After hearing what the old man said, the man sneered: "Come on, you say it's worth money? Besides, even if it's worth money, it has to be real. This article was originally published by. And, I'm curious, if it's really valuable If you just put a very tall thing in this bag, who would believe it?" The old man said angrily: "I just bought it from someone else and was about to go home. Who knows if you hit someone and escaped? "You're still beating someone!" The woman sneered: "Hey! You're already in your seventies, you don't know what it means to overestimate your capabilities?" "How can you say that?" Isn¡¯t it reasonable for you to do this? ¡± Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman who had just stopped the fight became furious and cursed, and the other people¡¯s faces were also not good-looking. Seeing that Chu Chen's face was a little gloomy, the man quickly pulled the young woman's hand and asked her to stop talking. Then he said to the old man: "No matter what you say, I won't believe it." At this time, The policeman said: "Okay! Isn't there Director Chu here? Just ask him to help with the identification." After hearing this, everyone realized that there was an expert like Chu Chen, so the old man quickly The things were handed over to Chu Chen. As mentioned before, the sacrifice statue is in the shape of a sacrificial cow, but this purple sand sacrifice statue is not a simple imitation of a cow, but has been processed by the artist. The head is slightly longer than that of a cow, and the ears are high. The whole body is strong and muscular. The overall shape is as strong as an ox but more intelligent and agile. In the middle of the back of the sacrifice statue, there is a round cover similar to the lid of a hip flask, which cleverly forms a semi-circular cover button, underneath the cover button on the sacrifice statue's back. It is the entrance where wine is poured into, and the wine is stored in the belly of the cow. The outlet of the wine, that is, the "flow" of the modern hip flask, is in the mouth of the Xi Zun, when the ancients used the Xi Zun to pour wine. The wine flowed from Xi Zun's mouth, which was very interesting. "It's a pity that one of the hind legs of this sacrificial statue is broken, and the fracture is very new. It may have been broken by falling to the ground just now." Seeing Chu Chen's eyes move away from Zisha Xizun, the old man quickly asked: "Teacher Chu. How are you?" Seeing the old man's hopeful eyes, Chu Chen sighed secretly and said: "Old sir, I'm sorry. , There is still some difference between this purple sand sacrifice statue and the real thing." "Ah!" the old man exclaimed. A look of disbelief. Seeing this, Chu Chen explained: "Why do I say there is some difference between it and the real thing? First of all, the popular regular script font for purple clay teapots in the Ming Dynasty was mostly carved with bamboo knives. The engravings on bamboo knives are different from those on metal knives, so they are easy to identify. The clay carved with the bamboo knife will overflow to both sides, leaving traces above the surface; the mark carved with the metal knife is below the surface of the clay. "And the markings on this object are obviously carved with a metal knife." There are also differences between Chen Zhongmei's original work. In addition, the shape of this artifact is a bit stiff, and the clay material is also somewhat different" After hearing Chu Chen's detailed explanation, the old man was silent for a while. Why don't I believe it? In the face of the facts, I have to admit that I did have an eyelash. Seeing this, the man gloated and said: "Haha, I just said it. How could it be true!" "Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet! Although this thing is not authentic, it is from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. A masterpiece among period imitations!" Chu Chen glanced at the man, and then asked him why he came to this conclusion. I explained it to everyone, and finally said: "So, I think this should be an imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and it is a very good imitation. The market value should be around 20,000 yuan." Speaking of which, based on the man He still hoped that this thing was genuine, so that the man could remember today's lesson. But if it is indeed genuine, it would be a pity if it is damaged like this. But now this result is just right. It can allow the man to pay a sum of money without feeling too regretful because of the damage. Knowing that his things were still worth 20,000 yuan, the old man felt a little relieved. Although the price was a bit high compared to the money he spent, at least he didn't lose everything. For the man, although 20,000 yuan is a lot of money, it is still within his tolerance range. In the end, he can only hold his nose and admit it. However, this was also because Chu Chen was present, otherwise he would not be compensated for the money if he was killed. The young woman went to her car, took out the money and paid it to the old man. The old man also handed the damaged sacrificial statue to the man. Then, the man said: "We have nothing to do, so I'll leave." Seeing the man about to leave, the police quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey! Today's accident has not been investigated clearly, please tell me Let¡¯s go to the police station.