Chapter 494: Treasure Appreciation Causes a Stir
Han Chong saw everyone's reaction, and knew that if he didn't show off today, he wouldn't be able to get out of this antique city, wouldn't he force his buddies?
The onlookers also had clear eyebrows, someone had already made a plate of water, took a small row of brushes, and put it on the counter in front of Han Chong.
Han Chong didn't say much, he directly threw the two jade pieces into the plate, rubbed the jade pieces with his hands, and began to clean them, and in the blink of an eye, a plate of clear water became turbid.
Han Chong didn't take out the jade piece, so the onlookers couldn't see what was inside.
"Hey, it's jade, it's really jade......"
"It should be jade, but when it was there, it's hard to say......"
"Yes, the objects carved out of the new jade are not worth much......"
"By the way, if you can pick up a leak by touching two random objects, that's amazing, right?"
Han Chong pinched a jade piece with his thumb and index finger in both hands, lifted it from the basin, and everyone's eyes gathered on Han Chong's hand, and the two jade pieces that were all white and slightly blue were presented in front of everyone.
Everyone can clearly see that these are two arc-shaped jade pieces about five or six centimeters long and about two centimeters wide, which look very thick from a distance, but what exactly they are will only know after getting started.
"Mr. Han, can you show me ......?"
Lao Qi in the crowd was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the two objects that Han Chong picked up casually were really jade, but at this time, Lao Qi still thought that even if it was jade, I was afraid that it was something made of scraps jade.
"No problem, please take a look......"
Han Chong glanced at Lao Liu, but did not hand over the jade in his hand, but gently put it on the glass cabinet in front of him, this move. It also made some onlookers feel moved.
This antique is very particular, such as jade porcelain, if the owner thinks that these things are more valuable, when letting others appreciate them. It is generally placed on the table and let others take it themselves, rather than handing it over, because if there is a mistake, it is difficult to discern the responsibility.
Han Chong's action of putting the jade piece on the table, that is to say, these two things should be very valuable in Han Chong's heart, if they are really three or five yuan stalls. He would never be so cautious.
"This ...... This thing? ”
Lao Liu saw that Han Chong was so cautious, his face became solemn, and he carefully picked up a jade piece from the counter, and carefully observed it, everyone could clearly see a trace of surprise on his face.
"Lao Liu, is this Gu Yu?"
"It looks like two pieces of jade fish......"
"Not necessarily, it may be a jade dragon ......"
"Lao Liu, hurry up and talk about it......"
Han Chong was holding a jade tablet in his hand. The other one was in Lao Liu's hands, and the onlookers gradually became a little impatient. shouted for Lao Liu to tell him his opinion.
"I can't say anything about this thing, jade is real jade, and it should be Hetian jade with good quality, but this thing is a new imitation or an ancient jade, I don't dare to say, let's let Mr. Han give an answer......"
Although Lao Liu said that it was not good. But the eyes had betrayed his heart, because when he handed the jade piece back to Han Chong, the blind man could see that this jade piece was not simple.
Just as everyone thought. Although Lao Liu has not studied this type of jade piece, judging from the quality of the jade and the color of the edge of the jade piece, this is definitely an ancient jade.
And the slightly yellowish color and slightly jerky feel all show that this thing has not been unearthed for a long time, at least it has not been collected and played.
"Teacher Liu is modest, this thing is very common in ancient jade, called Jade Dragon, from the perspective of shape, it is an object in the late Yin Dynasty, and the jade quality is also very good, although it does not meet the standard of mutton fat jade, but it is also a Hetian jade ...... on the upper side."
Before Han Chong's words fell, a huge inhalation sound had already been heard in the venue, the market price of the Yin Dynasty ancient jade made by high-grade Hetian jade was at least more than 300,000, this is a shocking leak!
Han ...... Mr. Han, you ...... Did you read that right? ”
It was Lao Liu who asked this, he had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, Han Chong's words were like a flavoring, and the sweet and sour came to his heart.
Han Chong glanced at Lao Liu, and felt a little embarrassed, others spent 20,000 yuan, and these two valuable things were picked out by themselves.
