To be honest, this seal was very shocked that it could experience the Battle of Jingyan in the early Ming Dynasty, and the fire in the later Zhengde period, plus the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty and was well preserved, not to mention Wang Xiangong, Chu Chen was also very surprised.

Liu Sizhe carefully observed the seal of the horse, and then said dumbfounded: "No matter how I look at it, I think this seal is real!" However, this is Zhu Biao's seal...... Wait, could it be that this seal was buried with it, so it was spared? ”

"It seems possible!" Wang Xiangong frowned and thought about it, thinking that it might be the reason.

Chu Chen shook his head: "I don't think it's like it, because if it's really a burial item, then there will always be traces of burial on the surface of the seal, right?" I think that during the Battle of Jingjing, someone took it out of the palace, and the possibility is relatively large. ”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with this explanation.

Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "Anyway, the seal is real, as for how it was handed down, we are not historians, why do we know so clearly?" As for the inheritance order theory that is now emerging in the antique market, that is, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise! ”

"You can't say that, the place that should be studied still needs to be studied, and the inheritance is orderly......" Speaking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

During this period, some so-called "experts" in the antique market hyped up the so-called orderly theory of cultural relics inheritance. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to turn some cultural relics that have not inherited stories into moving stories to people and collectors who do not know the truth.

This is similar to the storytelling of a hawker in an antique market. The purpose is to make more money from the hype.

Specifically, it is not the collusion between experts and certain treasure holders. Remote call corresponding. It is the collusion between certain experts and foreign antiquities dealers. So, driven by interests. Some cultural relics that do not know their origin want to make up beautiful and moving inheritance stories for the Chinese people to listen to, so as to achieve the purpose of hype.

A general manager of an auction company once said: "The most ordinary piece of Dingyao porcelain is dirty and old, but if it is seen in the market, every signature attached to the body will double its value, because it has witnessed the history from the Qing court collection to the present day, which is the market power of 'inheritance and order'." ”

In fact, speaking of which, a cultural relic and antique have been going down for hundreds or thousands of years. I don't know how many collectors have passed through it, and it is impossible to have a very detailed record, for example, will the museum still list all the collectors who have owned the collection?

Since even museums don't deliberately pursue any inheritance and order, then as a buyer, why bother with these things?

Buy antiques, don't listen to stories, this is something that many people know, so how to pay attention to this at a stall. But when it comes to the auction, many people are convinced? And, speaking of which, some people say that things are passed down in an orderly manner. But how much strong evidence can he produce?

Therefore, Chu Chen believes that what is true is true. If it's fake, then you can tell a good story. Nor can it be true from false. Even if it's true, it's better not to listen to those so-called stories. An ordinary antique, according to a beautiful story, the price will be a few percent more expensive, isn't this money unjustly paid?

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "It's okay to study it, but there is no clue about this thing!" ”

Duan Kun said: "Who said there is no clue, isn't Wang Xiaoshan's family a clue?" I'll call again later, and ask someone who will go tomorrow to help ask, maybe I can ask something! ”

Liu Sizhe sneered and said: "Come on, I think there is little hope, his family can even forget the mantra to open the box, how likely do you think it is to remember the origin of this seal?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "That being said, it's okay to ask, let's do our best to obey the destiny of heaven......

When the car arrived in Fucheng, everyone first found a place to live, and finally came to Fucheng, so they had to have a good time, but Wang Xiangong was ready to take the plane back to Beijing tomorrow morning because of something at home.

So, in the evening, everyone had a good meal of local food at the restaurant recommended by Duan Kun, and then because of the fatigue of the journey, everyone went to rest early.

The next day, bidding farewell to Wang Xiangong, Chu Chen and the others began to visit the second largest city in the Western Province.

Fucheng is a city with a long history and outstanding people. This is the hometown of the Yellow Emperor's concubine and the mother of silk, and the birthplace of Dayu. It has been unearthed here, the world's earliest human meridian model, and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in China.

Throughout the ages, this land has gathered humanities and talents, giving birth to Li Bai, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tong, Li Tiaoyuan, Sha Ting, Deng Jiaxian, Feng Dashi and countless other outstanding figures, Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, Jiang Wan, Song Zheyuan and Du Fu, Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, etc. have left important relics or works here.

As a city with splendid humanities and beautiful scenery, there are many places to play, but Chu Chen and the four of them are not very familiar with Fucheng, so they temporarily found a tour guide.

