Guanyin's full title is "Great Compassion and Great Compassion to Save Suffering and Relief Guanyin Bodhisattva", which is a figure in Buddhism, and Buddhism is a religion from ancient India that was introduced to China during the Han and Han dynasties. Before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Guanyin was all male, and after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Guanyin appeared as a woman. In the Tang Dynasty, the image and costume of Guanyin were basically stereotyped, and they were all women's appearance. Therefore, it is impossible to appear in the two Jin Dynasty periods with a female appearance of Guanyin. Therefore, the heir of the Wei family engraved on the base of this Guanyin statue must not be Ruan from the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, but another person with the same character, and he is also from Kaifeng.

Taking advantage of Yang Yaokui and Jiang Yuan talking over there, Tang Feng said to Chen Yan with a smile: "This is the star effect, there is a certain celebrity in a certain place, and it is normal for people in later generations to use the same words as this celebrity." ”

Chen Yan pondered for a long time to figure it out, and he asked strangely: "Of course, the more ancient the antique, the more valuable it is, so Jiang Yuan will not be fooled again." ”

"You'd be wrong. Tang Feng said: "You can't compare the natural environment of modern China with ancient times, the tooth horn carvings unearthed in China are basically before the Tang Dynasty, and there are very few after the Tang Dynasty." This is the reason for the change of the natural environment, the ivory horn carving has been in the Neolithic Age, when the Central Plains rhinoceros and elephants ran all over the ground, and basically could not be seen in the Tang Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties relied on "imports", and in modern times it is even priceless, and even carrying ivory rhino horn ornaments is illegal.

Or the old saying, things are rare and expensive, after the Tang Dynasty, the tooth horn carving is scarce, so the value is higher, at present, the highest value of such handicrafts are in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tang Feng said: "The only pity is that this ivory carving Guanyin is a civilian product, and if it is an official product or a royal product, it will be worth a lot of money." ”

China's most famous ivory ware is also among the 64 national treasures banned from leaving the country, which is the ivory cup unearthed from the tomb of the woman in Yinxu in Anyang, which is precious because of its historical significance.

As Tang Feng spoke, his eyes caught a tooth-yellow wat board, which was a ritual vessel held in the hands of ancient officials when they faced the monarch, one end wide and the other narrow in an arc. Tang Feng took the wat board in his hand and looked at it, this is an ivory wat board, there are even natural cracks on it, this crack is similar to the opening piece of Ge kiln porcelain, it seems to be cracked, but it is very smooth to the touch, and the jargon calls this characteristic of ivory "laugh." ”

He asked Yang Yaokui, who was watching things with Jiang Yuan, "Brother Yang, is this thing intentionally shot?"

Yang Yaokui looked at the wat board, laughed, and said, "Although this thing is ivory, it also belongs to the category of eye-piercing. ”

Jiang Yuan asked: "Is it ivory and still eye-catching?" You must know that in ancient China, only officials above the fifth rank were qualified to hold ivory wat boards, which was very valuable. "Those below the fifth grade can only take bamboo wat boards.

Yang Yaokui said: "I know all this, but this is also engraved with six small characters in italics of Daoguang Sanqing of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Tang Feng understood the reason why Yang Yaokui said that the Qing Dynasty officials did not use wat boards in the previous dynasty. As long as you see a person wearing a zombie robe (Qing Dynasty official uniform) on TV holding a wat board to the court, it is all the director's nonsense.

After Yang Yaokui said the process of striking his eyes, he waved his hand and said: "The past is unbearable, if there are no six words, I will put it in the glass cabinet." ”

Tang Feng knew that there was a way to do this, and he said: "No matter how bad it is, this is also ivory, why don't you give it to me?" The ivory wat board is not made of whole ivory, and it is a plain work without carving, and the market price is not high, and the value is about 7,000 yuan.

"This thing isn't worth a few dollars, I didn't want to sell it, but you're Jiang Yuan's friend, it's 10,000 yuan. "Yang Yaokui's price is a bit high, but his words are really not deceiving, although the passing year is not conducive to encountering a bear market, but the deflated football is always bigger than table tennis, and he does not wait for this 10,000 yuan.

"Well, it's 10,000. Tang Feng nodded, took out a stack of unsealed renminbi from the bag he carried with him and handed it to Yang Yaokui.

After that, although Tang Feng and Jiang Yuan both took a fancy to some things in Yang Yaokui's collection, the price he offered before was too "real", and neither of them asked the price. Jiang Yuan thinks that the price is too high and has no commercial value, while Tang Feng thinks that there is no leakage to pick up.

Soon, the three of them said goodbye to Yang Yaokui and left the Yang family's villa together.

Tang Feng is obviously not as good as Chen Yan, Chen Yan told Jiang Yuan about Tang Feng's judgment just now on the road, Jiang Yuan said to Tang Feng while driving: "Brother Tang, I really admire you, if you don't say it, I really didn't see it, so I was bent on praying to God and worshiping Buddha." ”

Tang Feng said: "Brother Jiang is polite. "This Guanyin Jiangyuan can earn at least 500,000 yuan, this is the benefit of more money, playing five yuan mahjong and one dollar mahjong are definitely two concepts. Tang Feng is most afraid of this kind of high-level leakage now, because he has no money to buy it, and encountering this kind of good thing is like a gold brick suddenly falling from the sky, and he will smash his head impartially, and the person will be stunned, and the gold brick will be picked up.

Tang Feng returned to Lin Muyu's residence, Lin Muyu pulled him again, and asked him to talk about what he encountered today, Tang Feng handed her the ivory wat board after telling her, Lin Muyu looked at it again and again, and said: "Even if it is a big official's wat board, it is only a few thousand yuan, of course it makes sense for you to spend 10,000 yuan to buy it, isn't it?"

"Mu Yu, you are so smart. Tang Feng said: "This thing has a lot of origins. ”

Lin Muyu asked: "There is a lot of origin, can you give an intuitive concept?"

Tang Feng said: "It's hard to say this, because his commemorative significance is greater than the actual significance, it is definitely not possible to take it out and sell it like this, this thing must be auctioned, and the reserve price should not be a big problem of opening fifty or sixty thousand, if you happen to be able to meet two or three people who are interested in this thing, then his value is relatively high." ”

The key lies in the six words "Daoguang Sanqing of the Great Qing Dynasty". The officials of the Qing Dynasty did not use the wat board, but there was a group of people who wanted to use it, which was the troupe, and they needed the wat board as props. Of course, ordinary troupes don't use ivory wat boards, only the big names of the troupe will use them. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there happened to be a troupe called "Sanqing", and this troupe produced a very famous big name.

"Big names don't need to take a real wat board to act, it's so expensive. Lin Muyu said.

Tang Feng said: "Of course, these big names won't waste their money to buy an ivory wat board, aren't there some stunned people who love to hold horns in ancient times? Just like the modern star chasers, these are all bought by them and given to the big names." ”

Lin Muyu looked at Tang Feng and asked, "Then who is this big name?"
