Chapter 331: Don't Ask Me If I'm Spiritual
The third day of the treasure appreciation activity.
There were even more people queuing up at the scene than yesterday.
However, the experts, including Zhang Yang, are not panicked at all, because this time the total number of applicants at Jinmen Station is the same as that of Shenghai Station, so even if they are busy today, according to the law, they will definitely be idle tomorrow.
The first few treasure friends who came up to appreciate the treasure, the treasures brought are very mediocre, there is no gimmick, and it is not the same style of which museum, and some people even bluntly said that they came to join in the fun, and they were a little sleepy to see the publicity.
Until a middle-aged woman dressed plainly pulled out a brownish-yellow fur ball from her urea pocket.
It is the hair of a real animal.
The hair is very long and swirling, and at first glance it is known that it is an animal product, and it may even be raw.
"Hello expert teacher, this is what I took out of the gallbladder of the old sow at home, and the traditional Chinese medicine in the village said that it was a pig treasure, and it said that it could be sold for a lot of money."
"But after I arrived in Jinmen, I found a lot of big hospitals, and the top three and three B went there, and people didn't accept this thing. Can you help us see if this thing is worth anything and can you put it up for auction at this auction? ”
Zhang Yang was about to reach out directly and pick up the thing, but when he heard that it was taken out of the pig's gallbladder, he quickly put on his gloves.
Who knows if it's washed or not.
Pig treasure, he seems to have heard of it before, and the scientific name should be called pig litter.
In fact, it is the gallstones of pigs.
It must be an old pig to grow a precious Chinese medicinal material.
Zhang Yang took this piece of pig litter, which was bigger than a steamed bun, in his hand, and weighed it a little, it was much lighter than a stone, probably only one or two weights.
"It's okay, Baoyou, this is indeed natural pig litter, and it is sometimes called pig treasure in the countryside."
"But this thing has a price, no one buys it, and it is impossible for the hospital to buy it."
"What do you mean by having a price but not a market?" The woman asked, scratching her head.
Zhang Yang patiently explained: "Such a large pig litter was auctioned in Singapore before, and it was sold for more than 2 million. So a good collectible grade pig litter, the price will be high, that's for sure. But the current situation is that there are no people who are willing to collect this thing, no one is willing to give 2 million, or even 20,000 yuan, so it is called priceless and no market. ”
"Huh? Then my baby is not a waste. The woman said with a look of chagrin.
[What kind of treasure is Pig Treasure, there are many in the countryside]
[The medicinal value of this thing is very similar to that of the bezoar, normal people must use the bezoar]
[There is no prescription for Chinese medicine to use pig treasure, of course no one buys it]
[Dog treasure, donkey treasure, horse treasure, cow treasure, sheep treasure, collectively known as the five treasures, but there is no pig treasure, so it is cheap]
"Well, you can leave a contact information and we'll review it internally. If you can, you will be notified to bring the baby to the auction at that time, or directly auction the picture, and then bring the offline transaction after the transaction. ”
Zhang Yang also didn't know if he wanted a strange license to auction this original animal product.
If he wants to apply for a license like selling pork, then he can't help it.
"However, this kind of pig treasure, after drying, is like a bezoar, it can be stored for a long time, even if it can't be sold, you can also collect it first."
"Okay, thank you, teacher, I know." The woman nodded, put the ball back in the bag, and hurried to Xiao Tang to register.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it if it's too late.
In addition to this treasure friend who identified pig treasures, there was another collector who identified animal products in the morning.
And what was taken out was more gentle, a statue of a cow's horn.
When Baoyou just took out the statue, Zhang Yang thought it was a jade carving.
Because the whole body of the statue is red, it is very warm and moist, and has an obvious jade texture.
But if you look closely at the texture of the statue, there are a large number of vertical stripes, and the feel is different from that of stone, so you can be sure that the material is a yellow horn.
The horn carving is now an intangible cultural heritage item, so there must be no legal risk for this thing, and it depends on whether it is worth it or not.
"Teacher, I said I bought it by rhinoceros horns, do you believe it?" Baoyou asked Zhang Yang with a smile.
Zhang Yang nodded: "I believe it, how much did it cost at that time?" ”
"Two thousand." Baoyou smiled, "Don't worry, I bought it by the horns." Rhino horn can't be traded, I still know that. ”
Zhang Yang could see from Baoyou's face that the other party was very happy.
