Fan Liu was urged by everyone, so he shook his head and said: "Even if it is sandalwood, there are good and bad valuables, not to mention that this wood carving is generally stored for a short time, I don't know what age this is, let's let Mr. Zhang talk about it, since he chose this thing, there must be a reason, and I think it, this should not be sandalwood......"

The reason why he said this was just to hide his inner helplessness, in fact, although he was good at the identification of bronzes, not at this wood carving lacquerware, but the judgment was still very accurate, but he didn't want to say the answer, but to let Zhang Tianyuan say, whether Zhang Tianyuan was still a Mr. Nanguo.

But when he left the wood carving, he had a little reluctance and sigh in his eyes, the reason for the sigh should be that he felt that this thing had been smashed a groove for no reason, although the rotten thing was still in it and was not lost, but it was definitely not easy to repair it.

He is right in saying that this thing is indeed not sandalwood, and many people may be mistaken because the color of that thing has changed slightly after being soaked by someone, but although it is not sandalwood, it is another wood that is equally valuable.

Fan Liu saw it, so he was reluctant, but he didn't want Zhang Tianyuan to know. If Zhang Tianyuan couldn't judge correctly, he could naturally stand up and speak freely.

"Mr. Liu is really an expert, and he can't even see this?" Zhang Tianyuan doesn't give the fan Liu face, since you are waiting for me to make a fool of yourself, then I will simply let you make a fool of yourself first, he pretended to be very surprised and said: "This look knows that it is a carving of agarwood, although it is indeed a modern thing." But it comes from the hands of masters, and it is worth a lot of money. Well, if it's not a broken piece in the middle. Probably it could be more expensive......"

"Who said I didn't see it, I just didn't want to say it."

"What, Mr. Liu, is this going to graduate school for me? But you don't seem to be qualified enough. Zhang Tianyuan sneered and said.

However, at this time, the people around didn't care much about the argument between the two people, but were very concerned about Zhang Tianyuan's words. The price of agarwood carving is difficult to say, and the good price is tens of millions, even the works of contemporary sculptors.

If it weren't for that broken groove, I'm afraid this thing would be a shocking leak.

As soon as the place is bad, the price will immediately shrink significantly. But even so, they had to admire Zhang Tianyuan's vision, so many people walked around and didn't take the wood carving seriously, but he chose it directly.

Mr. Li was also a little shocked, the reason why he didn't wash the thing before was because he knew that the thing was broken, for fear that the damage would be more obvious after washing, so he didn't dare to wash it, and secondly, he also wanted the tourists to mistakenly think that this thing had just come out of the tomb. That's why it gets dirt, so I don't want to wash it.

But now, he really has mixed feelings in his heart.

"Mr. Zhang, this thing really has to be an agarwood carving? Which master is it? How much is it worth? ”

Mr. Li actually felt quite bad in his heart. He always thought that the most expensive thing in his stall would not exceed one or two thousand, so he dared to let Zhang Tianyuan choose it with confidence, because at most it would be a loss of one or two thousand. By the way, advertise, that is definitely not a loss.

But now. This carving of agarwood, he absolutely did not believe that there were only one or two thousand. Even if it's broken, it will cost more than 100,000 yuan, although this money is nothing to him, but it is not a taste in his heart.

In fact, don't say it's him, Zhang Tianyuan looked away at first, Zhang Tianyuan also felt that this thing was worth at most one or two hundred thousand at most, it was chosen at random, the key was that he didn't use the word identification trick, but after cleaning, he felt that this thing was not quite right, so he checked it with the word identification trick, this is not checked I don't know, but I was startled when I checked it, and I thought that my luck was too good, I chose a random thing, and it was so valuable, it seems that there is really some inevitable connection between this earth and luck.

"Mr. Li should not be excited, this thing is indeed an agarwood carving, but it has been destroyed, and the price is obviously not as high as when it was complete. And this carved reed crossing the river should be from the hands of the contemporary master Li Fengqiang. ”

Li Fengqiang led by Li Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. to research and production of arts and crafts new, strange, special, boutique, engaged in arts and crafts sculpture, research, innovation, production, the company is good at wood tooth carving and temples, building ancient building decoration, design, construction, etc., has presided over the production of Singapore Guangming Mountain Pujue Temple Ten Thousand Buddha Sculpture Project, Malaysia Johor Temple Decoration Sculpture Project. His works have won nearly 30 national, provincial and ministerial arts and crafts gold medals, 2 gold medals of folk literature and art mountain flower awards, one Luban Award of the Ministry of Construction, dozens of silver medals and bronze awards. ”

"He is also known as the world's first knife because of his excellent knife skills, and he is extremely powerful, and this person is not too old, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a contemporary carving master."

