The next day, after setting up the stall and cleaning up and going home, I went out to walk around again with nothing to do, and I really had nowhere to go, so I came to Qushui Pavilion to play chess with the old gentleman.

The old gentleman was walking with crutches in the yard, and Mr. Wu followed him with a nervous face, and I hurriedly ran over to replace Mr. Wu.

"My right leg was bitten by poison, and at first it hurt so much that I didn't dare to hit the ground, but now it's numb as if it wasn't my own leg, it seems that the venom has damaged the nerves, and I can't move at all, and I can't treat it by looking for famous doctors." The old gentleman's expression seemed to be reminiscing.

I could feel his struggle, the thud of the tiles he poked as he hit the ground, his forehead and back covered in sweat.

"Sir, why don't you use crutches?"

"I've been arrogant all my life, and when I'm old, I actually have this virtue, and I want to be back then... Don't mention it... Help me push the wheelchair over. ”

Helped the old gentleman to sit in a wheelchair: "It is said that home remedies cure serious diseases, and there are some home remedies in my hometown, wait for me to inquire and tell you." ”

"The young man has a heart, I'm old, I don't care if this leg is cured, as long as I can live a few more days in peace, I'll thank God, push me back to the house."

I pushed him into the house and he took a picture of my original ID and put the copy away.

"This is the key to the gate and your house, in addition to Mr. Wu and Dr. Song, he is in his 40s and is my personal doctor, thanks to him helping me stop the spread of the toxin all these years. He has something at home these days, and I asked him to deal with it and come back, so I think it should be done soon. Teacher Wu is mainly responsible for daily life, if you are off class or have something, someone will take care of you, and I will introduce you to you when the time comes. ”

I knew what the old gentleman meant, and said busily: "I'm single, I don't have many friends, I won't bring people here, I also like to be quiet, and playing chess with you more and watering the flowers and plants can better cultivate the heart." ”

"Well, good. Young people want to have a broad career, why do they think about retirement? Is it not going well at work? ”

"It's hard to put into words."

"Then don't say it, come, set up the chess game, show the fighting spirit, young people should have the strategy and domineering to command a million soldiers, and also have the pride and ambition to fight bravely! Otherwise, at my age, I wouldn't be able to toss around. ”

The old gentleman continued: "Life has ups and downs, it is commonplace, no matter how big the wind and waves, there are huge ships sailing, and even the dry desert camels can set foot on it. No matter what you have experienced, don't be pessimistic, there are solutions to the problem from top to bottom, it depends on whether you have the heart to find out. ”

The old gentleman's words are very philosophical and intriguing.

I was thoughtful, although I didn't know the identity of the old gentleman, but the old gentleman was unusually wise, and his light and breezy posture revealed the air of a big man.

Thinking of the scene when I was fired from the company and deceived by the fat man, I lost my soul and searched for life and life, and even almost became world-weary because I was ashamed of my parents, his words were like a beacon in my gradually clogged heart, and suddenly pulled me back from the chaotic situation.

In life, if you can have pride and ambition, you will be earth-shattering, and if you can have broad benevolence, you will never be humble and live! The old gentleman sent me this sentence, I have a particularly deep memory of this day, since this day from this yard, I found a different life in another field!

I asked the old gentleman where he had retired, and he said that he was the director of the museum.

No wonder there are so many collections in the house, although I don't know how to identify, but I expect that some of the vases, utensils, calligraphy and painting ornaments in this yard are precious antiques.

"Old gentleman, I'll play chess with you when I'm fine, and you can also teach me antique appraisal."

"Do you also want to find a treasure in the cultural toy market?"

He continued: "Actually, there are no real antiques now, the antique market of Jinan size is full of fakes and fakes, and occasionally there is a small item, which is mostly ordinary items that are not worth spending money on collecting. Real antiques will never appear on the market, and you don't have to think about it anymore, this kind of psychology is easy to attract scammers.

I nodded again and again, the old gentleman was very talkative, he seemed to have a special kindness to me, and did not treat me as an outsider. He talked about it step by step, and I benefited a lot.

"The discipline of archaeological appraisal is boring and boring, and it is not a day's pain to make achievements, and I still feel like a layman after spending fifty or sixty years in the field of antique identification, so young people should do what they are good at. In my life, I have seen too many cases of families ruined because of antiques, and the psychology of getting rich overnight will hurt people. ”

"Old man, there are many skills that are not pressing, one more knowledge is one more skill, in case one day I happen to encounter ancient books and antiques, but I throw them away as a broken thing, it will not cause a huge loss to the country."

At this time, Mr. Wu invited the old man to dinner, and the old man checkmate me in three or two steps, and said: "Haha, eat, I have been with the old man for a morning, my brain is not tired, my stomach is tired, and I will talk about it when I am full!" ”

The food was very elegant, but the taste was excellent, but Mr. Wu did not serve it.

The old gentleman looked at me with a big bowl of grilled rice and asked, "Young man, don't eat it alone," said the big bowl in your hand. ”

I was stunned: No, is the big bowl for casual eating also an antique?

This big bowl is larger than the usual white porcelain bowl, with a large mouth and a small bottom, like a bucket hat, and the whole body is green, faintly revealing the ancient color.

I looked up at the bottom of the bowl and saw nothing.

