PS: It's the middle of the month, ask for a few monthly passes, please support more.

This gathering, in the eyes of some, is a good opportunity to pick up the slack.

Of course, there are gains and losses. If you buy something back, you must not show it off. But it doesn't matter, the Buddha statue, just visit it privately. Otherwise, it is directly given to the monks of the monastery, which can be regarded as a merit.

However, whatever the reason, it can't hide the fact that the Buddha statue is very valuable. Taking Chinese Buddha statues as an example, the highest selling price must be the Tibetan Buddha statues of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The reason is mainly that the Buddha statues of the previous dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties are mostly stone Buddhas, and they exist in the form of grottoes, which is really not easy to buy. The Buddha statues buried in the Ming and Qing dynasties are mostly gold and bronze Buddha statues, which are divided into palace statues and border Tibetan folk statues.

Among them, the palace Buddha statue is more favored by everyone. After all, as we all know, if there is anything stained with "royal blood", the quality will definitely not be much to say, and the price of good things will definitely not be cheap.

This is also understandable, the things used by the emperor are all made at the expense of work, especially in the heyday of national power in the Yongxuan era, and the things made are naturally more perfect. If you have money, everyone must pursue quality, it doesn't matter if things are expensive, the main thing is that they are worth the money.

In this case, the exquisite Buddha statue in front of him is naturally remembered. Noticing the demeanor of others, Wang Guan was clear in his heart, knowing that if the Buddha statue was auctioned, there would definitely be many people rushing to rob it.

Of course, the premise is that the thing is true. After all, this is just a platform, and the organizers can't be 100% sure that something will be genuine. Otherwise, the people would not have brought the appraiser with them.

At this time, I don't know whose instruction it was, anyway, a middle-aged man walked out, and after a slight gesture to everyone, he began to appreciate this Buddha statue. First weigh the weight, and then analyze the gold plating process. Finally, check the inscription. Anyway, after watching it for a few minutes, I immediately walked back to report the situation to the boss.

The boss is also a shrewd man, and after listening to the report, he remained silent on the surface, and even chose to leave at the first time, not knowing whether he was sure that the thing was a fake, or if he planned to play tricks on the mystery in order to confuse everyone's judgment.

Don't think it's strange that the so-called shopping malls are like battlefields, and which of these bosses and rich people is not experienced in a hundred battles. has today's net worth. Since it is a competitor now, it is natural to play some small tricks. I don't expect to be able to deceive everyone, as long as someone doubts it, it is considered a success.

And from the flashing eyes of some people, I knew that the boss's purpose had been achieved, and if someone really wavered, he left with a little hesitation. Anyway, there are a lot of things in the hall, and it doesn't have to be limited to this Buddha statue.

"What do you think?"

At this time, Elder Fang turned around and asked, "Do you think things are real or fake?" ”

"Uh......"

Timely. Wang Guancai reacted, he is now an appraiser, and everyone else's appraisals have gone up to appreciate it, so what's the matter if he stands still?

Present. Under the reminder of Elder Fang, Wang Guan also stepped forward to watch with the crowd.

It should be noted that Wang Guan is no stranger to the Buddha statues in the Ming and Qing courts. Because in the collection of the master of Mid-Levels. There are several Ming and Qing court Buddha statues. Based on his relationship with the Master of Mid-Levels, he had already borrowed a few Buddha statues to study thoroughly.

Speaking of which, in the Yongle years. The royal family paid special attention to strengthening ties with the upper echelons of Tibet. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it continued to follow the policy of the Yuan Dynasty and gave Lamaism preferential courtesy. After Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, he continuously strengthened the direct contact between the central government and the upper and upper Tibetan lamas, and formed a more perfect institutional arrangement and ruling order.

It is an indisputable fact that the Yongle Emperor tried to win over the Tibetan monks in the name of advocating Tibetan Buddhism, among which the gold and bronze Buddha statues were given as valuable gifts to the Tibetan monks.

That is to say, the Buddha statues of the Yongxuan period perfectly integrated the Sino-Tibetan art, forming a relatively unique artistic style, graceful and elegant, rich and gentle. And it is for this reason that the Buddha statues in the Yongxuan period are even more important. Because the Buddha statues of this period not only have artistic value, but also have deep cultural value.

Sometimes, cultural and economic values are also mutually reinforcing, and the two are inextricably linked. After all, with the continuous maturity of the Buddha statue market, buyers have gradually returned to the painting art and sculpture art of the Buddha statue itself, and paid more attention to the profound religious spiritual connotation of the Buddha statue.

After a while, Wang Guan finished appreciating and retreated, and Elder Fang asked casually, "How is it?" ”

“…… Half-truths. Wang Guan groaned and said in a low voice: "The upper body is true, but the base is connected to the back, not only the material does not match, but the weight is even more wrong." ”

"Huh?"