He also smiled and asked the other party: "Then do you know what theme this is carved?" ”
"The subject? Isn't this carving just a man farming, and a woman holding a child watching from the side, what's the theme? ”
"I still don't seem to understand." Zhang Yang waved his finger and told the other party, "This carving is one of the famous "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", and Lu Xun has written relevant articles to criticize it before. ”
"This carving of yours is one of the stories - burying the child and serving the mother, which tells the story of this man, because he can't support a family of four, in order to support the elderly mother, he is ready to bury his child alive."
"Huh? Why are you buried alive? ”
"One less mouth, one more bite of food."
[Really? It's too against the sky, isn't it?]
[The teacher didn't finish speaking, this big filial son named Guo Ju dug the pit halfway through and dug out the gold, so it was not buried]
[It's so filial, filial piety makes my scalp numb]
[Ancient foolishness and filial piety are like this, until now, if you are really buried alive, you have to go to prison]
[Why don't you say that until now, the gold dug up will be handed over, or will it not be able to survive? 】
"I'm not just giving you this story." Zhang Yang explained his intentions, "I want to tell you how to identify this horn carving. ”
"First of all, make sure it's real horns, not plastic, and there are many ways to identify them on the Internet."
"Secondly, on the basis of being a real bull's horn, let's see from this theme that it should be an old thing."
"It's really hard to sell modern handicrafts that fake this kind of thing."
"Old thing's words...... Can you get to Qianlong? Baoyou asked very professionally.
"From the late Qianlong period to the early Jiaqing period, the craftsmanship in the middle is the same, and it is impossible to accurately distinguish it."
"Jiaqing, the price can exceed two thousand, right?"
"Of course, two thousand is the price of modern handicrafts, you have at least 12,000 yuan, and it shouldn't be a big problem to make a net profit of 10,000 yuan."
Zhang Yang remembered in a trance that he had seen a horn carving of Daoguang, which was also the theme of twenty-four filial piety, and he took 13,000 shots.
This early Jiaqing piece should not be much different.
"Qianlong Jiaqing's is worth so much?" Baoyou, who was at the back of the line, couldn't help but ask.
"Folk craftsmen carved, and the material and carving are relatively average, the subject matter is still very outdated, what kind of bicycle do you need at this price?" Zhang Yang explained to the treasure friends behind, "The collection of statues must not be valued out of thin air regardless of the subject matter. ”
"This is to carve Guanyin, and the starting price is at least 30,000."
"Reasonable. Thank you, teacher. Baoyou nodded after hearing this, and secretly made up his mind to sell this horn carving as soon as possible.
In a few decades, no one will know about the twenty-four filial pieties, and this thing is even less valuable.
……
The most abstract treasure friend in the morning is a middle-aged aunt.
Wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, holding a dustbrush, at first glance I thought it was a Taoist aunt descending the mountain.
As a result, when I asked, I found out that he was just a lay disciple, and he didn't say that he was a "Jinmen layman".
"Then this layman, are you going to identify your whisk?"
Zhang Yang has already seen that the dust in the other party's hand is a modern horsehair handicraft, and the exterminator in the TV series is too similar, and the online purchase price does not exceed fifty yuan.
But the aunt shook her head and pulled out a long, flat cardboard box from her pocket.
"I'd like to ask the teacher to look at these charms."
"Charms?"
Zhang Yang opened it and saw that it was really a yellow paper drawing.
The last time he saw a charm, it was a "soul talisman" in a movie.
But the talisman in Auntie's box is much simpler than that evil spell.
And it's also very easy to read, because it all have simplified Chinese characters on it.
On each square piece of yellow rune paper, the four big characters "Shangqing Patriarch" are written in cinnabar, and the direction of the spell is very clear.
Depending on each type of charm, the pattern and text in the center will be different.
For example, the "Rising Sun Fu" draws a pattern of a hot pot, with "Rising Sun" written at the bottom of the pot, three "fire" characters on the top, and "Nine Turns and Dan" boiled in the pot;
In addition to this, many spiral upward lines are also drawn, symbolizing the rising yang energy.
And the effect of this yang rising talisman, according to this layman, is similar to the Liuwei Dihuang pill, which is to help people with yin deficiency replenish yang energy.
Another example is the "Fortune Charm", which draws an ingot, and writes the words "Fortune and Treasure". The rest of the blank space is filled with some spirals, as if light is emitting.
There is even a suspected self-created "health charm", the main content of which is the words "disease removal and disaster removal......
Zhang Yang read every talisman and finally confirmed that all of them had just been drawn this year.
And he felt that if he was given rune paper and cinnabar, he could also draw.
Anyway, just write some keywords, and just draw the line blindly in the rest of the place.
Also feeling the same way as Zhang Yang were the Tibetan friends who were watching.
"This is a charm, huh?"
