Chapter 663: Liangzhu Yucong
……
Liu Dong is no stranger to Dutch, since the appearance of Relic Yuanguang has given him the ability to almost never forget, the languages of major European countries have basically been mastered by him, the difference is only that the proficiency is different.
Coupled with Fang Zhonghua, a map cannon who once studied at the University of Amsterdam, even if the two are in a foreign country, there is still no obstacle to communication.
Soon, I took a ride to the Museum Square, which was not far from the hotel where the two of them stayed, and it took only ten minutes.
"The environment here is much better than in China?" Looking at the ancient buildings around him that still retain the architectural style of the Dutch Golden Age, Liu Dong sighed slightly after taking a look.
"This is also a helpless thing, the Netherlands is a European economic power, a developed country, in terms of education and embracing is naturally stronger than the country, after all, people have been developing for hundreds of years, not the current domestic can be compared!" Fang Zhonghua Road.
Liu Dong nodded, modern China is more like Europe at the beginning of the last century, with a booming economy and industry. However, not enough attention has been paid to other aspects, especially environmental protection and education, which is determined by the stage of economic development, if China is also an economically developed country that has developed for hundreds of years, then the domestic environment is certainly not worse than the current Europe!
patted Liu Dong on the shoulder. Fang Zhonghua said with a smile: "Okay, the national politics are not something that the two of us can intervene in, let's hurry up and dig out the treasure, there are many antique shops here!" ”
After nodding, Liu Dong followed Fang Zhonghua towards the distance.
Because of the large number of museums in the vicinity of the Museum Square, it is natural that there are many shops selling antiques. Coupled with the fact that it is located in the heart of the city, there is not a lot of traffic here, although it is only around 9 o'clock in the morning, it has become bustling, but most of the people are tourists. After all, Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, has a population of just over one million, which is similar to an ordinary prefecture-level city in China!
Following Fang Zhonghua, Liu Dong, who came to the Netherlands for the first time, was naturally dominated by Fang Zhonghua, who was familiar with the road.
"Let's go, Xiaodong, let's go to this store first, I know the owner inside, and I promise to give us a good price!" Saying that, Fang Zhonghua pulled Liu Dong into this small shop called 'Gulna'!
The layout of the antique shop is similar to that of China. The shelves around it are lined with porcelain, paintings, and a small number of sculptures, but most of them are handicrafts. There aren't many good things that are really valuable.
However, there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the whole store, and they are full, because of the obvious lack of tidying, almost the same as some second-hand stores!
But it can also be seen from this layout that this store is really a good place for Taobao for some years.
"Knock knock. Old man Ace, a guest! ”
Approaching the store. Fang Zhonghua walked to the oak counter next to it, which was already slightly mottled, and slapped it a few times, then shouted loudly to an old man who was lying on his back and sleeping inside.
"Hmm. Ah, who? ”
The old man, who was awakened by Fang Zhonghua's loud voice, jumped up from the recliner, and looked at Fang Zhonghua with his eyes open, and after a few minutes, his anger disappeared, and he was replaced by a little surprise, "You are Fang?" ”
"Old Ace, I didn't expect you to remember me!" Fang Zhonghua laughed.
"Of course I remember, you cunning guy, you didn't make a lot of money from me back then!" Despite saying that, Old Man Ace still walked out of the counter and gave Fang Zhonghua a big hug.
After the two briefly reminisced, the old man Ace naturally noticed Liu Dong standing on the side, and immediately asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, this is Liu Dong, don't look at his young age, but he is much better than me in antique identification!" Fang Zhonghua Road.
"I'm not as powerful as Brother Fang said, hello!"
Holding Liu Dong's right hand that he took the initiative to stretch over, the old man Ace looked Liu Dong up and down, and said with a smile: "Just call me Old Ace!" …… Fang, you compatriot is much more modest than you! ”
"Hehe, yes, be careful that he picks up all the treasures you have here!" Fang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Hearing this, Old Man Ace glanced at Liu Dong in a little surprise, with his understanding of Fang Zhonghua, there are not many people who can be praised by him many times.
"Alright, old Ace, take out your treasure here, I can bring you a big customer today!" Fang Zhonghua Road.
"Big patron?" Old Ace looked at Liu Dong.
Seeing this, Liu Dong smiled indifferently and said: "As long as the thing is good, the price is not a problem!" And my hobby is not limited to collecting Chinese antiques, if there is a Rembrandt or Van Gogh painting here, I think I will not hesitate to buy it! ”
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Old Ace's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he heard this tone, he knew that the young man in front of him was definitely a master who was not bad for money!
"I don't have any paintings of Rembrandt and Van Gogh here, but since you're Fang's friend, I won't let you down! Wait a minute! With that, old Ace walked through the passage in the center of the store and went up the stairs behind him to the second floor, where it was obvious that this was a commercial and residential house.
