Seeing Liu Sizhe's ashamed look, Mr. Liu shook his head and said no more, hoping that his grandson could learn from this lesson. "Okay, you two pack up. Our Antiques Association in Beijing has an exchange event today. You can come with me." The Antiques Association that Mr. Liu mentioned is not the official kind, but antique lovers. It is organized voluntarily. Of course, since it is an organization, it must have been registered. In the association, half of them are the bosses of major antique cities, and the others are senior collectors. If you want to join the association, you must not only recommend people, but also have a certain level yourself. Not only must you pass the assessment of the association, but you must also have something that opens the door, and you must be approved by at least one-third of the members before you can join. . Of course, there are benefits to becoming a member of the association. Not to mention other things, every once in a while, the association will organize an exchange meeting. The exchange meeting is nothing to put it simply. They just drink tea, chat, appraise treasures, or shop for goods. items, and of course sometimes hold a small auction. Chu Chen also went to several exchange meetings with Uncle Wu before, and gained a lot of knowledge. Later, as his level increased, after the Spring Festival this year, with the guarantee of Uncle Wu and others, he became a member of the association. member. The antique industry has always been about inheritance. Without inheritance, it will be difficult for you to gain recognition from the circle. Even if you enter the circle, you will not be truly recognized by the circle if you do not accumulate over time. Even if you have the money to buy so many antiques. , in the eyes of senior people in the industry, you are just a nouveau riche. To say that Chu Chen was able to join the association, it was also because Uncle Wu had good reputation and good popularity. In addition, Uncle Wu was also a child of a family of antiques, and Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu were also very capable. Otherwise, Chu Chen would not have joined at all due to his age. Possibility to join the association. Since we are going to communicate. It didn't matter that Liu Laode was so highly respected, but Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe had to bring something with them. " Chu Chen does have a lot of good things, but he has no intention of taking out rare treasures such as Wu Daozi's paintings, reborn jade cicadas, and incense burners. After all, these kind of things are coveted treasures. Although with his current status, he is not afraid of someone taking them by force, but as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of trouble. It can still be as little as possible. But apart from these three items, the others were also good things, which made it a bit difficult for him to choose. I chose the Ru kiln azure glaze round wash bar. Suddenly I thought Zheng Banqiao¡¯s bamboo and stone pictures were good. I was planning to choose the bamboo and stone pictures. I also felt that the Xuande gilt bronze Manjushri Bodhisattva might be more pleasing to the eye. Just going back and forth like this, he didn't know which one to choose. Seeing Chu Chen frowning and looking distressed, Mr. Liu smiled and said: "Okay, just choose Dong Yuan's painting of the creek bank. It just happens to be able to bring this painting to light again." "Okay" After Chu Chen Chen took the picture of the stream bank, and Liu Sizhe took the Chenghua blue and white jar he had drilled, and set off with Mr. Liu. Because Mr. Liu was in good health, Liu Qinshu worriedly warned Chu Chen that if she hadn't had something to do today and she was more at ease with Chu Chen, she would have gone with him. Speaking of which, Chu Chen somewhat knew the reason why Liu Sizhe took the blue and white jar. The exchange meeting does not stipulate that the things you bring must be genuine, some things you are not sure about. You can also bring it with you for everyone to appraise together. Regardless of whether the item is authentic or fake, it can give everyone a heads-up. This is also an invisible benefit of the exchange meeting. Of course, it doesn¡¯t mean that there are always things that are fakes, and no one notices them, and then they are taken away by someone they like. And even if he was looking for trouble, there was no way to do it. After all, the owner had said in advance that he couldn't see the things accurately, and he wasn't lying. When you buy something, it's a matter of your eyesight. In the end, the buyer can only consider himself unlucky. Chu Chen estimated that Liu Sizhe probably had this idea, and Mr. Liu would not care about this kind of thing, not because Liu Sizhe was his grandson, but because this is the rule in the antique business, just like if you picked it up If he missed something, he wouldn't return the thing, and if he got hit in the eye, he could only blame his own poor eyesight. Since it is an exchange meeting for antique lovers, the venue of the exchange meeting will of course not be in a hotel or a cafe. It will usually be in a decorated antique teahouse. The venue for this meeting is at The second floor of "Xiangyun Pavilion", a teahouse not far from the Antique City of Beijing. When Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe accompanied Mr. Liu to Xiangyun Pavilion, the second floor of the tea house was already booked, and there were not many people coming at this time. Needless to say, Mr. Liu¡¯s reputation in the antiques circle is needless to say. It can be said that everyone in the association knows about him.?So, when everyone saw that Mr. Liu was actually here today, they were excited and a little confused. Could something big be happening? In fact, the reason why Mr. Liu came here today is very simple, just to push Chu Chen to the front desk. When Chu Chen became a disciple before, the reason why Mr. Liu kept such a low profile was because Chu Chen was too young for this industry, and youth meant lack of