The things on this stall are all stationery supplies. Among the stalls that were either porcelain or bronze, they looked unique. Chu Chen took the thing that attracted his attention just now and took it into his hands. It was a cloisonn¨¦ horse hoof made of copper and filigree enamel. The horseshoe statue is a type of statue. It has a wide mouth, rounded lips, tapered shoulders, broad belly, and flat bottom. The shape of the vessel is like a horseshoe, hence the name Horseshoe Zun. This is a popular utensil style during the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. There are two shapes: the tall one is a bottle, which is mainly used to hold liquids, and the short one is a bowl, which refers to the water bowl used in stationery. Shui Yu is Shuicheng, also known as Shuicheng. It is also called the fifth treasure of the study. It is a water container placed on the desk, used to store water for inkstones. It is mostly oblate in shape. The one with a mouth is called "Shui Zhu", and the one without a mouth is called "Shui Cheng". ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The taller one has a long neck, a small mouth, a flat bottom and a slightly concave shape, broad shoulders and a straight abdomen. Blue and white, underglaze red, pastel and other varieties are more common. The short ones are also called "dwarf horseshoes". They have huge mouths and no necks, and the belly is the same as the tall ones. The cloisonn¨¦ horseshoe statue in front of Chu Chen is a typical short horseshoe style. At first glance, this instrument has a fine copper body and brilliant color. The rim and outer wall are decorated with filigree enamel, which is a longevity pattern and a lotus pattern. It means auspiciousness and the picture looks bright and pleasing to the eye. The bottom is signed "Zhonghe Hall System". The Tang name model is to engrave or stencil your own Tang name, Zhai name or year number on customized porcelain. Its content involves pavilions, palaces, halls, residences, etc. The people who enjoyed it ranged from the emperor and his relatives to the fine craftsmen. In addition, there are also some dignitaries, literati, etc. Hall name models appeared in large numbers during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and have continued from dynasty to dynasty, becoming more and more popular. It was more common in the early and middle Qing Dynasty. From Daoguang to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the number of porcelains inscribed with hall names decreased greatly. This was related to the social instability at that time and many other factors. At that time, the porcelains with hall names inscribed on them were all high-quality products from official or private kilns. The Zhonghetang hall designation was used during the Kangxi period. The "Zhonghetang" in the Old Summer Palace was once the place where Emperor Kangxi lived. Therefore, the porcelain with the Zhonghetang designation is probably from Royal supplies. "Little brother, you have such a good sense. This is the water bowl once used by Emperor Kangxi." When the stall owner saw Chu Chen picking up the cloisonn¨¦ horseshoe statue, he immediately explained with a smile: "Back then, Emperor Kangxi had He loved this water bowl so much that after his death, it was kept in the Old Summer Palace. During the Eight-Power Allied Forces, a young eunuch took it away during the chaos and later passed it on to his adopted son. " "To be honest, I have been eyeing this thing for a long time, but the little eunuch's adopted son never let go. He passed away a few days ago, so I finally got it from his descendant. "It's better to come early than to come by chance, little brother, isn't this rare treasure just waiting for you?" Chu Chen smiled, such words can only be ignored, let alone Kangxi, if this thing can be compared with Tang Minghuang got involved, and he was able to push the invention of cloisonn¨¦ back to the Tang Dynasty. Seeing Chu Chen minding his own business, the stall owner praised the horseshoe statue a few times and then kept silent. After all, everything is too much and too little is too much. If the customer left because he was tired of hearing it, then The gain outweighs the loss. After Chu Chen finished reading the things, the stall owner quickly asked: "Little brother, do you like this thing? Let me tell you, this kind of treasure, if you walk through this village, there will be no shop like this! If you like it, The price can be easily negotiated." Chu Chen put the things back in place and said with a slight smile: "Boss, I remember that the cloisonn¨¦s produced during the Kangxi period had trachoma." The stall owner laughed and said calmly. : "Isn't this thing from Yugong? Since it is from Yugong, it's not surprising that the technology is a little more advanced." Even he himself didn't believe what he said, but such a thing, even if it is a worthless fabrication, he It must also be said that it is a rare thing in the sky and an unparalleled good thing on the earth. Otherwise, even he himself will belittle his own thing, and then there will be no business. After putting down the things, Chu Chen looked at the things on the stall. Suddenly, attracted by Bao Jue, a naive jade ox paperweight came into his sight. Paperweight is a paperweight, which refers to something used to press down paper when writing and painting. The most common ones are rectangular bars. For this reason, it is also called a ruler or pressure ruler. Of course, the original paperweights did not have a fixed shape. Its origin was due to the fact that ancient literati often put small bronzes and jade wares on their desks to play with and appreciate them. Because they all had a certain weight, so while people were appreciating them, they also It can be easily used to press paper or