Sun Zhongyuan stepped forward quickly to see that what Xu Beiwu was holding in his hand was a jade jue with yellowing in white.

This jade is carved with a pictographic dragon pattern in bas-relief, and the jade is warm and transparent, but there are a lot of dirt, but it is still difficult to hide its brilliance.

The stall owner is a young man with a melon seed face and a small mouth, but he looks a little like a big girl. He saw that Sun Zhongyuan also came up, but he didn't know that they were together, and said to Xu Beiwu and Kuang Xiyin with a smile, "Two of you, this piece is Hanyu! The price I just said is not expensive." ”

Jade Jue is a common jade in the Warring and Han dynasties, and the basic style of this thing is that the jade ring is missing a mouth.

It's a strange shape, and the Han Dynasty jade is a common accessory, but this mouth doesn't seem to have much effect. Later, according to a large number of archaeological discoveries, the jade jue in the pre-Qin tombs mostly appeared on both sides of the skull of the corpse, and it was relatively small, so experts deduced that the original form of the original jade jue should be earrings!

Of course, the role of jade pieces was constantly changing, and by the Han Dynasty, it became an accessory. It's like the original jade cicada, which was put in the mouth, and later became an accessory, which hung on the neck, meaning a blockbuster, hanging on the waist, meaning that the waist is wrapped around (cicada) Wanguan.

At the same time, Yu Jue has not only become an accessory, but also has some token functions. For example, if a minister is assigned to the border gate, if the emperor gives you a piece of jade, it means "decision", and you don't want to come back. If you are given a jade ring and the ring is returned, it means that if you behave well, you can still come back.

Because of the Hongmen Banquet, the popularity of Yu Jue is still relatively high.

At that time, Fan Zeng wanted Xiang Yu to solve Liu Bang on the spot at the Hongmen banquet, "Fan Zeng counted Xiang Wang, and cited the jade Jue he admired to show the three." It means that Xiang Yu made up his mind, and as a result, "King Xiang should not be silent." ”

If Liu Bang had really been killed at that time, the trend of history would have changed. Historical development is inevitable and accidental, and the Hongmen Banquet is an accidental event.

Sun Zhongyuan stared at this jade jue for a while, and then he knew why Xu Beiwu and Kuang Xiyin had been watching for so long.

This piece of jade, from the process to the jade quality, from the pulp to the luster, how to look like a piece of Han jade. However, I vaguely felt that something was missing.

Hanyu is a very typical and special category in jade collections, and many people specialize in collecting Hanyu.

In the history of jade development in China, the jade of the Warring Han Dynasty is of course an insurmountable peak. And Hanyu, because of the opening of the Western Regions channel, solved the problem of the source of Hetian jade, coupled with the national unification, skilled craftsmen can better communicate, learn from each other's strengths, jade quality and level, is higher than the Warring States and Qin Dynasty jade.

If it is really a piece of Han jade, it can be regarded as good luck to be able to encounter it at the stall in Chang'an.

However, although Xu Beiwu and Kuang Xiyin's eyesight is old, they are not as good as Sun Zhongyuan's treasure. Sun Zhongyuan found that this jade piece was about the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!

The antique of the Qianlong Dynasty is very famous, but the imitation of Hanyu can be imitated to this point, and it can be regarded as a top master in the Qianlong Dynasty.

The stall owner obviously sold it as Hanyu, and he didn't take it out at first, just because Kuang Xiyin glanced at a high-quality imitation of the Warring States period on the stall a few times, so he shook his head again and again, and felt that Xu Beiwu and Kuang Xiyin were not like ordinary people, so he took it out.

"What do you think?" Kuang Xiyin looked at Sun Zhongyuan.

Only then did the stall owner understand that the young man who came together and the two old men were together, and now it became "three to one". But he was also a little strange, these two older people, after watching for a long time, went to ask this younger one.

"I can't get to Han. Sun Zhongyuan said, "The ancient rhyme is not enough. ”

"Qing Fang?" Xu Beiwu frowned. He didn't say too specifically, if he wanted to directly say that Qianlong Gong was antique, it was not cheap and not conducive to bargaining.

Sun Zhongyuan understood and nodded.

"Three, I think you should give it to me, and don't play any questions and answers. My piece is a real piece of Hanyu, and the price is the price just now, and it can't be dropped!

Xu Beiwu didn't move with the jade, Sun Zhongyuan looked at Xu Beiwu, "How much does he want?"

"Thirty pieces. Xu Beiwu smiled.

Thirty yuan here means 300,000.

If it is really Hanyu, 300,000 is indeed not high, this jade and that piece are almost the same grade. The asking price on the stall, that's sometimes the case. Of course, this stall owner may have known that it was not Hanyu and would sell it as Hanyu.

"I'll take another look. "Sun Zhongyuan got Yu Jue from Xu Beiwu's hands.

He looked at it a few times, and during this time, he also glanced at the sun, and finally Sun Zhongyuan pointed to the inner circle of Yujue and looked at Xu Beiwu.

"I saw it. "Xu Beiwudao," the stall owner also knew. ”

In the inner circle of Yujue, there is a place engraved with the word "benevolence" in Lishu.

"I'll just say it's a piece of Hanyu, the three of you don't believe it after studying for a long time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools, respected Confucianism alone, benevolence is the core idea of Confucianism, and carving a word of benevolence illustrates this point. The stall owner said immediately.

Sun Zhongyuan shook his head lightly, this treasure light will not go wrong, it is true that it was during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. As for why the word "benevolence" is engraved, it is possible that as the stall owner said, this jade jue has an imitation prototype, and the prototype is engraved with words. It is also possible that there are other reasons for the imitation.

Suddenly, Sun Zhongyuan remembered someone.

Yao Zongren!

Yao Zongren was a jade worker during the Qianlong period, who governed jade for generations and had extraordinary skills. He himself is also very good at antique jade.

Emperor Qianlong was very keen on ancient jade, and also made a large number of antique jade, however, the antique jade he ordered to be made would generally be written "Qianlong antique in the Qing Dynasty", which is to pursue an interest, not to fake.

Emperor Qianlong liked ancient jade and had a rich collection, but he couldn't identify some ancient jade. Once, he took a jade cup, looked at it repeatedly, and felt that it looked like Hanyu, but he couldn't make a final conclusion, so he found Yao Zongren.

Yao Zongren only glanced at it a few times, and then said: Your Majesty, this is not Hanyu, it is antique.

Qianlong knew Yao Zongren's level, but he was still a little surprised: You only looked at it a few times, and you can draw conclusions so quickly?

"Go back to the emperor, because my grandfather did it. ”

Okay!

I see.

The craftsmanship of the past is different from the present, it is all ancestral secrets, passed down from generation to generation, and it is difficult to leak out.

Qianlong had questions again at this time, "Yao Gong, I have been studying ancient jade for many years, and my level is okay, how can this jade cup be so similar, so that I can't find any faults?"

Yao Zongren said at this time: It takes time.

Whether it's antique or fake, it all takes time, in fact, there is a layer of meaning in it, and it also needs to cost money!

If this imitation Han Yujue was really made by Yao Zongren and made it so realistic, it would be easy to understand.
