Wen Yiming stood up, curiously followed Bai Jing to the back study, the old man also played collecting?

The two came to the study, and before they entered the door, they already knew the answer, and said secretly: "I didn't expect the old man to be a fellow believer?"

Bai Jing asked Wen Yiming to sit down, turned around and took out a few square boxes from the cabinet, carefully placed them on the table, and said with a smile: "There is nothing else good for the old man, he only likes snuff bottles in his life, and it can be regarded as a little bit of incense, please take a look at it." ”

After speaking, I opened the box, and my eyes lit up, and there were eight or nine snuff bottles in it, all kinds of materials, colorful, and very beautiful.

Wen Yiming picked up a white jade snuff bottle, soft in his hand, like mutton fat, opened the lid of the red coral, looked at the bottom of the inside, and said in surprise: "This is a void fast...... Pang Yuanji!"

Bai Jing laughed, and said with a smug face: "Pang Yuanji, the word Laichen, the number is Xuzhai." A native of Nanxun, Wuxing, Zhejiang. It is known as the world's most famous collector of paintings and calligraphy. ”

His father, Pang Yunhong, is a huge rich man in Nanxun Town and one of the four elephants in Nanxun. Pang Yuanji was good at calligraphy and painting in his early years, and often copied the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities in Qianlong and Jiaqing, and later engaged in calligraphy and painting trading. He has both financial resources and good connoisseurship, and has collected bronze, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, snuff bottles and other cultural relics, especially calligraphy and painting, and is one of the famous collectors of calligraphy and painting in the country. ”

Wen Yiming picked up another jade pot and continued: "The characteristics of the Ponzi collection of paintings: first, the famous objects of the past dynasties are more uniform, the collection is rich in things, basically the calligraphy and painting masters of the previous generation of Bohua in the Chinese period have their collection of works on behalf of the Bo, especially the works of the four museums of Wumen; ”

Yuan Ni Zhan's "Fishing Village Autumn Dew Picture Axis", Qian Xuan's "Fuyu Mountain Residence Picture Axis", Ren Renfa's "Autumn Water Heron Picture Axis", Wang Mian's "Mohai Chart Axis", Ke Jiusi's "Double Bamboo Picture Axis", Ming Daijin's "Imitation Yan Wengui Landscape Axis", Tang Yinchun's "Mountain Companion Picture Axis", Wen Zhengming's "Shihu Qingsheng Picture Axis", Qiu Ying's "Liuxia Mianqin Picture Axis", Qing Wuli's "Hutian Spring Color Picture Axis" and so on are all treasures that have been handed down. Thousands of heavy weapons, the highest private in the country. ”

Looking at a large box full of Xuzhai snuff bottles, I couldn't help but sigh: "You have a unique vision, the world knows that Pang Yuanji's collection of calligraphy and painting is the first in the world, but he has three other collections that are even more wonderful." The first is the purple clay pot, whether it is Shao Daheng, Chen Mingyuan, or Chen Mansheng, hundreds of master pots; the second is the copper furnace, the copper kettle has been collected in the past dynasties; the third is the snuff bottle, hundreds of fine products, foreign and grandiose. ”

Wen Yiming has been studying modern collections recently, and naturally admires the master of Xuzhai very much, and has collected countless collections throughout his life, and no one knows how many collections he has. Each of the six major collectors of the Republic of China was a top figure, but he recognized Pang Yuanji as the boss with a unified voice, which shows his awesomeness.

"If Pang Yuanji lives until now, he can run three or four museums, and he is definitely a great man!"

If we really compare with our predecessors, the so-called collectors are not worth mentioning, what is the concept of thousands of ancient paintings?

Moreover, the collectors of the Republic of China were at least called paintings before the Qing Dynasty, and only the four kings and four monks in the Qing Dynasty could be seen, and other people did not collect them at all!

Pang Yuanji and Zhang Boju only accept Song and Yuan Dynasty paintings and calligraphy, Zhang Boju donated hundreds of heavy weapons to the Forbidden City at one time before his death, all of which are national treasures, that is called magnanimity!

