"That's right!" Duan Kun nodded, then saw the box Chu Chen put on the table, and quickly asked: "Brother Chen, before that guy comes, can we come and appreciate yours first?" This Guanyin statue? " "No problem!" Chu Chen chuckled and took the Guanyin statue out of the box. As soon as Duan Ning saw the Buddha statue that Chu Chen took out, he exclaimed: "Hey, the material of this Guanyin statue seems to be lapis lazuli!" "Yes!" Chu Chen nodded with a smile. At this time, Liu Sizhe said with some surprise: "It turned out to be a six-character inscription "Imperial System of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty". From this point of view, it is worth more than one hundred thousand!" "What! There is actually an imperial inscription!" Duan Ning was shocked, After Liu Sizhe admired it, he couldn't wait to appreciate it. This statue of Guanyin is indeed extraordinary. It has a plump face, a high bun on the top of its head in the shape of a curling trowel, its eyes are slightly open looking downward, its ears hang down from its shoulders, and its face is calm and peaceful. The shoulders are broad, the rosary beads on the chest are bulging in the shape of a ball, and the necklace is decorated with round beads. The right hand is raised up to make a Dharma seal, and the left hand is downward to make a wish seal. He sits in lotus position in front of the altar, and the cassock he wears presents a natural and soft look. The lines of the clothes and the solemn appearance of the Dharma are proclaiming the Dharma. Directly behind the pedestal is a six-character inscription "Made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty." The font is clear and three-dimensional. The signature is the writing form of the palace building office during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. This Guanyin is sitting in the full lotus position, and its shape is quite rare. The carving is quite exquisite and delicate, and it is carved from high-quality lapis lazuli. It is also a complete piece made by the emperor. It can be said to be very rare and has great collection value and appreciation potential. Duan Ning spoke highly of this Guanyin statue. Such good stuff is in his shop. It can be used as a store treasure. Putting the things in front of Chu Chen with some reluctance, Duan Ning asked: "Xiao Chu. I would like to ask, I wonder how you got this Guanyin statue?" Duan Kun said quickly: "Ning Uncle, Brother Chen just picked it up at the stall." Duan Ning was slightly stunned, and then asked: "How much is it?" Duan Kun gestured. "Two hundred and thirty-five thousand?" Duan Ning exclaimed: "I conservatively estimate that this Guanyin statue costs two to three million. If you buy it at this price, it is already a big miss." "I don't want that much!" Liu Sizhe said with a smile. "Is it twenty-three thousand and five thousand?" Duan Ning was even more surprised, his voice trembling. "It's two thousand three hundred and five!" Duan Kun laughed. But while laughing, he was also very envious of this. More than two thousand yuan turned into two or three million in the blink of an eye. He didn't know how to describe the speed of making money. At this time, Duan Ning was stunned in shock. He spent more than 2,000 yuan on something worth 200 or 300 yuan, which was really shocking. After a while, Duan Ning came back to his senses and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up: "Awesome!" "It's just luck!" Chu Chen said modestly: "If it were you just now, I would definitely buy it too. "That's not certain!" Duan Ning waved his hand: "If it's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, then I might believe it is real. As for two or three million" Duan Ning waved his hand: Kun nodded and said: "Yes! Brother Chen, you are so bold as an expert. How can ordinary people believe that there are two or three million things on the stall! Since you don't even believe it, you will definitely not buy it "Xiao Duan, I'm here!" At this point, I suddenly heard someone shouting at the door of the store. "Here comes the old man. I'll go out for a moment" Duan Ning said hello to everyone, then got up and walked towards the door. Taking advantage of this period, Chu Chen also put the things back into the box. Not a while. Duan Ning walked in with an old man in his fifties, with some gray hair and a nice smile. This man should be the old man Duan Ning said, but based on his appearance, he looked like a good old man. If they hadn't learned the truth from Duan Ning in advance, none of the four would have believed that there was such a big problem with this man's character. At that moment, the four of them all sighed, people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. The ancients did not expect me! Duan Ning first gave a brief introduction to both parties, and then said: "Old man, it's getting late. You should take out the things quickly, but we have agreed in advance that the things this time are mine. "My nephew, if you try to fool me with something, I won't welcome you in the future." "Xiao Duan, don't worry, no matter how hard I try, I won't fool you!" "He patted his chest and gave him a reassuring look. Seeing this, everyone sneered in their hearts. If it were someone else, they would still be able to let it go.?, for a guy like you who cheats people to death without repaying his life, even if he believes that a sow can climb a tree, he won't believe you! Later, Lao Cai took out one of the two boxes he brought, opened the box, and said, "Don't believe it, do you know how I got this thing?" Duan Ning said with a half-smile. : "Old Cai, you're not going to tell your own fabricated story again, are you?" "How come it's a fabricated story? This is a real person!" The old man said with an innocent look: "I just made it up. I got these things from a friend of mine who has great supernatural powers. Four years ago, an official purchased some cultural relics at a