"Brother Liu, you shouldn't be mistaken, although the carvings of these two jade dragons are very concise, but the shape is extremely beautiful, fish and dragons are closely related to some of our ancient legends or allusions.
According to historical records, as early as the Yangshao culture period of the primitive society, there was such a legend that the jade dragon was exchanged, but from the physical objects that have been unearthed, the objects transformed by the jade dragon only appeared in the Tang Dynasty for the time being, and the fish is called Capricorn fish.
This kind of Capricorn fish is shaped like a fish, but it has horns on its head, and everyone knows that horns have always been considered to be the characteristics of dragons, so people also call Capricorn fish ichthyosaurs, and the allusion of carp jumping over the dragon gate comes from this.
These two ichthyosaur jades were much earlier than the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, in the Yin Shang period, there was already a physical object of this ichthyosaur transformation, and it can also be said that the appearance of this pair of ichthyosaur jade can fill the gap in Chinese jade culture for a period......"
As soon as Han Chong's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the cultural value of cultural relics that can fill some historical gaps is far higher than its own value.
What is the collection playing? Play is culture!
The reason why it is said that the antiques on the record are valuable is because they are inherited in an orderly manner, they are things that have appeared in history, have their own unique stories and backgrounds, and can be studied and deduced by others.
Think about the objects in your hands, maybe they were used by that historical celebrity, that feeling, it will definitely make you flutter, of course, outsiders can't understand it.
The same two objects, used by Emperor Qianlong, must be worth more than those used by ordinary people.
I once told such a story before, a young man who went to the antique shop to apply for a job, took a broken wooden strip and said that it was the toothpick of the Qianlong Lord, and was immediately hired by the shopkeeper of the antique shop, although this is a joke, but it also illustrates the importance of inheritance from the side.
And the fish dragon in Han Chong's hand. Although there is no record in the records, if it is really from the ancient jade of the Yin Shang period, as he said, it is from the Yin Shang period, then its value is probably not a matter of hundreds of thousands.
Just when everyone was still digesting Han Chong's words just now, Han Chong continued: "Everyone knows. In the Yin Shang period, there was no saying that the carp jumped over the dragon gate, but these two objects proved that in that era, there was also an allusion to the fish turning into a dragon, and there was a beautiful implication of ascending to the sky and rising to the sun.
In my personal opinion, these things are closely related to the history and culture of that time, and you can see it. This dragon-shaped jade is very similar to the dragon character in the oracle bone inscription.
Therefore, I assert that these two pieces of fish and dragon jade are the culture of the Yin Shang period, and to be more precise, they should be a typical cultural representative of the late Shang Dynasty.
The excavation of these two pieces of jade can also unearth cultural relics for the Yin Shang culture. To make some additions, the cultural value is very high ......"
In Han Chong's eyes. Although these two pieces of jade had not been polished, with its sufficient aura, Han Chong could judge the same.
And indeed, as Han Chong said, the value of these two pieces of jade is not in itself, but in the cultural background contained in the two pieces of jade. The reason why Han Chong values these two pieces of jade is precisely because of this.
After the collection of ancient jade increases in the future, these two pieces of jade will definitely become the treasure of the town hall together with the "White Jade Tiger" of the Western Han Dynasty in the Jade Miscellaneous Museum.
"I've seen it for a long time. It's been a long time to see ......."
"That's right, to be able to tell so much knowledge from a piece of jade, Mr. Han is worthy of being an expert......"
"It's also lucky, damn, why didn't I have this luck......"
"Just you? You were the loudest heckle just now, right? ”
"Lao Liu, how is it? Convincing, right? Lao Liu's face was pale.
"Teacher Han, tell me, how much are these two pieces of jade worth?"
There was nothing to say in the crowd, and finally someone asked Han Chong's price loudly, most of the people present were the bosses who sold jade, and some of the old guests who came to Taobao were stunned, wanting to hear Han Chong's offer.
Although the value of an object cannot be completely measured by money, money is always the most direct embodiment of measuring the value of an object.
If these two pieces of fish and dragon jade are only worth ten or eight pieces, then not to mention the ancient jade of Yin Shang, it was worn by the Yellow Emperor and his old man, I am afraid that everyone will not take a second look, this is the market theory.
