"Perhaps, go to Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple?"
At this time, Yu Feibai mused: "I heard it's very lively there, it might be good to try your luck."
"also."
Wang Guian nodded and said: "Anyway, there is no clear destination. Let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, just visit all the places of interest in Kaifeng City and then go back home."
"I think it's okay." Yu Feibai immediately agreed: "When the time comes, I can buy a few treasures and go back, which will be an explanation."
"good¡¡"
After making the decision, the two quickly settled down for breakfast, and after paying the bill, they took a car to the Daxiangguo Temple.
??If you have watched Water Margin, you will definitely be familiar with this place. Because the story of Lu Zhishen uprooting a weeping willow happened in the Daxiangguo Temple.
Of course, Water Margin is just a novel after all, and Lu Zhishen¡¯s story is just a novelist¡¯s statement and cannot be taken seriously. However, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Daxiangguo Temple was indeed the most prosperous and lively place in Kaifeng.
Of course, the current Daxiangguo Temple is not bad either. It is not only longed for by Chinese and foreign tourists because of its ancient and modern reputation, but also has become one of Kaifeng's Lantern Festival Lantern Viewing, Chrysanthemum Appreciation during the Double Ninth Festival, Bonsai Appreciation, Flower, Bird and Fish Expo and various cultural and entertainment centers. It attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists every day.
For example, now, it can be called the off-season for tourism, but in the Daxiangguo Temple, there are many devout pilgrims worshiping. Bustling and bustling, it was quite lively.
Speaking of which, the scenery of Daxiangguo Temple is quite good. The buildings in the temple are majestic, with carved beams and painted pillars, and are full of simple atmosphere. But it is a pity that these ancient buildings are not from the Northern Song Dynasty.
You must know that during the Northern Song Dynasty. Daxiangguo Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the country, covering an area of ??more than 500 acres. It has 64 Zen temples under its jurisdiction. Each temple has an abbot and is granted a title, with more than 10,000 monks. Important national events, such as the emperor's birthday prayers, family visits and the inscription of Jinshi scholars, are often held here, so Xiangguo Temple is called a royal temple.
Such a glorious history. It is probably the lifelong vision and dream of the monks of the modern Daxiangguo Temple. However, time has been merciless, and after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Daxiangguo Temple was severely damaged. Not only due to the weapon fire, but also due to the overflow of the Yellow River, the entire city of Kaifeng was flooded. All buildings were destroyed, and Daxiangguo Temple was naturally unable to survive.
The existing Daxiangguo Temple building was built on the original site with funds allocated by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is somewhat majestic, it is naturally far different from the glory and beauty of the past. It cannot be said in the same way.
Of course, the past and present life of Daxiangguo Temple has nothing to do with Wang Guan and Yu Feibai. The two of them were just wandering around the temple a little bored. Walked around for a while. The handful of incense in my hand was scattered. However, there was nothing gained. You must know that they are not just here to burn incense and worship Buddha, they also have other purposes.
After finding nothing at Daxiangguo Temple, the two of them walked out naturally. Then wander around the nearby streets.
"Look."
After walking for a while, Yu Feibai showed a smile on his face: "I knew it. There must be these street stalls next to famous scenic spots."
"You know it's a street vendor, so don't have any hope." Wang Guan kindly reminded that this is also true. It¡¯s not that there aren¡¯t good things at street stalls. In fact, many people pick them up from street stalls. However, we must also admit that the chance of picking up something missing from a street stall is very slim. One person in ten thousand is considered good.
"Don't hit people." Yu Feibai said dissatisfied: "Besides, how can you know the result before you watch it?"
While talking, Yu Feibai quickly stepped forward and came to the side of the street. He saw a row of various small stalls passing by. There are those selling calendars and books, and there are those selling Buddhist bead bracelets and peace charms, and there are a dazzling array of them. Naturally, there are some real and fake antiques among them. Some of them are real and fake, and some of them are real. As for whether they are real or fake, it all depends on the individual¡¯s discernment.
At this time, Yu Feibai squatted in front of a stall and ignored the stall owner's greeting. Instead, he was picking and choosing, but in the end he didn't like the one he liked.
"Boss, are there any other good things?" Yu Feibai asked simply, casually putting down a resin bracelet. As soon as you get started with something like this, you will know that the weight is wrong, not to mention the texture, and there is no gentle feeling at all. It is okay to deceive laymen, but it is still a thousand miles away from trying to fool a master of jade appraisal like him.
Of course, the title of Master Jade Appraisal was given by Yu Feibai himself. Whether others recognize it or not is none of his business.
"have¡¡"
?When the stall owner heard this, he nodded quickly. Who is setting up a stall and doesn¡¯t have something on the bottom of the box? And seeing that Yu Feibai was well-dressed and well-dressed, he knew at a glance that he was a man who was not short of money. Naturally, the stall owner did not doubt his financial ability and immediately took out a few things from the box next to him.
"It looks good."
