"Next is the display time for other players in the Bodhi category, whether it is Phoenix Eye or Bodhi Root, they can come to the stage, and we will also comment on the top three, and there will be prizes."

The phoenix-eyed bodhi is a kind of bodhi seed, which is the core of a fruit in India, the main production area in the hot land area, the flesh is edible, and the kernel is the phoenix-eyed bodhi seed.

At present, the better phoenix eye bodhi on the market are all produced in Nepal, and often enter the cultural and entertainment market in the following year. Tibetan often uses phoenix-eyed bodhi beads, which are fried in ghee and used to chant Buddha, which will have a miraculous effect in Buddhist concepts.

The phoenix eye Bodhi is the most prominent one in the Bodhi seed, because it has one or two deep textures, which looks like squinting eyes, and is called phoenix eyes. In Buddhist paintings, carvings, and embroidery, there are phoenix motifs to symbolize auspiciousness.

Nepal phoenix eye Bodhi has a natural phoenix eye, under the Bodhi tree, the Buddha attained enlightenment, began his life of hardships and hardships, purifying sentient beings. Save one person, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter. The phoenix-eyed Bodhi has a simple and delicate yellow-brown color, and each one has a beautiful and elegant eye on it. Let every problem turn into wisdom and bring deeper reflection and enlightenment.

The phoenix-eyed bodhi is one of the most revered Buddhist bead materials in Tibetan Buddhism, and it is also very popular in Han China today, because the phoenix eye is also a tree seed. Therefore, there is batch production every year, so if the diameter is about 1.2 cm, the diameter is not fake, because it is not worth the fraud, 108 a string of about 1.2 currency is 100 yuan.

A raw seed, that is, the phoenix eye is taken directly from the fruit, cleaned and punched, but no other processing has been done. It is generally yellow or yellowish-brown, and is approximately round or oval. The outer skin has a grooved gyrus, but it is not very deep and long, and in the center of the bead, there is a narrow eye-like protrusion, the length of which is approximately the transverse diameter of the bead.

Two Tibetan style, this half of this kind is processed into drum beads or barrel beads, that is, in the phoenix eye "poles" smoothed. The very thin ones are the pill beads, a slightly thicker abacus, and then a thick barrel beads and bulging beads. In addition to the primary color, this type of phoenix eye also has worn, dark red, brown and even black colors.

As for the origin, it is divided into Nepalese phoenix eye and domestic phoenix eye, which are very different in terms of skin color, density and finishing effect, not to mention the price. The real Nepalese phoenix eye grows at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters in the northern mountains, so no matter where you graft it in China, what will definitely come out cannot be the same.

The climate and geographical environment are much worse, and the small phoenix eye that came out of the first year of domestic production, all over the street said that their small phoenix eye is Nepalese, but people who buy it all year round know that Nepalese phoenix eye is above 1.1CM, and some small size phoenix eyes are domestic products grafted with other plants.

The cortex of Nepalese phoenix eye is the best and dense in all origins, and the density and cortex are the most critical factors that directly affect the final effect of the plate and the shell pulp, which is why only Nepalese phoenix eye can be read into a deep jujube red! The domestic and Indian phoenix eyes will be black, because only the Nepalese phoenix is the most authentic original species, and the rest of the region is the first to be vaccinated.

"Phoenix eyes? The year before last, a string of small phoenix eyes below 0.8 108 cost tens of thousands? It's insane! ”

Even Yu Hongfei is a little incredible, phoenix eyes were not a rare thing originally, a hundred yuan and a few catties in the early years, you can choose whatever you want. But it has also been stirred up for two years, especially Xiaofengyan, which is known as rare, and it is hundreds of them, which is really staggering.

"Below 11mm are fried works that are picked before they are ripe, worthless but high-priced, and 99% of the size of the normally ripe phoenix eye Bodhi is 13-15. There are fewer than 12mm and less than 16mm. Cao Ming also said helplessly.

"That's why there is a kind of small phoenix eye pretended to be a jujube pit, and the eye part is relatively small, just like a hard squeeze out, accounting for only half or even less than half of the transverse diameter of the bead. Because the small phoenix eye is very expensive, and the size of the sour jujube core is much smaller, and some sour jujube pits are slightly cheaper, so some people sell the sour jujube core as the phoenix, which is too unconscionable! ”

Wu Shixiang has experienced the craziest period of literary play, Xingyue, phoenix eyes, walnuts and so on, I will appear after you finish singing, and I will be fried in turn, and I have repeatedly set sky-high prices. On the contrary, it is precious mahogany such as red sandalwood and huanghuali, because there are big players to stabilize the market, and the price does not fluctuate much.

"I have also seen different methods of treating phoenix eyes, and they are used to being divided into ghee and water phoenixes, which refers to the difference between soaking in ghee and soaking in water when processing the original fruit of phoenix eyes. Traditional Nepalese phoenix eyes are all ghee processing, in the past two years, the price of ghee has risen, and some unscrupulous merchants have begun to use the method of water immersion, but the phoenix eyes obtained in this way are not authentic and durable, so players should be vigilant when buying. ”

While commenting on the player's collection, the three of them chatted and popularized knowledge at the same time, so that the player could avoid detours and spend less money.

At present, in the investment market, the price of phoenix eye Bodhi is divided by size and year, the size is mainly according to the size of the beads, there are generally the smallest 6mm, 7mm, 8.mm, 8.5mm, 9.0mm-10.mm, 11mm, 12mm and above, the smaller because of the quantity, the more expensive.

