Chapter 126: Bronze Bodhisattva

Zhuang Rui's words made Qian Yaosi and the ancient two look at each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, although it is said that the antique industry is also led by the master to enter the door, and the practice is in the individual, but the master who leads in the door is extremely important.

Because these old objects are inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years, condensed by the painstaking essence of the predecessors to create, the same, want to identify the authenticity of these antiques, but also need a wealth of theoretical knowledge and long-term hands-on experience accumulated in the hands-on play, theoretical knowledge can be learned in books, but for the experience of physical hands-on, it is not to read a few books can be understood, which requires a famous teacher to guide, but also to make it less detours.

Of course, there are no masters who are self-taught, like Uncle De of Zhonghai, he has been running errands in Zhonghai's pawnshop since he was a child, although no one taught him, but Uncle De is alert, smart and studious, usually pays attention to the words and deeds of those shopkeepers, and when they appreciate objects, they are thinking of ways to come forward, so that they go back and forth, in the case of a large number of physical contacts, gradually from the small guy to the second shopkeeper, and then from the second shopkeeper to the big shopkeeper, if it were not for the cancellation of the pawnshop after the liberation, I am afraid that Uncle De would have opened his own shop。

But like Zhuang Rui's case, Qian Yaosi and the old man have played antiques all his life, and he really hasn't encountered it, first, Zhuang Rui is too young, at his age, if he is not born in some collector families or wealthy families, it is difficult to get in touch with a large number of genuine antiques, and secondly, he just learned the knowledge from books, and he can actually distinguish the authenticity of those high imitation porcelain, these two points are enough to surprise the two old guys.

"Brother Gu, we have lived this life, if we compare with Brother Zhuang, this age is really alive to a dog, by the way, Brother Zhuang, do you have any intention of selling the dzis? Old man, I really want to buy it, it doesn't matter how high the price is, as long as you are willing to sell ......"

Qian Yaosi still remembered Zhuang Rui's string of dzi, and after quietly praising Zhuang Rui with self-deprecation, he proposed to buy dzi.

"Old man Qian, it's not that you bid low, it's just that this string of dzi bracelets was given to me by the living Buddha of Jokhang Temple himself, which is of great significance, without the consent of the living Buddha and his old man, I don't dare to give it to others, and it is not very appropriate to measure this dzi with money, you can also understand the troubles of the kid." ”

Zhuang Rui shook his head with a smile, stood up, looked around, and asked the guy in the store to take out a piece of silk where the jade jewelry was placed on the counter and spread it on the table, and then took off the dzi bracelet on his wrist and put it on the silk cloth for the two to see.

As mentioned earlier, Dzi is a gemstone with strong magnetism, and the magnetic field in the Dzi is generally three times higher than that of the crystal, like Zhuang Rui's old Dzi, the strength of its magnetic field is probably at least five times that of the crystal, and after the Dzi and the human body are in contact, it will automatically adjust and release the magnetism according to the strength of the magnetic field in the human body, which is also the principle that the Dzi is beneficial to the body.

The magnetic field in everyone's body is different, so the dzi ornaments are generally not accessible to people other than the owner, because in that way, it is easy to make the dzi magnetic field disordered.

Qian Yaosi and Old Man Gu naturally understood this truth, holding a magnifying glass in their hands, almost the whole face was up, but they did not let the skin touch the dzi, and after five or six minutes, the two sat back.

"Brother Zhuang, take this dzi back, we can see the accessories blessed by the living Buddha, and we can be regarded as eye-opening, but in the future, if Brother Zhuang can still meet this old dzi, he will sell it to my former old man." ”

Finally pulled his eyes out of the dzi, Qian Yaosi said the above words to Zhuang Rui very solemnly, wearing the dzi can make people prosperous and prosperous, Zhuang Rui is young, maybe when he can meet this good thing, now take precautions to say this paragraph, may bring himself a surprise in the future.

"You play antiques, what do you want Dzi for, my old man needs it, but Brother Zhuang, if you get this dzi at tomorrow's jade fair, you must be able to shine, how about it, do you want to think about it, old man, I can help you arrange a special booth." ”

The old man didn't want to take this dzi into his pocket, but he suggested that Zhuang Rui take this dzi to the exhibition, Zhuang Rui thought about it for a while, but still shook his head and refused, his own belongings, and he didn't plan to sell them, so there was no need to spread the word.

A few people talked about this, and the guys in the store had already cleaned and wiped the set of Zhu Kexin's cloud dragon pot under the instruction of Qian Yaosi, and found a delicate box with sea cushions inside, and packed it up, Zhuang Rui looked at the time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, so he stood up and said: "The two old men, the boys will have something to do, so I will leave first, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely ask the two seniors for advice." ”

Although Qian Yaosi is stealing chickens and rice today, the words he says are like water spilled out, and the matter has come to this point, Qian Yaosi is also very atmospheric, took out a business card and handed it to Zhuang Rui, so that if he encounters any good things in the future, he must think about himself first.

