"Imperial Jade! Horse Riding Swift !! ”

Fang Mutian's eyes widened, and he didn't believe what he saw with his eyes, because these two things were simply legends, only existing in legends, how could they appear so truly in front of his eyes?

Ma Ta Feiyan, when you were in elementary school, you learned such a text, and you are no stranger to it. Horse stepping on Feiyan, also known as Ma Chao dragon sparrow, copper galloping horse, it was made around 220 A.D., for the Eastern Han Dynasty bronze, 34.5 cm high, 45 cm long, 13 cm wide, and the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang, the military governor of Zhangye and his wife were buried in the tomb, unearthed in 1969, now in the Gansu Provincial Museum.

The image of the horse stepping on the Feiyan is vigorous and handsome, with a unique demeanor, the horse neighs with its head high, the torso is strong and the limbs are slender, the legs and hooves are light and agile, and the three legs are in the air, galloping forward, and one foot is stepping on the dragon sparrow. A large horse stepped on the back of a galloping dragon sparrow, and the little dragon sparrow looked back in surprise, showing the majestic posture of the horse soaring in the air and galloping.

Its bold conception and romantic approach give people a thrilling feeling, which is amazing. The artist skillfully used a lightning-like moment to vividly express a galloping and vigorous Pegasus in the clouds, reflecting the spirit of striving for progress and striving for progress in the Han Dynasty.

The work is not only ingeniously conceived, but also very exquisite, not only in the expressive, but also realistic modeling, according to the ancient "Soma Sutra" described in the standard scale of the good horse to measure the copper galloping horse, almost no place is out of scale, so some people think that it is not only an outstanding work of art, but also the French style of Soma.

The shape of the copper galloping horse is vivid, the casting is exquisite, the proportions are accurate, and the movement of the limbs conforms to the movement habits of the horse, which is amazing for many archaeologists and artists at home and abroad. The galloping horse is neighing with its head high, jumping with its feet, a hoof stepping on a flying swallow, from the mechanical analysis, the horse stepping on the Feiyan has found the center of gravity for the Feiyan, resulting in stability, this romantic technique sets off the horse's vigorous heroic posture and galloping expression, giving people rich imagination and appeal, both the feeling of strength, and the rhythm of movement, the horse stepping on the Feiyan is also the wonder of Chinese bronze art.

The moment Fang Mutian became the Treasure Appreciation Grandmaster, a lot of cultural relics and antiques, whether domestic or foreign, relevant information appeared in his mind, for the study and understanding of ancient cultural relics, no one in this world can compare with him.

Looking at the situation inside the stone carving, Fang Mutian's breathing became a little short, the horse galloped, extremely expressive, it only had its right hind foot on the back of a dragon sparrow with wings spreading, the horse's thick and round body showed its powerful strength, but its movements were so light that people seemed to forget that it only put all its body weight on a small dragon sparrow through one foot.

The horse neighed, the forehead mane and tail were fluttering in the wind, full of "whimsical" pride, the dragon bird seemed to be looking back, stunned at the unexpected encounter with the galloping horse, this is simply the true reproduction of the ancients' "whip only birds compete for flight" poem! Needless to say, whether it is the expression of its brilliance or the mastery of the casting process, what is even more convincing is the brilliance of its creative concept.

It's no secret that it's not too difficult to create the image of a well-toned horse, but it's not so easy to express the movement of a still life, especially a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day, but our anonymous artists have been able to create a bold and exaggerated idea of a swallow flying through the air on the horse's right hind hoof.

The ancient Chinese craftsmen used the artistic techniques of combining realism and romanticism, with rich imagination, exquisite ideas, and skillful craftsmanship, the galloping horses and birds were wonderfully combined, and the swiftness of the birds set off the speed of the galloping horses, the shapes were vivid and ingenious, and the galloping and uninhibited momentum of the galloping horses and the solid and stable mechanical structure were condensed into one, and the vigorous vitality and indomitable momentum it possessed were the symbols of the Chinese nation.

What made Fang Mutian even more disbelievable was that the inside of the stone carving was not a bronze object, but a jade carving, and the entire Ma Ta Feiyan was carved from jade, and this jade was still an imperial jade that was rare to see for thousands of years in jade.

The grade of jadeite first looks at the species, and then the color, in people's cognition, jadeite, the best species is the glass species, the best color is imperial green, blood beauty, purple eyes, supreme yellow, Smurfs and so on, but what people don't know is that in the jadeite, there is also a kind of jadeite, colorless, clear and transparent, giving a clean, bright feeling, the texture is better than the glass species, that is, imperial jade.

Imperial jade, appeared once in history, and the time of appearance was two thousand years ago, that is, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fang Mutian learned according to the information obtained that the piece of imperial jade at that time was obtained by a high-ranking minister of the dynasty, and then ordered someone to secretly carve it into a horse stepping Feiyan, but just after the carving was completed, this work has not had time to come out, and I don't know where it has ended, and I don't know where it went.

At that time, this matter became an unsolved case, and many people did not want to believe it, and over time, it became a legend, and to this day, few people believe in this matter.

Ma Ta Feiyan, coupled with the imperial jade, the combination of the two, I am afraid that its value is more heirloom jade seal 'and family bi' will not be worse, but the meaning of the two is different.

