Chapter 187 Tian Huangshi

Suning looked at Fang Ming, he knew that the other party already knew that he was looking for trouble, at the beginning, he thought he could see a trace of nervousness, but there was no at all, which made him quite unhappy in his heart.

Suning didn't do such a thing on the first day, he was quite experienced, after taking over the "commission" of Jia Ming and others, he carefully studied Fang Ming, and came to the conclusion that Fang Ming was a master of identification, and such a person was not easy to deal with, so he rejected the previous plan of Jia Ming and others to use a high-imitation porcelain from the early years to deal with Fang Ming, and changed an object, he was confident that he would be able to take the other party down, at least let Fang Ming suffer a big loss.

Just now he deliberately revealed a little "flaw" just to affect Fang Ming's mind, and the experience accumulated over the years told Suning that for a certain degree of appraisal master, what affects the appraisal result is no longer the so-called appraisal knowledge, but the psychology in the appraisal process, he just wants to affect Fang Ming's psychology, but now it seems that it is not successful.

sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head gently, Suning saw that it couldn't affect the decision to forget it, so he slowly opened the box he had placed on the table, and then first took out a piece of brocade cloth from it, and then carefully took out the contents from the inside after laying it out.

Fang Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

Suning took out not the porcelain and coins that are commonly referred to as "one" books and "novels" like antiques, but a stone, which was a little unexpected by Fang Ming.

Seeing the silent Fang Ming, Suning became proud and said, "Don't you Gu Xuanzhai accept stones?" This is the best Tianhuang stone. ”

Tian Huang stone is produced in the bottom of the rice fields on both sides of Shoushan Creek in Shoushan Township, Fuzhou City, it is yellow, because of "Tian" and "Yellow", it is called Tian Huang, and it is called the king of the stone and the emperor of the stone.

In the legend, after the last Yellow Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty fled, he threw away countless treasures, but in the end he still carried three Tianhuangshi seals of the Qianlong Emperor, which can be imagined how precious this Tianhuangshi is.

"How? To accept or not to collect? ”

Suning became more and more proud. He felt he had made the right choice today. Fang Ming is a master of picking up leaks, what does this mean? It shows that if you want to find trouble, you must not hope for ordinary antiques, that will definitely be difficult for Fang Ming.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Suning chose Fang Tian Huangshi, and now seeing Fang Ming's embarrassed silence, he knew that his choice was right.

Fang Ming smiled, of course he understood what the other party meant.

Of course, Tian Huangshi is different from ordinary antiques, many people who play antique collection are good at the identification of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, coins, etc., even if they are not good at it, they know a little bit, but for stones, not everyone understands, so Suning will use such things to embarrass himself - of course, there is no need to be polite to himself when looking for trouble.

However, on the other hand, the stone is an object in the collection, and I have no way to refuse to say that this thing is not a collection, so I don't accept it.

"Heh, as long as it's a good thing, why don't you accept it?"

Tian Huangshi is a good thing, if it's true, why not take it?

Legend has it that after Nuwa mends the sky, there is still a stone left that is not used, one day, when she walks on the earth, she finds that Fuzhou Shoushan has beautiful scenery and outstanding people, so she scattered the stone that had been and came to mend the sky but was not used in the end to the land of Shoushan, which is the later Tianhuangshi.

Of course, legends are just legends after all.

Tian Huangshi: According to the record of Shi Hongbao's "Fujian Miscellaneous Records" in the Qing Dynasty, one day an old farmer who went into the city to sell millet entered the city, because the soldiers pointed out that my burden was light at one end and heavy at the other, so he picked up a yellow stone from the field and put it on the light end. When passing by the famous family Cao Xuega's house at Zhiren's home, Cao Xuegao happened to come out and meet him, so he bought the stone, but even so, Tian Huangshi did not get people's attention for a long time after that.

It was not until the Kangxi period that Tian Huangshi slowly began to be known to the world.

During the Kangxi period, a person named Gao Zhao wrote a book called "Guanshi Lu", which recorded more than 140 Shoushan stones he saw, and it was divided into "divine products", "Yi products" and "wonderful products", among which there were "sweet and flawless ones", "yellow as steamed chestnuts" and "blood-soaked sweet yellow", etc., from these descriptions it should be possible to see that it refers to yellow stones, and it is very likely to refer to Tianhuang stone. At this time, although Tian Huangshi was well known, he still won enough recognition.

This situation was not changed until the time of Qianlong. It is said that Qianlong had a dream, dreamed that he was summoned by the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor gave him a yellow stone, and also gave him "Fu Shou Tian" three big characters, after waking up, let the minister give him a dream, some ministers pointed out that this must refer to the Tian Huang Stone of Fuzhou Shoushan, "Fu Shou Tian" refers to Fuzhou Shoushan Tian Huang. Qianlong was very happy, and therefore placed a piece of Tianhuang Stone in the future sacrifices. Since then, Tian Huangshi has become the "King of Stones" and "Emperor of Stones", and the status of Tian Huangshi has not changed until today.

