    After saying hello to Zhong Dingsheng, Chu Chen took the bronze mirror into his hand and observed it carefully.  £½£½£½£½ This is a game mirror, also known as the regular mirror. In the development of Han mirror, it is the longest popular one.  It was mainly popular in the middle period, including the late Western Han Dynasty to the Wang Mang period.  This type of bronze mirror is generally decorated with the four beasts of green dragon, white tiger, red bird and black basalt, so it is also called the Four Divine Mirrors.  During this period, there were complex decorations on the mirror edges, such as zigzag patterns, curling cloud patterns or curly grass patterns.  The bronze mirror in front of me is like this, with a round shape, a round button, and a round button base. There are eight small nipples on the round base with alternating cloud patterns in the double-string pattern circle outside the base, and four small nipples on the four-leaf base with the Bo pattern.  The decoration of the main area is divided into four directions and eight areas.  Each area has built-in four divine patterns and auspicious animal patterns. The pattern combinations are blue dragon with feathered man, red bird with auspicious beast, white tiger with unicorn, unicorn with bear and other patterns. The bear pattern has both hands raised and the body is bent sideways.  The posture, the shape is vivid, and the decoration is rare.  Its outer ring is decorated with an inscription: "The famous Han Dynasty copper comes out of Dan. Yang, the dragon on the left is ominous, the tiger on the right is ominous, the black bird and the black bird follow the yin and yang, it is suitable to use it as a mirror." In addition, the two-week double string pattern circle around the edge of the mirror is decorated with a linked circle.  Cloud pattern.  The decoration of this bronze mirror is exquisite and vivid, and the composition and arrangement of the round button base and the pattern are extremely rare. In addition, the appearance is excellent, and it is indeed a very rare Western Han Dynasty bronze mirror.  "However, if there is anything special about this bronze mirror, except for the thin thickness of the bronze mirror, Chu Chen really didn't find anything special when he observed it with the naked eye.  In other words, this bronze mirror may just be a very important thing to the owner of the tomb, so it was placed in a more important position.  As for why other bronzes have decayed, only this bronze mirror is so well preserved.  Actually it's quite normal.  The reason why Chu Chen thinks so is also derived from the formation factors of "Black Dark Ancient".  The current academic circles are not unified on the reasons for the formation of "Black Painted Ancient".  Among them, there are three mainstream views.  First, it is formed by the humic acid colloid solution generated by humic substances acting on the surface of the bronze mirror, causing certain substances in the bronze to oxidize.  in addition.  Some people believe that this is the result of natural corrosion after tin plating on the surface of the ancient mirror.  Finally, some experts believe that this was caused by the special craftsmanship at that time.  Therefore, the fact that this bronze mirror is so well preserved does not mean that it must be made of special materials.  But whether there is anything magical about this bronze mirror may not be easy for others to find out, but for Chu Chen, he only needs to use his powers to estimate the price of the bronze mirror.  Seeing Chu Chen put the bronze mirror back into the box, Zhong Dingsheng hurriedly asked: "Boss Chu, are you satisfied with this bronze mirror?" Chu Chen nodded: "Boss Zhong, please give me a price." "  One hundred thousand." As he spoke, Zhong Dingsheng made a gesture.  Lao Wu was startled when he heard this. You must know that in the collection world, bronze mirrors have not received due attention for a long time. As mentioned before, it was not until a large-scale domestic auction in 2004 that bronze mirrors entered the eyes of collectors.  , and at the same time prices began to rise.  And it¡¯s only 2002 now.  Although there are collectors who collect bronze mirrors, this category is not taken seriously by everyone, and the price is of course very cheap. In ten years, bronze mirrors will be worth millions.  The current price is only tens of thousands of yuan. ?? Let¡¯s just say that the bronze mirror in front of you, although it is a front-page model, is quite exquisite in craftsmanship.  The condition is also excellent, but in today's environment.  Twenty to thirty thousand is already a big deal, and one hundred thousand is a sky-high price.  No one will care at all.  Because of this, Chu Chen also shook his head directly and said: "Boss Zhong, even if this bronze mirror is as you described before, it cannot be said that it is definitely a good thing. With the current market conditions, if I buy it for 100,000 yuan, the risk is too great for me.  , I think 20,000 is about the same.¡± ¡°Boss Chu, 20,000 is too low. My purchase price is not cheap, and it has been kept for such a long time. Besides, this is also the case in our industry.  I'm taking a big risk, so please be considerate." As he said that, Zhong Dingsheng bowed his hand to Chu Chen pitifully.  Chu Chen would not believe what he said. Since Zhong Dingsheng could open an antique shop here, and it seemed that it would last for a long time, it would definitely not work without a certain degree of strength. Therefore, what Zhong Dingsheng said was just nonsense.  Of course, even if it was nonsense, Chu Chen couldn't overdo it. He said: "In that case, Boss Zhong, please give me another price. If it is suitable, I will buy it." Zhong Dingsheng thought for a while and said: "Then  Sixty thousand, if it's any lower, I'd be in trouble." Chu Chen pondered for a while and said, "Fifty thousand, if it works, I'll take it." Zhong Dingsheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay.  , justSo be it!  ¡± To say that buying this bronze mirror for 50,000 yuan is definitely a loss in the eyes of Lao Wu, but considering Chu Chen¡¯s always miraculous performance, maybe there is something special about the bronze mirror, and it costs 50,000 yuan.  It was nothing to Chu Chen, so Lao Wu didn¡¯t say much. Next, Lao Wu took out two more things, namely an incense burner and a pastel wide-mouth bottle from the late Qing Dynasty.  There were more or less problems, but Chu Chen was not satisfied. Chu Chen and the others tidied up and prepared to go back. But just as the three of them stood up, a five-year-old walked in from outside the door.  An old lady in her sixties also held a large box in her hand. Chu Chen thought the old lady might have something to sell. ¡°Boss, do you accept anything here?  "As soon as the old lady spoke, she confirmed Chu Chen's judgment. "It depends on what it is.  "Zhong Dingsheng nodded. The old lady thought for a while and said, "It's some kind of water chestnut bottle from the Qing Dynasty. It seems to be, do you accept it?  "    "oh!  " Zhong Dingsheng nodded calmly: "I have to see how it goes first. If it is really an old thing and in good condition, I will accept it.  " "Okay, let's take a look.  "The old lady put the box on the table and opened the lid. Chu Chen looked into the box and found that there was a water chestnut bottle with tea powder glaze inside. The tea powder glaze is an ancient iron crystal glaze in my country. One of the most important varieties in the art, it is a high-temperature yellow glaze that is fired with a high-temperature reduction flame. The glaze is devitrified yellow-green, with fine tawny dots like fine tea leaves flashing out on the dark green background. It is simple, elegant and intriguing. Many Tang Dynasty tea glaze vessels have been unearthed, and products from the Song and Ming dynasties have also been found frequently in official kilns in the early Qing Dynasty. They intentionally imitated the tea glazes from before the Ming Dynasty. Ying invented this glaze color based on the black glaze wares produced by Cizhou Kiln in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, most of the tea powder glaze products in the Qing Dynasty were produced during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, and the tea powder fired during the Qianlong period was the most successful. The green ones in the glaze are called tea, and the yellow ones are called mo. In the Yongzheng period, there was tea but not in the glaze, while in the Qianlong period, the glaze was mostly green, and some had the dull bronze color. It was used to imitate ancient bronze wares, so it was also called "bronze color". When Zhong Dingsheng saw such an artifact in the box, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly started to observe it carefully. It took more than ten minutes. Putting the bottle back in its original place, Chu Chen said, "Boss Zhong, can I get a hand on it?  " "It doesn't matter!  "Zhong Dingsheng smiled and nodded. He believed that a reputable person like Chu Chen would definitely abide by the rules of the antique industry. This water chestnut bottle has a round and full shape, dignified and regular, and fine workmanship. The carcass is delicate, the porcelain is tight, and the body is  The wall is slightly thicker than that of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and the glaze is even. The color of the glaze is yellow and green, which looks like fine tea leaves. The color of the bottom is dark brown. Chu Chen observed carefully and found that the foot glaze and the exposed glaze meet.  There is a circle of small jagged edges accidentally left during scraping. The bottom is engraved with the six-character seal script "Made in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty". Judging from various characteristics, this water chestnut bottle was the most successful one made by the imperial kiln during the Qianlong period.  One of the tea glaze display ornaments, full of royal style, it is a very rare treasure. While Chu Chen was appreciating it, Zhong Dingsheng asked the old lady with a smile: "Madam, I don't know if you plan to sell this water chestnut bottle."  how much?  The old lady said directly: "Two hundred and fifty thousand."  " Zhong Dingsheng was startled when he heard this, because this price is already almost the highest on the market. Did the old lady have someone remind her before she came? Otherwise, how could she have said such a price? Or maybe she happened to think of this price  ? Zhong Dingsheng: "Auntie, your price is too outrageous, let alone 250,000, 25,000 is too expensive.  " The old lady was unmoved and shook her head directly: "Without 250,000 yuan, I will definitely not sell it.  " Seeing the old lady's firm expression, Zhong Dingsheng frowned and asked, "Can't it be cheaper?  " "If you think it's expensive, then I'll sell it to someone else.  " "Auntie, to be honest, no matter which store you sell it to at this price, no one will ask for it.  " "Then I'll take it home and keep it.  Seeing that the old lady still insisted on this price, Zhong Dingsheng really had no idea what to do. Although based on the current antique market, buying this water chestnut bottle will definitely increase in value and make money in the near future. However, this is not the only one on the market.  The water chestnut bottle will appreciate in value, and there are a lot of things for him to choose from for 250,000 yuan. Instead of spending so much money to buy thisBottle, he might as well buy something else, he would definitely make more money than buying this bottle.  Of course, it¡¯s not true that no one is willing to spend 250,000 yuan to buy this bottle. Some wealthy people who are particularly fond of this bottle and have no shortage of money will still buy it.  For example, Chu Chen was standing next to him.  When the old lady walked through the door of the antique shop holding the box, Chu Chen chased after her with Lao Wu and Zuo Shan.  "Grandma, please wait a moment." The old lady stopped and asked suspiciously: "Young man, what do you want? If you want to buy this bottle cheaper, then forget it."