Among them, the top three 6, 7 and 8 broke through the 10,000 yuan mark three years ago, and now it is even more difficult to find, and the 0.9 or even 0.9 + phoenix eye Bodhi has become a reality from the price trend of 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan at the end of 2013.

Large ones such as 2.2 cm or more are also very expensive, 1.8 to 2.0 is a must-have for many veteran players, and the price has exceeded 100 yuan a piece during the year. Here is just to say that the new phoenix-eyed Bodhi, if you have played for many years or even inherit the old phoenix-eyed Bodhi, if the quality is good, it can be called antique-level, then the price is even more shocking.

Judging the quality of the phoenix cortex is mainly considered from three aspects: oiliness, density and color. From the outside, the phoenix eye is mainly divided into two kinds: yellow skin and red skin, and the oiliness of the red skin is higher than that of the yellow skin, especially when punching the phoenix eye, you will find that there is a clear difference, and the red skin will feel very oily.

The criterion of density is mainly to distinguish whether it is a bran seed or not, and the bran seed is a seed that is not ripe enough. This kind of seed skin is of poor quality, and the effect of playing in the later stage is poor. The best way to judge the bran seeds is to use your hands to weigh them, which feels lighter. In addition, the eye shape of the bran seed is relatively not full, and the eye shape is relatively poor.

The roundness of natural plant seeds is certainly not very good, and a good bunch of phoenix eyes is to pick out seeds that are close to the perfect circle in shape, which is the easiest indicator to grasp when selecting phoenix eyes.

Judging the eye shape is mainly judged from four aspects: the clarity of the eyeliner, whether the eye shape is full and slender, whether the eye is straight, and whether there is a leaky eye.

A good phoenix eyeliner should be clear, full and slender, straight and without eye leakage. In this way, one is to look good, and the other is to avoid the appearance of bran seeds, which are relatively unclear and not full in shape.

There are several reasons for eye leakage, first of all, the cortex of the eye part itself is relatively thin and prominent, so it is rubbed more severely in the process of playing, which is determined by the characteristics of the phoenix eye itself, and the phoenix eye in the later stage is easy to show its eyes.

The external causes of eye leakage include brushing too hard or manual grinding, and there is also a situation where the bran seeds, the cortex is not tight and thick enough, and it is easy to leak eyes, which should be avoided when choosing.

When a player asked how to play to produce a beautiful pulp, Wu Shixiang shared: "The new seeds should be cleaned first, and I always brush them lightly with a bristle brush first, and then brush them lightly after playing for a few days, and so on several times until the gaps are clean." Sometimes you have to use a needle to pick the gap a little, but you must pay attention to brush it lightly with a soft brush, so as not to brush it too much, so as not to hurt the cortex. ”

"There are also players who play with the handpan for a few days and then use cotton gloves to play again, and then get started when the disc is clean. Many people will ask whether to oil or cook it in ghee, and I personally feel that the oil content of the phoenix eye is relatively large, so there is no need to oil. Oiling is easy to cause black, and the color is not good-looking. If you pay attention to the players around you, you will find that the color of dry hands will be more delicate and clear than that of oily hands, and the colors will be more beautiful. ”

There are more and more people playing phoenix eyes now, and basically there are three main Bodhi players: King Kong, Xingyue and Phoenix Eyes. Of course, there are mutated varieties of phoenix eyes, and the triangular ones are called dragon eyes, which are shaped like dragon eyes.

Even rarer are the Four Horned Eyes, which players call Papaya Unicorn Eyes! The size is about the same as the phoenix eye, but the eyes have mutated, and I heard that thousands of them can produce a unicorn eye. The price is very high, a normal size is three or four hundred, and the price doubles several times for each big circle.

"Hello three experts, I am a merchant in the antique city, I have been running Bodhi, and I have two strings of treasures in my hands, please palm."

A middle-aged lady came to the stage with a smile, and after waiting for an afternoon, she asked Liangliangbao to make herself famous. First took out a string of about 1.7 handhelds, and there was nothing special at first glance. However, as soon as Cao Ming got started, he exclaimed.

"Five-star general!"

Everyone looked at it, and the phoenix eyes that seemed ordinary turned out to be five-star generals! That is, each eye is a pentagonal shape, like a five-pointed star.

"What a rarity! The unicorn eye is already one in a thousand, but I didn't expect that there is really a string of five-star generals in hand! It's quite big, it's really like no other. ”

Lao Yu took it over, nodded and agreed, no paper is still an antique, in the final analysis, it is just five words, and rare is expensive! The rarer it is, the higher the price, and the more people will follow it.

"There is also a string of 1.3 full-toothed lotus Bodhi, you can take a look."

The middle-aged lady was a little proud, and took out a string of 108 lotus Bodhi. When it comes to the top match of Bodhi, it must be regarded as the lotus Bodhi in front of you. There has been no conclusion about its origin, some people say that it is a product of Nepal's high mountains, which is very rare; Some say it's made in India; Some people also say that the lotus flower is the sour jujube pit!

No matter what you say, in recent years, Lotus Bodhi has been synonymous with high prices, and any string of 1.0 currencies costs one or two thousand. For every millimeter larger, the price is more than double. Like this, a string of 1.3 large lotus flowers full of teeth can't come down without 50,000.

"You really have good goods in your hands, both strings are rare boutiques, especially five-star generals, it is not easy to make up a hand, it is the most eye-catching baby today!"

Lao Yu sighed, worthy of being an expert, he still has more goods in his hands than ordinary players, and he is a high-quality product, even the best. He was secretly curious, is there anything better with this Boss Wu next to him?
