At this point, the young man showed that he didn't want to talk anymore, as if the price of 8,000 yuan was already his bottom line. "This" Chu Chen looked thoughtful. "Brother, don't worry, the things are definitely passed down from my family's ancestors." The young man assured, patting his chest. Chu Chen did not speak, but pretended to be "zuoai" and kept playing with the things on the stall. After a while, he said: "Little brother, let's do this, I will add a thousand more, you see Look, there is a gap on both the bowl and the plate. " As he said that, Chu Chen pointed at the edge of the bowl and the plate respectively. Not to mention, there is really a gap. "Brother, you have such good eyesight." The young man gave Chu Chen a thumbs up and said, "But having said that, after all, it is something that has been around for hundreds of years, and bumps and bumps are inevitable. Well, if you If you really want it, let's take a step back. How about these things, five thousand and five?" Chu Chen lowered his head, hesitated for a while, then took out the money from his bag, counted it, handed it to the young man and said, "Then "Okay, but you have to wrap it up for me!" "Okay!" The young man took the money, counted it carefully, then suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, and quickly wrapped everything in old newspapers. . When he was finally about to wrap up the folding fan, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Just put this fan in my bag. There's no need to wrap it up." "Okay!" After Chu Chen left with the bag, The young man couldn't help but cheered, hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and called his girlfriend. "Qiangzi, what's going on! I'm eating!" "What a great thing! I sold all the things you gave me yesterday, for five thousand and five thousand!" "No, my dad The junk he bought actually sold for so much? But is there really any treasure in it? " "Come on, if your father has such good eyesight, will he lose almost all of your family's money? " " Is this true? ! Okay. Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Now that we have so much money, we can buy the jewelry I was interested in last time. Qiangzi, please go there and wait for me. I¡¯ll be here soon" Chu Chen hummed a little tune and came to the hotel he had made an appointment with before, and followed the waiter to the private room. Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu had already ordered food and were waiting for him. After the three of them exchanged greetings, Zhou Wenping said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you are in such a good mood, could you have missed something?" Chu Chen chuckled and said: "Brother Zhou, your guess is really accurate. Just now I really "I picked it up and it leaked." "Isn't it?" Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were very surprised. Then they all looked at the bag in Chu Chen's hand. "The things are not in here. These are all fakes. Let's talk about the details after we have dinner." Chu Chen said with a smile. "Yes, yes! Let's eat first" While eating, Chu Chen explained the cause and effect of what he had just missed, and both of them were amazed. "It's true that you lose a lot of money by stealing chickens. You lost your wife and lost your troops!" Lao Wu laughed dumbly and said: "But I'm really curious, Xiaochen, what kind of treasure did you get?" Chu Chen said with a mysterious smile: " Let¡¯s wait until we¡¯ve had enough food and drinks. I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t be disappointed.¡± ¡°Well, we¡¯ll see¡± After the meal, the waiter cleared the table and made a cup of tea for everyone. Afterwards, Chu Chen laid a newspaper on the table, then took the folding fan out of the bag and placed it on it. "Eh! Folding fan!" "It looks like it has a purple flower wax base!" Everyone should be familiar with the folding fan. It is a foldable fan with bamboo or ivory ribs and tough paper or damask silk as the fan surface. It is also the favorite of traditional Chinese literati. Spread when used. Formed into a semicircle, with the head gathered and the tail scattered. Also known as spreading fan, pinch fan, folding fan, folding fan, gathering fan, etc. There are different opinions on the origin of the folding fan, but in my personal opinion, it is relatively reliable that it originated from the Southern Qi Dynasty. "Jiao Chuang Hua Fan" contains: "The folding fan is commonly known as the folding fan. It is also called the Jutou fan in ancient times and is also called the Jugu fan. It began in the Northern Song Dynasty. Its origin is as far away as the Southern Qi Dynasty. "The Book of Nan Qi": "Chu Yuan "The waist fan is a folding fan", "Tongjian Notes" says: "The waist fan is a folding fan". However, it was not popular at that time. In the Northern Song Dynasty, "such as the folding fans made in the market spread out to three or four feet wide, and combined "Just two fingers." There is a system in the market, which shows that it is no longer exclusive to a few people. "However, regardless of the origin of the folding fan, the unified point of view is that the folding fan has gradually improved and innovated from the original fan shape, and given it a new national tradition An artifact of cultural significance. Until now, its discovery hasIt can be said that it contains the unique cultural connotation of our country. Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! This is indeed a Xiangfei Bamboo folding fan with a purple flower wax base. I think the production time should be the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties." "Xiangfei Bamboo" is always the most attractive word to collectors of folding fan bones. Not only are collectors proud to own a high-quality Xiangfei bamboo folding fan, but collectors who have Xiangfei bamboo folding fans often like to compare secretly to see whose Xiangfei bamboo fan is more beautiful and in better condition. Why are folding fans made of this material so attractive? Speaking of this, let me first talk about an ancient legend about Xiangfei Bamboo: Legend has it that Emperor Shun's second concubine Ehuang and Nvying cried in condolences to Emperor Shun in front of Cangwu Mountain, and their tears spilled on the bamboo mountain of Jiuyi Mountain, and the bamboo poles There are little tear spots on the stool, some are purple, some are snow-white, and some are blood-red. These are "Xiangfei Bamboo". Some