301. a silkworm-shaped pot

"Master, can you give me a look?"

The second woman stepped forward, in her thirties, holding a flask in her hand. After saying that she would appreciate it to the master, she clearly hesitated, and finally handed it to Dai Qing.

Speaking of which, this flask is very different from other flasks in terms of shape, which can be said to be enough, when the lady presented this treasure, Dai Qing nodded first, and then put on gloves and started to touch this flask.

This is an old collection, about 30 centimeters high, the surface and the inside are the same, it cannot be said that the condition is not so good, and the reason is that this is a very old collection.

It is the head of the dragon for mentioning, the monkey sitting for the cover, the head of the chicken as the mouth, meaning (auspicious time to come), this shape in the Han Dynasty is the majority, used as a wine vessel, very few handed down.

Dai Qing didn't give in, and after appreciating it, he didn't show it to other masters, and said directly. "This lady, this collection of yours is a chicken head pot unearthed in the Han Dynasty, the meaning is very good, the chicken head out of the water is a mouth, it is an auspicious time. It's just that the condition is a little flawed, and the value can only be one-fifth of what it used to be. If I were to estimate it, it would be 1.5 million. ”

"That, Lao Dai, this chicken head pot is good, can I take a look?"

One and a half million, naturally can't get on the Doubao platform, Dong Biwu sat in the back row, he came to participate in the cultural relics exchange conference, if they are all appreciated like this, they will ask Tibetan friends to take it, they are not in vain.

After Dong Biwu finished speaking, Dai Qing glanced at the former and smiled, "Oh, are you??" ”

"Dong Biwu of Binhai."

"That little place, I know. You see, Xiao Dong, I appreciate this chicken head pot. I think it's better to save a little time, there are still a lot of treasures in the back. Alright, here you go! ”

Dai Qing still waved his hand and told the Tibetan friend to walk away.

Dong Biwu's face was waxy this time, and the whole person was as uncomfortable as wax.

He never thought that saying that this Dai Qing looked down on people, but he was too blind to anyone. said that I, Dong Biwu, have no identity, and the little people are called Xiao Dong by you. But we are a big city on the coast, and you even call it a small place?

Dong Biwu was deflated, and everyone didn't say much.

Mostly. This chicken head pot, Dai Qing's appreciation is also exactly the same, which is remarkable.

A chicken-headed pot, a chicken-headed pot from the Han Dynasty. One and a half million. This is due to the fact that his condition is not so perfect, if the whole product is preserved without flaws, it should be close to 10 million.

After this treasure, the appreciation became more and more intense, and the passion of the collectors became more and more intense, and from time to time, several connoisseurs had a fierce debate over a collection. Of course, it's mainly the first six.

Interestingly. In the process of appreciation, the six people in front also formed their own support camps.

Dong Biwu and Dong Lao, as the representative of Binhai, are in the same camp as Duan Shouhai and An Junshan, and resolutely confront Dai Qing.

Dai Qing is supported by the collection representative of the Northwest Region.

Yu Hui of Jiangnan seems to be calm and doesn't argue with a few people, but in fact, she is also establishing her own prestige and forming an alliance with several masters behind her.

A storm is on the verge of breaking out.

Despite many times of red-faced and red-eared, the masters will eventually come up with a suitable price, and in general, every Tibetan friend will be able to smoothly appreciate a price for their treasures.

Among them, there are also those who have been identified as fakes by the master connoisseurs on the spot, just now, an old man who is full of confidence and he presented the jade of the Longshan period that he has collected in the past few decades, but the size of each one is twice as large as the real Longshan jade.

The old man spent tens of millions of collections, and even borrowed a lot of money to engage in these collections, but he didn't expect that the collection he had always thought was a treasure, and in the end it was said that it was worthless by the masters.

The old man fainted on the spot, and the staff hurriedly notified his family and sent the old man to the hospital as soon as possible.

Collection needs to be cautious, it's really like this, people think that collecting leaks can make a fortune, but in the same way, if you don't know how to collect, you squeeze into this circle, and in the end you are injured, and the head that falls and the blood flows must not be someone else, but yourself.

There are naturally many collections of Tibetan friends, but in order to alleviate the tension just now, and also make the judges who are gradually not harmonious, the tension eased, the host proposed to ask the connoisseurs to take out their local treasures to share with everyone and appreciate each other.

Then, Dai Qing volunteered to stand up.

Dai Qing is the president of the Xijing Cultural Relics Appreciation Association, he can be said to be the host, and he naturally wants to take out the treasures of the mountain, logically speaking, this time the cultural relics exchange conference, he thinks that he should be sitting in the middle of the judges' seat, but Duan Shouhai and An Junshan, the two old guys, have refuted his face.

Dai Qing knew that they all thought that they were from the capital, so they were a little arrogant and aggressive. But our Xijing is also the ancient capital of all dynasties, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, which is not necessarily inferior to the capital. Especially in the cultural relics, do not let too much.

