Chapter 65 Respect the Left
Mother Yue actually knows the temper of the old man, and she claims to be a cultural person, and she will not get angry easily, and a cultural person must have the bearing of a cultural person, but once the old man gets angry, it is not easy to extinguish.
For example, this time, it is estimated that his son has done something stupid, but at this time, Yue's mother still held on to a glimmer of hope and said: "Maybe, my son will be lucky this time, really, it's not impossible to buy a real Duan inkstone, this thing, who can say clearly, I watch TV, those bottles and jars and other things are very valuable, one may be hundreds of thousands of millions." ”
But having said that, even the mother-in-law herself is a little unconvinced, and it seems that this kind of thing has not happened to her son again.
After all, Song Jun is an outsider, and he sees it relatively clearly, and when he sees that the situation is not right, he immediately said: "Before you look at things, any conclusion is too early, how about taking a look at what the eldest brother bought first?" ”
Looking at the appearance of Yue Shanfeng's five big and three thick, Song Jun is not very good at what hope he has for this guy, such a person has always been the kind of person who almost understands the word stupid on his face in the antique market.
This is the most favorite type of antique dealer to flicker the object, with courage, courage, and blood, anyway, it is not impossible to identify a thing, and it is not impossible to gamble on it.
For example, this time Yue Shanfeng is estimated to be such a number one person, but what if, maybe just in case.
Song Jun's words still gave Yue Shanfeng, who was beaten by his own Lao Tzu, a step, and he immediately took over and said: "That's it, maybe it's like this, it's not necessarily, who said that I would definitely be fooled, there are so many leaks in the antique market, maybe it's really time for me to pick up the leaks." This time, I even found the next house, and the Duan Yan of Emperor Wanli is definitely not wrong. ”
Although Yue Shanfeng said so resolutely, Yue Dalin didn't even believe a word, not to mention anything else, just with his years of experience, this small box, which looks like it is filled with handicrafts, is also worthy of the Duan inkstone, let alone the Duan Yan of the Wanli Emperor.
Selling antiques, in fact, is generally very particular, what value of antiques with what kind of box, that is a common practice.
If it is said that Yue Shanfeng bought the Duan inkstone of the Wanli Emperor, then in such a situation, there should be no such a result of a paper box bearing, at least it is a mahogany box.
This is not entirely the importance of Wanli Duan inkstone, in fact, it is also a protective role.
If you say a paper box, maybe it will flatten something accidental, if you say a mahogany box or something, then the protection of the end inkstone is more beneficial.
Therefore, when Yue Dalin opened the box, he also had some confidence, the box was wrapped in several layers of newspaper, which is also the general preservation method of antiques, basically to prevent the rupture of antiques caused by collisions during transportation.
The vendors on the stalls often wrap it in newspapers, which is economical and effective.
Open the newspaper, see that it is indeed an inkstone, look at the appearance of this inkstone, the mountains and mountains, the splendid mountains and rivers, the rolling mountains and mountains have a lot of the world, including the artistic conception of it. The artistic value of the expression is quite high.
Moreover, this end of the inkstone is also carved with mountains and rivers splendid four words, the penmanship is rigorous, and there is a breath of power between the lines.
Looking at the carving technique, it can be regarded as a relatively sophisticated way, Yue Dalin took it and looked at it for a long time, and it felt very good, like an old object, but to be honest, he still had no bottom in his heart.
So he beckoned Gao Ming and asked Gao Ming to see how this thing was.
At this time, Gao Ming was also a little dumbfounded, this line, to be honest, he was really blind to this thing, and basically couldn't see any reason.
So he beckoned Song Jun and said, "Uncle Yue, my friend is a real expert, you better let him come and see how things are." ”
Yue Dalin then thought that his Daiyu funeral flower snuff bottle was a gadget found by the young man in front of him.
At that moment, Yue Dalin handed over Duan Yan to Song Jun, and Yue Shanfeng looked at Song Jun with expectant eyes, hoping to get some good news from Song Jun's mouth.
Song Jun took the Duan Yan and said: "If you want to say that the real Duan Yan is produced in the Zhaoqing area, there are old pits, pit rocks, Song pits, plum blossom pits, pockis pits and other pits. It is the three most important characteristics of the identification of Duan inkstone, this touch, not ordinary people can do, that must be a very experienced craftsman or master can have the ability.
Generally speaking, the combination of light and heavy, rigidity and softness is like our Tai Chi, which is a contradictory mixture.
There is a secret of our Donglin Village, which is to weigh the inkstone in the hand, which is not too heavy, but there is a feeling of pressing the hand, which is more reliable. Actually, I just watched this inkstone, and it's a little wrong.
Let's not talk about the characteristics of Duan Yan, just talk about the origin of this Duan Yan, Brother Yue said that this is the Duan Yan of Emperor Wanli, have you noticed the words on the side? On the left, Taiyue respects, and on the right, I wish my emperor a long life. ”
Yue Shanfeng also explained: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with this, Taiyue, the original seller said, this Taiyue is the word of Zhang Juzheng, the first auxiliary minister at that time, this is a gift from Zhang Juzheng to the emperor, and it is said to be a treasure to congratulate Emperor Wanli on his birthday." ”
Song Jun didn't say anything about the other characteristics of Duan Yan at all, but shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with Taiyue being Zhang Juzheng's word, but the mistake is that this Duan Yan is a birthday gift to the emperor." But you see, the side of this piece of inkstone is engraved on the left, in ancient times, the left was respected, you paid tribute to the emperor as a gift, do you see that if Zhang Juzheng paid tribute to the emperor's birthday gift, he dared to leave his name on the left and let the emperor on the right?
If this is in the Ming Dynasty, which attaches great importance to respecting the inferiority and etiquette, Zhang Juzheng will not lose and be destroyed by the emperor of the nine clans, even if the emperor does not say anything, the imperial historian will be able to make Zhang Juzheng ruined.
Moreover, Zhang Juzheng, a generation of famous ministers, the first auxiliary minister, and the way of being a minister, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
Therefore, I am sure that this is definitely not a congratulatory gift from Zhang Juzheng to Emperor Wanli, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would not be enough to cut even if he has nine lives. ”
In ancient times, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the right was respected, and from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the left was respected.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian people changed to respect the right, but in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Haozi changed the etiquette again, and they still respected the left, which was the case until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, if this inkstone was really a birthday gift from Zhang Juzheng to Emperor Wanli, he would never have made such a low-level mistake.
