Chapter 165 [Treasure Appreciation]
At the recording site, with the sound of a simple and elegant guzheng sounded, the tall and beautiful Xu Rujun and a male host in a suit walked out of the backstage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The lights gradually turned on, and the audience's attention was focused on Xu Rujun, the head of Luzhou TV Station, the male host is also a veteran host of the TV station, but standing next to Xu Rujun is a little overshadowed.
"Audience, welcome to the scene of the Baoxing World program held by Luzhou TV Station. Hello everyone, I'm the host Xu Rujun. ”
"I'm the host Hou Lei."
Xu Rujun and Hou Lei are both experienced hosts, and they have no stage fright when they stand in front of so many cameras, and they quickly entered the state.
"Ru Jun, do you know what an antique is?"
"I know, antiques, playing is culture, culture seems to be imaginary, but sometimes it can overcome the limitations of many objective conditions to achieve intellectual satisfaction. An anecdote, a piece of evidence, a form of beauty. ”
"That's right, this is how our treasure show is in the world, showing you antiques and telling stories. Take you to relive the memory of Chinese civilization and broaden your vision of traditional culture. ”
On the stage, the two hosts sang and read the opening remarks, and then began to introduce the guest group invited to the show and several antique experts on the expert appraisal table.
Antiques are generally divided into six categories, porcelain, jade, miscellaneous, furniture, calligraphy and painting, and bronze.
In fact, many antique collectors do not collect all kinds of antiques, but specifically pick one or two types of antiques to collect. For unfamiliar types, they generally don't shoot, otherwise there is a high chance that they will have to take medicine.
The same is true for expert identification.
Specialists who specialize in the art industry and are well-known in miscellaneous fields may not know anything about porcelain and calligraphy and painting. Therefore, not all experts are decathloners, as long as they are antiques, they can be identified, which is impossible.
Like Zhu Tao on the expert appraisal table, he is only good at miscellaneous and porcelain appraisal, and his eyes are black for calligraphy, painting and jade.
Qin Fan noticed that the members of the guest group invited by the show were all well-known folk collectors in Luzhou. Among them, there are many star entrepreneurs and successful people, and almost all of them are worth a lot of money.
This is not because of the snobbery of the TV station, but because if there is not enough financial support, it is still difficult to make a name for itself in the field of antique collection.
The antique market is flooded with a large number of antique fakes, and genuine ones are extremely rare and rare. It's not for nothing that you want to make a fortune by picking up leaks, but it's just a rare existence.
Qin Fan was arranged to sit in the second row of the guest seat, and when these guests present saw this young man, they were all a little surprised. Because Qin Fan is really young, he looks like he is only in his early twenties, younger than their sons.
These guests couldn't help but wonder in their hearts whether Qin Fan was a relative of a certain TV station leader and was shoehorned in.
Qin Fan ignored the surprised and questioning gazes of these people, he just came to show his face this time and increase his knowledge by the way.
"Now let's invite the first treasure bearer to play."
Xu Rujun's sweet voice sounded, and I saw a small door behind the two hosts slowly open, and a young girl who looked like a college student walked out with a box in her hand.
"Could you please introduce yourself and the baby you brought with you today?"
"Good host. My name is Liu Fei, and the treasure I brought today is a string of pearls from the Qing Dynasty. With that, the young girl opened the box in her hand and took out a string of pearls of exquisite workmanship.
Qin Fan saw that in addition to pearls, this string of pearls was also equipped with turquoise, tourmaline and jadeite, which looked very exquisite.
Women are born to like jewelry, and when they saw this string of pearls, Xu Rujun's eyes also lit up.
"What a beautiful string of pearls, is this thing from your ancestors?"
"Not really. I bought this string of pearls when I was studying abroad. I was wandering around the block with a friend and noticed a small antique shop in the alley. After we went in and looked around, the shopkeeper talked to us and said that he had a few treasures in his possession and wanted to show them to us. ”
What he took out was a jade pendant, a snuffbox, and this string of pearls. I was very fond of jewelry, and immediately fell in love with this string of pearls, and the shopkeeper sold it to me under our soft grinding and hard foaming. ”
"The shopkeeper said that this string of pearls is from the late Qing Dynasty, so I want to ask an expert to identify it for me to see if it is from the Qing Dynasty."
Every antique has a story behind it, and as for the authenticity of the story, it is the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise.
This string of pearls suspected to be from the Qing Dynasty belongs to miscellaneous, and it should be identified by Zhu Tao.
However, according to the process of the program, the guest group must give their opinions before the experts conduct the appraisal. Generally speaking, the opinions given by the guests are extremely brief, one or two sentences are passed, and it is enough to show your face in front of the TV.
