[69 Book Bar - www.] Bao Jianxin and others are not optimistic about this jade bowl. Both the workmanship and the color combination are too bright, and it should be a modern imitation. Why did they choose it? Could it be?

Is there another mystery, or is this done on purpose? Bao Jianxin said before that the antiques chosen by whoever chooses them will be given to him as gifts. Did they choose this method because they did not want to accept their own gifts?

Dong Jingjian himself was a little depressed. His level was not high, but he was not optimistic about this jade bowl. It looked like a modern handicraft. How could it be related to an antique? Zhao Gang insisted that he choose this one, so he chose it.

"Dong Xiaoyou, don't you want to lose on purpose?" Bao Jianxin said jokingly.

Dong Jingjian smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Bao Jianxin saw that Dong Jingjian was full of confidence and seemed very sure. Could it be that he had made a mistake? He smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."

Everyone has chosen their toys, and the next step is to compete.

"Jiang'er, you go ahead and say it," Bao Jianxin said.

Hu Xiangjiang picked up the jar unhurriedly, and said calmly and without arrogance: "This jar is in the shape of an incense burner, about half a foot high, with sloping shoulders and a plump middle part of the belly. The glaze color is crystal clear and the glaze accumulation is like

The porcelain is bluish in color, and the cracked ice-like pattern reveals a long-lasting ancient charm. The middle part of the abdomen is decorated with plain floral patterns. Although it is not as gorgeous as the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has the unique charm of Song porcelain. The original lotus

The images of flowers, orchid leaves, chrysanthemums and peonies are very common. What is surprising is that the smooth and rounded arc outlines the lush petals and leaves, forming a flourishing and prosperous scene.

Judging from the glaze, carving techniques, pattern characteristics and green glaze opening characteristics of this object, it is a product of the Yue kiln in the Song Dynasty. Early Yue kiln porcelain was mostly decorated with floral water ripples, with clear layers and strong three-dimensionality, especially

The traditional carving techniques and the glaze color of the vessel are cleverly combined to form a perfect and harmonious whole, thereby giving the vessel new vitality and adding a lot of brilliance to Song Dynasty porcelain."

There is no doubt that Hu Xiangjiang analyzed the jar very well. Bao Jianxin showed a hint of joy on his face. It seems that he has put a lot of thought into his words over the past year.

"Based on the above, I estimate that the market value of this Song jar is about 200,000 yuan." Hu Xiangjiang said.

Bao Jianxin nodded. If it is confirmed to be genuine, this jar is indeed worth the price.

After Hu Xiangjiang finished speaking, his expression was calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and there was no trace of praise or self-rejoicing on his face for choosing such a high-value antique. This humble attitude made Bao Jianxin very satisfied.

"Zhao Xiaoyou, what do you think?" Bao Jianxin said to Dong Jingjian.

Zhao Gang picked up the jar and smelled it, and immediately smelled the smell of modern composite colorants. Judging from the age, it was also a modern imitation Song Dynasty handicraft. Such an imitation was worth 200,000? Zhao Gang was about to whisper to Dong Jingjian.

Luo Siling looked at it for a moment, put down the jar gently, and said: "In the early Northern Song Dynasty, Yue Kiln continued to prosper and develop. The shapes of the utensils were exquisite and beautiful, the glaze color was green, pure and transparent; fine scratched decorations were popular, the techniques were skillful, and the patterns were simple and elegant.

There are a wide range of decorative themes, including mandarin ducks playing with lotuses, two butterflies facing each other, turtles lying on lotus leaves, two phoenixes holding branches, parrots singing to each other, cranes flying in the clouds, birds perching on flowers, as well as human figures, peony patterns, lotus petal patterns, and water ripples.

, entangled branch patterns, dragon patterns, etc., the images are vivid and lifelike.

In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the craftsmanship of porcelain making gradually declined, and the quality of the products dropped significantly, but there were still occasional products with exquisite craftsmanship. By the late Northern Song Dynasty, most of the utensils were burned with open fires, which were rough in production, simple and hasty in carving patterns, and the glaze was gray and lacked luster.

Variety tends to be monotonous, and porcelain production has completely declined.

In the early Southern Song Dynasty, due to the imperial court's demand for burning sacrificial vessels and daily porcelain, the porcelain production in Longkou, Baolingtou and Kaidaoshan areas of Shanglinhu Temple flourished again, and a new short-lived period of prosperity appeared. However, the good times did not last long. Longquan kiln's

The rise of the Yue kiln finally stopped. The manufacturing level of this Yue kiln jar is first-class. From this point alone, the Yue kiln in the Song Dynasty is much better. This is because the modern manufacturing technology is better than that in ancient times."

Hu Xiangjiang didn't expect that his rather satisfactory insights would turn out to be a big joke in Luo Siling's ears. He didn't doubt Luo Siling's eyesight at all. There was a bit of red on his handsome face, and he said a little unwillingly.

: "Natural craftsmanship is good, and it's worth ten or twenty thousand, right?"

Luo Siling smiled and said: "You can see this kind of handicraft a lot in Panyuan Street in Kyoto, and you can buy it for just a few dozen yuan."

