Chapter 822: The Empress of the Stone

"What's more, the blood jade is not as evil as you think, I have to correct it today, otherwise the person in front of the TV should also misunderstand!" Zhang Tianyuan thought about it, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Legend has it that blood jade refers to jade that has penetrated blood, not a kind of natural jade, whether it is jade, Khotanese jade, topaz and other categories, as long as it is really bloody, it is blood jade." ”

"In fact, blood jade is an inaccurate statement, and it is rare for someone to say the word 'blood jade' in jade shops and antique shops. In the ancient jade, some jade will appear red after entering the soil, so some people call this kind of red Qin blood. ”

"Qing Dynasty ancient jade collectors called this kind of red ancient jade Xueqin, they believe that Xueqin is the corpse of rotting blood into the jade. But this statement is unscientific, according to modern scientific tests and experiments, blood will quickly carbonize in the ground, and it will not penetrate into the hard jade body like inorganic matter. ”

"Isn't that blood?" Jian Chen asked.

"The red qin on the ancient jade is the oxidation and decomposition of the iron element in the soil or the iron in the burial goods into the jade body. Generally, the common blood stains are dark red or reddish-brown, which is caused by iron! These are actually scientifically explained, so don't be surprised, let alone associated with any curses. Zhang Tianyuan replied.

"No, but I heard that the formation of blood jade is related to corpses. When a person is buried, the jade as a jade is forcibly stuffed into the population, if the person has just died, the jade that is swallowed in one breath is stuffed in, it will fall into the throat with the gas, enter the dense blood vessels, and leave it for thousands of years, and the dead blood will be stained. The blood thread goes straight to the heart of the jade, and a gorgeous blood jade will be formed. This kind of stuff often falls under the swallow of the skeleton. It is the most precious of all the corpses. Pricing by quality, as little as a few thousand. Most in the millions. "Jian Chen has obviously done his homework, but he is obviously more concerned about legends and stories.

"Haha, this kind of legend can be heard, just like the legend of diamonds, in order to enhance the legend of blood jade, in fact, if you ask me to do it, I use the aqueous solution of iron salt to soak the jade for a long time or soak it in the red dye in order to achieve the purpose of making the jade red, this matter is very simple, after it is done. I can also claim that this is a blood jade from the ancient tomb. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is called fake, right?" Jian Chen asked with a smile.

"That's right, many modern antique jades often appear in the same phenomenon as Hongqin, these jades are generally inferior Xiuyu, and most of them are infected by chemical colorants. Such jade is not showy in red, dull and average in the jade table, this kind of jade has no collection value! For Gu Yuhongqin, we must have a scientific understanding, and don't be superstitious, let alone spread falsehoods. Mislead people about it! Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said, "So if someone uses blood jade to fool you, you can just find an expert to see through their faces." ”

"Okay, let's stop here on the topic of blood jade, I'm going to talk about it. It is the seal of this set of chicken blood jade. Zhang Tianyuan returned the topic to the set of chicken blood jade seals that he took out before and said: "Judging from the workmanship alone, you laymen probably can't see anything, but let me evaluate it." The level of this set of seals should be considered to be medium to high, and the grade is relatively high. Quite outstanding. ”

"Actually, strictly speaking, this should be called a bloodstone seal. Not chicken blood jade. Zhang Tianyuan added: "The appearance of both is mainly black ground and red blood, and there are other colors. ”

"What's the difference between the two?"

"Of course, the difference is not small, the ingredients contained in the two are different, I won't talk about the specifics, some professional terms, the more you listen to them, the more confused, anyway, as long as you know the different causes of their red color, there is also a world of difference in the price of the two."

"Bloodstone is produced in Changhua Town, Linzhou City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Bahrain Right Banner, Hongfeng City, Neiyuan, Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province and other places, and has now been exhausted, its value is quite high, and the price of a good bloodstone can reach millions or even tens of millions."

"Chicken blood jade is produced in Gui. Lin Longsheng County, because there is no standard for chicken blood jade some time ago, its price is not high, generally between thousands to hundreds of thousands, but there are special cases, not on the former China-ASEAN Expo determined to be a national gift, on September 23 auction, Gui. Lin Ji's blood jade Huaxia Dragon sold for 3.5 million yuan, Gui. Lin Ji Xueyu Guan Gong sold for 5.9 million yuan, breaking through Gui. The highest price in the history of the auction of Lin chicken blood jade. But on the whole, the current price of chicken blood jade is still relatively low. ”

"So that's the case, I didn't expect bloodstone to be so valuable!" Chen Jian looked at the seals carved from bloodstone in Zhang Tianyuan's hand, and he also sighed a little.

"Of course, bloodstone and Shoushan stone, Tianhuang stone, Qingtian stone side by side, enjoy the reputation of China's 'four great stones'. It is mainly used as a seal or craft carving material. ”

"Oh, the Four Great Stones turned out to be these four, I've always heard people say it before, but the specifics are not clear." Jian Chen nodded repeatedly.

"The four great stones have their own characteristics, Shoushan stone has bright colors, many varieties, especially Tianhuang is the most precious, known as the 'king of the stone'; Changhua chicken blood is enshrined as the 'queen of the stone', like a peony as delicate and luxurious; and Qingtian stone is respected by the literati for its warm cyan and is suitable for walking knives and other characteristics to enjoy the reputation of 'gentleman in the stone'."

