Chapter Eighty-Eight: Hands Exposed
Many things in the world are like this, and they feel mysterious if they haven't seen it, but as soon as they are exposed, it's just like that.
For example, this tea party, which sounds very upscale, is an upper-class event. But through Brother Hu's live broadcast room, everyone found that the usual gatherings are almost the same, but the things they talk about may be more professional.
Andy and Populus euphratica haven't eaten yet, Hong Lao took care of it, and said with a smile: "You eat something first, don't wait, it's okay." ”
On the table, there are some snacks, and tea and so on. This scene is exactly the same as going to a tea restaurant for morning tea, and the dim sum is the same.
Hu Yang said while eating: "Brother Zhou, the Buddha's head is yours? ”
It was a small gold-plated Buddha head, the size of a fist, and it looked very dignified, but Hu Yang found out that it was a fake through the treasure hunting eye. I have to say that now it is all talents who are fakes.
Chen Lao was very surprised, he just said that this Buddha head had a demonic aura, but he didn't expect Hu Yang to see it.
"Demonic" is a term in the antique dealership, which means that the object is not in the right version, and it is likely to be a fake.
The people at this table, he was the only one who saw that something was wrong before, and even Lao Hong said that there was no problem. Regarding the strength of Populus euphratica, Chen Lao re-evaluated it in his heart, which was really surprising, how old is this guy!
Although Zhou Xing is an appraiser at the auction house, he usually goes to hunt for treasures in private.
This small gold-plated Buddha head was obtained overseas by him some time ago. In that area of the Philippines, people are relatively poor, and they can get it for a small amount of money.
After returning to China, he was proud for a while and showed off in the circle of friends.
With this tea meeting, he plans to unveil this treasure. Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Lao came up, he said that his treasure had a demonic spirit. Chen Lao's strength, he agreed, but he couldn't accept it yet, and he just made a high-imitation fake and came back.
After all, it was already shown off before, and now it can't be taken back.
Many people only know Islam in the Philippines and do not know that Buddhism has also appeared in this country.
Nowadays, there are still some Sanskrit languages in the Philippine native language, and there are more Buddha statues, lotus flowers and other carvings in the local unearthed cultural relics, which can be used as proof that there was Buddhism in the ancient Philippines, but unfortunately Islam has not yet taken root, and Islam has entered from the east.
Zhou Xing has studied that this gold-plated little Buddha head is the shape over there, which is different from the domestic one.
"Why? This is what I got in the Philippines, and the Buddha head over there seems to be like this. Zhou Xing frowned.
Hu Yang said: "I have no research on Philippine Buddhism, so I can't start from this aspect. However, there is a problem with the corners of the eyes of the Buddha's head, which is a bit pointed, and it does not conform to the Buddha nature at all, even if it is a Buddha, it may be an evil Buddha. ”
Chen Lao just said that there was a demonic aura, but he hadn't explained what the specific demonic aura was.
Now, let Populus euphratica say it, and everyone will find out that there is such a meaning. Even if it is a Buddha in the Philippines, there will be differences in shape, such as clothing, the raised parts of the Buddha's head, etc., but the Buddha nature revealed by the Buddha's eyes should be the same.
inadvertently revealed his hand, so that Zhou Xing and Zhao Xin did not dare to underestimate Hu Yang.
The people in the live broadcast room looked funny, and when they first came, everyone could see that these two were still a little bit of a senior. But now, Brother Hu has shown his strength, don't dare to underestimate it, right?
"Come, look at the old abacus I got yesterday. Zhao Xin said.
Isn't this a test of Populus euphratica's strength?
Although Zhao Xin is a well-known collector, he has the ability to appreciate it, and he is not a vassal. When he has free time, he often goes treasure hunting.
For him, picking up a gadget by himself means more than collecting a heavy treasure, which makes him happier more.
This abacus was obtained yesterday from a mobile vendor on the greenway by the Pearl River, and it was only 200 yuan. If he read it right, the overall structure was made of old mahogany, and the arithmetic beads were made of gloomy wood.
Needless to say, the value of gloomy wood is believed to have been heard even by outsiders.
From ancient times to the present, gloomy wood is a treasure, there is a saying: a home with ebony half a square, better than a box of treasure!
The ebony here is gloomy wood.
Earthquakes, floods, and mudslides bury all the plants and creatures on the ground in low-lying places such as ancient river beds, and some trees are buried in the silt. Under the state of hypoxia and high pressure, under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, ebony is formed through a carbonization process of tens of millions of years, so it is also called "carbonized wood".
Ebony has been used as a ward off evil spirits throughout the ages, and crafts, Buddha statues, and amulet pendants have been made.
Of course, there are different types of gloomy wood, and their value varies greatly.
Hu Yang glanced at it a few times, and said casually: "The frame of the red sour branch, the beads are made of gloomy wood, right?"
Hu Yang stretched out his hand, touched the abacus beads, played with them a few times, and continued: "It seems that it should still be a gloomy wood formed by iron wood. ”
In the gloomy wood family, the most valuable is undoubtedly the gloomy wood of golden silk nanmu, a sacred tree that ancient emperors could not find.
Back then, Yuan Shikai wanted a coffin made of gloomy wood of Jin Sinan, and almost searched the whole country, but he couldn't get it together, which shows how precious it is.
The timber structure is finer, the texture is slightly oblique, the heartwood and sapwood are obvious, the material is extremely heavy, hard and tough, difficult to process, only wear-resistant, rot-resistant, resistant to termites and other pests, not easy to deform.
This wood is now a national second-class protected plant.
The gloomy wood it forms is of decent quality.
Zhao Xin raised his thumb: "Awesome! No wonder Hong Lao admires it so much." This is my brother's business card, put it away! If there are good things in the future, remember to take care of them. ”
Zhou Xing also sent his own business card, and today Hu Yang came over, to a large extent, to collect business cards, which are all future network resources, so he did not refuse to come.
Chen Lao also joined in the fun, and said with a smile: "Or, take a look at my bronze cup." ”
"Old Chen, don't be joking. ”
Chen Lao: "Let's talk about it! I'm serious. ”
It is a jue cup, the mouth edge is skimmed outward, the round belly is slightly deep, the front is pointed and the back is upturned, and the lower bearing is three high feet, so it is also called the three jue cups, and there are symmetrical columns on both sides of the mouth.
Hu Yang explained to the audience in the live broadcast room: "In ancient times, bronze ware, no matter how big or small, was a status symbol. This kind of wine glass, also called Jue, our current idiom 'add officials into Jue', Jue is this thing.
It was more popular in the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, people almost didn't know what a lord was.
Since the Song Dynasty, the antiquities as the object of study of gold and stone flourished, people only began to understand the original appearance of the Shang and Zhou Jue cups, and the ensuing antique wind masterpieces, the antique Jue cups seen at present, there are silver jue, bronze jue, jade jue and porcelain jue. ”
Hu Yang looked at it through the treasure hunting eye, and suddenly looked up at Chen Lao with a puzzled face, with a somewhat strange expression.
"How's it going?" asked with a smile.
