Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    But after Chu Chen got over his excitement, he suddenly remembered a question and couldn't help but frown.  You should know that there are currently four Buddha finger bone relics discovered, only one of which is the real body relic, and the other three are all accessories made to protect the real body relic, which are the so-called "shadow bones".  Two thousand and five hundred years ago, Sakyamuni passed away under the Sara tree on the outskirts of Kushinaje. After his body was cremated, a total of 84,000 real body relics were obtained, 19 of which were introduced to China and were preserved in the palace of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty.  With funding, 19 pagodas were built across the country. Among them, the earliest Ashoka Temple, which is now Famen Temple, contains 4 Buddha finger bone relics.  Because in history, four emperors launched events to destroy and exterminate Buddhas, known as the "Three Martial Arts and One Sect" in history, most of the Buddha's bone relics in our country were also destroyed at that time.  However, in order to prevent the Buddha's finger bone relics from being damaged, many monks and nuns made "shadow bone" relics to protect the real body relics.  Chu Chen thought carefully now that the relics in the Buddhist niche were obviously different from the real body relics. Not to mention other things, in terms of color, the real body relics should be slightly yellower, but the relics in the Buddhist niche looked more  It's white and looks obviously made of jade.  ??Furthermore, in terms of value, if it is the real body relic, it cannot be compared with thousands or even nearly billions of money. Obviously, the relic in the Buddhist niche should be the "shadow bone" relic.  Some friends may say, since this thing is fake, how could it have such a high value?  ??In fact, the Buddhist community believes that.  False is not false, the shadow bone is the shadow of the spiritual bone, should appear.  To prove the immortality of spiritual bones.  The Buddhist community believes that the relationship between shadow bones and spiritual bones is different. Mr. Zhao Puchu once praised: "The shadow bones are neither one nor different, just like the reflection of three rivers in one month." Therefore, from the perspective of the Buddhist community, the shadow bones are also the same.  The holy bones are also the relics of the Buddha's true body, and their value is certainly not low.  certainly.  In the eyes of Buddhists, relics are very sacred things, and even shadow bone relics cannot be measured by money.  Although it is a pity that the middle finger bone relic in the Buddhist niche is not the real body relic, even if it is the shadow bone relic, it is already an unexpected joy for Chu Chen. Of course, such a precious thing cannot be missed.  Chu Chen called the boss over.  Then he asked: "Boss, I want to take this Medicine Buddha back. Boss, can you part with me?" The boss had looked at Chu Chen before and saw that although his clothes looked ordinary, they were purely handmade.  , coupled with Chu Chen¡¯s temperament and previous conversations.  He nodded and said: "Okay, let's count it as 2.2 million HKD. What do you think, sir?" Chu Chen shook his head and said, "It's a bit high, can it be lowered?" "If you really want it, sir,  "Two million and one million. It can't be lowered any more!" "Boss, this is the price at the auction. It's definitely not comparable to the market price. I'd rather say, one million and eight hundred thousand. If that's okay, please.  Wrap it up for me. If it doesn't work, it means that I have no chance to meet this Buddha statue." The boss pondered for a moment and felt that Chu Chen's price was acceptable, so he nodded and said, "Then let me wrap it up for you!  "While the boss was packing Chu Chen, Wu Ke took Chu Chen aside, pointed at the two incense burners in front of him, and asked: "Achen, I want to buy an incense burner for grandma, which one do you want to choose?  Which one is better? "The two incense burners that Wu can choose from are the copper burner and the blue and white porcelain burner.  Among them, the blue and white porcelain stove has a simple and solid shape, with a round mouth, a slightly bulging cylindrical belly, three legs, and a thick carcass.  The whole body is painted with blue and white figures of the Eight Immortals, with different expressions.  The painting is neat and the layers are clear.  The blue and white colors are elegant and the glaze is smooth.  At the bottom is the six-character regular script inscription "Made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty".  The other incense burner is an imitation of the Xuande elephant ear copper incense burner in the mid-Qing Dynasty. This copper incense burner has no decoration, a mellow yellow color, a pure and thick patina, and exquisite workmanship.  The furnace walls are thick and heavy to hold.  The whole body is sprinkled with gold, and fine gold flakes are shaped like snowflakes, covering the furnace body.  The bottom book has the regular script inscription "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty".  The two copper stoves have their own merits. Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Both of these incense burners are good, why don't you just buy them both?" Wu Ke rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can my grandma use two incense burners?  Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Ask about the price first. If it's cheap, consider the other one as an investment!" "Okay!" Wu Ke thought about it and realized that this was a good idea, so he nodded in agreement.  The price of the incense burner was really not expensive, the two together only cost 15,000 HKD, so Wu Ke bought them both.  After swiping the card to pay, Chu Chen asked the others, "Don't you fancy anything?" "No!" Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue shook their heads together.  