    Vincent smiled and asked: "Mr. Chu, do you also like classical furniture?" Chu Chen replied: "Yes! I do prefer our country's classical furniture." Vincent smiled and said: "Your country's traditional furniture includes  It embodies your country's traditional lifestyle and aesthetic taste, and has profound cultural and artistic connotations. Its unique shape and lean and ingenious structure embody the intelligence and exquisite skills of your country's carpenters of all generations. Therefore,  I also like your country¡¯s classical furniture very much. ¡°It seems that Mr. Vincent is also very knowledgeable about our country¡¯s classical furniture!¡± Chu Chen smiled and nodded, although Vincent may have said this.  It was a compliment, but Chu Chen had to say that what he said did make sense.  my country¡¯s classical furniture is often used in traditional style decoration, represented by the interior design style of palace buildings, which generally reflects a grand, magnificent, delicate and generous style.  The architectural pattern emphasizes high space and large depth.  Indoor porches and other places like to use wooden columns, which are simple and round in style and bright in color.  The carved beams and painted pillars, plaques and couplets, screen partitions, and woven bamboo curtains are all ethereal and elegant.  The decorative materials are mainly wood, with carvings and paintings, and elegant shapes.  The furniture and furnishings pay attention to symmetry and attach great importance to contextual meaning. They are good at using calligraphy and painting, scrolls, antiques, epigraphy, landscape bonsai, etc. to embellish it, rendering the room full of books and elegance.  Being in such a bookish environment every day, observing the elegance of zhi orchid, appreciating the tranquility of bamboo and chrysanthemum, both body and mind are cultivated by art and enjoy the beauty.  This is the unique charm of my country's traditional home culture.     and.  Our country's classical furniture is not only a work of art, but its more valuable thing is that it is an important part of Chinese culture. Like our country's literature, calligraphy, painting, etc., it has its own system, a long history, and distinctive national characteristics.  , outstanding style.  Now, with the improvement of living standards and the revival of Chinese culture, more and more young people in China like Chu Chen who like classical furniture.  This is also because classical furniture is suitable for a variety of decorative styles, such as minimalism, modern style, neoclassicism, ethnic style, etc., embodying simplicity and closeness to nature in the antique style.  Alternatively, you can also gain inner peace from classic furniture.  Gain a philosophical understanding of life from the flow of space and the arrangement of some images and symbols.  Of course there are also economic benefits.  As the antique market heats up, classical furniture is becoming more and more popular among collectors, and its value-preserving function is outstanding. Therefore, classical furniture has also become the focus of some young people who like to manage money.  Like this huanghuali chair carefully made by the Ming Dynasty court.  Not only is it exquisitely made.  And because of its rarity.  The collection value is undoubtedly more outstanding, Chu Chen believes, based on the current market conditions.  In a few years, the price will double.  Of course, in addition to the price factor, the main reason why Chu Chen fell in love with it and wanted to include it in the scope of the transaction was because of its exquisiteness.  Vincent laughed when he heard this and said: "I can't say that I have a lot of research, but I know a little bit about it. By the way, Mr. Chu, since you like classical furniture, in addition to this top chair, I also have several fine pieces here. I don't know.  Are you interested?" He pointed to the row of classical furniture in front of him.  Chu Chen is of course interested in high-end classical furniture, but now it is a carrot pit. Even if he has to choose, it must be as precious as the chair in front of him.  But there was no rush in this matter. He smiled and said, "Of course I'm interested, but let's fill our stomachs first!" While speaking, he also used his powers to sift through the furniture in front of him and found that  Several pieces were worth more than a million, which made him nod secretly, thinking that he would come over and choose carefully later. The porcelain was good, but when he encountered treasures of the same level, he was not going to let them go.  However, when he saw a wooden board-like object five or six meters away that actually passed the screening of supernatural powers, he couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. Such a thing was actually worth more than a million. It was a bit strange.  That's ridiculous.  So, Chu Chen, who was a little confused, quickly used his Lingbao Eye on the thing. The sight almost made him scream in surprise.  "Mr. Chu, what you're saying is, let's go have a meal first and then talk" At this time, Chu Chen's mind was filled with the thing he just "saw". Vincent's words, to him, were just  It was as if there was a wind in his ears, and it wasn't until Wu Ke pulled his hand that he came back to his senses.  Following Vincent out of the door, while Vincent closed the door to the treasure room, Wu Ke whispered in Chu Chen's ear and asked: "Achen, what were you thinking about just now, so lost in thought?" Chu Chen also asked  He knew that he had lost his composure just now, but it was really hard for him to explain this kind of thing now, so he could only put his mind to it.Her worries came out: "Hey, I'm not worried about which one to choose?" Wu Ke did not suspect that Chu Chen was lying. She said softly: "This is actually nothing to worry about. What do you really think?  It doesn¡¯t matter what you choose, there¡¯s one thing: you can¡¯t let yourself suffer.