Chapter 47 Chenghua Doucai
Qingtian stone is named after the production in Zhejiang * Tian County, is one of the four famous stones in our country, the main component of Qingtian stone is mainly pyrophyllaceous wax stone, it is rich in color, peculiar pattern, the texture is dense and meticulous, the hardness is pleasant, the knife is brittle, it has been favored by the literati since ancient times, it is the earliest stone species of Chinese seal carving stone, and it can be called the ancestor of the printing stone. Compared with bloodstone, the output of Qingtian stone is much larger, according to scientific statistics, Qingtian stone is divided into 10 categories of 108 species, although the overall output is large, but the output of Qingtian stone is very limited. These three green veins are extremely fine, and the output is less than that of bloodstone, so it is called the three best stones with Tianhuang and bloodstone. Among the three best stones, bloodstone and Tianhuang stone are known for their strong color, symbolizing wealth and nobility, while Sanqing is known for their freshness, symbolizing seclusion and indifference, and are known as the gentlemen in the stone.
Compared with bloodstone and Shoushan stone, the cultural flavor of Qingtian stone seems to be a little stronger, which may be because its stone is pure, warm, delicate, dignified and generous, and the reason why it is compatible with the Chinese nation's upright, pure, gentle, industrious, loyal, and implicit national character.
Qingtian County, which belongs to Lishui City in Zhejiang Province, is not too far from Lin'an, and Tang Feng and Chen Yan arrived a few hours later
The main production area of Qingtian stone, Yamaguchi Town, Qingtian County.
The ancients said that cheap gold is not as good as expensive stone, they think that the best stone is like jade, all are psychic things, so the stone nature can change human nature, whether the stone can change human nature is unknown, but the Qingtian stone, known as the gentleman in the stone, is much more formal than the bloodstone transaction. Zhejiang people really know how to do business, bloodstone is quaint, Qingtian stone is fashionable, Tang Feng, who was born in the mainland, it is hard to imagine that a town that is not the county seat will have such a magnificent building, which is located in the stone carving rough stone market in Shankou Town.
The number of varieties of Qingtian stone is unimaginable, in addition to the three greens, there are also golden yao, bamboo leaf green, golden jade jelly, white fruit Qingtian, cannon green, blue star, longan jelly, beauty red, red sandalwood, blue flower nails, sealing door three colors, algae flowers, simmering ice pattern, preserved egg jelly and so on. Walking into the stone carving rough stone market, it is these dazzling stones that come to your face, these Qingtian stone rough stones are placed on the shelves of one stall after another, and the price is clearly marked for you to check. The rough stone of Qingtian stone is often a combination of multiple varieties of natural accompaniment, it is easy to distinguish between the serious and the fake, except for a very few varieties such as the closed door blue monolith, other varieties do not exist gambling stone, so it is good, at least Tang Feng does not have to wade through mountains and rivers to the mine to find clues.
Each variety of Qingtian stone is unique and has a very high aesthetic value, at this time, the Tang style born by the peasants is not worth much use, the key depends on the inspiration of Chen Yan, the "artist".
The process was much faster than expected, and it didn't take long for Chen Yan to successfully purchase more than 20 Qingtian stones with good quality, texture, and artistry, and these stones cost them a total of 500,000 yuan. This is not to say that Qingtian stone is cheap, because the best products like Sanqing and Dragon Egg Stone are not something that can be bought in the short term, and besides, with their current capital, it is not suitable for in-depth investment.
The next day, the two went to Fuzhou antique market, one of the top ten antique markets in China, said that the antique market is a general reference, it is located in the north Guangminggang Road of Taijiang District, Fuzhou, with the Oriental Antique City and the Special Art City as the center, along the street are antique stores, on this street, the most conservative annual transaction volume is also above 100 million yuan.
I don't know for some reason, the trading of Shoushan stone was carried out in the early hours of the morning, so Tang Feng and the others decided to search for antiques here. Perhaps because the antique trade in Fuzhou has just taken shape, this antique street looks a bit chaotic, with shops, pavings and stalls in one.
The two went around, and Chen Yan pointed to a porcelain shop next to him and whispered to Tang Feng: "That colored porcelain bowl over there is very beautiful, isn't it true?"
"That's not a porcelain bowl, that's a porcelain teacup, wait......" Tang Feng gasped and said in disbelief: "That's a chicken cup?"
Chen Yanshun looked at it, the pattern on this porcelain teacup was very simple, two groups of chickens, three groups of flowers and plants, and four grasshoppers, he opened his mouth wide and said, "No, Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup." ”
It's not that these two people are making a fuss, don't look at this inconspicuous little teacup, in 1999, such an ordinary cup was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong auction for a sky-high price of 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars. When Tang Feng looked at this cup, he had lost interest in his heart, rare things are expensive, and things of the same era and the same quality are more valuable the less they exist in the world. This kind of Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup is currently only four and a half in the world, and even that half has been collected. Of course, there are more people who insist that there is a fifth or sixth person in their family, and this is all a game of collecting.
Maybe Chen Yan belongs to this person, he also thinks that he has seen the fifth, and he said to Tang Feng: "It's rare that there is no woman around you, let's take a look." ”
Chen Yan said so, and if Tang Feng was not going to be detained as a heavy color and light friend, he had to nod and say, "Okay." ”
As soon as the two of them approached the paving, there was the sound of a car horn behind them, Tang Feng thought that he was blocking someone's way, so he hurriedly turned around, and it turned out that he was parking. This is a black car Mercedes-Benz sports car, the car parking door opens, a middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly got out of the car and bypassed the body to open the door on the other side, a small hand was weak and weak to poke out of the door, and the middle-aged man held hands and brought out a girl less than twenty years old. It's a girl, it seems a little inaccurate, she is dressed very maturely, and her smoky makeup looks like a panda.
The two walked to Tang Feng's side together, and the girl asked the middle-aged man, "Third brother, do you also play collecting?"
"Brother is not a collection, but culture. The third brother Tian said shamelessly.
If you want to kill someone, it is estimated that this third brother has already been dismantled, the "third uncle" who is dozens of years old, what Internet buzzwords to learn, his daughter's non-mainstream play is outdated, how embarrassed is he.
Tang Feng didn't bother to pay attention to the third-brother, he pointed to the chicken bowl cup and asked the stall owner: "Boss, can you get started with this thing?"
Although the boss's eyes were aimed at the third brother as RMB, he still didn't forget to greet Tang Feng, he said: "No problem, just pay attention." ”
Tang Feng picked up the chicken bowl cup with both hands and began to observe, the color on the teacup was very monotonous, the edge of the blue blue and white hook, and the color filled in with red, green, yellow and purple. However, as time passed, the playful expression on Tang Feng's face gradually disappeared, and he pressed the cup with his thumb and pushed it forward, the fetal quality was white and delicate, the enamel was fat, and the color was in place, but it didn't look like a fake.
