Chapter 1033 To Be Determined
"The most detailed paintings of the flower and birds of Emperor Huizong of Song are feathers and eyes."
At this time, an expert talked: "It is said that when he draws feathers, he is accustomed to using double hooks and fine hairs to make the feathers sprinkle and lively and natural. Especially when depicting the eyes of birds, he often uses raw lacquer to finish the touch, which is hidden beans, and is higher than paper, and he is almost ready to move."
"This is the bird in this picture of rare birds, full of exquisite sketches with both form and spirit. They have changed from simple and sincere interest to subtle and agile, that is, the form is similar to objects and the spirit is similar to heaven and earth..."
During the comments, Wang Guan and others also nodded. Everyone has an intuitive feeling of whether the painting is good or not, so they naturally prefer the position that the East and the West are the original. After all, the so-called doubts are sometimes speculative.
This is not surprising. No matter what ancient and modern times, no matter what it is, there are speculators. The same is true for the appraiser industry. When you find fault with things, you may not think that things are wrong. Maybe it is for the sake of innovation or a gamble. After all, with the advancement of science and technology, some things that used to be genuine may now be considered imitations.
Based on this reason, some people naturally take advantage of their mistakes and want to bet on luck. If they happen to be right, then this matter is his honor and pride, and they must always be on their lips. It is this reason that the industry is filled with various voices, a lot of monsters and monsters, and all kinds of messy things happen from time to time.
Therefore, outsiders think that the water collected by antiques is very deep, which is largely because some people are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. After all, only in chaos can they take advantage of the situation and make great gains.
However, Mr. Zhou and others are very ethical. If you say something, it is right. If it is wrong, it is wrong. Naturally, there will be no selfishness. After careful appraisal, it is unanimously believed that the thing is the original work.
"It's definitely okay, it's all." An expert sighed: "With these three treasures, it's really worth the trip."
"You're asking for too low, and the good stuff is still coming."
At the same time, the expert next to him signaled: "Did you see, the jade seal!"
Of course, the jade seal is not the imperial seal that was ordered by heaven and lived forever. It is the seal of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
After all, in addition to the twenty-four treasures, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty also carved many seals. For example, Emperor Qianlong engraved countless seals in his life. It is said that there were more than 10,000 seals. Most of these jade seals were plundered and lost overseas in the late Qing Dynasty. In recent years, these emperor jade seals have been seen in major auction houses around the world, but the prices have been very high.
Some people say that this is not enough to plunder once. Seeing that the Chinese have money, they try to plunder twice. Although this is somewhat biased, it is not unreasonable.
However, the situation is better now. Someone opened the door of the safe in the warehouse and asked everyone to pick things casually. This situation is rare. Mr. Zhou and others naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. They must be as big as their eyes are. They will not miss any precious treasure.
Jade seals are naturally treasures, especially the emperor's jade seals, which are even rare treasures. Modern people may lack a sense of substitution. In fact, in ancient times, seals are equivalent to ID cards, just like a symbol of a person's power and status.
Such examples can often be seen in some ancient documents. When breaking through a city, they directly killed the officials in the city, and then used the official seal to command the military and civilians, and the military and civilians were also very obedient.
Another thing is that an official died of illness or was killed by a thief on his way to his post. Someone impersonated him to become an official, and there was an official seal as evidence, but no one doubted it at all.
For such an example, modern people probably regard it as a legendary story. In fact, this is a real story. You should know that the transportation in ancient times was very backward. Although it was not as exaggerated as the country and the countryside would never interact with each other in their lifetime, some people really did not go out of a hundred miles in their lives.
This is the so-called local complex, and it is difficult to leave the hometown. The main reason is that once you leave, you often have no chance to return to the countryside. It is also uncommon for you to die in a foreign land and be buried in another place.
The backwardness of traffic naturally leads to information asymmetry. In the era without cameras and telephone networks, the sign of the sign naturally becomes a token for testing a person's identity. Then with the official seal, you can naturally impersonate it. In other words, the official seal is a symbol of power. Everyone recognizes the seal but not the person, and the seal is more important than the person.
Just by understanding this, Mr. Zhou and others naturally knew the value of the jade seal more clearly. It not only had economic value, but also the traditional cultural value behind it. So after discovering that there was a jade seal, they all surrounded them and looked around.
After a closer look, I saw that the jade seal is dark yellow and looks very ancient. Moreover, it is a general square seal, but this jade seal is round, just like a pillar. On the pillar, it is simply carved, similar to a mountain, but has its edges and corners removed.
At this time, an expert took the jade seal and looked at the text on the printing surface. Although the text on the printing surface was reversed, the expert was experienced and could recognize it after a little look: "Wufutang."