At this time, the delicate bloodstone seal presented in Zhang Tianyuan's hand, there are large and small, the largest is thirty centimeters high, and the smallest is only about ten centimeters, the color is colorful and bright, the chicken blood red is very thorough, it looks beautiful, it is just covered by cloth, otherwise, Chen Jian can also see that this thing is extraordinary.

"I also want to trouble Mr. Zhang to give me a product, what are the benefits of this set of seals?"

Chen Jian asked this because he received a task in the earphone, Zhang Rusheng and Jun Ruhai both wanted to see if Zhang Tianyuan's knowledge of jade had improved, in fact, they also wanted Zhang Tianyuan to show more face, they all admired Zhang Tianyuan, if they could push Zhang Tianyuan up, it would be considered a merit.

"Of course that's fine, wait for me to analyze it carefully......"

Some people say that seals can see a person's true level of engraving, and ancient seals are even more so, this set of seals, whether large or small. The carvings are very complex and delicate, and Zhang Tianyuan wants to say one, two, three. You'll have to take a closer look.

Fortunately, he has been interested in jade since he was a child, and he is very interested in the four great stones of China. That's all very concerned, even though I haven't seen the real thing, but I have accumulated a lot of knowledge.

So for him, doing this is not stage fright.

But observation is observation, and you can't waste too much time, after all, this is not a traditional treasure appreciation program, and the main thing is that it can't make the audience feel boring, so it's about a minute or two later. Zhang Tianyuan already had a bottom in his heart, he carefully looked at almost every one of this set of seals, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

According to the introduction of this set of seals, this thing is handed down by the ancestors of the treasure holder, and this treasure holder also happens to be the province where Changhua bloodstone is located in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is said that this family still belongs to a large family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and has been fought in the past, but that is all in the past. Later, when it was demolished, it was found that there was a box stuffed in the wall, and there was a bag inside the box, and there were these seals in the bag.

At that time, the living conditions of the family were not bad. plus the demolition money, so I didn't rush to sell this thing, but kept it. I'm going to wait until later for the experts to figure out.

Recently, the family needed some funds to start a business, and they were reluctant to take out loans. I thought of this set of bloodstone seals, originally they came to the emperor to participate in another treasure appreciation show. is the show before Dou Xiaoling, and later heard that there was a new show, so I came to join in the fun.

At this time, this treasure holder is in the monitoring room, and you look at Zhang Tianyuan analyzing the bloodstone seal, and you are also nervous.

Judging from the dress of this person, it is definitely not an ordinary family, the diamond ring in his hand, it is estimated that it will take at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to take it down, and the jade bracelet on his wrist is also very close to the transparent material of the glass species, which is really beautiful.

Earrings and necklaces are a combination of diamonds and platinum, the value is very high, not to mention the clothes on the body, just this set of jewelry, it will take one or two million to get it, rich people.

"Now the more famous bloodstone, one is produced in Changhua, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other is the Bahrain bloodstone of Neiyuan, these should be Changhua bloodstone, let me analyze, the bloodstone material used in this set of seals, now there is no more, this is a really good material, not only precious, but also out of print......"

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head with some regret, in the final analysis, this is all because of indiscriminate mining and unrestrained guidance, not only bloodstone, but also Tianhuangshi, and now there is nowhere to mine.

For him, what he can do now is to let the world know about this only remaining treasure.

Know its existence, know its beauty.

"I just said that in the Four Great Stones, Tian Huangshi is the king, and Emperor Qianlong also calls it 'Emperor Yin', and the bloodstone is the queen, as noble as the peony, and the descendants call it the 'Queen of the Seal'.

"The quality of 'blood' is determined by four aspects: blood color, blood volume, concentration and blood shape. High-quality bloodstone requires its blood to be bright and positive, but also alive, and to melt into the 'earth', the amount of blood should be more, the more the better, and it should be thick, and the blood shape is better in the form of blood, and the blood is secondary. This set of chicken blood seals just satisfies the blood red fresh, live, thick, and coagulated, and in terms of blood alone, it can be called the best bloodstone. ”

"The fresh ones are as red as dripping blood; The condenser gathers but does not disperse; Thick refers to those with thickness and layers that penetrate deep into the stone layer. It's such a bloodstone, it's really rare, it's rare! The more Zhang Tianyuan looked at it, the more he liked this thing, and he also had a plan to pocket this thing, anyway, he had just made so much gold, and he was not short of money.

In addition, the ground tension of bloodstone is also an important basis for judging bloodstone. The ground is what kind of stone is dyed red on. The bloodstone floor is pure, translucent, and the bright red color of the nails and blood is the best quality. This set of bloodstones has also been done appropriately, and I suspect that this person also put a lot of effort into choosing this set of bloodstones. ”

"In addition, bloodstone is better to be flawless and crack-free. The existence of flaws and cracks will affect the quality of bloodstone, this set of bloodstone has not done too much carving, basically relying on the original appearance of the seal, it can be seen that there are almost no flaws and cracks, which can be called a good product! ”

"Teacher Zhang, I see that many people use bloodstone to make ornaments and carvings, isn't it a pity that this thing is made into a seal?" Jian Chen asked. (To be continued......)
