0034 Double Beaulieu Pattern Mirror
"I, I-" Han Jiangang hurriedly shook his head, "I, I know a place that may be their foothold." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhou Ming's heart was a spirit, where to stay? If you can find this foothold, you might be able to find clues. Han Jiangang also said just now that the net was collected in a hurry, Han Jiangang's single evacuation was blocked by Feng Junshan, and the gang wanted to evacuate all, which would inevitably leave clues.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming quietly continued to exert pressure, "Where to stay?" I'm afraid I won't even be able to find a single chicken feather at this time, right? He snorted again, "Where, let's hear it." ”
Han Jiangang hurriedly explained the location, the place was quite unfamiliar, Zhou Ming didn't know, and Feng Junshan didn't know very well, then a younger brother hurriedly said: "Brother Shan, I know this place, it's near my house." ”
"You guys go quickly, see if you can find any clues, the person is definitely gone, you may be able to gain by asking the neighbors," Feng Junshan hurriedly ordered when he heard this.
Zhou Ming's heart moved, "Brother Feng, I'll go over and have a look, Ling'er will stay here first." ”
"Okay, brother, don't worry," Feng Junshan nodded, "I'll interrogate this guy again." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming left the bedroom, went to the living room to tell Liu Ziling a few words, and followed Feng Junshan's younger brothers straight to the foothold that Han Jiangang said.
The so-called foothold is actually a courtyard in a town in the suburbs, with three floors, tall courtyard walls and iron gates that make this courtyard look a little more hidden, and it is impossible to find the scene inside from the outside.
A few people knocked on the door at the gate of the iron gate, but there was no response, and several younger brothers looked at Zhou Ming with their eyes, which meant to let Zhou Ming take the idea, just now they all noticed that Feng Junshan was quite polite to Zhou Ming, so although he didn't know Zhou Ming's identity, he still treated Zhou Ming as Feng Junshan's brother, after all, Feng Junshan was a brother just now.
Zhou Zhou Ming stepped forward and pushed the door, found that it was locked, and frowned and said to the little brother who led the way: "Please go around and inquire about the specific situation of this family, and the others will find a way to see if they can enter the courtyard." ”
At this time, a younger brother stood up, "This is simple," said and took out a bunch of keys and tinkered in the keyhole for a while, the originally sturdy iron gate was opened, and after pushing the door open, he smiled, "A little trick in the past, but now it is not often used, unless Brother Shan needs it." ”
Zhou Ming's heart was shocked, and he secretly said What is the identity of this Feng Junshan? Why do you have everyone under your command? If this is put in ancient times, it will be a character like a little Meng. But after thinking about it, the head snake naturally has the advantage of the head snake, and it is not surprising that there are a few such little brothers under him.
The inside of the gate was also quiet, and there was no response when a few people walked in, but it could be seen that the group of people was indeed retreating in a hurry, and all kinds of furniture and groceries were thrown everywhere. In the house, too, there were several plates of half-eaten leftovers and half a pot of rice on the coffee table, in addition to a half-packed suitcase that was not taken away.
Zhou Zhou Ming didn't use his hand directly, but picked it open with a wooden stick and looked at it, there were a few pieces of clothes inside, and there was nothing of value other than that. However, when he walked into a bedroom, the jade pen hidden in his arm began to heat up.
Monday's eyebrows jumped, and he looked in the direction of the jade pen of creation, and his eyes fell on a wooden dressing cabinet next to the door, which was inlaid with a large mirror, and on top of it were some bottles and jars, as well as a lipstick with a lid that had not had time to be closed, and it was obvious that there was once a woman living in this bedroom.
But this dresser looks ordinary, where does it look like there is a baby? Zhou Zhou Ming reached out and opened the drawer of the dresser, and immediately realized that it was this thing. The treasure in the drawer was none other than a bronze mirror, and it was clear that the owner of the bedroom was in a hurry to evacuate and forgot this bronze mirror in the dresser.
When he saw that bronze mirror, Zhou Zhou Ming chuckled in his heart, followed by a burst of intense ecstasy. Is this Hanjing? Looking at the bright bronze mirror without a trace of rust, Zhou Ming's hands almost trembled slightly, this is a bronze mirror of the Han Dynasty, and it is a relatively rare white light mirror.
In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Warring States period and even the Qin and Han dynasties and even the Sui and Tang dynasties, people like to use bronze mirrors for burial, so now there are some years of bronze mirrors on the market, most of them are unearthed, but the general bronze mirrors in the tomb pit because of the environment and other reasons, some will turn black, some will change into green rust, people will call these characteristics of the image of green lacquer, black lacquer ancient and so on.