Looking at the other party's back, Liu Dong was surprised that the other party trusted Fang Zhonghua so much, and left by himself, without even leaving a gatekeeper!
"Xiaodong, Old Ace's identification level is not bad, there must be a lot of good things in your hand, this time you are going to bleed heavily!" Fang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Of course, he also knew that Liu Dong was not short of money, otherwise he would not have brought Liu Dong here!
"It doesn't matter, as long as the stuff is good. Money is not an issue! Liu Dongdao.
After Zheng Zhou's trip, Liu Dongkali's euros have reached 50 million, although it is not as generous as the previous billions of euros in hand, but it is still very simple to buy a few priceless antiques.
"Brother Fang, don't you look at the things on this floor?"
Seeing Fang Zhonghua standing at the counter without any movement. Liu Dong was surprised.
"No, it's not easy to pick up leaks here in Old Ace, he has a lot of research on our country's porcelain and jade, and I still won't waste this time!" Fang Zhonghua shook his head.
Among the Chinese antiques, the most lost in foreign countries is porcelain, hundreds of thousands of years of East-West trade. Porcelain has always been one of the bulk items, as for calligraphy and painting, unless it is an auction house, it is rarely seen in the foreign antique market, after all, the Eastern and Western cultures are surprised. There is really no market for Chinese painting in the West!
"If you're curious, go for a spin!" Thinking of Liu Dong's astonishing appraisal talent, as well as the eager expression on his face at the moment, Fang Zhonghua smiled.
"Wait for Old Ace's things to be taken down, Brother Fang, you can choose first, just give me a few left!" With that, Liu Dong walked towards the dazzling shelves next to him.
Because Liu Dong's own understanding of Western culture is limited, the level of antique identification is even more limited. Except for some knowledge of oil painting, the others are basically limited to the level of books, and have no experience at all. So he didn't bother to waste time, and directly released the relics Yuanguang and shrouded the entire antique shop, as long as it was full of aura, it must be a good thing.
It's just that Liu Dong didn't expect that his relic Yuanguang had just been released. A rich blue aura rose into the sky!
According to Liu Dong's analysis of the relics Yuanguang, the antiques that can flash blue aura must be antiques that are more than 4,000 years old!
Come to think of it. Liu Dong almost subconsciously went straight to the place where the aura came from, and then from the bottom layer of the shelf. took out a jade with a height of about 8 centimeters, a diameter of about 16 centimeters, a square outside and a round inside, and a black-brown appearance, and the moment he saw this jade, Liu Dong found that this was a jade, and it was also a jade cong from the Liangzhu culture period.
The Liangzhu culture is a type of Neolithic culture distributed in the Taihu Lake Basin, and the representative site is the Liangzhu site, which dates back to 5300-4000 years ago.
The most distinctive feature of this cultural site is the unearthed jade. The jade artifacts excavated from the tombs include bi, cong, yue, huang, crown, three-pronged jade, jade bracelet, jade tube, jade beads, jade pendants, cylindrical jade, conical jade, jade belts and rings.
Its carved ornaments, dense and meticulous, harmonious and neat, especially those fine line carvings, can be called masterpieces of miniature carving.
Although archaeologists still can't decipher how the Chinese ancestors carved such exquisite jade artifacts more than 4,000 years ago, this does not prevent collectors from respecting Liangzhu jade.
However, the material of Liangzhu jade is mainly tremolite, which is not very good green jade, which has been infiltrated by various colors after being buried underground for thousands of years, and the original style cannot be seen.
It is precisely because of this that this jade cong, which is second only to the king of jade cong collected in the Zhejiang Institute of Archaeology in terms of size, will be placed in the corner of an antique shop in a foreign country and no one cares about it.
"Just, how the hell did it fly across the sea to get here?" Liu Dong, who couldn't think clearly, shook his head, after all, there are too many cultural relics lost in modern China!
"This is really a national treasure!"
Looking at the head carved on the surface of Yucong wearing a tall and wide feather crown, a square face, heavy eyes, a wide nose, a wide mouth, and teeth; Shrugging his shoulders, stretching his hands to his waist, squatting on his lower limbs, bird-shaped feet, the gods decorated with animal face patterns all over his body, and the four sections and eight groups of simplified god emblems arranged in the corners, Liu Dong couldn't help but admire in his heart.
It is also difficult for him to imagine how the Liangzhu people carved such exquisite jade four thousand years ago, to know that this statue is very small, and it can only be observed with the help of a magnifying glass, but the carved lines are smooth, as thin as a hair, this obvious means of micro-carving, even if it is changed to modern times, it must have more than ten years of micro-carving foundation, and with the help of a hard diamond carving knife to do it.
But no matter what, this Liangzhu jade cong was finally found by him!
