The broken porcelain pieces were quickly cleaned up and set aside, revealing a brilliant golden light.

"This ...... Golden Buddha statue? ”

Zhou Yafang trembled and stretched out her hands, holding the Buddha statue on the ground that was only the size of a fist, the faint golden light did not look particularly eye-catching, but it suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Yafang and Qian Fang took a look at each other, they are both people who have been rolling in the antique collection for many years, as soon as they see this kind of Buddha statue, they know that the Buddha statue in it must be a good thing, the only question is how good this Buddha statue is.

In fact, even if the Buddha statue didn't have any origin, just because it was golden, it was already quite valuable - Fang Ming only spent 5,000 yuan on it, and the value of the fist-sized gold far exceeded it, in case he could find the origin and find the source, it would be a terrible thing.

Looking at the Buddha statue in Zhou Yafang's hand, Fang Ming already understood why Pixiu would only appear when his right hand was placed on the base of the Buddha statue, it turned out that this small Buddha statue was hidden in the place of the base, and the right hand was placed elsewhere because it was too far away, so there was no reaction at all.

"Old Qian, when did you look at this Buddha statue? Is there any origin? ”

Zhou Yafang looked at the Buddha statue for a while and handed it to Qian Fang, although she has a certain study of the Buddha statue, but there is still a certain gap compared with Qian Fang, which she has; One; Root; Read, the novel yb+du self-aware.

Seeing that Qian Fang took the Buddha statue, Fang Ming could only take back his outstretched hand and touch his nose, this Buddha statue was clearly a leak picked up by himself, shouldn't he show me it first and get over it?

But it is obvious that Zhou Yafang and Qian Fang don't "take themselves in their eyes" - what else can they do? Is it possible to snatch the Buddha statue from Qian Fang's hands? Obviously this is not possible.

Therefore, Fang Ming could only watch Qian Fang holding the Buddha statue and looking at it over and over again, while he could only sit dry.

Qian Fang looked at it very carefully, and it took more than an hour to stop.

"This should be a Buddha statue made by Gong Yan of the Ming Dynasty, now such things are becoming more and more rare, Fang Ming, your kid's luck is really against the sky, you can pick up such a leak?! I'm really convinced! ”

Qian Fang sighed, the half-meter-high Buddha statue before was obviously an imitation thing, Fang Ming spent money to buy it, which is enough to show that he has no ability and experience in the identification of this Buddha statue, but after inadvertently breaking the Buddha statue, he revealed such a Buddha statue made of pure gold, and it was from the palace, such a thing is really rare and undesirable now. How could he not sigh?

"This ...... Good luck, really good luck. ”

Hearing Fang Ming say this again, Zhou Yafang was so angry that she rolled her eyes, but what could she say?

"Old Qian, why do you say that this is a Buddha statue from the court of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhou Yafang was stunned for a moment, she also judged that this should be a Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty, but she did not see whether it was from the palace or not - and this point is crucial and decisive for the value of the Buddha statue.

There are two main reasons why the things of the palace are more valuable than the ordinary ones, the first is that the things of the palace, whether it is materials or workmanship, are often the embodiment of the highest level; The other is cultural, people believe that all the things in the court are upright and symbolic, and the price will naturally go up.

"First, the bottom of this Buddha statue is engraved with 'Ming Yongle Nianshi', which is consistent with the historical records. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it attached great importance to the relationship with ethnic minorities, especially the religion in the Tibetan area, but at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the monks who came to the capital were mostly given various practical goods, among which there were no Buddha statues. According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, the first time the Ming court bestowed Buddhist statues on Tibetan monks occurred in the sixth year of Yongle, that is, in 1408, in this year, 'the great treasure of the Dharma King Halima, resigned, gave platinum, colored silk, Buddha statues and other things, and still sent the officials to escort them'. This is the earliest known in explicit records; Second, there are only two kinds of Buddha statues made by the court of the Ming Dynasty with the year, one is the 'Ming Yongle New Year' that we see now, and the other is ' Daming Xuande Nian Shi 'two, from the carving method is the use of Yin carving, including the position is located on the pedestal front of the table, the font is beautiful, and the size of the Buddha statue made at this time is usually about 20 to 30 centimeters, the shape is smooth and beautiful, the texture of the gold used is also quite pure, which is not the Buddha statue of other periods; Based on the above, I conclude that the Buddha statue of Manjushri in front of me was a Buddha statue in the Ming Yongle period and published in the court. ”

"Old Qian, I have a question I want to ask."

After listening to Qian Fang's analysis, Fang Ming suddenly remembered a question.

