Liu Dake picked up the white jade in Wu Qiang's hand, checked it, and couldn't help but say, "Yo, your jade is quite heavy." Wu Qiang looked very fond and proud, and said with a smile: "If you can guess what kind of jade this is, and the age of this jade, I will give you this jade." After Liu Dake heard this, he felt even more surprised, and couldn't help but take a closer look. Liu Dake came into contact with jade for the first time, and he really didn't understand, but when he saw that the jade in front of him was heavier, and the workmanship was rougher, especially the patterns carved on it, like a pig and a snake, it was extremely ugly, and he felt that it was not worth a few dollars, but he thought that since Wu Qiang was so cherished as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, it must be expensive, so he said: "It's worth a few thousand, right?" ”

Wu Qiang saw that Liu Dake really didn't understand the ancient jade, so he wanted to put the ancient jade in his hand into his pocket. Liang Haixing, who had been standing aside, seemed to be very interested in the ancient jade in Wu Qiang's hand, so he stepped forward to find out. Calligraphy and painting are integrated, Liang Haixing has some research on painting, and seems to have heard of ancient jade. Liang Haixing stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw that the ancient jade in Wu Qiang's hand was a pig dragon carving, so he said, "This should be ancient jade." ”

Wu Qiang seemed to have finally met his bosom friend, so he handed the ancient jade in his hand to Liang Haixing, and said, "Hey, it's a little interesting, you take a closer look." ”

Liang Haixing took Wu Qiang's beloved Gu Yu and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Wu Qiang. Liang Haixing looked at Wu Qiang and said in a low voice: "Secretary, I said something wrong, don't blame me." ”

Wu Qiang didn't answer, and smiled slightly. Liang Haixing said boldly: "This should be the work of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Ah, you can even see which dynasty, it's amazing, what kind of material is this jade, if you say it all right, I'll give it to you." Wu Qiang looked at Liang Haixing and joked. It seemed that Liang Haixing was a little contemptuous, and after Wu Qiang finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Liang, you are really a monkey boxing, keep a small hand, I really don't see it usually, you still have research on jade?" Gao Yan also stepped forward and looked at the ancient jade road in Wu Qiang's hand.

Liang Haixing was a little embarrassed, glanced at Wu Qiang, and said in a low voice: "I usually like to read some books on ancient paintings, and I know some about some ancient paintings. In our country, the dragon is a totem, and no one has ever seen a real dragon, so people only depict it by their own impressions. As a totem, the dragon has also undergone a process of continuous development and evolution. In the Han Dynasty, the totem of the dragon was based on the shape of a pig and a snake, so it was also called a pig dragon. From this alone, I conclude that this jade should be the work of the Han Dynasty. But as for what material, I really can't say. To tell the truth, I can't even tell the difference between jade, jade, agate, crystal, and other jade materials. ”

Wu Qiang saw that Liang Haixing was talking from his heart, so he smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Liang is right, this piece of jade is ancient jade." Jade culture has a very long history in our country, and there has been jade since the Stone Age, and it has a history of more than 7,000 years now. In terms of age, ancient jade, mainly prehistoric jade, has a history of more than 7,000 years; Gao Guyu, the Xia and Shang periods, to the present nearly 3,000 years of history; Ancient jade, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, has a history of more than 2,000 years; Lao Yu, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China; The new jade is the jade produced in the Republic of China to the present. There is also a division, that is, with the Han Dynasty as the boundary, the Han Dynasty before the call Gao Gu Yu, the Han Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty called Gu Yu, the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China called the old jade, the current called new jade. This is not according to the length of time of jade production, mainly according to Chinese culture and jade production, the ancient jade before the late Qing Dynasty, basically carved by hand, after the late Qing Dynasty, began to use water machines to grind. The process has changed. Look at this jade, the carving is relatively rough, which is in line with the characteristics of handwork. In addition, this jade is very heavy and has a feeling of sinking hands, indicating that its density is very high. Also, you see this polish, it's like a layer of oil poured on it, and it's very fine in your hand. There is also what Xiao Liang said just now, this jade piece is carved with a pig dragon, a dragon totem during the Han Dynasty, plus this Qin color, so it is basically concluded that this is the Han Dynasty period, Hetian seed jade, which belongs to Gao Gu jade. ”

Liu Dake still wanted to take a closer look, and even wanted to remember it in his heart, but was put in his pocket by Wu Qiang. Liu Dake couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that this little jade contains such a deep culture." Wu Qiang said with a smile: "Jade culture has a long history in China. There have been many stories around jade in history, the most typical of which is the Warring States Period and the clan. Ha ha. Playing jade is a kind of mood, the ancients said, the gentleman and jade, there are seven virtues. ”

"Okay, Liang Haixing, you are really hidden, when will you teach us some jade knowledge. Maybe one day you will pick up a leak and make a windfall, and suddenly a pie will fall from the sky. Gao Yan looked at Liang Haixing and said. Liang Haixing was about to say something, but Wu Qiang glanced at Gao Yan and said, "Some time ago, I went to the province to report work, and the top leader of your husband's unit took your husband to the report meeting. I was a little strange at the time, I was familiar with the head of their unit. The top leader of your husband's unit spoke highly of your husband and told me privately that he was ready to promote your husband to deputy director, and he was also ready to vigorously train him as a reserve cadre of the unit. You husband and wife are really a model family, and they are both very good at learning and helping. ”

Everyone is talking about jade, why did you talk about my husband's coming? Are the two completely incompatible? Gao Yan said in his heart, looking at Wu Qiang with puzzled eyes.

