Seeing this, the stall owner also realized that he estimated that he had said something wrong, so he humbly said to Chu Chen: "Little brother, I wonder if you can let me also increase my knowledge?" ”

"This should be a jade cow paperweight carefully carved by craftsmen in the Yuan Dynasty." Chu Chen smiled slightly

"What! Yuan Dynasty's? The stall owner asked, dumbfounded.

Chu Chen nodded and said: "This is indeed from the Yuan Dynasty, and the jade of the Yuan Dynasty has multiple layers of carving, round carving, high relief, bas-relief, etc., and these processes are combined with Yin line carving. Among them, the multi-layer carving technique can be said to have been exerted to the extreme in the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to carving a double-layer pattern on the plane, it can also be carved in multiple layers on the jade material, and the flowers can reach five or six layers, with clear layers and a strong perspective effect. ”

"And the craftsmanship style of jade in the Yuan Dynasty has tended to be rough, informal, carving likes to use deep marks to engrave lines, thick lines, so that the decoration is convex and high, but the lines are obvious, the lines are uneven, and there are often traces of out-of-control, which appear rough."

Speaking of this, he pointed to several places where the jade ox was in his hand and said, "You can see these places, all of which show the technological characteristics of jade in the Yuan Dynasty. Under the rough look, this jade cow does look a little rough, but the fine taste, a rough beauty arises spontaneously. ”

"This jade cow is depicted as a vivid image, the muscles of each part of the body are strong, the lines are sparse and dense, and the majestic state can be seen at a glance, which shows the superb level of craftsmen, therefore, I think this jade cow paperweight should be used by the nobles of the palace at that time."

"Good ......"

After listening to Chu Chen's wonderful explanation, the old man couldn't help but applaud: "Little brother is really an expert in this way!" ”

As the saying goes, a connoisseur makes a move. I know if there is one, and I listened to Chu Chen's explanation. The old man knew that Chu Chen had probably been immersed in this way for many years, which couldn't help but make the old man sigh. It's terrifying!

"Sir, you have won the award, I just have a little experience with these." Chu Chen said modestly.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, the stall owner also knew that he had missed the sale, but there was one place where he was still a little puzzled, so he asked: "Little brother, take the liberty of asking, what is the matter with this jade?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and explained, "It's very simple, this jade cow should have been an unearthed artifact in the first place. If you look closely, you will know that these are rust and soil Qin above, but after they were unearthed, I don't know why, the owner of the jade cow did not play with it, and now, at first glance, the jade quality is not very good. However, this kind of problem is also easy to solve, as long as you play carefully for a few months. can show the real jade quality inside. ”

"Little brother is right, so you have to look carefully." The old man agreed.

"That'...... I take the liberty of asking, how much is the market price of this thing worth? The stall owner asked weakly, what he wanted to know most now was how much he had sold. Don't want hundreds of thousands, that's really a loss to vomit blood.

"After all, the material is green and white jade, and it's not too expensive." The old man said, "Judging by the carver." Sixty or seventy thousand. ”

"Sixty or seventy thousand?!" Although he didn't lose hundreds of thousands, he worked hard. There may not be 60,000 or 70,000 yuan in a year, and this loss still makes the stall owner feel distressed.

Next. Chu Chen and the old man exchanged a few more polite words, exchanged business cards with each other, and left.

"Brother Chen, help me take a look at something in a while, I think it seems to be Hainan Huanghuali, but I'm not too proficient in Huanghuali, and I'm a little uncertain."

Liu Sizhe said as he walked, and took Chu Chen to a stall and saw the thing Liu Sizhe said.

Chu Chen looked down and saw that it was an arm rest, and the front of this vessel was carved with the pattern of three friends of the year, or with buds waiting to be released, or in full bloom, full of spring. The back of the arm rest is decorated with the pattern of flowing clouds and blessings, the cloud pattern is like wish, continuous, which means that it is wishful for a long time, and it also has the meaning of clouds and mist, and the bat is hidden in the clouds, implying that blessings fall from the sky, wishful happiness, and stretch endlessly.

The arm rest is the ancient humanities room supplies, which first appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the old days, the word was learned from right to left, from the top of the xiangxia, and the arm rest was used to prevent the sleeves from being stained with ink. The arm rest has gradually developed from a practical device to a thing for playing and ornamenting, reflecting the unique aesthetic taste of Chinese literati.

Chu Chen quietly put his arm on the rest of his arm, sniffed it again, and then asked Liu Sizhe with a smile: "How did you think of buying an arm to put back?" ”

Liu Sizhe said with a bitter face: "It's not because of Meimei, my dad called me last night, if you don't want your butt to bloom, you have to practice calligraphy for three months after you go home. ”

"Brother, you can see it accurately, this is a Hainan Huanghuali arm rest."

