Wu Chen was worried for the next day, and on Saturday morning, when he received a call from Kong Si, he remembered that he had made an appointment to consult Tian Lao last week, and took out a computer liner bag from the locked suitcase under the bed. Earlier, he had put the black tokens, blueprints, and seals inside.

The black token is too weird, he doesn't plan to show it to others before there is no clue, he has seen the drawings a few times, the drawings on it are relatively simple, in line with the ancient marching array map or the mountain and river trend map, he has already remembered it, and immediately took out the stone seal, washed it again, took a few newspapers and wrapped it, put it in a small bag, and went out, he made an appointment with Kong Si to go directly to Tian Lao to meet.

When I arrived at Mr. Tian's house, it was nearly noon, and Kong Si happened to arrive. When the two entered the door, they happened to meet the aunt who came to help, and looking at her strange eyes, it seemed that both of them had come to eat.

Tian Lao is sitting in a rocking chair under the vine trellis playing with two walnuts, this is originally a northern thing, southerners rarely play, Tian Lao has also been abroad for many years, learned to play this, there is nothing to do with the two and let go of the hand to play, but also to relax the meridian and invigorate the blood. Seeing the arrival of the two, he greeted the two with a smile and followed them into the hall.

Wu Chen took out the seal, opened the wrapped newspaper, and put it on the table, the yellow, orange and orange stones looked particularly dazzling on the black and white newspaper, which was also partly due to Wu Chen's several wipes.

Old man Tian was still an old god in a half-confused eye, last time Kong Si called him and said that Xiao Wu didn't know where to get a Tian Huangshi seal, which was engraved with a few seal characters of Wenwenshan, and he laughed when he heard it, this world, not to mention Tian Huang everywhere, is the strange thing of "Western Han Dynasty Dading". At that time, he scolded on the phone, Xiao Wu has not been in the industry for a long time, you Kong Si has been walking the streets and alleys for several years, how can you still believe this.

But I heard Kong Si insist that Xiao Wu is very persistent, so let him take it and take a look, young man, he finally picked up a "leak", and his mood is easy to understand. Later, he said that Xiao Wu was going to the capital to report, and he put this matter down, and didn't go to his heart, yesterday he talked to Kong Si about picking up leaks, thinking of Wu Chen's matter, Kong Si pouted whether to let Wu Chen bring him over today to see, it doesn't matter what the old man Tian is, no matter what the things are, Xiao Wu, this kid he still likes, he has a good understanding, he is honest, and he has a good attitude, unlike Kong Si, who is a torturer, when he has something to ask for himself, it is good to say, when he has nothing to ask for himself, he often pushes himself up with a sentence, and sooner or later he will have a heart attack!

"Good stuff!" Now there is really a glance at the things on the table, could it be that Wu Chen's baby has really found a treasure? Tian Lao was a little excited in his heart, with a little doubt to pick up the seal, he felt that the feel was excellent, the texture was delicate, the surface was smooth, the fat was warm and tender, and then looked at its color, it was an extremely rare golden color, faintly pearly luster, look at the sunny place, and the stone faintly showed the fine texture of radish skin.

The more Tian Lao looked, the more surprised he became, his hands were a little shaky, and he didn't greet them, he walked into the room quickly, brought tools, and looked at them carefully.

Kong Si had just finished boiling water at the moment, and when he saw Tian Lao's appearance, he knew that the old man had a spectrum, he had never seen the old man so excited in all these years, looking at the way he was walking like flying, and he didn't know how to run away after a robbery! Kong Si also leaned over to inspect after brewing tea. Wu Chen had no doubts about the stone quality and age, mainly because he wanted to know the origin of the Dao, and he also knew that the Dao Tianhuang was very valuable, but this seal stone was hidden with the map, which should be related, and the secret in it made him worry even more.

"What a rarity!" After a long time, Tian Lao was a little reluctant to put down the seal in his hand, he can now be sure that this is a piece of Tian Huang, not to mention, I have never seen Tian Huang in such a good condition for so many years! So perfect that he could basically determine that there was no suspicion of fraud.

