Jianbao life

Chapter 312 The last thing left

Many things in antiques need time to accumulate experience and knowledge.

If you have a clever mind, you can learn a little bit in four or five years, and you can learn it thoroughly in ten years. If you want to become a master in it, you have to live for at least 20 or 30 years.

If you are clumsy, you will only understand superficially but not be proficient, the time will be doubled, and even the tuition fees will cost tens of thousands.

There are people like this in many places.

I have been in the antique circle for 20 years, and those who have been in the antique circle for more than 30 years are still on the surface. I have paid more than 1000 million and 2000 million tuition fees, and I have hardly ever bought a real product. These things piled up the house. Yes, you can't get it out even if you drop it in your hand.

If the family is rich and well-off, it can withstand pretense, otherwise it will be like a monkey, the family will be ruined, and the end of the road will end.

"I found a piece of jade."

While the two old men were talking, Li Heng put the old object he found on the newly vacated table next to him. It was a string of [-] tourmaline court beads from the Qing Dynasty.

"Good boy, you are capable!" Seeing the chaozhu, Jin Jiayou gave a thumbs up, "There are still eleven more, please continue."

Among all gemstones, tourmaline has the richest color, so it is known as the "rainbow gem".

Tourmaline is famous for the "watermelon tourmaline" of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Watermelon tourmaline has two colors of red and green at the same time, just like a watermelon. According to records, the watermelon tourmaline of the Qing Dynasty was mainly a tribute from the subordinate countries of the Qing Dynasty in the Middle East.

Most of the court beads in the Qing Dynasty were made of worldly treasures such as jadeite, beeswax, coral, amber, turquoise, peach pit, etc., which were one of the symbols of identity and status.

According to historical records, all courtiers of the fifth rank of civil servants and fourth rank of military officials, their wives and children, and officials affiliated with the Military Aircraft Department, Guards, Rites, Guozijian, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple and other affiliated officials can only wear court clothes. Chaozhu.Common people are not allowed to wear them at any time.

So things like this are rarer and more valuable.

Li Heng nodded, and went to find some bronze plaques inlaid with turquoise and animal face patterns and put them on the table.

This piece is one of the miscellaneous items of bronze ware. Although it is relatively rare, it is still an old product.

This bronze medal has a green luster all over its body. It has a bronze base and is shaped like a shield. The bitan-like turquoise is cut into irregular small pieces, which are inlaid on the copper body and spliced ​​into an animal mask pattern.

However, this bronze medal has gone through a long period of time, and the hundreds of pieces of turquoise on it are still tightly fastened, and there is almost no loosening or falling off.Even if this thing is measured by the current technological standards, it is well-deservedly superb.

"Huh? Is this thing real too?" Zhao Mengjin frowned and said, pointing to the bronze medal.

If this bronze medal is real, it can be regarded as the best.

These bronze medals have been here for at least several months. Zhao Mengjin has seen them no less than ten times, but every time he looks at them, he never thinks that these things are real.

The main reason is that this thing is too perfect, so perfect that it doesn't look like something old.

Bronze ware is a symbol of the status and power level of ancient Chinese rulers, and is known as "the most important weapon of the country".

In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties when bronze wares were prevalent at that time, the bronze ritual vessels at this time were mainly wine vessels, including jue, tripod, jia and yu, etc. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, "the major events of the country were sacrifices and military affairs". Nobles, big and small, such as officials and officials, must hold grand ceremonies to honor heaven and ancestors in order to protect the peace of the country and the people.

Bronze sacrificial vessels are used to embody the "rule of rites", that is, to embody the hierarchical rule system of slave owners and nobles.

The number and size of bronze ritual vessels used represent the rank and status of the slave owners. Slave owners at all levels must use bronze ritual vessels of the same status as theirs, and they must not exceed the proper range, otherwise they will be treasonous.

But this kind of thing is very rare.

Most of the things that can be seen in modern times are waiting for tourists to appreciate in museums.In addition, most of the bronzes that appeared were modern handicrafts, or even fakes.

In other words, no matter how rich you are, you may not be able to pick up such a good bronze ware.

When Jin Jiayou saw the bronze medal, the smile on his face froze.

Not only did Zhao Mengjin fail to see it, he himself thought he was being blinded when he got these.

This young man was able to recognize him at a glance at such a young age. It seemed that he was quite arrogant.

"What? Lao Jin, are you worried?" Zhao Mengjin asked quietly when he saw Jin Jiayou's expression.

"No, I'm not worried at all!" Jin Jiayou showed a confident smile and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "The one who can make me, Jin Jiayou, stumble has not yet been born!"

Li Heng naturally listened to Jin Jiayou's words.

He originally wanted to change his mood when he came out today. If he hadn't been caught by the guys here, he wouldn't have come in and wasted time with the two old men.

Although he hasn't seen many things so far, he doesn't dare to think that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the old man.

But Li Heng is a young man in his early 20s, at the age when he is full of vigor and has his own temper in everything he does.Hearing what Jin Jiayou said, he wanted to find twelve things in one go.

Among the more than 200 treasures, Li Heng appraised them one by one.

Every time one item was identified, Li Heng would take it to the table, and there were more and more items on the table. After a while, Li Heng had already found one item, and the last item was short of it.

Li Heng couldn't find the last one no matter what.

At first, he thought that there might be too many things in the room, and he might have missed some things in his haste to look at the devices. This time, he used his clairvoyant eyes to take a closer look at all the devices one by one.

"It's weird, how could it not be there? I only found eleven of the twelve, and I couldn't find the last one for no reason." After reading it, Li Heng couldn't help feeling depressed.

The result of using clairvoyant eyes to identify it again is still the same. There is nothing in it that is really old.

However, according to what Jin Jiayou just said, there should be twelve of them that are authentic, but since the eyes can see through and identify antiques, there has never been a mistake.

Li Heng pursed his lips.

He had some doubts in his heart, maybe some antiques were relatively recent, and he didn't find them?

Li Heng didn't dare to be sure about his possibility. From the beginning to the end, there was nothing wrong with his eyes.

After thinking about it again and again, he finally had to confirm it with Jin Jiayou again.Li Heng turned his head and asked: "I said, boss, you said there are twelve genuine products here, so you are not lying to me, are you?"
