    The four treasures at the head of Ruyi, plus the three treasures at the handle, and the Dharma wheel at the end of the handle, are the eight auspicious objects. These are the eight treasures of Tibetan Buddhism, eight objects that symbolize the power of Buddhism.  Most of the porcelains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were decorated with the eight auspicious signs, but it is rare to see them reflected in Ruyi jade.  As expected, this piece is a rare and huge piece of work, with exquisite workmanship and royal temperament. Judging from its coating, carving and other characteristics, it should be a fine work from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.  The most rare thing is that this Ruyi is in perfect condition, with no bumps at all. It is the best among the best, and it has to be admired from the bottom of one's heart.  Seeing that everyone present had no doubts about this, Zhao Qirui sighed: "What a beautiful jade!" Then he bowed his hands to everyone and said: "Please give me this treasure, I would like to thank you in advance."  With this being the case, everyone will certainly give Zhao Qirui face. Besides, only Zhu Dafu and Zhao Qirui are the only ones here who have the ability to buy this Ruyi. Zhu Dafu has already obtained a set of furniture before, and he will definitely not fight anymore.  After Zhao Qirui thanked him, he turned to Uncle Li and said, "Mr. Li, I really like this Ruyi. Please give me a real price." Seeing this, Uncle Li felt happy and thought for a while and said, "Since this  If you really like it, I won't be pretentious and will give it to you for two million." "Two million, of course, if the jade Ruyi of this kind is sold at auction, it may be more than this, but normal sales are still a bit expensive.  , but "asking for a high price, paying back on the ground." Although the price offered by Uncle Li is not a high asking price, the price still has to be paid back.  Zhao Qirui thought for a while and said: "Mr. Li, this jade Ruyi may cost more at auction, but it won't be too big if you go there. In this case, I will give you a real price, 1.6 million, do you think it will work?"  ?¡± Uncle Li thought for a long time, and 1.6 million was okay, but no one would think it was too much, so he raised the price and said, ¡°1.6 million is a bit low, how about 1.8 million?¡±  " Zhao Qirui frowned, thought for a while and said: "Let's get a discount price of 1.7 million, okay?" Uncle Li thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, just as you said.  Let¡¯s do it.¡± Next, the colorful lotus pond with mandarin duck pattern lying on the foot bowl was sold to Uncle Wu for 65,000 yuan, and everyone was happy for a while.  At this time, Zhao Xueyi said to Uncle Li: "Mr. Li, after so many years of collecting, do you have any good treasures that can open our eyes?" Uncle Li smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm really sorry, everyone.  I have given several exquisite pieces to my friends." At this point, he paused and said, "But if you want to talk about an object with high artistic value, I have another one here. I just hired a few masters.  The palm eye is somewhat controversial, do you still want to read it? " When Uncle Li said this, everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they all expressed that they wanted to open their eyes.  About five minutes later, Uncle Li walked in holding a blue and white jar. When he first arrived at the door, everyone was deeply attracted by the blue and white jar in his arms. When he put the blue and white jar on the table  , when everyone saw the whole picture of this blue and white jar, they all took a breath and turned to look at Uncle Li.  Uncle Li seemed to have known everyone's reaction in advance, and said with a smile: "This jar is 22.4 centimeters high and 28 centimeters in diameter. It is a blue and white entwined branch pattern jar from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone had not yet heard of it.  After reacting, Qian Changxing couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Li, are you ready to do it?" After seeing Mr. Li nodding, he put on his gloves, picked up the blue and white jar and looked at it carefully, and finally used a magnifying glass to take a closer look.  After looking at it for a while, he put it down and said excitedly: "This blue and white jar is obviously a first-class item. Mr. Li, is there something wrong with the master you hired before?" Although this sentence affirmed this item,  The blue and white jar was valuable, but it was uncomfortable to hear. Uncle Li frowned when he heard it, and Zhao Qirui simply pulled him aside.  After that, Uncle Wu and others came forward to appreciate it one by one. Zhao Xueyi felt that there was no problem after reading it, but after Uncle Wu and Zhu Dafu looked at it, there was a little doubt in their eyes.  Finally, Chu Chen put on his gloves and began to carefully observe the blue and white jar.  Gloves are also a common tool in the antique shop. We know that many antiques are very precious and delicate. Human hands have bacteria and moisture, which is not conducive to the preservation of antiques. Wearing gloves can play a protective role.  ¡°And the gloves Chu Chen wore had tiny latex particles on them, which could prevent slipping and prevent the antiques from being broken into pieces.  As soon as Chu Chen got hold of the blue and white jar, he couldn't help but admire it in his heart. ? Blue and white porcelain, also known as white ground blue and white porcelain, often referred to as blue and white, is a ChineseOne of the mainstream varieties of porcelain is underglaze colored porcelain.  Blue and white porcelain is made of cobalt ore containing cobalt oxide as raw material. The patterns are painted on the ceramic body, then covered with a layer of transparent glaze, and fired in one step with a high-temperature reduction flame.  Cobalt material turns blue after being fired, and has the characteristics of strong tinting power, bright color, high firing rate and stable color.  Primitive blue and white porcelain has emerged in the Tang and Song Dynasties, mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty, and blue and white porcelain became the mainstream of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty.  