I followed the tour guide to play in the scenic spots in Fucheng City for a day, but the next day, the four of them did not continue to play, because yesterday I heard the tour guide say that today is Saturday, and the antique market in Fucheng has a rush (catch-up) this morning.

As practitioners and lovers of the antique industry, Chu Chen and they certainly couldn't miss such an opportunity, so the four of them got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, Hu Yong drove them and asked for directions a few times and finally found the antique market that the tour guide said.

According to yesterday's tour guide, this antique market was officially opened in 1995, although the place is not large, and there are only about 50 stores, but the popularity here is very high.

When the four of them arrived there, they found that it was indeed as the tour guide said, crowded with people, with many stalls, including porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, coins, jade, miscellaneous, etc., which can be described as everything.

Seeing this, except for Hu Yong, the other three became excited. But antiques are like this, almost nine out of ten are fake, and after the three of them saw a few things, their hearts gradually calmed down.

On such an occasion, the vendor who shovels the land must be indispensable.

The so-called shoveling of land is a person who does not open a store by himself, runs to the countryside to receive goods, or robs ancient tombs. After they got their things, they sold them to various merchants, or they sold them in the market, and the people in the industry called them "guerrillas", also known as "shoveling land", or simply "shovels".

The composition of the shovels is relatively simple, almost all of them are natives of the countryside, or they are harvesting rags, or they are wandering lazy people, and one day they see that the antique business is very profitable, so they are infected and enter. Of course, there are also those who are influenced by relatives and friends to learn art.

Generally speaking, some of the more professional shovels, the road is familiar, for where to love things and where there are better goods that can not be bought, of course, such news is generally kept secret to peers. The reason is very simple, if you sue others, you have to fight for business, and it is very likely that the owner will be shocked, and the things will not be able to be bought.

Generally, shovels have been going around the countryside all year round, and most of the goods received are low-grade goods, why is this happening? The reason is equally simple, there are few good things in the world, and although the countryside is vast, it has always been an economically backward concentrated area.

Even if there are a few wealthy people, most of them are landlords who collect some rent to live a tight life, and they have neither the strength nor the interest to spend a lot of money to buy good things and put them at home. In addition, the rural areas are vast and the security is poor, and if there are really good things, if they are known by bandits, they will be ruined and killed, so most of the people scattered in the countryside are big road goods and tattered goods.

Of course, after all, the countryside is so big, and it can't be said that there are no good things at all, but the shovels all have a common characteristic, which is basically the arrival of goods and the small operation. Some discerning shops go to them to receive goods in the gap of the market, and some gain trust and friendship with each other, and take the initiative to call once they order a decent product.

For example, Chu Chen knows several professional shovelers, and if the other party has any good things, he will also contact him.

In view of the above reasons, after many shovels come to the market, most of the goods put out are garbage goods left after being selected by experts.

But if you are sparse, there will always be those who slip through the net, not to mention that there are many vendors who shovel the land, and the goods on it are full of tricks, and the so-called master of the antique shop will definitely not be as omniscient and all-powerful as Chu Chen, only in one or a few aspects, he generally has his weaknesses, so he has left a lot of opportunities.

For these opportunities, the talents who rush to Taobao in the market are happy to do so, and they are eager to get more opportunities.

Because he has been a hawker for nearly five years, Chu Chen has a little experience in distinguishing professional shovels, for example, the one in front of him, from the things on his stall and the communication with the customers around him, Chu Chen guessed that he should be a relatively senior professional shovel.

Generally, when a senior shovel comes to the scene, he will always bring some good goods, Chu Chen felt that they came early, and the other party might have goods, so he planned to take a look.

However, the stall owner was talking about business with others, and Chu Chen was going to take a look at the things on the stall first.

Since it is a shovel, it must be a variety of things, and the things on the stalls here are just like that, from porcelain vases and Buddha statues to small bracelet coins.

Of course, most of the things on the stall are ordinary, but there are not many fakes, which is also one of the reasons why Chu Chen thinks that the stall owner is a senior shovel.

"Brother Chen, what is this?" As soon as Chu Chen squatted down, Duan Kun found something he liked, handed it to Chu Chen and asked.

Chu Chen took the thing and looked at it, it turned out to be a pair of incense balls, and after looking at the things, he said casually:

"It's a pair of incense balls, if it's not expensive, you can buy it and give it to Zhenzhen." (To be continued......)