"I don't know what the guests think of this string of pearls, but now we will ask a guest to share his opinion."
Xu Rujun glanced at the guest seat, his eyes suddenly fell on Qin Fan in the back row, and said with a smile, "Please tell this gentleman in the back row your opinion." ”
Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect his luck to be so good, and he showed his face not long after the show started.
"Hmph, look at how you kid looks foreign." Zhu Tao sneered in his heart, planning to slap him in the face in the next expert appraisal session, and make him embarrassed in front of the TV.
"Ahem, then I'll talk about it."
Since it was Qin Fan's first time on TV, he couldn't help but be a little nervous when he saw the camera at the recording site.
"Let's start with the pearls, the pearls are a kind of ornament like the ancient jade pendants, and the Buddhist beads have an interest and meaning of the inheritance. Because the emperor of the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism, all queens, princes and ministers, civil officials and military officials above the fifth rank must wear court beads when wearing court clothes according to the regulations. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, the main role of the pearl was a symbol of the powerful. ”
"In the Qing system, the wearing of pearls was strictly hierarchical. Dongzhu Chaozhu is dedicated to the emperor and queen. The kings and ministers of the first rank wore coral pearls. Miscellaneous treasure pearls can be worn above the fifth grade of civil service and four grades of martial arts. ”
The emperor also has regulations on wearing the pearls on different occasions, wearing the East Pearl during the ceremony, using amber pearls when worshipping the heavens at the Temple of Heaven, wearing coral pearls when worshipping the sun at the altar of the sun, and wearing turquoise pearls when worshipping the moon at the altar of the moon.
The jade pearl began in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and reached its peak in the Guangxu period. But nowadays, complete jadeite pearls are extremely rare, but the number of jadeite pearls as accessories is very large.
On the stage, Xu Rujun watched Qin Fan in a daze and said his knowledge about the Qing Dynasty Chaozhu, as if he had forgotten to continue to host the show.
"Host, could you please let me get started with this string of pearls."
Xu Rujun reacted, walked to the guest seat with this string of pearls, and carefully handed it over to Qin Fan.
"Let's take a look at the pearls on this string of pearls, there were no cultured pearls in the world during the Qing Dynasty. It is not easy for natural pearls to form a symmetrical circle, and if you look closely at these pearls, almost none of them can reach 100% roundness. And the luster of each pearl is also different, some are yellowish and some are white. ”
"In addition, things that are born in water, such as pearls, are particularly afraid of dry air, and over time there will be a layer of cracks on the surface. Therefore, old pearls, no matter how well they are preserved, will have small cracks. ”
After Qin Fan said this, the guests and the audience at the scene looked at the string of pearls with wide eyes, and sure enough, they saw some cracks on it.
"And the pearl on this is the east pearl of the Qing Dynasty, which is very precious."
During the Qing Dynasty, wild pearls produced in the Songhua River, Heilongjiang, Ussuri River and Yalu River basins in Northeast China were generally called Dongzhu.
Because of its large and round texture, crystal clear color, and hard to obtain, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty regarded the pearl as a treasure and used it to be inlaid on ornaments that symbolized power.
"This string of pearls with tourmaline jade pearls, precious materials, exquisite workmanship, very well preserved, should be the late Qing Dynasty pearls undoubtedly. As for the current market price, it is about 600,000 yuan. ”
Qin Fan finished identifying this string of pearls in one go, returned it to Xu Rujun, and glanced at Zhu Tao with a smile.
The guests looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes. They originally thought that this young man was inserted by the TV station to make up the numbers, what kind of eyesight and insight can a half-grown child with no hair grow up?
However, at this time, they found that they were wrong.
"The guests on the scene have already given their appraisal opinions, let's take a look at what the expert group has to say." Xu Rujun turned to the side of the expert group and gave Zhu Tao a close-up.
However, at this time, Zhu Tao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't help but swear words.
Identification? After Qin Fan finished speaking, this is still a hair. Do you want to repeat what Qin Fan just said? He doesn't want this old face anymore.
Zhu Tao originally wanted to catch his mistakes and omissions and embarrass him in public. But he didn't expect Qin Fan to make a preemptive move, so that he couldn't even say his opinion on the appraisal.
This kid must have a heart, it's just bad.
Zhu Taoqi's nostrils smoked, as disgusting as eating flies. But in front of the camera, I still have to squeeze out a smiling face, depressed and want to vomit blood.
"This string of pearls is indeed something in the late Qing Dynasty, worth about 600,000 yuan."
At this time, Zhu Tao was not in the mood to appraise any more, so he could only hope that he could perform well when he appraised the next collection, and don't let Qin Fan's kid steal the limelight.
However, Qin Fan would not give him such a chance, as long as he was today, Zhu Tao would want to make a good identification.
