This time the Huaxia Treasure Appraisal Program, although there are a lot of treasures, but what really makes Zhang Tianyuan eye-catching, in fact, there are only two things, one is the Longshan black pottery he has already bought, which cost two million RMB, and the other is naturally this Yucong King, it is estimated that it will not be five million, it is difficult to win, but it also depends on skills.

As for other things, of course, there are good ones, but most of them are tens of thousands of yuan, at most hundreds of thousands, Zhang Tianyuan's own private museum, that must be a high-quality product, of course, it may not be high-priced, but it must be able to enter his eyes, otherwise he will not be happy to look at himself, then it will not be interesting.

The show has now come to an end, and it will basically be announced that it will be over in about twenty minutes, but the enthusiasm of those treasure holders in the audience is still very high, after all, Los Angeles is an ancient capital, and there are a lot of treasures here.

After all, it's just a filming show, which means that, if these people really want to appreciate treasures, they can go to a professional appraisal agency, and they come here just because it's free.

Seeing that the show was about to end, the treasure holder was also a little anxious, and the next one came up, holding a thing in his hand, which was the only one in the Huaxia Treasure show this time.

"Is it lacquerware?" Ma Yong is a miscellaneous expert, and of course he came to identify this lacquerware.

"Yes, it's lacquerware, I spent a million when I bought it, and it was said that it was 'Han Dynasty gold lacquerware three-legged basin zun', and I bought it when I was hot-headed, and I happened to have a little spare money around me. "The person who came was wearing a tunic and looked like a collector.

"Which of you is good at lacquerware? I'm an expert in miscellaneous matters. But I really don't know enough about this lacquerware, so I don't dare to specialize in it. "After Ma Yong got it. Hurriedly turned to several other experts for help.

It's a pity that whether it is Qin Mu, Jun Ruhai or Zhang Rusheng, the understanding of lacquerware is just dabbling. Not proficient.

"Ma Lao, let me try. Zhang Tianyuan volunteered.

He didn't want to steal business, but he happened to read some books about lacquerware recently, and his character appreciation skills would definitely not identify mistakes, even if the explanation was not clear, but at least the identification would not be wrong, and it would not damage the reputation of several experts.

"Okay, then you can do it. "Ma Yong now has complete trust in Zhang Tianyuan.

The treasure bearer also seemed to be very happy, and said with a smile: "I have seen all the tables of Teacher Xiao Zhang in the past few days. If you say it's true, that's true, and if you say it's false, it's absolutely false. ”

Zhang Tianyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Everyday utensils, handicrafts, and works of art made by lacquer applied to the surface of various utensils are generally called 'lacquerware'. Lacquer is a natural sap harvested from the sumac tree, which is mainly composed of urushiol, laccase, gum and water. It is used as a coating, which has special functions such as moisture resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and can be formulated with different color paints, which is brilliant. Lacquerware can afford the term art. It is not only related to its color and materials, but more importantly, the unique decoration of lacquerware and the colorful and allegorical pictures and totems. The ornamentation of lacquerware also contains a great deal of knowledge. ”

This can be regarded as learning and using now, regardless of whether this thing is true or not, as an expert and scholar. At the very least, you have to explain to the audience what lacquerware is and whether it is collectible or not.

Zhang Tianyuan continued: "Han Dynasty lacquerware reached a heyday on the basis of production during the Warring States period. Lacquer ware from the Han Dynasty. Including tripods, pots, francium, bottles, bowls, cups, cups, plates and other eating utensils, and cosmetic utensils such as cups and boxes. There are many types and items of furniture such as desks and screens. But it is mainly a container based on eating utensils. In addition, large items such as lacquer dings, lacquer pots, lacquer francium, etc., were added to lacquerware, and lacquer ritual vessels appeared to replace bronze ware. There are also lacquer coffins, lacquer bowls, lacquer coffins, lacquer plates, lacquer cases, lacquer ear cups, etc., all of which are wooden tires, most of them are red inside and black, and red or ochre patterns are painted on the black lacquer. ”

"You belong to the basin, the wooden lacquerware! The basin is used to hold the general wine, is an important wine vessel in the Han Dynasty! This piece is divided into two parts: the lid and the body. The lid is lacquered with red color on a black ground, and the outer ring is surrounded by two groups of symmetrical deformation wind bird patterns, and the inner is filled with gold color, which is gorgeous and extraordinary. The body of the vessel is oblique and cylindrical, and the red color and gold are painted with deformed wind and bird patterns, and the red color is connected with back lines. There are symmetrical beast heads and ringed ears on the upper abdomen, which are distributed in a five-point arrangement with the heads and feet of the three beasts. The overall shape is magnanimous and luxurious, the color is bright, the paint is bright, the light can be appreciated, the temperament is elegant, and the atmosphere is graceful. After long-term dehydration, the whole utensil is very light, and the carcass is also somewhat deformed in the dehydration process. ”

Hearing this, Ma Yong couldn't help but give Zhang Tianyuan a thumbs up: "Xiao Zhang, yes, these professional knowledge, it seems that you really have to work hard to learn." ”

"It's just two more books than others, but it's nothing. Zhang Tianyuan smiled.

"Is this thing worth anything?" asked the treasure bearer, a little nervously.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said: "You see that I said this treasure so well, how can it not be worthless?

"Really? I used to buy it blindly, in fact, I heard others say that collecting lacquerware can make money, so I bought it, and after buying it, I have been scared and regretted, can you tell me about it?