"Oh, it's the seal of Emperor Yongzheng."
When the people next to him heard this, they immediately came to a conclusion. After all, each emperor had his own private space in the palace and then took various elegant hall names. For example, Emperor Qianlong's Sanxi Hall was a collection of calligraphy and paintings. As for the Wufu Hall, it was a place where Yongzheng usually relaxed and cultivated his character.
"What a pity, it's just the hall seal."
At the same time, an expert sighed: "If it is a treasure that Yongzheng saw, a treasure that Yongzheng pardoned, a jade seal such as being unable to be a king, respecting heaven and respecting ancestors, and loving the virtuous and loving the people, it will be even more precious."
"It would be nice to have a seal with a hall number." Old Zhou smiled and said, "After all, Yongzheng was not Qianlong. He asked people to carve seals not many jade seals, and even fewer can survive in the midst of the war. It is a relatively lucky thing to be able to see one piece now, so don't make any other extravagant requests."
"That's right..." Thinking of this, everyone agreed and no longer focused on the content of the seal, but instead admired the texture of the jade seal and the method of seal carving. After all, the quality of the seal is largely reflected in the materials, carving, and seal carving. Good materials are matched with good craftsmanship, which complement each other. If carving and seal carving are not good, it is simply a waste of things.
However, the emperor's jade seal had no worries about this.
I won’t talk about the jade material. Even if Yongzheng cleaned up a lot of messes to wipe Emperor Kangxi’s butt, he was frugal. However, his identity was there, no matter how frugal it was, he would not lack a good jade material. As for carving and seal carving, it was done by the court masters. The seal characters were iron hooks and silver paintings, which were painted in the vigorous lines, and had a free and light beauty, which was very beautiful.
Royal products are guaranteed by quality. There is no doubt that things are definitely rare treasures.
"This...to be decided!"
Even if it is the emperor's jade seal, it is only a first-class private seal, rather than the imperial treasure that the emperor issued to the world. It is definitely slightly inferior to the few calligraphy and paintings just now, so it can only be included in the scope to be determined. After all, the amount of exchanged things is limited, so you must be very careful and it is impossible to make a decision in a hurry.
"By the way, what is this."
At this moment, someone found a strange thing next to the jade seal.
"What?"
Everyone also looked at it, but they saw that the things were as big as a disc, but the material was not obvious, which was a bit strange. For a moment, everyone became more interested, and Mr. Zhou even took the things up and looked at them.
"Huh."
After weighing it a little, Mr. Zhou was slightly surprised: "It seems to be a tortoise shell."
At the same time, everyone also saw clearly that things looked like disks. Their heart was upward just now, so naturally they couldn't see any clues. But now they were facing upward, so they naturally saw some textures. From the texture, you can know that the thing was a tortoise shell, and not a whole piece of tortoise shell, but a piece of tortoise shell.
In addition, there are some seemingly messy carvings on the tortoise shell, both lines and dots, which make people confused and unable to understand the meaning of it.
If it were before, everyone would definitely not understand the meaning, but after visiting Mr. Xu yesterday, when I see this piece of tortoise shell again, everyone's eyes inevitably have a little more strange color, and they feel like they can't make a book by chance.
“Is it it?”
At the right time, an expert whispered: "It feels like it."
"Not only like, I think it's it."
Others signaled: "Look, these lines and dots are exactly the same. However, the corners seem to have been polished. I don't know if they are deliberately splitting or breaking up and splitting away accidentally..."
"No matter what the reason is, there is only one piece of things, which is a pity."
Hearing this, everyone nodded. It is better to be sloppy than to be disabled. This is a recognized thing. Although it is often said that it is a helpless thing to see through the rules. If there is the conditions, who doesn’t want to have everything?
You should know that the fragments are just fragments. Even if you can understand some situations through the fragments, sometimes a leaf will be blinded by the eyes. Only when you understand this will everyone sigh like this.
"Look at if there is another tortoise shell..."
At this time, some people were unwilling to give up and searched in various safes. Unfortunately, they had no gains, but they lost the loss and harvested the mulberry and the tortoise shell was not found, but the man found another rare object.
"Come here and see what this is?"
At that greeting, everyone naturally looked at it and saw that the thing was actually a stone, but there were vague dragons appearing on the stone, with scales, heads, claws, and neck hair clearly visible. The most important thing is that the dragon-shaped pattern on the stone was not carved artificially, but a naturally formed texture.
"Dragon Pattern Stone."
At first glance, everyone was amazed, but they temporarily put the matter of tortoise shell behind their minds.
