"Dragons before the Yuan Dynasty were basically three-clawed, and sometimes there were cases where the front two legs were three-clawed and the back two legs were four-clawed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the four-clawed dragon was popular in the Ming Dynasty, and the five-clawed dragon was more popular in the Qing Dynasty.

As for the common people's saying that 'five claws are dragons and four claws are pythons', it was only in the Qing Dynasty that it began to exist, mainly as the difference between the decoration on the clothing of the emperor and his subordinates.

The emperor wore a dragon robe, and the other royal families and subordinates wore python robes, but this was only a difference in name.

No matter what three or four claws, it's actually still a dragon. ”

As he spoke, he took the plum bottle in Jiang Aihua's hand and said, "This is a plum bottle from the early Qianlong period, and it also has a bit of the style of Yongzheng utensils."

The three-clawed dragon ornament in the Qing Dynasty is generally in the Yongzheng period, I have a Qing Yongzheng blue and white seawater dragon pattern long-necked pan bottle, the main ornament is a five-clawed dragon high above, the three-clawed young dragon echoes with its head raised below, and the dragon godson.

The tall five-clawed dragon symbolizes the emperor, and the three-clawed dragon symbolizes the prince, which is a thing that reflects the deep father-son love between Yongzheng and the prince.

However, the three-clawed frontal dragon of your plum bottle does not seem to be there in Yongzheng, and it should be a unique creation of the Qianlong Dynasty.

I speculate that it is the implication of inheriting the pattern of Yongzheng Canglong's godson, and the three-clawed dragon prince Hongli will have inherited the unification, so it is necessary to express the image of the Son of Heaven with a positive dragon.

However, Hongli wants to respect his father, and still expresses Qianlong himself, the son of heaven, in the form of five claws minus two, and cherishes his old man.

This shape of the utensils should not have been burned for a long time in the Qianlong Dynasty, so it will be more precious than the ordinary dragon pattern standard plum bottle, you don't want to make three melons not worth two jujubes at that time. ”

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Jiang Aihua's mind turned and said, "I'll send my dad there, and this thing will still be mine at that time!"

"Haha..."

If this thing is given to his grandfather, it may not be appropriate, the old man is too old: but his father is only in his 60s, and he also shows that he will be a good baby, suitable!

As for the future price of this plum vase, Zhang Nan didn't say: It doesn't take twenty-seven or eight years, it will be enough in thirteen or fourteen years, and at the beginning of the 21st century, it will be at least tens of millions of dollars!

Compared with the same Qianlong blue and white dragon pattern plum vase, the price is at least several times different.

I already have a couple, and I can't move everything to my own home: even if I keep a backhand, this bottle alone will be a good fate in 10 years, so why not do it.

......

The east city is a little farther away, and the southeast of the capital in the 80s is the junction of urban and rural areas, and the houses are low and scattered - not only now, even after more than ten years, the development of the southeast of the capital is not as good as the northwest!

Around 2000, Zhang Nan went to the capital several times, and the northwest was already very prosperous between the second and third ring roads at that time.

There are no tall houses in the urban-rural area, there are many low and dilapidated ones, the roads are also narrow and dilapidated, and the floating population that has begun to appear at present, it is a mess!

Zhang Nan looked at the signboards of the scrap collection station along the way, which is probably a major feature of the urban-rural junction.

The same is true 20 years later.

Two Daben appeared in this area, attracting the attention of many people all the way.

When they arrived at the scrap yard in Lao Lin, they all surprised the people inside.

Fortunately, there is an acquaintance who came down: Captain Chen of the joint defense team.

When Zhang Nan got off the car, he saw that the scale of this acquisition station was not small, a large warehouse-type house with direct access, and he could see that there was a yard full of waste materials behind him.

Yan Guohao said on the side: "This Lao Lin's acquisition station is attached to the supply and marketing cooperatives in this area, and it has a license, and those small purchasing stations nearby have to sell things to him many times. ”

"Hehe, the Rag King, plus the Scrap King. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Yan Guohao smiled and nodded, this is such a character.