You know, the imperial jade horse stepping on the swallow, it is more difficult to carve the jade than the bronze horse stepping on the swallow, and the emperor jade horse stepping on the swallow in front of you is not just simply carved with jadeite, according to the data, when carving, it also used a very special technique, making this jade carving very extraordinary.

Taking a few deep breaths, Fang Mutian slowly recovered the excitement in his heart, although it was difficult to believe this fact, but the Emperor Jade Horse Stepping Feiyan was so real in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

Fang Mutian's shocked expression just now fell into everyone's eyes, seeing him staring at the stone carving horse stepping on Feiyan, Yang Kunshan asked, "Little Brother Fang, do you still like stone carving?" ”

At the same time, he also took a serious look at the stone carving, which was carved from bronze, but its proportions were larger than that of bronze, and the stone carving was only considered an ordinary work, but it looked a little old, but other than that, there was nothing special.

Regarding Fang Mutian's strength in antiques, Yang Kunshan has already regarded him as a master. So, Yang Kunshan was a little puzzled in his heart, how could such a stone carving make Fang Mutian so out of shape? Is there something special about it that it doesn't see in itself?

Yang Kunshan took a closer look, but he still didn't think there was anything special, there are many such stone carvings on the market now, and it is not difficult to buy them, and the price is not high.

Yang Kunshan was puzzled, and the same was true for others, Dong Ruixiu frowned slightly, while the fat man was curious, did he find that this stone carving was a good thing?

Fang Mutian scolded secretly in his heart, blaming himself for being too inattentive just now, so as to attract the attention of others, smiled, and said: "I love this national treasure very much, and I have always wanted to go to the Gansu Museum to see it, but I have to go to school and didn't have time to spare, and now I see such a stone sculpture carved in the original shape of Ma Ta Feiyan, so I am very surprised." ”

Yang Kunshan and the others nodded, not doubting Fang Mutian's explanation, after all, everyone likes the bronze piece of Ma Ta Feiyan, and in addition, this stone carving is also average, there is nothing special about it, so they believe his words.

Immediately, Fang Mutian asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this stone carving?" ”

The stall owner said with a smile: "Little brother, you really have a vision, this stone carving is a carving from the Republic of China, if you want it, take it with eight thousand." ”

"Eight thousand?" When Fang Mutian heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.

And Yang Kunshan was stunned, how could such a stone carving get eight thousand? Even if it is the period of the Republic of China, it is not so expensive, there are many such stone carvings in the market, 800 yuan is enough, this stall owner actually wants 8,000, it is simply slaughtering them as Kaizi.

Yang Kunshan guessed well, this stall owner is indeed slaughtering them, just now Fang Mutian bought the Qing Qianlong Blue and White Cave Stone Rui Beast Round Straight Bottle, such a super big leak has been spread in the ghost market, and this stall is not far from the previous stall, this stall owner has already noticed them.

Such a group of people, including Yang Kunshan, who is important in the antique world, and Miss Kuo Shao, who is rich, who will they slaughter?

The stall owner nodded and said: "Eight thousand, not a lot, little brother, look at how good this stone carving is, the galloping horse neighing, the mane and tail are fluttering in the wind, and the dragon finch under the feet is panicked, as if it is natural, such a carving, in addition to the product of the Republic of China, is eight thousand expensive?" ”

"It's not expensive at all." Fang Mutian nodded with a smile.

Fang Mutian's answer made the stall owner stunned, he originally thought that this guy would be too expensive, but he didn't expect him to say that it was not expensive at all, could it be that the price he offered was low, it was really not expensive at all?

But Yang Kunshan on the side was a little anxious, but he didn't understand the rules of the antique shop, so he could only be anxious on the side.

"In that case, little brother, do you want this stone carving?" The stall owner regretted it a little, but he couldn't sit on the ground and raise the price, otherwise he wouldn't want to have any other business tonight.

"Yes, of course, how can you not? It's eight thousand, you dot. Fang Mutian didn't hesitate to take out a wad of money and hand it to the stall owner, let alone eight thousand, even eighty million, he would take it without hesitation, this is a national treasure, how can he let it go?

The stall owner took the money in a daze, did he really buy it? It wasn't until Fang Mutian and the fat man moved the stone carving to their side that the stall owner came back to his senses.

"You count, if the money is not bad, then this stone sculpture is mine." Fang Mutian said.

The stall owner nodded, counted carefully, eight thousand is a lot, and said, "Just eight thousand, little brother, this stone carving is yours." ”

Yang Kunshan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that Fang Mutian had paid and the business had been completed.

Fang Mutian was excited and excited at this moment, and said to Yang Kunshan, who shook his head beside him: "Old Yang, I won't accompany you, I have already gained a lot tonight, so I won't go shopping." ”

Yang Kunshan nodded, although he didn't know why Fang Mutian spent eight thousand to buy this stone carving, but his harvest tonight was indeed not small, and said, "Okay, give me your phone number, we have a chance to have a good chat." ”

After telling Yang Kunshan the phone number, Fang Mutian said goodbye to Yang Kunshan's grandfather and grandson, the volume of the stone carving is not small, the weight is not light, carried by Fang Mutian and the fat man, the blue vase was held by Xu Min, and the group left the ghost market.
