Chapter 475: Such a Style
Lao Tan was stunned for a moment, "Boss Tang is so young, he dares to say such a thing?" You must know that there are hundreds of types of jade alone, and there are all kinds of colored pulp, all kinds of variety. To be honest, even if it is my own collection, there are a few pieces that are not very clear! β
"Old Tan, porcelain is more complicated than jade. This pen holder, there is no bottom, Tang Yi can see at a glance that it is Kangxi Minyao, it is really not an ordinary person! Mao Zhu said with a smile on the side.
Tang Yi didn't speak, glanced at Mao Zhu, and thought to himself, Lao Tan is very proficient in jade, but he is too obsessed, and it seems that he is already a little stunned mentally.
Lao Tan lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.
"Last time, Mao Zhu helped me sell an old red sandalwood bead of the Republic of China, and he refused to ask for it at all, so I made this friend. Today, Boss Tang also helped me a lot, not to mention eyesight, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, since Boss Tang is an expert, then let's go and see my collection together, I can't break it, and ask Boss Tang to help break it! β
Lao Tan seemed to have made up his mind, raised his head and said.
Tang Yi knew that if he hadn't boasted about Haikou and said that he could recognize any kind of jade, Lao Tan probably wouldn't let him come to the door.
He was also very curious, how much jade did Lao Tan collect? Moreover, judging from the topaz wrench in his hand, it is indeed a good thing, and this is still taken out of the door. And the one locked at home must be more interesting.
Lao Tan took the stall, and Tang Yi and Mao Zhu followed.
Lao Tan's home is not far from the antique street, it is a unit dormitory, but the buildings are very old, and it is about 30 years old.
"Old Tan, did you close the stall so early?" The doorman in the communication room said hello.
"Two friends are here! I'm going to play chess with you after dinner in the evening! Old Tan said with a smile.
"No, it doesn't. I'm on duty until six o'clock today, and the night shift is Da Li, and I have to go home early tonight, and my little grandson has a birthday! The doorman replied.
"Look at your busyness." Lao Tan walked into the courtyard, waved his hand very casually, and said to Tang Yi and Mao Zhu, "This is the old dormitory of the Qunyi Pavilion, and I retired from the Qunyi Pavilion." I always want to save more money, and I don't have any other skills, so I go to the nearby antique street to set up a stall. β
Mao Chai said, "Last time, I wanted to say that although this courtyard is old, it is well greened, and it is lived by acquaintances, and there is a communication room, which is safe!" β
Tang Yi asked, "Then when did you start collecting jade?" β
"That's early. When the educated youth went to the countryside, I used a pen in a village in the northwest to exchange an agate pendant tied around the neck of a cat, which was very beautiful, a boutique in the Liaojin period! It's a pity, my wife stole it to change rice, and I didn't talk to her for two days for this! β
Lao Tan took the two of them into a building hole, and when they went upstairs, the cement stairs were already a little mottled.
Educated youth go to the countryside? Tang Yi secretly thought, that Lao Tan is more than sixty years old, it seems that Mao Zhu's guess is wrong.
The highest building is five floors, one ladder and three households, and Lao Tan lives in the middle of the five floors.
As soon as he entered the door, Tang Yi found that this was a one-bedroom house, only about fifty square meters, the doors of the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom were open, except for the kitchen and bathroom, the living room and bedroom were full of boxes, cabinets and Bogu shelves.
It is said that the Bogu shelf is good, it is simply a grocery shelf. On the Bogu shelf in the living room, there is everything, porcelain, bronze, wood, miscellaneous pieces, but there is no jade.
"The living room is full of things that I set up to sell, and the jade is all in the bedroom. You're welcome, just go inside. Lao Tan said as he put the things he brought back together.
Tang Yi walked to the door of the bedroom, and then noticed that the Bogu shelves in the bedroom were basically all small boxes, only two small shelves with two jade plaques hanging on them, the white jade Guanyin Topaz Buddha, although they were all Hetian jade, but the year was not old, and the craftsmanship within nearly thirty years.
"These two jade plates are used to keep you safe, and they are not worth anything." Lao Tan had already put his things away and took off his coat at this time.
"Not worth anything?" Mao Zhu shouted, "These two brands, just the material money will top a senior white-collar worker for a year!" β
Lao Tan smiled, "It's just a piece of money, modern jade, what's the point?" β
Then, Lao Tan asked Tang Yi and Mao Zhu to sit directly on the bed, but they both felt that the pants outside and the bed they were sleeping on were not very clean, so they both said, "Just stand." β
Lao Tan took a look, took two ponies from the living room, and put them on the edge of a big box, "Sit, stand and see that it is easy to drop things." β
"Boss Tang, I'll show you two things that I can't get for sure." Lao Tan said, and took a brocade box from the Bogu shelf.
"Old Tan, in this way, I call you Lao Tan, can you call me Xiao Tang?" Tang Yi listened to "Boss Tang" all the way, and he was uncomfortable.
"Okay, Don Jr.!" Lao Tan put the two brocade boxes on a large wooden box, used them as a table, first opened a larger brocade box, and took out a jade piece seven or eight centimeters long.
This is a dragon's head jade with a hook, green and white jade, the dragon's head is round and smart, the shape is smooth and concise, and the pulp is moist.
The jade belt hook is a typical utility, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to our belt, the clothing of the ancients is different from today, and the belt will naturally not be the same.
The history of jade belt hooks is very long, but a large number of them appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so the most common jade belt hooks on the market are the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is conceivable that this thing is a jade piece that has been handed down to the world, who does not tie a belt, the poor can be fooled, but if you have a little money and a little identity, then buy a jade belt hook.
"I bought it in the early eighties of the last century, when I had eight yuan left on me, and the man had to ask for ten yuan, and I bargained, but he wouldn't let me, and finally I gave him the fritters I just bought in the morning." Lao Tan muttered two sentences on the side.
"This jade belt hook, how did you break the dynasty?" Tang Yi took the jade belt hook, and he already had a plan in his heart.
"When I first looked at the Qing Dynasty, the jade belt hook was nothing more than a dragon's head, a beast's head and a bird's head, of which the dragon head was the most and the bird head was the least. This hook has a hand-me-down pulp, excellent craftsmanship but concise, much like the Qing Dynasty Kangxi to the Yongzheng Dynasty. The modeling, there is a bit of Han style, and all dynasties and generations after the Han Dynasty have effectively imitated. Lao Tan said.
"You have specifically judged Kangxi Yongzheng, and you still can't say that you can't get it?" Tang Yi replied.
"I've been skeptical again in the past few years. In the Qing Dynasty, jade could be finely made or dignified and generous, but this dragon-headed dragon shape was not only beautiful, but also seemed to give people an indescribable feeling, which was very delicate and a little tiredγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Lao Tan groaned, but couldn't find a suitable word to describe this feeling.
"Style!" Tang Yi said with a smile.
"That's right! Style! Lao Tan slapped his thigh, "I know!" How could the Qing Dynasty have such a style! β
