    While Zou Ying was preparing in the studio, the male host was already interviewing the first-time treasure holder.  Watching the two people asking and answering questions, Chu Chen felt that it was quite novel to see a close interview for the first time.  After a while, Director Xu's intercom came with the news that Zou Ying was ready, and he said to several experts: "Teachers, are you ready? If so, we are ready to start filming!" Everyone nodded,  Said there was no problem.  "Start" "Watch "Collecting the World" and appreciate the world's treasures. Dear viewers, happy Spring Festival to everyone. I am the host Zou Ying. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Please allow me to represent" "Now, please.  Teachers from our expert group, come on" As soon as Zou Ying finished speaking, as the music sounded, five teachers from the expert group came in one by one through the sensor door, smiling and waving to the audience.  Signal.  As the experts entered the venue, Zou Ying also made introductions to the audience. Every time someone was introduced, there was a burst of applause from the audience. Because Chu Chen¡¯s popularity increased, when it was his turn, there was no one in the audience.  Quiet.  Of course, having said that, after all, it is on a TV station. Even if everyone looks down on Chu Chen, if it is arranged in advance, the applause will be equally enthusiastic, and it is definitely impossible to be silent.  "Now we invite our first Tibetan friend Wang Peng" "Dear audience friends, Happy New Year to everyone" While speaking, a slightly fat man in his forties was holding a red cloth bag.  Something got up and came in from the door.  As he walked, he smiled and waved to the audience.  What does Chu Chen think?  Everyone felt that the smile of this treasure holder was very stiff, but he was still smiling at fifty steps and a hundred steps. When he entered the scene just now, he was not much better than this treasure holder.  When he arrived on the stage, Wang Peng nervously shook hands with Zou Ying, and then briefly introduced himself.  "Happy New Year to Mr. Wang. I wonder what kind of collection you have brought to everyone this time?" "What I brought today is a God of Wealth! Isn't this the New Year? I'm giving you a God of Wealth!" Wang Peng said.  He opened the red cloth and introduced.  "Mr. Wang has brought you a rather festive collection" Under the red cloth is a gilt bronze statue. After Zou Ying saw it, he asked strangely: "But why is this God of Wealth different from our ordinary ones?"  What you see is different? There is a mouse in your hand" "Yes, it is different!" Wang Peng said: "This God of Wealth is left by the older generation of my family. My father told me this.  It¡¯s the God of Wealth. I¡¯m also very confused about it, so I¡¯m taking this opportunity today to ask the experts to help me identify it.¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s ask Teacher Sha to help me identify it, please¡± Wang Peng put the statue on the sand.  On the table in front of the teacher, he bowed before walking back to his original position.  "Teacher Sha, is there such a God of Wealth holding a mouse in his hand?" Zou Ying asked.  "This statue is indeed related to the God of Wealth. However, he is not our local God of Wealth." Teacher Sha explained: "The God of Wealth in our country is mainly divided into two categories: one is Taoist conferment, and the other is folk belief.  The God of Wealth we usually see is named Li Kuaizu, also known as Wen Wealth God, and others include Zhao Gongming, Bigan, Guan Gong, etc. " "As for this God of Wealth, his name is Huang.  The protector god of Xifan Tantric Buddhism is the first of the gods of wealth. He is one of the earliest Hindu gods to enter Buddhism.  There are some small differences due to inheritance, but the characteristics are similar. " Teacher Sha picked up the Buddha statue and explained: "This yellow God of Wealth wears a five-leaf crown on his head, with a towering bun, decorated with Mani treasures on the top, and a treasure string flying behind his ears.  The face is broad, the brows are slightly frowned, the face is sulky, and the eyes are big and the nose is large. This is the common angry style in Xifan statues. ""The statue has a bare chest and abdomen, a short skirt around the waist, and decorations on the arms and hands.  The bracelet is decorated with necklaces on the neck and chest. The necklaces are decorated with leaf-shaped flower pendants. The right hand holds the Braga wish-fulfilling treasure. The mouse caught in the left hand is actually called the treasure-vomiting mouse. It does not excrete.  Whatever you eat will turn into Mani orbs and be spit out from your mouth" "This treasure-vomiting rat is extremely fat and has become the most eye-catching part of the whole statue. For collectors, the treasure-vomiting rat is a symbol of wealth.  The bigger the rat, the greater the wealth" "Generally speaking, this statue should be a work from the Xifan area in the 16th century, which is already four to five hundred years ago!" Teacher Sha said,  Wang Peng was really smiling and asked quickly: "Old ShaMaster, can you give me an estimate of the price of this statue of the God of Wealth?  " Teacher Sha smiled and nodded: "First of all, I want to say one thing. It is not easy for us to value things like Buddha statues. However, in the art market, they always have a value to some extent. This statue in the Xifan area  The cast statue of Huang Wealth God is a rare masterpiece among similar statues in recent years. Whether it is in terms of shape or details, this statue can be said to be perfect and an impeccable work of quality.  " "So, I think the market value of this Huang Wealth God is 560,000 RMB!  "    "Wow!  It¡¯s so valuable!  " "As expected of the God of Wealth, I am here to bring wealth to his family during the Chinese New Year!  "What a pity. Why didn't my ancestors pass down such a treasure" There was a burst of exclamation and applause from the audience. Wang Peng also expressed his gratitude to the expert with a surprised look on his face. Then he picked up the things and walked quickly.  He walked out, ready to tell his family the good news right away. However, an assistant director standing at the exit stopped him and stopped Wang Peng, telling him that he still had to get the appraisal certificate.  He took out a red leather certificate on the spot, asked Teacher Sha to write the appraisal opinion, and asked other experts to sign it, and handed the certificate to the treasure holder Wang Peng. "Thank you, teachers" Waiting for the treasure holder to go out.  While interacting with the host outside the venue, the second treasure holder also started to enter. After the treasure holder introduced himself, Zou Ying asked with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I don't know what treasure you brought today.  ?  " "This is it" The treasure holder took out an object like a brush holder from his pocket. "Hey!  Zou Ying was slightly startled: "What is this?"  " "Just call it Cricket Detector!  "The treasure holder said with a slight expression of contentment. "Cricket probe?  What is this used for?  Zou Ying asked with a slight frown. "When we fight crickets, don't we sometimes use grass to stimulate the crickets' fighting nature? This probe tube is used to hold the grass."  "The treasure holder explained with a smile. "Oh~" Zou Ying suddenly said: "Then where did you get this thing?  "The treasure holder danced and said: "My ancestors were high officials in the Qing Dynasty, and this detector was passed down from that time!  I brought it here today just to determine its value. If the value is high, we usually don¡¯t pay attention to it. If we bump into it, wouldn¡¯t it be a pity?  "    "Come!  Let¡¯s look for treasures!  "    "good!  " After saying that, the treasure holder took the thing, walked to the expert table, and put the thing in front of Wang Xiangong. Wang Xiangong picked up the probe and said with a smile: "What my friend just said is right.  The probe is an ancient instrument used to hold crickets to explore the grass. It is only used by dignitaries and is a symbol of status.  "    "oh!  So, Mr. Xu¡¯s ancestor was really a high official!  "Zou Ying interjected. Wang Xiangong smiled and nodded: "This probe tube is made of carefully selected ivory.  The patina is thick and the teeth are yellow" While Wang Xiangong was introducing, Chu Chen, who was sitting next to him, took the thing in his hand and played with it. "The surface of the probe tube is decorated with two sets of moir¨¦ patterns on the top and bottom, and three sets on the middle.  Children are the theme of the decoration, with landscapes, terraces and flowers. The three groups of children are playing hide-and-seek, catching crickets, and playing musical instruments. The composition of the upper vessel is complex, the carvings are exquisite, and the characters are vivid and lifelike. It is a rare example of ivory carving in the Qing Dynasty.  "All in all, such an elegant and exquisite Qing Dynasty ivory probe is very rare.  " Wang Xiangong concluded. The treasure holder quickly asked happily: "Teacher Wang, how much is my detector tube worth?  "Wang Xiangong said with a smile: "Cricket fighting has been a pleasing folk activity in our country since ancient times.  Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, some people who like this activity have higher and higher requirements for crickets, and their value is also increasing day by day.  Before talking about the price of this detector tube, I want to tell you first, Zou Ying, do you know how much a cricket costs?  " Zou Ying shook his head: "I'm afraid of insects, so I don't like to play with this thing!  " "Then let me tell you, a few months ago, a friend of mine bought a cricket with the head of a birthday star for 10,000 yuan!  "Wang Xiangong stretched out a finger. "Ah!  Really!  "Zou Ying had a look of surprise on his face. "Of course, this refers to good crickets, and cheap ones don't cost much!  "Wang Xiangong smiled and said: "As the saying goes: Play with insects for an autumn, play with pots for a lifetime.  Just because there are more and more people playing cricket now, the price of cricket equipment has also begun to rise. Among them, Christie's XiangjiangA Ming Dynasty Wanli colorful petal-shaped cricket jar with a group of cats pattern was auctioned by a selling house in 1998, and the transaction price was 735,000 yuan.  " "If it were now, the auction price of that cricket jar would probably exceed 1.5 million.  The current market price for such an exquisite detector tube should be 150,000!  And there is still a lot of room for appreciation in the future.  " Hearing that his things were worth 150,000, the treasure holder smiled so hard that his mouth reached behind his ears. "But!  "Wang Xiangong said: "Sir, because your probe tube is made of ivory, it probably won't be sold at auction!  " "That's it!  "The treasure holder felt a little regretful for a moment, but he immediately picked up his spirits and said: "It doesn't matter. I came here originally to find out the value of the thing. I never thought about selling it. From now on, our family will also keep this detector tube.  It is passed down as a family heirloom.  Thank you, Teacher Wang"
