Chapter 700: Western Han Jianxuan
Tang Yi knew that this ticket for driving and making a phone call actually passed with one eye open and one eye closed. Wu Yonggong punished him, and now he is begging him again, so he is a little embarrassed. However, it was precisely because Wu Yonggong enforced the law impartially that he had a good impression of Wu Yonggong.
"Mao Chai is busy with the company's affairs, if the two of you don't dislike it, you can talk about something." Tang Yi poured tea, "Could it be that the two of you want to find something good?" ”
"Actually, I got something by accident and let Yonggong look at it, but the level of me and Yonggong is really limited, and I know too little about counterfeiting methods, so I want to ask someone to palm my eyes." Zou Ning spoke very directly, "Old Tang."
As you know, we are busy with work, and although we love antiques, we don't have much contact with people in the circle. ”
Wu Yonggong continued, "Mao Zhu and I also came to buy things and met, and we can talk. Even if he can't break it, the network in the circle is always wider than ours. ”
"Did you bring anything?" Tang Yi took a sip of tea.
"Brought!" Zou Ning hesitated slightly. He didn't know Mao Chai, but before he came, he heard Wu Yonggong say that he was a young man, and he was a little uneasy, but now he sees that Tang Yi is actually Mao Chai's boss, and he is so young, so he feels that there is not much hope.
Tang Yi also saw that Zou Ning's mind was more delicate than Wu Yonggong's, and he thought a little more. However, it is normal to feel at ease when meeting for the first time.
Zou Ning only hesitated slightly, and then took it out of the leather bag he was carrying.
It turned out to be a jade piece, white jade.
It is about ten centimeters long and less than five or six centimeters wide. Rectangular, thick at one end, with a square hole cut out and a piece removed at the other, forming a hook-shaped structure. The overall shape is a bit like a flat "P" shape.
On the flat side, there are large particles arranged regularly. This jade piece has a strong sense of light, and at first glance, it even has the feeling of glass.
Tang Yi nodded secretly, "How did the thing come about?" ”
"I bought it at the Cultural Market. At that time, the vendor wore this thing on his belt and used it as a belt buckle. Zou Ning explained, "Nowadays, many people like to get a jade buckle to hang on their belts, but this thing has a hook underneath, which is a bit special, so I took a second look."
Seeing Zou Ning staring at it a few times, the vendor actually untied his belt and took off the jade piece. After Zou Ning got his hands on it, he found that in addition to the one and a half short and not long hooks underneath, this light sense is not the same as that of common jade pieces, it is particularly bright, like glass. This makes people feel a little fake, in his opinion, good Hetian material gives people a soft and warm feeling, and this is like the effect of Qinghai material throwing highlights.
Zou Ning was a little disappointed, and asked the price while handing the things back to the vendor. The hawker opened his mouth for 5,000, and Zou Ning didn't think it meant much, so he didn't make a counteroffer, so he pulled his legs and left.
Unexpectedly, the peddler immediately called out to him and asked him to pay back the price, and Zou Ning casually returned a tenth of the price, five hundred. When the peddler heard this, he shook his head again and again, and let him add more. Zou Ning originally said the price casually, it would be good if he didn't say one or two hundred, and he was not verbose at the moment, and he was going to leave again. As a result, the hawker actually followed a few steps to catch up, shouting to open a show, and actually gave him five hundred!
This made Zou Ning feel that this was not a good thing, but even if it was a Qinghai material, it was not small, and five hundred would not be a loss.
"I took it back and showed it to Yonggong, and he thought it was an old thing. We are busy with work, so we haven't looked for anyone to see, but now we are both off duty, saying that we came to the antique street together, and he asked me to bring this jade piece, just looking for someone to help take a look. Zou Ning said.
"You two don't usually have much contact with Gu Yu, right?" Tang Yi couldn't help but ask more.
"Yes, in fact, we are mainly playing a literary game, antiques are playing a copper coin, and other things are mostly small pieces that come into contact with the Republic of China." Wu Yonggong told the truth.
When Tang Yi heard this, he said directly, "Zou taught you that your luck was too good, and you didn't want to insert willows, and as a result, you picked up a grain-patterned jade sword in the early Western Han Dynasty for five hundred yuan." I guess if the peddler knew, his intestines would be repentant! ”
"Jade Jianxuan?" Zou Ning obviously hadn't heard of this title, but he scratched his head, "I heard that vendor say that it seems to have been harvested in the countryside." But this material doesn't seem to be very good, Hetian jade's things, and the generally poor material is only highlight."
"Antiques, sometimes like this, those who know how to do it may not be lucky." Tang Yi explained, "The Warring States and the Western Han Dynasty are the peak period of jade, and many production methods can't be cracked now. ”
"So, this is indeed an ancient jade sword ornament?" Zou Ning then asked, his tone full of excitement.
"That's right, sword ornaments are generally a set of four, in addition to this sword pendant, there is also a sword head, a sword grid, and a sword pendant." Tang Yi saw that the two of them were listening carefully, so he explained in detail.
"The sword is generally fixed to the scabbard. You see this square hole, and this hook, just to make it easier for the ancients to fix the saber on their waists. Jian Chuan can be said to have two major functions: decoration and practicality. ”
"The head of the sword, set at the top of the hilt. The sword lattice is designed at the junction of the sword body and the hilt, which is actually the function of a gauntlet. The sword is fixed to the end of the scabbard. ”
"During the Western Han Dynasty, ordinary swords would not be decorated with jade swords. Jade sword ornaments, mainly a kind of dignity of emperors and nobles, can also be used as a reward. Among the jade sword ornaments that have been handed down, this sword pendant you bring is the most common, because it has the most complex structure and is relatively beautiful, which can satisfy the psychology of playing and collecting. As you can see, a lot of people can use it as a buckle. ”
"Jianxuan, there was also a common name in ancient times, some people called it 'Zhaowen Belt'. The name is very interesting, the sword was originally a symbol of 'wu', but the sword is called the Zhaowen belt, the ancients used this corresponding expression, but also showed the power of the weapon. ”
Tang Yi said this, and suddenly realized that he had explained a little too much, "I'm sorry, I didn't stop the car, and Team Wu had to give me a ticket again." ”
Wu Yonggong laughed, "Today is really teachable!" ”
"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it!" Zou Ning listened attentively.
"The characteristics of this sword in different eras are more complicated, but I am sure that this is a product of the Western Han Dynasty." Tang Yi didn't expand it this time, mainly because it was too much, and Zou Ning and Wu Yonggong could only be regarded as enthusiasts, their skills were not deep, and many things were not easy to explain.
"I didn't think I could pick it up!" Zou Ning's excitement was beyond words. But anyone who loves antiques always has that kind of expectation in their hearts. It's just that now, it's too difficult to pick up a leak!
At this time, Ge Baoduo's door was pushed open again, and the people who came seemed to be very random, and before they saw the scene in the store, they shouted: "Mao Zhu, when will Mr. Tang come back?" ”
