Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 806
"The round sky and the place have existed since ancient times, and the dragon, terrace and phoenix dwelling are even more ignorant. If you ask about the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, it will be a good practice to go down the mountain for ten years!"

A slightly angry voice came from the room. Everyone saw that Sun Ji was wearing black clothes and a black hat, with a mountain tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead on his chest, looking very imposing.

Sun Ji's words were also a reply to Zheng Jiabao. The meaning was very clear. Let's go down the mountain and practice for another ten years before talking.

"Brother Sun, you're fine!"

Zheng Jiabao didn't care about Sun Ji's words and immediately bowed his hands as a greeting.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zheng, please come inside." Sun Ji waved and welcomed Zheng Jiabao into the back room.

The two tit-for-tat exchanges between the two had already stirred up the atmosphere at the scene, and Zhao Gang also followed him into the room inside.

In the spacious room, there was only one camera position left for shooting, and there were only a dozen or so people who could enter it. The other vacant places had already been filled with things, all of which were covered with red cloth. .

Zhao Gang sat in a relatively front seat, and beside him sat Sun Zhanting with a kind face.While Wang Na and Ding Shanyou were talking and laughing while sitting in the judging seats.

"Hello, Mr. Sun!" As soon as Zheng Jiabao came in, he immediately bowed to Sun Zhanting.

"Okay, okay." Sun Zhanting smiled slightly, and then his eyes were fixed on Wang Na. His brows could not help but frown slightly, but they soon relaxed.

At this time, a white-haired old man sitting in the middle saw that everyone was seated, so he stood up and bowed his hands to everyone, "Thanks to everyone, today's match between Yulong Pavilion and Huai Muxuan , I will be a witness, and I will read out the rules of the competition."

The host roughly explained the rules, which are mainly divided into two, one is to distinguish the true from the false, and the other is to evaluate the price.

It is easy to understand how to distinguish between true and false.But valuation is more difficult. After all, many cultural relics and antiques cannot be measured with money.

There is a saying in the industry called gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

This also reflects the characteristics of this antique from a certain aspect. In troubled times, gold has a price, but antiques are worthless. After all, in troubled times, the circulation of antiques cannot be compared with the circulation of gold. The value of antiques must be reflected in a complete system.

A stable social economy can allow the value of antiques to be fully explored, but even so, the cultural value of many antiques cannot be estimated.

So from this point of view, today's competition is indeed full of gunpowder, and it is also very entertaining.

Even Zhao Gang couldn't help looking forward to it. After all, he also wanted to see Zheng Jiabao and Sun Ji's abilities, but the most important thing was to know whether Sun Zhanting could answer all his doubts afterwards.

"Today we are fortunate to invite several senior people who are well-known in the Jiangdong antiques industry. Today's fairness and justice will be presided over by them."

After the host finished speaking, several people on the judging panel nodded.

"In both rounds, we adopt a game system of three games and two wins. If there is a tie in the two rounds, the match points obtained in each round will prevail, and the one with the highest total match points will win."

After the introduction, the host lifted the first red cloth around him.

After the red cloth fell, a palm-sized Jade Mountain appeared in front of everyone.

This Jade Mountain has vivid statues and delicate textures. Although it is not large in size, it is carved extremely meticulously, showing the majestic momentum of the mountain without reservation.

In addition, the jade used in this piece of jade mountain is also white in color, which is not ordinary miscellaneous jade at first glance.

"Good jade, even if it's not Hetian's top-quality seed jade, it's almost the same. This thing is so rare!"

Someone was amazed on the spot.

At this moment, Zheng Jiabao cupped his hands towards Sun Jiyi, "This is the Baiyu Mountain from the mid-Qing Dynasty that we have collected in Yulongge, please give it to Master Sun!"

"Then I am ugly!"

Sun Ji frowned and stepped forward.

Jade is different from other antiques. This kind of thing is valuable in itself. It is similar to the top-grade mahogany sandalwood or agarwood. It is a masterpiece of nature.

The value of jade antiques is mainly divided into two aspects. One is the value of the variety itself, and the other is the modeling value.There are also some cultural added values, which can be ignored unless they have a relationship with the royal family or someone.

He gently lifted Yushan up, and then looked at the signature at the bottom.

Zhu Yongtai!
Seeing these three words, Sun Ji frowned.

Anyone who is familiar with jade wares of the Qing Dynasty, especially those who know jade carvings, knows Zhu Yongtai. This person can be said to be the master of jade wares in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Yongtai was best at the Yushan project. It took him ten years to complete the "Yu River Control Yushan" project. The huge amount of the project was evident. Moreover, he was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong. He designed most of the royal gardens Yushan himself. fencing.

He is no stranger to Zhu Yongtai and Sun Ji, but the Yushan Mountain in front of him made him have a difficult time.

He has never seen such a small jade mountain appear in Zhu Yongtai's works. The problem arises here. The antique collecting community does not know much about Zhu Yongtai, or it is only a small group of people.

After all, not everyone has the strength to build a few jade mountains in the back garden like Emperor Qianlong to enjoy. Most of Zhu Yongtai's works are still on the TV screen.

For a moment, the surrounding air froze, and a little sweat appeared on Sun Ji's forehead.

Some of the onlookers couldn't help but whisper, "It seems that Zheng Jiabao's strength in Yulong Pavilion is really not an exaggeration. This meeting has given shopkeeper Sun a difficult problem, but this Yushan is also special." Very generally, if you don’t understand this, it is not a wise choice to decide based on the jade variety alone.”

Zhao Gang, who was standing by the side, couldn't help but nodded when he heard someone talking.

In Zhao Gang's view, these people are absolutely right. Those jade articles that can sell for sky-high prices are generally carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, so that the value of the jade articles can be maximized.

And those top-quality jade species that have just come out of the pit are at best just old ores, and they don't have much collection value except for the transaction value.

And the carving work of this jade mountain in front of him is indeed very superb, but it is not without flaws.

"Xiaoyou Zhao, do you think this Jade Mountain was really created by Zhu Yongtai?"

At this time, Sun Zhanting suddenly turned his head and asked Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang thought for a while, "Shouldn't you have seen it earlier than me?"
