Connoisseurs look at the doorway, Taobao should be early, to talk about the morning market of Beijing cultural market, Panjiayuan thrift market is brightly lit at four or five o'clock on weekends, flashlights and white light are intertwined, and buyers come here to practice their eyesight, bargaining and practicing their mouths, which has become a scene in Beijing.

Panjiayuan "ghost market" has a long history, in the past, Beijing's ghost market was also called the night market, also known as Xiao City. In the past, the night market refers to the beginning of the second half of the night, limited to the dawn, and the stalls are closed at dawn.

It is said that from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, it is very famous in Beijing, such as the "Dongxiao City" outside the Chongwen Gate, the "Night Market" outside the Xuanwu Gate and the "Xiao Market" outside the Desheng Gate.

According to historical records, the "ghost market" in the Song Dynasty has been popular, and the "ghost market" in old Beijing can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, the decline of the country's fortunes led to the decline of many dignitaries and dignitaries, so some people took out the antiques at home and sold them.

For these former royal relatives, street selling is definitely a good thing, so they can only choose to trade with lanterns at three or four o'clock in the morning.

Back then, the "ghost market" often sold some items that were usually inconvenient to say and from unknown sources, but no matter what the situation was, most genuine treasures could only be sold at a low price, so there was a saying that "ghost markets often produce good goods".

Panjiayuan is well-known at home and abroad, and its "ghost market" is very legendary. In September, the morning light is slightly dewed, the wood of the Tang Dynasty, the blue and white porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the wood carvings of the Republic of China, the old things before the liberation, as well as amber from Russia, the Buddha statues of India, the colorful stones of Canada, etc., are bathed in the hazy morning light and bloom with the brilliance of the years.

Panjiayuan is already full of people, and stall owners with accents from all over the world have begun to start a new hustle in front of the shops and stalls. Those who came to shop for goods at four o'clock in the morning in Panjiayuan are not connoisseurs but also people who have been collecting for many years.

For the merchants, they came early to occupy the stalls, and at about 4 or 5 o'clock, the stalls were basically occupied, and the aisles were already crowded.

People who really understand "Panjiayuan" rarely come here to hang out in broad daylight, because the real good things are all "showing their faces" in the early hours of the morning when the market opens. This is the origin of the so-called "connoisseurs watch the doorway, Taobao should be early".

This Bu Luotong and Sheng Qiwu arrived at the gate of Panjiayuan before half past four, they were just curious and wanted to come and have a long experience.

The legendary ghost market is not selling, this is the rule set by the older generation of the ghost market, because the ghost market is a night activity, midnight, yin and yang alternate, a hundred ghosts travel at night, people are afraid that the shouting sound will disturb the ghosts and gods of the Quartet, scare away the gods of wealth.

Therefore, in the "ghost market" of Panjiayuan, no one can hear the sound of selling in a frustrated manner, and so far, no one dares to break the rules left by this ancestor.

Not only that, but if you want to buy something in the ghost market, you must also use "jargon", and the buyer and seller bargain secretly with both hands, lest their peers know the price code and take the opportunity to disrupt the business.

The jargon of the ghost market is "what, press, search, shame, crooked, material, pretty, stupid, foot, spoon", and these 10 characters are used to represent one to ten.

This kind of bizarre legend also made Luo Tong more curious about the ghost market, and looked forward to visiting Panjiayuan at night and going to the ghost market to find out.

As soon as I walked into Panjiayuan, I saw a crowd of people walking in shadows, and under the dim lights and cold weather, it looked even more ethereal and ghostly.

Under a huge shed, I saw that all the sellers were lined up with furoshi, leaving only a narrow aisle waiting for customers to come to the door.

Hurriedly walked down, sure enough, I didn't hear the loud shouting, there was no loud noise, there were a lot of vendors selling all kinds of wooden skewers and Bodhi seeds, and there were people gathered in front of these stalls, some of them were also flashlights, and there were also a few vendors with porcelain bottles and porcelain bowls in front of them.

Luo Tong and the others walked around the stalls, but they still didn't see the legendary buyers and sellers bargaining, but they saw an uncle using a flashlight and a calculator to bargain with the antique vendors.

Luo Tong didn't hear how much the vendor offered, but he saw the uncle press 8000 on the calculator, and the vendor looked at it and shone a flashlight on the coin that the uncle was looking at and said, "Look at it, if you weigh this weight again, the goods will have to be this number." ”

After saying that, he pressed a few numbers on the calculator, and the uncle was happy after reading his price, and pressed 15,000 on the calculator again, and said, "I'll give you some more, and you can sell me this pair too." ”

With that, he pointed to another pair of porcelain. The vendor looked at the price, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, and said, "Let's just open it, we really can't make money like you." ”

So the uncle took out a pile of red "Grandpa Mao" and handed it to the vendor, cleared the money and goods, and took it away. Sheng Qiwu also saw this scene, he said: "The old man should have taken a fancy to them, but first pick the most expensive one, kill the price low, and then buy the cheap pair together." ”

It can be seen that the knowledge of this bargaining is quite deep. In other words, Luo Tong, she really can't bargain, only the life of being slaughtered.

Sheng Qiwu reads a lot of ancient books on weekdays, so he went directly to those stalls that sold ancient books. Luo Tong doesn't care, she is purely here to gain knowledge, naturally she will go wherever Sheng Qiwu goes.

Soon, the two stopped in front of a used book stall. There are a lot of books on this bookstall, but they are neatly placed and the books are cleaned up, which makes people feel good when they look at it.

The stall owner is an old man in his sixties, and he looks very tough. Luo Tong saw him as if he saw Zhao Lao, and he felt that he was a very knowledgeable person.

Luo Tong saw that some stall owners put plastic bags on old books in order to protect them from dust and even labels, briefly indicating the edition and commentary, etc., which made people feel good at a glance.

But there are no price tags on this used book stall, so I think this is a book in my heart, and I have studied these.

Luo Tong took a cursory look, and the four famous works were impressively listed, and the rest such as the Book of Poetry, the Analects, the University, and the Mean were all there. Sheng Qiwu squatted down in front of the stall, and his eyes were attracted by a set of Siku books on the stall.

Luo Tong has no interest in these ancient books, she just likes to read books on plants and animals. But this old man's books here are all such tomes, and Luo Tong feels dizzy when he reads them. It's not that she doesn't respect Chinese studies, it's that she really doesn't have that appreciative cell.

Therefore, seeing that Sheng Qiwu saw it with relish, there was a small stall selling handicrafts opposite, Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu said goodbye, and went to Taobao opposite.