It developed to its peak during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.  Among them, the blue and white porcelain fired during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty is famous for its simple and elegant shape, crystal clear blue color, and colorful patterns. Its firing technology has reached the pinnacle of Chinese blue and white porcelain.  "Guangzhi Yi" written by King Shixing of the Ming Dynasty records that "the second kiln of Xuan (Xuande) and Cheng (Chenghua) is the best in this dynasty. The Xuan kiln is best for blue and white, and the Cheng kiln is for five colors." "Jingdezhen Ceramics Record" evaluates the porcelain of Xuan kiln as "  All the materials are exquisite, and the blue and white are the most expensive." Its artistic achievements are called "unprecedented in the Kai generation." Xu Zhiheng's "Yinliuzhai Shuo Porcelain" records that "the beauty of the Xuan kiln is the highest in the Ming Dynasty.  Xuanhuang is famous for its numerous inventions of blue and white and five-color wares, which are inherited by future generations" These comments all describe the pinnacle achievements of Xuande imperial kiln porcelain art.  This blue and white jar has a plain inner wall, with folded flowers on the neck, lotus petals on the shoulders and near the bottom, and the theme pattern on the belly is of peonies, camellias, lotus, chrysanthemums and other intertwining flowers. The lines are smooth and free, and the shape is beautiful.  people.  The pattern of entwining flowers painted on the belly of the jar is also called "Wanshou Vine" because of its continuous structure, which means "endless life".  The composition is sparse and natural, and the white space is appropriate, which avoids the common disadvantages of dense and cramped branches. The brushwork is delicate, and although it is exquisite, it is not weak, and the bold and heroic spirit of Xuan Qing is uniquely displayed in the combination of shades and light.  The glaze is warm and moist, and the precious light is inherent. It really has a sense of style that has lasted for hundreds of years and remains the same. It complements the beautiful blue and white flowers, which is the quality of fine porcelain.  The center of the bottom foot is glazed with white glaze, and inside the double circle of blue and white is written the six-character "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" in two lines of regular script. It is simple, vigorous and full of ancient charm.  It can be seen from this blue and white jar that the high evaluation of the predecessors is not false. It can also be judged that there is an 80% possibility that this jar should be a blue and white jar with entangled branches from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.  , and it¡¯s also a fine product.  ¡°But based on what Uncle Li just said and the doubtful looks in Uncle Wu and Zhu Dafu¡¯s eyes, Chu Chen guessed that there must be something inside, so he decisively used the magical weapon with supernatural powers.  After using the superpower, Chu Chen was extremely surprised. This blue and white jar was actually a high-defense piece, and it was also a high-quality imitation from the Republic of China period, which had to make him have a suspicion.  Then, he took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully inside and out, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.  Chu Chen carefully placed the blue and white jar on the table, and then gently shook his head towards Uncle Wu and the others.  "Ha!" Qian Chang laughed strangely on one side, and then said with a look of disdain: "Young people, don't be arrogant. It's obviously a blue and white jar with a wide door, but you actually say it's not real. Wu Ziping, I don't think so.  You'd better take him back and learn it for another ten or eight years, so as not to make a fool of himself." After hearing this, Chu Chen felt a little angry and said, "What is true is true, and what is not true is not true.  It's not like someone who is telling lies with his eyes open despite his old age." Qian Changxing was not angry. He laughed and said with a look of disdain: "Okay, since you are not telling the truth, then you should tell the truth.  Point it out for everyone to see." Chu Chen looked around, gave Uncle Wu and the others a comforting look, and then said to Uncle Qian, "Mr. Qian, do you mind if I say something?" Uncle Qian shook his head and said.  : "I definitely don't mind. To be honest, the problem of this blue and white jar has been bothering me for more than 20 years. I hope you can solve the mystery as soon as possible." Chu Chen nodded, then organized his words and said  : "You must have taken a closer look at this blue and white jar. It has a beautiful shape, very regular decorations, smooth lines, clear textures, a sense of cohesion, and a thick patina. From these points, it is a unique jar.  "We know that Xuande blue and white is fine, white and hard, but if you look at it, you can see with a magnifying glass that this blue and white jar is white with a hint of yellow."  At this time, Qian Changxing interjected: "Such a little bit of yellow is just a nitpick. What does it prove? What a joke!" Chu Chen glanced at him and said, "What are you in a hurry? Have I finished my sentence?  " Qian Changxing laughed and said, "Okay, go on and see if you have any ideas." Chu Chen shook his head and continued, "We'll talk about it later.As for blue and white materials, everyone knows that there are two types of blue and white materials: imported and domestic. Judging from the products handed down from the palace, imported materials are mainly used for depictions.  This imported green material comes from Persia and is called Suma Liqing.  " "The porcelain fired with this kind of green material is black and blue in color, deep and rich, with a naturally dispersed artistic effect. The color of the material melts in the glaze, as if it penetrates deep into the fetal bones. Silver-black crystal spots appear in particularly dense areas.  Under certain light, it has a tin-colored color, and the crystals are triangular, and the glaze surface is uneven when you touch it with your hands.  "
