Chapter Ninety-Three: Three Ways to Plate

"Hey, good stuff, really good stuff! The shape is simple and natural, the knife is skillful and smooth, the color is from the skin to the bone, and the ice cracks inside are radial, the real thousand-year-old jade! Yun Cong, you've found something good this time! Li Lao looked left and right, and even took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at it for more than ten minutes before he said with admiration.

"You keep saying it's true?" Li Yuncong asked with a look of surprise.

"Of course it's true, if you don't want it, then leave it to me, an old man!" Li Lao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Yuncong smiled, rubbed his hands and said: "Hehe, you are a real big player, I haven't seen any good things, how can a small piece of Hanyu enter your old eyes!" ”

At Elder Li's age, he hasn't experienced anything, although Li Yuncong's sycophants sound comfortable, but he can't shake Elder Li's heart, but he really doesn't need to grab a junior's things, "Here, take it!" This piece of dragon jade pendant is a serious Han jade, the jade quality is Nanyang Dushan green and white jade, although the jade quality is average, but the ancient jade of Sanqin color is also very rare, finish it! ”

Looking at the ancient Hanyu handed over by the old man, Li Yuncong was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it. Although the value of this piece of Hanyu is not as high as the value of celebrity calligraphy and painting and cherished porcelain, if it is auctioned, how can it be sold for five or six hundred thousand, and it is not uncommon to meet millions of people you like.

However, because such ancient jades have been buried in the ground for too long, most of them are dull and inconspicuous because of the relationship between the color and Qin, and if they want to restore their original warm luster, they still need to be further finished by the owner.

Generally speaking, the ancient folk playing jade are mainly divided into three methods: one is the martial plate, the second is the Wenpan, and the third is the Yipan.

Let's talk about the martial arts method first, which is also called the emergency plate. It must be worn by your side and warmed by people, because the human body is hot and sweaty. After wearing it for a few months, the texture of the ancient jade will gradually harden, at that time, we can wipe it with a clean old cloth, rub it until it has a slight improvement, and then wipe it with a new cloth. However, do not use colored cloth, white cloth and coarse cloth should be used.

The more we rub it, the hotter the ancient jade becomes, so we can't stop it. The more you rub it, the easier it is for the turbidity and dryness of the ash to fade naturally, and the colored places can naturally condense, and the color of the ancient jade will become more and more perfect. It takes about a year to restore the jade to its original state. But if Wupan is not careful, the jade may be destroyed.

In addition to Wupan, the second kind of pangong of ancient jade in my country is Wenpan, also known as slow pan. The so-called Wenpan method is to tie Peiyu around the waist from time to time and raise it with its own human temperature. Wenpan must be patient and not impatient, which can also be said to be a method of cultivating character by the ancients. Usually for two or three years, the color of the ancient jade is only slightly revealed, and it has to be "raised" for several years before the color of the ancient jade can become distinct.

If it is worn for more than ten years, it is possible to restore the old view of ancient jade. However, according to the experience of some jade experts, the ancient jade of the Qin and Han dynasties generally had to be worn around the waist for more than ten years before it could be restored. The ancient jade of the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties had to be worn for a longer time, five times or six times longer, that is, more than fifty or sixty years, in order to restore the original color of the ancient jade.

In short, the longer the ancient jade has been in the soil, the more difficult it is to get out of the original color, the reason is that the longer it is subjected to the earth's qi, the more it will go deeper into the jade bone, and the essence will be revealed slowly.

The third is the Yipan method, which refers to the jade collector holding the jade in his hand, while playing, while thinking about the virtues of jade, constantly absorbing the essence from the virtue of jade, and cultivating his own temperament, over time, he can reach the noble realm of the unity of jade people, jade has been maintained, and the spirit of Panyu people has also been sublimated.

Yipan is a very high realm, the spirit of the wall is needed, not so much the jade pan, but the jade pan people, the unity of the jade and the spirit, the spirit is psychic, very few people in history can reach such a spiritual realm, let alone the impetuous modern people.