Qiao QianHe smiled and said: "I have seen a few things, but I can't afford them all!" After hearing what she said, Wu Ke whispered in her ear: "Would you like me to lend you some?" "  No need! You don¡¯t have much pocket money, do you?¡± Qiao Xi said.  "That was before. The last time I made a mistake with Achen, I made millions!" Wu Ke said with a smile. Of course, she said this because she didn't want Qiao Qian to be too surprised. If Qiao Qian  If she knew that the diamond necklace she bought was worth hundreds of millions, she might be shocked!  Even so, Qiao Qian had a look of disbelief on her face and said, "Is what you said true?" "Is it still false?" Wu Ke said with a smile.  Qiao Xi said with great envy: "Ellie, I don't know what to say about your good luck now!" "Then you should also find a boyfriend like Achen!" Wu Ke said proudly.  .  "Hmph! Don't be proud! I will definitely find someone better than Brother Chu to be my boyfriend in the future!" Although she said this, she also understood that it would be difficult to find someone better than Chu Chen.  Against all odds, the odds are simply lower than winning the lottery jackpot.  Wu Ke said with a smile: "Then I wish you success first! By the way, do you want me to lend you some money?" Qiao Qian shook her head and said: "Forget it, I don't like the days of owing money.  " "That's up to you! " Next, everyone visited a few antique stores, and finally everyone bought something they liked, and because Chu Chen was there, everything was guaranteed to be authentic and affordable.  They are also more suitable.  Walking out of an antique shop specializing in jade, Chu Chen suddenly noticed that Liu Sizhe's face was a little unsightly, so he asked strangely: "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" "Where!" Liu Sizhe smiled bitterly.  Pointing to a stall in front of him, he said: "Well, that's where I got my eyes opened yesterday!" Chu Chen said with a speechless face: "How many people don't have their eyes opened when playing with antiques? Why don't you go there if you have your eyes opened?"  Have you visited the store? This idea is just to deceive yourself! Come on, let¡¯s go and take a look, maybe we can pick up something big!¡± After saying that, he took the lead and walked straight to the stall.  Seeing this, Liu Sizhe smiled bitterly and shook his head. He understood the reason, but if he went to patronize again, he would feel a little embarrassed about his face. But now that Chu Chen said so, he would no longer look like a man if he kept it up, so he whispered  He took a breath and walked over with his head held high.  As Liu Sizhe said before, this stall mainly sells silver products, and a small amount of gold products. As for authenticity, as Wang Xiaoyue said, what good things can be found on the stall, Chu Chen uses  Ability glanced at it and found that basically 90% of the items were fakes.  However, among these fakes, the larger ones contain very little silver, judging from the results given by the superpowers, while the smaller ones are made of real materials, so for the boss, it is also  Some risks can be avoided.  Just like the three silver coins that Liu Sizhe bought, the boss issued an invoice for silver coins. As a result, even though he knew the items were fakes, because the material was genuine, Liu Sizhe couldn't settle the score even if he wanted to.  But what surprised Chu Chen was that among the remaining 10% genuine products, there were actually a few items worth more than 100,000 yuan. There was no need to guess at such a result. He also knew that the boss must have lost his sight.  The first thing Chu Chen noticed was a pair of silver plates placed very casually in the corner of the stall. This pair of silver plates imitated the appearance of flowers, but they were not completely copied. Instead, they were cast and molded according to the actual function and decorative effect of the utensils.  ¡°For example, the chrysanthemum plate in Chu Chen¡¯s hand is in the shape of a chrysanthemum, with a flower core in the center and two upper and lower chrysanthemum petals radiating around it. It looks like a chrysanthemum blooming proudly in the frost, full of vitality.  The other plum blossom disk has a five-petal flower-shaped mouth. In the center of the disk, a plum blossom stalk is swaying and entwined, facing a crescent moon hanging high in the sky. It is tall and straight, sparse and orderly, and people can't help but feel a sense of tranquility when watching it.  Calm demeanor.  This pair of silver plates is light, delicate, clear and elegant. Judging from the style and details, they must be silverware from the Song Dynasty. The meticulous workmanship makes people unable to put it down. Chu Chen estimates that the value of this pair of silver plates should be around thirty.  Around 10,000.  Since the value of this pair of silver plates is so high, why did the boss just put it in the corner so casually?  The reason, Chu Chen thinks, is because the silver plates are covered with patina.  Some friends may find it strange that since it is silverware, how can the surface be covered with patina?     actuallyThis situation is very common when gold and silverware is unearthed in ancient times, especially silver products.  The reason is that the gold and silverware came into contact with other corroded copper before being unearthed, such as being buried with the copperware, and became contaminated with patina.  Another reason is that most silverware in ancient times was made of copper alloy containing certain ingredients. When the copper oxidized and corroded, a patina coating was formed on the silverware.  In situations like this, most of the rust and scale can be removed to restore the original appearance of the original object.  This is the case with the pair of silver plates that Chu Chen saw. Although they have patina, they can be restored to their original appearance as long as they are cleaned.  Of course, it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t clean them, but they just won¡¯t look that beautiful. It doesn¡¯t change the fact that the pair of utensils are genuine anyway.