Zhang Tianyuan looked at the time, anyway, it didn't take long, it was estimated that after this treasure holder was over, today's filming work would be over, so he simply smiled and said, "No problem." ”

"Let me tell you this, if jade represents the elegance of the Chinese people, and porcelain symbolizes the essence of ancient Chinese culture, then lacquerware is an indispensable ancient luxury. Zhang Tianyuan continued: "Luxury must be known to everyone, many people like luxury now, just because it is expensive, just like that luxury, in fact, lacquerware in ancient times, that is luxury!"

In April 2004, at the scene of the national TV station's "Art Investment" column, Xucheng collector Zhang Jichao held out a treasure - a set of Han Dynasty cloud pattern painted lacquerware seven sons. This set of seven sons is well preserved and exquisitely made. Extremely rare. After the appraisal of Mr. Li Jiufang and Xia Gengqi, two researchers of the Palace Museum, they unanimously agreed that it is a treasure of lacquerware in the Han Dynasty. At the same time, the appraisal price is 5 million yuan. What's even more rare is that Mr. Zhang Jichao decided to donate this private collection to the Stone Town Museum free of charge.

I heard a friend say that. Due to the extraordinaryness of this set of seven sons' boxes, when Zhang Jichao brought the box to the imperial capital for identification, it attracted the 'coveting' of the Imperial Palace Museum. A lacquerware expert was extremely excited to see the Seven Sons Box, hoping to leave this set of national treasures in the imperial capital and enter the Imperial Palace Museum. But Mr. Zhang insisted on bringing the treasure back to Stone Town and donating it to his hometown, and since then, this box of the Seven Sons of the Western Han Dynasty has become the treasure of the Stone Town Museum.

Many people know that jade and porcelain are unique antiques in our country, but they don't know that lacquerware is also an authentic quintessence. Unlike jade, porcelain and other antique objects, lacquerware collection is an unpopular in the industry. ”

"Five million, is this thing worth that much? And I didn't think of it. This lacquerware is actually an unpopular collection. The treasure bearer was surprised.

"In fact, now this thing is not unpopular, the prosperous collection, now people's living standards have improved, and the lacquer collection is gradually becoming hot. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"I know that jade and porcelain are very famous, but few people know about this lacquerware. The treasure bearer said again.

At this time, Ma Yong smiled and said: "Everyone knows that the English 'CHINA' in China is synonymous with porcelain, but we don't know that the English 'JAPAN' in Japan is the same as lacquerware. Originally, Japan's lacquerware craft was introduced to Japan in the late 6th century. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, China refused to sell lacquerware to the West at a lower price, which made the Japanese take advantage of the loopholes. Since then, the Japanese have emulated the lacquer art of our country. It was sold in large quantities to the West and claimed to be the 'country of lacquer art'.

In recent years, China's attention to cultural relics and craftsmanship, as well as China's ancient lacquerware has repeatedly achieved good results in international auctions. The former luxury goods of our country have regained the glory of history.

In the spring auction of 2001, Christie's Hong Kong presented 26 precious pieces of Chinese lacquerware from the l2nd century to the 16th century. In the end, 24 lots were sold, with a turnover of more than HK$30 million. Thereinto. A large round box of red peony flowers, which experts call the pinnacle of Yongle lacquer art, was sold at a price of 12.87 million Hong Kong dollars, setting the highest record for lacquerware auctions in China at that time.

In the following years, China's mainland auctions frequently launched lacquerware products. In 2003, China Guardian launched the 'Wang Shixiang and Yuan Quanyou Collection of Chinese Art', and in the same year, Shangpu Chongyuan and the imperial capital Hanhai also launched lacquerware auctions, all of which were sold for millions of yuan. After that, auction companies such as the imperial capital Kuangshi and Poly also increased their collection of lacquerware lots.

Compared with the huge number of auction items, the occurrence rate of lacquerware is very rare, and most of them are sold at high prices in Hong Kong.

In 2006, Sotheby's Hong Kong sold for HK$6,063,000 for a Qing Dynasty 'Qianlong Red Imperial Poetry Holder', and in 2007, Hong Kong Jasic sold for HK$4,973,000 for a Ming Dynasty Xuande 'Red Double Lotus Leaf Plate'.

On December 3, 2008, Ming Yongle's 'Red Double Phoenix Lotus Holder' was auctioned at Christie's Hong Kong. This piece of lacquerware is not only extremely complex and exquisite, but the most rare highlight is the imperial inscription poem of Emperor Qianlong in Zhantonei. As a result, the lacquerware sold for HK$33.14 million, setting a record for the highest lacquerware auction to date.

The cheapest of these lots is also several million, so the old man thinks that the real product in the hands of this treasure holder is not a problem if it is about 8 million. ”

Ma Yong finally set a price for the treasure holder's lacquerware, which gave Zhang Tianyuan a little headache.

In fact, from the very beginning, Zhang Tianyuan fell in love with this lacquerware, and was ready to bargain for the price, and then buy it himself, but Ma Yong probably didn't know what he meant, so he raised the price to eight million at once, although it was not a loss, but it was still a bit much.

"Actually, this lacquerware is a bit more troublesome to collect than jade and ceramics. In the mainland auction market, although lacquerware has repeatedly hit high prices, it has not been able to emerge and form a scale. In this regard, Li Yanjun, a special researcher at the National University of Geosciences, believes that the lacquerware market is similar to the jade market, mainly based on artifacts from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The main reason is that lacquerware is not conducive to preservation and play, and people do not have enough understanding of the artifacts before the Yuan Dynasty, and the price of ancient lacquerware in China is still at a low level, so unless this thing is a discerning person, unless you really want to buy it, you really can't afford such a high price, but millions are still by. Zhang Tianyuan said that this was reasonable, but he was actually bargaining for himself, he really liked this thing. (To be continued......)
