Chapter 278: The Most Difficult Ancient Jade to Imitate

There have been some "jade gangmao" on the market, and even many auctions indicate that it is the jade gang mao of the Western Han Dynasty, but it is difficult to get recognition.

Because the lettering is not a "jumping knife gossamer", and some even turn out to be seal books and official scripts, such things are by no means the jade gang mao of the Western Han Dynasty.

And this kind of jumping knife hairspring lettering book style is called "殳书" (similar to the uncle's pronunciation).

The book is an ancient font, often using the technique of borrowing and subtracting the pen, it is very difficult to recognize, and it is gradually lost after the Western Han Dynasty, and now it can only be seen on the rigid and strict Mao of the Western Han Dynasty.

The original meaning of the word 殳 is a weapon. In the Zhou Dynasty, the people who took the money were generally the guards who followed the king, and these people also had to give orders and receive news, and for convenience, they were engraved on the box in their hands. Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and the carving is generally fast, and the strokes are thin and sloppy.

This is where the book of the memorial comes from.

The jade of the Western Han Dynasty, whether unearthed or handed down, is extremely rare and extremely precious. Moreover, it is the most difficult to imitate - because of this book of jumping knife gossamer.

Why does the jade gang mao have to be engraved in a book of honor? Because it has to be fast.

Why is it carved so quickly? Because it has to be done on the first day of the new year. As soon as the hour passes, it will stop, so it is called "the first month of the first month". As soon as the time passes, there is no "effect" to ward off evil spirits, and this is useless.

In the eyes of connoisseurs, the real jade gang mao, that is, the jade gang mao with a jumping knife and a gossamer book, is only the one of the Western Han Dynasty.

The two characters of Gangmao are flexibly integrated, which is an ancient character "Liu", symbolizing the prosperity of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, after Wang Mang usurped power, he ordered that it was strictly forbidden to wear a rigid mao. The book of the jumping knife gossamer gradually disappeared.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, there is also a part of the jade gang mao, and the shape is similar to that of the Western Han Dynasty, but the lettering is difficult to have the characteristics of the book of jumping knife and gossamer.

There are also a large number of imitations in later generations, including the modern era of extremely advanced jade tools, but this kind of engraving is too difficult to imitate, and it is difficult to resemble it, let alone look like it.

If you really understand Yugangmao, you don't need to look at anything else, just look at the lettering, and you will see it.

Therefore, the Western Han Dynasty's rigid and strict Mao is the most difficult to imitate ancient jade. The imitations of the past dynasties that appear on the market, no matter how they are labeled, are difficult to get a high price.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, the jade gang mao and Yan Mao were generally worth hundreds of thousands at most. And the imitations of later dynasties and generations are even more valuable.

And the real Western Han jade Gangmao, because it is special and rare, just refers to a piece of jade the size of a belly, and there should be people rushing to ask for millions of dollars.

"This jumping knife hairspring is really wonderful. Lin Fengcao has a deep historical foundation and an artistic appreciation, which is very impressive.

In fact, many people may not like it if they go to the museum to see the real thing and look at the book of the jumping knife gossamer. It's a bit like elementary school writing, the glyphs are not very regular, and there are too many repetitive nicks and staccato places.

But if you sink in, that kind of deep antiquity is a different kind of beauty.

Yu Yao knew what the thirty-four calligraphy fonts on the gang Mao were, and he also had the eye to identify the jumping knife hairspring, but he only had a general understanding of the meaning, and seeing that Lin Fengcao was so proficient, he couldn't help but let him explain it in detail.

"The first lunar month refers to the hour, which alludes to the word 'Liu', and is also similar to the opening prayer of a mantra. ”

"Lingzhen Quartet, talking about the shape of this weapon, the copper square prism, but also borrowed the font originally engraved on the copper Zhenshu, as well as the meaning of psychic. ”

"Red, blue, white and yellow, the four colors are when, it is said that the four colors represent the four directions, wearing this thing, can block the four demons and monsters, and the encroachment of the ghosts. ”

"The emperor ordered Zhu Rong to teach Kui Long, which means that the Emperor of Heaven asked Zhu Rong, the god of fire, to admonish Kui Long not to do evil, which actually alludes to the just protection of Heavenly Blessing and Decree. ”

"I dare not be a plague, which means that wearing it is just on the body, and all kinds of diseases are far away from one's body, and from then on health and health are always accompanied. ”

Lin Fengcao then sighed, "I've only seen a pair of real Western Han white marble in foreign museums, but that's through the glass cover. I didn't expect to be able to play with it today, and it would be better if there was another Yan Mao. ”

"You're too greedy, too. Yu Yao smiled, "This is already a big luck, I only thought it was a little special at first, I wanted to take a closer look, but I didn't expect that it was actually a white jade from the Western Han Dynasty! Although the jade quality is not too white, there are small bumps, but the overall is still good!"

"This thing, starting at 5 million, if it is on the international auction, it is not impossible to rush to 10 million. Lin Fengcao put it back on the table, "You leak, I see it like a dream." ”

Yu Yao covered Yu Gangmao with his hand, "You can take it to play for two days, by the way, you can extend the book, just give it back to me before I leave." ”

"Huh?" Lin Fengcao was stunned, "You are so relieved?"

"I have no worse eyesight than I can see antiques. Besides, you are a professional in historical research, so you can make the best use of it!"

Lin Fengcao arched his hand, "Then I'll be disrespectful?"

"Didn't you say it? Yu Yao took his hand.

Lin Fengcao carefully put it away.

The two of them sat in a secluded position, and their voices were very low, and Yu Gangmao was very small, so there were few customers in the store at this time, so they didn't attract much attention.

The fried sauce at this shop is very authentic, using dry yellow sauce, the ratio of fat and lean to diced meat is just right, the sauce is fragrant and the meat is quite good, and the noodles are also firm and smooth. In addition, Yu Yao was in a good mood and ate two large bowls of noodles.

This is really a jade gang falling from the sky.

Lin Fengcao said that he was like a dream, why not Yu Yao?

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Yu Yao calmed down, lit a cigarette, and called Zhong Yu.

"You're really picky, I just sat down and lit a cigarette. ”

Zhong Yu's tone was more relaxed, and Yu Yao made up his mind, "I was in Yanjing, and I suddenly remembered you." ”

"I'm afraid it's not sudden, right?" Zhong Yu smiled.

Yu Yao thought for a while, "I met Cheng Xiaonian, I haven't heard you say it before, and now I know that he turned out to be the adopted son of the lame master." ”

"When we were in middle school, we were in the same class. Zhong Yu's tone was still relatively relaxed.

"How are you over there?" Yu Yao paused, "You don't want us to ask, so I haven't called." ”

"There is still no conclusive news of my uncle. However, I can't be idle, and the lame man's life is getting harder and harder. Zhong Yu's tone was a little more serious, "Since you mentioned Cheng Xiaonian, I think the lame man's way of thinking, I'm afraid that only the kiln factory should be kept in the porcelain capital, and the external focus will be through Cheng Xiaonian's Jiuding Hall." ”

"Do you want to demolish Jiuding Hall?" Yu Yao said coldly.

"Demolished?" Zhong Yu was stunned, "I haven't seen you for many days, your tone is a little big, Cheng Xiaonian is not as simple as you think." ”

"I didn't say a day to tear it down. Yu Yao smiled, "Seeing that you are in good condition, I am relieved." Listen to me slowly. ”