"If I'm not mistaken, his agarwood and reed crossing the river ornament once sold for 28.8 million yuan at the Hanhai auction, and the transaction price was 33.12 million yuan plus commission. This 118-centimeter-tall agarwood carving, weighing about 6,750 grams, has set a record for the highest price of agarwood artwork in the Chinese market. It's not clear why that thing is here, and it's broken. ”

"Li Fengqiang's creation of this agarwood reed across the river ornament is from the main producing area of Indonesia laterite agarwood incense, laterite agarwood because of the red soil of the mountains and forests in the laterite area named, the appearance is mostly reddish-brown, the aroma is strong, sweet with a little spicy, high oil content and heavy, connoisseurs think that this kind of incense material 'aroma emanation, diffuse is very good, mellow aroma, spiral alcohol content is rich, medicinal value is very high', 'due to long-term soil and water burial, special smell, few big materials, has always been the thing that collectors chase'."

Before Zhang Tianyuan's words were finished, some people began to exclaim, especially for those tourists, whether a thing is worth buying, the first thing to look at is its price, if what Zhang Tianyuan said is true, then this is amazing.

More than 30 million, what kind of concept is this? Mr. Li was deceived and only lost more than 2 million, and this small piece of wood is worth 30 million, which is really unbelievable.

The reason why agarwood carving is valuable is actually closely related to its material. It is inseparable from history and culture.

Speaking of agarwood collections, everyone will naturally think of ornaments, beads, handles and other collectibles, in fact, otherwise, agarwood can also turn into incense sticks and become spices. Agarwood powder and incense sticks made of agarwood are also gradually entering collectors and becoming a new direction for agarwood collection.

Incense sticks made from agarwood are divided into several grades, the low-grade incense sticks are made of agarwood shell and agarwood as raw materials, and the high-grade incense sticks are made of agarwood as raw materials. Nowadays, more and more people collect the spices of agarwood in the process of collecting agarwood, and the agarwood blended with a variety of spices will not only not damage its collection value, but will add a lot of color to the collection of agarwood.

If it is a high-end agarwood incense, it is sold in grams, so it is also called a luxury item in the collection. The common agarwood sticks in the market are added with other wood powders, so different agarwood sticks will emit different flavors when lit.

Agarwood has always been the "head of all incense", is a rare medicinal material in nature with antibacterial and immune-enhancing effects, the fragrance emitted when burning, the qi relieves pain, warms and stops vomiting, and relieves asthma. It also improves sleep quality and relieves insomnia, headaches, and stress. Therefore, agarwood is no longer a simple collection, but a collection of aromatherapy and medicine, and can also improve the quality of life of collectors in the process of collection.

According to historical records, China's incense culture began in the Spring and Autumn Period, grew up in the Han Dynasty, completed in the Tang Dynasty, and flourished in the Song Dynasty. As early as the Han Dynasty, agarwood has become a good product in the furnace of princes and nobles, with the prosperity and development of Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity and other religions, the use of agarwood is more frequent. The fundamental reason why agarwood is widely used as a spice is that the smell emitted when it burns is elegant and pure, which is easy to make people calm and enter a peaceful state, which plays a role in naturally regulating the operation of human body qi and dredging the function of internal organs, and is a natural product for health care.

Incense is a practice method that combines the aroma and smoke shape produced by spices with artistic incense utensils and the arrangement of the living environment of incense, coupled with elegant and beautiful incense lighting and smelling techniques, through which all the above triggers memories or associations to create related literary, philosophical and artistic works, so as to make people's lives richer and more interesting.

Ancient gentlemen had four elegances - fighting incense, tasting tea, arranging flowers, and hanging paintings, among which the mastery of incense products was the first of their talents. The incense culture handed down by the ancients to this day is rich in connotation. It is fragrant and aesthetic, paying attention to elegance, connotation, artistic conception, and its incense, incense, incense, and incense are also colorful and full of interest; It also nourishes the body and mind, opens the soul, and achieves the realization of the mind in the use of incense and appearance, so that people like it from the depths of their hearts.

Li Mi of the Tang Dynasty liked to carry incense into the mountains alone, choose a flat place, sit on the ground, and let the fragrance blend with the fragrance of the trees in the mountains after burning incense, so that the body and mind are immersed in the green mountains and green waters and special fragrances, "soothing feelings, feeling the principle of heaven and earth"; Cai Jing's incense in the Song Dynasty should be imposing and make the smoke vigorous; Xu Xuan burned incense and accompanied the moon all his life

Agarwood is extremely valuable in the incense road, and there are four main types of incense in the incense road: agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris and musk. The ancients often said that "Shen Tan Dragon Musk", among the four incense, agarwood is the first. The fragrance emitted when agarwood burns is a quiet and elegant fragrance, which can easily make people calm and enter a state of tranquility. Incense burner, hand stove, incense bucket, incense tube, horizontal stove, smoked ball, incense plate, incense box, incense clip, incense chopstick, incense shovel, incense spoon, incense sachet, etc., the incense utensils with rich shapes have become a beautiful scenery in the incense culture.
