"Look, it's too early to pretend to be forced, right?" Huo Xiaodong smiled proudly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Zhongyuan: "I heard that the people of the Liang family have always paid attention to good things and come from the right way, and they are not afraid of spending more money. I didn't expect to come to Nancheng this time!"

"You don't know, last year's Junyao flower pot in our auction house was also auctioned by the Liang family, but it wasn't this Liang Manwu. I heard that this Jun kiln flower pot is now in Liang Garden. Huo Xiaodong said.

"I've only heard of Liang Yuan, known as the Little Forbidden City. How much do you know?" Sun Zhongyuan then asked.

"Since you know that the Liang family's main business is incense, you don't know about Liang Yuan?"

"I know Liang's incense and Liang's wood, and I also know Liang Yuan, but it's all hearsay, and there aren't many. ”

Actually, Huo Xiaodong didn't know much, but he had heard Shi Lao say that it was relatively first-hand information.

Liang Garden, located in Junchi Town, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, is the largest private garden-style museum in China, covering an area of more than 200 acres. It was built 20 years ago by Liang Qishu, the current chairman of the Liang Group.

The antique heavy weapons in this collection are a collection of nearly a hundred years of collection of four generations of the Liang family, and Liang Qishu is the fourth generation, but he is also over the age of six.

In the Chinese folk collection circle, Liang Yuan has the saying of "Little Forbidden City".

The reason why Huo Xiaodong knows so much is because Shi Lao and Liang Qishu are acquaintances, and they once visited Liang Yuan once.

The topographical structure of Liang Garden, like a galloping horse, has a hall, three halls, five fasts and seven corridors, and there are also some "other courtyards". Ordinary areas and exhibition halls can be visited with tickets, but the Zhanyun Palace, which is located at the head of the horse, is not open to the public, and only the friends of the Liang family and the big names in the collection industry have been seen when they go in.

Shi Lao once visited the Zhanyun Palace, and he was also amazed.

The Liang family's industries are not only distributed in China, but also have branches on Hong Kong Island, Europe and the United States. The Liang family started out in incense and wood, but nowadays, it is also widely involved in finance and real estate.

"This Liang Manwu is the granddaughter of Liang Qishu, I heard that she is young, but she is an antique master. However, her most powerful thing is to identify spices, and it is said that even Liang Qishu, a master who has studied spices for many years, also admires this granddaughter. Huo Xiaodong introduced.

Sun Zhongyuan thought for a while, "It seems that the fragrance on her body is not an ordinary perfume fragrance, it seems that some kind of high-grade agarwood has been added." ”

"Shen Tan Dragon Musk Deer, these high-grade spices are made by the head of the Liang family. Huo Xiaodong said, "Nowadays, the agarwood market is hot, and all kinds of messy fakes and inferior products have emerged, but the agarwood of Liang's incense has always been authentic." ”

Shen Tan dragon musk, the holy product of the four major incense, in ancient times, there was also a big quadrangle incense, referring to agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris, musk, which is regarded as two plant spices and two animal spices. However, the claim of ambergris is controversial, and it is also said that it is borneol, which has become a plant-based spice again.

In any case, agarwood is always in the first place.

"Do you know anything about agarwood?" Huo Xiaodong asked again.

"You don't really want to get close, do you?" Sun Zhongyuan asked rhetorically, "I do know a little, but I'm afraid I can't compare with this Miss Liang." ”

"The eldest lady of the Liang family, I'm almost useless? It's just that I'm curious about this kind of woman. Besides, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, in case she takes a picture of something and wants to meet and talk to the treasure owner, I'm ready to have a little knowledge reserve, so I won't lose it!" Huo Xiaodong said with a smile, "I really haven't touched this thing like agarwood." ”

"Agarwood is a plant-based spice, but it is not wood. Sun Zhongyuan frowned, "On your foundation, don't hold on to Buddha feet temporarily, agarwood is very complicated." ”

"!" Huo Xiaodong scolded, "Then tell me, what is the difference between agarwood and agarwood?"

"Can't we meet tomorrow?" Sun Zhongyuan really couldn't cry or laugh, this Huo Xiaodong was really a little nervous sometimes.

"Let's talk about it briefly!"

Sun Zhongyuan couldn't help it, so he had to talk briefly on the phone. In fact, the agarwood he learned was also limited, but when Xu Beiwu explained incense antiques to him, he once took out a piece of Qi Nan incense, and at the same time burned it, he told him.

Agarwood and agarwood are indeed not the same thing, to use a somewhat awkward analogy, just like mussels and pearls, agarwood can produce agarwood, but agarwood is not agarwood.

Agarwood is a plant, a plant of the family Ruixiang, this plant can secrete oil. The secreted oil must have special conditions to form agarwood, so although agarwood is knotted in agarwood, it is essentially a mixed spice, and the oil becomes balsam, and the composition is very complex.

Those who like agarwood and have been in contact with agarwood also know that the general agarwood is very light to start, much lighter than wood. But there are also heavy ones, and once they can reach the level of immersion, the oil content in them must be extremely high, and such agarwood is very rare. Nowadays, there are still clamor agarwood on the market, but the price is not high, just think about it to understand what's going on.

Agarwood, since it is a general term for plants in the Ruixiang family, there are many varieties. There are probably hundreds of species, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, all of them, and there are also in China.

But not all of these hundreds of agarwood can produce incense, and there are about a dozen kinds of agarwood that can produce incense.

There are three basic reasons for determining the grade of agarwood, the first is the variety of agarwood, the second is the condition of incense, and the third is the length of incense formation.

Tree species are relatively easy to distinguish, and the conditions for setting incense are more complicated. Wild agarwood, growing in nature, is prone to damage when encountering lightning and electric shocks, wind and rain damage, and insect and animal bites.

When the tree is injured, it will repair itself, and agarwood can secrete oil to protect the damage, and it is also susceptible to fungal infection in the process, and the thing that grows on the tree is quasi-agarwood.

On the basis of quasi-agarwood, after years of mellowing, finally, agarwood is formed.

If the incense is short, the quality is definitely not as good as the long time. Coming back to the question of weight, generally speaking, the longer the incense set, the greater the oil content, and the heavier it.

However, now the market is eager for quick success, and some merchants come out to sell quasi-agarwood. Of course, that's not bad, because it's wild and natural. Nowadays, most merchants sell artificial incense things, which have a short time to produce incense and high yield. And the worst thing, of course, is the fake agarwood made of chemical raw materials.

"Okay, I don't know much, let's go to bed early! I have to go to the auction tomorrow!" Sun Zhongyuan said and yawned.

"Okay, you sleep, I'll check the information again. I found that agarwood is indeed worth collecting!" Huo Xiaodong said with a smile.

Sun Zhongyuan thought to himself, pull it down, isn't there some Liang Man dance, will you be interested in agarwood?