Bai Jing didn't expect Wen Yiming to be very proficient in snuff bottles, and said excitedly: "Zhao Ruzhen pointed out in the book "Identifying Snuff Bottles": There are two things to pay attention to in the identification of antiques: one is to distinguish their authenticity, and the other is to identify their advantages and disadvantages. ”

"Determining the authenticity first, and then identifying its merits, is a routine procedure for artifact identification. This is true for all antique artifacts, without exception. However, the identification of snuff bottles is different, it is enough to identify the quality of the organ, and it is not necessary to verify its authenticity. ”

"The preciousness of the cigarette bottle depends entirely on the quality of the material and the thickness of the workmanship, and has nothing to do with the age of production and the owner of the production. If the material is indeed rare and ingenious, no matter when it was produced, no matter who it came from, it is also of the highest quality. ”

"The material is ordinary, the workmanship is average, even if it is made by the Kangyong Dynasty and used by the Kangyong Emperor, it is not valuable. The material cannot be faked, and the workmanship is difficult to hide. Counterfeiting can not get a good price, but also can not deceive the world, so the cigarette bottle is counterfeited, and nothing is found, so that the counterfeit snuff bottle is extremely rare. ”

"Even if it happens by chance, anyone can tell it. It is for these reasons that the authenticity of the cigarette bottle does not need to be paid great attention to, and the identification of the cigarette bottle only needs to examine its advantages and disadvantages. ”

After speaking, he picked up a red snuff bottle and said: "Tourmaline snuff bottle looks at the texture, the tourmaline ribbon changes more, there are longitudinal lines on the crystal surface, all the good products, the internal color of the body of the pot is uniform, less cotton willow, and high transparency." ”

"Some tourmaline snuff bottles are cloud-shaped, not uniform in color, nor bright, and are defective. Cixi was particularly fond of tourmaline, which became popular for a while, and the price increased day by day. Since her death, tourmaline's status has plummeted. ”

Then he turned around and took out two small boxes from the bookcase, which were extremely delicate, opened them gently, and there was a snuff bottle in it, and cherished it: "The most exquisite porcelain snuff bottle in the Qing Dynasty is Gu Yuexuan, but how is Gu Yuexuan? Some people say that it is a name in the Qing Palace, some people say that it is located in the Old Summer Palace, and the descendants have visited it many times, but there is no trace of it. ”

Some people also say that it is the place where the Qing court collected the fine porcelain of the past dynasties, and some people say that it refers to a painter surnamed Hu, who was brought back to the capital by Qianlong when he saw that the porcelain and snuff bottles made by his own small workshop were extremely exquisite, so he brought them back to the capital and took charge of the imperial kiln. ”

"Fan Gu Yuexuan must be a pile of materials, and it must be covered with enamel glaze and enamel color. The enamel of the Qing Dynasty is a special product of the Qianlong period, many small flat circles, different floral patterns are painted throughout, some add calligraphy and Ji Chinese characters, but rarely paint landscape figures. ”

"The floral pattern should be delicate and complex, and the color should be fresh and layered, and there should be no scratches or peeling marks. Qianlong year system has a four-character style, with a blue book to imitate the Song style, very neat, imitation is difficult to achieve. ”

"The jade snuff bottle mainly looks at the material bubble, and the fake jade snuff bottle made of frit and pine spice lacks a sense of weight, the color is not clear, the transparency is poor, and there is no aura at all. ”

"If it's a frit, rub the surface of the pot hard and you'll notice fluffing. The most expensive jadeite of the jadeite snuff bottle is emerald, which is a deep green jadeite with a clear texture. It is followed by boxwood green, slightly yellow and green. Again it is spinach green, green like spinach. ”

Wen Yiming looked at the snuff bottles of various materials, his heart moved slightly, and his inspiration flashed, Hexiang is not only incense powder, but also other types, right?