¡± The man frowned and was about to go.When he was talking about something, he saw Chu Chen looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. He secretly said "bad luck" and didn't dare to say anything more. He and the young woman got into the police car in despair. "Teacher Chu, please sign your name for me!" "Director Chu, I have an ancestral jade pendant here. Please help me identify the generation" "Teacher Chu, I have a piece of porcelain at home. I heard that it was awarded by Emperor Qianlong. "It's for my ancestor, can you help me look at it?" "Teacher Chu, I have a painting of Tang Bohu at home. Several experts have looked at it and they all said it is authentic. I wonder if you are interested" After the police car left, onlookers swarmed around. Some want Chu Chen's signature, some want Chu Chen to help identify treasures, and some want to sell items. For a moment, Chu Chen's surroundings seemed to suddenly turn into a vegetable market. Even pedestrians not far away were startled and ran over to see what was going on here. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen quickly shouted: "Everyone, I'm really sorry. I have some urgent matters to go to Panjiayuan. If you really have treasures that you want to appraise or sell, you can take the things to my store, or go directly to Zeng. Hua Museum, as long as I am present, everyone will not be charged for the appraisal. " "Of course, there are no rules. This opportunity is only once, I hope you can forgive me! " "Mr. Chu, you are too polite, no matter what, you can't let it go. "You've been working for nothing." "That's right, Teacher Chu. Should we register with you?" Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving now. It's too late." At this point, he faced the arrogant middle-aged man and said, "Brother, can you help me register for you?" The middle-aged man was slightly startled, and then nodded in surprise: "No problem, no problem. Question!" Chu Chen smiled and expressed his gratitude, then handed him a business card and said, "I would also like to ask this big brother to help me register. You can put the list in my museum or store, or you can call me. " "Okay" Then, Chu Chen bowed his hands to everyone and walked towards his car, and the people also consciously made way for Chu Chen. "He is an expert after all. He has no airs at all." "Yes, the more knowledgeable a person is, the more polite he is, unlike some experts nowadays who have few abilities but have a terrible attitude, as if others owe him money. " While everyone was discussing there, Chu Chen was almost walking to the car. At this moment, a voice suddenly called him from behind. When he looked back, he found that it was the old man just now. "Uncle, do you have anything else to do?" Chu Chen asked with a smile. The old man gasped and said, "Teacher Chu, I'm sorry to disturb you. I have two other things at home, which I bought from the same person. I feel a little worried. I don't know when you will be free. Can you help me take a look?" "How about you come to my antique shop tomorrow morning?" Chu Chen pondered for a moment. Thinking of going to Zhu Hanyue's courtyard house tomorrow to take out the treasure from the well, I decided to set the time for the day after tomorrow. actually. The reason why Chu Chen took the treasure out of the well now was just because he wanted to wait for forty-nine days after Zhu Hanyue's death, otherwise he would feel somewhat disrespectful to Zhu Hanyue. "UmI don't know where your store is." The old man said a little embarrassed. Chu Chen reacted immediately, gave the old man his business card, and said with a smile: "You can give me a call before you come." "Okay" After the old man said goodbye, Chu Chen sat back. In the cab, while driving, he recounted what happened just now to Uncle Wu and Zhu Dafu. The two elders were surprised that there was such an arrogant person, and they also admired Chu Chen's behavior just now. The journey was uneventful. After parking