"Hehe, everyone is in the industry, if this thing is priced purely from its jade quality and age, it should be at 200,000 yuan, and it may be a little higher if it is auctioned.
However, everyone knows that antiques are green vegetables and radishes, and when you meet someone you like, no matter how high the price is, it is also possible......"
"Wow, that's so tall?"
"You know a fart, Mr. Han is talking down......"
"Yes, if this is on the auction, you don't even think about it if you don't have a million......"
"Lao Wang lost a lot this time, and the treasure in hand was given out again......"
Hearing Han Chong's offer, everyone talked about it, and there were those who were purely here to travel, and they let out an exclamation, and then they were hit by some connoisseurs, perhaps Han Chong's words gave birth to many people who devoted themselves to the antique business.
As for Lao Wang, the original owner of these two objects, his face was pale at the moment, he couldn't have imagined that there were only seventy or eighty things in total, and he had cleaned forty or fifty pieces by himself, why didn't he see these two pieces?
The price that Han Chong said was like a hammer smashed into Lao Wang's chest, and Lao Wang's breath was so breathless that he couldn't breathe, and he just wanted to yell loudly to vent.
In fact, Han Chong is quite kind, in order not to hit Lao Wang, he has already said that the price of these two pieces of jade is low, these two pieces of jade, even if they are sold alone, one piece will be more than 1 million yuan rmB, and these two pieces of jade dragons are left and right pairs, and their prices will be doubled.
At last year's auction meeting, a piece of fish and dragon jade pendant from the Warring States period was not as good as these two, and finally it was auctioned at a high price of 1.3 million yuan, not to mention Han Chong, two ancient jade with its unique historical and cultural background.
"Teacher Han, are these two pieces of jade of yours for sale?"
"Yes, Mr. Han, if you are willing to sell, I will pay 300,000 yuan for ...... piece"
"Lao Wang, are you thinking about taking advantage again? 300,000, how many do you want, how much I want......"
"Teacher Han, I'll give 1 million, give me one piece......"
"Mr. Han, how about two pieces of 3.5 million? Let it be for me, right? ”
Don't look at the owners of these stalls are not very eye-catching, there is no shortage of wealthy people in them, and the price was raised to 3.5 million when he spoke, which is no less than the price of the auction mai, of course, the situation in the auction is changing, maybe the price will be higher.
However, as soon as the price of 3.5 million came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes focused on the bidder and Han Chong.
"Boss Han, surnamed Meng, my ancestor has always liked to collect ancient jade, I want to buy it and give it to the elderly, do you see if you can cut your love?"
The person who spoke was in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes on a hot day, and he was very polite in his conversation, and he seemed to be a person with status.
Han Chong smiled when he heard this, carefully handed over the two pieces of jade to Xu Guang and asked him to put them away, and then said: "Boss Meng, friends, I'm really sorry, I won't sell these two things, recently my younger brother is preparing to open an antique museum to promote Chinese culture, for friends in the industry and friends who like to collect to visit and exchange."
I'm the Pixiu now, only in and out, these things are in short supply, if you have something you don't want to play with, you can communicate with your little brother and communicate with each other, and communicate with each other......"
Han Chong's words caused a burst of laughter, and those who were originally a little disdainful of Han Chong because of his age also straightened their minds, and when they looked at Han Chong again, their eyes were already different.
There are also some well-known collectors in this antique city, but compared with Han Chong, it is far worse, to be able to afford to open a private museum, not only to have strong financial resources, but also to have a huge network and relationships in the antique shop.
It can be said that although they are both people in the collecting world, these people in the field are no longer on the same level as Han Chong.
"Teacher Han, I have a jade pixiu hidden at home, are you interested?"
"Teacher Han, there is an ancestral painting of Huang Tingjian in my family, can you help me take a look?"
"Hey, Mr. Han, this is an object I received some time ago, can you cut it off......"
After hearing Han Chong's words, everyone was loud and noisy, some asked Han Chong to help identify the treasures, and some wanted to sell the objects, for a while, the first floor of the entire antique city became like a vegetable market, and even the people on the second and third floors were also alarmed, and this person was more and more surrounded.
