Seeing that it was so easy for Zhao Tianming to make money, Huang Qifei finally stopped worrying about this guy. If you're worried about him, you might as well think about how you can get rich!

If he wasn't interested in antiques, he would really be tempted to mix with Zhao Tianming.

I worked hard, more than 10,000 a month, and I was already a good mix among my classmates. However, compared with Zhao Tianming, he is simply scum! It has only been since it came out, and it will be at least tens of thousands of dollars in the bag.

"You're still a great kid!" Huang Qifei said.

Zhao Tianming explained: "This kind of opportunity is not every day, sometimes it depends on luck, after all, there are fakes on the market, and it is not so easy to pick up leaks." ”

Huang Qifei rolled his eyes and said secretly: If you have this kind of opportunity every day, you still have it? Wouldn't you kid want to become a billionaire?

Along the way, I looked at several stalls in a row, and it was really difficult to find anything valuable.

"There's an antique shop in front of me that specializes in selling the treasures of the study, let's go and have a look. Zhao Tianming said. He had the impression that there was such an antique shop. However, you also have to be mentally prepared for the price of the items inside, and it will definitely not be too low.

Huang Qifei came out with tens of thousands, just to buy a good baby, and the first time he brought a gift to the door, it couldn't be too shabby.

"It's up to you. He actually doesn't know much about Zhao Tianming's appraisal skills, but he still believes in Zhao Tianming unconditionally, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

They walked to the antique shop, which was an antique shop called "Scholar's Room", which specialized in pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the like.

The study room is the study of the ancients, because the study of the ancients is generally equipped with four kinds of writing items: pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so the descendants use the four treasures of the study to borrow the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Don't look at the calligraphy, it's a small room, but there are a lot of items inside.

In addition to pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, there are also pen holders, pen holders, paperweights, water bowls, seals, arm rests, and so on.

Pen holders, pen holders, paperweights, stamps, you may have seen or heard of them. The water bowl and armrest will be relatively unfamiliar, because in modern study rooms, there may be few shadows of them.

The water bowl is also called pen washing, which is actually a tool for washing pens. The tip of the famous pen is very delicate, and the pen must be washed immediately after writing, otherwise, the ink is gelatinous and can erode the nib. The ancients must wash their pens when they learned, so Wang Xizhi has the story of the pond water being completely black. Today's famous calligraphers and painters also wash their pens after they finish their works, so the pen wash is an important tool for the study.

The arm rest is mainly used for pillow arms when writing and painting, and is also called arm rests and wrist pillows. In the past, the writing format in our country was from right to left, and in order to prevent the arm from being stained with ink, this kind of pillow arm was produced.

According to Zhao Tianming's understanding, the arm rest was originally called the "Secret Pavilion". In ancient times, the secret pavilion was the name of the place where the secret books were stored, referring to a library and archival institution in the inner government, and the secretary was in charge of it after the Han Dynasty. The Secret Pavilion later became another name for the Shangshu Office, which was the emperor's secretarial office during the Han and Wei dynasties.

Walking into the study's room, Huang Qifei was dazzled, and found for the first time that there were so many supplies in the study, and the ancients were too particular.

In modern times, everyone in the study room likes to be simple, that is, it looks concise, and it looks very comfortable if it can be omitted.

However, the ancient Chinese were simply harsh on the utensils of the study room to the point of madness.

"What are you looking for?" a clerk stepped forward to greet him.

Zhao Tianming said to him: "Don't greet us, let's take a look for a while, we haven't decided what to buy for the time being." ”

When you buy something, don't listen to their clerk's recommendation, nine out of ten are pits.

"Okay, then you pick slowly, greet me well, and I'll come over to serve you right away!" the young man laughed. The service attitude of this shop is not bad!

Zhao Tianming found that the treasures of the study here are not all antiques. Some are new, but they are all marked and when they will be produced.

Those new products are basically brand-name goods.

When it comes to brands, many people may think that foreigners came up first, and we in China are following the trend. In fact, in China, there was a brand in ancient times, and it was most easily reflected in the treasures of the study.

For example, the ink clay mentioned before, the best is the Babao ink clay produced in Zhangzhou, which is the famous brand of ink clay.

And pen, ink, paper, inkstone, even more so, lake pen, rice paper, Hui ink, Duan inkstone, etc., are all world-famous, sought after by literati and ink writers of all dynasties.

"This inkstone is beautiful, what do you think?" asked Huang Qifei, pointing to an inkstone next to him.

Zhao Tianming picked it up, and the ancient mirror came with the specific information of the inkstone, it was a dragon's tail inkstone, which was very beautifully carved, no wonder Huang Qifei liked it.

"This is the dragon tail inkstone, and it is also a famous inkstone. But the stone quality of this inkstone is not good enough, it is not delicate enough! Moreover, it is a new product. Zhao Tianming introduced.

The importance of inkstone is: fine and greasy, moist and pure, crystal smooth, texture and color, easy to ink but not absorbent. Some have milk, some have eyes, some have belts, and some have stars, and it is better to be produced in a place where there are mountains and rivers.

Zhao Tianming told him that the inkstone is still the best inkstone in our province.

"If you think the inkstone is good, let's find a good inkstone. Zhao Tianming said to him.

The world's three strange inkstones, all of which are produced by the end inkstones of Guangdong Province.

"Not necessarily, let's take a look!" Huang Qifei himself couldn't figure out what kind of scholar's treasures he wanted.

After looking at it for a while, he pointed to an object and asked, "What is this and how to use it?"

"It's an inkstone, and I'm rare to see it. An ancient Han scholar's utensils that store inkstone water for grinding ink. Zhao Tianming said.

It is said that the appearance of inkstones is related to the use of brush and ink and the rise of calligraphy and painting. At the latest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were various shapes of water bowls, people found in use, when pouring water into the inkstone with a water bowl, the water often flowed excessively, so there was a utensils that are convenient to control the amount of water, which is the inkstone drop.

The workmanship of inkstones is relatively exquisite, and most of the materials are ceramic materials except for metal, jade and agate. In terms of modeling design, it is also extremely ingenious, which is comparable to the art of purple clay pots that appeared in later generations. Most of them are quaint and colorful, exuding a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere.

After listening to the explanation, Huang Qifei sincerely sighed that the harshness of the ancients to the study utensils was really outrageous.

It is not difficult to imagine that in ancient times, reading was the most promising, and the study room was a place for reading, a very important private place. The utensils inside are naturally more attentive.

Zhao Tianming picked up the inkstone, and a message came to his mind, and he was stunned for a moment.