Old Fang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed: "You talk about it carefully." ”

"The face of the Buddha statue is plump and upright, the square face is wide and the forehead is wide, the eyes are straight, the eyebrows and eyes are slender, and the expression is quiet. The body has broad shoulders and a thin waist, thick limbs, smooth clothing lines, and a strong texture. Of course, the most important thing is the material, which is made of brass, which is cast as a whole and has a thicker carcass. Gold-plated, pure gold and brilliant colors. ”

Wang Guan carefully commented: "These characteristics are enough to show that the upper part of the Buddha statue is genuine. However, there are some problems with the base, such as the stiff shape of the lotus, the soft lines, and the thickness of the wall of the vessel. ”

"As far as I know, the genuine base, after the cover is tightly sealed, generally has to seal the gap around the bottom cover with sealing wax mixed with cinnabar, but I just paid attention to it, but I didn't find this trace."

Wang Guan shook his head and said: "And I mentioned it slightly just now, and found that the weight was not as pressed as I imagined, and even a little swaying." You must know that the base must be calm enough, so that it can suppress the aura. But now the base is lighter than the statue, which is impossible, and the ancient craftsmen would certainly not make such a low-level mistake. ”

"Somewhat."

At the right time, Fang Lao nodded lightly: "So you suspect that the original base of the Buddha statue has been destroyed, but someone has reconnected it in order to maximize profits?" ”

"That's right." Wang Guan affirmed, after all, the Buddha statue with a pedestal is a whole, and the price is definitely higher in comparison. In order to make an extra amount of money, it is also normal to help pick up a foundation.

Of course, such tricks are not new, and they are even flooded. The old tire has a new bottom, the old bottom has a new tire, that is the most common method of cheating. At the same time, Wang Guan also understood why some people turned around and left immediately after hearing the appraiser's report.

At this time, Elder Fang's reaction was similar, and after shaking his head slightly, he also beckoned Wang Guan to leave.

"It's a pity."

After walking away a few steps, Fang Lao sighed lightly: "It's a good thing, but it was actually ruined by someone." ”

"Huh!"

For a moment, Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, but he heard Fang Lao's voice: "Do you always suspect that the base of the Buddha statue is not naturally destroyed, but artificially cut so that it can be spliced together with other statues?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, that's true." Elder Fang nodded and said, "Maybe at this time next year, another Buddha statue with a very real base and a fake upper body will be placed in the same position." ”

As soon as Wang Guan heard this, he knew that this was an empirical statement, and naturally he would not have any doubts. After all, in order to make money, some people can be said to do everything they can, splitting and merging, at least half-truths and half-truths, which is relatively kind. At most, it must be a fake fake, and that is the real pit man.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everything here is fake, there must be really good things as well. It's just that the fish and dragons are mixed, and if you want to pick out the real pearls among the fish eyes, it depends on the appraiser's eyesight.

However, Wang Guan did not forget the matter, and whispered: "How about we go and see the ceramics over there?" ”

"Absolutely."

Elder Fang nodded lightly and walked straight over.

Speaking of which, even if it is the high seas, it belongs to Southeast Asia. The organizers are also very understanding, but there are a lot of precious porcelain. Up to the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, down to the official kilns of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Hongxian porcelain, Zhushan Bayou porcelain plate paintings, etc., there are everything, and the collection is very rich.

In this case, it naturally attracts many onlookers. After getting closer, Wang Guan swept his eyes lightly, and found that most of the ceramic objects here were bottles of various shapes, and there were also many objects such as plates and bowls.

As for the color, it's colorful. Blue and white is definitely the mainstream, and there are not a few other colors, enamel colors, pastels, etc. Monochrome glazes such as sacrificial red, sacrificial blue, and delicate yellow, although very rare, also have one or two pieces. The most eye-catching are the two large vases more than one meter high, but they are cloisonne during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said responsibly that although the things here do not cover all the varieties of Chinese porcelain, there are many precious and valuable varieties. If this rich man had a lot of money and bought everything back here, it would be enough to hold a small treasure porcelain fair.

Of course, in addition to the amazement, everyone did not have much joy. The main reason is that it is not clear how many of these things are genuine and how many fakes are mixed in.

However, unlike other people, when Wang Guan saw these things, he first made a screening in his heart, dividing the ordinary precious things into two parts. Take 10 million as the standard, and if it is lower than this price, you don't need to look closely. higher than this price, it is worthy of his serious identification.

Mr. Zhu Da has a very high vision, and his appearance fee, or what he made, if it is too cheap, it is simply a slap in the face. Based on this reason, Wang Guan quickly locked in some porcelain, which was relatively expensive, and the production process was also difficult and challenging, which should be more in line with Mr. Zhu Da's taste.

When he was pondering, Wang Guan was not polite, let alone pretentious, and directly used his special ability to conduct the most thorough and authoritative investigation...... (To be continued......)
