Chapter 1231: Awkward Imitation
Gao Taiming naturally knew the value of the Chunhua Ingot Buddha statue, so he said that he would pry it down first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He didn't expect that in the antique market in Shaozhou, a piece of beech wood from the north of the Ming Dynasty was hung on it, and three Buddha statues were embedded!
This shows that in the Ming Dynasty, some people found the Buddha statue money, and knew how precious it was, so "hidden". And cleverly use the color head of the golden toad, if it is hung at home, it is also a good color head to attract wealth and treasure.
Tang Yi thought about it and agreed with Gao Taiming's statement, although this beech wall hanging, although it was also from the Ming Dynasty, but it was repaired later, in fact, it was already damaged, these three pieces of money are of high value, and it is really not suitable to stay on them, and some people inlaid them at that time, but did not use precious wood, it is estimated that the main purpose is also to hide, not to complement each other.
After buying simple tools from the market and coming to a secluded place, Tang Yi and Gao Taiming carefully pried off the three coins. When prying, it was discovered that the wood located in the square hole in the center of the coin was actually a wooden nail, which was nailed and then polished and smoothed, rather than pure inlay. In this way, it is good, pry off the money, and the wall hanging is not obviously damaged. If you want to repair it, find an ordinary copper coin of about the same size and nail it with a wooden nail.
After prying it off, I looked at the back of the mellow ingots money, and sure enough, there were two Buddha statues. Gao Taiming praised, "You can really do it, just like that, you can still recognize it!" ā
"This is also good luck, this batch of Chunhua ingots money was created by Zhao Guangyi using local craftsmen, and the craftsmanship level is average, so it is not easy to be eyed." Tang Yi said, "Is there this in the antiquities base?" ā
"What do you say?" Gao Taiming looked at Tang Yi, "The craftsmanship level of this kind of money is indeed average, and there are also Chunhua ingots and silver coins in the antiquities base!" ā
"Silver coins are so rare on the market, I haven't seen them before." Tang Yi smiled, "I have to see the real thing when I have the chance, I heard that this is the most exquisite coin at that time!" ā
Zhao Guangyi ordered local craftsmen to build Chunhua Yuanbao Buddha statue money, the level of craftsmanship is generally because it is a local craftsman, and another reason is to rush the system, the reason for the rush is because it obviously contains a deliberate creation effect, so that the people surrender and admire, and consolidate the regime. Just like the Taiping Tongbao issued by Zhao Guangyi when he first ascended the throne, it was to make the people feel "Taiping".
The effect of Chunhua ingots Buddha statue money is very sensational, which led to many princes and magnates following the imitation casting, so this kind of Buddha blessing money, and later there were some other versions.
However, the value of these versions is naturally not comparable to Zhao Guangyi's Wutaishan version. Zhao Guangyi is followed by "silver", the silver money is from the hands of the royal craftsmen, the level of craftsmanship is top, and this layout is also the most beautiful and expensive.
If there is silver money hanging on this wall, I am afraid that Tang Yi will not be easy to pick up the leakage, not to mention exquisite, the color is different. And money and copper coins are not easy to distinguish, and after so many years, there is still dirt to cover up.
Tang Yi picked up two leaks in a row in such a small antique market, and Gao Taiming was really speechless. However, he is not very interested in Yingqing and coins, and he prefers things with Xuanmen characteristics.
Collecting this kind of thing, whether it is a master or a novice, there is an emotional belonging problem. For example, Longquan kiln, many players in Zhejiang Province like it, because it has regional belonging. For example, Buddha statue money, maybe people who believe in Buddhism will be more fond of it, also because of the question of ownership.
In addition, when you first get started, you are exposed to the most real things, and you are more likely to like this kind of things. For example, Wen Jia is, following Tang Yi to buy a string of snow beads at the beginning, he has a little preference for jade. Gao Taiming has a lot of things in contact with the antiquities base, and he is used to seeing rare treasures, but he has a Xuanmen kung fu, so he prefers to be related to this, such as the copper incense burner he saw in the night market.
When Tang Yi and Gao Taiming found Liao Moer and Cao Xuanqi again, Cao Xuanqi had already bought a "small" jar of Yuan blue and white and was holding it to admire.
Of course, this small jar is just a handicraft, and it is a miniature version, only a dozen centimeters high, and the main picture on it is lotus leaf fish algae.
"This?" Tang Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. Yuan blue and white pots, characterized by a huge shape, basically a large jar, you just buy an imitation handicraft to play, you can also make a big one, so that you can feel. Get a smaller version of the small can, it looks really nondescript.
"She has to buy it, it's not expensive, let it be." Liao Mo'er smiled at Tang Yi.
The Yuan Qinghua is huge, and it has a relationship with the people in power, and the base camp of Meng Yuan is the grassland, the world is vast, the character is rough and heroic, and the large type is in line with their character traits. Even the porcelain wine glass is also the kind of big goblet, known as the cup, the diameter is generally about ten centimeters, this way of drinking, is indeed fierce enough.
There are two lines of poetry, which once appeared on the unearthed Yuan blue and white cup: I am often drunk in a hundred years of life, and I count 36,000 games. Well, get drunk every day.
I don't know who created this miniature version of the high-imitation handicraft of the Yuan blue and white jar, but it is easy to take and watch, but that feeling is completely gone.
Cao Xuanqi also knows this, but she thinks that the big pot is too big, and this shrunken handicraft has a unique charm.
Tang Yi didn't plan to say more, but after taking two more glances at this small jar, he found that the ornament was actually seven-layered!
This lotus leaf fish algae Yuan blue and white jar should have been nine-layer ornamentation, but this imitation and shrinkage jar is not only average, but also may be small, so it is a bit laborious to paint nine-layer ornamentation, so it was changed to seven layers without authorization. But in this way, there was another joke.
The ornamentation of the Yuan blue and white jar, generally speaking, has a lot of decorative layers, usually more than five layers, five, six, eight or ninety have appeared, of which "nine" is the most, but Tang Yi has never heard of "seven". Because the Yuan people are "heavy nine evil seven".
Why do you think that "seven" is unlucky, it has something to do with Kublai Khan. When Kublai Khan was formulating the punishment, he once said, "Heaven will spare you, earth will spare you, and I will spare you." For example, if you have 20 strokes, it will become 17 strokes, and 100 strokes will become 97 strokes. Because it was originally an integer, it was spared three times, and it was basically with seven. That's the number of beatings and punishments, so I feel unlucky.
This can also be found from historical materials, that is, when writing "Seven", in many Yuan Dynasty documents, the hook is to the left, not to the right, this kind of alien avoidance, also shows this.
Therefore, the number of ornamental layers on the Yuan blue and white jar is basically less than seven layers.
Therefore, this Yuan blue and white jar is not only small, but also the number of layers is not right, extremely awkward, very awkward. Although, it's just a high-imitation craft.