At this moment, he beckoned, the staff of the Cultural Relics Appreciation Association carried two pieces of pottery, these two pieces of pottery to say is not very tall, both are very characteristic silkworm-shaped pots in the Qin and Han dynasties, also known as "duck egg pot", because the shape of the vessel resembles a silkworm cocoon, and like a duck egg and get the name.

Its apparatus is lip-like, short-necked, ring-footed, and the abdomen is transversely oblong-oval.

The silkworm-shaped pot was originally produced by the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and later prevailed in the Western Han Dynasty.

The cocoon-shaped pot was used both as a container and as a ground burial ground during war, where it could be used to listen to the hooves of enemy cavalry in the distance.

It can be said that he can be used as a vessel in life as well as a tool in war.

The diameter of the abdomen of this large silkworm-shaped ampulla can reach fifty, and the small one is only about twenty. After it was presented, it did not cause an immediate uproar at the scene. There was even some snort.

Mainly, the silkworm-shaped pot is not a very valuable cultural relic, in the Qin Dynasty, there are more unearthed, as pottery, only gray pottery, white pottery products, far less than the Tang Dynasty painted pottery, or the Han Dynasty black pottery to be more famous.

It's just that no one at the scene dared to directly question it, and some were to save face for Dai Qing, such as Duan Lao and An Lao, because there were too many people in the collection circle. Some dare not question the more prestigious Dai Qing, hiding their doubts in their hearts, and they dare not speak out.

Dong Lao was underestimated just now, and he was already a little depressed in his heart, and when he saw the antiques prepared by Xijing, he couldn't pretend to be able to say it anymore.

"The silkworm-shaped pot of the Qin Dynasty, Lao Dai, are you going to ask us to appreciate your pair of treasures? Not bad. The typical pottery utensils of the Qin Dynasty include cocoon-shaped pots, pots, mustaches, kettles, bowls, beans, pots, urns, warehouses, etc. Many utensils have their own characteristics, such as your pair of silkworm-shaped pots, such a distinctive pottery can't say anything, only that it is okay, and can represent the culture of your metropolis. ”

Dai Qing disagreed, and he sneered. "Xiao Dong. I think your ability to appreciate is really evident. You really should learn from the masters of other cities. However, it is also understandable that the chairman of the literary association in a small place is different from that in a big city, and the connoisseurship world is already mixed and uneven. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Dong Lao was really angry.

Dai Qing said lightly. "I'm just talking about the facts. I'll teach you how to appreciate it. This pair of silkworm-shaped pots was made in the Qin Dynasty, yes. He embodied the craftsmanship of the time, and in the case of silkworm-shaped pots, there were colorful patterns on the ampulla and pottery inscriptions on the ampulla. What I want to say to you is that what makes these two pieces of pottery different is the pottery on it. ”

Dai Qing stepped forward and pointed to the pottery, "Half a year ago, these two pieces of pottery and a large number of pottery were unearthed in a tomb, yes, it is the well-known Qin tomb. However, this Qin tomb is not the main body of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, but about 5 kilometers away from the Qin Tomb. The level of these tombs is not high, but on some of the unearthed pottery, the pottery inscription of the character "Li" was found, which is of great significance for revealing the identity of the owner of the Qin tomb. ”

According to the "Historical Records", in the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, that is, in 231 BC, he placed Liyi near the emperor's tomb; In 35 years, 30,000 families immigrated to Liyi. There were craftsmen who built the Qin Tomb, people who supervised it, and people from the six countries of Kanto, and at the same time, there were also military institutions. ”

"As we all know, the tomb of the Qin Emperor unearthed is the imperial tomb, and this time the unearthed pottery found the word "Li" pottery, from which it can be preliminarily judged that the cemetery is an important small Qin cemetery subordinate to Liyi, which is for the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. ”

"These people are likely to be craftsmen who make terracotta warriors and horses and Qinling relics. Therefore, these two small silkworm-shaped pots and two pottery pieces are not the key, but the contemporary history we see through these two treasures, and a shocking treasure mystery that we see. We will begin to think, Qin Shi Huang built the Qin Mausoleum and set up "Liyi"? ”

"Why did he set up Liyi, and who are the people in Liyi? He will unravel one mystery after another, directly excavate the entire imperial court of a dynasty of the Qin Dynasty, and reproduce the civilization of an empire, including killing, domination, management, from the army, to life. ”

"The small two silkworm-shaped pots, which condense so much history and culture, completely reproduce a Qin Dynasty, how can you describe it in three simple words?"

Dai Qing said endlessly, and the momentum of verbal criticism and writing completely made Dong Biwu stunned and had no excuse.

"So, the connoisseurs from small places, the chairman of the Literary Association who comes is short-sighted and has an average level of appreciation, am I wrong?"

"If you disagree with me, and if I give you another chance to appreciate these two pieces of pottery, will you be able to see them all? Can you be sure that you can appreciate these two treasures in their entirety? (To be continued......)
