Chapter Forty-Eight: Sui Hou Zhu
Running all the way out of the depths of the mountains, Bai Tang took out the bicycle and galloped on the way home with a cheerful whistle on the bicycle. The unexpected harvest made Bai Tang feel very good, and when he got home, he only went upstairs to say hello to Bai's father and Bai's mother, and went out with her travel bag through the two worlds. The moment the backpack was carried onto the back, two antiques were moved from the game backpack to the travel bag.
called Zhang Feng downstairs in the hotel, and Bai Tang went directly to the café to order a pot of fruit tea and waited for him. Less than five minutes later, Zhang Feng walked in, looking very anxious.
"Miss Bai, did you bring something?" Zhang Feng stared at Bai Tang's travel bag with sparkling eyes, so hot that it seemed to burn through the bag.
"Brought two." Bai Tang took out the first one from his travel bag, which was a set of four porcelain prints. The front of this group of porcelain prints is the story of the three knots of Taoyuan, and the back is painted with spring peach, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum pattern, the painting is very good, the price is not expensive, it is Bai Tang spent half a tael of silver to buy it from the carpenter. These porcelain prints were originally intended to be inlaid into the wooden railings of furniture and beds.
Zhang Feng almost grabbed the porcelain prints and studied them carefully.
“…… The use of blue and black color on the glaze has formed a combination of red, green, yellow, black, ochre, blue and other colors, making the color contrast more harmonious, calm, luxurious and deep, which is the characteristic of typical Kangxi Wucai. This group of porcelain prints is a porcelain print from the Kangxi period. Zhang Feng's face was full of happiness, and he knew that Bai Tang had good things in his hands.
"Kangxi Wucai?" Bai Tang was surprised, this is a product of the Kang Yuan Dynasty, how can it be related to Kangxi?
Thinking that Bai Tang was surprised because she didn't understand antiques, Zhang Feng explained to her wholeheartedly: "Porcelain printmaking began at the end of the Qing Dynasty and has only a history of more than 100 years, but if you want to trace its historical origin, you have to start from the Tang Dynasty." According to it. Porcelain prints evolved from traditional Chinese porcelain. Originally, porcelain was only for practical purposes, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it gradually developed into a decorative aspect. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Western enamel was introduced to China, so it added doucai and Wucai, adding a lot of color to the art of ceramic painting. Kangxi Wucai changed the rough painting style of Jiajing and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, forming a warm but not impetuous, calm but not delicate style. Kangxi glaze color and Ming Dynasty Jiajing, Wanli color has a distinct difference. Jiajing Wucai highlights the use of red color, while Kangxi glaze Wucai is the application of red, green, yellow, blue, ochre, black and other colors, rich in variety. Wucai takes Kangxi as the polar track, and Kangxi's colorful plate paintings are diverse in form, and the second is that the painting achievement is higher. Although the Kangxi five-color porcelain plate painting skills are high, they do not fall into the author's name, do not write the years and months, and the colorful works occasionally see one or two square graphic chapters, and its purpose is also for decoration. This is the salient feature of Kangxi's five-color porcelain paintings. ”
Bai Tang listened to Zhang Feng's explanation of Kangxi's five-color porcelain prints, and found that there was no difference between the characteristics of Kangyuan's porcelain prints and Kangxi's five-color porcelain prints. It seems that even if it is an empty dynasty, but the pen drawn by the native Qing Dynasty, except for the different names of the emperor and the dynasty, the social structure and humanities and folk customs are exactly the same.
"Sure enough, Miss Bai has all the good things in her hands!" Zhang Feng held Bai Tang and took out a price that he thought was reasonable,
Bai Tang nodded, she has no research on antiques, but I believe that Zhang Feng will not lose her, after all, the two of them will have to do business for a long time.
"Miss Bai, ...... next item" Zhang Fengshou made porcelain prints and stared at Bai Tang expectantly again.
Bai Tang took out the second item from his bag funny, it was a wooden box made of golden silk nan, and when he opened the lid of the box, there was a round bead with a diameter of one inch on the black brocade.
"It's a pearl of the night, it should be a bit old." This is from the treasure trove of the Nine Emperor Princes, and it is very well kept by the Nine Emperor Princes, and it seems to be a good thing.
Zhang Feng carefully examined the beads, and his face became more and more solemn. He raised his head and took a deep breath: "Miss Bai, it's not very convenient here, let's go to my room and say." ”
Bai Tang looked at Zhang Feng's cautious eyes and nodded. It seems that he has obtained a great thing, this bead is not an ordinary night pearl, it may be very big.
After the two entered the hotel room, Zhang Feng immediately locked the door lock to prevent others from entering, and then pulled up all the curtains, plunging the room into darkness. Bai Tang sat leisurely on the chair and watched Zhang Feng busy, without worrying about whether Zhang Feng had obscene thoughts about locking the door and closing the curtains, she could see that Zhang Feng attached great importance to the beads, so she was also a little more curious about the beads.
Zhang Feng held his breath and slowly opened the lid of the box, and a soft and bright light like moonlight flowed out of the box, illuminating the entire room, like a dream.
"It's beautiful!" Bai Tang couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhang Feng was stunned by excitement at this time, holding the beads and muttering: "The diameter is inch, pure white and luminous, you can candle room...... The night light of the hanging li, embellished with beads as candles...... Bimei Han Dongguo, Sichuan Tibetan bright moonlight. Ning Zhi After the funeral, there is a pearl to return to ......"