"Brother Zhuang, if you are not in a hurry, you should wait and then leave, the old man brought a bronze today, and gave it to Brother Qian to palm his eyes, if you are interested, you can also take a look." ”

The old man unexpectedly opened his mouth to retain Zhuang Rui, because the old man asked himself, although he also had some research on ceramic antiques, but let him be like Zhuang Rui in such a short period of time, he could distinguish the authenticity of many high-imitation ceramics in this store, he would never be able to do it.

Jade and antiques are inherently connected, in antiques, ancient jade has always occupied a very important position, such as the jade seal used by the emperors of the past dynasties, etc., which are valuable antiques to this day, but people's energy is limited after all, ancient in the identification of jade, is the absolute authority, but when it comes to appreciating antiques, he is much inferior to Qian Yaosi, is to come to Nanjing this time, and also take an object that he recently received to Qian Yaosi to palm.

Zhuang Rui looked at Liu Chuan and the others with some embarrassment when he heard this, Liu Chuan was holding the box containing Zhu Kexin's purple sand tea set at this time, as the saying goes, people are short, and he didn't shout to leave, as for Qin Xuanbing and Lei Lei, tonight is an eye-opener, Zhuang Rui's process of turning the peak circuit into a big reversal made the second daughter look dumbfounded, and there is still a good show to watch now, so she is naturally reluctant to go.

Seeing that a few people did not object, Zhuang Rui also sat back, he read the appreciation books during this time, calligraphy and painting and ceramics are the majority, basically have not seen bronze related books, now there is this opportunity, Zhuang Rui also wants to learn, he read the knowledge learned from the dead book, and listen to the real explanation, the difference is big.

Gu waved his hand, and the person who had been standing behind him put the box in his hand flat on the table that had been wiped clean, and after opening it, a bronze statue of Bodhisattva appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This is a sitting bronze Buddha statue, the volume is not large, only about thirty centimeters, Qian Yaosi put on a pair of gloves, took out this bronze Bodhisattva, looked at the light, after more than ten minutes, only put this bronze back, with an unknown expression on his face, said to Zhuang Rui: "Brother Zhuang, you also take a look." ”

Zhuang Rui has only seen a bronze object, that is, the bronze tree auctioned on the grassland black market, he doesn't know much about bronzes, and he can't say anything, because when Qian Yaosi identified it just now, he had already tested this object with aura, and it was undoubtedly genuine, because Zhuang Rui had clearly seen that in this Buddha statue, there was an extremely rich purple aura.

After hearing Qian Yaosi's words, Zhuang Rui took the gloves handed by Qian Yaosi, held the bronze Bodhisattva statue in the box in front of his eyes, and observed it carefully.

Although Zhuang Rui does not know about the bronze, but can also see that this is a bronze statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the whole body is covered with the unique green of bronze, the production is very exquisite, the bronze statue of Guanyin one hand on the knee, one hand raised, in the shape of an orchid finger, the whole bronze statue on the folds of clothes, Yingluo, the flower ornament on the head, the high lotus seat, the breast and thin waist and buttocks, are all made lifelike, especially the appearance of Guanyin, dignified and generous, like a real person.

"Old man Gu, this bronze statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva should be an object with a wide open door, it seems that you can see it yourself. Zhuang Rui put the bronze statue back in the box, looked at the old man and said.

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Gu replied: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhuang, this object is in too good condition, I'm afraid it's something that has taken a bath, so I let Brother Qian give it a palm, the old man is so old, if he wrestles again, it will make people laugh." ”

"This old man, it's not good to talk well, you have to talk about these jargons. ”

Zhuang Rui complained a little in his heart, he didn't know much about the bronze guild, so he could only roughly guess the meaning of the ancient words, and Liu Chuan and the others were even more inexplicable.

"Hehe, I forgot, these children are not people in the industry, let me explain it to you. ”

Gu Gu saw the expressions of Liu Chuan and the others, and explained the jargon in the words just now.

The words "bathed" and "wrestled" are the jargon in the appreciation of bronzes, some heirloom bronzes, the surface is invaded by oil too much, some craftsmen wash with acetic acid and other liquids, the oil is cleaned, in this way, the surface of the utensils is bright and colorful, although beautiful but lost the original natural style, its value will be greatly reduced.

Wrestling refers to the fact that when the antique dealer appraisals identify the bronze objects, they either misjudge the age of the artifacts, or they cannot distinguish the real from the fake, and they pay tuition fees by picking up the omissions.
