Chapter 497: Year Prints
The ore veins are about to be mined, and with the accumulated treasures, Han Chong is already full of pots.
This object is put into his museum, anyway, his museum, and not just look at a year or two before closing, the true meaning of antiques, lies in the word "ancient", even if you don't hype, after a three, five or eight years, now the high-priced objects, will probably be worth twice at that time.
Some friends don't understand, knowing that the price of this thing will rise, why do they still sell it now? These business people are not stupid!
This principle is actually very simple, they need money when they buy things, and if they have more objects in their hands, they will inevitably have no funds to find things they like.
To put it bluntly, this thing is like speculating in stocks, if the stock you buy rises, you have to sell it, and you have to choose another potential stock, otherwise everyone will buy something and hold it in your hands, and the antique market will have no commodity circulation for a long time.
After negotiating the price with Lao Liu, Han Chong asked Xu Guang to take Lao Liu to the bank, and asked Xu Guang to take more money over.
"Teacher Han, how about you take a look at my object?"
After Lao Liu's matter was discussed, the person behind him immediately took the things and put them on the table in front of Han Chong.
"This thing, I look a little weird......"
Looking at the bronze artifact in front of him, Han Chong's eyes lit up, but after using the aura to infiltrate the artifact, his brows suddenly furrowed.
This bronze vessel is not large, about 10 centimeters high, about seven or eight centimeters in diameter, with three legs in the shape of a tripod below, and the body is round, covered with patina. It has not been artificially handled, and at first glance, it should be an object that opens the door.
However, Han Chong saw through the aura that the aura of the body of this bronze vessel was being lost, and there were some problems.
Look closely, the bronze is three-legged underneath. But it was empty, without the slightest aura existing, Han Chong took a magnifying glass, and after looking at it carefully for a while, there was a look of clarity in his eyes.
From the magnifying glass, it can be found that the three-legged of this bronze, the color and body of the vessel are slightly different, and it should be supplemented later, see here. Han Chong felt a little pity in his heart, if the three legs were not broken, this bronze could be listed as a national first-class cultural relic.
Don't look at this thing, it's not big, but it's a bronze Dunding type, non-Dun non-Ding and like Dunding, three-legged like Ding, round belly like Dun, but there are no straight ears on the body. It does not conform to the shape of the tripod, which should be a ritual vessel to worship the heavens in ancient times.
See here. Han Chong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Nanhe is worthy of being the land of the Central Plains, with a long history, first there are fish dragon jade, and then there is this bronze Dunding, these unverified things. It's also everywhere.
Seeing that Han Chong was silent, the owner of this object was a little anxious, and asked, "Teacher Han, what age should this thing be?" Do you accept it? You have something to say. ”
Han Chong smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, this thing of yours, the shape is very rare, but there is one point, it is mutilated, these three legs, it is the ...... that was added later"
Han Chong shook his head, the representative of the tripod is the bottom foot and straight ear, these two characteristics are gone, so what are you going to do? When it was sold in tatters, it wasn't pure copper.
"Impossible? Mr. Han, could you be mistaken? Take a look at it again..."
As long as he is a person, he can't accept others saying that his things are not good, and the person who was still praising Han Chong just now immediately became angry, and he almost rolled up his sleeves to do it.
"Look at the difference between the body and the three legs, the color and rust are not right, although this object is a backup, but it is not a forgery, it is still good to keep it for fun...... I'm already optimistic. ”
For such a person, Han Chong has seen a lot, and he didn't say much at the moment, and directly handed over the magnifying glass in his hand.
No matter how much he said, there were no facts to explain the problem, and after the man carefully examined it, his face became extremely ugly, and he picked up the bronze Dunding, and squeezed out of the crowd without looking back.
Watching the man leave, Han Chong shook his head and said: "Everyone, these antiques and these objects are all handed down by our ancestors, but after so many years, it is normal for some defects to be very normal, and there are counterfeit things from generation to generation, don't be too obsessed with the authenticity of the objects, now this thing is fake, and in a few hundred years, won't it also become an antique?" Everyone's mentality must be correct, otherwise it won't make much sense for me to appreciate here, it's not true, and it will make you unhappy......"
