Update time:2013-11-1217:06:04272.Chapter 272 The relationship between Xu Yang and the old dean
Gong loses white, also known as Lu Bai. It is the name of the old director of the orphanage, and speaking of which, Xu Yang really has some relationship with this deceased old man! Tang Lao studied under this old man when he was young. The relationship is just like Xu Yang and the current Donald, there is no master and apprentice in the name of master and apprentice.
Xu Yang listened to Donald talk about the things of the year, in that **** generation, Tang Lao was still a pawnshop guy at that time, in that era, the pawnshop can be said to be the place with the most antique circulation. Donald is young and studious, so many people in the pawnshop are willing to teach him both hands.
After a long time, Donald's eyesight and knowledge have slowly become very strong, and the reason for knowing the old dean of the public is that this old man's family should be very good, and he often goes to the pawnshop to collect things. After coming and going, this old man and Donald are familiar with each other, and for Donald, a sweet-mouthed and hard-working young man, the old man also likes it very much, so when he is fine, he will give a few pointers.
Later, every time the old man came to ask Donald to help, sometimes when the delivery was also sent to Donald, slowly Donald didn't know when the relationship with the old man was good, and when he was okay at night, Tang Lao would go to the old man to learn things. In fact, at that time, the old man was only in his forties, and Donald was a young man.
Until after the liberation, the relationship between the two was close to that of master and apprentice, and it was also during this time that Donald's knowledge of antiques grew by leaps and bounds, and in Donald's heart, this old man was his master.
I remember that after the liberation, the night before the old man left, Tang Lao didn't know that the old man drank a lot of wine that night, and Tang Lao remembered that the old man said that he was a descendant of Luban. It's a pity that he was ashamed of his ancestors and so on, and then disappeared the next day, and he saw these four boxes once in the old man's house.
After listening to Old Tang's words, Xu Yangxin sighed a little, it turned out that he and this old man still have this relationship. Then it seems that these people should be said to be tied to themselves like fate.
"Old Tang, is it because of the relationship between these four boxes and the old man that you are excited?"
"Yes and no!" said Donald. Then he continued: "Actually, yes, that's because I haven't seen his old man since then, I'm so old, it is estimated that his old man has long been riding a crane." If not, it's because these four chests have their own name. ”
These words made Xu Yang interested, and he immediately asked, "What's the name?"
"Hehe, your expression is the same as when I saw it back then. In fact, these four boxes are objects from the Cixi period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and they are not very far away in terms of year, but some good things cannot be seen by year.
Let me start by telling you about wood. Do you also pay attention to the aroma of these four boxes, that is because these four boxes are carved from agarwood, the whole body of agarwood, the agarwood in the Qi Nan agarwood. According to the current market price of nearly 1,000 yuan per gram, there is also agarwood with no market price. You can imagine the value. ”
Xu Yang is now looking at the four boxes with "gold" light in his eyes, damn it, it turns out that this box is also valuable. One gram of one thousand, so how many grams do these four chews cost...... Just when Xu Yang was thinking wildly, he was woken up by Donald, glared at Xu Yang angrily, and then continued: "Actually, this is only the material. If you ask others, not many people really know about this box, but I think I am the only one who knows about it, except for the old man who passed away.
The old man told me that these four boxes were carved by his grandfather, and it is said that on Cixi's birthday, there was a thousand-year-old agarwood that an official paid tribute!
Agarwood has many uses, medical: agarwood smell aromatic, pungent, slightly warm, non-toxic, with qi analgesia, warm stop vomiting, breath and asthma and other effects, often used in the treatment of qi reversal chest full, wheezing angina, accumulation of ruffian, stomach cold vomiting, cholera, men's cold, vicious qi and sores and other symptoms.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, incense burning is a "scent therapy" in external treatment. Agarwood blocks do not have open flames. Slowly burning will turn black and charcoal, smoke out of the curling white smoke aroma overflowing, the use of the smell of combustion, can be immune to evil spirits, sterilization and disinfection, awakening and intellectual, health care, it is said that there are also anti-mosquito, moisture-proof and other effects, so it is favored by people. In the past, people used to smoke agarwood to ward off evil spirits, remove filth, and exorcise ghosts, which is actually the truth.
Beauty: In cosmetics, agarwood occupies an important position, it is a fragrance fixative for various high-grade spices and beauty products. Agarwood not only moisturizes and comforts the skin, but also removes stains that are difficult to remove, and only a very small amount of agarwood essence can keep the flavor of perfume and fat powder longer.
No matter what it is, it is very much liked by Cixi, and at that time Cixi had a celestial master by her side, Jin Yan said: "The heavenly general of this thing is a symbol of the Qing Dynasty, peace and prosperity, therefore, such a treasure should be carved in the shape of the Old Summer Palace." ”
This sentence is also quite Cixi's favorite, such an agarwood must find the best carver in the world, and as a result, he found the grandfather of the old man, the descendant of Lu Ban, no one is more qualified than him.