the car in the parking lot of the antique market, Chu Chen took Uncle Wu and Zhu Dafu to Zhao Xueyi's shop. At this time, there was a security guard standing outside the store. This was sent by Lao Wu from the store after listening to Chu Chen's instructions. Chu Chen greeted the security guard and asked the security guard about the situation. The security guard told them that the police had already arrived. As for the extent of the damage, they could only wait until Zhao Xueyi came back. Chu Chen nodded. At noon, Zhao Xueyi was already on his way back. It was estimated that he would be able to get here in two or three hours. Therefore, Chu Chen was ready to wait in the store. Because they wanted to preserve evidence, Chu Chen and the other three just looked at the door and saw only the things inside, not to mention the Bogu frame.??, even an Eight Immortals table was smashed into pieces, which made everyone very angry when they saw it. Chu Chen even vowed in his heart that he must make Lin Laosan look good! Because of this incident, a group of three people came to Chu Chen¡¯s shop to wait for Zhao Xueyi¡¯s return. Chu Chen received a call from Zhao Xueyi, saying that he had arrived at his antique shop, so after hanging up the phone, Chu Chen and the others hurriedly walked over together. Chu Chen and the others arrived at the antique shop together with the police who got the news. After everyone greeted them, the police began to work first. After being busy for a while, the official business was finally finished. Seeing the policeman preparing to leave, Chu Chen asked: "Officer Wang, have you found those people?" "Three have been arrested, and two more are being hunted, but they should be close soon." "Thank you, if you have any news , I need you to call me and tell me." "It should, it should" After the police left, Chu Chen said apologetically: "Uncle Zhao, I'm really sorry for what happened this time, if it weren't for me. If so, it won't cause you such a big loss. " "Xiao Chen, it really doesn't matter. If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come." Zhao Xueyi smiled openly, although the loss this time is not big. From the sadness in his eyes, it could still be seen that he had damaged his shop so seriously. Still very sad. "Moreover, what happened today is my own fault. If I hadn't done something wrong at the beginning, I wouldn't have offended people like Lin Laosan. As the old saying goes, you can't survive if you do your own fault!" Zhao Xueyi He shook his head and sighed. At this time, he deeply regretted what happened last year. If it happened again, he would definitely not do that. However, there is no regret medicine in this world. He could only swallow this bitter pill silently. "Forget about the past, let's clean this place together, and ask someone to repair the door. When we're done, we can go have dinner." Uncle Wu suggested. "Okay" Everyone nodded in agreement. It was almost time to get off work anyway. Chu Chen called Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping over. With more people and more strength, the store should be cleaned up in a short time. "Huh?" When they were halfway through cleaning, everyone heard Zhou Wenping scream in surprise in the corner. "Lao Zhou, what happened?" Lao Wu raised his head and asked. Zhou Wenping pointed at something and said excitedly: "Come and take a look, there seems to be something in here!" "Is there something?" After hearing this, everyone hurried over. The thing Zhou Wenping was pointing to was a blue and white wine jar nearly fifty centimeters tall. The surface of the wine jar is decorated with two patterns of blue and white. One side is square and contains stories about characters, and the other side is in the shape of a leaf and is decorated with a picture of fishing alone in the Hanjiang River. From the aspects of the performance of the decoration and the color of the blue and white. This should be a wine jar from the late Ming Dynasty. However, the color of the green material is not very good, and the painting skills are not outstanding. It is just a very ordinary folk kiln work, estimated to be worth two to three thousand yuan. This is because the wine jar is relatively large. It¡¯s not an easy relationship to make. Now, someone used something to smash the upper part of the wine jar. It's even less valuable, but that's why. Instead, everyone can see the very obvious compartment at the bottom of the wine jar. Seeing this situation, Zhao Xueyi was a little stunned and said in disbelief: "I thought this wine jar couldn't be sold, so I put it here temporarily. I didn't expect it to have a mezzanine." Zhu Dafu said with a smile. : "Old