In fact, the main reason is related to the storage environment of the copper mirror, the copper mirror preserved in the pure puddle is generally black, this kind of copper mirror is more common in the south; The green lacquer bronze mirror is more common near Lu Province, because the climate of Lu Province is relatively humid in the north and relatively dry in the south.
The best white light copper mirrors mainly appear in the north, such as the copper mirrors unearthed in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, there are many white light copper mirrors. Because the white light copper mirror is better preserved in the environment, it is almost the same as the new one after it is unearthed, and the mirror surface is bright and bright, although it is not as clear as the glass mirror, but it is also very clear and can be used normally.
However, the collection of bronze mirrors is not simply to look at the color of the appearance, people prefer to look at the back of the copper mirror, that is, the pattern on the back of the copper mirror. Bronze mirrors of different eras, the patterns on the back have different characteristics and styles, the clarity of the pattern and the complexity of the delicate process are different, and the collection value is also different.
Of course, the size of the copper mirror also refers to a point that collectors are more concerned about, after all, the amount of copper mirrors in the world is too large, and the small copper mirrors are countless, and ordinary small copper mirrors can be bought for 350,000 yuan.
The Han mirror in front of Zhou Ming was different, with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, and he measured it with his hand, and there was a little more, that is, about 25 centimeters, which is not a small size.
In addition to the size, what made Zhou Ming even more excited was that there was no pattern on the back of the Han mirror, and the pattern was a double pattern. The so-called kui, the main form is similar to a snake, mostly a horn, a foot, the mouth is open, the tail is rolled, and the kui pattern is mainly used for the feet, the edge of the mouth and the waist of the utensils such as Gui, 卣, Yao, Yi and Zun for decoration, and it is more common in the early Shang and Western Zhou dynasties.
In the Han Dynasty, the geometric pattern did not change much, but when used on the bronze mirror, the image of the pattern has undergone some changes, and it has become an image similar to the dragon.
For example, the one in front of Zhou Ming's eyes can be called a double dragon pattern mirror.
The content of the pattern of the bronze mirror is not particularly important, but the important thing is the clarity of the pattern and the exquisite process. The double dragon pattern of this bronze mirror is in the form of a high-relief table, the lines are very clear, and even the very fine dragon whiskers can be seen clearly, and there is no slightest blur in the combination of relief and mirror.
This is the mirror of the head mold, and Zhou Ming gently stroked the clear pattern on the back of the bronze mirror. The so-called head mold is the copper mirror cast in the first furnace. Because the copper mirror is poured with a mold, the mold is still very clean when the first furnace is cast, there is no impurities in it, and the cast copper mirror is very complete, and the pattern is also very clear.
When the second furnace or later batches are reached, the mold will have some flaws, or will be contaminated with some impurities such as copper slag, so that the cast copper mirror will not be complete in shape, and the pattern will be relatively blurred.
Therefore, in the bronze mirror collection market, the market value of the head mold copper mirror is much higher than that of the second and third molds, and the market value of the four and five molds with less clear patterns is quite low.
At this time, the double dragon pattern mirror in Zhou Ming's hand is not only white, nor is it just the same, and the pattern is still high relief. In the past, because of the limitation of the casting process, the general copper mirror pattern is relatively shallow, like this high-relief copper mirror, even if it is two or three molds, the price will not be too low, because the high-relief pattern is relatively rare.
On this high-relief double dragon pattern mirror, Zhou Ming secretly estimated, the market value is about three million, this is still the reason why the price of the copper mirror has declined in recent years, if it is placed in the previous years when the copper mirror is on fire, it may not be able to take it down if it is four or five million at the auction.
The price of the bronze mirror will fall, not that people don't like to play with the copper mirror, but because the state has issued some regulations, the bronze mirror is not allowed to be auctioned, even if the transaction can only be traded in private, so that the bronze mirror is almost equivalent to withdrawing from the circulation market, there is no auction momentum, the price is naturally not so hot.
However, if you can meet a local tyrant buyer who you really like, it is still possible to sell it at a high price.
This unexpected gain, so that Zhou Ming's depression in his heart more or less alleviated, in terms of market value, he did not suffer, but really compared with Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi's two paintings, in terms of collection value, this mirror is still somewhat inferior.
With some regret in his heart, he sighed secretly, and after two laps around the house, there was no other gain, and Zhou Ming quietly left here with a few younger brothers of Feng Junshan.
When he went back, Feng Junshan was still asking Han Jiangang, wanting to get more information, and shook his head gently when he saw Zhou Ming coming back.
Feng Junshan has no way, and Zhou Ming has no good way, and he is not a professional in this area.
However, when Feng Junshan saw the bronze mirror in Zhou Ming's hand, he blinked his eyes and asked, "Brother, where did you get such a mirror from after going out for a while?" Is it a baby? ”