"Mr. Zhang, do you know the origin of this bead?" Bai Tang poked Zhang Feng's arm, mainly because Zhang Feng's mind was all attracted by the beads, and he couldn't hear Bai Tang's question. So after Zhang Feng was poked back to her senses by Bai Tang, she asked again.
"I'm not sure!" Zhang Feng inhaled and inhaled again, calming down the excitement before cautiously replying. In fact, he was already eighty percent sure that the beads were the kind of legendary item he thought, but because they were too precious, he was not sure, and he had to find a few more people to identify them together.
"I need to find a few peers to do it together." After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and made several calls in a row, and then smiled embarrassedly at Bai Tang, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." However, if this bead is real, it is a national treasure, I can't make a decision alone, those peers are the most professional in the industry, and they are more authoritative to identify. ”
"It's okay!" After Bai Tang replied, he asked more curiously, "What is the origin of this bead, and can you sue me?" ”
"I'm not sure yet!" Zhang Fengdao.
"If you're not sure, you can tell me your guess, right? I'm curious. Rest assured, I won't be disappointed even if I'm sure it's not what you guessed it is. "Bai Tang only feels like scratching his heart and lungs, don't hide your curiosity anymore, okay?
Zhang Feng thought about it and decided to tell Bai Tang about his speculation, he believed that Bai Tang was a sane person.
"This bead may be Suihou Zhu."
"Sui Hou Zhu?" Bai Tang was dazed, "What's that?" ”
Zhang Feng sat opposite Baitang, but his affectionate eyes kept falling on Sui Hou Zhu, unwilling to move a bit.
"You know He's Bi, right?"
"Know! The most famous jade in ancient times, Qin Shi Huang used it to make the jade seal of the country, which was regarded as a priceless treasure, but unfortunately with the change of dynasties, it was lost after the Tang Dynasty. "How could Bai Tang not know the famous He's Bi, when she first watched "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", she coveted He's Bi very much.
"Suihou Zhu and He's Bi are called the Spring and Autumn Two Treasures, and their value is not under He's Bi." Zhang Feng exploded a big news, making Bai Tang gasp.
"So bullish?" Bai Tang was speechless, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”
"Do you know the idiom Suizhu Jingyu?" Zhang Feng asked.
Bai Tang nodded: "I know." With the pearl of vitex jade to describe the best of the treasures. ”
"Yes, Suizhu Jingyu is also Suizhu and Bi, which refers to Suihou Zhu and He's Bi. Both are top-of-the-line jewelry. Zhang Feng told Bai Tang about the origin of Suihou Zhu, "Suihou Zhu is the treasure of Suiguo in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, legend has it that the monarch of Suihou saw an injured snake on the side of the road on a trip, and was in great pain with Hou, so that people bandaged the snake with medicine and released it into the grass. After the serpent was healed, he came to Suihou's residence with a night pearl and said, "I am the son of the dragon king, and I am grateful for the king's life-saving grace, and I have come to repay the virtue." Therefore, Suihou Zhu is also called the 'Pearl of the Spirit Snake'. It was recorded in "Huainanzi": "The pearl of the marquis, the bi of Bian He, the one who gains is rich, and the one who loses is poor." The 'easy-going' entry in the old "Cihai" notes: "Suihou's pearl, Bian He's bi, are all treasures, so easy-going and called'." ”
"Because Suihou Zhu was lost early in the morning. Suihou Zhu was originally the national treasure of Suiguo, Suiguo was destroyed by Chu and once fell into the hands of the King of Chu, after Chu was destroyed by Qin, Qin Shi Huang owned Suihou Zhu and He's Bi. This is fully confirmed from Lees's Book of Exhortations. He wrote to advise: 'The jade of Kunshan is the treasure of easy-going and harmonious, and the pearl of the bright moon...... This number of treasures, Qin does not give birth to a single person, and His Majesty Xià said, why not? ’”
Although Bai Tang traveled through ancient times, he was still confused about the meaning of the classical Chinese, and asked with big blank eyes: "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Feng smiled: "It means, 'Now your majesty has obtained the beautiful jade of Kunlun Mountain, with Suihou Zhu and Heshi Bi, and the pearl of the bright moon hanging on your body...... And these treasures are not produced by the Qin State, but His Majesty likes it very much, why is this? It can be seen that Suihou Zhu fell into the hands of Qin Shi Huang at that time. Later, Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si to write 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity', and the jade worker Sun Shou engraved it on the He's bi and became the emperor's jade seal. After Liu Bang destroyed Qin, He's Bi became the Han Emperor's Han national seal. After that, it lasted 1,600 years and went through the hands of more than 100 emperors. But with Hou Zhu from Qin Shi Huang there is no follow-up. Some people have researched that Hou Zhu was buried with Qin Shi Huang and was buried in the tomb to replace the anointing candles. ”
I'm forked! The Nine Emperors wouldn't have stolen the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, right? Facing Zhang Feng's gaze of "Did your sect steal the tomb of Qin Shi Huang", Bai Tang secretly wiped his sweat and sneered: "I got this bead by accident, and the origin is absolutely fine." ”
Zhang Feng smiled slightly and said no more. Even if Baitang's sect stole the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, it should have been a long time ago, at that time, ZF had not yet been established, how to pursue its responsibility for robbing the tomb?