Zhao, then you are a little too careless. When you bought it, didn't you know to check it?" Zhao Xueyi frowned and recalled for a moment, and said: "This thing was from when I bought the house last year. , the owner gave it to me as a gift, how could I check it carefully?" Uncle Wu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's see what's inside." As soon as he finished speaking. Chen found a tool and opened the compartment, only to see a stack of things wrapped in thick paper. Chu Chen immediately suggested: "Let's go, it's a little inconvenient here. Let's talk about it at Bazhen Jade Food." Everyone had no objection, and quickly put down their work, explained to the security guard, and walked to the hotel together. "I, Old Zhao, will never have this day!" After entering the private room, Zhao Xueyi laughed, quickly put on his gloves, and couldn't wait to open the paper, and saw three folded booklets inside. Sutra folding is one of the methods of mounting Chinese calligraphy and painting. It is made by folding the length of the scroll into a book form, and pasting the writing on the front and back. This style is often used for Buddhist scriptures It evolved from the scroll package. Since the roll package is time-consuming to unfold and roll up, it is more convenient to fold it. All folded books. They are all called "folded books". Zhao Xueyi rubbed his hands excitedly, and then opened one of the folded books. When he saw the content inside, his eyes widened immediately and he exclaimed in surprise: "It's actually a rubbing of Shiguwen!" Shiguwen is a stone inscription carved by Qin Dynasty. , named after its carved stone that looks like a drum. In the lines of the Stone Drum Inscriptions, there are no traces of pictographic pictures like Oracle Bone Inscriptions, nor are they like the scattered variations of other Eastern Zhou Dynasty writings, but are entirely composed of lines. ¡°Shigu inscriptions are more standardized and more serious than bronze inscriptions, but they still retain the characteristics of bronze inscriptions to a certain extent. It is a transitional calligraphy style that developed from bronze inscriptions to Xiaozhuan. Its structure is square and even, stretched and generous, the lines are horizontal and vertical, and the thickness is basically the same. It even pays great attention to the composition and layout. Every word in the article is written in detail, but attention is paid to the relationship between the upper, lower, left and right sides, and the posture is orderly and the back is harmonious. It is said that before the Stone Drum Inscriptions, Taishi Zhou, King of Zhou Xuan, once transformed and organized the bronze inscriptions and wrote fifteen chapters in large seal scripts, so the large seal scripts were also called "Zhouwen". The Shiguwen is one of the relatively complete and large number of characters in the seal script that was passed down to later generations. There are ten stone drums in total, two feet high and more than one foot in diameter. They look like a drum and are thin at the top and thick at the bottom and slightly rounded at the top (actually in the shape of a tablet). Because the inscriptions talk a lot about fishing and hunting, they are also called hunting tablets. The stone drum was unearthed in Sanchouyuan, Tianxing in the early Tang Dynasty, and was later moved to Fengxiang Confucius Temple. During the wars of the Five Dynasties, stone drums were scattered among the people. In the Song Dynasty, after many twists and turns, they were finally collected. These stone drums are now preserved in the Forbidden City. You may find it strange, since the stone drum is now in the Forbidden City, why are the rubbings so valuable? If all the inscriptions on it are clearly preserved, then the value of the rubbings will certainly be limited. However, most of the inscriptions have been obliterated, and none of the ninth drum has any inscriptions left. In this case, rubbings have research value. "The rubbings of Shiguwen existed in the Tang Dynasty, but they have not been handed down. The Shigu Song rubbings collected by Song Anguo were sold to the islanders by Qin Wenjin during the Republic of China. In addition, there are three early rubbings circulating in the society: Pioneer, Zhongquan and Houjin from the Northern Song Dynasty. Among them, the 422-character rubbings from the Northern Song Dynasty in the Tianyi Pavilion are the best. However, the original rubbings have been lost, and now we can only see the photos of these three kinds of rubbings collected by Guo Moruo in the island country in the 1930s (To be continued) PS: Thank you "Langli Gelu" for your monthly vote!
