Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Everyone came to Duan Xuefeng's office. After Manager Tao asked Chu Chen and others to sit down, he quickly made everyone a cup of tea.  After everyone chatted for a while, Duan Xuefeng hurried over, apologized to everyone, took out a box from the small room in his office, put it on the coffee table, and opened it.  Everyone took a closer look and saw a bronze gui placed inside.  Seeing this, Zhao Qirui said in surprise: "Xuefeng, where did you get such an exquisite bronze gui?" Duan Xuefeng said in confusion: "Is this thing called a bronze gui? I really don't know!" Zhao Qirui  Hearing this, he couldn't help but dumbfounded, and said: "I asked you whether you are really confused or fake. You don't know what this thing is, so why would you buy it?" Duan Xuefeng chuckled and said: "Others promised me this at the beginning.  The thing must be genuine. If it is not genuine, you can go to him to return it. At that time, I thought it was good and I bought it without asking much. I thought the price was right. If it is convenient for you, please explain to me what the bronze gui is.  Whatever it is, please open my eyes.¡± Zhao Qirui said speechlessly: ¡°You guy, I really don¡¯t know what to say about you. Xiao Chu is here today, so let him tell you, and I¡¯ll appreciate it first.¡±  As he spoke, he took out a pair of gloves, carefully took the bronze gui out of the box, and observed it carefully.  Chu Chen chuckled, took a piece of paper on the side, and said while writing: "Brother Duan, actually the name of this thing is just one word, called Gui. Gui originated from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and is a daily necessities.  The function is the same as our current plates and bowls, which are used to hold food. " "This thing is also called Lian in the literature. It is usually used together, and they are both used for banquets.  It is used for enjoyment and sacrifice, and the quantity is a sign of rank. In other words, this thing is used by nobles and not by ordinary people. Those who own Gui must be high-ranking officials. " "Gui usually appears with a tripod.  Single Gui and double Gui, the emperor used nine tripods and eight Gui, the princes used seven tripods and six Gui, the ministers used five tripods and four Gui, etc. Therefore, in ancient times, Fu and Gui became the name for high-ranking officials. When officials in ancient times were dishonest in government, "Fu and Gui are not decorated."  "Euphemism refers to his greed." "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Fugui also meant that this person had great talents. Someone once asked Confucius to evaluate Zigong. Confucius said: He is simply Hulian (Fugui). He thinks that Zigong  It's very useful." After hearing Chu Chen's introduction, Duan Xuefeng couldn't help but said happily: "That means I was planning to give this thing right, right?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Yes, that's right.  "But the price of this Gui is about one million, right?" Duan Xuefeng raised his thumb when he heard this and said, "No wonder Brother Zhao praised you for your good eyesight in appraising antiques. I did spend a hundred on this thing."  I bought it for 100,000 yuan." Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Brother Duan, it's just that practice makes perfect. But it's a good thing you didn't give away such an expensive thing." Duan Xuefeng was slightly stunned and said, "Why.  ?¡± ¡°Xue Feng, I think you are really stupid. All these years have been wasted.¡± Zhao Qirui put down the bronze gui in his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. Liu Haoran is Mr. Liu¡¯s son. Who is Mr. Liu?¡±  "Taishan Beidou, as the son of Lao Liu, do you think Liu Haoran will not know the price of this bronze gui?" Hearing this, Duan Xuefeng immediately understood what Zhao Qirui meant. If he took this bronze gui?  Giving it to Liu Haoran has two consequences. One is that Liu Haoran accepts it even though he knows the price, and both parties are happy. The other is that it arouses Liu Haoran's disgust.  And Liu Haoran¡¯s style is just like his name, he is upright and upright. It was precisely because of this character that he was chosen as a high-ranking official who served as a disciplinary inspector. With his character, it was impossible for him to accept such a valuable thing.  Moreover, the Liu family is not without money. Not to mention Mr. Liu, Liu Haoran¡¯s wife runs a large international company in Lu City. Why would he need to give someone a hand for such a thing?  A bright future hides a hidden danger.  By then, not only would Liu Haoran not accept the gift, but it would also arouse his suspicion, and he would probably fall into the embarrassing situation of "losing both his wife and his army".  Thinking of this, Duan Xuefeng couldn't help but feel scared.  "Xiao Chu, I really need to thank you this time, otherwise I would be in really bad luck this time. In this way, I will treat you to dinner tonight." Chu Chen said quickly: "How can this be" "Xiao Chu,  Don't refuse. If you hadn't happened to come over today, I really wouldn't have thought of this. I wouldn't care, but my brother's political career would be ruined. I must treat him to this meal, Xiao Chu.  Just don't argue?.  " Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said: "Okay, what's the point of arguing about the treat? Let Xuefeng do what he should do as a landlord this time. Next time, can you treat Xiao Chu again?  Now, you'd better come and take a look at this Gui.  " There is really nothing to argue about. Chu Chen smiled and nodded, then put on his gloves, picked up the bronze gui, and observed it carefully. " This bronze gui is about 15cm high, with a round mouth and slightly curled edges.  The mouth is also called a wide mouth, and its shape is generally an outwardly inclined mouth. The Gui ears are symmetrical with four drooping ears. The abdomen is deep, the abdominal wall is slightly arcuate, and the base is rounded.  Decorated with animal facial patterns, the body of the Gui is decorated with fine ribs, with two string patterns on the upper and lower sides, and the belly is decorated with a breast nail pattern. There are four groups of gluttonous animal facial patterns on the circle foot, with ridges in the middle. The meaning of eating is self-explanatory.  It consists of two symmetrical bent Kui dragons. The Kui dragon has a slit, a single horn, a high arched back, and a curled tail. The animal ears are made from the Gui body. The Gui body is connected to the four ears. There are protruding tenons on the top and bottom. The animal ears are hollow and just in line with the protrusions.  The tenons are joined together, and the casting method is very exquisite. The four animal ears are rectangular and have drooping ears. The animal head on the upper part is like a cow head, with round eyes on the sides of the ears, and the lower part of the animal ear is decorated with an animal face pattern.  There are small bird patterns outlined by negative lines on both sides, and there are two vertical grooves on both sides of the ear. The four animal ears are connected to the body of the gui, which makes the gui look unique. This bronze gui is made of pottery.  This is also a typical production method for bronzes in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In addition, from its copper quality, as well as the decorative features on its body, it can be seen that this is a bronze gui from the Warring States Period. Looking at this bronze gui,  There is a very beautiful layer of ancient black lacquer on the surface. The decoration on the body is gorgeous but not complicated. The shape is majestic, solemn and elegant. It can be called a masterpiece of Warring States bronzes. Chu Chen told everyone the conclusion he came to.  After reading it once, he said with admiration: "Bronze Gui is generally rare, and it is rare to be a fine product. Brother Duan, if you can buy it for 1.1 million, you must have made a profit."  " Duan Xuefeng said with joy on his face when he heard this: "Really?  !  "
