive. There are many such stone carvings in the market, and 800 yuan is enough. The stall owner actually wants [-] yuan.

Yang Kunshan guessed right, this stall owner is indeed slaughtering them, just now Fang Mutian bought the Qing Qianlong Blue and White Cave Shi Rui Beast Round Straight Bottle, such a super leak has been spread in the ghost market, and this stall is far from the previous one. The stall was not far away, and the stall owner had already noticed them.

Such a group of people, including Yang Kunshan, who is important in the antique world, and the rich young lady Kuo, if they don't kill them, who will they kill?

The stall owner nodded and said: "Eight thousand, not even a penny. Little brother, look at how well the stone carving is. The galloping horse is neighing, its mane and tail are fluttering in the wind, and the sparrows under its feet are panicking. It seems natural, such a carver, plus it was a product of the Republic of China, is it eight thousand expensive?"

"It's not expensive at all." Fang Mutian smiled and nodded.

Fang Mutian's answer stunned the stall owner. He originally thought that this guy would be too expensive, but he didn't expect him to say that it was not expensive at all. Could it be that the price he offered was too low, and it was really not expensive at all?

But Yang Kunshan on the side was a little anxious, but he didn't understand the rules of the antique shop, so he could only worry on the sidelines.

"In that case, little brother, do you want this stone carving?" The stall owner felt a little regretful, but he couldn't sit down and raise the price, otherwise he wouldn't be able to have any other business tonight.

"Yes, of course, how can you not? This is 8000, you order." Fang Mutian took out a wad of money and handed it to the stall owner without hesitation, let alone [-], even [-] million, he would have no hesitation Take it down, this is a national treasure, how can you let it go?

The stall owner took the money in a daze, did he really buy it?It wasn't until Fang Mutian and Fatty moved the stone sculpture to his side that the stall owner came back to his senses.

"You count, if the money is not bad, then this stone sculpture is mine." Fang Mutian said.

The stall owner nodded, counted carefully, eight thousand and one cent were quite a lot, and said, "It's exactly eight thousand, little brother, this stone sculpture is yours."

Yang Kunshan shook his head when he saw that Fang Mutian had paid and the business was completed.

At this moment, Fang Mutian felt excited and excited, and said to Yang Kunshan who was shaking his head beside him: "Old Yang, I won't accompany you anymore. I have already gained a lot tonight, so I won't go shopping."

Yang Kunshan nodded. Although he didn't know why Fang Mutian spent [-] yuan to buy this stone sculpture, he did gain a lot tonight. He said, "Okay, give me your phone number, and let's chat if we have a chance."

After telling Yang Kunshan the phone number, Fang Mutian and the others bid farewell to Yang Kunshan's father and grandson. The stone carvings are not small and heavy. They were carried by Fang Mutian and Fatty, and the blue vase was held by Xu Min. The group left the ghost market .