The old man stayed in the palace for two years before the four chests were finally carved, which are the work of four true grandmasters, reproducing Lu Ban's peerless craftsmanship. I don't know what the contents of these boxes are, but I would say that these four boxes are definitely at the top. ”
Listening to Donald's words, Xu Yang was even more curious about these four boxes, and immediately began to scan and analyze these four boxes with his ability, but he didn't see anything strange, if he wanted to say something strange, it was that these four boxes were carved with the patterns of the four divine beasts inside and outside, which was understandable, and it was understandable that the royal family carved these four divine beasts, but the value was indeed very expensive, but what Tang Lao said just now was not a little big.
Xu Yang and Donald chatted for a while, and began to prepare to take out the things in the box and classify them, Xu Yang seems that the maintenance of these things is the problem, at present, porcelain, jade is easier to handle, but calligraphy, painting and bronze will be damaged if they are not handled well. Fortunately, this is the "Red Plum Hall", Xu Yang took out the phone and said his request, and soon, according to Xu Yang's request, this basement began to put things.
Donald looked at the things he moved in, his eyelids jumped, these things are indeed the best things to maintain antiques. But that's a really high value.
Xu Yang didn't care, and then opened the box containing porcelain first. Tang Lao and Xu Yang were amazed again, and when all forty-three pieces of porcelain were taken out, Xu Yang and Tang Lao sighed for a while. These porcelains can already be said to be the history of the development of porcelain.
Ru kiln, official kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln and Ding kiln, the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, one can be said to be the will of every Tibetan friend, here five pieces of brushes are placed there.
Blue and white porcelain, Tang Sancai, pastel, enamel color of later generations! Forty-three pieces of porcelain are all available, and it can be said that if these forty-three pieces of porcelain come out, it will definitely be a big sensation.
There was no time to sigh and move on to the second sip of the box. This box is jade. There are a lot of large and small objects in this box, there are hundreds of pieces, the small ones have jade pendant jade buckles, and the big ones have jade carved jade walls! Compared with jade, there are no surprises, the only sigh is that there are really many types, jade, sheep fat jade, bloodstone, agate, diamonds, etc. But Xu Yang didn't have the same surprise as just now.
The third box is the highlight of today, bronze, the things here are indeed good things, only a dozen, but don't look small, which one is heavy, which is mainly bronze, and two bronze mirrors in the Tang Dynasty.
The fly in the ointment is that there is no Xuande furnace, which is the only thing that Xu Yang regrets! Everything can't be too perfect. Taking the bronze tripod of the Shang Dynasty as an example, Tang Lao told Xu Yang that there are only three pieces in the country and even the world, including yours, one in the Forbidden City and one in the famous museum. Be content, little one!
The fourth box is the calligraphy and painting of ancient celebrities. This thing Xu Yang is eyes are dark, although it has also been made up for two days, but it seems to have no effect, compared to jade, porcelain, his ability seems to be very "resistant" to calligraphy and painting.
Looking at the embarrassed Xu Yang, of course Tang Lao knew about Xu Yang, smiled and shook his head, he felt that this was normal, if Xu Yang could do anything, he would do anything, that would indeed make people have a sense of distance, and now Xu Yang's performance in calligraphy and painting, Tang Lao also proved that there is no perfect person in the world.
First took out a picture scroll, Xu Yang and Tang Lao slowly unfolded the picture scroll, a piece of ink and blue appeared in front of Xu Yang's eyes, in Xu Yang's eyes, he couldn't tell the good from the bad, he felt the same, but Tang Lao was really excited again, Xu Yang was afraid that this old man was excited too many times today, and then something happened, then it would be a sin.
"Donald, why is this painting so famous?" asked Xu Yang.
"If you kid put his talent in jade in calligraphy and painting, you won't ask such an idiotic question at all. Xu Yang was embarrassed by what Tang Lao said, in fact, he also wanted to know why he didn't have any talent for calligraphy and painting, thinking that he had painted Su Sao at the beginning.
"You must know about a person, Li Shimin, you know!" Xu Yang nodded, how could he not know the greatest emperor of China.
After seeing Xu Yang nodding, Tang Lao said again: "Do you know that one of his officials at that time was named Yan Liben?"
Damn! The painting saint of the Tang Dynasty, Yan Liben, knows it himself in Xiaobai, can it be ......
"It seems that you know, that's right, this painting is painted by Yan Liben recorded in the history books, Taizong Autumn Hunting Map!
This painting has disappeared for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to see the light of day today. Many imitators in later generations only knew when they saw the real thing that they imitated the imitation of the thing, and the image was just the image......"