books. Over time, it has developed into the current paperweight. Chu Chen calmly took the jade cow paper weight in his hand. The jade cow was made of blue and white jade. At first glance,?Not too eye-catching. Qingbai jade is a kind of soft jade with a color between white and light cyan or light green. The value of this kind of jade is between sapphire and white jade. Among the palace jades of the Qing Dynasty, the most utensils made of Qingbai jade . Of course, this jade cow is not from the Qing Dynasty. This jade cow is a lying cow, looking forward, with one front foot raised, and its mane is long and thin, spreading on both sides of the neck, showing its majestic look naturally. Early paperweights were mostly made of copper or jade, and mainly featured images of cows, horses, rabbits, deer, etc. The golden rhinoceros in the poem "Lu Bianxiu Sends the Moon Stone Inkstone Screen" by the poet Zhang Ban of the Song Dynasty, "Three mountains gave me treasures, and the paperweight is appropriately called the golden rhinoceros" is a kind of copper paperweight. Chu Chen fell in love with this jade ox paperweight as soon as he saw it. The shape of this instrument is simple and simple, and its rules are clumsy. It can be placed on the desk as a paperweight with a beautiful meaning, and it can also be used as a display in the Duobao Pavilion for display and play. The eyes are full of fun and just right for my father. Thinking of this, Chu Chen asked: "Boss, do you know how much this jade cow costs?" "Hey! Little brother, let me tell you" Before the stall owner could finish speaking, Chu Chen interrupted. He said: "Boss, don't be pretentious. I also bought the pressed paper. Just tell me the price." The stall owner chuckled and didn't care about Chu Chen's interruption, and said, "The things are not good." Expensive, how about five hundred yuan? After all, the carving is quite good." "Five hundred yuan?" Chu Chen shook his head: "It's too expensive. Look, the material is not very good. Bai Yu, I think it¡¯s eighty, right?¡± ¡°Little brother, your price is too high, I¡¯m a small business!¡± The stall owner said with a bitter smile, ¡°I can¡¯t even get you eighty. If you sincerely want it, just three hundred and eighty, how about it?¡± ¡°I really want it, one hundred and two, I want it!¡± ¡°I said, little brother, I¡¯m a greedy person, so you have to let me earn some hard money. "Three hundred, take it if you want it!" . After opening one, the stall owner was very happy and said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, I also have authentic high-quality wolf hair. Are you interested?" Chu Chen took a look at what the stall owner called "high-quality wolf hair." "The wolf hair is indeed wolf hair, but it is made of miscellaneous hair. How can I write any good words on this kind of wolf hair?" Just when Chu Chen was about to refuse, Liu Sizhe came over and said, "Brother Chen, help me go over and look at something. I'm a little unsure." "Okay, let's go then!" "Two little brothers "Can you wait a moment?" Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, an old man in sixties suddenly stopped them. Chu Chen and the others looked back and saw that the old man had a kind face and kind eyes. He was wearing a Chinese Tang suit and a dzi bead bracelet on his left hand. He seemed to have an elegant temperament. The first impression was very good. "Old sir, are you calling us?" The old man nodded, and then said politely: "Excuse me for disturbing you, little brother, I wonder if you can show me what you are holding?" "Okay." Chu Chen Without thinking much, I put the things on the ground happily. After all, the other party is just an old man in his sixties, and he is not afraid of things being snatched away from him. Moreover, the Dzi beads in this man's hand should have more than nine eyes. People who can afford such Dzi beads will not care about this. A paperweight worth tens of thousands of dollars. When the old man saw Chu Chen's actions, he knew that Chu Chen should be an expert. It seemed that even if he wanted to buy this thing, the price wouldn't be much cheaper. Secretly shaking his head with regret, the old man picked up the jade cow and looked at it carefully for a moment. After returning the jade cow to Chu Chen, he asked: "Little brother, I wonder if you have any intention of taking action with this thing?" Chu Chen He smiled and shook his head and said: "Old sir, I'm really sorry, I still have use for this thing and I won't transfer it." The old man quickly said: "Little brother, you might as well consider it, I really like this thing, and the price is also good. , It must be based on the market price.¡± Hearing what the old man said, Chu Chen knew that he should really like this thing, but he was going to give this jade ox paperweight to his father, so he could only apologize: ¡°Old sir, I¡¯m really sorry. Yes, this thing is indeed useful to me." "Oh, what a pity!" The old man shook his head and sighed. At this time, the stall owner was a little uneasy. What did these two people mean, did he miss something good? So he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Well I'd like to take the liberty to ask, the material of this jade cow is quite ordinary. Is there anything in it?"??Other words? The old man shook his head slightly and said, "Who told you that the jade of this jade cow is of poor quality?" You haven't looked at it carefully, have you? " The stall owner smiled bitterly and said: "This I really haven't looked at it carefully, but even if it is fine blue and white jade, you see that the carving is so rough, it must not be the work of a famous artist, right? " "You" When the old man heard this, he immediately felt that he was talking to a cow. He paused and said, "Let this little brother tell you. "(To be continued.)
