Panjiayuan, formerly known as Panjiayao, burned glaze here in the early years, but because the soil was too loose, it could not be burned in good condition, and later changed to burn bricks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Nan really got up early in the morning today: let the hotel front desk attendant wake him up at 3 o'clock and go to Panjiayuan early.

It's not early, it's not early: this Panjiayuan is still a ghost market, which was the case in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

The ghost market is also called the night market and the dawn market: this kind of market is open in the middle of the night and closes at dawn. As far as Zhang Nan knows, there were several famous ghost markets in the capital in the past, such as the "Dongxiao City" outside the Chongwen Gate, the "Night Market" outside the Xuanwu Gate and the "Xiao Market" outside the Desheng Gate...

At that time, the lighting conditions were limited, and neither the buyer nor the seller could see who clearly, in addition, they did not shout, did not light the font number, and dispersed at dawn, and the behavior was similar to that of a ghost, so it was called a ghost market.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the children of the dilapidated big families sold their ancestral calligraphy and painting treasures, etc., because they could not sell them publicly because they had to take care of their face, so they chose the ghost market, and thieves often went to the ghost market to sell stolen goods, and there were some things that came from the wrong way appeared in the ghost market.

In this way, the ghost market has become a place where people have a lot of luck, and they may be able to buy very valuable things for a small amount of money!

Before liberation, because Panjiayuan was located outside the city, the ghost market operation was particularly bold. However, after the liberation, the ghost market in the capital was completely banned.

In the early 80s, the Huaxia Youth Art Theater moved in, and buildings began to build near Panjiayuan - by 1985, the ghost market here was gradually restored.

Many of the first people to arrive in Panjiayuan have not been able to find a job for a few years after graduating from high school, and have become "unemployed youths", so they have to find their own way.

Why did we crack down hard in the 80s? In the final analysis, there were too many "unemployed youths" who had nothing to do at the beginning!

No income, break in!

The Panjiayuan of this society still maintains the ghost market style left over from before liberation, opening at 4 a.m. every day and selling until 1-2 p.m.

Zhang Nan wanted to see if there were any good things and experience the fun of Taobao, so he could only hurry up.

Driving a Mercedes-Benz, I stopped a few hundred meters away, and I saw a big mound like a hill in the shadowy lights!

Before dawn, there were already many people on the mound, and when I went up, I saw a lot of bicycles parked.

Interestingly, the rear rack of many bicycles is a shelf, and the particular ones are still laying a piece of cloth on the ground to put things to sell.

There were already a few people who came to visit, and their exquisite suits immediately attracted the ideas of nearby stall owners!

The rich are coming!

This is the first time I have come to Panjiayuan in my life, and it is not comparable to the five or six hundred stalls in the early 90s, and there are hundreds of stall owners as far as the eye can see.

They sell everything - not all of them sell antiques, most of the ones sold in the neighborhood are bicycle saddles, bicycle handlebars, bicycle accelerator axles, sewing machine heads, old furniture... There are also a small number of ancient books, ancient calligraphy and paintings and porcelain...

Looking at the clothes of the nearby stall owners, not only are there people from the capital, but some may also be peasant brothers near the capital, who came early in the morning.

"It's too early for this morning market!"

Zhang Nan complained in his heart - the conditions here are much worse than the "ghost market" in Shanghai, there are at least street lights over there, and this side is basically lit by flashlights.

I also saw a few stall owners who were slamming the door to light a fire - it was still a little cold in the early morning, and this was both lighting and heating!

Why did Panjiayuan open so early?

Because this will be a long-distance bus from TJ and Hebei Province to the capital has a stop in Panjiayuan, about 2 o'clock in the morning, those street vendors from TJ and Hebei Province take this bus to here, directly to Panjiayuan to sell goods, so that there is no need to stay in the hotel, can save a day of hotel room money.

Among the 100 or so vendors, it is estimated that there are at most 20 people from Beijing, and the others are all in a hurry.

Zhang Nan knows that there is a saying in the "future" of the antique industry in Beijing: no matter how well the antique city opens, it is business, and only Panjiayuan is a miracle!

Marvel?

That's right!

Zhang Nan, who had just arrived at the place, quickly realized what the miracle of Panjiayuan was!

Of course, the owner who wore such a thing would not have come to buy bicycle accessories - the vendor selling the accessories ignored Zhang Nan, but the two stall owners selling thrift goods on the side were interested.

"Sir, the bowls and plates of Yongzheng and Qianlong's official kilns, take a look?!"

The two were in the same hurry, eager to peddle.

"Hehe, don't worry, take your time, it's still early. ”

Zhang Nan said with a smile, but he still squatted down in front of a stall, but he didn't answer a plate handed over by the other party, but took out his flashlight and picked up a bowl on the stall and looked at it.

Zhang Nan didn't see the expressions of the two stall owners because he was looking down at the goods: the two were squeezing each other's eyebrows - although the person in front of him looked at the money, he was obviously not "burning buns"!

The so-called "burning bun", as the name suggests, is the master of burning money, is the "honorific title" of cultural relics dealers to those clumsy-eyed and confident Taobao, and the locals in Beijing often call this kind of "mallet"!

Of course, Zhang Nan didn't burn buns, and he didn't care about the attitude of those cultural relics dealers: he was dressed as a rich man today, just to show the stall owners here, and take out all the things that he originally refused to take out.

As for the price, then hehe...

"Boss, how do you sell these bowls?"

Qianlong alum red five bats and five peach small bowls, the bottom of the "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" six-character official kiln model, the traces of use are almost invisible. Zhang Nan looked at 9 of them, and when he finished reading them, it should be a set of goods.

"Boss, this is the Qianlong official kiln that is wide open, 30 together, a total of 270. ”

The stall owner was right.

Zhang Nan smiled: "Boss, we are not a mallet, such a single one is at most 10 yuan, it is rare to have 9, and I will pay 100 yuan." ”

Zhang Nan is also blind: in the mid-to-late 90s, he heard that when the Panjiayuan ghost market first opened to sell old goods and antiques, a small soup bowl from the Qianlong official kiln was only ten yuan, so he closed his eyes and bargained.

As soon as he heard Zhang Nan's counteroffer, the boss hurriedly said: "This is not good, this boss, it is still possible for us to buy a Qianlong blue and white bowl for 10 yuan two years ago, this will not be enough!"

10 yuan is really not enough, the two bargained, a total of 140 yuan was sold, and each was more than 15 yuan.

This bowl will look like about fifty or sixty thousand after more than 20 years, and 9 will be considered a set, which will be higher.

But it's not for money, it's the fun of Taobao to pick up leaks: 15 yuan of Qianlong official kiln, it's a fool not to buy it!

It's good to take it home and use it as your own rice bowl!

During the Jiaqing year, according to the will, the backlog of official kiln porcelain in the palace treasury was sold several batches, which was hundreds of thousands of pieces at a time, and it was not surprising that the ghost market in the capital could be bumped into casually.

The nine bowls were tied with straw rope and newspaper that tied ordinary plates and bowls, and a long string was made so that it was easy to carry around - Zhang Nan wondered if the stall owner was a guy who sold porcelain in the supply and marketing cooperatives before, and this action was a profit!

Don't look at the packaging to the extreme, but as long as it doesn't hit hard, it's quite safe.

When the business is reached, the boss is expected to make a profit and continue to sell his own things.