"How? It's Tian Huang, right? Although Kong Si also had a judgment in his heart, he still wanted to hear the old man personally confirm that he had been running on the street all these years, but he had not seen the so-called Tianhuang, Shoushan Hibiscus Stone or something, all over the street, cheap dozens of yuan, but none of them were so good-looking, from the inside to the outside with a bright golden yellow, and the strong light seemed to be shrouded in a layer of golden light! Where is this comparable to those dull-colored counterfeits!

"Silver wrapped in gold field yellow jelly!" Old Man Tian said excitedly, "The texture is psychic, magnificent and fat, the best of the best!" ”

"What jelly?" Wu Chen saw that the old man was too excited, afraid that he would not be able to hold his breath, this situation is the same as a person who drinks a lot, he must be allowed to speak, and he really doesn't know what is frozen, to say that he has learned a lot about jade or jade during this time, but he really doesn't know much about stones. Kong Si handed over a cup of Pu'er, and also looked at Tian Lao with a blank eye, in fact, he knew much more than Wu Chen, but his mind was the same.

Tian Lao took a sip of tea, calmed down his mood, and knew that Wu Chen was a rookie, and he had the heart to teach him some systematic things, and after thinking about it, he said slowly: "If you want to say that the stone of this seal, the four famous seal stones are Shoushan, Qingtian, Changhua, and Bahrain, and there is a saying that Tian Huang is the king and chicken blood is the queen." Tianhuang is the best in Shoushan stone, and chicken blood is the most famous in Changhua, Zhejiang and Inner Mongolia and Bahrain. The stones in each place are self-contained, and they are only afraid that it will take too much time to talk about them one by one, just talk about the Shoushan stone of Tianhuang in front of them. ”

Seeing that Tian Lao had calmed down a lot, Kong Si refilled some tea into his cup, and sat down with Wu Chen as seriously as a good student. Mr. Tian was very satisfied, organized some ideas, and said: "Shoushan stone is named because it is produced in Shoushan Township in northern Fuzhou, and its development age is the oldest, so far it has been more than 1,500 years. More than 100 Shoushan stone figurines have been excavated in the ancient tombs of the Song Dynasty, but when it comes to stone carvings and seal stone carvings, they were only developed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is also where I am puzzled. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Lao frowned slightly, thought about it and continued: "I'll talk about this later." Fuzhou from the Jiajing period there appeared a private seal stone shop, such as Qingzhitian and other names, now the treasures that circulate have Li Zhen two Shoushan stone seals, yin, yang two kinds of knife techniques are quite charming, especially the shape of the lion sitting in the new year is very majestic.

The theory is also the most mature, in the Qing Dynasty Gao Zhao's "Guanshi Lu" there are more than 140 seals for appreciation and evaluation, divided into three categories: gods, wonderful products, and excellent products; Mao Qiling's "Houguan Stone Record" divides Shoushan stone into three types according to its origin and quality: field pit first, water pit second, and mountain pit second.

Now with the expansion of the development of Shoushan stone and new discoveries, more than 100 varieties of Shoushan stone are generally divided into five categories: in addition to the previous three pits, there are also Yueyang series produced in Yueyang Township, mainly various colors of hibiscus stone, and the flag descending system that produces the flag descending mountain, mainly all kinds of flag descending stone, flag descending, enthalpy red and so on. ”

Tian Huangshi is the best of Tiankeng in Shoushan Stone, and is known as the "King of Printing Stone". What is Tian Huang called? To put it simply, it is a yellow-colored stone found in a rice field. However, not all the yellowstones in the fields are counted, only the sand layer under the narrow paddy field of less than two square kilometers on both sides of a stream in Shoushan Village is available. There are many varieties of Tianhuang stone, and the common high-quality ones are loquat yellow, osmanthus yellow, orange peel yellow, etc., but the most noble is such a golden yellow, which is extremely rare. If the inside is white and translucent, and the outside is yellow, it is called "gold and silver", and it is also a famous product. Like this piece of golden yellow throughout, there is a pearl luster outside, the stone meat is delicate, and there is a jelly, it is really the legendary silver wrapped in Jintian yellow jelly, the best of the best! ”

