Chapter 0398: Strange Stone Exhibition
Two days later, at eight o'clock in the morning Hong Kong time, Zhang Lao first received a call from the organizer, saying that the strange stone exhibition would start today, and when Zhang Lao and Liu Fen dressed up and went downstairs with Chu Nan, Chu Nan had already seen the young man who drove to pick them up at the airport two days ago.
"Elder Zhang, can I go over now?"
"Of course."
Get into that little car and drive to an exhibition center not far from the hotel.
This exhibition center was originally a gymnasium.
This is similar to the situation of the Red Stadium, which is actually a sports hall, but because Hong Kong is so small and crowded, many of the stadiums that were originally used for sports are used for other events.
For example, the Red Pavilion is like that.
Now this gymnasium doesn't look very big on the outside, but when Chu Nan and Zhang Lao came here by car, they found that there were already many Hong Kong citizens and tourists queuing outside the door, ready to go inside.
Because there are too many people, it may be necessary to control the number of people at that time so that nothing else happens in there.
Now if you enter from the main entrance, you will definitely not be able to enter.
Therefore, Chu Nan and Zhang Lao came to the back door and entered through the small door of the back door.
Of course, at the beginning of the exhibition, there must be a speech, and Zhang Lao will also make a speech when he arrives, so he was called to the other side by the young man.
Chu Nan and Liu Fen had nothing else to do, but they could take a look at the situation of various strange stones in the exhibition center.
In fact, in Zhang's hometown, Zhang Lao has collected so many strange stones in the study, Liu Fen may not have anything to look at once or twice, but when he can see them tomorrow, he may feel very ordinary.
Moreover, she couldn't figure out what value she had for those strange stones, what kind of artistic sense she had.
However, the main reason why I came to Hong Kong with my wife now is because I feel that I have been depressed for too long on Kim Dae's side, so I just want to come and have a look.
In fact, now that Chu Nan is standing there, he can see it very clearly, and besides, what he can't see clearly can also be seen very clearly when he looks at it with the eye of heaven.
However, Chu Nan's understanding of strange stones, except for a brief check on the Internet, he really didn't know about those strange stones.
However, now that he came here, he didn't expect to see all kinds of strange stones.
In addition to those from the mainland, there are also strange stones from Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Japan, and the value of all aspects is not marked, so he doesn't know very well.
When the exhibition officially started at 8:30, and the hosts above began to let several people and celebrities in the strange stone world start to briefly express their words, Chu Nan and Liu Fen sat there and listened for a while, and heard Zhang Lao go up to speak.
Zhang Lao didn't say much, just a few minutes.
The main thing here is not like those mainland officials holding a meeting, one small matter, the other party also has to talk about a few small things.
And now it is a strange stone exhibition, mainly for citizens and tourists to watch, when you see those strange stones, is your favorite, or think there is a collection value, and then wait until three days later, after the exhibition, will be auctioned at the largest auction in Hong Kong.
Therefore, now Zhang Lao didn't say much, he just finished talking about it, and then briefly mentioned Chu Nan's immediate strange stone.
In this way, it will naturally make other citizens and tourists pay more attention to those two strange stones.
When Mr. Zhang came down from above, many people still wanted Mr. Zhang's autograph.
Because Zhang Lao is very famous in the jade carving world and the strange stone world, he has published a lot of books on this aspect. Therefore, some book lovers now come over with those books to sign for Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Lao signed more than a dozen, and then said to those book fans.
"I still have to go with my wife, and I will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face again in the future."
After Elder Zhang came over, he looked at Chu Nan and asked.
"Chu Nan, do you know about strange stones?"
"Just to understand something, it should be about the natural world, as long as it is a variety of stones that make people feel valuable, they should be called strange stones."
"You're saying that's too general. However, that's probably what it means. In the past, when the domestic strange stone market had not yet risen, there were all kinds of strange stones by the river, high mountains, Gobi Desert, and seaside, but at that time, those people did not know much, even if there was a strange stone worth millions under their feet, they did not know, and just ignored them as garbage. ”
"Nowadays, the strange stone market has attracted the attention of many citizens, but because there are too many people, it is difficult to find valuable strange stones."
"Therefore, strange stones, refers to the natural formation of the shape of the stone is not ordinary, its material, shape, color and pattern are unusual, can meet people's curiosity or aesthetic habits, can be viewed and collected, such as the four major domestic strange stones: "Dongpo flesh-shaped stone", "years", "Chinese eagle", "chicken out of the shell".
"Strange stone in the history of our country is also known as strange stone, elegant stone, for the stone, case stone, several stones, play stone, clever stone, ugly stone, interesting stone, rare stone, different stone, lonely stone, etc., Taiwan and Hong Kong and Macao called Ya stone, Japan called water stone, in South Korea called longevity stone. Broadly speaking, all natural stones with ornamental value can be called strange stones. ”……
Chu Nan found that Zhang Lao was very interesting, and almost when he took him to see the strange stones at the exhibition, he would introduce him to the value of those strange stones and what was good about them, and even introduce the basic knowledge of some strange stones to him.
At first, he was just listening, but later, more and more Hong Kong citizens and tourists were watching and listening.
"Elder Zhang, is this your son?"
Seeing that Zhang Lao was so enthusiastic to introduce Chu Nan, he thought that Chu Nan was the other party's son.
"Hehe, this is my student."
When the others heard this, they looked at Chu Nan with some envy.
I feel that Chu Nan and Zhang Lao are so familiar, and they must have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
Chu Nan didn't know what those people thought, but when he saw that Zhang Lao was so serious about introducing him, he didn't say anything. In fact, Chu Nan was only interested in jade, because in addition to the value of jade, it was also related to his heavenly eye.
And these strange stones may also be very valuable, but when Chu Nan looked at the past with the eye of heaven, he did not have the nature of jade, and he could enjoy the kind of jade protons.
However, out of politeness, Chu Nan naturally couldn't say anything else.
"There are five types of strange stones. The first category, natural landscape stones; the second category, garden stones; the third category, Panjing stone; the fourth category, stone craft; The fifth category, mainly indoor display layout or several case furnishings, independent ornamentation, natural formation as the element, small shape, can be moved, exquisite and chic, and equipped with plates, basins, seats, shelves, brocade boxes and other accessories, with high ornamental and collection value and cultural and artistic taste of stone artworks. ”……
At the beginning, Chu Nan really thought that strange stones could only be born and natural. In fact, the later processing can be regarded as a natural difference in value from natural stone.