¡± ¡°Yes! Just do what you say.¡± Chu Chen smiled at Wu Ke.  After a very sumptuous lunch, Vincent took Chu Chen and Wu Ke into the treasure room. Chu Chen didn't say anything nonsense, and continued to appreciate the classical furniture.  The classical furniture here comes in all styles, ranging from huanghuali beds to red sandalwood coffee tables, and many of them are palace supplies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among them, the Qing Dynasty accounts for the vast majority, and Chu Chen finds their origins not difficult to guess.  The value of these classical furniture ranges from high to low, but they are all high-quality. If it were normal times, Chu Chen would really like to take home all the furniture in front of him, but now he can only choose the best among the best. This makes  He felt very sorry.  But there was nothing he could do about this, and Chu Chen had no choice but to give up. Apart from the previous top spot, he only chose a red sandalwood throne carved with clouds and dragons from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.  The throne, which sits high on the pedestal of the palace, is a symbol of imperial power and is the highest-ranking instrument among classical furniture in my country.  If you have been to the Forbidden City, you will find that in the main hall where the emperor lived and lived, there is a unique set of furnishings. It is centered on the throne, surrounded by screens behind it, and there are Taiping elephants and palace fans on the left and right sides.  , Luduan, incense sticks, etc., called the "throne room", which is the emperor's "throne".  In addition to the royal palace, there are also similar furnishings in royal gardens, palaces, and mausoleums.  Although there are many royal throne furnishings and the placement patterns are uniform, the shapes and decorations of the thrones and screens are diverse and none of them are the same, which constitutes a unique scene of furniture furnishings in the royal palace.  This form of display is not just a simple furniture combination as people imagine, but reflects the strict hierarchy of China's feudal society.  In the indoor display layout, the throne must be displayed in the center. It is a symbol of the supreme power of the emperor.  Except for the emperor or the empress dowager, no one is allowed to overstep the rules at will.  No, due to the invasion of foreign powers, most of the thrones outside the palace were lost and fell into the hands of private and private collectors among the people and even abroad.  This mid-Qing Dynasty red sandalwood throne with cloud and dragon patterns is a typical example.  This throne is entirely made of rosewood.  Under the face there is a corset, spandrels, bulging legs and pendent teeth, inverted horseshoes, and a mud belt.  The seven-screen seat surround, the back panel, the core of the armrests, and the four lower legs and teeth are all engraved with cloud and dragon patterns in relief, with exquisite workmanship.  The back of the throne is decorated with a lacquer heart and a gold-painted cloud and dragon pattern.  Generally speaking, most of the lost folk thrones are mismatched with footrests. However, this throne is also equipped with rectangular footrests. The footrests are in the Xumizuo style. The treads are plain, and the side waist is embossed with lotus petals.  It is fully engraved with the pattern of two dragons playing with beads, which perfectly matches the throne.  The throne and footrest adopt the typical lacquer technique of Su-style furniture in the mid-Qing Dynasty. They are all painted with black lacquer. After years of vicissitudes, the patina is thick and moist, and the snake's belly is broken and cracked. It is full of interest and further expresses its interest.  The throne and footrest are indeed original.  In addition, in addition to the original footrests, the front and sides of the legs are also covered with cloud and dragon patterns. Among the many red sandalwood thrones collected in the Forbidden City, most of them have plain legs, which shows the luxury of this throne's handicrafts and its noble class.  This throne has precise knife skills, is round and thick, does not reveal the blade, the dragon pattern is lifelike, the cloud pattern is vivid, and it can be perfectly preserved like the throne to this day, which is extremely rare. It can be called a model of exquisite and gorgeous Qing Dynasty furniture. It is for  An important treasure that embodies the emperor's thoughts and craftsmanship.  A throne like this was very high in terms of craftsmanship and collection value. Of course, Chu Chen wanted to get it. So, after choosing two important pieces of classical furniture, he pretended to walk together and looked quite handsome.  Ordinary, but actually extraordinary in front of the wooden board.  "Hey, this is" Chu Chen pretended to be surprised and picked up the board.  Wu Ke stepped forward and saw that the board was wide at one end and narrow at the other, with obvious undulations on it, so he said in Chinese: "Isn't this the body of the guqin?" When Vincent saw this board, at first  He didn't remember what it was, but he still knew a little about calligraphy. When he heard the word "qin", he smiled and said: "Mr. Chu, this is indeed a piece of piano body. It was when I bought that top chair.  , I bought it together. I originally wanted to repair it, but over time, I completely forgot about it. "Why, have you ever learned this instrument?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I did."  Of course I have never learned this instrument, but my fianc¨¦e has.¡± Chu Chen is not talking nonsense, because he said it before.Uncle Wu was the father of a daughter, so he attached great importance to Wu Ke's education. When Wu Ke was young, he found several extracurricular teachers for her, and the Guqin teacher was one of them.  (To be continued)