"That's it, everyone wants their own things to be good, but how can there be so many good things, don't be discouraged if it's not true, otherwise Mr. Han really won't give us appreciation......"
"Yes, yes." In the crowd, everyone responded.
"Teacher Han, it's my turn, come and help me take a look......"
Han Chong's words caused laughter in the audience, and the originally tense atmosphere became relaxed.
The next few objects identified by Han Chong one after another are all modern handicrafts, but the craftsmanship of the fake is much more clever than those things on the stall, and they all say that the fake antiques are mostly from Nanhe, which also opened Han Chong's eyes.
After about half an hour, Xu Guang and Lao Liu came back, but behind Xu Guang, there was a bulging backpack, and he took out 800,000 cash according to Han Chong's instructions. Xu Guang has a lot of strength and courage, so he is not afraid that others will rob him.
Ceramics Han Chong is now lacking in the Han and Tang dynasties, and bronzes are all lacking, but he doesn't dare to blatantly buy them here, so Han Chong's purpose is to get some miscellaneous objects and fill his jade miscellaneous museum.
However, the things that were used for appraisal later made Han Chong feel a little disappointed, they were basically modern imitations, even if there were one or two real things, they were not of high value and were not worth selling for themselves.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and Manager Wang had already booked a banquet next to the antique city, which saved the expert fee, and invited the expert to have a meal, but it was necessary. You must know that according to Han Chong's current status in the antique world, how can he pay a hardship fee of 180,000 yuan to attend such a treasure appreciation event.
The people who accompanied him included several leaders of the local antique association, and those who were waiting for Han Chong's appraisal did not have this kind of treatment, and they poured out of the antique city one after another. Find a place to deal with the two and then come back to line up.
They also saw that Han Chong was alone, and it was impossible to identify the objects of everyone present today, and only by ranking in front could they have a chance. So everyone is even more enthusiastic.
"Huh? Why does that person look a little familiar? ”
Han Chong just walked out of the antique city. I saw a primary school student walking past me, wearing a red scarf around his neck on a hot day, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
However, under the support of Wang Xiao and others, Han Chong didn't think much about it, and followed everyone across the road and came to the hotel.
Just as Han Chong entered the hotel, the figure who had just walked past him glanced back at Han Chong before disappearing at the crossroads.
This person is Zhou Wenhai. However, to the surprise of Deputy Pan Bureau and others, he did not enter the antique city, which also made all the arrangements of Deputy Pan Bureau fall through, and after a hard day's work, he had to withdraw the personnel. This guy is really more cunning than a rabbit.
...... "Manager Wang, let's continue?" ”
After returning to the antique city after eating, Han Chong sat down for a while and drank water. Seeing the long queue outside, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. He now understands why there are several experts invited at once, and the workload is really not small.
"Xu Guang, 60,000, pay ......"
Han Chong handed a mid-Qing jade Ruyi that he was playing with in his hand to Xu Guang. He stood up and stretched.
I have been sitting since eating, and I have seen about fifty or sixty antiques, although there are many genuine ones, but there are only six or seven pieces that Han Chong can take a fancy to. A total of about 400,000 yuan was spent.
During this period, Deputy Pan made several phone calls to come in and asked Zhou Wenhai if he had contacted him, it seems that the buddy is also in a hurry, the initiative is not in his hands, and he is naturally tied down when he gets things done. But that kid really didn't contact him.
"Next ......"
Manager Wang, who was standing at the door and shouting, shouted to the door with full of energy, he opened his eyes today and really saw what it means to be an expert.
No matter what kind of antique it is, as long as it is in Han Chong's hands, he can distinguish the authenticity and tell the basis, Han Chong is a master of antiques and know-it-all, and he is specialized in art, which is really not applicable to Han Chong, until now, there is no object that can be difficult to stop him.
"Hey, this thing is good......"
With Wang Xiao's shout, an old man in his sixties entered the room, and Han Chong's eyes lit up when he saw the object he was holding in his arms.