"Oh? What questions do you have? Go ahead. Let's see if I can answer that. ”

Qian Fang's face was full of smiles, he just wanted to see Fang Ming and come here to sit down for a while, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as Fang Ming's leakage, this really gave himself an unexpected surprise, for a person who plays antique collection, this is definitely the best "gift".

"That's the case, can it be concluded that the Buddha statue in front of you is Ming Yongle just because the bottom of the Buddha statue is engraved with 'Daming Yongle Nian'?"

For this question, Fang Ming really didn't understand a little, if it was just so simple, wouldn't it be to find something and engrave a few words on it, then it would become an antique of the Ming Dynasty or other dynasties?

Zhou Yafang laughed when she heard it, and said: "Of course, it can't be so simple, the words engraved or inscribed in antiques are indeed an important information used to determine the age, but this does not mean that it is on the line or can be determined if it is there, and it must be combined with other factors, the most important thing is, of course, to look at its style, to know that each dynasty has its fixed style and even craftsmanship, which is the most important basis for determining which age a certain antique is." ”

"Oh? What was the style of the Buddha statues in the court of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Fang Ming immediately asked like a curious baby.

Zhou Yafang's face showed a look of embarrassment, although she also had contact with the knowledge of the Buddha statues of the Ming Dynasty, but she was far from being proficient, and after hesitating for a while, she said: "I only know that the Buddha statues in the Ming Dynasty court are very influenced by the Tibetan style, but as for the specifics, I can't say." ”

After Zhou Yafang finished speaking, she looked at Qian Fang, and she could only ask him for such a question.

Qian Fang did not hide treasures, but said directly: "Miss Zhou is right, the Buddha statues in the Ming Dynasty court are indeed deeply influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, and many royal people believe in Tibetan Buddhism to a greater or lesser extent. Generally speaking, whether it is a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, the face shape is wide and large, the facial features are well-proportioned, plump and fleshy, with a smile at the corners of the mouth, etc., and the most important thing is that from the clothes they wear, they are generally more atmospheric and magnificent, and this is an important criterion for judging whether it is a royal Buddha statue. ”

"Of course, in addition to the Buddha crown, rosette and other places have obvious characteristics, if you are interested, you can find relevant books to study, the collection of Buddha statues is a very important part of the collection, broad and profound, to study thoroughly, it is definitely not so easy."

When Zhou Yafang heard Qian Fang say this, she immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I know an old-timer, he has been studying Buddha statues all his life, for more than sixty years, but every time I see him, I find that he is tirelessly consulting all kinds of materials, and this spirit is indeed worth learning from our young people." ”

"Hey, my biggest concern is how much this Buddha statue is worth?!"

When Qian Fang heard this, he immediately laughed angrily and said: "You kid, this Buddha statue is beautiful, it is a rare boutique, and if you say this, there is no taste at all." ”

"Hah! Am I a cheesy person? Qian Lao, why don't I sell you this Buddha statue? However, did you let me touch it and have a good time? ”

Fang Ming directly "ignored" Qian Fang's words, and instead made a joke.

"Hey, yes, I haven't gotten my hands on this Buddha statue yet."

Qian Fang pretended to be surprised, as if he had just discovered this matter, but he handed the Buddha statue to Fang Ming.

Zhou Yafang on the side saw that Fang Ming and Qian Fang were so "not big or small", and she was also envious, in fact, a collection of heroes like Qian Fang is equivalent to a "god" in the collection world, a junior like Fang Ming has to be respectful when he sees it, how can he be as relaxed as Fang Ming? The problem is that Qian Fang doesn't seem to mind this at all, but has a feeling of forgetting his friends, which can only be attributed to their "fate".

The moment he took the Buddha statue, Fang Ming felt a golden light flash in his eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, he had never seen such a large piece of gold! If you sell it, it's definitely worth a lot of money.

However, Fang Ming immediately didn't have the heart to care about how much this Buddha statue was worth! Because as soon as the Buddha statue was held in his hand, he immediately "saw" Pixiu quickly appear on the back of his right hand, and at the same time he clearly felt that something that seemed to be an electric current gushed out from the Buddha statue, and quickly "drilled" into his hand, forming a silky gold thread, and then Pixiu seemed to open his mouth, swallowed the gold thread in his stomach, and then "suspended" on the back of his hand motionless.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Fang Ming was stunned for a moment, except for the golden thread like electricity, he found that there was a vague image in his mind: in a small checkered box, there was something like a brocade cloth, and then the innermost thing was something that glowed with a clear yellow luster—giving people the feeling of being bright and shining on all beings.

He shook his head, then blinked his eyes again, and realized that it was not his delusion, but indeed "seen".

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yafang noticed that Fang Ming's movements and expression were very strange, and she felt very strange in her heart, thinking that she was crazy because she picked up a big leak?