experience. Youdao is the first to shoot. As his disciple, when you enjoy some conveniences, someone will definitely come to praise Chu Chen. If something goes wrong, not only his reputation, but also Chu Chen's That said, it was also a big blow. However, after getting along with each other for a month, Mr. Liu discovered that Chu Chen¡¯s learning speed was really amazing, and during actual combat tests, there were very few errors in identification (Chu Chen did not use any powers at that time). "The rainbow always comes after the storm. Smooth sailing is good, but sometimes too smooth sailing may not be a good thing. Moreover, Chu Chen is still young, so even if he encounters setbacks, there is still time to recover. Therefore, when Mr. Liu discovered that Chu Chen's current level was already very high, he decided to put Chu Chen under everyone's sight, hoping that he could grow into a towering tree of perseverance as soon as possible. When everyone put down their playing objects and greeted Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu happily introduced Chu Chen to everyone. As for Liu Sizhe, he only mentioned it briefly, but this was exactly what Liu Sizhe meant, and he was happy A little more relaxed. When everyone heard that Mr. Liu had actually accepted another disciple, they were all very surprised, but they immediately reacted and praised Chu Chen for his achievements at a young age. Of course, only they themselves knew what they thought. After that, Mr. Liu naturally got together with a group of older generations who were also highly respected, while Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were pulled to their side by Zhu Dafu, whom they had not seen for a long time. Zhu Dafu first introduced the people around him to Chu Chen. After everyone exchanged greetings, Zhu Dafu said in a somewhat complaining tone: "Xiao Chen, when I was exercising in the morning recently, I couldn't even see your figure. What's wrong with you?" You don¡¯t come to my store very often, have you forgotten your uncle Fu?¡± Chu Chen felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Since the last time he met Song Jun, he had only been to Zhu Dafu¡¯s store twice. But there was nothing he could do. After all, he now lived in the west of the city and had to study a lot of homework every day. It was really inconvenient to go to Panjiayuan. "Uncle Fu, I'm really sorry. It's just that I live in the west of the city and am preparing for the adult college entrance examination, so I have been a little neglectful. Please forgive me!" Zhu Dafu didn't really blame Chu Chen, that's all. Out of concern, when he heard what Chu Chen said, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay! Studying is important. When you're done, let's have a meal together and catch up on old times." "Definitely!" Chu Chen quickly nodded and agreed. "Nephew Chu Xian, these are the items we brought. Why don't you come and get them, and let us old guys grow their eyes!" A man in his fifties with a goatee said The old man pointed to the things on the table and said with a smile. "Haha, gentlemen, everyone sitting here is an elder. Xiao Chen is young and has little knowledge. How dare he be so presumptuous in front of all the elders!" Zhu Dafu immediately smoothed things over for Chu Chen. "In another world, Lao Zhu, nephew Chu Xian is a famous teacher and disciple. Young is young, but it does not mean that he has little knowledge. He may be much better than us old guys? Besides, exchange meetings are all about exchanges. Okay, let us see the style of a famous teacher and disciple! " The person who spoke was an antique shop owner in his forties. Chu Chen also had some impression that this man had a conflict with Zhu Dafu, and he seemed to have suffered a loss. It seemed that this person was ready to take out his grievances on him. "Uncles and uncles, let me tell you something. However, I am not very knowledgeable. Please forgive me if I make any mistakes!" Zhu Dafu was about to say something else, but Chu Chen said it first, and now he has reached this point. , even if Zhu Dafu says anything, he will definitely show his hand, otherwise it will weaken the master's prestige. Seeing that Chu Chen started to pick up the objects on the table and observe them, everyone said nothing more. After all, the master was still there. Give them 10,000 courages and they would not dare to tease them too much. There are more than a dozen things on the table, including pottery pots, pen holders, brush washers, jades, inkstones, copper stoves, traditional Chinese paintings, etc. It is like a miniature exhibition. Chu Chen started to look at the things on his left hand side. The first thing was a chicken head pot. The chicken head pot is named after the spout of the pot is shaped like a chicken head. It is a kind of porcelain pot that was popular from the Western Jin Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. In the Western Jin Dynasty, the shape of the vessel was smaller than that of click here to add a picture description, with a round belly, a chicken head attached to the shoulder, and a small neck. Some spouts are passable, some are solid, the spouts areThe waist is tied and has a small flat bottom. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the main body of the pot was also a round-bellied pan-mouth pot, but there was a short neck under the chicken head, the beak became rounded from the tip, the crown was heightened, the chicken tail disappeared, the upper end of the handle was higher than the mouth rim, and the shoulder straps were square and bridge-shaped. By the Southern Dynasties, the body of the pot was overall taller, the neck was longer than in the previous period, the mouth of the pot was deepened, the handle was also heightened, and the shoulder ties were mostly double ties. The body of the pot in the Sui Dynasty was taller, the chicken neck was not only longer, but also looked like it was raising its head and crowing, the chicken tail handle became a plastic dragon head handle, and the switch was more complicated.