However, the reason why Tian Huangshi has become a priceless treasure is because there is only one place in the world that can produce such a stone, that is, on both sides of a stream in Shoushan Village, that place is "wide and wide", and it is only more than ten miles long, only such a stone produced in a paddy field is called Tian Huangshi, in fact, the real Tian Huangshi refers to the "yellow" stone that appears in the basin of Kengtou Creek and its downstream Shoushan Creek in Shoushan Mountain, of course, only in this place does Tian Huangshi appear, Tianhuangshi is also completely nowhere to be found in a large section of the stream that is only a few steps away from Kengtou Creek. And from the source of the Kengtou Creek to the lower reaches of Shoushan Creek, the total length is eight long miles, and the production of Tian Huangshi is only one kilometer, and even in this place, those paddy fields are divided into Kamisaka, Nakasaka, Shimosaka and Ushimosaka, the Tianhuang born in the upper Bantian has a spiritual light but the color is lighter, the texture of the Nakasaka field is more tender but the color is relatively strong, the texture of the Shimosaka is like tung oil, and the texture of the remaining Tianhuang of the Ushimosaka is rough and hard, and the color is relatively dull. Therefore, among them, only Nakasaka can produce the best Tianhuang stone.

After years of mining, the quantity of Tianhuangshi is now very small and close to extinction, so it is becoming more and more expensive.

As early as many years ago, Tian Huangshi had a saying that there were one or two Tian Huang and one or two gold, but now it is actually more than this price.

In 1998, at the Sotheby's Spring Auction in Hong Kong, a piece of Maitreya Buddha said to be carved by Yang Yuxuan of the Qing Dynasty was auctioned, weighing only 140 grams, but finally sold for a high price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average of more than 15,000 Hong Kong dollars per gram.

In other words, Tian Huangshi is now seeing one piece less than one piece, so if the piece in front of him is true, Fang Ming can't understand why he didn't take it away, and even in his opinion, even if he gives a little more money, there is no problem.

"Oh? Boss of that party, do you think this is a good thing? ”

Suning looked at Fang Ming with a smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, this smile was a shameful smile.

"I'll have to see."

Fang Ming's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he didn't seem to feel the provocation in Suning's tone at all. Gently picked up the fist-sized stone of the brocade cloth - if this was really Tian Huangshi, it was already terrible in terms of size.

"I want this stone, how much does it cost?"

Su Ning was stunned, Fang Ming's appraisal was a little too fast, it was exactly the same as before, but it was completed as soon as he got started, which was really too scary.

"This ...... Are you done? ”

Although it was said that the sooner Fang Ming identified it, the greater the chance of making a mistake, and the better it would be for Suning, he was not happy at all at this time, but felt that there was a trace of something bad in his heart. Because in his original imagination, Fang Ming had to hesitate for at least a while, or turn the stone in his hand and study it carefully for half a day before he could come to a conclusion!

Putting the stone back on the brocade cloth, Fang Ming nodded lightly and said, "Of course, what's wrong with this?" It doesn't take much time to identify a stone. ”

Suning was so angry that he almost vomited blood, it didn't take much time to identify a stone? At least it will take a little more time, right? Just one glance and you're sure? Is this an identification or a guess, or is it a lie?

Tian Huangshi is extremely precious, and there is naturally a set of methods for identification, which is not child's play.

And to distinguish and identify these things, even experienced people have to spend hours or even days and months to carefully play with the identification, how can it be like Fang Ming who just took it in his hand and made a judgment after a moment of addiction?

Impossible, how could this kid identify it as soon as he got his hands on it? He must be playing tricks! Yes, it must be so.

Suning has been rolling in the antique collection industry for many years, and has seen a lot of bizarre things, not to mention various bureaus, but there are also many strange ways to do business, for example, some people deliberately pretend to know very well in order to make their own fame, and package themselves into "golden hands", "golden eyes" and the like.

That's how business is done, everything is easy to do after you have fame.

Suning suddenly thought of Fang Ming, was it the same? Is it also playing such an idea? Otherwise, he couldn't explain why he was able to identify an antique so quickly! As for the previous ones, sweeping the small antique street and picking up hundreds of pieces in one day, as well as the deliberate ones that came out of the mouths of those people who put money, Na was just a means to make Fang Ming famous.

Of course, it can also be seen from this that Fang Ming's coming is not small, for example, the second generation of a high-ranking official, or the rich second generation or the like, who took money to bribe Qian Fang and others, and deliberately created the image of a crazy man who picked up leaks.

The more Suning thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was right.