relatively low price from the family of a deceased overseas collector through my friend. The friend had already paid for the other party, but unexpectedly something happened to the other party. " "Although my friend was relatively rich, he had too many things. Although the price was cheap, there were many good things in them, which took up a lot of his funds. As a result, he couldn't turn around the money at that time, so he was anxious to sell these items. I was also very tight at the time, so I only bought five items that were not very good. " "I only sold two of these five items. I have had the remaining three pieces appraised and prepared to collect them myself. If I hadn¡¯t been in urgent need of money this time, I wouldn¡¯t have sold them! You see, there are still ink seals underneath" Old man took it. What came out was a blue and white figure Kong Ming bowl. The Kongming Bowl is also called the Zhuge Bowl. Its biggest feature is that it is made up of two bowls glued together top and bottom. There is an empty space in the middle of the two bowls. There is a round hole connecting the bottom of the outer bowl. People nicknamed it "Kongming Bowl" because of this "hole". "Kong Ming Bowl", Mr. Kong Ming's surname is Zhuge and his name is Liang, so naturally it is also called Zhuge Bowl. In fact, this bowl has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang. The Kongming bowl first appeared in the Longquan kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a narrow mouth, an arc belly, and a ring foot. It is made of two bowls glued together, with a hollow space between them. Because this kind of bowl is a sacrificial utensil used by the upper class, so Rarely seen. Kongming bowl also has a special function. The hole at the bottom of the outer bowl allows boiling water to enter the interlayer to keep the food in the bowl warm, so it is also called a warm bowl. The Kongming bowl in front of you is a typical style. Inside the bowl is a story about the Yellow Emperor making a teacup and teaching future generations that "being humble will benefit, but being full will lead to harm". The figure of the Eight Immortals is painted on the outside, with smooth drawing and rich blue and white hair color. In addition, below the edge of the mouth is a six-character regular script horizontal inscription of "Ming Dynasty Wanli Year System". The bottom of the Kongming bowl owned by Lao Cai actually had a fire seal, which made Duan Kun very happy and relieved. However, Chu Chen was not affected. Nowadays, many people are superstitious about fire seals. In response to this mentality, some people "export the fakes for domestic sales" and deliberately declare them as antiques when they re-enter the customs and send them to the cultural relics management department. Covered with fire seal. In fact, the fire seal is just a permission mark for permission to leave the country. What experts from the cultural relics management department can identify is whether the item is a cultural relic prohibited from exporting. If not, the corresponding fire seal can be stamped. Therefore, the fire seal of the cultural relics management department does not mean that it is an identification result of the authenticity. Duan Kun took the Kongming bowl in his hand and nodded in his mind as he looked at it. He was quite satisfied with the Kongming bowl. However, although he felt that the bowl was definitely authentic, to be on the safe side, he still gave it to Chu Chen first. They looked at it and wanted to wait until everyone said it was okay before negotiating the price with the veteran. After a while, after Chu Chen and others had seen it, Lao Cai said with a smile: "How about it, my Kongming bowl is pretty good." "Uh-huh!" Chu Chen coughed lightly and said first: "This The bowl is really good, but there is still a gap between it and the real thing." The old man immediately turned his face and said: "Little friend Chu, you actually said that this kind of Kongming bowl is not authentic. What you said is biased. !" Chu Chen was not angry, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, I have a basis for saying that." "You said it!" He frowned, he was indeed not lying just now. He was indeed planning to keep this bowl for himself, but now that Chu Chen was so confident, he felt a little unconfident and thought to himself, is there really something wrong with my bowl? "Let me just say two points!" Chu Chen said: "First of all, from the perspective of painting layout and techniques, the paintings of the Wanli period appear relatively naive. For example, the proportions of figures and animal patterns are inappropriate, and the decorative layout of cutters is not as numerous as that of the previous dynasty. Hierarchical layout, some utensils have no distinction between primary and secondary patterns, and some adopt a scattered layout, with patterns and patterns laid flat or floating alone. " "But what about the figures on this bowl? Although it is good, it has a bit of the Yongxuan period painting style, but when placed on the Wanli period utensils, it is a bit nondescript, right? " "This" When the old man saw that it was really like this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and waited for him to come back. When God comes, he opens?? said: "Maybe a certain craftsman just has that kind of craftsmanship?" Even though he said this, he also knew in his heart that this was strong words. Antiques have their own styles in a certain era. If they appear different, Basically, the possibility of counterfeiting is very high. Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about the painting style, let's talk about the color of this blue and white. Judging from the performance of the blue and white of this bowl now, it should be the Hui Qing. When using the Hui Qing, it must be in proper proportion. The ideal green effect can be achieved only by matching the stone with green" (To be continued)