statues on the bamboo have fingerprints printed on them. Legend has it that the second concubine wiped her tears on the bamboo and made the fingerprints. The bright red blood spots on some bamboos were stained by the blood and tears flowing from the eyes of the two concubines. The reason why the Xiangfei Bamboo Fan collection continues to grow is not only because of this ancient and sad legend, but also because of its beautiful patterns and rare quantity. After all, its growth period is only two months. It is said that in ancient times, when calculating the value of the best Xiangfei bamboo, it was weighed on a scale. There is a saying that an inch of Xiangfei bamboo is worth three taels of gold. The Xiangfei Bamboo Fan bone is made from the "purple flower wax base" that existed before the mid-Qing Dynasty. The material is based on red-purple circular spots and waxy bamboo ground. The contrast effect is obvious. It is a high-quality product that is played by high-ranking officials and nobles, and is beyond the reach of ordinary people. have. And because of the precious material of the "purple flower wax bottom" fan bones, the workmanship of the fan bones is extremely exquisite, mostly by the masters of fan making at that time. "Purple flower wax base" has been popular since the Ming Dynasty. However, due to various reasons such as climate change, the material was basically an endangered species after the mid-Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was no way to draw materials. Therefore, in the collection world, a top-grade purple flower wax base folding fan , it can be said to be the coveted treasure of folding fan collectors. Seeing this, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were both eager to give it a try. They looked at each other and Lao Wu smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, you better take a look first!" "Then I'll be disrespectful." Zhou Wenping laughed without any hesitation. , carefully picked up the folding fan and observed it carefully. Zhou Wenping picked up the folding fan without letting it go. He first looked at the fan bones carefully, and also took out a magnifying glass to carefully observe the patina of the fan head. After a while, he nodded and said: "Yes, this should indeed be obvious." Purple flower wax background from the late Qing Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty." "Then Zhou Wenping spread out the folding fan and observed the fan surface carefully, but when he saw the fan painting, especially the signature seal, he was stunned. "Eight Returns?!" "What? Really Eight Returns?" Hearing the word "Eight Returns", Lao Wu couldn't sit still. He stood up instantly, rushed to Zhou Wenping's side, and got up to take a look. . Not to mention Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu, when Chu Chen saw the seal of "Eight Returns" before, he was not much better than them. The nickname "Ba Huan" may not be very well-known, but this person's other nickname "Bada Shanren" must be familiar to everyone. Bada Shanren, namely Zhu Da, whose real name is Tong, also known as Geshan, Renwu, etc., is a descendant of Zhu Quan, King of Mingning. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. He felt sad and angry. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, he became a monk and became a monk. His name was Chuanxi and his name was Ren'an. He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty throughout his life. He regarded himself as a survivor of the Ming Dynasty and refused to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty. In the 14th year of Kangxi's reign, when he was 60 years old, he signed the signature of Bada Shanren until the year of his death. The four characters of the signature were scrawled together, like "crying" and "laughing". Bada Shanren is good at painting landscapes, flowers and birds, bamboo and wood. Flowers and birds learn from Shen Zhou, Chen Chun and Xu Wei, and become their own style in quiet enlightenment. Huang Gongwang's approach to landscape painting was greatly influenced by Dong Qichang. He had a great influence on the flower-and-bird paintings of the Qing Dynasty. Together with Yuan Ji, Hongren and Kun Can, he was known as the "Four Eminent Monks of the Early Qing Dynasty". His works often use symbolic techniques to express his feelings, and exaggerate the flowers, birds, fish and insects he painted. With his unique images and concise shapes, the images in the paintings are prominent and the themes are clear. He even paints the eyes of birds and fish into He "rolls his eyes at people" to express his aloof and cynical character, thus creating an unprecedented flower-and-bird look. The characteristics of the pen and ink are characterized by indulgence, vigor, roundness, and elegance. Whether it is a large painting or a small piece, it has a simple, smooth, clear, and healthy style. The composition and structure are unconventional and seek to be complete despite incompleteness. The painter Zheng Banqiao once praised the painting of Bada Shanren: "Thousands of horizontal and vertical paintings, not many ink spots but many tears." The images of "simple", "elegant", "lonely" and "ethereal" are the characteristics of Bada. The main tone of the painting is also the realm of "empty tranquility", "mysterious distance", "indifferent" and "profound" pursued by ancient Chinese literati. The fan painting on Chu Chen¡¯s folding fan is exactly Bada Shanren¡¯s best painting of flowers and birds, ¡°Lotus and Stone Perching Birds.¡± The shape of the lotus on the fan is concise, with a weak lotus stem holding the flowerThe leaves are connected together, with a few ink spots, depressed and indifferent, leisurely and quiet. The little nameless bird standing on a dangerous rock with one foot moves in silence, seeking tranquility in danger. With its tail raised and belly bulging, it stands tall and looks down, scorning everything. It can be said that its round eyes are expressive, quite emotional, lifelike, and quite vivid. The rocks painted in the painting are also abnormal, they are large at the top and small at the bottom, which makes them precarious and dangerous. The lotus flowers, nameless birds and dangerous rocks in the painting can be said to be completely out of the author's mental state, fully showing the author's stubborn and proud character. From this we can see that it is no accident that Bada Mountain people are famous all over the world.