Seeing that the old man was happy, Kong Si interrupted him to let him have time to drink water, and interjected: "Speaking of this Tian Huang, although the amount is not much, there are quite a lot of folk legends. It is said that once, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang passed by Shoushan Township before he became emperor, that is, he was not a successful person, he could only be regarded as a poor dick on the road of struggle, poor, covered with scabies, hiding in the Shoushan quarry cave at night, and at dawn he was actually healed. There is also the super rich second-generation Qianlong Lord, every time he sacrifices to the sky, Tian Huangshi will be placed in the center of the case, symbolizing blessing, longevity, and Tian, and there is more than auspiciousness. ”

"Hehe, these folk legends, whether they are true or not, but Tian Huang began to use them in the Ming Dynasty, and it is true that when Qianlong Ye was at his peak, many things almost reached their peak in the hands of Qianlong Ye, such as jade, Tian Huang and the famous porcelain of the Qing Dynasty. This Tian Huang because of the meaning of "Fu", "Shou", "Tian" and "Huang", and has the six virtues of fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm and condensed stone, so it is called "Emperor Stone", and has become the national stone dedicated to the Qing Dynasty.

According to the records in the history books: the governor of Fujian carved the "three chapters" with a whole piece of high-grade Tianhuang, which Qianlong regarded as a treasure after seeing it, and the Qing family passed it down from generation to generation; When Emperor Xianfeng was dying, he also gave Cixi a side of the Tianhuang Imperial Seal; By the dissolution of the last dynasty, Pu Yi didn't want all the treasures when he fled for his life, and only sewed the "Three Consecutive Chapters" in his cotton clothes.

As for folk legends, some say that Tian Huang Shi is a gem left in the world when Nuwa mends the sky, and it is said that it is changed by the phoenix bird egg, and it is also said that Tian Huang can drive away disasters and avoid evil, and those who hide Tian Huang can prolong their lives, etc., which have cast a lot of mystery on Tian Huang, which is not enough to believe, but Tian Huang has indeed been a treasure that collectors dream of. ”

"Old man, I had a piece of Tianhuang carving in my early years, but the texture is much inferior to this one." After the old man Tian finished speaking, he picked up the seal and played with it in his hand, and his preference was overflowing.

"Is it possible that it is a fraud? I've always thought this piece was perfect, didn't you always say that it's important to have a collection intuition, hehe. Not to mention Panjiayuan, even now Hualin Temple is full of Shoushan stones, and there are not a few people known as Tian Huang, and you can get a piece for dozens of dollars. "Kong Si is different from Wu Chen, he often asks Tian Lao for advice, how can he poke the itch of the old man, and besides, he is questioning Tian Lao, after all, the old man has already made up his mind just now.

Sure enough, when Tian Lao heard this, he glared at him very dissatisfied, and said, "Can this be compared?" This Tianhuangshi was split from the mother mine, and then buried in the field, during which it went through millions of years, under special environment and special conditions, Tianhuangshi gradually changed its original shape, color and texture, and appeared its unique appearance characteristics. To sum up, it is mainly manifested in six aspects: stone shape, stone quality, stone color, stone skin, radish pattern, and red tendon. This square seal stone, like a lump of mutton fat oil, is the best at first glance, and the fakes you told you are not the same thing at all. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Kong Si unsatisfactorily, and said: "I know that there are a lot of 'strange stones' in your kid, hehe, you don't have to blush, do you buy and sell in a small book, when the price of handicrafts is not sold, and you can't fool people, there are really people who think that hundreds of thousands of yuan can buy a piece of Tianhuang, that's his problem, not your problem." ”