"I drew when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, and my art teacher said I was a ghost drawing."
"If this thing can have an effect, the threshold for drawing talismans is really low enough."
"The handwriting is good, similar to that of my kindergarten daughter."
"I don't think it's useful......"
Zhang Yang suspected that these words of the melon-eating collectors had already made the back molars of the treasure friend wearing a Taoist robe in front of him almost crushed.
You can see that her cheeks have been agitating regularly.
Gritted his teeth fiercely.
But I still have to help her identify it, what if she was deceived?
"Baoyou, these are all new talismans that you have painted this year, do you have any questions?"
Aunt nodded: "It's true that I went to Guanli this year to invite, I mainly want to ask the teacher to help see if these charms are real." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yang was a little confused, "What you said is true, it doesn't mean that you have mana, right?" ”
"Uh-huh." Baoyou replied repeatedly, "I spent 5,000 yuan for each one, and when I came back, I found that it didn't work at all, so I felt very strange." The master in the temple said that it may be that my talisman was dropped, so it didn't work. ”
"But I've been keeping it close to me, so I shouldn't be dropped!"
Five thousand one, IQ tax is really not expensive.
It's normal if it doesn't work, and if it works, you have to call the police for the record.
However, he didn't plan to tell such useless truths, and returned to the identification.
"I can't tell if it's true or not." Zhang Yang told the truth, so as not to give the aunt unreliable hope, "What I can be sure of is that the rune paper and cinnabar are all new products that have just been produced, and these charms have just been drawn not long ago." ”
"Then why doesn't it work for me?" Baoyou is still struggling with this problem.
"It must be because of your insincerity." A collector interjected.
"You put ...... Licentious! Baoyou civilization replied.
Seeing that he was about to quarrel again, Zhang Yang quickly stood up and made a pause gesture.
"Stop, layman, you take these talismans, I'm done."
"In the future, I will only be responsible for the dating of collections related to religion and culture, and nothing else will be involved."
"Don't ask me if I'm spiritual."
……
In the afternoon, Zhang Yang saw a treasure with the highest level of cultural relics until this event was held.
An original Dunhuang mural inlaid in a glass frame.
The moment Zhang Yang saw something, three words came to mind: this punishment!
The content of the mural is "Lady of the Tang Palace".
Ten harem concubines are depicted, sitting around a huge square table, some drinking tea, and some are performing drinking orders.
The four people in the middle are responsible for playing music; There were also two maids next to them, tapping on the tooth board and beating for them.
According to Baoyou, this painting should be a copy of the Tang Dynasty painter Zhang Xuan's portrait of a lady.
It is equivalent to transferring the famous paintings that others painted on paper to the wall.
[I feel that the pressure has suddenly become higher]
[It has to be the live broadcast room of Master Zhang, a cultural relics thief]
[Is this the wall taken down?]
The last question of the barrage, Zhang Yang can answer.
The wall that can paint colorful murals is naturally not an ordinary earthen wall or stone wall, but is stacked layer by layer with clear mud + paper, and glued to the surface of the original wall, which is smooth and easy to paint.
So when viewed from the side, the cross-section of this mural resembles a plywood commonly used in decoration.
It's just that due to age, it has turned yellow and white.
"This is the colorful mural of the Northern Song Dynasty, or was it stolen in Dunhuang that year."
After Zhang Yang read it, he had already rated this mural as a first-class cultural relic.
Although it is not as precious as the Flying Sky Map, the Tang Dynasty maids in Dunhuang are also well-known.
"Is this a cultural relic taken from abroad?" Zhang Yang can only think of such a source.
The other ancestral and just-to-steal ones are too horrifying.
Dunhuang has been publicized for so many years, there should be no Chinese people who don't know that things are national treasures, and treasure friends dare to come to the offline treasure appreciation, which shows that they are still very confident.
"It's 1.5 million on the neon side, and the teacher helps me take a look, is it worth it?"
"In terms of cultural relics, it is very profitable; In terms of economic value, blood loss. ”
"It's okay, I just bought it for the value of cultural relics."
Baoyou's generosity was beyond Zhang Yang's imagination, and he even said on the spot that he hoped to donate this Dunhuang mural through the channel of the treasure appreciation conference.
Of course, Zhang Yang agreed:
"At present, our event organizing committee has in-depth cooperation with the Hailin Museum......
Before he finished speaking, he saw Teacher Chen from the calligraphy and painting group coming over urgently, and as soon as he saw Zhang Yang, he said:
"Director Zhang, you know, when I worked at the Qingzhou Museum, I was always an expert in Dunhuang murals......"