"Old man, there is no money at the bottom of this bowl, I watch what Qianlong imperial system at the bottom of the bowl on TV, Wanli year, etc., why is this not?"

"Each dynasty has its own distinctive elements, which first come from the royal concept, especially the founding emperor's spirit, personality, preferences, comprehensive national strength, etc., and then by a group of literati and scholars to cooperate and promote, only to spread to every household in the land of China. Each antique has its own characteristics, such as porcelain, architecture, furniture, clothing, etc. ”

The old gentleman put down his chopsticks and continued: "Young man, what do you say is the most famous in the Song Dynasty? ”

I said in my heart, could it be that Zhao Kuangyin, the Yang family will be with Yue Fei? I knew it wasn't the answer, so I kept silent.

"Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is ambitious, he was born in a military family, Wen Tao is strategic, naturally broad-minded, and is not a person who is arbitrary and autocratic. He did not kill until he ascended the throne, so the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty was supported by the world, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment in such a situation. ”

I nodded my head again and again, and my heart was enlightened.

The Song Dynasty was powerful, and Zhao Kuangyin was a famous Ming monarch in history. The Great Song Dynasty under his rule was peaceful, and the people would inevitably pursue the spiritual realm after living and working in peace and contentment. Representing the highest height of the spiritual field of a dynasty is culture, the Song Dynasty emerged countless poets and scholars, literati and scholars are the mainstream of society, indeed, the most famous in the Song Dynasty is poetry, and poetry represents the elegance of solitude, so the porcelain architecture and home furnishings of the Song Dynasty are characterized by simplicity and elegance.

"Old man, I seem to understand a little, what you mean is that as long as you find out the different temperament attributes of each dynasty, you can have a basic judgment on the items of the current dynasty!"

The old gentleman curled his beard and nodded: "It is far from being so simple, but this is the introduction, and there must be more detailed evidence to judge the authenticity and value of antiques." This is not only to be familiar with history, but also to know the current market situation well, otherwise the high price can not be sold, is it not smashed in the hands? ”

He continued: "Then I continue to ask you, can you tell from this bowl what dynasty it came from the Song Dynasty, whether it is a private or official money, and how much is it worth?" ”

I'm so black-haired that I can't guess anyway.

Thinking of the old gentleman's prominent status, it is definitely not a vulgar product, so he replied: "This bowl is delicate and warm, such as porcelain and jade, it should be an official model, the shape is generous and decent, and the thickness is moderate, probably the late Northern Song Dynasty, I have no idea the price at all." ”

"Hehe, the young man is smart and reasoning is very strong, but you just said the opposite, this is the early Northern Song Dynasty, but the price is expensive, and when you finish eating, you will see the special at the bottom of the bowl. Just imagine, the new emperor Mingjun will definitely not be corrupt and degenerate as soon as he ascends to the throne, and they will definitely achieve the ruling concept that the whole world is not the king's land, and the king's land loves the people. When a society has strict laws and harmonious politics, the earlier it is, the more high-quality it is. Of course, it is not that the later period is not a fine product, the later period of each dynasty will inevitably be corrupt and the people will not be able to make a living, and the limited materials are mostly concentrated in the upper class, and the porcelain at that time is mostly expensive, and the most significant feature is 'thin', it is not easy to use and collect, so the price will be higher. But this bowl belongs to the early Northern Song Dynasty, and the price is 90-1.2 million. ”

I almost sprayed rice, I didn't expect this bowl to be worth so much! I hurriedly finished pulling the rice, and although the bottom of the bowl was small, I could clearly see that the bottom of the bowl was very freehand to draw a pond, and there were several swimming fish in the water, and children were playing under the weeping willows on the shore, and the fish and willow children seemed to be alive.

The picture is warm, simple and natural.

"This is the value of this bowl, which can paint a story-like picture at the bottom of a small bowl, and the color is harmonious and natural, and the firing process is excellent, which is a technology that only Longquan kiln has."

I still haven't come to my senses, and this bowl has hit me too hard.

"Imitation, really in the museum."

"Well, I'll have another bowl then."

After eating, I discussed a lot of questions with the old gentleman, the old gentleman loves to drink tea, and let me have a new understanding in the field of tea sets.

The old gentleman said that China has a long history, countless dynasties have changed, countless treasures have been buried by feudal thoughts, and even the Palace Museum in Beijing is only a drop in the ocean in the vast history.

I can't help but feel the same way, feudal society emphasizes heirlooms and thick burials, but the history is long, the world changes, and how many treasures can be passed on for a hundred years? Fortunately, there is also the custom of thick burial to preserve countless precious collections, although tomb robbery is rampant in history, but it is not because of this that the archaeological institutions in various places have announced the past events underground to the public, showing the splendid history and culture of ancient times.

"Old gentleman, I have watched the treasure appreciation program of CCTV a few times, and those treasure holders all say that their items are family heirlooms, and I guess they should also buy them from cultural relics dealers, do you say that there are still tomb robbers? If there were no tomb robbers, who would be willing to show off their family treasures? ”

The old gentleman turned his head to look at me, and he said softly: "The righteous may not be righteous, and the evil may not be evil. ”

He continued: "There is a mistake in robbing tombs, but like archaeologists, they all promote and restore history. ”
