The jade carving depicts Tantric Huanxi Zen, a monk and a beautiful woman performing an indescribable practice.

This kind of scene of joyful Zen is more common in some thangkas.

But on jade, it is quite rare.

At least Lin Cheng hadn't seen it before.

Moreover, most of the statues of Tantra are clay sculptures and bronze sculptures.

There are also relatively few statues of jade carving.

Wang Ruyan just glanced at the jade carving, then turned her head with a red face.

What a shame.

But Lin Cheng looked at it carefully, as if admiring a rare treasure.

"Why are you looking so closely? Didn't you just say that you can tell the truth from the fake by just looking at it? ”

Wang Ruyan said shyly.

She was ashamed to look at that thing, so she didn't want Lin Cheng to see it more.

Lin Cheng directly sent the jade carving to Wang Ruyan's eyes.

"You have to take a closer look at this, it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the real from the fake."

"What's so difficult, such an ugly thing is definitely a fabrication."

"Is it ugly? The carving is still good, and this is an object from the manufacturing office, which is an item for the royal family. ”

"Can this be for the queen? Royal is in this taste? ”

Wang Ruyan's eyes widened.

How can such a low-level and interesting thing have anything to do with the royal family.

How do you look at it and feel it, this is what people are making up nonsense now.

"Is this thing of low taste? You don't think it's a good thing just because it's a joy Zen carving? ”

"Tang Bohu's spring palace picture is highly sought after, and the artistic value is still very high, this jade carving should be from the Kangxi period."

"At that time, Yongzheng was still the fourth elder brother, and he believed in Tantra very much, so he got a lot of utensils related to Tantra, and this one is probably one of them."

After Lin Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Ruxiang with a smile.

Just wait for the old man to announce the answer.

Wang Ruxiang nodded again.

This time, Lin Cheng was right again.

This is indeed a thing that Yongzheng made during the Kangxi period, when he was still the fourth elder brother.

Although the jade material is average, the craftsmanship is excellent.

In addition, the carved theme is very rare, and it is also a rare boutique.

"Elder Wang is really powerful, such a rare thing has a collection."

Lin Cheng gave a thumbs up and gave Wang Ruxiang a thumbs up.

Wang Ruxiang, who had been straining his face, finally showed a smile.

Everyone likes to be complimented.

Wang Ruxiang is no exception.

And being praised by Lin Cheng made him feel even more proud.

"I picked up the leak a few days ago, such a good thing, but now few people know it, I don't know whether to say lucky or sorry."

Regarding the matter of picking up leaks, Wang Ruxiang is quite conflicted.

He likes the thrill of picking up a leak.

But seeing that no one knew a large number of treasures, he felt that the knowledge of antique collection was not popularized enough, so he felt regretful.

Or that people are contradictions.

Most of the people who have reached Wang Ruxiang's status both want, want, and want.

And Lin Cheng's mind is much simpler.

Just let me pick up all the leaks, and other people can be spectators.

"The truth is always in the hands of a few, whether it's collecting or other industries, only a small fraction of the top people."

"The vast majority of people can only learn to make a fur and do something to make soy sauce to make fun, so Wang Lao, you don't have to sigh so much."

Lin Cheng's words made Wang Ruxiang sigh.

He also knew that the things he wanted in his heart could not be achieved.

It's just that when I'm old, I always want to sublimate and make more contributions to make myself famous in history.

Next, Lin Cheng picked up the stone carving.

The stone carving is not large, only the size of a palm, the height of half a forearm.

The carving is of a stone lion.

Such a small stone lion is generally used in the study.

It is used to decorate the table or as a paperweight.

The shape of the stone lion is a bit ugly and cute.

This relatively abstract stone lion shape mostly appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, it can be said that none of the craftsmen who carved the stone lion had seen the stone lion with their own eyes, so it was all up to the soul when carving.

As soon as the soul is played, the stone lion has all kinds of ugly and cute strange shapes.

"This stone lion is ugly and cute, it looks like an object from the Ming Dynasty, and the characteristics of the times are obvious."

"The stone is made of Shoushan stone, one of the four famous stones, and the texture is quite good, I think it should be true."

Wang Ruyan rushed to answer again.

But Lin Cheng shook his head, obviously disagreeing with her statement.

Wang Ruyan, who was pouting, glared at Lin Cheng, and secretly stretched out her hand and twisted it on his waist.

"Why do you keep going against me?"

"If I say it's false, you say it's true, and if I say it's true, and you say it's false, can't you be the same as me once?"

"I'm just trying to get things done."

Lin Cheng picked up the stone lion and pointed at the stone lion's ugly face.

"If you take a closer look at this carver, can you see the traces of machine polishing?"

"No, I can't see it."

After taking a closer look at it several times, Wang Ruyan still didn't see any traces of machine polishing.

Lin Cheng reluctantly pointed out the specific location.

"The eyes of the lion, if you look closely, the carving is definitely made with a modern machine."

But Wang Ruyan's big eyes were still blank.

I don't blame her, people who have not been exposed to carving, it is difficult to tell the difference between machine carving and pure handwork.

The handmade here refers to the handmade use of old-fashioned carving tools.

It is not said to be carved with modern power tools such as dental machines.

In today's jade carvings, the carvers carve them with electric tools are already hand-carved.

Machine engraving refers to the pure use of computer programming to make patterns, all by the machine to complete the engraving.

"This is an obvious trace of the carving machine of the ivory carving, can there be an electric ivory carving machine in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Uh... Probably not. ”

Wang Ruyan blushed.

The momentum went down in one fell swoop.

What a shame.

"Learn more in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to mix in the antique circle."

"Oh."

Wang Ruyan, who was drooping her head, was about to buckle her toes out of a three-bedroom apartment.

Even she wanted to find someone and calculate her psychological shadow area.

"This sentence is not bad, you have to keep learning in the antique circle, and if you don't learn, you won't be able to keep up with the times."

"Especially now there is too much technology and hard work, and the technology of counterfeiting is changing with each passing day, and once you don't learn, you will be thrown off by the times."

What Wang Ruxiang said came from the bottom of his heart.

"You don't have to look at that bamboo utensil, Xiao Ye, you go to my room and take out the brocade box, and the last one is to look at the objects in the brocade box."
