Chapter 304: Wearing Small Shoes

Sun Zhongyuan didn't answer, but looked down at the white porcelain figurines again.

"It's not expensive!" said the stall owner.

"How's it going?" Sun Zhongyuan began.

"No, no, you don't know what I'm doing business, this is really the lowest price, I said I won't talk to you. ”

Sun Zhongyuan added one mouthful, and he shook his head again and again. In the end, it was bought for 3,000.

After leaving, Chen Danyang looked depressed, "Are you okay?

"How much time can you waste? Just a few minutes. Sun Zhongyuan asked rhetorically, "You say, do antiques have actual value in the hands of ordinary people?"

"No, it's mostly cultural values and appreciation values. ”

"Yes, it has no practical value, but it is expensive, this is a psychological need. Sun Zhongyuan said, "The same is true of the antique business. Although I already feel that this price has been missed, but for me, it can prevent him from turning back, and for him, in the end, it can make him feel that he is not at a loss. It's only a few minutes, but it's psychologically comfortable for both parties, and that's what an antique business should look like!"

"In my opinion, you are pretending!" Chen Danyang smiled, "This is the difference between our science students and your liberal arts students." Cloud and mountain fog cover, self-enjoyment, I don't need it. ”

"Hahahaha!" Sun Zhongyuan laughed, "Then do you need me to tell you what age this white porcelain figurine is?"

"Well, I really need it. ”

"This is a white porcelain figurine of the Sui Dynasty, which is very rare, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Of course, because it's rare, the stall owner doesn't know it. Although there are few leaks, they are not none, and the key is to find the leaks-"

"Eyes!"

"No, luck!" Sun Zhongyuan said, "Of course, eyesight is very important, but for picking up leaks, luck is really the first thing." ”

"Okay, I'll see if you're lucky enough to find the tomb of King Tsing Yi this time!" Chen Danyang turned to say, "The antiques of the Sui Dynasty are rarely heard of, let alone porcelain. “”

"Well, the time is relatively short, but fortunately, it is quite different from the things of the Tang Dynasty, unlike the things of the Qin Dynasty, and some things from the Western Han Dynasty later, which are not easy to distinguish. ”

There will always be some similarities in history, such as the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. These two dynasties were both unification after a long period of war, and their survival was very short, and the successive dynasties were also very powerful.

Therefore, there are always people who like to say in a row, Qin and Han, Sui and Tang.

The antiques of the Qin Dynasty and the antiques of the Western Han Dynasty have many similarities. For example, jade, even from the late Warring States period before the Qin Dynasty to the early Western Han Dynasty, has similar characteristics, so it is called Zhan Han jade.

However, the antiques of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty have relatively obvious style differences.

The white porcelain of the Sui Dynasty occupies a very important position in the history of Chinese ceramics, which is generally unknown to people who do not play porcelain. Before the Sui Dynasty, celadon reigned, and from the Sui Dynasty, mature white porcelain appeared, and it continued.

The importance of mature white porcelain lies in the fact that it is a basis for the development of colored porcelain, whether it is blue and white in the underglaze color, red in the glaze, or the bucket color in the glaze color, five colors, etc., their base is white.

In fact, the key to the difference between white porcelain and celadon technology lies in the iron content of tire and glaze raw materials, and the low iron content of white porcelain. But to complete this breakthrough, it took hundreds of years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty.

The two continued to stroll, and in a stall where small items were mainly placed, Chen Danyang found a jade shoe made of green and white jade.

Chen Danyang thought it was interesting, picked it up and looked at it.

This jade shoe is very small, that is, four centimeters long and more than a centimeter wide, and the toe is embossed with animal face decorations.

"What is this for?" Chen Danyang asked Sun Zhongyuan instead. The stall owner was an old man in his sixties, and he was a little stunned, and said that this young man didn't ask me, and the key was not to ask the most important thing, such as material, vintage, value, and what to do when he came up.

Such small jade shoes, newborn babies can't wear them, and they are too small, of course they are accessories!

"This one is usually hung around the waist. Sun Zhongyuan said.

This is what Chen Danyang asked, of course he could think of accessories, but the question was, "Hang a small shoe on your body?

"There is a difference between ancient culture and modern culture. First of all, as long as the jade things are more valuable, the meaning is very beautiful. This wears jade shoes, which means warding off evil spirits! Wearing small shoes does not extend to the jade. Sun Zhongyuan explained.

In fact, the allusion to wearing small shoes existed in the Song Dynasty, but it is about the embroidered shoes worn by women. It was deliberately made small that the embroidered shoes worn when she got married and couldn't be worn, so that the woman couldn't go out and get on the sedan chair, probably this is the story.

"What age is this?" This time, Chen Danyang didn't ask Sun Zhongyuan, he already understood a lot of rules, but asked the stall owner.

The stall owner smiled, "I won't give you any more shoes, who let you come with an expert? ”

Chen Danyang looked at Sun Zhongyuan again, and Sun Zhongyuan asked him, "Do you want to do it?"

"Hmm. Chen Danyang nodded, "Didn't you say that I would ward off evil spirits?

Sun Zhongyuan picked up the jade shoes and looked at them carefully, "This is the late Qing Dynasty, but it is green and white jade, the largest amount, boss, how much is the minimum?"

In the category of jade, as long as you look at it, because the material is also more valuable, the price is relatively public.

Of course, on the stall, such a small jade piece, when it comes to bargaining, is lower than the actual price.

The stall owner quoted a price of 5,000, which is basically the line price. Of course, Sun Zhongyuan had to bargain.

However, before bargaining, Sun Zhongyuan handed the stall owner a cigarette, "Boss, is there another one?"

When Chen Danyang heard it, well, this jade shoe is the same as the real shoe, in pairs! Not to mention, if it is a pair, hanging on the waist, and jingling when walking, it really has a bit of a meaning to ward off evil spirits.

"Young man, you're a connoisseur. Don't worry, I don't play with one fish and eat two, just one when I collect it. The stall owner said.

"If there is one missing, is there still a way to ward off evil spirits?" asked Chen Danyang.

In fact, there are also one jade shoe accessories to hang one, and there are also two to hang them, but Chen Danyang asked very well, and it was just used to negotiate the price.

In the end, they won two thousand eight. This is not a leak, it can only be said that I made a little money by buying. No way, jade from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China is usually very open.

The stall owner also found a delicate lanyard to help Chen Danyang wear it, and "wear small shoes" and hang it directly on his waist.

Leaving the stall, Sun Zhongyuan said, "People like you, do you still believe this? ”

"This is very important, before you go, ask for psychological comfort. Chen Danyang smacked his mouth and lowered his voice, "If there is really a royal tomb, this is not ordinary." ”
