Na Mingsheng continued to introduce: "The other three Buddha statues, the main Buddha Sakyamuni, sit full lotus on the lotus platform, Kassapa and Ananda stand sideways behind them, with seven mandala flowers spread all over their bodies. There is a Bodhisattva on the left and right. The base leans over the lotus platform with full lotus petals. The bottom is engraved with a double dragon pattern and three dragon claws, and the center is engraved with a demon-subduing pestle. The Buddha statue has exquisite craftsmanship, precious materials, vivid and realistic expressions, and elegant and smooth lines, showing superb level of craftsmanship.¡±
At this time, someone asked: "Sir, are these three Buddha statues also from the Qing Dynasty?"
Na Mingsheng smiled, pointed at the Buddha statues and said: "Boss Li asked well, these three Buddha statues are actually not from the Qianlong period, but are works from the Yuan Dynasty. When my brother first discovered them, they were also installed in a Buddhist niche. Among them, it was just that the owner accidentally broke the Buddhist niche. After my brother invited him back, he placed the Buddha statue in this Buddhist niche."
The man nodded, indicating that he understood.
Na Mingsheng looked around: "Does anyone else have any questions to ask? If not, please come over first."
Next, after everyone has finished appraising one by one, the auction begins. The starting price this time is even higher than one million. Of course, in terms of market value, this price is not expensive, so there are strong competitors. Quotations started one after another.
Meng Zitao felt that these Buddhist cultural relics were very good and had typical representative significance, so he also competed for them, and finally they were purchased by him for 14.7 million.
During this period, although Ren Xitong also wanted to get involved, he did not have enough funds because of the painting he took before. After all, not everyone has as much cash as Meng Zitao. Therefore, after being frightened once by Meng Zitao, he died down.
After the auction ended, everyone settled with Na Mingsheng one after another. Meng Zitao then contacted Meng Zitao to pack the things and fly them home directly, so that he no longer had to worry about their placement.
These things waste a lot of time, no one has eaten, and their stomachs are already growling with hunger.
So, the group of people quickly found a restaurant to eat.
While everyone was talking about what happened just now, Yu Ming's phone rang. After answering the phone, his face became a little unhappy.
"Brother Yu, what's wrong?" Meng Hongchang asked.
"That villain Ren Xitong actually ruined my reputation and said that I was cheating on me!" Yu Ming was very angry.
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Those who are pure will be clean themselves, don't worry about it. Of course, you can also reciprocate with courtesy and let him suffer a loss."
"What?" Yu Ming asked quickly.
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "That painting by Ding Yunpeng just now."
"Ah! Is there something wrong with that painting?" Yu Ming was shocked.
Meng Zitao nodded: "Ding Yunpeng's figure paintings in his early and middle years are similar to Li Gonglin's line drawing style in the Song Dynasty. His coloring works mostly present a workmanlike and elegant style, characterized by round and strong brushwork. In his later period, he worked for Mingmo Engineering Junfang and Fang Yulu painted ink models. Inspired by stereotyped knife techniques, their brushes tend to be stiff and the process of using the brushes is multi-faceted. The painting style is more hard and deep than the printmaking style, and tends to be clumsy."
"In addition, the creative peak of Ding Yunpeng's Buddhist paintings was in his later years, such as "The First Patriarch of the Three Religions" painted in 1599 when he was fifty-two years old, and "The Picture of Sakyamuni" painted in 1604 when he was fifty-seven years old. , "Bodhisattva Teaching the Sutra" and "Venus Fuhu" made in 1606 when he was fifty-nine years old, and "Three Teachings Picture" made in 1616 when he was sixty-nine years old."
"Comparing the painting styles of the above five works with the previous hand scroll, you can find that the charm and brushwork between them are more or less wrong. If you are familiar with the original works, you will feel that they are not in place, and the calligraphy There are also some problems above"
Meng Zitao talked eloquently and talked about some problematic areas.
¡°Because Meng Hongchang and Yu Ming had both seen the work, and then retrieved the photos of the original work from their mobile phones, and with Meng Zitao¡¯s guidance, they immediately discovered the problem.
Some friends may think that all those experts have problems, but that is not the case. The antique world is not that simple. For example, if someone goes to an expert with questionable character to identify the authenticity of something, he will first ask about the object. Where did you buy it? If it is a seller who has a relationship with him, he will say that the item is genuine, and then go to the seller and say that your item has been appraised by him, and the seller will definitely pay a sealing fee.
"You deserve it!" Meng Hongchang laughed and said suddenly: "I said there was something wrong with his face. It turns out there is something wrong with the painting! Hey, that's not right, he should alsoIf you know there is something wrong with that painting, why do you still participate in the auction? "
Yu Ming immediately thought of the reason: "He probably wants to trick us."
Meng Zitao laughed and said: "This is called stealing chicken but not feeding rice."
Everyone laughed.
When Yu Ming knows about this, he will definitely make a fuss about it, otherwise it would not be his style to just let Ren Xitong go.
After dinner, Meng Zitao took out a piece of jade and placed it in front of Yu Ming.
Yu Ming picked it up and looked at it: "This is the jade xuanji you bought earlier. Is there any problem?"
Meng Zitao said: "Have you seen anything wrong with this jade jade?"
"No?" Yu Ming and Meng Hongchang shook their heads after seeing it and looked at Meng Zitao with doubts.
Meng Zitao smiled slightly and said: "This jade jade has two distinctive features. First, its outer edge has four groups of jagged ridges with the same shape and rotating in the same direction. There are each ridge between the ridges. There are four sets of saw teeth with six teeth in one set. Each set of ridges and saw teeth forms a set of high-crowned human faces, which is really rare. The four sets of faces are equidistantly distributed. Its geometric shape is very dynamic, harmonious and rhythmic."
"Another difference from other jade jade is that the hole in the middle is very distinctive. It is not round like other jade jade. Look carefully to see if it looks like an animal."
"It looks a bit like a reptile. Could it be a lizard?" Meng Hongchang said.
Yu Ming said: "Yes, I think it looks like a lizard too. If it is indeed a lizard, what does it represent?"
Meng Zitao nodded: "This is exactly what I am confused about."
Lizards have been known as "earth dragons" in ancient times. Lizards are called chameleons, which means they are "happy", which means prosperity and peace. Lizards were also auspicious animals in ancient times, symbolizing wealth and continuous happiness. The ancient reputation of the lizard as "Luan" has the meaning of being alone in the world, making a lot of money, ensuring peace, everything going well, and having a successful career.
But this was derived later. What the lizard meant at first, especially what it represented in the era when this jade jade was made, was a mystery. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