Hu Xiangjiang's face turned redder. He didn't expect it to be so cheap. Bao Jianxin on the other side was quite embarrassed. He bought these jars for 30,000 yuan! Now in Luo Siling's mouth, it turned into dozens of yuan.

He couldn't accept it for a while because he was selling money for money. Luo Siling's judgment was too arbitrary.

"Uncle Bao, are you deliberately testing our eyesight?" Luo Siling asked. Bao Jianxin, a well-known local collector, naturally has good eyesight. How could he not see that this jar is a high imitation?

Bao Jianxin said awkwardly: "This jar does have a story."

So I briefly talked about the origin of the jar. Bao Jianxin likes to travel and often hunt for treasures in the countryside while traveling. Last month, he went to the countryside to hunt for treasures. When he came to a village, he saw two farmer brothers surrounding him.

The two brothers were worried about this broken house. Each of them held an earthen jar in their arms. He thought the jar was very beautiful at the time. After asking, he found out that their ancestral house was broken. The two brothers had no money to repair it. Only the legend passed down by their ancestors.

It's a very expensive jar, I plan to sell one to repair it.

Bao Gong looked at the jar and found that it really looked like the Song Dynasty jar described in the book. He planned to give five thousand. When he was about to buy it, an old lady suddenly rushed out of the broken house and drove the two brothers back with a stick.

The things belonging to his ancestors cannot be sold, even if they starve to death. Bao Gong's curiosity became more and more aroused. The next day, since he went to the countryside to wander around, he finally found an opportunity to chat with the two brothers. The two brothers planned to sell him one.

But for 30,000 yuan, he could send it over at night, because the jar in front of him was hidden by the old lady. After a transaction, Mr. Bao finally bought a jar for 30,000 yuan and hid it all the time, because he was afraid that the old lady would find out and cause trouble.

He never went to the countryside again. He never thought that the treasure he had hidden turned out to be a fake. How could this make him feel so embarrassed?

"Miss Luo, I have some discernment. As you said, the works produced at the peak of the Song Dynasty's ceramic manufacturing technology are no worse than modern ones. Therefore, is it too early for Miss Luo to make such an assertion?" Bao Jianxin said.

.

Luo Siling did not expect that this jar had such an origin. No wonder Bao Jianxin's face looked awkward. It would not look good on anyone else's face, and he immediately felt that it was inappropriate.

Zhao Gang whispered in Dong Jingjian's ear. At this moment, everyone's attention was on Bao Jianxin and Luo Siling, not Zhao Gang.

Complex changes appeared on Dong Jingjian's face, including hesitation, excitement, etc. In the end, Dong Jingjian seemed to have gained some incomparable positive energy, puffed out his chest, and said in a firm tone: "Mr. Bao, this jar is indeed a high imitation.

My nose is sometimes very sensitive to certain smells. I smelled the smell of modern composite plastic in the jar. This smell can only be found after high-level calcination, and I can conclude that this jar was fired four months ago.

.”

Luo Siling was extremely surprised and asked in astonishment: "Your nose is so sensitive?" She concluded that the jar was a fake because of her rich experience, but the other party actually relied on his nose to determine the time of its production.

Despite her extensive knowledge, she has never heard of such a thing.

"I don't know what's going on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Maybe it's because I can smell a certain special substance." Dong Jingjian explained according to Zhao Gang's meaning.

"It's amazing." Luo Siling couldn't help but said.

Dong Jingjian was suddenly envied by such a top-notch beauty, and he felt extremely happy. He didn't expect that just talking about it would be of such great benefit. If he made a little progress after being envious, wouldn't he have a greater chance?

Dong Jingjian said sheepishly: "Hey, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and I can't control it." Anyway, it's a little bit mysterious. If there is another time, I can't judge it, and I can't blame him. This fat man

Think of a way out before telling lies.

It was the first time Luo Siling encountered such a magical thing, and she couldn't help but be a little excited. Although the other party said that it occasionally worked, it was a real thing after all. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would definitely not believe it.

The same was true for Bao Jianxin. He didn't expect that the other party had such a strange sense of smell, but when he thought that he might have been tricked by others, he felt annoyed.

"I'm going out for a trip," Bao Jianxin said.

Zhao Gang smelled that Bao Jianxin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his breathing became rapid. Now he said that he would go out again and must go to the two brothers selling cans to argue with him. He quickly gave Dong Jingjian a little push behind his back. Dong Jingjian was a shrewd man and immediately understood Zhao Gang's point.

He quickly got up and said: "Mr. Bao, are you looking for those two brothers? One more person will give you more strength. Let's go with you."

Luo Siling also said that she wanted to take a look, and Hu Xiangjiang also meant the same. Zhao Gang caught a flash of chill in the corner of his eyes.

A rich young man who lives in the underworld? Zhao Gang sighed in his heart.

Seeing this, Bao Jianxin couldn't refuse. Anyway, the trip wasn't too far, so he agreed. Zhao Gang and the others took the Hummer that Bao Jianxin bought, while Luo Siling and Hu Xiangjiang took the carriage together.

Everyone strode out of the door. Zhao Gang saw the carriage up close. It was very beautiful, very much like the carriage used by British nobles in the seventeenth century. Zhao Gang soon discovered that Hu Xiangjiang was not sitting in the carriage with Luo Siling.
