But for a true connoisseur, as long as you smell it, you can know whether an antique is rustic.

If there is rustic, then this thing must be a pit, and it has only recently been unearthed without much time, generally this time is half a year, more than half a year, a raw pit antique will be raised, it will become a cooked vessel.

But if it is said that the phone call is more than a year, then even if an expert comes over, it is impossible to find out the rustic atmosphere on the antique. Therefore, it is normal for middle-aged people not to know about this thing.

But Wang Chan knew very clearly, and he suspected that this fruit bowl was not without reason.

Putting down the plate, Wang Chan said with a smile: "The thing is right, open the door to the generation, but this thing, if it must be said to be a ritual vessel to worship the sky, then this thing is impossible, the Qing history manuscript has a record, when the day is sacrificed, the fruit plate is a ritual vessel has strict regulations."

When the emperor was worshipping his ancestors, the length of the fruit plate was nine inches, the princes and ministers were eight inches, the second grade was seven inches, and the rest was not exquisite.

But the key point is that when worshiping the sky, the plate is not nine inches, but ten inches, nine is the supreme number, and the emperor will generally enjoy it, but because the object of worship is the sky, it is more noble than the emperor, so the size of the fruit plate when worshipping the sky is ten inches, perfect, only a genius can afford a ten-inch fruit plate, and the rest, even if it is the emperor, it is not eligible to enjoy the ten-inch size of the fruit plate. ”

Regarding the size of the fruit plate when sacrificing to the sky, there is no clear record in the Qing history manuscript, but it is recorded in Taoism. In the classics of the Flying Star Sect, it is clearly remembered that when worshipping the heavens, the size of the fruit bowl was ten inches. It represents the heavens and is perfect. Pray for a good harvest from heaven.

The middle-aged man was a little dumbfounded now, good guy, how could there be a stubble, he was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "What does the shopkeeper mean?" ”

In fact, the middle-aged man himself has made a conclusion, his own plate, the natural size of him will be very clear, the plate is an antique, and other antiques are different. The size is directly proportional to the price, and if the plate is larger, the price will be higher when it looks like it.

Because the larger the plate, the more difficult it is to preserve in such a situation, and it can be directly preserved until now, naturally the larger the plate is more valuable, at least in front of the same kind of porcelain, the larger the plate, the more valuable.

Wang Chan glanced at the plate and said, "This plate is nine inches. If it is said that according to the above records in the Qing historical manuscript, there is nothing wrong with this is a ritual vessel, but it is definitely not a ritual vessel to worship the sky, the emperor sacrifices to the sky. The size of the fruit bowl is ten inches, and no one makes a mistake in this matter, it is a matter of losing their heads.

Therefore. This fruit bowl is a ritual vessel used by the emperor himself to worship his ancestors. ”

those who worship heaven and those who worship their ancestors. The size of this ritual vessel is naturally different in price.

Wang Chan has spoken to such an extent. The middle-aged man seemed to be aware of some physical problems on such a question, and he said a little nervously: "If the emperor worships his ancestors, it should also be a very valuable thing, I have been to the Forbidden City, and similar things are rare in the Forbidden City." Therefore, in terms of value, it should be relatively high. ”

Seeing that this middle-aged man is also a farmer dressed and looks good, but he is also very smart, and before selling things, he also did some research on his own things.

Wang Chan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, there are not many things that the emperor sacrifices to his ancestors in the Forbidden City, do you know why?" ”

said why, but the middle-aged man was a little speechless, why is this thing? Who knows about this thing, in such a situation, the middle-aged man only shook his head helplessly, he is not a professional, and being able to think of going to the Forbidden City is already a very good way for a layman.

But when it comes to why there are few things sacrificed by the emperor in this Forbidden City, there are really not many people who know about it, even if it is an antique dealer, there are not many people who know this secret. Wang Chan happened to be one of them who found this secret.

Therefore, he fixed his mind and said, "That's because, in such a situation, all those porcelains were taken away by Pu Yi." ”

Pu Yi, if it is Pu Yi, then at this time, there may not be many people who know, but if it is said that the last emperor declares unification, then in such a case, there are more people who know.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, in order to sell his family heirlooms, he also made up for these emperors of the Qing Dynasty, so he was stunned for a moment and said: "Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty Xuantong?" ”

Wang Chan nodded and said: "That's right, the last emperor Xuantong, although he abdicated, but he finally abdicated more decently, and in the first few years, he also took a lot of money from the government every year." Therefore, when he finally left, he took a lot of treasures with him.

Among them, the ritual utensils for worshiping ancestors or something, the emperor who is inferior to the throne wants to take it, and it is also human nature, therefore, there are not many things in the Forbidden City, but it is said that the people, especially in the three eastern provinces, the emperor's ritual vessels for worshipping ancestors will pop up from time to time One or two, which were brought by Emperor Puyi of Xuantong back then.

Later, it went to the people. Therefore, it is rare to say that the ritual utensils used by the emperor to worship his ancestors in his own family, whether it is the Forbidden City or the Forbidden City on Treasure Island, but it is said that there are many things in the people.

Therefore, this price is not necessarily very high. So at this time, the question arises, since the fruit bowl is something used by the emperor when he sacrifices to the sky, how to distinguish whether it is real or fake? ”

The middle-aged man really didn't know this, so he was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly. This thing is just something that the emperor worships his ancestors, not the sky, this is already beyond his expectations, how to distinguish it is really a fake, this is naturally not the ability that middle-aged people should have.

Wang Chan looked at the celadon fruit plate and said very confidently: "The things used by the emperor are naturally not so easy to imitate, and there is a very obvious feature, there is a special word in the antique shop, called Jin Shengyu Zhen." This is the most intuitive elaboration of these ritual objects. (To be continued......)
