Chang Song waved his hand and said, "Listen to me, when I was in school, Professor Gao opened an elective course for all undergraduates in the school, called cultural relics appreciation, and there were two classes once a week. I went back and asked a junior to ask if there was still this course, when it was, and in which classroom. As for you, when the time comes, just go to the audit, and block him after class to ask directly. ”

"Will this work?"

"I heard that Professor Gao is very easy-going, and with his level, maybe it's just a matter of a few words, it's definitely okay. ”

"Okay, then you can help me inquire about it. ”

"I'll inquire when I get back. Chang Song nodded, and then said, "I see that there are a lot of old jade pieces on the stall owner's stall." ”

"Well, but I feel that there are many people in the late Qing Dynasty, and the small flowers and small hats are something, so it's not interesting. ”

"Yes. I like the jade seal, and the most common thing I play now is the pavilion button seal that we bought together last year. ”

Chang Song suddenly looked at Wu Duo again, "However, what kind of elixir have you taken? If it weren't for you, I would have been almost bluffed by the stall owner saying that Song Yu and asking for 30,000 yuan just now!"

"He saw that the two of us were young, and the first one died to report to Gaoli, you see that when I asked Mo Yuyin, he was not so high. ”

"I said you, don't talk about anything else. How did you pull onions on dry land at this level?"

"Quantitative change causes qualitative change, which is to cross the critical point. ”

"Critical hairy egg, I think you seem to be haunted by demonic ······"

Chang Song was joking casually, but when Wu Duo heard it, he couldn't help but stumble on his feet.

Because fertilizers are really not people······

It doesn't matter if you stumble, it seems like you've kicked a thermos out of sei!

Wu Duo hurriedly looked down and saw that it was a copper incense burner on the side of a stall at his feet, which he kicked down and rolled twice, and rolled in front of a Buddha statue behind him to block it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Wu Duo hurriedly squatted down, took the copper incense burner back and straightened it, and at the same time looked at it, after all, it was copper, and there was no damage.

"It's okay, go yours. "The stall owner was a man of about fifty years old, with a red face and a very thoughtful face.

"I was distracted just now. Wu Duo smiled and didn't get up immediately, "Your stall is full of bronze?"

"Well, if you like it, just take a look!"

At this time, Chang Song was also a little embarrassed, "It's okay, right? I'm kidding, why don't you react so much." ”

"No, I'm thinking of something else. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, my stall is full of copperware, not porcelain, don't be embarrassed, don't waste time here if you don't like copperware. The stall owner then said.

"Fate. Wu Duo smiled, "I'll take a look." ”

Chang Song smiled at the stall owner, patted Wu Duo's shoulder again, and turned to the stall next door to look at something else. He had no interest in bronze at all.

The incense burner just now, with a paragraph: the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Duo doesn't need to try, but he can also see that this is separated from the "Xuande Furnace" by 108,000 miles, which is a modern imitation.

However, the bronze Buddha statue behind the incense burner seems to have a year.

This is a seated statue of Shakyamuni, with a large lacquer and gold craftsmanship.

Whether it is lacquered gold or gilt, the most basic purpose is to prevent the bronze Buddha statue from rusting and damage, and also to increase the brilliance of the Buddha statue. Because Buddha statues are often enshrined.

However, the lacquer gold is much simpler than the gilding process, and it also saves gold, so the grade is naturally lower.

The lacquer is the lacquer, first brush a layer of lacquer on the cast bronze statue, dry and stabilize, and then use gold powder to mix the lacquer and evenly paint a layer;

And gilding, also called gilding, also called fire gilding. The gold-plated things we see today are electroplated, while in ancient times the method of "fire gilding" was adopted.

Gilding, simply put, is to separate gold and mercury by heating, so that the gold layer remains on the surface of the artifact, but the specific steps are complicated and cumbersome, and it takes time and effort to do it well, and sometimes it even wastes people - mercury is poisonous after all.

This large lacquered statue of Sakyamuni has the feeling of "big-headed Buddha". It's just that the condition is not good, a large amount of mud gold has fallen off, only a little mottled remains, and a large area of purple-black lacquer clothing is exposed.

Lacquer is naturally milky white, but after oxidation, it turns red, and after a long time, it turns purple and black.

And the so-called big-headed Buddha is the common name of collectors. Some Zen Buddha statues in the Ming Dynasty would make their heads too large in order to depict facial features, which would make the whole look a little out of proportion.

And this style of disproportion has become a key point of identification.

Wu Duo is not far from the Buddha statue, and he can touch it with his hand. Now that he had read everything he could understand and felt that there was a year, he directly stretched out his left hand and pasted it on the bottom edge.

The look of surprise flickered.

Wu Duo withdrew his hand, "Boss, I'll ask for a price." ”

"Young man, I didn't expect you to be young and understand bronze statues. This bronze Buddha statue, I think it is not enough to talk about the late Ming Dynasty. The stall owner laughed.

"But this mud ······"

The stall owner nodded, "If it weren't for the condition, I wouldn't have put it on the stall to sell." That's it, eighteen thousand. ”

This seated statue of Sakyamuni is less than 20 centimeters in height and small in size; at the same time, from the surface point of view, the workmanship is not precise enough, and it is the general craft of folk casting.

If it is the early and middle Ming Dynasty, the price of such a large lacquered gold Buddha statue may be able to rush to 20,000 yuan, and if it is the late Ming Dynasty, it is about 10,000 yuan.

Wu Duo happened to learn about a similar situation at the pawn shop.

"It's high. You yourself said that in the late Ming Dynasty, the small-sized lacquered gold Buddha statues made by the people in the late Ming Dynasty are not at this price! ”

"You know the market quite well. The stall owner waved his hand, "Yes, but if I give it to you, you won't find fault with anything else, will you?"

"That won't be. If you agree to a whole price, I'll give you this Buddha!"

"It's been a long time since I've done such a good business. Then I'll find you a proper box. The stall owner then pulled out a suitably sized brocade box, carefully packed the Buddha statue into it, and then put two layers of plastic bags in it.

Wu Duo transferred the account to him, and took a plastic bag to say goodbye.

If it weren't for Wu Duo's ability to "listen", how would he have thought that this Buddha statue was gilded instead of lacquered gold! It was the early Ming Dynasty and not the late Ming Dynasty!

Just because this Buddha statue in the Ming Dynasty, changed four people to worship, in addition to the original person, later three people have reshaped the golden body of the Buddha statue three times, the gilded base, and then on the lacquer gold, and the last reshaping of the golden body, is in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the craftsmanship will not look very refined, because the original exquisite and delicate craftsmanship has been covered up by the later layers of lacquered gold! At the same time, the vintage will also make people feel less old.
