    Seeing this, the stall owner also realized that he might have said something wrong, so he humbly said to Chu Chen: "Little brother, I wonder if you can help me gain some knowledge?" "This should be carefully carved by craftsmen of the Yuan Dynasty.  Jade cow paper weight." Chu Chen smiled slightly. "What! From the Yuan Dynasty?" the stall owner asked in shock.  Chu Chen nodded and said: "This is indeed from the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty jade has multiple layers of carvings, round carvings, high reliefs, shallow reliefs, etc. These processes are combined with negative line carvings. Among them, there are multiple layers of carvings.  The technique was brought to its extreme in the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to carving double-layer patterns on a flat surface, it can also be carved into multiple layers on the jade material. The flowers can reach up to five or six layers, with clear layers and a strong perspective effect. "  ¡°Furthermore, the craftsmanship style of Yuan Dynasty jade has tended to be rough and informal. Carvings like to use deep incised lines. The lines are thick and heavy, making the decorations convex. However, the lines have obvious starting and ending marks, uneven lines, and often get out of control.  The traces of the jade are rough. " At this point, he pointed to several places on the jade ox in his hand and said, "Look at these places, they all show the craftsmanship of the Yuan Dynasty jade.  At first glance, the cow does seem a bit rough, but after a closer look, a rugged beauty emerges spontaneously. " "This jade cow is carved with a vivid image, with strong muscles in all parts of the body, dense and regular lines, and a majestic appearance.  The clear view shows the superb craftsmanship. Therefore, I think this jade ox paperweight should be used by the royal nobles at that time. " "Okay" After listening to Chu Chen's wonderful explanation, the old man couldn't help but applaud:  "My little brother is really an expert at this!" As the saying goes.  An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.  After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, the old man knew that Chu Chen had probably been immersed in this way for many years. This made the old man sigh, what a terrible future!  "Old sir, you're very grateful. I just have a little experience with these." Chu Chen said modestly.  After listening to Chu Chen¡¯s explanation, the stall owner also knew that he had missed the sale, but there was something he was still a little confused about.  So he asked: "Little brother, I would like to ask, what is the quality of this jade?" Chu Chen smiled and explained: "It's very simple. This jade cow should have been an unearthed artifact. You can tell if you look carefully.  , the above are iron rust Qin and Tu Qin, but after being unearthed. For some reason, the owner of the jade cow has not played with it. Now, at first glance, the jade quality is not very good.  This kind of problem is easy to solve, as long as you play with it carefully for a few months, you can reveal the real jade quality inside. "You are right, so you have to look carefully." The old man agreed.  "Then I'd like to ask, how much is this thing worth in the market?" The stall owner asked weakly. What he wanted to know most now was how much he had missed, and it was not hundreds of thousands.  That's really a shame.  "After all, the material is blue and white jade, so it's not too expensive." The old man said: "Judging from the carving skills, it's about sixty or seventy thousand." "Sixty or seventy thousand?!" Although he didn't lose hundreds of thousands, he still worked hard to survive.  , it may not be 60,000 or 70,000 yuan in one year, but this loss still makes this stall owner feel distressed.  Next, Chu Chen and the old man exchanged a few pleasantries, exchanged business cards, and left.  "Brother Chen, help me take a look at something later. I think it's from Hainan Huanghuali, but I'm not very proficient in Huanghuali, so I'm a little unsure." Liu Sizhe said as he walked, and brought Chu Chen here.  When I arrived at a stall, I saw what Liu Sizhe was talking about.  Chu Chen lowered his head and saw that it was an arm rest. The front of the device was engraved with the pattern of the Three Friends of Suihan, either in bud or in full bloom, full of spring.  The back of the armrest is decorated with a pattern of flowing clouds and blessings. The cloud pattern is shaped like wishful thinking and continues continuously, which means that wishful thinking will last forever. It also has the connotation of clouds and mist. The bat is hidden in the clouds, which means that blessings fall from the sky and wishful happiness is endless.  The armrest was a study item of the ancients and first appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  In the old days, calligraphy was done from right to left and from top to bottom. Using armrests can prevent sleeves from being stained with ink.  Armrests have gradually developed from practical objects to objects for play and appreciation, reflecting the unique aesthetic taste of Chinese literati.  Chu Chen calmly looked at the armrest, sniffed it, and then asked Liu Sizhe with a smile: "Why did you think of buying an armrest?" Liu Sizhe said with a grimace: "It's not because of the beautiful girl.  Well, my dad called me last night. If I don¡¯t want my butt to blow out, I have to practice calligraphy for three months after I get home. If you want to do your job well, you must sharpen your tools first. I bought an armrest to put it back, which can prevent  The sleeves are stained with ink and can be used as paperweights. "Brother, you are really right. This is a Hainan huanghuali arm rest."bsp; The stall owner has a very good ear. After listening to Liu Sizhe's words, he quickly said with a smile: "Let me tell you, I got this thing from an old lady with great difficulty. Her ancestors were high officials.  