The stall owner has a good ear, listened to Liu Sizhe's words, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Let me tell you, this thing is something I finally asked for from an old lady, her ancestors were big officials, this thing has been passed down for hundreds of years, if you don't believe it, you can take a closer look at this carving, this pulp, such an old-fashioned, and exquisite Huanghuali arm rest, but rare!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's quite suitable to buy this thing back and put it on your arm, but if you use it to appreciate it, forget it." ”

"Hey, brother, what you said, why can't you appreciate such a beautiful ornament?" The stall owner said with some unhappiness.

"Oh, then how do I smell this thing a pungent sour scent?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

Hainan Huanghua pear has a unique mellow aroma, which is very unique, and this pungent sour fragrance can only be found on Vietnamese Huanghua pear.

The stall owner also has a thick skin, and said with a smile: "If the things are left for a long time, there will always be some taste, just buy it and take it home to maintain it." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Liu Sizhe immediately understood that the thing he liked should be a fake, so he chose another one to see the haode arm rest, and asked the stall owner: "Boss, how much is this?" ”

"You this, you are amazing, this is a very famous ...... in the Qing Dynasty"

Liu Sizhe waved his hand and interrupted: "Boss, tell me, where is this Zhidao person famous?" ”

"This ......," said the stall owner hesitantly, "since this person can leave a name, presumably his reputation is not much worse." ”

Chu Chen smiled secretly when he heard this, Liu Sizhe really asked right, this stall owner really didn't know who Zhidao was.

This week, Zhiyan's real name is Zhou Hao, the word Jinzhan, the number Xueqiao, and the number Zhiyan, and the Zhiyan, and the Zhiyan, Yaofeng Mountain People, Zhidao People, Zhisuo, Qiaosuo, because he has a beautiful beard, chic demeanor, and self-proclaimed "Hair Idiot".

Zhou Zhiyan is a bamboo carver of the Jiading School and Wu Zhifan. On the basis of Zhu's painting method of carving bamboo, he came up with more new ideas, and changed the previous method, usually based on bas-relief and flat carving, without borrowing sketches, and directly carving landscapes, trees and stones, and clumps of bamboo on the bamboo tube or bamboo piece with a knife, creating a concave and convex method.

This technique is what later generations called the "flat pattern carving method", and there are very few imitations later.

In "Bamboo Man Record", the Han and Tang poetry schools are compared to bamboo carving in the Qing Dynasty, and Zhou Zhiyan is compared to Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty, believing that he is the first person to create a new method of bamboo carving in the Qing Dynasty.

"Come on, there are a lot of names left in ancient times, is everyone famous?" Liu Sizhe sneered and said: "Don't fix these imaginary things, come to a real price, I don't want it if it's expensive!" ”

The stall owner said with a smile: "I'm a child, how can it be expensive, two thousand, how about it, cheap, right?" ”

Liu Sizhe was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was still very shocked: "What, two thousand? Just leave a name that can be worth two thousand, and I'm not a fool, no, I think five hundred is about the same. ”

"Brother, five hundred is too low, I ......"

While Liu Sizhe and the stall owner were bargaining there, Chu Chen looked at the things on the stall, but after a while, he was guided by Baojue, and his mind was attracted by something.

What attracted Chu Chen's attention was a scroll on a calligraphy and painting stall next to him, if this scroll was placed in a prominent position, then Chu Chen would not care, but this scroll was thrown by the stall owner in the middle of the pile of rags, which is interesting, could it be that this boss sold the real thing as an imitation?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen moved to the calligraphy and painting stall next to him.

The business of this calligraphy and painting stall looks deserted, in fact, this is normal, it is too dark in the ghost market, and it is not easy to verify the authenticity of calligraphy and painting.

The stall owner is a young man, and when he saw that the business came to the door, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother, it's not me who blows, I have a lot of good things, just pick what you like, and you are satisfied with the price." ”

Chu Chen didn't say anything, nodded at the stall owner, and looked at it to himself. However, he didn't look at the scroll that Bao Jue reacted to, it would be too obvious.

Unfolded a few pictures next to him and looked at them, Chu Chen found that they were all just prints, and they were shoddy prints, with no artistic beauty at all, but this was normal, otherwise these things would not have been piled up here so casually by the stall owner.

However, in this way, Chu Chen was more interested in that scroll, because in terms of its size, this work was likely to be a big omission.

Just as Chu Chen was about to pick up the scroll, the transaction had already been completed next to him, Liu Sizhe walked up to him and said hello: "Brother Chu, I'll go see if there is a haode brush." ”

"Okay, there you go!"

After Liu Sizhe left, Chu Chen picked up the scroll.

However, as soon as the work was in his hands, Chu Chen was shocked, what he didn't expect was that this scroll was actually still on silk, which means that the value of this work is not much lower just in terms of the carrier of calligraphy and painting. (To be continued......)