Many industries are actually monopolized, the planned economy is still the mainstream, and a small number of semi-liberalized, those who can get into it are basically related households, it depends on whether your relationship is hard or not!

This reminded Zhang Nan of that Qiao Si in the Northeast, didn't he almost monopolize the demolition market and construction market in Bingcheng before he was shot, and the officials and bandits colluded to make that side into a miasma!

"That Qiao Si should already be calling for wind and rain in Ice City, right?"

The brain is a little deserted, and this Chen Xiaodong has already come out with a man in his 40s, this person is Lao Lin.

This old Lin Ke was much spineless than the previous Wang Zhan, and when he saw the situation of the comer, he hurriedly smiled and invited someone into his office.

As soon as he saw that there were still a few angry people inside, Chen Xiaodong said: "Get out!"

Those few people didn't dare to ring, and left immediately.

handed over cigarettes and poured tea, "I'm sorry, bosses, my conditions are simple..."

If you want to occupy a piece of business, now you have to deal with the people in the official face: this Lao Lin also knew Chen Xiaodong before, and that Yan Guohao knew people, but people didn't look down on him as a tattered king at all.

And not to mention Chen Xiaodong, the captain of the joint defense team, and even that Yan Dashao is a junior brother, the way to come here is to go to the sea, not to mention the two Mercedes-Benz and the bodyguards who follow behind.

Chen Xiaodong didn't talk nonsense here, and said: "Lao Lin, you are lucky this time, several bosses like old objects, I know you have hidden a lot over the years."

Take them all out, and you won't lose them. ”

When this Lao Lin heard that this was the case, he didn't know whether these people were really introduced to purchase, or they had to buy and sell by force, but he couldn't afford to offend him, so he tried the basics first.

"No problem, Captain Chen introduced that this is worthy of us, we have to carry it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a little bit in this acquisition station, and there are a few at home, let's take a look at this side first. ”

Zhang Nan sat on a long chair, didn't speak, couldn't make a mistake, just watched Lao Lin scoop things from the desk.

The scrap yard is all sorts of things: a beautiful old copper lock, a copper Buddha statue, and a copper bell weighing dozens of pounds from the yard.

Zhang Nan didn't look at the copper locks at all, glanced at the bell a few times, and said to Jiang Aihua: "It's really tattered, the bell of Tongzhi Nian, I don't know that the temple moved from it." ”

There is an inscription on it, but Zhang Nan can't look at it: it's not a particularly cherished bronze - what is it to move a bell home!

Take it away and give it away?

You're going to get beaten!

The Buddha statue is a Guanyin, which has been simply wiped, and it is estimated that it weighs seven or eight pounds, and it looks like it is also something in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

"These things are okay with this Guanyin, what price?"

As soon as he heard the leader's words, this Lao Lin hurriedly said: "How can I ask you for money, I will give it to you." ”

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "How can the Buddha statue be sent, give a hundred, please go back." The second half of this sentence is said to Lin Ming.

Lin Ming took out the money, and Lao Lin continued with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

The Buddha statue has to say please, and the price of the copper Buddha statue is actually not high, that is, one or two times the price of copper, Zhang Nan has already given more.

Zhang Nan looked at it, it was because this Guanyin was very exquisitely shaped: the hair was combed in a high bun, the bamboo hairpin was obliquely inserted, the left hand was sitting with a joke, the face lines were clear, the chest was decorated with Yingluo, and the expression was calm and kind.

You can take it to the elders - Buddha statues generally cannot be given away, but the exception of sending them to the elders does not require the elders to pay for it, because it is not a transaction with interests.

A small deal is not what Jiang Aihua wants, let alone what Yan Guohao and Chen Xiaodong want.

Here, Yan Guohao said directly: "Lao Lin, right, look at your face, you have made a lot of money this year? Go and get some real things, these, hehe..."

Holding a copper lock in his hand, he threw it on the table at will, and his face was not very good, which made Lao Lin excited!

People are unhappy: this is something in the words, to put it bluntly, you still want to do it!

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Nan stayed away from some people in his previous life.

People like the good things you like in your hands, even if the price is right, do you sell it or not?

Antiques pay attention to a secret play, which is also the reason. (To be continued.) )