The spiritual realm of the Italian plate is too demanding, and the martial arts must be asked to be constantly dished day and night, the cost is too great, and most of the current jade collectors take the method of combining the literary plate with the martial arts plate, which is not only worn closely, but also played with the disc in the hand from time to time. However, no matter what kind of jade method is adopted, the Xinkeng jade cannot be played immediately, and it must be hidden close to the body for a year, and the hardness can be restored.

However, Li Lao did not explain these knowledge of panyu to Liu Dong and Li Yuncong here, because one of them is a jade carver and the other is a family teacher, and they all know the methods of playing with these jades. There is no need for him to waste his tongue at all.

"It's bad, it's your kid's fool again!" Seeing Li Yuncong happily wrapping the jade pendant and carefully putting it into his pocket, Li Lao slapped his forehead and scolded with a smile of annoyance.

He knows his own faults, as long as he sees something good, if he doesn't identify the authenticity, he will definitely not let go. That's the real tea don't think about it, don't want to eat. Searching for information all night is to find a way to identify antiques. Of course, it is precisely with this spirit of love and study that the old man who became a monk halfway has become a well-known antique appraisal in the entire Quancheng, the entire Dongshan Province, and even in the whole country.

Hearing the old man's words, Li Yuncong just smiled 'hehe' and didn't answer, anyway, he got cheap left and right.

Looking at his appearance, the old man couldn't help but shake his head with a little helplessness, for this old friend's grandnephew, over the years, his character, the old man also knows a lot. Although his family background is extraordinary, he does not have the arrogance of a high-ranking disciple. Although he is lazy, he has a bold personality and treats people with sincerity, and it is more difficult to be filial piety. The old man was very fond of him.

"Well, it's past nine o'clock! Xiaodong, let's go! Otherwise, it may be a little late! Moreover, it's not good to let people wait for us! When the old man had finished speaking, he went out of the house.

"Elder Li, are you going to do an appraisal for others? Can you take me with you? Seeing that the old man was eager to go out, Li Yuncong hurriedly said beside him.

Maybe the time is already a little insufficient, and the two sides also know each other, so after listening to his words, the old man didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed.

"Brother Liu, thank you just now!" Walking behind the old man, Li Yuncong walked up to Liu Dong and said softly.

Of course, Liu Dong understood the meaning of his words, nodded his head, and signaled that it was nothing, "You're welcome, didn't you help me last time?" Originally, he had a good impression of this person, but now with the relationship between Li Lao, the relationship between the two parties is invisibly a little closer.

"Okay, since my brother said so, then it would be obvious for me to say thank you again. However, this friend of yours was handed over by Li Yuncong. If you want me to help you with anything in the future, just ask. After a pause, he glanced at Li Lao, who was walking in front, and whispered to Liu Dong: "Brother, last time I heard them say that you are very good at gambling stones, can you take me to play?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at him and chuckled: "Gambling stones? I thought you asked me to take you to the casino to play a few games!? ”

After listening to his words, Li Yuncong looked bitter, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, "Forget about gambling, if my dad knows, you have to break my leg!" After finishing speaking, a look of fear involuntarily appeared on his face, obviously he must have suffered a lot from this before.

Seeing that he was unpretentious in front of him, Liu Dong had a deeper impression of him. may also be because of his own personality, he prefers to make friends with people with bold personalities, warm personalities, and broad minds. Whether it is Mu Gang, who is a little stupid but simple-minded and strong in martial arts, or Li Yuncong in front of him is the kind of person who can be regarded as a friend by him. Of course, after many years of friendship, Mu Gang is not only his friend, but the two who have fought countless times are more like brothers.

The three of them did not walk through the front door of the Agarwood Pavilion, but walked out of the small door.

"Mother Wu, I'll go out to do something in the morning, and I'll take care of you!" Standing at the door, Li Lao explained seriously.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, Nan Nan is also what I have seen since I was a child, in my heart, she is the same as my own granddaughter, I will take good care of him, you can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Li Lao nodded, he was still very relieved about this Wu mother, who had been a servant for himself for nearly ten years.