Yes, this thing has been circulating for hundreds of years. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can take a closer look at the carving and the pulp. Such an old-fashioned and exquisite huanghuali arm rest is rare. " Chu Chen Haha!  He smiled and said: "It's quite suitable to put this thing on your arm when you buy it, but if you use it to appreciate it, forget it." "Hey, brother, what you said, why can't we appreciate such exquisite patterns?"  The Lord said with some displeasure.  "Oh, then why do I smell the pungent sour aroma of this thing?" Chu Chen said with a half-smile.  Hainan huanghuali has a unique and mellow aroma, which is very unique, and this pungent sour aroma can only appear on Vietnamese huanghuali.  The stall owner was also thick-skinned, and said with a smile: "Things will always taste a little bit after being stored for a long time. Just buy it and take it home and take care of it." Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Sizhe immediately understood what he was interested in.  The thing must be a fake, so he chose another arm rest that he had previously liked and asked the stall owner: "Boss, how much does this cost?"  Very famous" Liu Sizhe waved his hand and interrupted: "Boss, tell me, what is famous about this Zhidao man?" "This" The stall owner said hesitantly: "Since this person can  If you leave a name, your reputation will not be much different." Chu Chen smiled secretly when he heard this. Liu Sizhe was really right in asking this question. This stall owner really didn't know who Zhidao was.  This week Zhiyan's real name is Zhou Hao, with the courtesy name Jinzhan, also known as Xueqiao, also known as Zhiyan, and also known as Zhikian. He is from Yaofeng Mountain, Zhidaoren, Zhisou, and Qiaosou, because he has a beautiful beard, handsome demeanor, and  Called himself "Beard Crazy".  Zhou Zhiyan is a bamboo carver of the Jiading School who is as famous as Wu Zhifan.  On the basis of Zhu's method of painting and carving bamboo, he came up with new ideas. He changed the previous method and usually focused on bas-relief and flat carving. He used a knife instead of a brush to directly carve landscapes, trees, rocks, and clusters on bamboo tubes or bamboo pieces without drawings.  Bamboo creates a concave and convex texture.  This technique is what later generations called the "flat pattern carving method", and very few people imitated it later.  "Bamboo Man Record" compares the Han and Tang poetry schools to bamboo carvings in the Qing Dynasty, and compares Zhou Zhiyan to Du Fu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He is considered to be the first person to create new methods of bamboo carving in the Qing Dynasty.  "Come on, there were a lot of names in ancient times. Is it possible that everyone is famous?" Liu Sizhe sneered and said, "Stop talking about these fake things and give us a real price. I don't want it if it's too expensive!" The stall owner said with a smile.  : "I'm an innocent child, how could it be expensive? Two thousand, how about it, cheap?" Liu Sizhe was happy when he heard this, but his face still showed shock: "What, two thousand? Leave it as you like.  A name can be worth two thousand. I'm not a fool. No, I think five hundred is enough." "Brother, five hundred is too low. I" I took advantage of Liu Sizhe and the stall owner to bargain.  At that time, Chu Chen took a look at the things on the stall, but after a while, under Bao Jue's guidance, his mind was attracted by something.  What caught Chu Chen's attention was a scroll on a calligraphy and painting stall nearby. If this scroll was placed in a prominent position, Chu Chen wouldn't care. However, the stall owner threw this scroll among the pile of rags.  , this is interesting. Could it be that the boss sold the original product as a fake?  Thinking of this, Chu Chen moved to the calligraphy and painting stall next to him.  The business of this calligraphy and painting stall looks deserted. In fact, this is normal. The light in the ghost market is really too dark, so it is not easy to verify the authenticity of calligraphy and painting. Use a strong flashlight, as the colors may be distorted. I saw it at that time.  That's right, but when I got home and saw that it was completely different, I could only sigh, it was a crime other than war!  The stall owner was a young man. When he saw the business coming, he quickly said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not bragging, I have a lot of good stuff. Just pick whatever you like, and the price will satisfy you." Chu Chen didn't say much.  What? He nodded towards the stall owner and started looking at himself.  But he didn't look at the scroll where Bao Jue reacted first, as that would have been too obvious.  After unfolding the next few paintings and looking at them, Chu Chen found that they were just printed matter, and they were still crudely made, with no artistic beauty at all. But this is normal, otherwise these things would not be so casually used by the stall owner.  Pile here.  But in this way, Chu Chen became more interested in the scroll, because given its size, this work was probably a big leak.  Just when Chu ChenWhen he was about to pick up the scroll, the transaction had been completed next to him. Liu Sizhe walked up to him and said hello: "Brother Chu, I'm going to see if there are any good brushes." "Okay, you go!  " After Liu Sizhe left, Chu Chen picked up the scroll.  But as soon as he got the work in his hands, Chu Chen was shocked. What he didn't expect was that the scroll was actually made of silk. In other words, based on the medium of calligraphy and painting alone, the value of this work was not much lower.