Wu Qiang seemed to see Gao Yan's thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Since you have such an excellent husband, you don't need to come to the Wenyu market to pick up leaks, your husband is the biggest leak you pick up." ”

Actually, Wu Qiang's joke is very clear: The water is very deep in the cultural market, like you Gao Yan, it is impossible to pick up a leak in the cultural market, so take care of your husband. Gao Yan didn't know much about literary toys, naturally, she didn't understand the meaning of what Wu Qiang said, but when Wu Qiang talked about her husband, it made Gao Yan curious.

Gao Yan rarely communicates with her husband, so she naturally doesn't know everything about her husband now, and when she heard what Wu Qiang said, she felt a little confused, and said, "Do you know my husband?" ”

Wu Qiang said with a smile: "At first, I didn't know it, but it was introduced by their leader, saying that his lover had just come to Mashan to work on a temporary basis, and I thought of you and mentioned your name." ”

Gao Yan smiled slightly, didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart: His goal has really been achieved.

Liang Haixing glanced around, and then quietly touched Gao Yan's body, Gao Yan was stunned, looked at Liang Haixing with puzzled eyes, and Liang Haixing smiled mysteriously. Gao Yan suddenly seemed to understand something, and her face was full of helplessness.

Wu Qiang and his entourage talked and laughed all the way, and in a blink of an eye, a wide archway stood in front of them. The wide red lacquer archway is engraved with the "Mashan Cultural Market" that is said to be the inscription of Qianlong, which shows its style and rich cultural heritage. Wu Qiang stopped, looked around, looked at the archway in front of him and said, "The real Mashan Cultural Market has arrived." After listening to Wu Qiang's explanation, everyone was puzzled: before entering the alley, there was an arch on which "Mashan Cultural Market" was clearly written. Passing by an alley, walking into the vermilion gate, on the back wall, it still says "Mashan Cultural Market", and in front of you, another archway says "Mashan Cultural Market", how can it really enter the cultural market now?

Wu Qiang seemed to see everyone's thoughts, and said with a smile: "If you don't know about the Mashan Cultural Market, you are really confused, how can you have three doors?" In fact, it is very particular here, and it all shows the ancient culture of China. The ancients said: Self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world. The ancients had a very important concept of home. Mashan Cultural Market, built in imitation of home. The first gate, called the alley door, tells you that you are almost home; The second gate, called the door of the house, has a shadow back wall; The third door, called the house door, tells the guest that they have entered the house. ”

After listening to Wu Qiang's introduction, everyone couldn't help but be amazed. Wu Qiang looked at the archway in front of him and said: "It is said that when the cultural market was first built, there was a wonderful story. In that year, Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and saw that the mountains here were high and the forests were dense, and the clear water in the river was rippling, and the scenery was excellent. I also heard that Mashan is called an ancient cultural city, so I wandered around the city and found that there was no cultural monument, so I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, so I sighed that 'it was in vain'. When the local officials heard this, they couldn't help but feel ashamed. Local artists were temporarily organized, stalls were set up here, and a cultural market was established. Later, it continued to grow and develop, and after hundreds of years of development, it became the current scale. ”

Wu Qiang said and walked towards the cultural market.

The cultural market is very large, with two circular structures and two rows of shops that open to each other, dividing the cultural market into three wide streets, which are much more crowded because of the large number of customers. The stalls in front of the shops and on both sides of the street are filled with all kinds of antiques, dazzling and dizzying, similar to what you see before entering the cultural market, only a little more refined.

"The things in the shops on both sides of this stall are relatively high-end, and naturally the price is more expensive." Wu Qiang looked at the shop in front of him and introduced.

Following Wu Qiang's gaze, Liu Da could see that a shop was full of ancient jade, and he remembered the ancient jade of the Han Dynasty that Wu Qiang had just let him see, and couldn't help but walk towards the shop.

As soon as Liu Dake walked into the shop, the boss greeted him warmly and introduced the antiques. Suddenly, Liu Da could see that under the glass container, in a delicate gift box, there was an ancient jade similar to Wu Qiang's hand, and he was particularly surprised, and when he looked at the price carefully, he was even more surprised, the price marked on it was 800,000. Liu Dake couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What an expensive ancient jade. Liu Dake couldn't help but take a closer look, and indeed he was not mistaken. Liu Dake calculated in his heart: In other words, even if it is discounted, the piece of ancient jade of the Han Dynasty in Wu Qiang's pocket is worth at least hundreds of thousands. In an instant, Liu Dake seemed to understand something, and thought: No wonder Wu Qiang can't put it down, it turns out that it is really a treasure.

The boss's eyes couldn't stop looking at Liu Dake, and seeing that Liu Dake was very interested in the ancient jade in front of him, he thought he had met an expert, so he said, "Does the boss like it?" Would you like to take it out for you? ”

Wu Qiang seemed to see Liu Dake's thoughts, so he said to Liu Dake, who was standing in front of the counter: "According to the original plan, the cultural market is square, and the east and west are one kilometer long. Later, as it developed, it continued to develop in all directions, and if you turn it down carefully, it will take two full days. ”

Liu Dake seemed to understand Wu Qiang's intentions, and left the shop in Yiyi.