The old man was not tall, he should be in his early sixties, and he was wearing a sweat-absorbing white practice uniform, which looked very energetic, but since he entered the office, Han Chong's eyes were fixed on the object he was holding in his arms.
In the old man's arms was a piece of woodblock about one meter long and about seventy centimeters wide, the color was a little dark red, and there were some reliefs on the side of the wooden board facing Han Chong.
Han Chong was not far from the door, as soon as the old man came in, although he couldn't get started and take a closer look, Han Chong could also recognize it, the relief on this woodblock should be a door god, with a big head and a small body, as for Qin Qiong or Wei Chigong, Han Chong couldn't recognize it.
Although the wood of the woodblock is very delicate, Han Chong can see that it must not be made of rosewood, otherwise I am afraid that this old man will not be able to hold it at all. But it must not be a simple object.
"Old man, come, come, it's a hot day, put things down first......"
Han Chong stood up and helped the old man put the wooden board on the square table, and after getting started, Han Chong felt that although the wooden board was quite thick, it was not very heavy.
"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself, and I shouldn't ask the teacher to do it......"
The old man waved his hand again and again, and finally at Han Chong's insistence, he let go and let Han Chong put the things on the table.
"Hehe, old man, let's drink saliva first......"
Han Chong laughed, Manager Wang will become a waiter, and immediately took a glass of water and handed it over.
"Thank you, Manager Wang......"
The old man and Wang Xiao seemed to know each other, and after taking the water he poured, he stood there a little cramped, and said: "Teacher Han, this thing was handed down by my ancestors, and it has been kept at home, and the family has been demolished recently, and the compensation is not enough to buy a house in the city, so I will bring this thing to you to see, if it is worth two dollars, I will sell him......"
"Old man, just call me Xiao Han, I can't afford to be a teacher, take the liberty of asking, your ancestor is Zhu Xianzhen, right?"
When Han Chong heard that the old man was going to sell this thing, he couldn't help but light up, this object doesn't look like it is ordinary, but it is not small, when he looked at it with aura just now, it was at least something left over from the middle and early Qing Dynasty.
The full name of this woodblock should be called the New Year's picture stereotype, and the New Year's picture made with it is called the woodblock New Year's picture. Han Chong has also dealt with this thing a few times.
People who are familiar with history should have heard the name of Zhu Xianzhen, when Yue Fei once broke the golden soldiers here, if it were not for the twelve gold medals, maybe China's history would be rewritten, but in modern times, Zhu Xianzhen is famous for its woodblock New Year paintings.
Zhu Xianzhen's woodblock New Year's paintings and Jin's Yang Liuqing, Jiangsu's peach blossom wu, Shandong's Weifang, and Sichuan's mian bamboo New Year's paintings, collectively known as the five major New Year paintings, and have been included in one of the world's intangible cultural heritage, and also one of the most folk handicrafts.
Zhu Xianzhen's New Year paintings are characterized by full composition, thick and concise lines, simple and exaggerated shapes, and fresh and gorgeous colors, which are in line with the color of this woodblock.
Another feature of Zhu Xianzhen's New Year's paintings is that they are divided into two categories, one is the painting of gods, such as the god of the stove, the god of heaven and earth, etc., and the other is the door god.
So Han Chong immediately guessed the origin of this woodblock, Zhu Xianzhen himself is in Nanhe, and the stereotype of the door god is a local feature, if Han Chong doesn't have this eyesight, he will not mix with antiques again.
"Alas, it's a shame, since you can see it Teacher Han, I won't hide it, you are right, our family moved out of Zhuxian Town......"
The old man nodded, with a look of embarrassment on his face, as if he had come here today with this woodblock as if he had done something wrong.
"What's the matter, uncle?"
"Mr. Han, this is Uncle Qiu, our two families used to live together, the relationship is very good, Uncle Qiu has been in a hurry to use money recently, and has been asking me to take this stereotype, you want to receive something today, so I called Uncle Qiu and asked him to bring it over to show you the ......"
Wang Xiao, who was standing on the side, seemed embarrassed to open his mouth when he saw the old man, so he told Han Chong what had happened