At the right time, Yu Feibai looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but praise it. It¡¯s truly something that¡¯s at the bottom of the box, it¡¯s really extraordinary. Although it is not a treasure, the quality is indeed very good.
??Especially a jade ornament with a monkey sitting on a horse. Although the jade material is not very good, the carver is relatively experienced, and the strong tendons of the horse and the scratching expression of the little monkey are quite vivid.
Of course, the meaning of jade ornaments is also very auspicious. If there is a monkey and a horse, it means that you will be ennobled immediately. For people in the system, this is a relatively good sign.
Although Yu Feibai is not an official, he still has some fondness for this jade ornament. Perhaps to him, as long as it is good jade material and the carving craftsmanship is not bad, it is a good thing and worth collecting.
At this time, the stall owner also saw Yu Feibai's intention, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity, and quickly started selling the jade ornaments non-stop, praising the jade ornaments as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.
At the same time, Wang Guan also strolled over, but ignored Yu Feibai's bargaining with the stall owner, and even walked a few more steps to a nearby stall.
Unlike the stall where Yu Feibai is, the items displayed at this stall are much simpler. Wang Guan looked down and saw that the stall was full of pieces of porcelain, broken into pieces with no pattern at all.
Looking at these broken pieces of porcelain, Wang Guan also felt something in his eyes. Speaking of which, the first time he made a move, he bought broken porcelain pieces, and then unknowingly, he slowly grew to the point where he is now.
¡°Brother, come and take a look.¡±
At this time, the stall owner of the broken porcelain pieces also greeted him warmly: "You may not think that things are broken, but they are still valuable. Do you know the famous collector Jian'erbai in Beijing? He started with broken porcelain pieces, and then built a big museum ¡¡±
Hearing this, Wang Guan smiled, then squatted down and looked at the broken porcelain pieces casually.
At first glance, Wang Guan couldn't help but frown slightly. It was normal for the broken porcelain pieces to be very broken, and Wang Guan didn't take it seriously. But now that these porcelain pieces were not only broken, but also very dirty, he became a little suspicious.
Whenever he sees a situation like this, Wang Guan knows that there must be something wrong with something. You must know that even if most of the broken porcelain pieces are unearthed and naturally dirty, they must have been cleaned when they were taken out to set up a stall.
After all, in the porcelain capital, where antiques gather, there are many broken porcelain pieces for sale, but those broken porcelain pieces are very clean, and even emit a sharp luster, giving people a pleasing feeling.
However, these porcelain tiles are now very old and have some dirt on them, which makes people not want to look directly at them. If someone with mysophobia were here, they would definitely stay away.
Of course, Wang Guan also understands why these broken porcelain pieces are so dirty. Speaking of which, these are also some old tricks that cannot be put on the table. After all, in the eyes of the world, real antiques must be very old, but ordinary stall owners don't know how to make things old, so they have to deliberately make things stolen.
This kind of little trick may seem okay to laymen, but in the eyes of real experts, it is simply not worth mentioning. On the contrary, it will make experts feel disgusted and preconceptions that something is wrong. After all, only bad things need to be covered up with dust.
Wang Guan felt like this now. He picked up a piece of broken porcelain and wiped it with his fingers. The dirt and dust on the surface of the porcelain piece were easily wiped away. Seeing this situation, Wang Guan was even more certain that the thing was really not that good.
"What are you looking at?"
At this time, Yu Feibai also came over, but there was a jade ornament in his hand that was about to be enshrined. Apparently after bargaining with the stall owner, he finally bought the item.
"Porcelain pieces."
At this time, Wang Guan said casually: "Broken porcelain, not very good broken porcelain."
"Not very good. That's a euphemistic way of saying it. In fact, I didn't say that the thing was bad. It can be considered that Wang Guan has cultivated his oral ethics."
"Um."
Yu Feibai glanced at it, but agreed: "It's really not that good."
"You two guys, don't talk nonsense. These are good things. I traveled thousands of miles and went to the porcelain capital to carefully select them." The stall owner must have argued: "They are definitely of high quality and worthy of collection. .¡±
However, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were unmoved. Both of them were considered veterans. How could theyThe stall owner changed his mind with just a few words. And the stall owner also understood this and took out the things at the bottom of the box.
This stall owner is not slow either. When doing business, he keeps an eye on all directions and listens to all directions. He has already noticed Yu Feibai spending money to buy jade ornaments. Now that I saw him walking over, how could I turn a blind eye? Of course I wanted to seize this opportunity and make a business deal.
To be honest, after realizing that the broken porcelain pieces on the stall were not very good, Wang Guan lost interest and was about to get up and leave. But when he saw the stall owner taking out the things at the bottom of the box, he became more curious. Naturally, He looked around.
"Huh!"
After taking a look, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little surprised.
Although I knew that the things that the stall owner could seriously put in the box must be good, I didn¡¯t expect that not only did they look good, but they also had a sheen as clear as jade
